"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has an invite, please move to Chang'an Palace. The little eunuch bowed his head and said.

"Hmph!" Murong Yu took one last look at the pair of men and women in white, and threw his sleeves away angrily, and after a while, the pair also returned hand in hand.

"Tonight's incident, you are never allowed to talk about it to outsiders, if you dare to tarnish Qinglian's reputation, I will definitely tear you to pieces. The two walked out of the rockery, and Zuo Nanhao pointed at Chen Mu's nose and shouted.

"It's okay, tonight's matter, I also hope that Childe can keep his mouth shut, let's say goodbye, we will ...... !! indefinitely" Chen Mu sneered and walked away with the wooden box.

"You?" Zuo Nanhao trembled with anger.

However, he thought about it, if it weren't for Baili Yan learning a few cat meows tonight, he would be afraid that he would be less lucky, so he should actually thank her for coming. How can that bad woman be grateful for all the evil she does?

After the two of them left, a palace maid came out of the shadows with some regret on her face, and after a while, she disappeared into the imperial garden like a ghost. Let's say that after Chen Mu returned to the cold palace, Mama Zhang and Crescent Moon were already waiting outside the door.

After a while, Mama left the lock, Chen Mu pulled the crescent moon into the house, took out the handkerchief in his arms, and looked serious, tonight, it was this handkerchief that almost killed him. "Huh, isn't this the handkerchief I just sold to Mama Zhang?" Miss, how did you get it?"

"You sold it to Mama Zhang?" Chen Mu said in astonishment.

"Yes, just now after you left, Mama Zhang turned back to chat with me and asked me if I had any valuable items, she had a door in the palace and could sell them. ”

"And then?"

"The embroidery thread on this veil is gold, and it is worth a few dollars. I'll just ......"

When Chen Mu heard this, he couldn't help but sit down on the chair, cold sweat broke out on his back, and after a while, he told the crescent moon all about tonight, and the crescent moon trembled like a sieve when he heard it. "I can't stay in this cold palace!" Chen Mu muttered as he looked at the bright moon outside the window.

A few days later, the temperature plummeted, the courtyard of the cold palace was full of sycamore leaves, and the grass in the courtyard began to decay, but the crescent moon and Chen Mu were still wearing thin clothes, shivering in the autumn wind, and the two of them were already starved.

"Miss, we don't have thick clothes, the quilt on the bed is a little thin, the room is still leaking, we don't even have window screens, and even the wild vegetables are about to wither. After a while, the wild vegetable porridge couldn't be eaten, and the crescent moon leaned on Chen Mu's shoulder, sobbing constantly.

If this continues, they will either freeze to death or starve to death.

"Don't worry, wait another day, tomorrow we will have money to spend. Chen Mu patted the crescent moon on the shoulder, turned around and entered a room. The crescent moon through the crack in the door, only to see the utility room, the plain girl is sitting on the ground, surrounded by abandoned wood, the girl holds a broken dagger, carved on a waste wood board, sawdust falls to the ground, the autumn wind blows, the girl in the house is frozen and shivering, but she still grits her teeth, continues to carve the wood in her hand, in the evening, there is a "nail" knocking sound in the house,

It wasn't until late at night that the oil lamp in the utility room was about to go out, and at noon the next day, Mama Zhang delivered the meal on time.

"Come with me, I have something to give to Mama. ”

"Ouch, why is the girl bothering? I'm an old woman, where is it worth the girl's attention?" Mama Zhang was overjoyed, saying that she was embarrassed to ask for it, but her body involuntarily followed behind Chen Mu.

"Duducible old woman!" the crescent moon pouted, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, and hurriedly followed behind them.

After a while, Chen Mu took out two rectangular jewelry boxes from the utility room, one of which was made of purple and red sandalwood, and a plum blossom was carved on the box, which looked noble and elegant, and the other was made of pineapple wood, and the box was carved with a hibiscus out of the water, which was fresh and elegant, and also had a unique flavor.

"This Qinglian jewelry box will be given to Mama, and another red sandalwood plum jewelry box, please Mama can help us sell it, so that we can exchange for some food and clothing. ”

The concubines and ladies of the palace love this kind of box, but unfortunately the style on the outside is old-fashioned, and the wood used is also inferior, this object is really fresh and chic, and it will definitely sell for a good price. Mama Zhang took the two delicate jewelry boxes and was overjoyed.

"Thank you Mama for your love, and please be more attentive. ”

"The girl is polite, I'll go to Zhang Luo now. Mama Zhang put the two boxes in her arms, raised her little feet, and walked quickly towards the door of the cold palace.

At noon on the second day, Mama Zhang brought some fruits and vegetables to the cold palace, as well as a small bag of old rice, it turned out that she sold two jewelry boxes yesterday afternoon, and the buyer was a big palace maid in the harem, and the palace maid dedicated this thing to a concubine in the palace, and the concubine loved the red sandalwood plum jewelry box, so she rewarded the palace maid.

And Mama Zhang also got half a tael of silver, and after the news spread, some little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace came to ask for Mama Zhang's jewelry box.

In just one day, Mama Zhang got a few taels of silver in her hand, and now, Baili Yan has already become her cornucopia, and she wants to take care of this waste queen, in order to be able to squeeze more gold and silver on Baili Yan.

"These things, the girl is still satisfied? Don't hide from the girl, the old body also has a thing to ask for, yesterday's two boxes are extremely rare, the people in the palace love this, can the girl get some more, no matter what color and style, as long as it is delicate and chic." ”

"It's not hard to get more of them, it's just that it's very labor-intensive, and you don't have the tools and the best wood. Chen Mu lowered his head, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

"It's not a big deal, tools and wood, let the old man help the girl get it. "As long as it is profitable, even if Baili Yan wants the stars in the sky, she Mama Zhang will carry a ladder to run to the Nine Heavens.

"But, Mama, I've been a little tight lately, I'm not a bad person, I like to count the money when I'm free, or I don't have the strength to work."

"Okay, the money earned is eighty-two, and I am eighty-two for you. Mama Zhang said bitterly.

"Mama, five or five points. ”

"No, if you don't have three or seven points, I'll be seven and you are three, can the girl accept it?" This Baili Yan is not stupid, and he knows how to bargain, Mama Zhang re-examined the girl in front of her.

"Okay, Mama is seven and I have three, but Mama has to prepare fresh ingredients and food for us every day. Chen Mu immediately agreed.

Mama Zhang was very efficient, and brought some powerful tools and fine wood for Chen Mu that night, and Chen Mu did not live up to Mama Zhang's trust, and rushed to make a few exquisite jewelry boxes the next day. Since then, Chen Mu and Crescent Moon have been making jewelry boxes day and night in the cold palace, and Mama Zhang is peddling them in the palace, and several people have cooperated seamlessly.

Half a month later, Mama Zhang has made a small windfall, but some people have already targeted her. At the time of the third watch, a palace maid wearing a black cloak and carrying a palace lamp came to Mama Zhang's door like a ghost.

"Mama, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, you have already received so much of our master's property, but why are you still secretly helping Baili Yan? The master has been very angry recently, if you are so obsessed again, I am afraid that you will not even be able to keep the whole corpse. ”

The girl was angry, and listened to the old body's words, the cold palace died, this matter can be big or small, the old body has already prepared a perfect plan, only two years, Baili Yan will get sick and die. ”

"You put chronic poison in her meal?"

"No, the wild goose is extremely cautious, I guess she never eats the food I serve. ”

"That?"

"The old body gave her a set of tools, the handle of the tool, was soaked by the old body with a chronic ghost, as long as the hundred miles of geese touched it day by day, three hundred and ninety-nine days later, she will die of poison, this medicine is produced in the Western Regions, extremely rare, even the imperial doctor in the palace has never heard of it. ”

"Okay, worthy of being the old lady in the palace, if you do things properly, I will definitely show your loyalty to my master. ”

A moment later, a black shadow disappeared into the night.

And said that there has been a new turmoil in Yanjing City recently, it is rumored that there is a new jewelry box in the palace, the materials are extremely high-quality, the style is very novel, the carving on the box is extremely exquisite, the carved flowers and grass are lifelike, the jewelry box will also emit a kind of orchid fragrance, even the concubines in the palace have to line up to order, it can be said that it is difficult to find, the ladies outside the palace are rushing to buy, but it is difficult to buy a good heart.

In a remote corner outside the palace, a bunch of maids surrounded a small eunuch.

"Father-in-law, you clearly said last time that you would help my young lady carry the jewelry box, how can you not believe your words?" a little maid pouted, looking extremely annoyed.

"That's it, you promised me to come the day before yesterday, and my young lady was overjoyed. A little girl next to her was also dissatisfied.

"Oh, my little ancestors, this thing is very popular now, and the concubines in the palace have to wait in line, not to mention the ladies outside the palace. The little eunuch frowned, looking quite pitiful, he didn't dare to boast of such a big Haikou, and Mama Zhang was very stingy, and she was only willing to give him two jewelry boxes to sell, which made it extremely difficult for him to be a man now.

"Well, there should always be a copy of my young lady in these two boxes today. The girl closest to the little eunuch stared at the things in the eunuch's arms.

"If you want to be beautiful, everything must come first and come first. A few maids quarreled instantly.

The little eunuch's head was about to blow up when he was noisy, and he squatted in the corner of the wall, crying and laughing.

"My young lady is the daughter of Shangshu and has a noble status, and there is no reason for her to give things to others. "A maid argues with reason.

"My young lady's family has a lot of property, and there is nothing in Yanjing City that she can't afford. A maid next to him also pouted.
