When Meng Qi and Mu Qing entered the palace together, the person standing at the door to greet them was Xiao Lingzi.

Nowadays, Xiao Lingzi can also be regarded as the number one person in the palace, although Ling's father-in-law is now doing errands, but everyone can see that Huang Hui values him, and many things are handed over to him to do, although now Xiao Lingzi is mostly doing the work of serving tea and water in front of His Majesty, but this can be regarded as being able to get close to His Majesty's body, and it is naturally amazing in the palace.

Even if it is a character like Meng Qi in Liqing on weekdays, when he sees Xiao Lingzi, he has to call him "Father-in-law Ling".

Xiao Lingzi shook off the dust, and didn't dare to do it, but his eyes were looking at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing stepped forward with a smile, did not salute, but said with a smile: "Father-in-law Ling is so magnificent now, don't be a real man for three days, I'm afraid that he will also soar in the future." ”

Xiao Lingzi's impression of Mu Qing has always been very good, and this person is now the top of His Majesty's heart, he has to ask once or twice a day on weekdays, and he is only afraid of being very prosperous in the future, Xiao Lingzi naturally did not dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Lord Mu is ashamed of me, I am just running errands and passing the word, so I deserve the praise of the champion father." ”

The smile on Mu Qing's face did not change, and he stretched out his hand, above board, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Lingzi without hesitation. Xiao Lingzi understood, stretched out his hand, and a heavy purse slipped into the cuffs of Ling's father-in-law.

Mu Qing's set of actions was done smoothly, the expression on his face did not change, and he was still smiling: "If you can afford it, I am afraid that there will be a place for my father-in-law to take care of it in the future." ”

Xiao Lingzi didn't look at the purse, every time Mu Qing entered the palace in the past, he would give him some benefits, and every time he was very rich, I'm afraid it won't be bad this time.

He loves money, and he loves it on the bright side, which not only makes him happy, but also reassures several characters behind him.

And with Mu Qing's silver, Xiao Lingzi felt at ease, after all, whether it was Li Muyan or Li Qianyu, they treated Mu Qing very differently from others.

No longer chatting, Xiao Lingzi stretched out his hand and said to them: "Two adults, it's not too early, don't let the official family wait in a hurry." ”

Mu Qing nodded, he wanted to go first, but after thinking about it, he gave way and let Meng Qi go first.

Meng Qi can see clearly that Xiao Lingzi's attitude is also the attitude of His Majesty, he has taken a fancy to Mu Qing, this is the person who will gain power in the future, but because he is older now, Mu Qing is just grateful for his respect. However, he would not refuse Mu Qing's kindness, this is the respect and humility of Confucianism, Meng Qi nodded towards Mu Qing and took a step ahead.

Mu Qing smiled and followed Meng Qi into the palace gate.

============================================================================================

No matter how the situation changes outside, the inner courtyard of the palace seems to have always been calm and has never changed anything.

Red walls and green tiles, shadow wall corridors, Mu Qingxian is now familiar with a lot of roads, and now he is also familiar with it.

Xiao Lingzi walked at the forefront, without saying a word, just walking forward with his head bored, which made Mu Qing feel a little boring, if he was usually the only one, I was afraid that he would have to chat with Xiao Lingzi about something, but now that Meng Qi was present, reason told Mu Qing that it was better to take care of his mouth.

Without saying a word all the way, the three of them walked to the door of the Mingyi Palace.

Mu Qing glanced at the corridor and was surprised to find that the girl in pink was still sitting there with a book in her hand, the velvet flowers on her head had changed color, but the embroidered shoes on her feet were still the same style as last pair, sitting there swaying her calves, and her skirt was slightly floating in mid-air.

Mu Qing saw her, she also saw Mu Qing, this time she didn't scold last time, but jumped directly down the corridor, stuffed the book into her arms, and ran over.

When Xiao Lingzi saw the girl running over, he first pursed the corners of his lips, and then laughed, with some caution: "Huichun, this is Lord Mu, this is Lord Meng." ”

Huichun's clear eyes turned around them, and then blessed his body, saluted in a regular manner, and then said with a smile: "Please wait for the two adults." Then he looked at Xiao Lingzi, "You go in and pass it on, I'll go and get tea." You can see if there is any leftover rose sugar cake on the official's table, if you eat it all, you can wait for me to make a color, and I will pick it up. ”

Xiao Lingzi nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but Huichun didn't look at him and just turned around and left. The little father-in-law looked a little helpless and a little sad.

This conversation was listened to by Mu Qing and Meng Qi, and Mr. Meng Qi looked unconscious, it seemed that he didn't care about the eyebrows of the little eunuch and the little palace maid, but Mu Qing saw something else, raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't know what to think.

After the transmission, it didn't take long for Xiao Lingzi to let them in, and after collecting his thoughts, the two of them entered the gate of the Mingyi Hall with a stern expression.

"Your Majesty." The two of them bent down and saluted, their voices in unison.

Li Muyan didn't make a batch of folds this time, but sat at the mahogany round table drinking tea, with an empty plate in front of him, and when he saw them come in, he smiled and put the teacup aside. Huang Jian, who was on his side at any time, hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, Li Muyan took it and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said with a smile: "The two Aiqing are flat." ”

Mu Qing got up, and someone from the palace brought a soft stool to sit with them.

Mu Qing raised his eyes and took a look, and found that the plate on Li Muyan's table was really empty, so he blinked.

"Mu Qing, what are you looking at?" Li Mu asked with a smile in his tone.

Mu Qing was not taboo, and said directly: "Back to Your Majesty, I was thinking that you have something to eat here, but I smelled the sweet taste, but I didn't see it, and I felt very strange in my heart." ”

Li Muyan just shook his head when he heard this, but his face was still relaxed without the slightest hint of harshness: "Come on, you have been worried about it since you begged for something to eat from me last time?" ”

Mu Qingxiao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "That's His Majesty's pity for the lower officials, but we are very harmonious with the monarch and the minister." ”

This kind of speech made Meng Qi look sideways, and the smile on Li Muyan's face also made Meng Qi look at it. Li Muyan seemed to like Mu Qing's casual appearance by birth, and at this time, it happened that Huichun entered the door to serve tea, and Li Muyan said: "Bring some pastries, don't be hungry for our Mu Siye." ”

Huichun was very customary in front of Li Muyan, and when he heard this, he unconsciously glanced at Mu Qing, and then put the tea cup away and retreated. Mu Qing took a sip of tea, only to feel that the tea was fragrant and the temperature was suitable.

Meng Qi didn't drink, and sat there in a regular manner, not squinting.

Huichun was neat with his hands and feet, and after a while, he came back with a plate of rose sugar cake and placed it in the middle of the table. Li Muyan stretched out his hand and pushed the plate towards Mu Qing: "Okay, let's eat, don't let down my dim sum." ”

"Your Majesty, you're so polite, then I'm not welcome." As Mu Qing spoke, he really pinched a piece and stuffed it in his mouth, and his cheeks bulged up, like a squirrel with two peanuts in his mouth.

Li Muyan shook his head with a smile again, no longer looking at him, but turned to Meng Qi: "Meng Aiqing, how is the eighth child studying recently?" ”

When Meng Qi heard this, he stood up and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it at one point, and now he can memorize the whole book." ”

"That's good." Li Muyan nodded, then took a sip of tea, and then glanced at Mu Qing, who picked up the second sugar cake, and said, "But I have calculated, the eighth child is not young, and he is not in Taixue for the imperial examination, and now that he is old, it is time to come back." ”

Meng Qi said: "What His Majesty said is extremely true. ”

Li Muyan was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and it was Mu Qing who interrupted his thoughts, it seemed that he was in a hurry to eat, Mu Qing was choked, and he had to stretch out his hand and hang his heart with a pitiful look of choking to death.

Li Muyan directly handed over his teacup, and Mu Qing simply drank the water with Li Muyan's hand, which could be regarded as smooth, and Qingjun's face showed a relaxed expression.

"Out of breath." Li Muyan frowned slightly.

Mu Qing tilted his head, looking pitiful: "Let Your Majesty see the joke, who makes this thing too delicious." ”

"Your mouth, after all, it's not me." Li Muyan hated that iron could not become steel, but he didn't say much, but turned his face to Meng Qi, "Dr. Meng is also familiar with the eighth child's studies, I want to make a nightmare, Dr. Meng is tired, you can enter the palace every day to guide the eighth child, urging him not to delay his studies." ”

Meng Qi had already been mentally prepared, and now Li Muyan was not surprised to bring it up, so he said directly: "Xia Guan understands." ”

Li Muyan nodded, he liked Meng Qi because this person knew how to be humble enough. His eyes looked at Mu Qing: "Mu Qing, do you know what I asked you to do?" ”

Mu Qing said honestly: "The lower officials don't know. ”

Li Muyan also pinched a piece of sugar cake and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it with the tea before saying: "Dr. Meng came to teach the Old Eight Four Books and Five Classics in the morning, and you came to teach him horseback riding and archery in the afternoon." Mu Qing blinked, and wanted to remind Li Muyan that I was not very good at horseback riding, but Li Muyan didn't give him a chance to refuse at all, and said, "Pack up, and you can enter the palace tomorrow." ”

The two got up to receive the order, Meng Qi still had that kind of stern expression, cold as ice and snow, but Mu Qing had a bottom in his heart after thinking about it.

Li Muyan just found someone to play with the Eighth Prince, and whether he learned or not was actually secondary. According to Li Qianyu's meaning, he wanted to sue him for being inferior to the elders, but looking at Li Muyan's meaning, it was clear that he wanted him to be distracted elsewhere, which was much more powerful than Li Qianyu's methods.

Thinking about how he would act in the future, he saw Huang Hui walking up to him and whispering, "Master Mu, come with us later." After speaking, Huang Hui stood back aside.

Mu Qing blinked, Li Muyan didn't say anything, but Huang Hui's meaning was clearly what Li Muyan meant, and Mu Qing nodded at Huang Hui.

However, when Huang Hui turned around, Mu Qing saw that he was holding a sign in his hand, dark red, with the word "Tian" in black on it.

This is the pass card, the pass card of the dungeon.

Mu Qing's pupils shrank.
