28. Stay up late

"Back to Niangniang, it's the old decay that dragged down Meiyue!" The old man in white saw Lin Mu'er looking at Meiyue, afraid that the princess would mistakenly think that Meiyue had something unspeakable, so he hurriedly explained: "The old man is blessed, he has an only son, who expected that his son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving only Meiyue as an heir, this child is filial, and he is afraid that no one will take care of me if he marries, so he has been refused, so he has been delayed!" Speaking of sadness, the old man in white had tears in his eyes.

I see! Lin Mu'er knew that she was a very filial girl!

"That's good! Sir, don't worry, Meiyue is so filial, how can God treat her badly, and he will definitely leave her a good husband! Lin Mu'er smiled and said with relief.

"Oops! That's what the mother said! That's what the mother said! These words reached the old man's heart, but he couldn't stop crying.

"The more I look at this eyebrow, the more I like it, you take this!" Lin Mu'er took off a bracelet with excellent color and water head in his hand, and motioned to Lan Xue on the side to hand it to Meiyue.

"Oh, I can't do it!" The old man in white was a little surprised, and hurriedly excused himself, they are all cloth people, and they are rewarded with some silver on weekdays, where are there such royal valuables, not to mention that the princess directly faded from her hands, it must be an object that the mother likes, so she will not dare to take it.

"Take it, Niangniang's reward, how can there be any excuse!" Lan Xue handed over the bracelet with both hands and persuaded with a smile.

"Thank you, Niang!" Meiyue looked at it and didn't twist it, knelt down and accepted the reward.

The three old men on the side saw that Niangniang was so rewarded, and they had different thoughts for a while: this Yang cannon looks at his granddaughter very tightly on weekdays, and the courtesants are about to break the threshold, and this Yang cannon will not let go! It's okay now, I hugged the big tree of Princess Jin, and I don't know how much gold is more expensive this Meiyue! I'm afraid that most people can't look down on it! Seeing that the princess is very attached to this eyebrow moon, these people are secretly hating how they don't have such a competitive granddaughter!

"These are tea money for all gentlemen, and I will have to bother you a lot in the future!" Seeing that Meiyue accepted the reward, Lin Mu'er nodded and motioned to Mother Xie to send them the prepared red envelope.

"Since it is the mother's reward, the grass people are disrespectful! Thank you for the reward! A few people didn't refuse, since they had rewarded the eyebrow moon before, if they repeatedly refused, it would seem a bit deliberate.

"It's not too early, the guest rooms of the palace have been prepared, please go to rest, and tomorrow will arrange for you to go to Zhuangzi! Red apricot, take the gentlemen to the guest room. Lin Mu'er ordered the red apricot who had just arrived.

"Gentlemen, please!" Hong Xing stepped forward and led everyone to the guest room.

"The grass people are retired!"

"The folk girl retires!"

Back at Weiyueju, the sky was already completely dark, Mother Xie helped Lin Mu'er break up her hair, and after some combing, she asked, "Is the master going to rest?" ”

Lin Mu'er shook his head, took the account book submitted by Zhuangzi before, and flipped through the pages one by one: "Mother Xie and Lan Xueming'er accompanied me into the palace, we have to stay up tonight, otherwise, I will cry with a radiant face, I am afraid that the emperor will not believe it!" ”

When Lan Xue heard this, she said with a smile: "It's okay to be a slave, it's just that Mother Xie is old, and Ming'er has to go to the palace for a trip, can you afford it?" ”

"It's okay! When you're older, you don't get enough sleep, let alone one night, it's okay if you don't sleep for two days! Mother Xie seemed to be afraid that everyone would not believe it, so she stretched out two fingers and gestured.

"No, ginger is still old and spicy! We can't underestimate Mother Xie! Lan Xue was amused, and said busily patting her ass.

Lin Mu'er also smiled: "Well, what Lan Xue said makes a lot of sense!" ”

For a moment, there was laughter in the room.

When Qingcheng and Hongxing talked back and forth, several gentlemen had eaten and all of them had already arranged to rest. Hongxing and Qingcheng also wanted to stay up with them, but they were all driven back by Lin Mu'er to rest, saying that they would have to worry about a few gentlemen tomorrow, and if they boiled hard today, Ming'er was afraid that they would delay things. These two girls couldn't help it, so they had to go back and rest.

In the middle of the night, a word came from the front, saying that Fu Ye was back. Fortunately, these Zhuangzi are all in the suburbs, and they barely ran all over in a hurry, and Fu Ye thought that he would return to his master tomorrow morning, but who knew that the master had not slept yet, so he reported it.

Sure enough, as Lin Mu'er expected, according to Fu Ye's reply, several Zhuangzi all shirked it, saying that they had already agreed with their hometown, and the family was looking forward to their return, and in addition, they had not returned to their hometown for decades.

Lin Mu'er didn't say anything more, but just told Fu Ye that Mr. Accounts had been completed, and Ming'er would wait for her to come back from the palace, and then she could arrange for the gentlemen to go to Zhuangzi to check the accounts.

When Fu Ye left, it was almost time, Lin Mu'er yawned, patted his sleepy cheeks and said vaguely: "Go sleep for an hour, it's time to go to the palace in a while." ”

Lan Xue was sleepy enough, her eyes were bloodshot, and she kept wiping her veil with a handkerchief and yawning and shedding tears: "That slave is waiting for you to rest!" ”

"No need, go to sleep, you won't be able to sleep for long, just refresh!" Lin Mu'er rubbed her eyes and walked to the bed, she couldn't wait for the bed to fly over by itself, as if she hadn't treated herself harshly on sleep since she woke up from falling into the water, and tonight was really a bloody investment!

Mother Xie is old, although she is boasting about Haikou, when Gang Fu Ye was reporting, she couldn't help but doze off, she was lying on the soft couch she had slept on before, and Lin Muer didn't wake her up, she didn't have a few hours to sleep, so why bother to wake her up, let Lan Xue go out and hug the bed and help Mother Xie cover it, and Lan Xue went back to her room to sleep.

Before the hour, Lin Mu'er was woken up by Xie's mother's shout, Lin Mu'er was still so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, leaning on Xie's mother and didn't want to stand up.

"Master, don't you dare to sleep anymore, if you sleep again, you're going to make a mistake!" Mother Xie gently patted Lin Mu'er's back and persuaded in a low voice.

"Hmmm! Got it! Vaguely responded, with a heavy sense of sleep, but Lin Muer still forced herself to get up and change clothes.

"Yesterday the slaves and maids were asleep, too

I don't know how this will work today! Mother Xie said with annoyance while helping Lin Mu'er apply her face.

Lin Mu'er raised her eyes and glanced at Xie's mother, and couldn't help but laugh with a "poof": "The effect is good, people who don't know still think that my mother was beaten yesterday, these two eyes are black, and the powder is not covered!" ”

Seeing that Lin Mu'er didn't blame her for falling asleep last night, Mother Xie also said with emotion: "I can't disobey the old man!" I'm almost half a box of powder, and I haven't covered it! Look at Lan Xue's girl, she is young, and she has slept for more than an hour, and she is not smart! ”

"Water spirits?" Lan Xue came in with breakfast, and when she heard Mother Xie praising herself, she couldn't help but laugh to herself: "Mom, don't laugh at me, my two dark circles are not much lighter than yours!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Mu'er also turned her head to look at Lan Xue, nodded with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, it seems that last night achieved a lot!" But in the end, Lan Xue is younger and can bear it, so her face is darker, and there are not many dark circles under her eyes.

When the three of them packed up and were ready to go out, they were just in time for Qingcheng Hongxing to come over to clean up the house, and they were shocked to see the faces of the three of them!

"Master, your face—" Qingcheng looked at them a little speechless.

"Is it too much worry and sorrow?" Lin Mu'er quipped a little mischievously.

Hongxing covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not, it's really scary!" ”

"Okay, you take care of a few gentlemen, don't slack off!" Lin Mu'er was very satisfied with the effect of this night, and still took care of it as usual.

"Don't worry, master, I won't make a mistake!" Qingcheng puffed out his chest and reassured.

The carriage swayed, and when it arrived in front of the palace, it was already dark, because this time entering the palace was neither a summons from the palace, nor was it the usual day to invite peace, so this meeting could only hand over the sign of the Jin Wangfu and wait for the summons in the palace. Lin Mu'er leaned crookedly on Mother Xie, still very sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep, and she forced herself to talk to Mother Xie in a low voice.

After waiting for almost two hours, it must have been the end of the early dynasty, and the news finally came from the palace, saying that it was summoned by the emperor, Lin Mu'er quickly straightened out her clothes, led Mother Xie and Lan Xue, changed into a small sedan chair in the palace, and went straight to the imperial study.

"Princess Xuanjin is here!" After waiting at the door of the imperial study for a while, the little eunuch who passed through the door finally sang with a sharp voice.

Mother Xie and Lan Xue couldn't enter, Mother Xie helped Lin Mu'er sort out her clothes, and then retreated to the side with Lan Xue, Lin Mu'er took a deep breath, lowered her head and slowly walked to the imperial study.

The inside of the imperial study is very warm, as if the earth dragon has been burned, just enter the door, the heat is approaching, so that people are not breathing smoothly, the ground is covered with a very thick carpet, feet stepped on, there is no sound coming out, soft, as if stepping on the clouds. The imperial study is not very big, at least not as big as the big study of the Jin Palace, Lin Mu'er didn't dare to look around, just lowered his head slightly, and his eyes glanced at the surrounding decorations, the decorations in this are unusually gorgeous, just the slender glazed flower pot standing on the ground, afraid

It's priceless.

"The concubines participate in the emperor, long live the five emperors, long live long live!"

"Excuse me! Get up and speak! Emperor Xiaocheng's voice sounded a little tired.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Mu'er stood up steadily, still bowing her head slightly, not daring to raise her eyes.

"But what's the matter... Why is your face so ugly? Except for what? Emperor Xiaocheng glanced at Lin Mu'er and asked with a frown.

As soon as she heard this, Lin Mu'er, who had been brewing for a long time, finally couldn't help but shed tears: "Please also ask the emperor to be the master of the concubines!" As he spoke, he knelt down again with tears in his eyes!

"This..."Emperor Xiaocheng was a little confused, wasn't he blocked at the door of the Hou Mansion before, so he would come over to complain? But he has already punished the Marquis of Qingyuan, this is afraid that everyone has spread it all over, Princess Jin will not know, this will come to complain again, for which one?

"Your Majesty, the concubines really can't think of a way, so please ask the emperor to be the master of the concubines!" Lin Mu'er knelt on the ground and cried pear blossoms with rain, and even had some unstoppable momentum.
