A few little palace maids who picked osmanthus returned to Kunning Palace with blue osmanthus flowers, and suddenly the whole hall was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Fan Lotus and others smelled the fragrance and smiled, "It's so fragrant, the osmanthus cake made this year must be delicious." ”

The little palace maid flattered: "The slaves and maids have picked more, and the aunts can also make sachets." ”

Zijuan grabbed a handful of osmanthus flowers and chuckled: "The little girl is clever." ”

The little palace maid handed the basket to the other three, Bai Ling picked a few osmanthus flowers with leaves, held them in her hand and asked casually, "Have you seen the queen mother?"

The slave saw that the queen mother and the shadow aunt seemed to be heading to the royal lake. The little palace maid blinked, recalling the direction Ma Xiuying left.

Bai Ling said enviously: "Sister Ying is still favored, and the master takes her with her in whatever he does." ”

"You guys go with me and wash the osmanthus flowers. Fan He glanced at her and left straight away with the little palace maid.

A smile froze on Bai Ling's face, and she muttered, "I didn't offend her, did I?"

Zijuan smiled: "Sister Pink Lotus has always been unsmiling, and you don't know it." ”

Bai Ling muttered, "No matter how serious she is, the master will not look down on her." ”

"Really, the master is not afraid of freezing when he wears so little. Zijuan pretended not to hear, stomped his feet, and said to the green willow: "You go and send a cloak to the master, and come back with me to tidy up the rest of the cages, and it's time to pick up the clothes for the change of season." ”

Green willow hesitated, as if unwilling to go out.

Zijuan raised her eyebrows, "Why are you stunned, it's frozen master, and no one can get rid of it." Remember taking that fox fur cloak, I just smoked it. ”

Green Willow bit her lip and turned into the ear chamber.

"What are you doing to her?" Bai Ling frowned, and said angrily: "She and we are both a grade of female officials, you are a little maid all day long, you have the ability to be fierce." ”

Zijuan said with a smile: "Sister, don't lie at me if you are angry, I didn't see her like a wooden man, so I let her show her face in front of the master." ”

"Do you have such a good heart?" Bai Ling glanced at her, "It's good if you don't bully her." ”

Zijuan said meaningfully: "We are just slaves and maids serving the master, and we are not the celebrities around the master, who can bully anyone." ”

Bai Ling was dumbfounded and left angrily.

Zijuan looked at Bai Ling's back contemptuously and snorted. To say that among the several people, Bai Ling is the one who calls the green willow the most, and she still has the face to accuse her.

Ma Xiuying and Xun Ying came to the East Palace, and there were two energetic guards standing at the palace gate, and when they saw Ma Xiuying, they hurriedly knelt down. One led Ma Xiuying in, and the other went to pass on the crown princess.

The road surface seen along the way is very clean, the pavilions and pavilions are cleaned spotlessly, and the palace people perform their duties, and there is no lazy phenomenon.

Ma Xiuying smiled with satisfaction, it is different to have a hostess in the East Palace.

Chang Meirong came out with an attendant to salute.

Ma Xiuying helped her up, seeing her ruddy face and bright eyes, knowing that she had walked out of the grief of losing her father, she couldn't help but put her mind at ease and asked with a smile: "How is the prince doing?"

"The prince goes to court every morning in the morning, studies with Bachelor Song in the afternoon, and writes some articles in the evening......" Chang Meirong said the prince's life in an orderly manner.

"Are these people obedient?" Ma Xiuying glanced at the palace people around Chang Meirong, these palace people all looked like they were not squinting and behaved, and they were no longer as tired and lazy as before.

Chang Meirong pursed her lips and smiled, "The palace people are very conscientious and conscientious, if it weren't for them to assist the daughter-in-law in taking care of the East Palace, the daughter-in-law would just be too busy." ”

The palace people behind him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the crown princess say this.

Ma Xiuying became more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law who knew how to combine grace and power, "With you by the prince's side, I am relieved." ”

Chang Meirong said humbly: "This is the duty of a daughter-in-law. ”

"You all stand down, this palace and the crown princess have a few thoughtful words. Ma Xiuying waved away a group of palace people, took Chang Meirong's hand and entered the inner room, leaving Xun Ying to guard the door.

Chang Meirong's face changed slightly, and she quickly calmed down and waited for Ma Xiuying to speak.

Ma Xiuying brewed the wording, "Prince Liangdi will enter the palace in two days, I hope you will get along in harmony in the future......"

In order to balance the technique, Zhu Yuanzhang chose the daughters of military generals and civil officials as concubines for Zhu Biao. Prince Liangdi Lu is the daughter of Lu Ben, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and her status is second only to the crown princess, and out of respect for the crown princess, she has to enter the palace a month later than Chang Meirong. It's almost time, Ma Xiuying is worried that Chang Meirong will be uncomfortable, so I came to mention a few words.

Chang Meirong's eyes darkened, and she cheered up and said: "If the minister's daughter-in-law is provincial, the minister's daughter-in-law will live in harmony with Liangdi and serve the prince with all her heart." ”

is also a woman, how could Ma Xiuying not perceive the discomfort in Chang Meirong's heart, but even she had no way to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to be monogamous, let alone Chang Meirong. Zhu Yuanzhang's current words are the laws of Chrysostom, and no one can change them, so she can only comfort: "Don't worry, the queen mother's favorite is you, and no one can shake your status with the queen mother." And the prince misses the old love the most, he will never like the new and hate the old and ignore you......"

Chang Meirong blushed in shame, "The prince is indeed very good to his daughter-in-law......"

"Seeing you two happy together, the queen mother is relieved. Ma Xiuying's words changed, her smile faded, and her tone was a little heavy, "The queen mother has something to tell you." ”

Chang Meirong's heart couldn't help but get nervous, and she looked at Ma Xiuying nervously.

Ma Xiuying patted the back of her hand and said slowly: "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to remind you, you will work hard in the future, the prince's daily life and diet will be handled by you, don't fake it to others." ”

"Queen Mother?" Chang Meirong's hand shook violently, and her voice involuntarily raised.

"I was shocked when I was pregnant with the prince, the prince was born with heart palpitations, and the doctor said that he should not be too tired and emotional, and the diet should be lighter......" Ma Xiuying wanted to tell Chang Meirong that someone wanted to harm the prince, but she was afraid of frightening Chang Meirong, so she changed her rhetoric.

However, Chang Meirong was very intelligent, and immediately heard that Ma Xiuying had something to say. Asked in a panic: "Queen Mother, is there someone who is not good for the crown prince?" Although she is young, she is not ignorant, especially after she was elected as the crown princess, she knows her responsibilities and obligations, and often reads some historical records and palace books, and her understanding of the harem is not shallow.

Ma Xiuying neither denied nor admitted it, and looked at Chang Meirong's eyes silently.

Chang Meirong hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"I can't tell you who it is now, it's not easy to tell the emperor without evidence, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, you and the prince should be careful.

"The daughter-in-law will definitely take care of the prince, and you should also be careful after the queen mother. ”

Seeing that Chang Meirong was still thinking about herself, Ma Xiuying smiled with relief: "Don't worry, the queen mother will not let the other party's tricks succeed." Don't tell the prince in advance, he is not in good health, so don't let him get angry. ”

"The daughter-in-law understands. ”

The two talked again, Ma Xiuying originally wanted to wait for Zhu Biao to come back from school and have dinner together, but who knew that Zhao Cheng would summon the emperor immediately.
