Mu Hua was in a hurry, but Lu Ziyue glanced at her unhurriedly, did not take the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mu Hua, if you say too much, you will lose." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the lotus canopy on the boat again: "After you pack these things, take them to the small kitchen and let them peel the lotus seeds, by the way, take some and put them in the palace room, and if there is nothing to do tonight, you will peel some lotus seeds and make lotus seed soup tomorrow." ”

She patted her skirt and walked to the side room.

Mu Hua's face was a little ugly after being said by Lu Ziyue, but it was indeed she who said the wrong thing.

Xiao Qi saw that her face was ugly, so he stepped forward and patted her shoulder and said comfortingly: "The princess has not been in a good mood recently, let's be able to understand, if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, tell me, but don't make trouble with the princess." ”

Mu Hua nodded, she looked at Xiao Qi, knowing that Xiao Qi was worried that she was disobedient to the princess, but this was absolutely impossible, the most important thing for slaves and maids like them to serve was to be loyal to their masters for a lifetime.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know that the princess treats us well on weekdays, so naturally she won't bother the princess at the moment, but does the princess know about the family dinner of the Shangshu family in the Ministry of Rites today?" ”

Her face was a little ugly, and she looked at Xiao Qi worriedly: "I'm afraid that the princess will have a fetal gas because of this matter, and she will have trouble with the prince again." ”

Speaking of this, the faces of the two of them were not good-looking, and Xiao Qi looked directly at the boat of lotus canopies and some lotus roots, and she pursed her lips.

I have to say that what the prince did this time did not take the princess's feelings into account, no matter what, the husband should not entangle with other women when his wife is pregnant.

Even if it is a last resort, you should pay attention to the princess's feelings.

What's more, the status of the prince is now, there is no need to look at the faces of others to live.

In this way, Xiao Qi also has some pity for Lu Ziyue.

Even if she is smart, she can't see clearly how the two of them get along.

That is: "The princess knows everything, and today she has already met the wife and daughter of the Ministry of Rites, that lady is not an easy to deal with, but her daughter does not seem to be so smart, but looking at the princess's meaning today, it seems that she does not intend to object to the prince accepting a new concubine at such a juncture." ”

She wiped the sweat off her forehead before putting the Fang Jinpa into her sleeve, and the sadness in her eyes was even deeper: "I don't know, what should we do next." ”

Xiao Qi didn't know, and Mu Hua didn't understand it even more.

But now was not the best time to discuss this matter, of course, these things should not be taken care of by them in the first place, so they walked towards some of the guards who were about to walk not far away, and the smile on their faces returned.

Mu Hua was the person who served by the princess's side, and she was the slave and maid personally assigned by Shen Xie, so these guards respected her very much. Naturally, she was willing to obey her instructions and moved these lotus roots to Lu Ziyue's small kitchen.

Xiao Qi's dress was stained with water, and because she had spent a little effort and sweating, she didn't go with Mu Hua, but went back to her room to freshen up and change.

Neither of them was waiting by her side, and Lu Ziyue saw Lin Yi, who she hadn't seen for a long time, in her room.

She sat upright in her chair with a slightly bad face.

"This palace needs you to do one thing, send your subordinates to carefully search for the ugly things of Wu Liang, the Qing of Dali Temple, as long as the things that can affect his career this palace must understand, if necessary, this palace will order you to publicize all those things, but remember, you must do it cleanly and don't be caught."

After all, Lu Ziyue can't forget the humiliation of Ah Pei in the prison of Dali Temple, she now feels that her chest is tight and panicked as long as she thinks about it, and the slightest trace of distress makes her heart be choked and unable to breathe.

Lu Ziyue felt this way for the second time in his life.

Her face became more and more pale, and Lin Yi also found out, although he didn't know what the reason was, he was always very worried about Lu Ziyue's physical condition.

Kneeling down on one knee and pleading, "Her Royal Highness the princess must pay attention to her body no matter what, and this matter will naturally be done." ”

Of course, Lu Ziyue heard the pleading and worry in Lin Yi's words, and now he can still feel their worries about him, Lu Ziyue feels very honored.

She tried to show a smile, although it was a little bitter, but it was the most sincere smile she had shown recently, she said: "Don't worry, but Ah Pei is not by the side of the palace, the palace needs another loyal maid, you arrange it, let the trustworthy person enter the regent palace with a clean name, but don't deal with it too innocently, otherwise it is easy to make people suspicious, you should have a good grasp of the degree of this." ”

When it came to this, Lin Yi certainly understood what Lu Ziyue meant, but when he talked about Ah Pei, his voice was also choked up: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know when Miss Ah Pei will go back?" ”

"I don't know this palace, I guess after this matter is all dealt with, but don't worry, this palace will definitely let those well-dressed beasts pay the price they deserve, and will not let Ah Pei be humiliated in vain, but you must pay attention to your own safety, you can't let the people of Shen Guo find out your identity, understand?"

In the end, she was also worried about Lin Yi, after all, the situation was complicated now, and Shen Xie had always been arbitrary, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect Lin Yi one day.

"Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, the identity of the minister has already been changed, now the three generations of the minister are all from the Shen Kingdom, and the regent's palace is also selected through layers of selection, no one will be suspicious, but now it's not too early, in order not to be discovered, the minister is about to leave, and after the right person is selected, the minister will come to tell Her Royal Highness the princess, but now the situation is complicated, Her Royal Highness the princess has to take care of your body even if she is unwilling, only if you are there, there is hope for the future of the Dayue Kingdom."

As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground and walked away through the window.

Seeing him leave completely, Lu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, she wiped her moist eyes with a silk handkerchief, and wiped the footprints on the windowsill before closing the window.

There was a little sadness and sadness in her heart.

and involuntarily stroked his abdomen.

This child came too suddenly, so Lu Ziyue had to be careful and cautious when dealing with some things.

She didn't even dare to rejoice or sorrow, because she was afraid of hurting the child.

With her eyes closed, she grabbed the corner of the table, and countless thoughts flashed through her heart for a moment.

After Mu Hua put most of the lotus canopy and lotus root in the small kitchen, he took the remaining small part to Lu Ziyue's room.

The lights were faintly on, and the people inside didn't seem to be resting.

She knocked lightly on the door: "Princess? ”

After learning the lesson of Fang Cai, Mu Hua did not dare to open the door without authorization.

After all, Lu Ziyue is now a noble person, and she still has to look at her preferences when she acts on weekdays.

After knocking on the door, she hadn't slept yet, so she naturally let Mu Hua in.

Looking at the lotus canopy she was holding in her hand, she also showed a rare smile: "Quickly bring the plate with pastries on the table, and accompany me to peel these lotus seeds tonight." ”

There was a little joy in her words, and there was no anger at all.

Seeing this, Mu Hua was slightly relieved.

However, she didn't go to get the pastry plates on the table, she knew what Lu Ziyue was going to do, so she naturally brought clean utensils from the kitchen.

put the fresh lotus seeds on the table, smiled and handed one to Lu Ziyue: "The princess should be careful when peeling it, be careful if she hurts her hand." ”

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Lu Ziyue shook her head with a smile, she broke the shell on the outside of the lotus pod, and then took out the lotus seeds inside one by one.

This is the first step to peel the lotus pod.

She is very fast, and very skillful, as if she is very experienced in peeling lotus seeds.

However, there is still a layer of shell on the outside of this lotus seed, and if you want to eat it, you have to peel off the outer shell.

Seeing this, Mu Hua said, "It's better to let the slave help the princess remove the shell on the outside of this peeled lotus seed." ”

"Okay, it's just that you have to be careful, this lotus seed is difficult to peel, and this palace is also a skill that I practiced when I was in my home country before, you don't do it often, but don't worry."

After speaking, he lowered his head again and seriously shelled the lotus canopy.

Seeing this, Mu Hua also peeled it off seriously.

It was much faster for two people to do things together than to do things alone, and it didn't take long for all the lotus seeds to be peeled off and lying white in the vessel.

Lu Ziyue was also very happy to look at these peeled lotus seeds, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief on the side, and then handed another clean handkerchief to Mu Hua: "You can let the lotus seed soup from the small kitchen take these lotus seeds to the palace tomorrow, as long as a bowl, you can take the rest and eat it yourself, but if there is any excess, send some to Xiao Qi, she is tired of rowing today." ”

"Yes, Mu Hua thanks the princess for her grace, but after all, this lotus seed soup is the princess's heart, so don't you need to prepare some to take to the prince?"

She looked at the white lotus seeds, thinking that if the lotus seed soup made was taken to the prince to drink, the relationship between the princess and the prince would always be able to promote some, and the two of them were frightening these days.

"No, you don't." Lu Ziyue shook her head, she rubbed her eyebrows and said tiredly, "There has never been a shortage of people to send him things over there, not to mention that the young lady of the Ministry of Rites has a lot of love for him today?" Maybe I'll be in the house to be sisters in a few days, Mu Hua, this thing of competing for favor and flattery has never been something that a serious master has to do, and the most important thing in this palace now is to raise the child in the belly well, do you say that's the truth? ”

When she said these words, Mu Hua naturally couldn't refute them, but she didn't dare to echo them, so she could only stand aside with her head down and be silent.
