Chapter 78

"The pair of vases should be withdrawn. They have been placed for two or three years, but they are not interested. The things on the museum shelf over there are also changed. Be careful over there. This screen is the empress's favorite. Don't worry about it." I bumped it." Hei Yao was very busy in the room, wishing he could have three heads and six arms.

"This little thing deserves to be the person brought out by Qingmao, he is generally worried." Su Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at Hei Yao's erratic figure, and couldn't help laughing.

"If she's not busy, then I'll be busy." Mu Luoluo shook her cattail fan, keeping an eye on the flames in the small stove so as not to overcook the water.

"That makes sense." Su Qingwan tilted her head, and stretched out her hand to stroke the head of the little deer lying beside the couch, "After all, I still want to face my family, are you right?"

Mu Luoluo looked at Su Qingwan, smiled and shook her head.This deer is a cub donated by Su Qingwan in the Palace of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager gave it to him for Su Qingwan's birthday the year before last.

"The Empress is here!"

"How come Xiaoxiao has come at this hour." Su Qingwan hurriedly stood up from the couch, her feet slipped in a hurry, and she lost her center of gravity.

"Be careful!" Mu Luoluo hastily reached out to support her, and then tapped the tip of Su Qingwan's nose, "How old is she, and she's still so reckless."

"Luoluo thinks I'm old?" Su Qingwan blinked, quite aggrieved, "Don't forget, you are one year older than me."

"It's really unforgiving!" Mu Luoluo laughed, raising her hand to pinch Su Qingwan's mouth.

"I thought I could find some leisure here at Sister Su's place, but I didn't expect that Sister Su's palace is so lively." While speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao came in.

"Greetings to the Empress, Madam Wanan." The two of them saluted.

"Sister Su, don't need to be too polite." Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand to signal the maids and eunuchs behind her to step back, leaving only Zhen'er Zhu'er to wait on her, and then sat down on a bamboo chair beside her, "Sister, what are you doing in the palace?"

"The furnishings in the house haven't been changed for a long time, and it's boring to look at them for a long time. I was lazy and didn't change them at the beginning of spring. Today I have nothing to do, so I just toss about it. I really never want my mother to come." Su Qingwan laughed. "Why are you free to come to Shangqing Palace today?"

"Where is the free time? It's clear that I have stolen half a day's leisure." Mu Xiaoxiao looked rather melancholy, took the tea offered by Mu Luoluo and drank it all in one gulp. I came to ask for an order, today I was bored, and while His Majesty was discussing matters in the previous court, I closed the gate of Fengyi Palace and slipped out through the back door."

"How many people wish for your seat, but you are moaning here and again." Mu Luoluo couldn't help laughing, and casually fed the scattered tea powder to the little deer.

"They only see the beauty on the surface, but they never know the hardships on the inside." Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, then turned her head and told Zhu'er to bring a cushion.

"I heard that after a while, the Ning Queyan family will return to Ning. I wonder if this happened?" Su Qingwan reached out and picked a walnut, slowly peeling it.

"I'm worrying about this matter." Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, "Last year, Khan Abulu died suddenly, Wu Yimu, the son of the Ningqueyan family, came to power, and Wuyimu was young, so the Ningqueyan family took power. Ningqueyan Wuyimu Khan wrote a letter asking for His Majesty's permission. Ning Queyan is the eldest princess in name, and His Majesty's own daughter. Naturally, there is no reason not to let her come back. In the past few days, the Inner Court Secretary, There is still a Ministry of Rites in Shangyi’s bedroom, and after asking for instructions one after another, Fengyi Palace is even more lively than the market for a while.”

"What is there to worry about? Guiyan Palace was originally prepared for Princess Guining, and all the items in it are in accordance with the etiquette and regulations, and it's just a matter of asking someone to clean it." Su Qingwan tossed and tossed for a long time before peeling the walnuts in her hands. After half a year, I don’t know when I will be able to peel off the whole walnut. "Even though she is the mother of Khan, Turkic is a minister of our court after all, and the lady of the country can't treat her too much."

"I guess, the problem is not how to treat them politely?" Mu Luoshi couldn't see it now, so she reached out and took a walnut, then picked up the jade hammer, and peeled off a whole walnut kernel three times, five times and two times, hello To Su Qingwan's mouth.

Su Qingwan smiled slightly, and slightly lowered her head to grab the walnut kernels from Mu Luoluo's fingertips, while her hands continued to peel the walnuts she hadn't finished peeling yet.

"The elder sister is really smart." Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the plate of walnuts, pursed her lips, and couldn't help but reached out to take a "Ning Queyan's meaning is that she grew up in the palace and her mother passed away , I really don’t want to go back to the sad place of the palace, so I want to return to peace in the Xinggong. The Xinggong Palace is preparing for the summer summer vacation, and I didn’t prepare for the return of the Yan family. I was in a panic for a while, and things were scattered There are a lot of people coming to ask for instructions. The Ministry of Rites also said that Ning Queyan is the mother of the Khan, but Gui Ning went to the palace, which is not proper. Your Majesty has been troubled by the harassment of the Nanman in recent days, and has given full authority over the matter. For me, it was really troublesome to sleep and eat."

Su Qingwan looked at Mu Xiaoxiao pouring beans like beans, spit out all the complaints, and couldn't help but smile: "Look at how these slaves have forced the queen, they really deserve to be punished."

"By the way, the Palace is still preparing for His Majesty's trip to the south, and it is also very busy. A few days ago, Concubine Ban Chen set off for the Palace to advocate the overall situation. When she arrives, I may be able to relax. Some." The walnuts in Mu Xiaoxiao's hand were peeled to pieces, so she could only stuff them into her mouth in one go.

"Going south?" Su Qingwan frowned, she didn't know anything about how lazy she was recently.

"On the second day of July, Your Majesty will go south for inspection, accompanied by Concubine Anxian and Concubine Ban Chen." Mu Luoluo answered casually.

"Yes, speaking of Concubine An Xian, this time Your Majesty is going south, Concubine An Xian will take this opportunity to return to peace." Mu Xiaoxiao frowned even deeper at Mu Luoluo's reminder. The identity of the prince's biological mother is Gui Ning, and the etiquette is even different."

"Since you want to go south, will His Majesty go to the palace to escape the summer heat in June?" Mu Luoluo reached out again, took a few walnuts and came back to continue peeling.

"Of course I want to go, stay in the palace for half a month, and go directly to Hangzhou by water." Mu Xiaoxiao said.

"So it sounds like the Ministry of Rites and the Bureau of Shangyi are also very busy right now?" The walnut in Su Qingwan's hand finally peeled out. The last time I paid tribute, it was really time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"Last time, those were not provided by the Western Regions Protectorate. The share from the Shangqing Palace was handed over by Princess Li privately." Mu Luoluo was very satisfied eating the walnuts peeled by Su Qingwan. No wonder Su Qingwan was so persistent, It was originally stripped for myself.

"Princess Li." Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Su Mu's affection for each other, and when she heard Mu Luoluo mentioned Princess Li, she couldn't help sighing again, "Prince Li also handed over the note, saying that he missed the Empress Dowager and was planning to return to Beijing in June. "

"Concubine Li doesn't need to be formal, she has never cared about these things, if she can get together in the palace, it may be more comfortable for her." Su Qingwan comforted.

"This matter has been rushed together one by one. No wonder the Ministry of Rites and the Bureau of Shangyi are so eager to ask for an order." Su Qingwan was stunned. no.

"Who says it's not, and I don't know what kind of luck this year will be." Mu Xiaoxiao broke the walnut shell in her hand rather irritatedly, her small face was full of tiredness.

"Okay, this frown is like a little old lady." Mu Luoluo couldn't help stretching out her hand, smoothing Mu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows. It is also a matter of share."

"Your elder sister is right. Just like her, since she married into my Su family, she not only took care of the affairs of the Qing palace, but also wanted to take over the Su family's shop in Beijing. It was really hard work." Su Qingwan blinked playfully. , stuck out his tongue towards Mu Luoluo.

"Sister Su has really raised her up very well these years. Not only does her complexion become much more rosy, but her tongue is also much sharper. It can be seen that she is being held in the palm of the elder sister's hand and doted on." Mu Xiaoxiao teased.

"The two of you are talking, why bother to take me with you." Mu Luoluo raised her hand, and lightly tapped one of her foreheads, "Since you haven't had a good rest these few days, why don't you go into the room and take a nap? Ruan Jieyu gave me a new tranquilizer a few days ago." Xianglai, I smell very similar to water, I think you will like it."

"Sister Xie." Mu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, Xu Shi was relaxed when chatting with Su Mu, but at this moment she actually felt a little sleepy.

"It's really the elder sister who loves her sister." Su Qingwan smiled and watched Mu Xiaoxiao cover her face and yawn, then ordered Hei Yao to accompany the queen into the house and help her rest.

After Mu Xiaoxiao entered the room, Mu Luoluo got up and sat down beside Su Qingwan, and fed Su Qingwan the walnuts she peeled just now: "Do you think that all this is too coincidental?"

"Coincidence?" Su Qingwan blinked, concentrating on thinking carefully, "Coincidence is a true coincidence, but there is no relationship between these two, and there is no deliberate reason for it."

"Suspicious means that it has nothing to do with it." Mu Luoluo shook her head, "I always feel like I missed something."

"Okay, don't be too sensitive." Su Qingwan stretched out her hand to take Mu Luoluo's hand, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly, "Nowadays, there are grown-up princes under the empress's virtuous concubine's knees. It is an insurmountable gap in all dynasties. I am quiet under my knees, and I have always had a false name. Even if there is a bloody storm outside, I will not disturb the Shangqing Palace in the slightest. Put my heart back in my stomach, and you and I will live in peace."

"It's best like this." Mu Luoluo smiled comfortably, and leaned over to touch noses with Su Qingwan, "What do you want for lunch? I'll order someone to prepare it."

"That's all for the side. The perch caught my fancy a few days ago." Su Qingwan narrowed her eyes slightly, her lilac tongue couldn't help licking her lips, just like a little fox.

"Okay." Mu Luoluo scratched the bridge of Su Qingwan's nose, smiling indulgently.

The breeze blows through the treetops, the green leaves rustle, and there are occasional cicadas in the distance. Now that it is summer, everything seems to be busy.
