"This is also a pastry, but I didn't eat it here before, it's very powdery, but this one is very glutinous and delicious."

"Xiao Mu, let's go back to the yafu early tomorrow morning, and then go to the palace together."

“？” He Mu looked at Chen Baifan with a questioning expression, "Don't you start from Lingshan?" ”

"Tomorrow, Senior Wan and Senior Murong will also go over together, and then we will go to the palace after we have worshipped."

"Okay, you just have to decide."

The next day, as soon as He Mu returned to the Yafu, Concubine Shu and the Imperial Grandmother sent people over before and after, but He Mu was called up by Xiaoqing as soon as he lay down, "Girl, Concubine Shu is here, and she is waiting for you in the main hall." ”

"Lady Lady?" He Mu sat up, "Who is Concubine Shuniang?" ”

"Miss Hui, it's Lord Chen's mother."

"Mother-in-law?" He Mu pondered for a while, "I know, you wait for me for a while, I'll put on some clothes and go over, by the way, Xiaoqing, you go to the kitchen and get the ice cream I just brought back from Lingshan." ”

"Yes, girl, you'll wait for me."

As soon as He Mu arrived in the main hall, he saw a woman sitting on the main seat, properly maintained, and it was impossible to tell that she was already forty years old, as if she was just a little girl in her twenties.

"This is Lord Chen's mother, Concubine Shu." Xiaoqing whispered in He Mu's ear.

After that, He Mu took Xiaoqing forward and saluted Concubine Shu. "Concubine Niangniang is well."

"Good boy, get up." Concubine Shu helped He Mu up and sat beside her.

Concubine Shu also secretly observed He Mu when she helped He Mu up, and heard that her eyes were invisible, but she wanted to see if it was.

He Mu also saw Concubine Shu's careful thoughts, "Concubine Shu, please forgive me, I didn't prepare anything to entertain you when Niangniang came suddenly, this is what I just made for Niangniang when I heard that Niangniang came over, and I don't know if it's delicious or not." Then Xiaoqing took something and put it in front of Concubine Shu, "Its name is ice cream, it's delicious, it's cold." Mother, do you try? ”

"Okay, let's give it a try?" Concubine Shu looked at He Mu with a curious face, He Mu nodded and handed the spoon next to Shu Fei, Concubine Shu took the spoon and dug a big bite and put it in her mouth, "Mmmm, it's so ice." Concubine Shu was so cold that Concubine Shu didn't dare to take the second bite, and her face was a little unhappy.

"Mother, you can't eat in such a hurry. Xiaoqing brought a glass of warm water. Xiaoqing turned around and poured a glass of warm water for Concubine Shu, and Concubine Niangniang drank the water to recover. Mother, is it much better? ”

"It's cold." Concubine Shuniang wanted to lose her temper very much, but it was the first time she met He Mu, but she didn't come here today for this matter. "It's okay in this palace, Menglin, bring things in."

"Yes. Empress. A crisp woman's voice came from outside, and then the palace maid named Meng Lin came in with a group of people carrying things, and Concubine Shu pulled He Mu to the side of the box, "Xiao Mu, these are congratulatory gifts from this palace, and this is what Grandmother Fan'er gave you last time." This has been in the courtyard of this palace for a long time, and you and Fan'er will get married tomorrow, so this palace will simply send it over today. There is a certain jade crown inside, we have a daughter-in-law's head crown since ancient times is a mother-in-law preparation tradition, today the palace also brought over, this is the palace to find ten generations of handicraft people, it took a few days to drive out! ”

He Mu looked at the crown and couldn't help touching her neck, she didn't need to wear it to feel that the thing in front of her weighed a thousand pounds.

The remaining big boxes, even if she didn't open them, she could guess that there were a lot of things in them, He Mu knelt on the ground, "Thank you for the reward from the Empress Dowager." ”

"Tomorrow is your big day, and the palace has already sent things over, so I won't bother you much, and the palace will go back to the palace first." After Concubine Shu picked He Mu up, she left with someone.

He Mu stood at the gate and watched the carriage from which Concubine Shu left, and did not retract his gaze until he was out of sight, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped.

"Second sister-in-law." Xu Min saw He Mu standing at the door from the car and stopped her, "The coachman stops." Xu Min got out of the carriage and came directly to He Mu's side, looking like he had a good relationship with He Mu, and wrapped He Mu's arm.

"Why are you here?" He Mu withdrew the hand he was holding, "I heard that you... ”

Xiaoqing looked at Xu Min who came over with a wary face, and she had an intuition that this was a bad person.

"Second sister-in-law, this matter has passed, and I have also explained to Brother Fan, I have to apologize to my second sister-in-law again for the previous incident." Xu Min knelt in front of He Mu, "Second sister-in-law, it was Xu Min who was ignorant and hurt the second sister-in-law, I hope that the second sister-in-law will ignore Xu Min's fault and forgive Xu Min." ”

"What are you doing here?" Xiaoqing protected He Mu, and Xiaoqing looked at Xu Min who was kneeling on the ground with a look of a bad person.

"Xiaoqing is fine," He Mu patted Xiaoqing to circle his hand, "You get up!" It's a busy city, and it's not good for you to be a cousin and a princess kneeling like this. ”

"Yes, yes, Xu Min is not sensible." Xu Min looked into the mansion, "What about Brother Fan?" I've got something to look for her. ”

"Back to the princess, your lord is not in the house if you have something, please tell your wife if you have something." Xiaoqing is very protective of He Mu.

"That's fine, it's okay to tell the second sister-in-law." Xu Min walked to the back of the carriage, "Hurry up, unload the things and move them to the house." ”

"Yes." Those people were stopped by Xiaoqing when they moved things from the car as if they were moving into the house.

"What are you going to do?" Xiaoqing stood at the door with her hands outstretched, stopping those people.

Those who were stopped by Xiaoqing looked at Xu Min in embarrassment, and Xu Min also came over at this time to explain, "Second sister-in-law, this is your grandmother's wedding gift for you and Brother Fan." ”

"Xiaoqing." He Mu looked at Xiaoqing and nodded, signaling Xiaoqing to give way.

In the evening, as soon as Chen Baifan returned to the house, he was pulled to the main hall by He Mu, He Mu pointed to the dozen or so big boxes and said to Chen Baifan, "This is from your mother, Shufei Niangniang, and the rest of these are from your grandmother." He Mu looked at the pile of things with a headache, "You can solve these!" I was scared when I looked at it. ”

"Scared? Why? Chen Baifan looked at He Mu with some amusement, "You just accept it and let you dispose of it." ”

“？ Do you know what's inside? "Disposition? What to do with it, if it's jewelry, how many heads she'll have to grow to run out, but if it's silver, she's definitely not too much. Thinking like this, He Mu was very happy in his heart. "I almost offended your mother today, and almost scared me to death, but fortunately she was tolerant and generous enough not to hold me accountable."

"The mother concubine has always been a gentle person, what have you done to make the mother concubine angry?" Chen Baifan looked like he was watching a play, and he was almost about to laugh.

He Mu was very unconvinced by Chen Baifan's gloating appearance, "You are still laughing, I just came back here during the day today, Xiaoqing came over to tell me that your mother is here, I thought that we will get married tomorrow, I have to go and see each other, and then I took the ice cream I made to entertain your mother, but I didn't expect to eat the first bite and stop eating, put these things down and left." I'm glad your mother didn't trouble me. ”

"Mother, she doesn't like to eat cold." Chen Baifan explained, "The mother concubine is sometimes very much like a child, she is very curious about everything, and she probably didn't expect it to be so icy. It's okay, the mother won't blame you. By the way, did the concubine send a tiara? ”

"Oh yes, here." He Mu got up and walked to a box and opened the lid at once, "Here." My lord, what should I do, I have a feeling that my head is going to break. ”

"You can come out with a few more things that are commonly used, and you can put the rest away, and you can get them when you need them."

“？ Why don't you take a look at it first? He Mu was very puzzled, how could he know what was inside without even looking at it?

"Haven't you seen it?" Chen Baifan also knew something when he saw He Mu's expression.

"I'm embarrassed to open it if you're not there."

"That's fine. Come, put these moves back into the princess's house. ”

"Yes."

"Mother?" Meng Lin looked at Concubine Shu who was sitting under the pavilion when she came back, and Meng Lin was very worried. "Niangniang, the time for this dinner has passed, and the slave will make another one for you."

"No need, I'm not hungry in this palace, Meng Lin came over to help me back to the house."

"It's a sissy." Meng Lin helped Concubine Shu up, "Niangniang, you have been frowning since you saw the princess come back, but what's the matter?" ”

Concubine Shu shook her head, "This palace doesn't know what's going on, so I haven't eaten or eaten all the time, and I have no appetite." ”

"Mother, what bad things have you eaten? How so? ”

"Don't think about it, tomorrow is the National Day ceremony and the day of the wedding of Fan'er, so I have to rest early tonight."

"Yes, yes, it's the slave who didn't think it through."

As soon as Xu Min returned to the palace, he ran to the imperial grandmother's house, "Mama Zhang, is grandmother in the house?" ”

"It's the princess who is here, and the queen mother is waiting for you in the house without eating." As soon as Mama Zhang came out, she saw Xu Min and saluted her. "Come in, princess!"

"Is Min'er back?" The imperial grandmother also heard Xu Min's voice. "Min'er come in, they just finished the dishes, come and eat with the mourning family."

"Yes, grandmother."

Murong Sanniang looked for He Mu for a long time, and quickly turned the yafu over, and was about to dig three feet into the ground to find someone, when she saw Xiaoqing who was busy working, Murong Sanniang walked over and stared at Xiaoqing, "Your name is Xiaoqing!" Xiaoqing was almost frightened, and nodded after seeing that it was He Mu's aunt. Do you know where the dead head is? ”

"The girl is in the hall with Tatsu-sama now. Seniors, but there is something wrong with the girl? ”

"Yes, that dead girl often told me about you, I thought you were so smart, but I didn't expect to be so confused."

"Senpai?" Xiaoqing was almost said to cry.

"Go and call that dead girl back, don't meet with Lord Chen again, the two of them have been together on the eve of the wedding."

"However, Lord Gangchen said to ignore this."
