"Ma'am." Qiu Tang walked into the front hall and was full of blessings.

Mother Xu looked at Qiu Tang who was half-kneeling in front of her indifferently, neither reprimanding nor screaming, the two of them froze like this. It wasn't until Mother Xu finished drinking a cup of tea and looked at Qiu Tang's body trying to restrain her slightly trembling body that she slowly spoke: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." After Qiu Tang finished speaking, he held his breath, slowly stood up, and stood in front of Xu's mother with his eyes lowered.

"I heard Pearl say, you have something to tell me." Mother Xu looked Qiu Tang up and down, "Say it." ”

"Madam, Qiu Tang hopes that Madame will allow me to stop singing at Mingyuexuan." Qiu Tang's voice was also extremely indifferent.

"Oh? Why is that? Qiu Tang's request surprised Xu's mother, and the corners of Xu's mother's mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile. This girl is getting more and more interesting.

"Qiu Tang is not talented, he was robbed of the limelight by Wantong, instead of embarrassing Linglong Pavilion in Mingyue Xuan, it is better to come back and do embroidery and help Mrs. wash clothes."

"Do you really think so?" Mother Xu didn't believe it, you know, few girls who have tasted the sweetness outside are willing to go back to Linglong Pavilion to suffer, such as Wantong, who followed Mrs. Shen, such as Fei'er, who followed Xue Bowen, and never heard that a girl who had seen the world of flowers outside could go back to Linglong Pavilion to wash clothes.

"Really. If the lady doesn't believe it, Qiu Tang is willing to smash the pipa on the spot and never sing it again. Qiu Tang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu's mother. In those dark eyes, there was a determination that Xu's mother had never seen.

"Okay, then since you have decided to stay, I have nothing to say, as long as you still suffer from getting up early every day to wash your clothes, you will stay. Keep the pipa well, I will let the right master take it to repair the broken strings, you have to keep this piano well. There was a smile in Xu's mother's eyes, but this smile was more playful. She didn't leave Qiu Tang because of Qiu Tang's loyalty, she just wanted to see what Qiu Tang was playing with her.

"Thank you, ma'am." Qiu Tang heard that Xu's mother allowed her to stay in Linglong Pavilion, and a trace of gratitude was born in her heart, fortunately Xu's mother agreed, otherwise she really didn't know where to go.

"By the way, Qiu Tang, some time ago, Boss Gu mentioned something to me, he said that he wanted you to follow his troupe into the Holy City at the end of the month, to congratulate the old queen mother on her birthday, and to see the world by the way. I have always felt that you have responded to Ming Yuexuan's errand and it is inconvenient to go out, but now that you have the heart to resign from Mingyuexuan's errand and return to Linglong Pavilion, then I want to hear your thoughts, and are you willing to follow Boss Gu to the Holy City. ”

"It's all up to Madame's arrangement." Qiu Tang lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and he was blessed again.

"Holy." Hu Mengxi knelt at the gate of his palace to greet Mu Jianyu's holy drive. This is the fourth time Mu Jianyu has come to Hu Mengxi's palace recently.

"Get up." Mu Jianyu passed by Hu Mengxi and walked into the house. Hu Mengxi hurriedly got up and followed.

"Holy Lord, you can taste it, this is the eight-treasure glazed cake that the concubine personally made for you in the small kitchen." Hu Mengxi picked up a delicate dim sum and put it on a small plate in front of Mu Jianyu.

"The beauty bothered." Mu Jianyu glanced at the dim sum and said lightly.

"Beauty, she kicked us all out of the small kitchen and made it for the Holy One herself." Hu Mengxi's personal maid saw that Mu Jianyu was indifferent to Hu Mengxi, and hurriedly said.

"Hu Meiren's skills are getting better." Mu Jianyu looked at the crystal clear dim sum, and his mood was much better, there were many discordant voices in the court in the past few days, and for some reason more and more ministers asked him to thoroughly investigate the matter between the virtuous concubine and Jiang Quanyi, and even more suspected that Mu Lingyi was not a royal bloodline. Although Mu Jianyu didn't make any moves, these words were stuck in his heart like Maimang, he couldn't see it, but he was very uncomfortable.

"If the saint likes it, the concubine will do it for you every day." Seeing that Mu Jianyu's frowning brows showed signs of stretching, Hu Mengxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, accompanying the king is like a tiger, she heard her father talk about this truth before entering the palace, so she has not been competing for favor much, after a long time, she has become a little transparent in the palace, if it weren't for the fact that she had a few words with Mu Jianyu in the Queen Mother's palace, I am afraid that Mu Jianyu would not have remembered that there was such a person as her in her harem, and there would be no Mu Linghuan's son. Now that her son intends to compete for the crown prince, she, as a mother, must also find a way to please Mu Jianyu more. Even if she didn't want to do it herself.

"You are a harem concubine, let the people do the small kitchen in the future." Mu Jianyu put down his chopsticks, tasting the faint fragrance in his mouth, and felt a little pity for Hu Mengxi in front of him.

"To be able to win the favor of the saint is not only the blessing of this dim sum, but also the blessing of the concubine, you are the husband of the concubine, and it is natural for the concubine to make pastries for the husband." In this way, Hu Mengxi doesn't know how many times he has chewed it repeatedly in his heart, and now when he faces Mu Jianyu really speaking, Hu Mengxi is still a little uncomfortable.

"You've been with you for many years, and although you have a son, I've been snubbing you for years. You see, the furnishings in your palace are still the same as they were many years ago. Mu Jianyu looked at the simple and somewhat shabby layout around him, and felt a little unhappy, "You Dexing, go to the warehouse tomorrow to get some new furnishings and send them over." ”

"Yes." Seeing You Dexing receiving the order, Mu Jianyu felt a little better in his heart.

"How's Huan'er doing these days?" Mu Jianyu finally remembered this inconspicuous son.

"Thank you for your concern, Huan'er is very good, he has grown taller, and he has become a lot stronger, and a few days ago, the concubine also heard that Huan'er's handwriting is quite the style of the emperor." When Hu Mengxi mentioned his son, he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

"Really? Let him copy some scriptures for me another day. Mu Jianyu heard Hu Mengxi mention the emperor, and there was a trace of displeasure in his heart, so he prevaricated and terminated the topic, "By the way, there have been disputes in the court recently, let Huan'er study well, don't participate in this troubled water." Another day, I'll take care of his homework myself. After speaking, Mu Jianyu got up, looked at Hu Mengxi again, and left.

By the time Hu Mengxi came back to his senses, Mu Jianyu's figure was long gone. After all, Hu Mengxi didn't really accompany her for a long time, and she couldn't figure out Mu Jianyu's temper for a while, but Mu Jianyu suddenly mentioned it to the court, and if there was nothing between the words, he was beating Mu Linghuan, and Hu Mengxi's heart was afraid for no reason.

"Who?" On the way back to the dormitory, Mu Jianyu's Luan Jia met a little eunuch.

"Holy." The little eunuch hurriedly knelt down, "The little Shunzi of the miscellaneous family respectfully asks Your Majesty to be Saint An!" ”

"I think I've seen you." The night was a little thick, and Mu Jianyu couldn't see clearly, "In the middle of the night, you don't serve your master in the palace, what are you running around outside!" ”

"The miscellaneous family is the little shunzi next to Xiao Guifei in Yulan Palace, only because my master copied scriptures for the saint day and night to pray for blessings, and stayed up empty, so he fainted in front of the Buddhist shrine, and the miscellaneous family had to run in the palace late at night to ask for a doctor for my master."

"Xiao Guifei fainted?" Mu Jianyu's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly ordered You Dexing to go to Yulan Palace with him.

"Master, master......" Seeing Mu Jianyu enter the door, Qingxing hurriedly shook Zhang Wan, who was lying unconscious on the bed.

"Don't call her." Mu Jianyu looked at the pale Zhang Wan on the bed and the stacks of scriptures on the desk, and was distressed, and hurriedly stopped Qingxing from waking Zhang Wan up, "Let her rest for a while." Qingxing, come here. ”

Qingxing tucked the corners of the quilt and followed Mu Jianyu out of the dormitory to the main hall. Mu Jianyu looked at Zhang Wan, who was sleeping in the dormitory, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Guifei, what's wrong?" ”

Qingxing knelt in front of Mu Jianyu: "The saint spares his life." Since our master knew about the virtuous concubine, his heart was full of guilt, and he felt that the virtuous concubine was sorry for the saint, and that he, as the sister of the virtuous concubine, should atone for the behavior of the virtuous concubine, so he copied many scriptures, one is to atone for the virtuous concubine, and the other is to pray that the saint will not be angry with the virtuous concubine, and pray that the saint will be healthy and live forever. ”

Mu Jianyu was silent, he didn't expect that a woman who had just given birth could be so ignorant of herself, even if she fainted, she would pray for herself. Mu Jianyu turned the wrench on his hand and said, "You get up." When Concubine Xiao woke up, you told her that I had been here, and I did not anger her about Concubine Xian, and asked her to relax, so that she could raise her body and raise Chen'er. I'll come back to see her in two days. After speaking, Mu Jianyu left Yulan Palace.

"City Lord Xue." Zhang An stopped Xue Bowen, who was hurrying out with his head down.

"Master Zhang." Xue Bowen arched his hand. He has been trying to avoid Zhang An for the past few days, and he hasn't thought of a countermeasure yet.

"City Lord Xue has been very busy these days." Zhang An's words mentioned Xue Bowen.

"There's no way, as an official, you have to keep the peace of the party, and they are all from the villagers, and there are many trivial things." Xue Bowen has been an official for many years, and he can still understand the meaning of Zhang An's words, and he also laughed haha, pondering his rhetoric, "I have snubbed Master Zhang these days, and I ask Master Zhang to forgive me." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, Zhang An looked at Xue Bowen's grinning appearance, and it was not easy to blame him for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm also doing things for people, taking people's money, and eliminating disasters with people. City Lord Xue snubbed me for a few days, as long as the city lord does what Shangfeng entrusted him with, City Lord Xue will wait to be promoted and make a fortune! Zhang An gently patted Xue Bowen's shoulder, and when he looked up, his face was also full of smiles.

"The lower official remembers, the lower official remembers." Xue Bowen heard it, what Zhang An meant was that the slaughter of the city was not what he wanted to do, but there were people above who wanted to slaughter the city, do it well, get promoted and make a fortune, and if it didn't do well, I was afraid that he would die immediately without a place to be buried, "Xia Guan has also searched all over the pharmacy in the city in the past few days, and it is really not a coincidence, the mausoleum is entrusted to the current saint Hongfu, and there has been no rat infestation for a long time, and there is naturally no pharmacy hoarding such a highly poisonous medicine as Hedinghong." Master Zhang, you allow me to take a few more days, the doctor of the Huichun Hall has already sent his men out to buy goods, just come back in a few days, or ...... Wait? ”

"Well, don't be in a hurry for a while, since City Lord Xue has taken things to heart, then please ask City Lord Xue." Xue Bowen lifted the saint out, and Zhang An lost his temper. If there is really a sudden outbreak of rat infestation, it will be that the Holy Lord has no way to govern the country today, which is not a joke. Slowly, slowly.

"Don't worry, Master Zhang, the lower officials will do it with all their hearts." Xue Bowen arched his hand.
