Yongshou Palace

Gong Ling stepped forward again and said with a gentle smile: "I also ask this grandmother to spread the word for my master."

I saw that this grandmother looked straight ahead, and replied in a stiff voice: "It's better to ask Master Yuan to wait for a reply from inside" Gong Ling didn't know what to say, looked inside, and didn't see a familiar palace maid, sighed and returned to Su Mu, and said, "Miss, we're waiting."

Su Mu was helpless, and said with a wry smile: "It's back to the point where the Queen Mother doesn't want to see her." ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Mama Juju came out with two little eunuchs and ordered: "How did you do the errand, the fragrance in this wax oil is so pungent, the Queen Mother doesn't like warm incense the most, hurry up and go to the small warehouse to change it." ”

The two little eunuchs trembled with fright, and the one on the left said with a sad face: "Mama Ju forgives, it was the queen mother who specially instructed to add spices, and the slave didn't dare to misunderstand the queen's intentions." ”

Mama Juju's face became even more stern, and said: "Don't make excuses, I didn't do my job well, and I also launched the queen mother, do you want to enter the Shen Criminal Division." ”

Frightened, the two little eunuchs knelt on the ground and begged for Mama Ju's forgiveness, Mama Ju shook her head and said, "Don't go soon!" ”

The two little eunuchs immediately rushed away. Mama Ju said to herself: "I have the opportunity to enter the Yongshou Palace as an errand but I don't cherish it." With that, he turned and entered the main hall.

Su Mu waited for a long time, and called: "Mama Ju! ”

Mama Ju turned around and walked over, bent her knees to say hello, Su Mu helped Ju up with both hands, and said with a smile, "From time to time, I hear laughter coming from inside, and I know that the Queen Mother's spirit is good." I don't know if Mama Juju can pass it on to me. Say hello to the Queen Mother. ”

Mama Ju kept smiling and listened to Su Mu's words. It is also the face does not change color, and the eyes are slightly relaxed. As if thinking, he said slowly, "There is already a communication division for the master of the yuan, and the master of the yuan is waiting here." He said that he was blessed, and went back.

Gong Ling's master and servant were still in place, and Gong Wen sighed: "I think this banquet is about to end, it seems that the Queen Mother is not going to invite the young lady to the banquet." Why don't we go back first, your body can't be called this night wind. ”

Su Mu looked at the back of Mama Juju and said, "If you can't enter the Yongshou Palace today, you will lose your morality tomorrow." In the future, problems will follow, and those who have a heart will use the queen to deal with me. ”

Gong Ling's brows couldn't help frowning, and said, "Miss, you shouldn't destroy that evidence, spare Shi and agree." ”

Su Mu lengthened his neck slightly, and called softly, "If it is inconvenient for Mama Juju to pass it on to me, you will tell Zhang Ningye that the emperor will naturally invite me in." ”

Mama Ju turned around. Looking at Su Mu hesitantly, he turned around and walked into the main hall.

Gong Ling tightened the fox fur cloak for Su Mu, and said with concern: "Don't feel the wind chill after standing for a long time." Su Mu stood there motionless, his eyes fixed on the reddened floor tiles illuminated by the lantern.

Gong Ling saw it. added a sad look, "I don't know if Mama Juju will pass it on for Miss." ”

Su Mu closed his eyes, took a big breath, and said, "Although she didn't agree, she will definitely pass it on." Zhang Ningye must also pass it on, it depends on the emperor's meaning. ”

Gong Ling clasped her hands. From time to time, I will see if anyone comes out, and my heart is full of thoughts.

Inside the Eternal Longevity Palace

The Queen Mother has guessed more than ten riddles one after another. The ensuing reward also followed, and at this moment it was Shi Shuyi's turn to come up with the question, Shi Shuyi saluted the Queen Mother, and said, "The front has a poisonous clip, and the back is a tail, and the whole body is twenty-one sections, and the medicine shop can be sought, and the concubine This is a lantern riddle and an animal." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Regardless of the master and servant present, as long as they are the first to guess correctly, they will be rewarded." All the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground to thank them, and everyone was in a group of two, three in a group, and discussed, but except for the red people around the master, the rest of the people consciously did not participate, and they were all busy with their own affairs.

Mama Ju called Zhang Ningye and whispered: "The Yuan master has been waiting outside for a long time, the queen mother has not yet passed on, and the queen mother has no time to take care of the head, so I will report on behalf of the Yuan master." ”

Zhang Ningye smiled, looked at it and replied, "I'm tired of you, I'll pass the word." ”

Mama Ju smiled and returned to the queen mother's back.

Zhang Ningye walked to Hongren's side with a smile and whispered. Hongren nodded without changing his face.

Casually, Zhang Ningye shook the dust and went down the steps and walked out of the side door.

"It's Gonggong Zhang" Gong Ling caressed Su Mu and took a few steps forward, first looking forward to a savior, and joy hung on his face.

Zhang Ningye bowed and said: "It's all the slaves who have neglected to overlook, I don't know that the master is here, the master will quickly follow the slaves to the table."

Su Mu said with a smile: "It's not the Qianqing Palace, but there is Lao Zhang's father-in-law." ”

Zhang Ningye dared to accept the thanks, and hurriedly replied: "Master Yuan is polite, it is the slave's business. After that, Zhang Ningye led the way, and said: "The inside is facing the lantern riddle, I think it is the strength of the master, but you can pinch it with your hands."

Su Mu asked with a little interest: "The Queen Mother also likes this trick." ”

Zhang Ningye replied while leading the way: "Isn't it, just look at the Queen Mother's reward, the Queen Mother's favorite purple wood meal box on weekdays has been rewarded, probably the Yuan master doesn't know how much the Queen Mother likes that meal box, and the sweets after lunch every day are loaded with this meal box, and it is picked up by Mother Ju herself, I'm afraid that other slaves will break it, and the Queen Mother can eat more when she looks at the food picker box." ”

The Queen Mother was born noble, everything is exquisite, and the meal must not only be complete with color and flavor, but also the utensils used to hold the meal must also have "color and fragrance".

Su Mu listened attentively and said with a smile: "It seems that the dining box is very exquisite, and the Queen Mother will use it for meals." ”

Zhang Ningye recalled slightly: "It is common for that box slave to serve the emperor when he is serving, as Master Yuan said, it is very exquisite. ”

Su Mu wanted to ask about the style of the dining box, but the queen mother rewarded the master, and in a blink of an eye, he had already walked into the hall for a long time, and he came to the seat after the screen, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he entered the table, and was under Concubine Zhen.

The joy of everyone's conversation, on the surface, it seems that they didn't see Su Mu at the table, but the unfriendliness in their eyes can't be erased. Liu Xiyan immediately lowered his face, and his happiness was gone. He stood up from his seat and rested his hands on the dining table. Cocking his chin, he said with a little arrogance and disdain: "I have a lantern riddle here, I don't know if the master of the concubine dares to take it." ”

Momentary silence.

Her eyes were all on Su Mu's body, and Concubine Zhen held her hands in her heart, worried about Su Mu.

Su Mu smiled at Shihan, so that he didn't have to be nervous, it was just a riddle, Su Muwen smiled: "Liu Guiren, please speak." ”

Seeing Su Mu's calmness, Shihan relieved himself, thinking that Liu Guiren couldn't help Su Mu. Liu Xiyan magnified her smile. There was hostility in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The red crown and green body are eye-catching, although they are colorful thin shirts on both sides, they are all bad." ”

This lantern riddle is common, but the eunuchs and palace maids present all know the riddle, and after Liu Xiyan finished talking about the riddle, he was even more silent, which was obviously insulting Su Mu, and Su Mu still kept smiling.

Shi Shuyi laughed out loud and broke the silence and said, "Really look." The master of the concubine happened to be wearing a turquoise palace robe, and the swallowtail was inserted with a red water stone the size of a soybean grain, but this colorful thin shirt was unknown. ”

Su Muwan said, "Flies, the lantern riddles made by Liu Guiren are flies." ”

Shi Shuyi's face instantly turned bloodless. It was very pale, and Su Mu almost grabbed the beat of Shi Shuyi's speech and rushed to tell the mystery, which was called Shi Shuyi's deliberate direct landing. It's really idle and pretentious.

Busy said, "The concubine is really different from the lantern riddle. I also hope that the master of the concubine will forgive the concubine's unintentionality. ”

Su Mu got up and followed the empty way to give a salute, helped Shi Shuyi up, and said softly: "Shi promised to love and practice calligraphy only on weekdays. Naturally, I am not familiar with poetic riddles. ”

Shi Shuyi continued her false smile, Shi Han saw that her whole body was uncomfortable, and said with a hint of frustration: "Although Concubine Yuan doesn't care, Shi promised not to be incensed by the spices of the lantern and forget her position." ”

Shi Shuyi reasoned and replied in a low voice, "Yes." He sat quietly in his seat.

Liu Menglu's eyelids glanced at Shi Shuyi, angry that she shouldn't boast of being smart, and said for her: "The riddle that Fang Cai Shi promised is good, what is the riddle." ”

Shi Shuyi saw that the Queen Mother also looked at him, and came to the spirit again, and said, "It's a centipede." ”

The Queen Mother let out a meaningful "oh" and said, "Reward"

Shi Shuyi was busy thanking her, Shi Han looked at Su Mu and then at the emperor, both of them stared at each other, and said with a smile, "Concubine Yuan came late, and Concubine Yuan is guessing a riddle." ”

When the Queen Mother learned of Shi Shuyi's riddle, she was reminiscing, nodded happily, and Shihan smiled again, "Then the emperor will ask the question, and the concubine will answer." ”

When she heard that it was the emperor who made the lantern riddle, even the virtuous concubine who was sitting on the side and didn't say a word was also jealous.

Once again, there was silence.

The corners of Liu Menglu's mouth curled up with a smile, and as Hongren opened his mouth, he disappeared in an instant, and Hongren said lightly, "Emperor"

Su Mu immediately replied: "The white jade is flawless. After a quick answer, Su Mu reacted to the riddle, and instantly felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Hongren. The Queen Mother lamented in her heart, but unfortunately no matter what, Su Mu is white and flawless in my son's heart. My son's dear.

Su Mu looked at a food box on Liu Menglu's dining table, and thought that it was the food box that Zhang Ningye was talking about, and the appearance of the purple wood hollow was really exquisite.

Su Mu retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "The concubine also has a riddle, and I bother to ask the queen to break it." ”

Although Liu Menglu said that she was full of poetry and books, she still muttered in her heart when she met Su Mu, but seeing Su Mu's gentle smile, she didn't see any trouble, so she said, "The lantern riddle from the concubine, this palace is not harmful, just the Empress Dowager Bo smiled." ”

Su Mufu was blessed, and his voice was like a spring breeze in March: "Whoever carries two sleeves of cigarettes in the court, there is always no chance in the piano side." Xiao Chip does not need to be reported by the chicken, and there is no trouble for the maid for five nights. Jiaoshou is still twilight, and the heart is tormented day after day. Time flies and must be cherished, and the wind and rain are subject to change

Liu Menglu's clenched hand in her sleeve was released, and her heart also fell, and she smiled and said, "More fragrant"

The Queen Mother nodded, took off the golden silk inlaid treasure plate dragon hairpin on her head, and rewarded it to Su Mu, Su Mu was flattered, and was busy leaving the table and kneeling down to the palace, kneeling down to thank him.

Liu Menglu's smile was a little stiff, Shi Shuyi saw it, the opportunity was rare, and said, "Speaking of more fragrant, the queen mother specially prepared for the queen mother today is more fragrant, it is really fragrant, and my sisters and I will be drunk." ”

Su Mu lowered his eyes with a smile.

Not to mention that it's okay, listening to Shi Shuyi's words, the Queen Mother felt that this spice was too rich, and her prickly head was dizzy, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hands, as if she was a little uncomfortable.

The crowd was terrified. (To be continued......)
