"Your Majesty, the two elder sisters, Pearl and Pearl, are here." Hei Yao opened the curtain and invited them into the room.

"Sit down, there is no need to be formal." Su Qingwan stopped writing, and looked at the two with slightly swollen eyes, "I heard that His Majesty has allowed the servants of Fengyi Palace to choose whether to stay or not. What do you two plan?"

"Your maidservant is here for this purpose." Zhen'er forced a smile, "Servant maidservant is thinking, there is Hei Yao serving in the Shangqing Palace, so it is inappropriate for my two sisters to come again, and there is no place for me to wait for other empresses." Therefore, I came here to bid farewell to the two young ladies and prepare to leave the palace."

"Go back to your hometown in Suzhou, your contract of prostitution is still in Mu's house, to take care of the children left by Xiaoxiao." Mu Luoluo turned over a page of Buddhist scriptures in front of her before stopping writing.

"The maidservant has exactly this intention." Zhu'er replied, after all, she had served Mu Luoluo for many years, followed her everywhere, and she probably had guesses about Mu Luoluo's plan.

"Alright, if you go back to your hometown, if there is a wishful gentleman, you can take the deed of sale back and marry each other." Su Qingwan said while ordering Hei Yao to get some scraps of silver. "These rights are yours on the way. Panxian, I know that you each have your own wealth, so keep it as a dowry."

"Thank you miss." Zhen'er stood up and saluted.

"After leaving the palace, first go to Qingmao's house to stay for a few days, and then leave the child separately, don't let anyone stare at you." Mu Luoluo said, her eyes met Zhu'er, she nodded slightly, the latter understood, and her eyes flickered Have a touch of perseverance.

"Go back and pack up your things." Su Qingwan sighed softly, looking at the two girls with pity. They have grown up together since they were young. Now that they are separated, they don't know whether they will meet again in this life.

"Your servant will leave." Zhu'er stood up and reluctantly left with Zhen'er.

"Miss." When Zhen'er walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and looked back, "Amber, pay more attention, the servant girl looks at her...something is wrong."

"I see." Su Qingwan nodded slightly, watched the two of them leave, then turned to look at Mu Luoluo, "Do you think there is anything unusual about Amber?"

"In the past few days, I didn't invite her to serve you, so I didn't realize it." Mu Luoluo shook her head, changed a new piece of rice paper, smoothed it with a paperweight, and then picked up a black stone to grind it "But Zhen'er has always been very accurate at seeing people , since she said to pay more attention, then just take precautions."

Su Qingwan nodded, turned over a page of the Buddhist scriptures under her hand, dipped in the ink with Mu Luoluo, and then picked up the pen.Everything outside the window turns green, which is already a good scene of spring.

"Su Niangniang!" Princess He Hua's voice sounded from behind, Su Qingwan stopped and turned around, just in time to rush towards He Hua.

"Concubine Shu." Not far behind, Ruan Jieyu and Concubine Ban Chen walked together.

"Sister Ruan, Sister Concubine Chen." When the two of them approached, the three greeted each other.

"Seeing that Concubine Shu is also heading in the direction of the Fahua Palace, I think it's time to pay homage to Empress Sheng Xiaoya during the Qingming Festival?" Concubine Ban Chen said, "The two of us have also copied some Buddhist scriptures these days. With the empress?"

"That's right, these few days I have been silently keeping filial piety for Empress Sheng Xiaoya, and I have copied some Buddhist scriptures. After all, we are sisters. I feel better if I have to come and give them away." Su Qingwan patted He Hua's head lovingly, and held her hand She walked forward together.

"Empress Sheng Xiaoya has passed away for more than a month, and His Majesty has been depressed. He seldom invites people to sleep with him, and he goes to sit in Fengyi Palace from time to time." Ruan Jieyu said casually, "Concubine Xian often goes to give a few words of advice. Please take care of your majesty's body. There is no movement at Yanqing Palace."

"Concubine Xian is in a hurry this time." Concubine Ban Chen sneered, "If she is out of the filial period, she is thinking of the country if she goes to persuade, and if she persuades it too early, she will put His Majesty in an unrighteous place regardless of the relationship between husband and wife. It can be seen from the willow leaf ring bestowed by His Majesty today."

"During the Ching Ming Festival, the willow leaf rings that His Majesty bestowed on his confidantes should have happened half an hour ago?" Ruan Jieyu gave Concubine Ban Chen a meaningful look.

In the first half of the sentence, Su Qingwan knew it well. As long as there were spies from the Yun family, Concubine Ban Chen would already know it when Liu Yehuan left the palace. As for the second half of the sentence, Su Qingwan and Mu Luoluo looked at each other. , I was confused for a few times, and after careful calculation, it seems that Ban Lianming cares about An Yiran as if it is not a day or two.

"The party struggle has started, so you should always plan for your own future." Concubine Ban Chen had no intention of hiding it at all, and looked at Ruan Jieyu with a candid smile.

"Sister, did you choose Concubine Song?" Ruan Jieyu wondered, Concubine Ban Chen had adopted her prince to Prince Li, why did she suddenly participate in the party struggle again?

"Of course not." Concubine Ban Chen shook her head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Palace of Fahua is just ahead." Mu Luoluo said suddenly, and blocked Ruan Jieyu's words before she could speak.

The three of them raised their heads and saw Concubine An Xian coming out of the Fahua Hall with a sullen expression on her face, which was enough to prove that what Concubine Ban Chen said about Liu Yehuan was true.

"I have seen Concubine Xian." The three suppressed what they said just now, and saluted Concubine An Xian.

Concubine An Xian didn't speak, but just returned to the courteous ceremony.When she was wrong, Mu Luoluo didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt that Concubine An Xian's glance at her was very meaningful.

"Is Miss An in a bad mood? He Hua doesn't talk to her." Princess He Hua raised her head and asked Su Qingwan timidly.

"Your Madam An has been worrying about your fourth brother's affairs recently, and we can't help you. It's better not to bother her." Su Qingwan smiled slightly, and comforted her softly, "Let's pay homage to the Empress Empress."

Stepping into Fahua Hall, I happened to see Chao Lu's red eyes coming out, and saw the three of them hastily retreated to the side.

Mu Luoluo beside her snorted coldly, Su Qingwan shook her head helplessly, reached out and touched her fingertips lightly.

This child is also pitiful now, Su Qingwan glanced at Chao Lu with a complicated expression, the Mu Shuang incident affected her, and she, who was already unloved, plummeted, just like being thrown into the cold palace, most of the concubines in the palace hated her thin Ma's identity is unwilling to make friends with him, and his life is lonely and desolate.

There is already a thick layer of paper ashes in the brazier in the hall. It seems that there are quite a lot of people who came to worship today.

Concubine Ban Chen and Ruan Jieyu finished burning the copied Buddhist scriptures, then knelt for a while and then left. After all, it was somewhat inconvenient for them to be here.After the two left, Mu Luoluo knelt down on the futon.

"That child, named Mu Suchen, has already been sent back to his hometown in Suzhou. You can rest assured that he will be brought up by Aunt Yin." Mu Luoluo took out a stack of paper money and put it in the brazier, and said softly.

"I have also written a letter to my mother, asking her to pay more attention. Even if this child is a child of the Musu family, he will grow up safely as you wish." Su Qingwan put her hands together in front of her chest, and said softly road.

The candles in the hall danced slightly, and the low voice of the monks chanting Buddha's name echoed in the hall, blocking the calculations and fights outside the wall.

When the two came out, the sun was just right and the breeze was blowing. It was already March in Yangchun, and everything was revived, full of vitality, and everywhere was thriving.

"Let's go for a walk in the imperial garden." Su Qingwan took a deep breath of relief, and looked at Mu Luoluo with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Luoluo also smiled lightly. This smile seemed to clear up after several days of continuous rain. Su Qingwan knew that Luoluo had finally let go of Xiaoxiao's death. .

"I haven't come here for a long time, and I don't know if the swing is still strong." Su Qingwan said as she carefully sat down on the swing. After confirming that it was safe, she felt relieved.

"I see you, it's not that you are afraid that the swing will not be strong, but that you will gain weight in winter." Mu Luoluo came slowly behind, joking with a smile.

"I hate it!" Su Qingwan yelled at Mu Luoluo pretending to be annoyed, "It's clear that a few days ago, they said that I was plump and better-looking, but today they dislike me again. They are all lies to lie to me."

"No way, everything I said is the truth from the bottom of my heart." Mu Luoluo was about to walk over, but she didn't want Su Qingwan to kick her feet, and the swing flew up.

Mu Luoluo smiled helplessly and shook her head, shaded the sun with one hand, looked up to see Su Qingwan's skirt fluttering in the sunlight, her flowery smile was as fresh as a child.

"Be more careful." Mu Luoluo exhorted worriedly, watching Su Qingwan fly higher and higher, the corners of her mouth could not restrain her upward movement.

Hei Yao saw that there was no need to wait for him, so he simply went to the side and chopped some willow branches, sat on the ground, picked out the bright green sticks, and unscrewed the leather tube to make a willow flute for playing.

"Today, the imperial garden is really lively." Mu Luoluo also sat down beside Hei Yao, reached out and took the old branches she had discarded aside, and weaved slowly, keeping her eyes on Su Qingwan who was flying among the branches. .

"This month, the little maids are all overwhelmed." Hei Yao answered with a smile, "When we were leaving, the servants were watching those little guys from the Shangqing Palace tug of war in Nannuan Xiaozhu."

"It's as if you're so old." Mu Luoluo couldn't help but raised her hand and flicked Hei Yao's forehead gently.

"Miss Mu is always molesting little girls. It seems that she doesn't care about being a wife." Su Qingwan who didn't know when she got off the swing embraced Mu Luoluo from behind, resting her chin on her neck, and She pressed her cheek to her cheek and whispered in her ear.

"I was wronged." Mu Luoluo smiled and turned her head, meeting Su Qingwan's eyes, "I am clearly molesting and advising concubine Shu, how can I become a molesting little girl? Do you think I am right? Obsidian?"

"Niangniang and aunt are two immortals who are fighting, so don't involve a servant, a mortal." Hei Yao waved his hands repeatedly, expressing that he couldn't afford to provoke him.

"This little thing is no more fun than Qingyuan." Su Qingwan smiled, and then looked down at the half-made willow leaf ring in Mu Luoluo's hand. "What's the fun of weaving wicker alone? It's more interesting than adding some flowers."

"Slaves go pick it." Hei Yao immediately got up from the ground, put the willow flute he had just made into his mouth, and ran away bouncing around while blowing a cheerful tune.

"How old is this child?" Su Qingwan let go of Mu Luoluo, and then sat down beside her, looking at Hei Yao's cheerful back, her mood also jumped up.

"After all, I'm seventeen or eighteen years old." Mu Luoluo raised her eyes and glanced at Hei Yao, then shook her head with a smile, "In another seven or eight years, it will be the age to be released from the palace."

"Huber is not young anymore." Su Qingwan took a willow leaf. She vaguely remembered that her brother taught her how to play music with willow leaves when she was a child.

"Send someone to watch her for the past few days. If there is something really wrong, just find an excuse to send it out." Mu Luoluo said casually, and Zhen'er's words finally made the two of them have to guard against it.

"Tell me, since when did Ban Lianming pay attention to An Yiran?" Su Qingwan thought hard for a while, but she couldn't remember how her elder brother taught her to use willow leaves as a whistle, so she had to give up.
