Tangled

"This summer this year, it's really hot enough. People can't sit still before they fall into the ambush, and they don't know what to do after they fall into the ambush." ​​Mu Luoluo lay on the bamboo chair, closed her eyes and rested, the round fan in her hand didn't stop.

"Your Majesty left and right is going south and will only return in September. We can stay in the palace for a while longer." Su Qingwan lay on the couch, her face was covered with silk to shade her.

"Su Niangniang!" Princess Hehua's cheerful voice sounded from outside the courtyard door, Su Qingwan stood up in response, and a lotus fell from her abdomen.

"When did you let it go?" Su Qingwan picked up the lotus flower, put it to her nose and sniffed it, the fragrance was pleasant.

"While you were in a daze." As soon as Mu Luoluo finished speaking, Princess Hehua ran in, holding several hibiscus branches in her hand.

"Su Niangniang is well, aunt is well." He saluted Princess Hua and sat down beside Su Qingwan. Pick these and give them to Empress Su!"

"Thank you, Hehua, Madam Su likes it very much." Su Qingwan took the hibiscus flower, lowered her head and rubbed her nose with Hehua, then took out the handkerchief from her bosom, and wiped the sweat on her forehead, "Look at you, After running the sweat on this side, I don’t feel too hot to panic.”

Mu Luoluo watched from the side, smiling all over her face. As she grew older, Su Qingwan's love for children continued unabated.

"At her age, it's time to be naughty. It's hot now. She goes out to play wildly every day, and her clothes are soaked in less than half a day. The maids and eunuchs around her can't wait to change shifts every half an hour and go out with her for a while. One trip, most of my life is gone." Ruan Jieyu, who was left behind all the way, arrived late.

"It's not that my sister spoils He Hua so wantonly." Su Qingwan said as she pinched a hibiscus and stuck it in He Hua's hair bun. "But if my sister doesn't restrain her more, I'm afraid she will become more naughty in the future."

Mu Luoluo looked at He Hua, and the shadow of Concubine Zhang De appeared more and more in the eyes of the princess who was growing day by day, but her temperament was completely opposite. I don't know if it was because she was raised under Ruan Jieyu's lap, or Concubine Zhang De had the same temper when she was young.

"Why bother to come, if she is happy, she will look good in any way." Ruan Jieyu sat down on a bamboo chair beside her, took a sip of the tea Hei Yao brought over, "When she is old enough, find an ordinary family and marry her." , it’s all right to live this life in peace, and it’s okay to be naughty.”

"Like Sister Zhou and Princess Lun?" Su Qingwan said, and when she saw He Huachao waving, she leaned over slightly.

"It's the best to be as lucky as Princess Helun." Ruan Jieyu smiled and watched Hehua put another hibiscus on Su Qingwan's hair. A high position, but after all, a clean family background, so the son-in-law is also a gentle and good-looking talent, he is a rare noble son-in-law, and it is not easy to find such a good son-in-law for He Hua."

"Being concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine Nine Springs can be regarded as having good eyesight if she is able to plan with all her heart." Mu Luoluo said as she signaled Hu Po to present the Sushan that she had just brought to Princess Hehua.

"Why don't I have it?" Su Qingwan looked at He Hua happily, and looked at Mu Luoluo with some dissatisfaction.

"You ate it when you got up early. You are weak, so it's not good to eat too much." Mu Luoluo refused without hesitation, without any room for change.

Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo quite sadly, curled her lips helplessly, and then stared at Sushan in Hehua's hand.

"I didn't expect my mother to still have such a childlike heart." Ruan Jieyu couldn't help hiding her face and smiling.

Seeing Su Qingwan's pitiful appearance, Mu Luoluo finally couldn't bear it, so she turned around and ordered Hu Po to bring more.Su Qingwan looked at it from the corner of her eye, feeling somewhat complacent.

"What's the sound?" Ruan Jieyu was about to tell He Hua Mo to be greedy when she suddenly frowned.

Mu Luoluo tilted her ears and listened intently, her pupils shrank sharply in an instant.

"Tiger! Come on! Escort!" Mu Luoluo screamed, and the moment she spoke, she pulled Su Qingwan behind her. At the same time, Ruan Jieyu also hugged He Hua who was running towards her.

I saw a huge white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes jumping down from the wall, it was nine feet long, with fierce eyes, roaring in a low voice, approaching the four of them slowly.

"In the imperial palace, how could there be a tiger haunting it!" After a moment of panic, Su Qingwan began to have doubts, but upon closer inspection, there was no shadow of the tiger.

"Could it be a ghost?" Ruan Jieyu was slightly relieved seeing that it wasn't a real tiger.

"Under the blue sky and broad daylight, how dare a wild ghost do anything wrong." Mu Luoluo shook her head, staring intently at the tiger slowly approaching.

"Aww!" The white tiger roared, jumped up, and rushed straight to Mu Luoluo's face.

Mu Luoluo subconsciously raised her hand to resist, but never thought that the tiger would turn into a white cat the moment it pounced towards it, and pounced straight into Mu Luoluo's arms.

"This..." Su Qingwan was dumbfounded, she was also confused when she saw Mu Luoluo holding the cat in her arms.

"Little cat!" After all, the child is so courageous, He Hua saw that it was a cat, but forgot that he was afraid just now, and stretched out his hand to hug it.

Before Mu Luoluo could react, the white cat jumped out of her embrace and rushed towards Princess Hehua.

Ruan Jieyu was afraid that the cat's sharp claws would hurt Princess Hehua's face, so she rushed to grab it, but she didn't want the white cat to suddenly turn into a group of butterflies, fluttering around, and even bolder to stop on the ground. Ruan Jieyu's fingertips.

The three of them were completely dumbfounded now, looking at the butterflies flying around them, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Applause sounded in the distance, and these little things turned into petals in an instant, falling with the wind, which was too beautiful to behold.

Several people looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and saw Concubine Li standing there, followed by a woman dressed in Western Regions.

"Is this meeting ceremony, Concubine Shu, still happy?" Princess Li smiled, approached and saluted, still clasping fists.

"Of course I'm happy to see you, but seeing that tiger, I can only feel palpitations. How can I say it with joy." Su Qingwan also blessed herself slightly, and then motioned the little maid to add an extra bamboo chair, "Have you seen the Queen Mother?"

"It's just coming back from Shoukang Palace." Concubine Li lovingly touched He Hua's head, "Do you like the play just now?"

"I like it!" He Hua smiled sweetly, and put his arms around Princess Li's waist.

"The princess likes children very much." Ruan Jieyu sat down, poured tea from the pot, and handed it to Princess Li.

"I would like to ask, what kind of magical technique is this?" Mu Luoluo couldn't help asking.

"It's not a magical technique, it's just a kind of illusion from the Western Regions." Princess Li said as she turned her head and glanced at the woman from the Western Regions. A thrush was handed to He Hua.

"It's really amazing." Su Qingwan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, then she turned her eyes and blinked at Princess Li, who was first taken aback, then smiled and nodded slightly.

Mu Luoluo went to order Hei Yao to prepare food, but she never saw Su Qingwan's eye contact with Princess Li.

"If your empress likes it, you can keep her by your side. The palace is empty and quiet, and it's good to relieve boredom on weekdays." Princess Li raised her hand, and the woman from the Western Regions understood, and walked behind Su Qingwan with her head down.

"The princess has cut her love." Su Qingwan took a sip of tea, "When will the princess return from this trip?"

"When your Majesty goes south, you should set off with the prince." Princess Li replied.

"Prince Li is back this time too?" Su Qingwan frowned upon hearing this, and raised her eyes to look at Mu Luoluo, who was puzzled and obviously unexpected.

"Recently, the Western Regions are not very peaceful. The prince took this opportunity to return to Beijing." After Princess Li finished speaking, she glanced at Su Qingwan meaningfully.

"Forget it, I wait for the women in the harem to comment on the matter of the previous court." Su Qingwan glanced at Ruan Jieyu, who was coaxing He Hua, and did not pay attention to the conversation between the two, "The last time I was killed, someone With ulterior motives and never having fun, when we get to the palace, you and my sisters must have some fun."

"Naturally." Princess Li smiled, and served tea in a respectful respect.

·

"The bumpy road is really tiring." Su Qingwan got off the carriage, stretched her muscles and bones, and let out a long breath of relief.

"The turbulence is secondary, the sweltering heat is unbearable." Mu Luoluo also fell to the ground, the round fan in her hand never stopped from beginning to end.

"I'm afraid something big will happen if the weather is so abnormal." Su Qingwan turned her head and saw Mu Luoluo rolling up her sleeves in disregard of etiquette, so she couldn't help laughing out loud, "Why is this so? The palace is located in Tanzhou, which is already much cooler than the capital. "

"Qing Wan's relegation to the celestial being comes down to earth, and she brings a sense of coolness. Naturally, ordinary people like us cannot compare with it." Mu Luoluo laughed.

"Okay, people in the palace have been ordered to be well-prepared, and Mrs. Zhu has also selected the best ones for you, so you won't be overwhelmed." Su Qingwan took Mu Luoluo's arm and led her forward.

"I heard that Ning Queyan's party has arrived at the palace today, and the family banquet tomorrow night will cleanse the dust for them." Mu Luoluo turned the round fan slightly, and fanned it for Su Qingwan.

"The Turkic mission arrived at the palace yesterday, and the crown prince came out of the city to meet him. I think he is discussing matters with His Majesty right now." Su Qingwan said casually.

"Speaking of the prince, there is one thing I don't understand." Mu Luoluo touched Su Qingwan with her forearm, and motioned her to turn around and walk along the tree-lined path beside her. Why are the four princes and even the seventh prince who is only three years old here?"

"As you said just now, except for His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, they are all adult princes under His Majesty's knees. Now His Majesty is at the age of knowing his destiny. This kind of scene is really normal." Su Qingwan was very indifferent to this matter. Steady, only ascension to the throne is the last word."

"The seventh prince?" Mu Luoluo frowned. The Mu family has been in business for generations, and they don't care who is sitting on the throne, and they are naturally even more confused about the harem seizure.

"Actually, I am also very puzzled about this question. If it is said that Concubine Chen is eager to love her son and refuses to entrust her young Highness to others to take care of, then Princess Heya can't justify it." Su Qingwan straightened her temples and was fanned by Mu Luoluo. With her flying hair, she took the round fan from her hand and fanned her by herself, "And I always feel that Princess Li's visit to Beijing this time is not just about missing the empress dowager's reinstatement."

Just as Mu Luoluo was about to say something, suddenly her eyes froze, she sent Su Qingwan's arm away, and quickly put down her rolled-up sleeves.
