Mu Qing sat in the room, looking at the note in his hand, frowning slightly.

Today's changes in the palace were something Mu Qing did not expect, Liu Mengru was actually taken away directly by Yuan Guifei and became a female official. Liu Mengru is the Liu family, and Liu Shiren is now unreliable, and it seems that he is only loyal to the emperor, but Mu Qing is clear that he is loyal to Li Qianyu, who is now the prince of Zhuang.

Liu Mengru entered the Linquan Pavilion, at least in the harem, and the opposite of the queen was irretrievable, so it would inevitably affect the emperor's impression of the Liu family.

Based on Mu Qing's impression of Li Qianyu, it is absolutely impossible for Concubine Yuan's actions to bypass him, and it is inevitable that there will be Li Qianyu's instructions. And the reasons why Li Qianyu can do this without scruples are nothing more than two.

One possibility is that Liu Shiren has already set up the carriage and wants to support Li Qianyu. But this possibility was only rejected by Mu Qing after thinking about it, Liu Shiren's temper he knew, he might be a scholar who cared about the country, but he was not a warrior who could use his life and the future of his clan as a weight. Literati, after all, have to leave a way back for themselves, let alone officials who worship the second grade.

Another possibility is that Li Qianyu has completely ignored Li Muyan's thoughts, in other words, he doesn't mind whether Li Muyan is suspicious of him at all.

As soon as this idea came out, Mu Qingden stood up. He tossed the paper in his hand into the tea bowl, and he paced slowly around the table in the room with his hands clenched.

When Anu entered the door, he saw Mu Qing, who was a little nervous. Without saying a word, Annu put aside the tray in his hand, and went into the back room, bypassed the screen, took a fire fold and lit a red candle, and knelt on one knee on the bed with the candlestick.

Although it is still spring, many mosquitoes have begun to come out to move, and it is indispensable to come and chase them away before going to bed. Anu took the candle and lit it around, and with the other hand picked up the fan on the bedside table and fanned it back and forth, and waited until he was sure that there were no small things in it to disturb his sleep. Lowering the candlestick, Annu dropped the curtain, tucked the hem of the curtain under the cushions of the bed, reached out and smoothed it out, and went around the screen.

At this time, Mu Qing was no longer wandering around, but sat down at the table honestly, holding a piece of pastry in his hand and sending it to his mouth.

Seeing this, Annu knew that Mu Qing had already thought it through, so he walked over with a smile, stood beside Mu Qing and lifted the teapot, and said while pouring tea into the teacup: "This is the ripe pear cake I just made in the small kitchen, the taste is different, but I don't know which one is right for which." ”

"It's okay." Mu Qing is not taboo, and when he feels hungry at this time, he just picks it up and eats it, but he doesn't care what it tastes like.

Annu poured the teacup full, put the teapot on it, and then said: "But master, don't eat it all, leave some, I will serve it to my wife." ”

Mu Qing was stunned when he heard this, looked at the ripe pear cake in his hand, and then looked at Mu Yan's tablet in the inner room, swallowed the things in his mouth with tea, but sighed softly.

"Is there something worried about the master?" Annu sat opposite Mu Qing, smiling and tilting his head.

Mu Qing didn't want to hide it from Annu, but there were some things that he couldn't let know after all. Not to mention how shocking it is to say those confidential things, just because of Annu's timid nature, he is afraid that he will be able to make this person have nightmares at night. Thinking of this, Mu Qing smiled and said: "It's just some trivial things in the yamen, you must know that those students are not easy to discipline." ”

Annu nodded when he heard this, although he usually didn't go out much, but after all, he had been running around with Mu Qing for many years, and he was still very clear about some basic things.

Mu Qing obviously didn't want to say much, put aside the tea cup in his hand, looked at An Nu and asked with a smile, "What have you been doing in the mansion recently?" ”

Annu blinked, but thought about it very carefully, and then stretched out his fingers and said to Mu Qing one by one: "Usually it is to clean up the house, go to prepare dinner for the master, if the weather is good, go to see the horses, if it is not suitable for the horses, take the snow ball in the house for a walk, next to it...... Oh, by the way, I remember last year I buried a few jars of wine under those plum trees and could take them out, and now it should be time to drink them. ”

Mu Qing smiled while listening to it, and only when he heard him talk about plum blossom wine did he say: "This is not bad, I haven't drunk my own wine for a long time, so it can satisfy my cravings." ”

Annu smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll go and raise a jar tomorrow." ”

"I also brought a jar to Brother Li."

"I understand."

Mu Qing always thinks about Li Qianyu when there are good things, this has nothing to do with affection, after all, Mu Qing has already given his whole person to him, and those small favors are not worth mentioning. It's just that because he is now in the owner's house, he eats other people's things, and it is unjustifiable to not give a penny. Mu Qing estimated that he was so little bit of money Li Qianyu was afraid that he would not be able to look down on him, so he played some emotional cards anytime and anywhere, which could be regarded as a repayment.

However, what Mu Qing noticed was obviously not just those jars of plum blossom wine, his finger lightly tapped on the table: "Annu, you and Lan Ruo have been getting a lot closer recently." ”

Every time he mentioned this, Annu inevitably blushed. He was already good-looking and handsome, and his skin was fairer than ordinary Zhou people, and the faint flush looked even more conspicuous.

Mu Qing just asked casually, but he never thought that he would let his own Annu look like this. In the end, he had more experience, and Mu Qing intuitively felt that the progress between the two of them was probably faster than he thought. There was some gossip fire burning slowly in his heart, but Mu Qing didn't continue to ask, he didn't want to miss breakfast early in the morning.

"I'll go to Brother Li's study," as he spoke, Mu Qing took out a money bag from his arms and put it in front of An Nu, "This is my monthly salary for this month, put it away." ”

Annu, who had long been accustomed to helping Mu Qing manage money, nodded, held the money bag in the palm of his hand, and watched Mu Qing leave with a smile. When he was gone, Annu went back to his room, put the money bag in the secret compartment on the bed, and put the cup back on the floor, and then went to the window.

He didn't open the window, but looked at the vase beside him. There is a flower branch in it, which Lan Ruo rode by during the day, and when he saw that it was very beautiful, he folded it and gave it to him.

Annu looked very plain, and his subordinates didn't say whether they liked it or not, but after taking it back, they put it in a vase, watered it, and put it in a place where they could see it as soon as they looked up, and looked at it if it was okay.

At this moment, Annu stood next to the windowsill, holding his chin with one hand, staring at the bouquet of flowers, and was stupid for a while.

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

There was still light in Li Qianyu's study, and Lan Ruo was not standing at the door, which was a miracle.

Mu Qing buckled the door, and only entered the door after hearing a cold "enter", and at first glance, he saw Li Qianyu who was drinking tea alone, so he walked over, sat opposite him, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you see Lan Ruo today?" Normally, he has been staying by Brother Li's side at this time. ”

Li Qianyu said lightly: "Something happened in the Lan Mansion, and this king allowed him to take a half-day vacation. ”

Mu Qing nodded, and didn't ask much, after all, it was someone else's matter or it was better to inquire less, if Li Qianyu wanted him to know, he would naturally sue him.

Pouring himself a cup of tea without seeing anything, Mu Qing looked at Li Qianyu with a smile and said, "I saw the Lord of Sangluo today," this sentence made Li Qianyu raise his eyelids slightly, Mu Qing did not see it, but continued, "She is very different from what I thought, but she is very noble." ”

Li Qianyu put aside the teacup and said lightly: "This king has not seen her much, since the Meng family has fallen, the county lord of Sangluo has even entered the palace a lot less, and he has never participated in various banquets, but he rarely shows up." ”

"I don't know if she has something to rely on." Mu Qing's words were fluttering, but the smile on his face was meaningful.

Li Qianyu could hear Mu Qing's voice, after all, such a down-and-out county lord can still live a noble life now, if he doesn't rely on it, no one will believe it. However, Li Qianyu gave a positive answer at this time: "When her grandfather was alive, she was very favored, received a lot of rewards, and the mansion was also a lot, even if she looks depressed now, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing." ”

Mu Qing nodded and didn't ask any more.

A woman, materially worry-free, loving husband and wife, I am afraid that it is not difficult to get used to such a simple temperament.

Since this is the case, thinking that the county lord of Sangluo is also an insignificant figure, Mu Qing will not pay any attention to her. After asking what he wanted to ask, Mu Qing wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't think that Li Qianyu glanced at him, and said one step ahead of him: "Do you know that Lord Liu's family has a grandchild who has entered the palace to run for election. ”

Mu Qing knew that he was talking about Liu Mengru, but he still made a thoughtful appearance, and then said: "I probably remember, I also met her once, and she is a lady." After speaking, Mu Qing blinked, "Brother Li asked me what I was doing?" Could it be that something has changed? ”

Li Qianyu took a sip of tea, swallowed it unhurriedly, and then stared at Mu Qing from head to toe for a while, until he looked at Mu Qing a little hairy before saying, "Then do you know that my father actually had the intention of promising her to you?" ”

Syllable.

There was a sound, it was the sound of Mu Qing accidentally throwing the tea cup directly on the table, and some water stains splashed directly on Mu Qing's cuffs. He reached out to wipe it in a little panic, Li Qianyu kindly handed him a Jinpa, Mu Qing took it, and his eyes secretly glanced at him.

I only saw that Li Qianyu's face was calm and waveless, and I couldn't see any expression
