Tangled

"What's going on in the past few days? Why do you always faintly hear someone singing outside?" Su Qingwan was interrupted by the intermittent sound outside for the third time, she put down her hair helplessly, and asked Hei Yao who was waiting on the side.

"Back to your empress, it's Hui Yunu, who has just entered the palace, singing." Hei Yao replied.

"Hui Yu Nu?" Su Qingwan frowned, "There was no draft this year, so why would a newcomer enter the palace?"

"It's the Yangzhou skinny horse brought back by His Majesty's Southern Tour, and there's another girl named Minyu." Chamu Luoluo opened the curtain and came in, carrying freshly prepared food.

"Yangzhou skinny horse?" Su Qingwan was taken aback. "No wonder Concubine Ban Chen looked so ugly when she came back that day. I only thought she was exhausted, so that's why."

"It's not just Concubine Ban Chen who is displeased. I'm afraid only Concubine Shu can deal with it calmly." Mu Luoluo smiled and sat down beside Su Qingwan. "This is a snack sent by Jin Jieyu. It’s made by a new chef brought back from Yangzhou, try to see if it suits your taste.”

"I just learned today that His Majesty has brought two newcomers back, so naturally I took it calmly." Su Qingwan looked at the snacks on the plate, which looked like snacks from her hometown, and she had an appetite for a while. The displeasure is because I can't accept that I am serving a husband with prostitutes, and I am different from them, so why bother myself."

"Smart teeth." Mu Luoluo raised her hand to scrape the bridge of Su Qingwan's nose, and took half of the pastry she handed over to her. It can be regarded as graceful and graceful, with a bit of beauty."

"Let me put it this way, I am quite interested in these two skinny horses." Su Qingwan looked at the half-transcribed Buddhist scriptures under her hand, and now her heart is restless. It would be a kind of blasphemy to continue copying, so she simply put it aside "You just Said she can sing? What song is she singing?"

"Back to the empress, it's Huangmei Diao. These days, Hui Yu Nu has been practicing in the courtyard every day, which has disturbed the ladies around her quite dissatisfied. Since His Majesty is also in her courtyard, there is no other way." Hei Yao replied.

"Your Majesty has been in her yard every day these days?" Su Qingwan felt that she hadn't gone out for just a few days, but hearing the news today, she felt as if she had been banned for more than a month.

"Of course not. It's just that His Majesty praised her, so it's not easy for the empress of the other palace to speak again. The left and right don't bother you and the empress dowager too much, so the emperor just turned a blind eye." Mu Luoluo smiled. Said, "If I stay in her room every day, not to mention the harem, I'm afraid that even the former court will have to pay for it."

"That makes sense." Su Qingwan got up and returned the Buddhist scriptures to the bookshelf, picked up the wolf hair and scribbled on the paper at will, "There are also examples of emperors in all dynasties going south, and there are also examples of summoning skinny horses to accompany them, but no emperor has ever brought them back. Sending him to a nunnery on the grounds that he can’t serve others after serving the emperor, where he will be enshrined in an ancient Buddha for a lifetime. His Majesty’s behavior is a bit too absurd.”

"My little ancestor, you have to be careful." Mu Luoluo couldn't help but slap Su Qingwan on the forearm lightly.

Su Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Luoluo, then stuck out her tongue playfully: "After talking for a while, I still don't know the names of these two younger sisters?"

"Yangzhou skinny horse, body like duckweed, rootless and no support, how come it is called taboo." Mu Luoluo sighed, she had seen a skinny horse raised by a family, it looked like a well-clothed horse, but in fact it was extremely desolate.

"That should have a name." Su Qingwan blinked. She only heard people say that some people would buy the daughters of poor families to take care of them. They would teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Sell ​​to rich people as concubines, or sell into brothels as top cards.

"Hui Yunu calls Mushuang, and Min Yu calls Morning Dew." Hei Yao replied.

"Morning dew and evening frost." Su Qingwan read it again in a low voice, looking down at the graffiti under her hands, "Although the morning dew is beautiful, it is fleeting; the evening frost is long, cold and hard to touch. The names of these two people are a bit sad .”

"It's just a title, why bother." Mu Luoluo leaned closer to Su Qingwan, put her arms around her waist, and put her chin in the hollow of her neck, looking at her scribbles, "What are you doing?" What are you doing? Waste of paper and ink?"

"How come!" Su Qingwan tilted her head, lightly touched Mu Luoluo's head, and said angrily, "When I finish painting, you will know what I am doing."

Mu Luoluo raised her eyebrows, she really couldn't see that Su Qingwan was painting now, so she could only wait patiently.

"By the way, how about the severe drought in Minzhou?" Su Qingwan asked casually.

"After the prince arrived in Minzhou, he opened a warehouse to release food. Although there were refugee riots, thanks to the help of King Li, it was calmed down. The first few people who spread rumors were also arrested. These people are considered to have a backbone , no matter how much you torture, if you insist on not revealing the person behind it, then nothing will happen." Mu Luoluo had nothing to do, and played with a strand of Su Qingwan's hair.

"Leave it alone?" Su Qingwan paused, glanced sideways at Mu Luoluo, and chuckled, "You underestimate Song Yi too much. According to her character, she will definitely not let it go, but His Majesty's attitude clearly shows that If she doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, she has no choice but to let it go and investigate in secret."

"You know a lot about her?" Mu Luoluo stared at Su Qingwan meaningfully.

"I'm wronged." Su Qingwan called Qu hastily. "What kind of character she is, that's Sima Zhao's heart. I don't think An Yiran will think that she will let go of this matter. Now she is going to fight in secret."

"Why do you think that An Yiran did this?" Mu Luoluo kissed Su Qingwan's ear comfortingly, indicating that she was joking.

"If it wasn't the prince who was assassinated, then this matter is open to discussion, but the prince was the one who was assassinated, and the one who was slandered was also the prince. The third prince who walked with him was not only unscathed, but also escaped unscathed. Isn't that obvious enough? It's so obvious that people don't dare to doubt An Yiran." Su Qingwan continued the painting under her hand, and said casually, "Actually, from the day your majesty brought the fourth prince back from the palace and put her under An Yiran's lap to raise her, she Now that His Majesty is getting old, it is not surprising that the wings of the prince and the four princes are gradually full."

Mu Luoluo could only nod her head when she heard the words. A merchant's daughter can settle accounts, but she really doesn't know anything about seizing power.

"Okay, look, what is this?" Su Qingwan put down her pen, and smiled as she picked up the rice paper to show Mu Luoluo.

Mu Luoluo tilted her head and looked at it for a while. The answer was ready to come out, but it was stuck in her mouth, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"What?" Su Qingwan deliberately leaned in front of Mu Luoluo, looking at her gradually reddened ears, quite proud.

"You." Mu Luoluo shook her head helplessly, put her arms around Su Qingwan's neck, and threw her down on the step.

Seeing this situation, Hei Yao hurriedly turned around, backed away from the affectionate couple, and stood on the porch, looking at the clouds in the sky, it was a cool autumn again.

·

"Although the summer heat is unbearable this summer, this autumn is considered cool and cool. Since the beginning of autumn, my body has become much dryer." Su Qingwan sat on the swing and let out a long sigh of relief.

"In a few days, it will be cold again." Mu Luoluo couldn't help laughing and said, "At that time, you should stay in the warm pavilion again."

"That's why I'm going out for a walk these few days." Su Qingwan smiled, not caring about Mu Luoluo's joke at all, "The golden osmanthus is in full bloom in the courtyard these few days, how about going back to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the afternoon?"

"Okay." Mu Luoluo lay on Su Qingwan's shoulder, closed her eyes, and gently sniffed the fragrance in her hair.

"I heard that Jin Xiaoxiao is pregnant this time, and she's very sick. It's been four months, but she still doesn't see any meat or greasy food. The imperial dining room is in trouble." Su Qingwan leaned back slightly, whispering softly, only the two of them At that time, no one could bear to break the silence.

"Well, the Tai Hospital is thinking of something." Mu Luoluo responded casually.

Su Qingwan also closed her eyes, smiled and rubbed against Mu Luoluo's neck, and just leaned together like this, the autumn wind was refreshing, and the years were peaceful.

"Why does she look down on us? What about the skinny horse? She is also a child of an innocent family. She was also taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. How is she inferior to those of their big family? She thinks she is noble."

"Sister, you can stop saying a few words, she is a concubine, we can't afford to provoke her."

"So what about concubines, what about imperial daughters, it's just that the family is better than us, so what's there to be proud of."

"I always feel that I don't seem to be suitable for leisure in the imperial garden." Su Qingwan opened her eyes leisurely, and sighed helplessly.

"Why don't we go further in the future." Mu Luoluo couldn't help laughing.

"Hei Yao, don't say anything, they can't see us." Su Qingwan watched Hei Yao turn out from the shade of the tree, intending to scold him, and hurriedly stopped her, "It's rare that there are newcomers in the palace, let them chat, I'll just listen listen."

"Yes." Hei Yao responded, and retreated silently.

"Life is like this, and there is no other way."

"But so what, now they are all serving the emperor, the empress is on top, everyone is just a concubine, who is more noble than the other."

"You can't confuse this, sister, if people listen to it, it will be a serious crime of beheading!"

"The older one is Chaoshuang." Mu Luoluo pushed aside the leaves slightly, looked through the gap, and said softly to Su Qingwan.

"Mu Shuang's temperament, how can you be familiar with it?" Su Qingwan leaned next to Mu Luoluo, and the two squeezed together to peep.

"Shu's?" Mu Luoluo said casually.

"That's right." Su Qingwan nodded, "Mu Shuang is a beauty, but her temperament is too flamboyant. Their identities are not tolerated in the palace. If they don't know how to restrain themselves, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"That Chaolu is sensible, if she can persuade her, it's probably okay." Mu Luoluo turned her head inadvertently, and seeing a dead leaf on Su Qingwan's hair, she couldn't help laughing.

"Who's there!" Mu Shuang suddenly turned her head and scolded.

"It's all your fault." Su Qingwan pushed Mu Luoluo, and gave her a rather easy look.

The author has something to say:

I originally planned to talk about it in a few more chapters, but some little angels have already asked, so let’s talk about it in advance:

There are still about ten more chapters to come to an end, so the next abuse point may be more intensive, but Chiyu promises to be HE! HE! ! ! (The author with a strong desire to survive issued a cry with a strong desire to survive)

Hope you little angels don’t abandon me_(:з」∠)_
