Ziyue took the white jade lotus with a smile in her eyes, and gave the night queen a slight blessing, "Ziyue is here to thank the queen for her generous gift, this white jade lotus should be borrowed from us, if there is a chance in the future, we will definitely return it." ”

Only now did she truly understand that the Night Queen's use of the white jade lotus had such a deep meaning.

Wangying suddenly remembered another thing, and immediately said: "Queen, there is another reluctant invitation below, that is, I and my friends once borrowed the bodies of the guards Mai He and Yao Yu to walk in the elven country, and half a month before leaving, we once told their families to help the queen run errands, and I hope that the queen can give them appropriate rewards, which can be regarded as helping me and my friends to fulfill their commitments to their families." ”

"It's easy to say, in fact, they really contribute to the stability of the elven country, since they are the guards of the capital, then give them a promotion. ”

After getting the night queen's personal consent, Wangying's heart finally calmed down a lot, along the way, his mind from time to time appeared in his mind the hard work of rice grains washing in the cold night until dawn, if Mai He was promoted in the future, she would then go to work in the laundry bureau, and she should not have such a hard life in the future.

Then the queen arranged for them to stay in the night's rest, and then they would leave again tomorrow.

During the day, it is inconvenient for them to go out as human beings, and at night, how can they miss this opportunity?

Wangying has always been the wish of Sui Hua Branding, and besides, he also wanted to see if Mai He and Yao Yu would have any adverse reactions after recovering themselves, so he agreed.

Ziyue and Hongfeng naturally followed the excitement, but Qing Shui was reluctant to go out, he said that he wanted to stay and read the book.

The four of them quietly walked out of the palace and went directly to the small courtyard of Mi Li's house. At this time, it was not long after dark, but because of the cold weather, ordinary people closed their doors early to rest, and the small courtyard of Mi Li's house was brightly lit, a joyful scene.

Hua Xuan pulled Wangying's sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "Wangying, I heard Hongfeng say that the rice grain is very beautiful, diligent and virtuous, I want to take a closer look." ”

"Red Maple, when did you become a long-tongued woman?" Wangying smiled and looked at Red Maple, Red Maples quickly lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "It was Miss Hua who kept pulling me to ask about rice grains, and I told the truth." ”

After a pause, he said with a hint of doubt: "What, can't this be said?"

Ziyue smiled lightly, "It's not that you can't say it, you said too much, which aroused Hua Xuan's curiosity." ”

Probably because the people inside heard the sound outside, the door creaked open, and a girl in a crimson cotton jacket and two beautiful buns came out, she looked left and right, shrunk her neck, and then closed the door again.

Soon a delicate voice came from inside, and said loudly with a smile: "Mi Li, what are you doing, it's freezing outside, don't you still want to go out to blow the wind?"

There was a voice with joy that said: "I heard a voice outside, I thought it was a wild cat and a wild dog, and I was going to give them some food, today is a good day, so it is fate, and we should all share our joy." ”

Wangying and the others had already hid in the shadows, and when Hua Yan heard this, he immediately nodded, "Hongfeng is right, this rice grain is indeed a good girl, take a closer look outside." ”

At this time, the cold wind was blowing fiercely, and the people in the house should not come out, so they quietly walked to the window, and then wet the window paper with saliva and looked inside.

Inside is a very simple hall, with some common tables, chairs and benches, and a charcoal stove burning in the center of the hall.

Next to the square table sat Yao Yu, Mai He, Mi Li and Gui Mama, and the eldest grandmother sat on the top seat.

The dishes on the table are mainly meat-based, exuding steaming heat. Mi Li picked up a large piece of meat and put it in Grandma's bowl, and said with a smile: "Grandma, this is mutton, you can eat more, you can warm your stomach." ”

The old grandmother looked smiling, although the wrinkles on her face were obvious, but she was radiant, she looked much younger, and her spirit was good, "Okay, eat, everyone eats, the future life is better, you can eat mutton every day." ”

Mi Li turned his arm at Mai He, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Brother, Mama Gui is a guest of our family today, you have to greet people well, and quickly serve vegetables to Mama Gui." ”

Mai He seemed to wake up at this time, and quickly put a piece of mutton into the bowl in front of Mama Gui, and said a little shyly: "Mama Gui, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for you, Mi Li wouldn't be able to go to work in the laundry bureau, and if there is anything I need in the future, just ask." ”

Mama Gui lowered her head with a hint of shyness, and whispered: "Actually, compared to the ruby necklace you gave me, the matter of letting Mi Li go to work in the laundry bureau is too insignificant. I often go in and out of the palace, and this ruby necklace is very expensive at first glance, even if the rice grain earns a lifetime in the laundry bureau may not be able to afford this necklace. ”

After speaking, Mama Gui happily stroked the sparkling ruby necklace around her neck with her hand. Although Mai He is poor and white, but down-to-earth and reliable, she has always liked to be close to him, she really didn't expect him to give her such a generous gift, as a woman, a man gave her such a precious thing, it can be said that a man has regarded her as a part of his life.

Mai He looked at the dazzling necklace around her neck, and his eyes were still a little puzzled, "Is this chain really picked up by me?"

"Brother, you have asked this question many times, don't ask it again, I will answer you for the last time, this necklace was picked up by you, this is what Yao Yu said personally, and I saw you give it to Mama Gui with my own eyes, brother, you don't want to regret it now and take the necklace back, right?"

Mai He hurriedly said: "How can I take it back, I just don't believe that I will have such good luck." ”

Yao Yu said with infinite envy: "Your luck is really good, we went out together, but you picked up such a valuable necklace, but I returned empty-handed, if I also pick up one, I can give it to rice grains." ”

When Mi Li heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm just a rough worker." ”
