After Ling Ruo heard this, she only said lightly, "If she wants to kneel, just kneel, don't pay attention to it, when she can't stand it anymore, she will naturally leave." But there is one thing, you go to check, during this time, whether Mo'er is in Xinzheku or the Knitting Bureau. ”

"The slave is here to inquire." Shui Yue answered the sentence and left, after she left, Ling Ruo wrapped all the crystal shrimp dumplings and served them in a steamer, steamed four cages, except for one cage for Hongli, the remaining three cages were sent to Yinzhen, Hongday, and Hanyan respectively.

When Ling Ruo came out of the small kitchen, there was already a wind outside, and the sky was dark and oppressive, which was a precursor to rain, and across the palace courtyard, Mo Ershang could be seen kneeling at the door. For this dead-eyed girl, Ling Ruo had no better way to do it, so he could only ignore it for the time being.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and leaden black clouds could be seen in the dark sky, and from time to time the sound of muffled thunder rolling across the sky could be heard, and it seemed that this rain would be very heavy.

When there was a lightning flash in the black clouds, Shui Yue came back from outside and said to Ling Ruo, who was practicing calligraphy, with a little surprise: "Master, the slave has asked, Mo Er is actually in the Xin Scholar Library these days. ”

Although he had already guessed this possibility, when he really heard it from Shui Yue's mouth, Ling Ruo's wrist couldn't help but shake, making the words in his pen flawed. Without waiting for her to command, Shui Xiu had already taken away the waste paper and re-laid it on the rice paper.

"Is it for what is the Dao of Knowledge?" Shui Xiu asked in a low voice, she was obviously ordered by her master to take the silver to the head of the Internal Affairs Office that day, and asked him to arrange a good errand for Mo'er, how could she be reduced to Xinzheku, that place is not for people.

"I asked, and the general manager said that the people under him accidentally made a mistake about Mo Er's errand with another palace maid, but fortunately it was found out, otherwise Mo Er is only afraid that he will still suffer in Xinzheku."

"Is it such a coincidence?" Looking at the snow-white paper, Ling Ruo had no desire to put down the pen, put the Zihao pen in his hand on the pen holder, got up and walked a few steps and said, "What about that Zhilan, have you inquired?" ”

Shui Yue almost didn't remember who Zhilan was, and shook her head after a while: "This slave didn't ask, why don't you go again?" ”

While he was talking, it crackled and rained outside, and a drop of rain the size of a bean fell from the sky, smashing on the eaves with a great sound; Soon the rain began to fall heavily, turning into a downpour.

Ling Ruo ignored Shui Yue, but said to Shui Xiu, "Let's see if Mo Er is still kneeling." "For some reason, my heart is a little irritated for no reason.

Shui Xiu walked to the south window and opened a small half of the door, at this moment the sky was dark, he couldn't see his five fingers, and he couldn't see the situation outside clearly, just as Shui Xiu was about to go out to see what was going on, a lightning bolt broke through the darkness, making Shui Xiu see the trembling figure at the gate of the palace. Shui Xiu himself just stood in the house with a charcoal basin and opened the window for a while and felt chills all over his body, Mo Er knelt there uncovered and drenched in the rain, the cold can be imagined.

"Master, Mo'er is still kneeling there." After Shui Xiu replied, she pleaded quite reluctantly: "Master, Mo Er seems to have sincerely repented this time, why don't you give her another chance?" ”

Mo Er's persistence, even Shui Yue was startled, and after confirming Shui Xiu's words, she also said with some hesitation: "Master, the slave has never read any books, but she also knows that mistakes can be changed, and you are very good. ”

If it were in the past, Shui Xiu and Shui Yue pleaded like this, Ling Ruo might have forgiven Mo'er, after all, she had even forgiven Yilan who had hurt her three or four times. But this time, Ling Ruo always felt that things were not simple, so he never let go.

After all, Shui Xiu and Shui Yue had been with Ling Ruo for many years, and seeing her uncertain expression, they glanced at each other and asked in a low voice, "Master, but what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Ling Ruo thought for a while and said: "You go and persuade Mo'er to stop kneeling, otherwise this heavy rain will fall, and she will get sick if she is not sick." ”

"Master, is there really no room for turning this matter around?" Shui Xiu didn't expect his master to be so resolute this time.

"More is better than less." Ling Ruo sighed lightly, "This time, let Quan Zhong not make a mistake again, otherwise beware of his position as the head of the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Shui Xiu went for a while and came back, even if it was only for a while, even if she was supported by an umbrella, her body was still wet for most of her body, leaving wet footprints on the ground. Shui Xiu's teeth trembled from the cold, and she came to her senses after a while next to the charcoal basin, and said helplessly: "Master, the slave and maid have already said what they should say, but Mo'er just refuses to get up, the slave and the maid really can't help it, and the slave and maid look at her, and they are about to be unbearable." ”

Mo Er's persistence made her powerless, so she could only let Ling Ruo make up her mind, whether to let her kneel down or let her in.

"This Mo Er who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" Ling Ruo scolded lightly, and he didn't know whether he was angry or angry, but he saw that the pair of beautiful eyebrows were frowning, and it was difficult to dissolve. When he was in distress, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear, "The slave greets Concubine Xi." ”

Because Shui Xiu didn't close the door of the temple when he came in, he could see at a glance that Sixi was standing at the door at some point, with a courteous smile on his face.

"Why did my father-in-law come here at this time, but he was all wet, come in and warm up." Following Ling Ruo's words, Sixi walked in, only to see that the clothes on his body were a little wetter than Zhi Shuixiu, and his whole body was full of cool air.

"Thank you, mother." Sixi came in with a small box, and after warming up a little, he said: "The emperor used the crystal shrimp dumplings made by the mother himself, saying that they are fresh and smooth, and I like them very much." I wanted to come to see Niangniang in person, but the military was busy and I couldn't get out, so I specially asked the slave to send something to Niangniang. ”

"Oh? What is it? With a little curiosity, Ling Ruo opened the wooden box handed by Sixi, opened it and took a look, only to see a slender bloodstone seal inside, and after printing it in his palm, he could see that there were three words engraved at the bottom of the seal - Concubine Xi's seal.

When Ling Ruo was stunned by the words on the seal, Sixi smiled and said: "Slaves often see the emperor carving a few knives in addition to reviewing the chapter, but they don't know what is engraved, and now they know that it was engraved by Niangniang." ”

Ling Ruo slowly pinched the seal in his hand and said gratefully: "The emperor has a heart, please ask my father-in-law to thank the emperor for the palace." ”

"The slave can save it, and the slave will go back to the emperor to give his order." Sixi smiled and agreed, and when he was about to step out of the threshold, he suddenly turned around and said, "Forgive the slave for asking more, what mistake did the person kneeling outside make, and the mother wants to punish him like this?" "He didn't see it when he came in and almost tripped over it, only to realize that it was a person.

"That's Mo'er." Ling Ruo said what happened just now in a deep voice, and Sixi also shook his head for a while, this girl is really persistent and speechless.

Sixi didn't want to be nosy, but when he passed by Mo Er's side, he couldn't help but stop.
