Princess Mujing's birthday and the Queen Mother's birthday are less than 20 days apart, compared to the Queen Mother's birthday, Princess Mujing's birthday banquet this year can be described as low-key to the lowest in history, Princess Mujing, who used to be the most popular in the past, but this year she let go early, the generals of the previous dynasty worked hard, this year's birthday everything is simple, the harem couldn't help but be surprised, but these have nothing to do with Mo Ying, although Princess Mu Jing's birthday banquet also has to worry about Concubine Shu, but Concubine Mu also knows the relationship between Mo Ying and Mu Jing, and she doesn't dare to trouble Mo Ying a little, for fear of causing trouble to her.

The preparations for the Queen Mother's birthday have also come to an end, and Mo Ying can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Liniang and Mo Ying exchanged the birthday gifts of Princess Mujing one by one.

Putting down the gift list, Mo Ying rubbed her somewhat stiff neck and said, "Okay, okay, that's it!" The position of this harem is not high, so we can't be too eye-catching. ”

Li Niang put away the gift list and said with a smile: "The little master is too careful, Princess Mu Jing is going to leave the palace to live in the princess's mansion in the future, let's be safe with her for the past two years, the gift is just for show, and the slave maid said, the set of pearl head noodles that the lady lady helped pick is good, and the little master doesn't like it, and it will save face if you send it out!" ”

"My family background is not high, there are not many favors, that set of heads and faces doesn't look like I should have, you also said, it's good to be safe with Princess Mujing in the past two years, she is eighteen this year, although the emperor's daughter is not in a hurry to marry, but eighteen is not small, at the latest next year, the candidate for the horse should be selected, let's send a set of pearls to the head and face is not tight, blocking the way of others, it is still us who will be in trouble in the future!"

In the way of others? Li Niang was a little puzzled and asked, "Is the little master afraid that the gifts he will give will weigh on others?" But it's nothing, the princess will go out of the palace to build a mansion sooner or later, even if someone is unhappy for a while, she won't hold a grudge against it! ”

"You, you only know one and you don't know the other." Mo Ying sighed and said, "Princess Mujing hasn't chosen a horse yet, but Liu Cainu and Zhang Cairen are all prepared at home, they all have brothers, and they are about the same age as Princess Mujing, and they don't even have a room until now, what do you say for?" ”

Li Niang suddenly realized, "No wonder Liu Cainu has been stammering the princess since she entered the palace, when the princess bullied the little master, she didn't make any less mistakes!" ”

"You know what she did badly?" Mo Ying smiled.

Li Niang was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said in an urn voice: "The slaves used to do rough work, and the slaves there were far away from the masters. ”

"Okay, you don't have to feel guilty, you didn't know me at that time," Mo Ying pulled over a large pillow and leaned on it, "Even if there is no such thing as recruiting horses, I don't plan to send it too brilliantly, last time I had a birthday, Princess Mujing was also attentive, we can't be too perfunctory, the pearl head is precious, but the princess is not lacking, our thing is not valuable, but it is not light, in line with my position, I also used a little thought, just right." ”

"It's still the little master who thinks thoroughly!"

"Okay, don't talk about her, Aunt Sun and Princess Mujing's birthdays are next to each other, Aunt Sun doesn't like the tricks in the palace, you can make the picture I drew last time." Mo Ying asked.

"It was done three days ago, the little master has been too busy in the past two days, the slave and maid haven't come to say in a hurry, the slave and maid have taken a good look at it, Wang Xiuniang's craftsmanship really didn't say, and the little master's painting is exactly the same."

"If you embroider well, you will reward her, and the housekeeper of the embroidery room will also give her ten taels of silver, and it will be indispensable to trouble the embroidery room in the future."

Jingzhai's previous needlework was all done by Zhixing, Xiaohong and Zhiping's craftsmanship is average, Liniang is basically a waste, since the apricot lost his memory, he has never touched the needlework, and others dare not say more, pastries will not be done, and the needlework will not be normal.

Thinking of this time again, Mo Ying still felt a faint pain in her heart, said that she was sleepy, and sent Liniang out.

Tossing and turning all night, sleeping very unsteadily, the more I don't want to think about something, the more something comes to mind.

The next day, Mo Ying used the excuse of copying Buddhist scriptures and hid in the small ancestral hall.

Walking in the bazaar, there are not too many people, except for the day of the big market every Friday every month, the traders in the suburbs will basically not come to set up a stall, although there are many people in the city and the price is high, but the stall fee is also high, and the city also needs three copper plates, it is a small business, so a toss, and can not earn much, to catch up with the day of the big market, the booth fee is only half charged, and the entrance fee is also free, which attracts a lot of remote traders to take the position before dawn.

Mo Ying relied on her memory, went around for two hours, was discouraged several times, and almost gave up before she found the place she was looking for.

This is the small corner door in the northwest corner of Mofu, the door is a small warehouse, put some old things that are not used, after the warehouse, through a corridor, there is an iron door, in addition to tidying up the house during the New Year, the eliminated items will be sent over, this iron door will never open on weekdays, the Mo family is not rich, the small maid and the maid are only six or seven in total, and no one looks at this corner door alone.

Moying squatted down in the corner, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...... I guess that's it! ”

took out a small dagger, Mo Ying slowly scraped off the stone slurry on the side of the green brick, found a thin wire, slowly poked it in, and immediately smiled.

The green bricks were slowly pulled out, and there was a small cyan purse at the crack.

The color of the purse was a little old, and the foam tree blew the floating ash, and opened it carefully, and inside was a bunch of keys.

Looking at this set of keys, Mo Ying sighed, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

After putting away the key and resetting the green bricks, Mo Ying took a deep look at Mo Fu again and got up to leave.

In a blink of an eye, Princess Mu Jing's birthday has arrived, this is Mu Jing's eighteenth birthday, although Mu Jing has mentioned that everything should be simple, but Mu Jing has not yet chosen a horse, and then from Jane, there will still be a banquet.

The place of the banquet was selected in the southeast of the palace in the heart of the lake pavilion, the lake pavilion said that it was a pavilion, at first it was also a small palace, and then the palace was transformed several times, this place is partial, there are many water tanks around, as if it is separated, no one lives on the left and right, simply leave the main hall, open up everywhere, and several waterholes around it are also opened, forming the appearance of three sides facing the water.

The former emperor also entertained foreign envoys here several times, but later due to trouble, it was idle.

On the way to the Huxin Pavilion, Concubine Shu told Mo Ying about the origin of the Huxin Pavilion.

"It turns out that it is not the pavilion we often say, when I just knew that I was going to set up a banquet in the Lake Center Pavilion a few days ago, I thought that this pavilion was a little bigger, how could I sit down!" Mo Ying suddenly realized.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "This time it's not just a birthday, tonight, we can only do it through the curtain." ”

Mo Ying knew that it was time for the princess to choose a concubine, and the minister's family had this in mind, and they would bring their son into the palace tonight.
