Seeing that the eunuch on the side didn't move, Lu Ling reprimanded: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you drag it down and hit the board quickly!" ”
The eunuch only reacted and stepped forward to drag Xiulian away. Xiu Lian realized that she was going to move her real character, and cried - "I am His Royal Highness's personal palace maid, who dares to touch me!" "I want to see Your Highness, I want to see Your Highness......"
Mo Mingzhu frowned. "Shut up!"
Xiu Lian's mouth was gagged, and she was still still unconvinced and was dragged down. When the other servants in the garden saw it, they all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out, and there was a green short-clothed palace goddess with a strange color, who glanced at Xiu Pian and sneaked away.
Yun Tao helped Mo Mingzhu to leave, Lu Ling stayed, glanced at the servants in the garden who were obedient and had their own thoughts in their hearts, and said loudly: "Pass the princess's order, after a quarter of an hour, all the minions of the Hou Three Palaces will gather outside the Fengxiang Palace, and those who are late will be fined three months!" ”
A moment later, all the palace people in Fengxiang Palace were ordered by the princess to come to Fengxiang Palace. At the entrance of the palace, the four eunuchs were beating the board of a big palace maid. That palace maid is the Xiulian that everyone knows, and she has a very high status among the palace people.
Xiulian was beaten and screamed, and at first she said "Gao Guogong" and "Jinxian" Yunyun, saying that Gao Xueyan valued her or something, but then the board didn't go down a few times, only Wow Wow shouted for mercy from the princess. The minions were frightened, and the sound of the slapping of the board made people tremble, and they thought that the princess was going to be angry and punish people, but they didn't expect that after entering the palace, the princess smiled at them kindly.
Mo Mingzhu got up from the beauty couch of sandalwood carved peony and Luan Feng, her skirt dragged to the ground, her posture was luxurious and beautiful, although the smile on her eyebrows was kind, but she did not dare to be underestimated, she waved her hand and asked the palace maid to bring two plates of silver. "When you first enter the palace, these are rewards for all of you, and in the future, as long as you do things for the palace, rewards are indispensable."
As soon as the palace maid uncovered the red cloth, the silver rows of silver ingots on the plate made more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs look red-eyed. They only have ten taels a month, and the average five or six taels is considered high, and there are thirty or fifty taels of silver in this plate!
"Qingyan, enjoy it."
The palace maid named Qingyan is one of the four palace maids who were newly transferred to serve Mo Mingzhu, doing some chores in the palace, Qingyan got the order, and felt that she was taken seriously, so she hurriedly stepped forward and distributed the reward silver, and the silver was heavy in her hand.
The minions saw Xiulian being beaten, thinking that it was a disaster, but they didn't expect such a big reward, so they immediately thanked Dade and took the silver and called Chitose.
Especially the second-class eunuch led by Fengxiang Palace, Tang An is the best at talking and patting horses: "Thank you for the reward of the princess, thank you for the reward of the princess......" "The servants should do their best to serve the left and right, and they have no two hearts." ”
"Hmm......" Mo Mingzhu looked at the look of a slave after receiving the reward, some were happy, and some were calm. She deliberately asked the names of all the calm minions. Lu Ling glanced at her, and the master and servant had the same mind and understood in their hearts. After receiving a reward and being so calm, most of them didn't come to the palace for silver, in other words, they had another purpose!
"Okay, Lu Ling, I'll leave the rest to you, I'm tired of this palace." Mo Mingzhu got up, and Yun Tao came to help her back to the dormitory.
Lu Ling led the four palace maids of Qingyan, distributed the reward silver, and gave a lecture.
After Mo Mingzhu finished singing with a red face, Lu Ling began to sing with a white face, swept the minions coldly, and said: "Whether to take the reward and be comfortable, or to be comfortable with the board, you have to think clearly." Who is the hostess of Fengxiang Palace and even the entire harem now, don't recognize the wrong person now. ”
Lu Ling gave the eunuch who was guarding the board outside the door a look, and the second eunuch carried Xiulian, who was dying, and deliberately passed by the door of the main hall, dragging a bloody stain. The servants in the temple were frightened when they saw the bloody appearance.
After reprimanding the minions, Lu Ling entered the dormitory to report the situation of Mingzhu. "Niangniang, the slave maid deliberately looked at the palace maids who were indifferent when they received the rewards before, and their faces turned white with fright."
Yun Tao took the words and said: "Hehe, fight with our young lady, and don't weigh your own money!" Let's skin those disloyal minions! ”
Lu Ling was taken aback by her words, although Mo Mingzhu felt that she was simply funny, but he also had to reprimand her: "This time is different from the past, this is not the Mo Mansion but the palace, you have to change your nonsense nature, remember?" ”
Yun Tao stuck out her tongue and said that she remembered. Although Mo Mingzhu is cruel to bullying herself, she is more kind and talkative to the people around her, and she doesn't have too many shelves, after all, she grew up in a society where everyone is equal. But Yun Tao's personality must be changed, and the people in the palace are sinister.
In the afternoon, according to Mo Mingzhu's instructions, Lu Ling recorded the person whose face did not change when he received the reward, and took it to the steward's room of the Weichen Palace to find out the ancestral home and how to enter the palace.
Lu Ling was efficient, and soon came back with a thick stack of books to tell Mo Mingzhu. Mo Mingzhu opened it and was a little surprised. "Of the more than 20 people, ten of them were recommended by court officials to enter the palace."
"Niangniang, although they are court officials, they are all local petty officials scattered all over the place, and officials above the fourth grade have almost no participation, so I don't think it's in the way." Lu Ling said.
Mo Mingzhu put down the booklet and laughed, not reaching the bottom of his eyes. "It is not appropriate for officials above the fourth rank to recommend palace maids to the palace, and besides, a few small officials in the court are fighting alone......"
Luling understood. "The princess is saying that these local petty officials are probably instructed by the people from above, so they are ...... inserted" After speaking, she felt afraid. The world is decided, the situation is still chaotic, and a careless person may leave a disaster. There was no period of chaos after that founding of the country?
After Yun Tao heard it, she vaguely understood what they were talking about, and she also became solemn.
It is not easy to check the top umbrellas of the magistrates, county magistrates, squires, etc. on the roster, mainly because Mo Mingzhu is the wife of the inner palace, and there is no one to help in the court to check the affairs of the court, and the only thing that can be used is a father Mo Dingyuan. However, this daddy is more than brave, he is powerful in war, and the mixed officialdom is indeed a little less tactful, and no one is biased. I'm afraid it's hard to check.
……
In the evening, Mo Mingzhu asked people to prepare dinner and wait for Xiao Yuchen to come over for dinner. Xiao Yuchen came on the second watch, and the food was cold when he arrived. Mo Mingzhu thought he had eaten it, but he didn't expect that he hadn't eaten it yet.
Knowing that Mo Mingzhu was still hungry, Xiao Yuchen was distressed. "It's all my fault, I only cared about talking about things in the Qiankun Palace, and forgot that you were still waiting here. It's all my fault. He beat himself with her hand.
Mo Mingzhu disagreed: "It's also that I didn't sue you myself, no wonder you." She pulled him over and sat down, and asked him to change another batch of dishes. Although it is a bit extravagant, His Royal Highness is tired on weekdays, so he must eat well. ”
The palace maid and eunuch laid out the dishes and retreated to the side, while Mo Mingzhu and Xiao Yuchen sat next to each other and ate.
Xiao Yuchen took the lead in sandwiching a piece of fresh bamboo shoots and putting it in her bowl: "You have the mission of two people, eat more." ”
"Your Highness."
He suddenly grabbed her hand, and with a wave of the other hand, the minions all went down, and their expressions and eyes were finally completely free.
"Mingzhu, don't call me Your Highness, I am me, just your husband."
"It's not your boss, it's just your husband, and you're not my courtier, it's me...... The most important woman. ”
Mo Mingzhu's heart trembled, and he looked at Xiao Yuchen's eyes a little stunned. She had never expected to hear such words on this plane, and moreover, from the mouth of a man standing on the top floor of this plane. What does he want that he can't get? Money, power, and women, these are the things that men crave.
Is he saying that he is willing to give up these privileges and say "equality" with her?
"Are you serious?"
Xiao Yuchen saw his wife's serious look, and was glad in his heart, fortunately he listened to Mo Feibai's admonition, and said everything more, so that she knew her mind, otherwise, if she misunderstood, I am afraid that this estrangement between them will continue for an unknown amount of time.
Since he was drinking under the corridor in Weicheng half a year ago, he found that Mo Mingzhu seemed to have a kind of uneasy separation in his heart, and he thought about it and felt that it should be this kind of "equality".
"Seriously, I swear by my Xiao Yuchen's life. No matter how variables there are in the future, my Xiao Yuchen's body and mind only belong to Mo Mingzhu. If you break this oath, I ......"
The next words were pressed by Mo Mingzhu's index finger to his lips. "I believe in you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and no matter how much they said, they were speechless.
Mo Mingzhu fell into these sturdy and powerful arms, feeling the warmth and protection he brought her, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, but her heart was full of warmth, filled by this man and their child in her belly.
Even if one day, you don't live up to this vow, I won't let you get hurt. There are always too many changes in life, which are not completely controlled by people, and he is already content to get this true heart in this time and space.
You and me, the two of them began to eat one bite at a time, and the legs of the minions outside the door were stiff, and they hadn't finished eating. At this time, a palace maid in a green short-robe came from outside the house, quietly glanced at the door, and talked to two of Mo Mingzhu's four palace maids who were guarding next to her.
Qingyan happened to come over with the teacup that she rinsed after dinner, and when she heard the words in the back of the porch, she almost didn't hold the teacup steady, and her face turned pale with fright.
