This morning, when Hongli was having breakfast, he suddenly said that he wanted to eat crystal shrimp dumplings, and it happened that Ling Ruo had nothing to do, so he wanted to make them for Hongli to eat.

The most laborious thing about shrimp dumplings is the skin, which should be as white as snow and as thin as paper, and it is good to be able to clearly see the things behind the skin at a glance. Ling Ruo took a lot of effort to roll out dozens of skins. When the stuffing is almost marinated, it begins to wrap it in the crystal skin one by one.

When he was busy with work, Nanqiu walked in, and said with a somewhat strange face: "Master, Mo Er is outside, I want to see my master, and I say that I have something important to say." ”

"Mo'er?" Ling Ruo stopped what he was doing, and there was confusion in his eyes, "Do you know what is the matter with the Dao?" "Since the last time she drove Mo Er out of Chengqian Palace, she hasn't appeared again, how could she suddenly appear Gu again.

The slave asked her, but she said she would not be able to say until she met her master. Nanqiu wanted to pass on the word for Mo Er, but she couldn't stop her from begging bitterly, and she was the person she had brought with her, so she was a little affectionate, so she reluctantly agreed.

Ling Ruo didn't say anything for a while, but Shui Yue said: "Master, the slave maid saw her with Gonggong Xu of Yikun Palace during the day, as if she was a little familiar. ”

"Oh?" Ling Ruowei raised her eyebrows, and after contemplating for a moment, she put down the half-wrapped shrimp dumplings in her hand and said to Nanqiu, "Let her in." ”

"Yes." Nanqiu agreed, stepped back and left, and after a while, a thin figure appeared in the sight of Ling Ruo and the others with her, who else but Mo'er?

Mo Er had been very nervous on the way here, lest if Ling refused to see him, then there would be no place to use the words he had thought of, but fortunately this did not happen.

"The slave and the maid knock to see the master." Mo Erli knelt down and kowtowed, staying in the palace for a long time, kowtowing and kneeling has become instinct, and it is strange when he doesn't need to kneel one day.

"Bengong is no longer your master, so you don't have to call it that way in the future, let's say, what do you have to tell Bengong?" Ling Ruo looked at her indifferently, his hand soaked in the clear water brought by Shui Yue, and the flour in his hand stained the water into a cloudy white.

"Master, please forgive the slave and maid, the slave and the maid know that the way is wrong, and the slave and the maid swear that there will never be a next time, otherwise...... Otherwise......" Mo Er hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "You cut off the slave's hand!" ”

"This palace doesn't make human meat buns, what do you do by cutting your hands. If that's what you're talking about, then you can go back. Ling Ruo raised her hand and let Shui Yue wipe her dripping fingers with a hand towel, she had done her best to Mo Er, and she really had nothing to say.

"Ask the master to be merciful and forgive the slave and maid once!" Mo Er didn't care if he would be punished, and stepped forward to hold Ling Ruo's skirt and begged bitterly. She knew very well that if she couldn't stay in Chengqian Palace according to the words of the young concubine, she would definitely not have good fruits to eat. Nian Guifei saved herself, and the exchange condition was to do things for her.

Mo Er's entanglement made Ling Ruo frown slightly, she asked Shui Xiu to take the silver to the Internal Affairs Office, and arranged an easy job for Mo Er in the sewing bureau, Mo Er was not satisfied, she was stalking here, she was really greedy too much, no wonder she would steal her jade beads.

Mo Er didn't know this thought, but kept kowtowing and begging, and because this time there was no way out, he begged more ruthlessly than last time, and his head knocked louder, and after a while, his forehead broke the skin and shed red blood.

Although Ling Ruo didn't like Mo'er, she still couldn't bear to see her head bleeding, and bowed her head and said, "If you don't like the work of the needlework bureau, this palace can arrange another one for you, and as for returning to Chengqian Palace, you don't have to." ”

Sewing board? Isn't it the Xinzheku? Doubts flashed in Mo Er's heart, but he didn't care about it, but he couldn't help but plead: "Master, the slave and maid really want to go back to you, you are the only one in this palace who feels the most sorry for the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid have never had a chance to repay the kindness of the slave and the maid, please give the slave and the maid another chance, and the slave and the maid will definitely tie the grass ring to repay the master's great kindness." Ling Ruo's attitude made Mo Er very worried, but he couldn't think of a better way than to plead.

"No need." Ling Ruo looked at the wrinkled skirt that was scratched by Mo Er and said, "This palace doesn't want you to repay you for saving you, and you don't have to remember it for a long time, so you can do your own errands and don't think about anything else." Also, for the sake of acquaintance, this palace advises you again, don't be greedy in this palace, otherwise you will only harm yourself. ”

Mo Er was resentful and bitter when he heard this, complaining that at this time, Ling Ruo was still suspecting that he had stolen the beads; The bitter thing is that he has been wronged but he can't defend himself.

"Master, slave maid ......" Mo Er was interrupted by Shui Yue as soon as he said a few words, "Since you said that you are loyal to your master, how did you have to work hard to catch up with Gonggong Xu of Yikun Palace again in the past few days, don't tell me that I met on the road occasionally." Hmph, didn't Concubine Nian let you come here? ”

Shui Yue said it casually, but she didn't want to, but she happened to poke at the weakness of Mo Er's heart, making her face pale all of a sudden. She hurriedly lowered her head, lest she show her feet in front of Ling Ruo, but her panicked heart couldn't calm down, and her fingers were stubbornly picking at the gaps between the green bricks. In the final analysis, Mo Er has not been in the palace for a long time, and he is not deeply involved in the world, so he can't control his emotions well.

However, Mo Er also knew that if she didn't answer, it would only make Ling Ruo more suspicious of her, and when she did, she would want to come back again, but it would be really whimsical.

"Master Qiqi, the slave and the maid are indeed not familiar with Father-in-law Xu, and the reason why they will go together is because the concubine Niangniang summoned Sister Zhilan, uh, Sister Zhilan is a palace maid that the slave and maid met in the Xin Zhiku, she is very good and takes good care of the slave and maid. Sister Zhilan was scared alone, so she asked the slave maid to accompany her to Yikun Palace. "This is Mo'er's rhetoric that he thought of on the road, and it is half true and half false.

Xinzheku? Ling Ruo's eyelids lifted, revealing a thoughtful look, she obviously arranged Mo Er in the sewing bureau, why did she go to the Xin Zheku again, it was so strange, could there be something wrong with it?

After thinking for a while, there was still no continuation, and seeing that Mo Er was about to kowtow again, he shook his head and said: "Don't knock anymore, don't ask anymore, the people who were driven out of the palace have absolutely no reason to come back, you go." ”

"Don't! Grace to the master! Mercy! Mo Er still didn't give up, still entangled there, Shui Yue was really upset when she saw it, and ordered Yang Hai to lead the two little eunuchs to take Mo Er outside, who thought that this person still hadn't left, kneeling at the door of Chengqian Palace, and said that if Ling Ruoru didn't forgive, she couldn't afford to kneel.

Shui Xiu and the others shook their heads when they heard this, they couldn't understand how Mo Er became so desperate, in this case, even if she came back, what could she do, if she wasn't doing some chores outside, it was impossible for the master to reuse her anymore, so it was better to be more comfortable in the needlework bureau.
