"Ahh Hearing Sixi's voice, Mo'er's whole person was about to jump up, this is really not to talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night, she hasn't even said it, Sixi really appeared, and stammered: "You...... Why are you here? ”

"Why can't I be here?" Sixi was asked inexplicably by her, this is the road for people to walk and it is not the bedroom of any lady who can't enter at will, "What's the matter with you, it's like hell, does our family look so terrifying?" “

Mo Er secretly said that he was too nervous, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he swallowed his saliva and said to himself: "I...... I'm asking you why it happens to be here? This is the way to Chengqian Palace. ”

"This one!" Sixi shook off the dust in his hand and explained: "Our family was ordered by the emperor to see if Concubine Xi has returned to the palace, if she returns to the palace, she will go to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

"Oh, I see." Mo Er nodded and glanced at the road, "Master, they are still behind, I think they should arrive in a while." ”

"Then we'll wait here for a while." After saying this, Sixi remembered Mo Er's abnormality just now, "Hey, Mo girl, you haven't told our family what they're thinking?" ”

"No, nothing!" As soon as he said this, Mo Er's face suddenly turned red, and he shook his head nervously, as if he had no silver three hundred taels here.

Her appearance made Sixi more and more curious, "You girl, lie in front of our family, come and listen, and our family can help you come up with ideas." ”

Mo Er was anxious by his question, and said with some annoyance: "It's okay to say it, although you are not a man, don't ask the bottom line like a woman, okay?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Mo Er knew that something was wrong, wasn't she clearly sarcastic about Sixi like this? Sure enough, Sixi's face changed, and he suddenly became silent, which also made the originally harmonious atmosphere between the two people strange.

Mo Er bit his lip, gently pulled Sixi's sleeve, and whispered, "Father-in-law, I'm sorry, I'...... I didn't mean that, don't be angry. Seeing that Sixi still didn't speak, she was a little anxious, "Otherwise, or you scold me, I promise not to talk back!" I don't know what to do, Sixi didn't speak, and Mo Er felt very flustered.

"There's nothing wrong with our family." Sixi smiled reluctantly and said: "Our family knows better than anyone else, you are not a man in the first place, you are just telling the truth, what is there to be angry about, there is nothing to do, don't take it to heart." ”

The more he said that there was nothing wrong, the more Mo Er felt that something was wrong, and he had to explain a few more words of comfort, Ling Ruo had already arrived, and when he saw Sixi there, he suddenly said, "Is Father-in-law Xi coming to see the palace?" ”

Sixi hurriedly stepped forward and beat Qian'er, got rid of the embarrassment and said: "If you go back to Niangniang, the slave is ordered by the emperor to ask Niangniang to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace immediately after returning to the palace." ”

As soon as he returned to the palace, Yinzhen asked Sixi to come over and invite him, is there something urgent? Ling Ruo was strange in his heart, but said in his mouth: "This palace knows the way, so let you go, Shui Xiu, you accompany this palace over, Shui Yue, you can go back to Chengqian Palace." ”

Mo Er looked at Sixi's smiling face, and blurted out in a hurry: "The slave also wants to go with the master." ”

"You?" Ling Ruo was a little strange about Mo Er's automatic invitation, but she didn't ask anything in detail, as long as the people below did not exceed their due duties, she would let go, after all, there were enough rules in this palace, and she didn't want to artificially restrain them.

In this way, Mo Er and Shui Xiu accompanied Ling Ruo to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when they got there, they saw Su Peisheng guarding outside, and when they saw Ling Ruo coming, they stepped forward to salute, Ling Ruo motioned for him to go in and report, but Su Peisheng said with a smile: "The emperor has instructed that Niangniang can come and go in directly, and there is no need to inform separately." It's just that the two maids of the mother are inconvenient to enter. ”

Now that the Nian clan has lost power, the queen has never been favored by Yinzhen, and Ling Ruo, who is a concubine and occupies all the favor, has the potential to become the first person in the harem. Right now, when all the servants in the palace saw Ling Ruo, they were all smiling and respectful, even Su Peisheng was no exception. This shows how fierce the wind in the palace is with the high and low.

"This palace knows that there is a father-in-law of Lao Su." Ling Ruo bowed her head, she has always been polite and preferential to Su Peisheng and Sixi, and never put on the shelf of the harem's favorite concubine. For no one knows if one day she will need to ask them. In the palace, anything is possible. Just like Nian's, who would have thought that she would suddenly fall out of favor and be demoted to a permanent presence.

Ling Ruo was about to enter when he happened to see two little eunuchs carrying a wooden barrel in the sun, Ling Ruo knew that such a wooden barrel was used to hold ice, and there were at least six or seven large pieces of ice in it. Sure enough, after the two little eunuchs came over, after Chong Lingruo and the others gave a salute, they said to Su Peisheng: "Father-in-law Su, the minions have sent ice." ”

Su Peisheng frowned slightly and said, "The emperor has ordered, from today onwards, the Heart Cultivation Palace does not need to send ice over, take it back." ”

"Ahh The two little eunuchs were suddenly a little dumbfounded when they heard this, they sweated profusely, and finally arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, but they were told that they would be carried back as they were.

Seeing them standing still, Su Peisheng was unhappy, "Ah, what, don't go back quickly, otherwise the ice in the bucket will melt, and you two can't afford it, later, our family will go over and inform the head of the Ministry of Industry and the head of your Internal Affairs Office." ”

"Whew, the minions obey!" The two little eunuchs didn't dare to fight with Su Peisheng, so they could only sigh in their hearts, gritted their teeth and continued to carry the wooden barrel weighing dozens of catties back with their sour arms.

Ling Ruo looked coldly at Su Peisheng and scolded the two little eunuchs, he and Sixi were both on an errand in front of Yinzhen, and their abilities were similar, but when it came to treating others, it was Sixi who eased up a lot.

However, if Ling didn't know how to say these words, Su Peisheng had nothing to do with her about others, as long as she didn't open her eyes.

In such thoughts, she said with a little strangeness: "Father-in-law Su, why didn't the emperor let people send ice, on such a hot day, how can you stand it without ice cubes to cool down and relieve the heat?" ”

Su Peisheng sighed helplessly and said, "Which one said no, it's just that the emperor ordered it, how dare the minions not listen." ”

Sixi didn't know about this matter, thinking that he had just ordered it, and asked, "Do you know what Lu Dao is for?" ”

Su Peisheng pointed to the sky under the scorching sun, and said depressedly: "If you want to blame this thief, God blame it, for so many days, the sun has not rained well, which has caused the water volume of the rivers in the capital and nearby areas to decrease sharply, and there are already ministers who have said that there is no drinking water under their jurisdiction, and they have to transport water from dozens of miles away, and then let the people come to fetch it, one person can only ask for a pot of water at most, which is only enough to reduce thirst, and the place where the water is transported is not much water, and it can't last for a few days, if it doesn't go down, you can only go to a farther place to transport water, this time and again, Not to mention the time, even the carriage and horse have to spend a lot of taels of silver. When the emperor saw this excerpt just now, he was moved by compassion, summoned me in, and asked me to pass on the word to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so as to eliminate the daily use of ice in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and send the ice cubes into water to the state capital where there is no water available, so as to solve the urgent need. Now the water in the palace is also brought in from outside, but no one knows about it. ”
