"That being the case, the palace will not leave my sister to drink tea!" The queen was still very satisfied with Concubine Shu's knowledge of current affairs, and nodded with a smile, with a graceful atmosphere.

Concubine Shu retired, and Jin Rui, who came with her, did not stay alone, bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "Erchen retires." When he turned around, he looked at Peng Mo, and saw that she still looked quiet with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered, and she couldn't help but feel regretful, and she really wanted to take a good look at her appearance.

There were only four people left in the pavilion, and the atmosphere was even more condensed than just now, Peng Mo took a breath and said secretly: What can make the emperor hesitate, I hope you don't let yourself down, otherwise you will lose a lot! Thinking about kneeling on the ground, he said earnestly: "The courtier is at fault, please punish the queen." "For the queen, Peng Mo has no intention of making enemies, so this matter still has to be handled properly.

Seeing this, the queen's complexion eased slightly, got up and personally helped Peng Mo up, and said with a smile: "This solid-eyed child, don't kneel down if you're not in good health." ”

"The courtier, Queen Xie, is in love. "Why doesn't the queen seem to be angry? Peng Mo got up, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, realized for a moment, and said secretly: He is worthy of being a person who lives in the palace.

Is the queen angry? Of course she is angry, but she is more at ease, Peng Mo can be so dedicated to a bastard cousin who has broken off the relationship, and he will only treat Jin Roujia better in the future, which is what the queen likes to see, so although Peng Mo is angry at this moment because of Peng Mo's intercession for Zhao Shi, he is not embarrassed by her.

A loyal and brave marquis's mansion, a Zhao Qingshui, the queen has never taken it seriously, Peng Mo will save Zhao Shi once, but he will not be stupid enough to save the second time.

Besides, according to Zhao Shi's temperament, it is not difficult to design him to commit a capital crime!

What the queen could think of, Peng Mo thought of it too, but he still looked at her ignorantly and timidly, and asked worriedly, "The queen is not angry?"

"You are so kind, how can this palace be willing to be angry and blame? There is no need to mention this matter again. The queen patted the back of Peng Mo's hand gently, her tone was soft and warm, her eyes were smiling, and she no longer had the domineering attitude just now.

Peng Mo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his face was moved and ashamed, and he bowed his head and said: "It's the courtiers who don't distinguish between right and wrong, and they won't be like this in the future." ”

What she meant was that the next time Zhao Shi committed it again, neither she nor the General's Mansion would come to intercede again! The queen read this, and her smile became more sincere for a while.

Yu Min, the female official of Chengqian Palace, came quickly, and said after the blessing: "Niangniang, the emperor's reward has arrived." ”

Hearing this, the queen smiled and said, "This palace knows." "The emperor's move can be regarded as favoring the loyal and brave marquis's mansion, and now this reward can be regarded as appeasement?

"Mother, it's not too early, so I'll leave first. Wei Yingran stood up, with a slight smile on her pale and soft face.

The courtiers also took their leave. Peng Mo curtsied and said goodbye with a smile.

The queen didn't keep it, nodded and said, "It's okay, there are still things in the palace, so I won't keep you." As he spoke, he pointed to the two palace maids and said, "You guys are so good to send the two of them out of the palace." The palace maid agreed and led the two out of the palace.

Jin Roujia looked at their figures, a little lonely, but she was relieved to think that she didn't have to be grounded, and she could go out of the palace to play with them.

The queen pulled the distracted Jin Roujia and said, "Let's go, let's see what good things your father has rewarded!"

The objects in the palace are always gold and jade jewelry, light gauze brocade silk, Jin Roujia is not keen on these, but her father's reward represents grace, so she can't show it, and obediently follows the queen back to Chengqian Palace.

The two palace maids assigned by the queen walked in front to lead the way, and Peng Mo was one step behind Wei Yingran and walked in the direction of the palace gate.

Peng Mo looked at Wei Yingran's back, thinking back to what he looked like just now, whether it was calm in the face of the emperor, or disapproving in the face of the queen's anger, he had a strange calmness, maybe this "sick man" is not as simple as everyone knows!

I remember that after the funeral of the emperor and queen in the previous life, the Chengen Houfu disappeared overnight, and the disappearance of a Houfu should have attracted much attention, but at that time, the nobles and ministers of Kyoto were all vying for power, and no one cared about this matter.

Where did he go after he disappeared? Did he do it intentionally or unwillingly?

"What is the fourth lady thinking?" Wei Yingran turned his head sideways, looked at Peng Mo Ning's small face, and smiled lightly.

Peng Mo raised his head and met his deep eyes, slightly drooping his eyelashes, since he was reborn, Peng Mo had already practiced joy and behavior, but now he was easily seen through, his heart was shocked, but his face was not obvious at all, the corners of his mouth outlined a shallow smile, and he replied softly: "The little girl didn't think anything." ”

Because he was a little suspicious of him, he was alienated and defensive in his speech, but Wei Yingran didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't mind, but slowed down, walked side by side with her, turned his head and asked with a smile: "I heard that the fourth lady is proficient in Buddhist scriptures?"

I heard that who is listening? Peng Mo had a question in his heart, his face remained silent, and he said with a smile: "The little girl has only read a few books occasionally, and she is not proficient. ”

"I heard Master Kongwu say that Miss Four has a very high understanding in Buddhist scriptures, I think there are not many people in Dayong Kingdom who can make the master praise him so much, so Miss Four should not be modest. Wei Yingran's tone was gentle, like a breeze blowing, and the frankness that was unconsciously leaked in his words made people feel like they wanted to let down their guard.

Peng Mo's smile deepened, he looked at Wei Yingran sideways, his eyes were moist, and asked, "Is the prince going to Huangjue Temple in the past few months?" I heard that the bamboo forest in the back mountain has become more and more green after a few rains, and the prince can see it?" The tone was full of curiosity and joy of the little girl's family.

Wei Yingran saw Peng Mo's shackled smile for the first time, his stunning appearance was childlike and innocent, which was fascinating, he was momentarily distracted, and nodded in amazement: "Yes, I saw it, the green bamboo pole is very spectacular." ”

"Really?" Peng Moji smiled and lowered his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, the smile in his eyes disappeared, his cherry lips opened lightly, and his tone was slightly cold: "However, the little girl heard that Master Kongwu has been in retreat for a year, and just came out of the customs a few days ago, is the prince sure that he saw Master Kongwu a few months ago?"

Wei Yingran's face froze, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and when he lowered his eyes, he had returned to normal, and his pale lips hooked a helpless smile. "The fourth lady is really guarded. I only blamed myself for being good for a while, and I was hooked by her smile.

Peng Mo's face returned to the calm of detachment, and he just smiled lightly at this, is he very guarded? What is the fate of himself who was defenseless in his previous life?

At this point, both of them had no interest in talking, and they had nothing to say all the way, and they went out of the palace gate.

Peng Mo got into the carriage, and Qi Mu asked. "Princess, shall we go home?"

Through the curtain of the car, Peng Mo's voice answered softly. "Go home. ”

Qi Mu nodded, and the whip landed on the horse, and the wheels rolled.

And Wei Yingran, who was in the other carriage, heard the sound of ruts, lifted the curtain lightly with his fingertips, looked at Peng Mo's carriage and was slightly distracted, and the corners of his mouth hooked a weird smile for a while.

All the way back to the General's Mansion, Peng Mo first went to Peng's Lotus Garden, said that when she met Zhao Qingshui in the palace, she asked for intercession, and then said the result of the emperor's disposition of Zhao Shi after the intercession.

Peng's thought that his daughter agreed to Zhao Qingshui's request because of the past relationship between the two mansions, and his heart was both relieved and sad, he was relieved that his daughter could ask for help regardless of his previous suspicions, and he was sad that his daughter was so kind-hearted that she would be bullied by Zhao Qingying and others, and shook his head for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Since we have broken off contact, we will not interfere in the affairs of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the future." "There is no need for the General's Mansion to offend the Empress and Jin Roujia for their sake.

Peng Mo nodded in agreement, seeing that Peng's thought of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion became sentimental again, and he changed the topic again, and talked about Jin Roujia's interesting story, which made Peng's laugh.

After sitting for half an hour, Peng Mo returned to the Mohe Courtyard, and when he stepped into the courtyard, he saw two women dressed in the general's mansion maids, who were the two girls that Jin Yanchen pointed out to her on the Moon Tower yesterday.

"The slave maid meets the fourth lady. The two saw Peng Mo kneeling down in unison, with a respectful attitude.

Peng Mo walked up to the two and stopped, and said with a smile: "Get up, it's getting up outside, let's go into the house and talk." The two glanced at each other, got up and followed Peng Mo into the room.

Lian Feng helped Peng Mo sit down, and brought her the medicine that had been boiled in advance to drink, because of the reason for entering the palace, the time to take the medicine was also delayed.

Peng Mo is not a hypocritical person, he drank the medicine in one go.

Seeing Peng Mo's bitter frown, Lianfeng hurriedly handed over the candied fruit; Peng Mo shook his head and said that he would not eat it; Lianfeng poured tea again, Peng Mo took it, and took a sip of the bitterness in his mouth before it improved slightly.

Lian Feng glanced at the two of them and said, "Miss, they were sent by Sister Qiaosi." "I was a little apprehensive in my heart, could it be that Mrs. felt that she was not serving well, so she added the serving girl of Mohe Courtyard?

"I know, you go find the third brother. Peng Mo nodded and commanded.

Although Lian Feng was very curious about what Peng Mo would say to the two, he nodded and left without hesitation when he heard her command.

"What's your name?" Peng Mo held a cup of tea in his hand and looked at the two with a smile.

The two glanced at each other, and the tall woman stood up, respectfully replied to Peng Mo's words, and said, "The two slaves and maids were ordered by His Royal Highness to come to the General's Mansion to protect the master, so this name is also rewarded by the master." ”

Peng Mo nodded and asked again. "What was your previous name?"

"The slave has no name. The two shook their heads.

Peng Mo thought of the identities of the two, and knew in his heart that the secret guards could not have names, characteristics, and feelings, and all they needed to do was to put aside their lives to complete the tasks assigned by their masters.

"Do you remember when you were a child, your family or your hometown?"

The two shook their heads, bowed their heads and said, "The slaves and maids are all orphans, and fortunately Your Highness can take them in to survive." ”

"I originally wanted you to continue to use your family name, since you don't remember, you will be surnamed Peng in the future, right?" These two are poor people, Peng Mo doesn't want them to live without a name and a surname.
