After Empress Fuxu fell asleep, the sisters went out of the room together.

The summer is hot, and the cicadas in the depths of the bamboo forest are crying happily.

When Bai Mengluo heard the sound, his eyebrows furrowed, and he folded a bamboo branch casually.

"Tan'er, go to the pavilion and wait for me, the queen mother is happy and quiet, these cicadas are afraid that they will disturb the purity of Fengyi Palace."

Zhu Zhu helped her to sit down in the octagonal pavilion beside her.

Bai Mengluo's bright eyes looked at the bamboo tips, her toes were as light as a swallow flying on the bamboo tips, the slender bamboo branches were in her hands, dancing like clouds and water, and she was shuttling back and forth between the bamboo forests in a red dress.

In the depths of the green bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves were scattered, the forest rustled, and countless black cicadas were knocked to the ground, and the whole bamboo forest suddenly seemed to rain bamboo cicada leaves.

"Unexpectedly, the second princess's skills are really powerful." Zhuzhu stroked her palms and laughed and praised.

Bai Mengtan's face was full of sorrow, there were so many insects, how should she leave?

But since the second emperor sister likes it, then let her be.

Inside the Fengyi Palace.

Queen Xu woke up in a dream, her pale face, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, she coughed violently a few times, blood gushed out from between her white lips, and the goose down brocade quilt on the bed was dyed red.

The little maid beside the bed was so frightened that she was about to cry.

"Queen, the slave maid is going to call the imperial doctor."

"This matter must not alarm the people in the palace, especially the third princess." Empress Xu commanded weakly.

The little maid nodded vigorously.

The queen's body is getting weaker and weaker, if the queen has three long and two short, I don't know, whether she can meet such a kind master again.

These days, with the company of the second imperial sister, life in the palace has added a lot of fun.

It's just that in the fun, it's best to be less frightened.

After all, the second emperor sister has a bold temperament, and she is also resolute in what she does. It's those who dance knives and guns, Bai Mengtan looks at her white and tender, thin arms and legs, any weapon can make her unbearable, sigh and say Let's spare her!

"Three princesses, three princesses."

Seeing Zhuzhu carrying an emerald Luo skirt, she ran to her with a smile.

Bai Mengtan is now a head two big.

Waving his hand, "Zhuzhu, the second emperor sister will come again today, you help me tell her that I am ill, let her come back another day." ”

Zhuzhu pursed her lips, she knew that her master, the recent relationship with the second princess, can be said to be intimate, the second princess has any delicious food, fun will also be counted as the first time master.

It's just that these two princesses are too capable of tossing people, and their own masters have been pampered since childhood, so they naturally can't afford to toss.

But what she wants to report is not the second princess's business.

"Third princess, what the slave wants to talk about is Xixiang's business."

Xixiang, Bai Mengtan cheered up, beckoned Zhuzhu to his ear, and sent away the handmaidens around him.

"Has she been up lately?" With Xixiang, she is the bargaining chip she uses to deal with Xiao Guifei and Bai Mengsha, and Bai Mengtan naturally has to take it to heart.

"In the past few days, Xixiang seems to be short of silver, and the rouge gouache sold from Sha Yazhai is twice as high as usual, and many palace maids are dissatisfied, but it is still cheaper than what is sold outside." Zhuzhu told the truth about what she had heard.

Bai Mengtan rolled his beautiful eyes, patted Zhuzhu's round shoulders generously, and took out a stack of thick silver tickets.

"Zhuzhu, these are all for you to buy rouge gouache, Xixiang can buy as much as he has in his hand, and the price is uncertain."

Zhu Zhu took the thick silver ticket, her eyes were bigger than the pancakes, and her small mouth was almost closed.

Stammered, "Three princesses...... All of these are ...... Coming to buy rouge gouache? ”

Bai Mengtan nodded affirmatively.

"Not only do you have to buy all the rouge gouache in Xixiang's hands, but you also have to have a good relationship with her, and you can help her as much as you can with whatever she needs."

Zhuzhu was a little blindsided by Bai Mengtan's words. "Xixiang is the person in the hands of the eldest princess, why should you be nice to her?"

Bai Mengtan hated that iron could not become steel, and shook her head at Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu was too simple to suffer with her in her previous life.

"If the eldest sister is really good to her, can she sell Sha Ya Zhai's things in private? Good birds choose trees to perch, and whoever is beneficial to themselves will naturally choose whom. Bai Mengtan held a cup of tea in his hand and moistened his throat.

This tea is good, and I will bring some to the prince's brother later.

"I see." Zhuzhu suddenly realized, "Third princess, you can rest assured that the slave will definitely handle this matter." ”

Although Zhuzhu is not very smart, what to do and what not to do can be grasped in place.

It's just that Xixiang is the chief maid in the palace, and her monthly salary is not small, not counting the master's reward on weekdays, and the filial piety of the palace maids and eunuchs under her rank. Isn't that enough money for her to squander?

Bai Mengtan pondered.

Bitter and there is no one under her, she can't even inquire about this little thing.

At this time, she ordered the imperial dining room in advance, and the mashed potatoes were served. The chopped mashed potatoes, golden in color, melt in the mouth, and are served with sesame oil and a little chopped green onion, which can be said to be a delicacy in the world.

During this time, in order to let His Majesty the future emperor recommend John to the palace before his father's birthday, she changed her tricks to send him delicious food, serving tea and pouring water, grinding ink and laying paper...... As long as she is free, she will curry favor with her brother and son.

But mostly, Shizi's brother has an ugly face, it really seems that she owes him a hundred taels of silver, no.

Even so, she believes that a drop of water can pierce a stone, not to mention that now she still needs the help of Shizi's brother.

So she was holding on to her thighs.

Stepping on small broken steps, humming a little song, Bai Mengtan walked happily into the Yanbei Shizi Courtyard.

The originally depressed courtyard, under the care of Sanshi, rows of quiet and quiet green potted plants look vibrant.

took out a string of red sugar gourds from the food box, and Bai Mengtan shouted in a sweet and glutinous voice! A young man on the side of the road who is carefully pruning the branches and leaves.

"Three stones, rock sugar gourd."

Seeing that his favorite, the rock sugar gourd, was thrown into the air, Sanshi jumped up and flew up in a dashing manner, and quickly took the rock sugar gourd into his hand.

Sanshu, who was holding a pot of tea, turned his head in shame, since the third princess discovered Sanshi's only preference, this kid nodded to the third princess.

At the beginning, it was clear that the unanimous agreement with the outside world would inevitably drive the three princesses out of the other courtyard, but I didn't expect him to be the first person to abandon his weapons and surrender.

Bai Mengtan knew that Mitsuki was dissatisfied with herself, but who told her to cook the food that was really delicious! Compared with the imperial kitchen in the palace, it is all the same.

The most important thing is that they are all the people of the prince's brother, and pleasing them is equivalent to pleasing the prince's brother.

Bai Mengtan trotted towards the three trees standing on the clear stone, and the hollowed-out silver bell on her waist accompanied her as she ran, making a tinkling sound.

Miki bowed his head and saluted, "Three princesses." ”

Bai Mengtan gasped slightly, and took out a beautiful box from his arms.

"This is a rouge box, but I have made a slight improvement, although it is small, but there are three layers inside, the first layer is rouge, the second layer is gouache, and the third layer is lipstick, and I have a small brush for each layer, and it will definitely not mix colors."

Bai Mengtan put down the food box and fiddled with the boxes in her hand one by one, on the back of the box she also had small lenses with a mirror in the palm of her hand, which she had nothing to do, and put together the objects she would see in another time and space.

Although Sanshu is naturally beautiful, she doesn't seem to have used rouge gouache, as the saying goes, three parts of beauty, seven parts of dress, that there are women who don't love beauty.

"Third princess, why do you ask the slave to look at this object?" Sanshu can avoid these three princesses.

"I'm sending you!" Bai Mengtan wanted to stuff the rouge box into Sanshu's hand, but when she saw her holding the plate with an empty hand, she simply put it on the plate.

smiled and revealed two sweet dimples, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Sanshu held the hand of the plate, trembling slightly, staring at the small and delicate rouge box on the plate.

She has been trained as a secret guard by the lord of Yanbei since she was a child, except for killing, she can't do anything other than cooking.

It's not that she hasn't longed for the day to be able to do red makeup in the mirror like an ordinary woman.

But she's not an ordinary woman! Those ideas can only become extravagant hopes.

"Please, the third princess will take back the rouge box, slave maid...... It won't work. ”

"It's simple, I won't teach you!" Bai Mengtan said generously.

Miki's eye sockets gradually reddened.

"Since people don't want it, why don't you give it to the third princess, and I can take it to coax the beautiful girl."

A man dressed in a white ink painting robe flew over the rouge box on the plate unceremoniously.
