Mu Ningxuan doesn't need incense now, but she can also make all the incense in the incense book from memory.

But she has to get her hands on the secret book, and in this life, she has to make good use of the secret book to do what she wants to do.

In this life, she will never marry into the palace again.

Mu Ningxuan excused herself slightly: "Queen Mother, Xuan'er is afraid that her ability is limited and she is not competent. ”

"You have to, the mourning deadline is approaching, and you can't wait." The Queen Mother's voice was a little hoarse.

"Queen Mother, don't talk nonsense." Mu Ningxuan said hurriedly.

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "The mourning family knows their own body, there is no need to be entangled, the mourning family will ask you, are you willing?" ”

"For the Queen Mother, Xuan'er swore with her life that she would keep all the secrets of the Queen Mother." Mu Ningxuan swore an oath.

"Good!" The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

The Queen Mother stood up and called Aunt Su in.

Aunt Su walked in with an oil lamp and closed the door behind her, and after closing the door, Aunt Su walked to the bookshelf in three steps and two steps, and put down a standing book.

Mu Ningxuan knew that the Queen Mother was going to take her into the secret room.

Just listening to the sound of "squeak~", the wall next to Aunt Su turned, and in the blink of an eye, the wall turned into a large gap, revealing the passage to the secret room.

Aunt Su took the lead in the front, and the Queen Mother motioned for Mu Ningxuan to follow behind, and the three of them entered the secret room together.

With the familiar fragrance, Mu Ningxuan came to the secret room again.

The Queen Mother took out a somewhat shabby book from the bookshelf in the secret room and handed it to Mu Ningxuan, and told Mu Ningxuan that the incense in these bottles and jars in the secret room was something she had to learn during this time, and the incense recipes in the incense book were something she could study in the future.

Today's Mu Ningxuan has already learned everything related to incense, even with her eyes closed.

Originally, in order to let Mu Ningxuan get acquainted with every spice and incense as soon as possible, the Queen Mother planned to let Mu Ningxuan sleep for only two hours a day, so that Mu Ningxuan would have to stay in the secret room of Cining Palace for the next month.

But the Queen Mother found that Mu Ningxuan's memory was far beyond that of others, and Mu Ningxuan only needed to read the book to her to understand it by heart, and the retelling was word-for-word.

The Queen Mother even found that Mu Ningxuan was very talented, in order to let Mu Ningxuan identify the taste of various spices as soon as possible, the Queen Mother asked Mu Ningxuan to take a bath every day, and the bath water was a combination of a variety of fragrances mixed together by the Queen Mother herself.

And Mu Ningxuan can actually distinguish the various spices added to the water in a very short time, and accurately say the fragrance, taste, and characteristics of each spice!

On this day, Mu Ningxuan came to Cining Palace as usual, but the Queen Mother did not take her into the secret room today to continue learning to make incense.

"Xuan'er, haven't you really been exposed to incense before?" The Queen Mother looked at Mu Ningxuan's eyes and asked.

The Queen Mother thought it was incredible, Mu Ningxuan had memorized all the dozens of books that needed to be memorized in just a few days, and she could make more than a dozen kinds of incense pills that were now being sold in the incense book.

"Xuan'er has been in the palace since she was five years old, and she has not been exposed to these." It was impossible for Mu Ningxuan to tell the Queen Mother that she could recognize these incense because she had been reborn once.

"Xuan'er is very talented, and the "treasure incense" is handed over to Xuan'er, and the mourning family is relieved. ”

Although the Queen Mother was very surprised, she was more relieved that the "treasure incense" was not entrusted to anyone.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your compliment." Mu Ningxuan had a sweet smile on her face.

***

The case of the death of the crown prince, the result of the thorough investigation is really the same as the previous life, the five princes have investigated for nearly a month, but they have not found out the reason.

The official family was furious in the court, but to no avail.

Even though the queen and the crown prince were suspicious of the third prince Jin Wang, there was no evidence, and in the end, the prince's case could only be solved.

***

Three days later is the Queen Mother's birthday, but the prince has just passed away, it is really not suitable to do a big deal, and the Queen Mother also said that there is no need to do it this year.

So this year's birthday of the Queen Mother is only accompanied by Mu Ningxuan.

Mu Ningxuan presented the warm hat she had sewn by herself to the Queen Mother.

As soon as the Queen Mother saw this handmade and fluffy warm hat, she couldn't put it down, and praised Mu Ningxuan's thoughtfulness.

That night, Mu Ningxuan didn't sleep directly, her angina was unbearable, her whole body seemed to be pricked by needles, dizzy, and difficult to breathe.

Time passed little by little, but the pain did not go away.

Mu Ningxuan was alive, she knew that as long as she waited until dawn, it wouldn't hurt.

Finally, the sky was bright.

Xiaofu came in with water and found Mu Ningxuan's strange appearance.

"County Lord, what's wrong with you?" Xiaofu hurriedly put down the basin in her hand and walked quickly to Mu Ningxuan's bedside.

At this time, Mu Ningxuan's face was not bloodshot, pale and weak, but the pain in her body disappeared inexplicably, and she could make a sound when she opened her mouth.

"It's fine."

Mu Ningxuan said with difficulty.

She just wants to change her life against the sky, what about God's punishment, as long as she can make the people around her not repeat the mistakes of the past, she can live happily in this life, even if she Mu Ningxuan dies again, anyway, she is a person who has died once, if she can't even bear the pain of this heavenly punishment, how can she be worthy of the chance of rebirth in this life given by God!

***

Two days after the Queen Mother's birthday, her health suddenly became very poor, and she couldn't even get out of bed, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless.

And Mu Ningxuan still stays in the secret room of Cining Palace every day, learning the art of making incense, and she has already caught the incense in the bottles and jars in the secret room.

Seeing that Mu Ningxuan had learned so many incense recipes so quickly, the Queen Mother asked Mu Ningxuan to try to make her own incense.

Mu Ningxuan lived up to the expectations of the Queen Mother, and made her own incense the next day. Seeing the incense pills made by Mu Ningxuan with Hexiang, the Queen Mother was not so surprised.

It's a matter of talent!

***

Half a month later, the Queen Mother died, and the whole country mourned.

In this life, the Queen Mother still left Aunt Su to Mu Ningxuan, the Queen Mother knew that the people and things in the Pingchang Marquis Mansion were not peaceful, and she was worried that Mu Ningxuan had stayed in the palace for a long time, and she was not familiar with the open and secret battles in the mansion, and she was weak when she returned to the Mu family, so she ordered Aunt Su to stay by Mu Ningxuan's side.

Ten days later, the official family solemnly announced that they had met Mu Ningxuan in the Qinzheng Palace.

The official family was concise and to the point, straight to the point: "The Queen Mother told me that she had handed over all the shops outside the palace to you to take care of?" ”

"Yes, the shop is owned by the Queen Mother, that is, owned by His Majesty, Xuan'er doesn't dare to take it herself, she will take the other half alone, and the silver earned by the shop every year must be handed over to the treasury on time."

"Do you know how much silver taels a year a shop makes?"

Mu Ningxuan shook her head: "The Queen Mother didn't say it. ”

The official gestured with a gesture of two, and said indifferently: "Two million taels." ”

Mu Ningxuan looked surprised.

Seeing Mu Ningxuan's surprised expression, the official family smiled and said: "As long as you take care of the shop properly, the Queen Mother means that half of it will be regarded as a dowry for you, and I have no objection." ”

"Xuan'er kneels down to thank Longen." Mu Ningxuan sincerely kowtowed to the official family.

The third sister has ten miles of red makeup.

In the afternoon, the official family issued an order to allow Mu Ningxuan, the county lord of Ningxuan, to leave the palace.

The eldest daughter of the Mu family, Ning Xuan, went out of the palace and returned to the house, which was a great joy for the Pingchang Hou Mansion, and the Mu Hou Ye led everyone in the mansion to stand in front of the Hou Mansion and wait.

The official family is very face-saving, the palace sent a lot of pomp, Mu Ningxuan's carriage was magnificent, and the people accompanying Mu Ningxuan were not only used in the palace, but also pointed out more than a dozen to Mu Ningxuan, and Aunt Su next to the Queen Mother was also in the entourage.

Seeing Mu Ningxuan's carriage procession, thinking that the official family could treat the eldest daughter of the Mu family so kindly, Mu Houye's face was full of light and he was very happy.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Guo Xiaoniang, who was dressed in full costume, greeted her first, showing great enthusiasm, personally standing in front of the carriage and helping Mu Ningxuan down, holding Mu Ningxuan's hand, and calling Sister Xuan one by one.

"Our sister Xuan is finally home, let your father see it, your father has been talking about you a lot over the years. Before entering the palace, he was such a small and big child, but now he has grown into a big girl. Why is Xuan'er's little face so thin, and her face is not very good, so she has to make up for it well......" Guo Xiaoniang said and tears fell.

"Don't scare Sister Xuan, so many people are watching this happy day." Mu Hou Ye whispered to Guo Xiaoniang, his tone was full of doting.

Mu Ningxuan did not stand by coldly this time, but directly shook off Guo Xiaoniang's hand.

"You're Aunt Guo." Mu Ningxuan asked with a smile.

Guo Xiaoniang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, Sister Xuan really has a good memory, she can still recognize me after so many years." ”

"Aunt Guo, in front of so many people, is it appropriate for you to call yourself "me" in front of the county lord? Mu Ningxuan still had a smile on her face.

Guo Xiaoniang was secretly surprised that Mu Ningxuan, a little girl, dared to show her face in front of Hou Ye and so many people.

Seeing that Guo Xiaoniang couldn't get off the stage because of what Mu Ningxuan said, it was not easy to have a seizure at the gate of the mansion, so he suppressed his anger and said: "What you, me, don't stand at the door, hurry up and enter the mansion." ”

Guo Xiaoniang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Sister Xuan is right, the concubine is too happy to see Sister Xuan coming back and forgot her shape, it really shouldn't be like this, please forgive me." ”

Mu Hou Ye comforted Guo Xiaoniang softly and said, "It's okay, Xuan'er has been in the palace for so many years, and it's normal to be a little old-fashioned." ”

During the state funeral, Mu Hou Ye did not dare to be too pompous, and only set up three tables of family banquets at home, inviting relatives who were close to the Mu family.

Although Guo Xiaoniang ate a closed door in front of Mu Ningxuan at the gate of the mansion before, in Guo Xiaoniang's eyes, Mu Ningxuan is just a little girl under the age of fifteen, who is too dogmatic in the palace, as long as she coaxes her well, she will still be held in her hands.

Guo Xiaoniang led Mu Ningxuan to the main hall in front of her, and said with a smile: "Sister Xuan, sit here." ”

Mu Ningxuan said expressionlessly: "Call me the county lord." ”

"Yes, yes, lord." Guo Xiaoniang flattered Mu Ningxuan.

Mu Ningxuan is no longer willing to sing with Guo Xiaoniang in this life, and a quick decision is the best.

"Sister Xuan, hello." Before the banquet officially began, a plainly dressed little girl walked up to Mu Ningxuan and called out to Mu Ningxuan softly.

Mu Ningxuan saw that it was her third sister Mu Ningjia, a smile appeared on her face, and she was just about to speak, when she heard Guo Xiaoniang's cold voice: "Why are you here?" ”

Although Mu Ningxuan has been ignoring Guo Xiaoniang, Guo Xiaoniang is very concerned about Mu Ningxuan's every move.

At the moment, Guo Xiaoniang was obviously very dissatisfied with Mu Ningjia, who suddenly appeared at the banquet in the front hall, and came over directly according to her previous temperament.

"Back to Aunt Guo, it was my father who happened to see me just passing by Lan Yuexuan and asked me to come over to meet Sister Xuan." Mu Ningjia lowered her head and whispered.

Guo Xiaoniang stared at Mu Ningjia and said lukewarmly: "Okay, you have also seen your sister Xuan, you can go back." ”

"Yes." Mu Ningjia still lowered her head and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Mu Ningxuan stood up, walked to Mu Ningjia's side, took Mu Ningjia's hand, and brought Mu Ningjia to her seat, "Third sister, sit next to me." ”

Mu Ningjia looked up at Mu Ningxuan, with a somewhat flattered look on her face.

Guo Xiaoniang's face instantly turned into a smile, and she said to Mu Ningxuan: "Xuan... County Lord, the third girl can't stay here. ”

"Why?" Mu Ningxuan had a cold face.

Guo Xiaoniang's face was not very natural, and said: "Lan Xiaoniang has been in poor health recently, and the third girl has to go back to accompany her." ”

"Aunt Lan is not in good health? Can you ask the doctor to see it? Mu Ningxuan didn't turn her head to look at Mu Ningjia this time, she stared at Guo Xiaoniang directly, now that Guo Xiaoniang is in the house, there is nothing wrong with her asking Guo Xiaoniang.

The corners of Guo Xiaoniang's mouth twitched a little, and she was very displeased, but she still had a smile on her face.

"County master, the slave maid has already asked for a doctor a few days ago."

Mu Ningjia has always known Guo Xiaoniang's methods, and she was afraid that she would make Guo Xiaoniang unhappy today, and her life in Mufu would be even more difficult in the future, so she hurriedly explained: "Sister Xuan, Aunt Guo has already invited a doctor for my little mother, and my little mother has been almost fine in the past two days, but my little mother is timid and weak, if I accompany me all the time..."

Mu Ningxuan patted Mu Ningjia and motioned for her not to continue talking.

"What day was it the other day? What is the doctor's last name? What medications were prescribed? Where's Fangzi? ”

Guo Xiaoniang's face was red and white when she was asked by Mu Ningxuan.

"Slave, slave forgot." Guo Xiaoniang didn't expect Mu Ningxuan to be so aggressive as soon as she returned home.

Aunt Su said loudly: "Did you forget or didn't ask a doctor at all, it's a big crime to deceive the county lord!" ”

When Guo Xiaoniang heard this, she immediately fainted.

Aunt Su directly asked someone to bring a basin of cold water over, and the whole basin of cold water poured on Guo Xiaoniang's face and body, but Guo Xiaoniang did not wake up.

Fortunately, the relatives hadn't come yet, and Guo Xiaoniang was helped out of the flower hall by the maids.

Guo Xiaoniang left, and Mu Ningjia couldn't close her mouth in shock.

Seeing Mu Ningjia's surprised appearance, Mu Ningxuan smiled and said, "Third sister, sit down, don't be afraid of Aunt Guo in the future, with me, no one in this house dares to bully you." ”

"Thank you, Sister Xuan." Mu Ningjia stood up and prepared to salute Mu Ningxuan.

Mu Ningxuan hurriedly grabbed Mu Ningjia, "You and my sister, you don't have to be so angry. ”

Mu Ningjia Mu Mu sat back next to Mu Ningxuan, just saw Mu Ningxuan dealing with Guo Xiaoniang, Mu Ningjia was a little afraid of Mu Ningxuan.
