"Since you entered the palace, my face has really become rounder." Su Qingwan looked at her own cheek in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help sighing, "If you get lucky in the future, would you hate me?"

"Of course not. As long as it's you, no matter what you look like, I won't dislike you." Mu Luoluo put the folded clothes under her hands into the closet, and ordered the little maid to take out the clothes she couldn't wear to dry Put it away, and then walked in front of Su Qingwan, "Since that's what you said, why not go out for activities? Would you like to perform a bow?"

"It's okay, I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time, and I'm very tired." Su Qingwan readily agreed, stood up and kissed Mu Luoluo gently on the side of the cheek, and then changed her clothes.

"Your Majesty has already approved the marriage between Wang Bi and Jin Qing, and her father's family letter has also approved the recognition of Jin Qing as a daughter. Therefore, it is definitely obligatory for the Qing Palace to go to the Qing Palace regarding the dowry." Su Qingwan changed into a narrow-hued hu suit, and put Mu Luoluo on her arm. With his arm, he walked slowly, "The Inner Court Secretary will make up part of it, and the rest, how about the rest?"

"Being a first-class court lady of the Shangqing Palace and the mother-in-law of a general of soldiers and horses, the dowry is naturally indispensable." Mu Luoluo pondered for a while, and then said, "I remember that the Su family had a rouge shop in the capital, and no one opened it all year round. Reason, I, Mr. Mu, planned to take care of it, so I simply gave it to Jinqing, and it can be regarded as a household to make a living, and the land is leased to a fertile land, brocade, rice, millet and servant girls, all according to the common practice of Shuzhi."

"You are very generous. You gave away my Su family's rouge shop without batting an eye." Su Qingwan smiled and twisted Mu Luoluo's arm. "You don't see much dowry when you marry into my Su family."

"The Zhuangzi in Suzhou, the shop in the capital, you can choose it." Mu Luoluo smiled and said, "I am a dignified young miss of the Mu family, can't I get the dowry?"

"Miss Mu has passed away for more than three years, and now the bell plants on the tomb are half the height of a person." Su Qingwan half joked and half reminded.

"That's right, I've been in the palace for almost four years." Mu Luoluo let out a long sigh of relief, "It seems that when I'm by your side, life goes by very quickly."

"Who says it's not? I can't get enough of it day and night." Su Qingwan said while leaning her head on Mu Luoluo's shoulder. She wanted to look at the clouds in the sky, but she saw a paper kite raised by someone. Remember, there is a beautiful paper kite in the warehouse of Shangqing Palace, I don’t know if it can still fly.”

"A few days ago when I went to the warehouse to look for cloth, I saw that there was a thick layer of dust. If I want to put it away, I'm afraid I have to apply a thin layer of wax." Mu Luoluo said, "But I haven't seen anyone for a long time. Release the paper kite."

"Go over and have a look, maybe you can still be stubborn." Su Qingwan became interested, and walked over there excitedly, holding Mu Luoluo's arm.

"Greetings to Concubine Shu." Shu Cairen suddenly came out from the fork in the road, which surprised Su Qingwan.

"Get up." Su Qingwan regained her composure, and waved her hand to signal her to get up, "What a coincidence, Sister Shu didn't stay in the palace to give birth, but also came to hang out in the imperial garden."

"The imperial doctor said that it's good for the children to walk around." Shu Cairen smiled slightly, his face was a little softer. If he didn't deliberately keep a distance from Su Qingwan, Mu Luoluo would only think that she had really changed her temper. "My sister is pregnant for the first time this time, so naturally she obeys the imperial physician's orders in everything."

"That's the best. Your majesty's heirs are weak. If my sister can give birth to a prince, it will be no problem to restore her status as a beauty." Su Qingwan also smiled, but the smile just stayed on her face.

"My younger sister looks at the direction my mother is going, and seems to want to see who is releasing the paper kite. My younger sister is also very curious, why don't we go and see together?" Shu Cai said humanely.

"Alright." Su Qingwan nodded, and calmly avoided Shu Cairen's hand that wanted to hold her arm.Shu Cairen didn't care at all, and withdrew his hand with a chuckle, and walked side by side with Su Qingwan.

"When my younger sister was grounded, she thought about many things thoroughly." Shucai said leisurely, "There are many rules in this palace, unlike the younger sister at home who is presumptuous. When she first came, she often overstepped. But I have betrayed my mother's painstaking efforts, and I also ask my lady to have a lot, so don't care about my sister."

"It's okay, since my sister knows she's wrong, I absolutely have no reason to hold on to it." Su Qingwan glanced at Shu Cairen, and couldn't figure out what she was planning for a moment.

There were rustling sounds in the forest not far ahead, and when a group of people approached, a sudden groan came out, everyone's expressions changed, Su Qingwan's expression was especially ugly.

"Concubine Shu is here, who is acting presumptuously in the forest!" Shu Cairen angrily reprimanded, making Su Qingwan further confirm her conjecture.

The woman behind Shu Cai rushed into the forest very vigorously, screaming everywhere, and after a while, she escorted the two disheveled people out.

"I just thought it was a maid in some palace who couldn't bear to be lonely and fooled around with her lover in this beautiful spring day. I never thought it was Sister Duanmu!" Shu Cairen said in surprise.

Beauty Duanmu's clothes were messy, her black hair was loose, she was caught by her arms and couldn't move, she only stared at Shucai with one pair of eyes, as if she wanted to see a hole in her face.

"You don't have a neat appearance, how decent are you, and you haven't tidied up your clothes quickly!" Su Qingwan scolded.

"Your Majesty, when the servants passed by, the adulterer was taking off her clothes, as if she wanted to do something wrong, then..."

"Presumptuous, such lewd words, how can you say such obscene words and dirty words to your mother's ears for nothing." Mu Luoluo hurriedly interrupted the mother-in-law's words, which can be regarded as saving a little face for Beauty Duanmu.

"Sister Duanmu is a concubine, but she has a private meeting with a foreigner. This, this is not proper." Shu Cairen looked at Su Qingwan at a loss, but he couldn't hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

"You..." Beauty Duanmu was about to speak, but the imperial physician Liu Bin who was kneeling beside her suddenly started to kowtow.

"This minister has admired the beauty Duanmu for a long time, and he has a wrong mind. Today, he saw the beauty Duanmu walking in the imperial garden. He took a drug for a moment of evil thoughts! This is the work of this minister alone, and has nothing to do with the beauty Duanmu!" Liu Bin kowtowed heavily, After a while, I saw the red, "Beauty Duanmu struggled to resist after waking up. The minister wanted to use force, but was smashed by the empress, and he did not have time to do things!"

Liu Bin gave up his life to protect each other, but it is also considered affectionate and righteous.Mu Luoluo sighed in her heart, feeling sorry for this pair of fateful mandarin ducks.

"No..." Beauty Duanmu was anxious and wanted to defend her, but was interrupted by Su Qingwan.

"In the palace, how dare you be so bold!" Su Qingwan scolded angrily, "The imperial hospital can't keep you as an imperial doctor, so I immediately packed up my things and drove them out of the palace. Beauty Duanmu was also frightened this time, so she quickly sent her back to Xuemei Palace !No one should say anything about what happened today!"

"So let it go?" Shu Cairen was in a hurry, stopped the woman who was about to send Duanmu beauty away, and looked back at Su Qingwan, "Could it be that the concubine Shu wants to protect these two?"

"Cover up?" Su Qingwan lowered her gaze, and looked at Shu Cairen with a half-smile, "Then Shu Cairen thinks how to deal with this matter? Bring the two of them to the Empress? Bring them to Your Majesty? This matter has caused a lot of trouble, and everyone in the palace knows it and the whole world knows it? Where are you going to put your majesty's face! Where are you going to put the royal family's face!"

"I..." Shu Cairen was so yelled at by Su Qingwan that he couldn't speak, but he felt unwilling.

"Beauty Duanmu has been insulted like this for no reason, and she has already lost face, but you still want to make her public. Could it be that you have vented your personal grievances, and you have to force her to death to feel better?" Su Qingwan's voice was low, a rare gesture. When he got angry, he frightened Shu Cairen for a while.

Beauty Duanmu saw that Su Qingwan wanted to protect each other, so she naturally kept quiet, gathered her clothes and left in a hurry, Shucai wanted to stop her, but she didn't dare to act rashly.Liu Bin knelt on the ground and kowtowed, the bright red blood winding out on the gravel road.

"The Imperial Physician Mrs. Liu has misbehavior. He was beaten twenty sticks and kicked out of the palace. If anyone asks, he will say that he stole the medicinal materials from the imperial hospital. Today's matter must not be publicized." Su Qingwan said coldly He glanced at the people around him, "If half a word is leaked, there is no need to keep it in the palace in the future."

"Yes." The mother-in-law and maidservants responded. Although Shu Cairen was reluctant, he had no choice but to do so.

"Let's all go away. Seeing such filthy wretches in broad daylight spoils my good spirits. Go back to the palace!" Su Qingwan helped Mu Luoluo's hand and turned around angrily.

Mu Luoluo could feel that Su Qingwan's hands were shaking.

"This person's heart is really long." Shu Cairen looked at Su Qingwan's back, and spoke calmly, but pulled the veil vigorously in his hand, "She was clearly covering up, but she still said so grandiose."

"Then we're done like this?" Cui Yan was a little anxious.

"What's the hurry, of course we can't just let it go like this." Shu Cairen glanced at Cui Yan, "We can't provoke her, so naturally there are people she can't afford. As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Sooner or later, things will come to light.”

"Young master is wise." Cui Yan calmed down and praised.

"What I told you to do, how is it going?" Shu Cairen held Cui Yan's hand and turned around, walking back slowly, feeling quite happy.

"My lord, your aunt has already made the preparations. Now seven or eight people are waiting outside the palace. We only need to buy off the guards at the corner gate at that time, and this will be considered a success." Cui Yan said complacently.

"Okay." Shu Cairen nodded slightly, and then added, "Let them wipe their butts clean, so as not to get out of season."

"Yes." Cui Yan responded.

"Let's go, go back and see how my stewed glutinous rice and chicken are doing." Shu Cairen couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth from rising.

"Qingwan, Qingwan, Qingwan!" Mu Luoluo called Su Qingwan repeatedly, and finally called Su Qingwan's spirit back.

Su Qingwan let go suddenly, only then did she see that Mu Luoluo's wrist was already turning red from her grip, "Sorry...I...I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay." Mu Luoluo shook her head and pulled down her cuffs, "What were you thinking just now?"

"I've been hunting hawks all my life, but in the end, I don't want to be pecked by a house sparrow." Su Qingwan's eyes were reddish, obviously angered. "Today, I was really tricked by Shucai once."

"Just to let you see Duanmu's affair?" Mu Luoluo was a little puzzled by Shucai's actions today.

"Kill two birds with one stone. She originally wanted to use my hands to get rid of the Duanmu family, and Ban's friendship with the Duanmu family will definitely hold grudges against me." Su Qingwan took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "Fortunately, we broke through. It's too early, the two of them never did anything more outrageous, otherwise, today's matter will definitely come to the front of the palace, and then half of them will lose their lives."

"It's over." Mu Luoluo held Su Qingwan's hand in her palm and comforted her.

"No, this is just the beginning. I underestimated Shucai. You are right. This person is not a good person." Su Qingwan narrowed her eyes, "I underestimated the enemy."

"However, after this incident, I think the person behind Shucai will soon surface." Mu Luoluo said abruptly.

"Huh?" Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo, "How do you say that?"

"Do you think that Shu Cairen will really let this matter go and stay silent as you ordered?" Mu Luoluo asked back, "In other words, if you exchanged positions with Shu Cairen today, how would you do it? "

"Thick paper can't cover the raging fire, it depends on who makes the fire raging." Su Qingwan was stunned, just at this moment when the two of them returned to the Shangqing Palace, Su Qingwan was so lucky to turn her head that she was able to see flying in the imperial garden from afar. paper kite.

Su Qingwan took two quick steps, entered the cabinet, and could still see the butterfly and paper kite from the window.

"It's really a good plan." Mu Luoluo entered the cabinet half a step later than Su Qingwan. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It seems that Su Qingwan's palace gate is bound to come out today.

"This person can't be kept." Su Qingwan's eyes were gloomy, looking at the slowly sinking paper kite, like an actor who had just finished singing, "It's time to close this game."
