After freshening up and changing clothes, Mu Biwei asked Diecui to comb the Xianyou bun for herself, chose the two plain ones in the hairpin ring given by Ji Shen to wear, and personally pasted the plum forehead in front of the bronze mirror, and changed into a white tooth-colored dark embroidered collared skirt, and the outside was draped with a ethereal placket wide-sleeved brocade robe, and the robe was embroidered with deep and shallow, open or closed mandala flowers and leaves, lingering, although the color is not as dazzling as the garnet red, but because of the delicacy of the embroidery, it is also shocking, but the plain skirt under the robe is extraordinarily quiet, and a primrose-colored long silk is drapedAfter looking at it for a moment, Fang said, "Let's go." ”

When she returned to the Xuanshu Palace, she saw that the utensils prepared outside the dormitory were still in place, Mu Biwei knew that Ji Shen hadn't gotten up yet, Ruan Wenyi at the entrance of the hall nodded to her slightly, confirmed her thoughts, and pointed not far away, Mu Biwei left the palace door with him and walked outside, Ruan Wenyi whispered: "Your Majesty doesn't like to be woken up, yesterday was an exception." ”

"Slave and maid, thank you for your guidance." Mu Bi smiled slightly, Ying Ying saluted, but was stopped by Ruan Wenyi lifting the dust, and said lightly: "It's just a gossip, after all, Tsing Yi is now the proud person in front of His Majesty, if Tsing Yi entered the dormitory rashly without knowing the bottom, and His Majesty turned around and was angry, I am afraid that I am reluctant to punish Tsing Yi, in the end, it is also our family and the children under our hands are pitiful, our family tells Tsing Yi His Majesty's habits, most of them are still for themselves." ”

Mu Biwei heard this, her expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "Eunuch Ruan has a straightforward temperament, and the slaves and maids are very admired. ”

"Mu Qingyi laughed, our family is a waste, where do you dare to be admired by Tsing Yi?" Ruan Wenyi said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "But our family really admires General Mu, oh, now I want to call Mu Yin, speaking of which when the first emperor was there, Mu Yin is also the same as Nie Shilang in the current time to read the first emperor, but Mu Yin is worried about Sheji, and he invited himself to be stationed at the side, our family has not seen him many times in recent years, and yesterday I saw General Mu actually reduced a lot, and our family felt uncomfortable......"

"Eunuch Lao Ruan is worried." Mu Biwei sighed and said, "Fortunately, now that the slave's father and brother have been transferred back to Yedu to serve, there is a grandmother and mother, keeping an eye on their diet, and the slave and maid can be more or less relieved in this palace." ”

Ruan Wenyi looked at her and said with a smile: "Mu Qingyi is a smart person, and our family doesn't go around in circles with you - although Mu Yin lost the Snow Blue Pass once, he is still at the grade of the third grade, and the original General Mu Xiao has even been promoted a few levels......"

Mu Bi interrupted his laughter with a slight smile: "What the eunuch said is that it is just a matter of the previous dynasty, but the slave and maid dare not listen to it." She smiled virtuously, and even had a hint of shyness and guilt, "If it weren't for the slaves who didn't understand the rules yesterday and didn't regard serving His Majesty's pen and ink as a big thing, they wouldn't have ......."

"Mu Yin and Mu Sima's errand belongs to the previous dynasty, Mu Qingyi didn't dare to ask more, it was a woman's virtue, and our family didn't talk about it." Ruan Wenyi didn't think it was wrong, and said word by word, "So what our family wants to say is that Mu Qingyi was born in a family of eunuchs, his father is the third grade, and his brother also has the position of Sima in Shangzhou. ”

"The slave and maid of the eunuch are terrified!" Mu Biwei listened, gradually smiled, stared at him and said slowly, "Don't forget, the eunuch didn't forget that when the slaves and maids entered the palace before, the positions and various rules were the discussions of the prime ministers, and they were also the orders of the queen mother!" Although the slave maid is dull, she also knows that as a woman, she should be respectful and obedient, not to mention that the slave maid entered the palace in order to atone for the sins of her father and brother. Do your best to repay Your Majesty! As for Qu Cai, who the eunuch said...... The slave and maid do not feel wronged at all, it is the blessing of the slave and maid to serve His Majesty, so please don't talk about it in the future! ”

Ruan Wenyi saw that she was about to leave, squinted her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mu Qingyi, what if such words are not said by the slave maid, but by the queen mother?" ”

Mu Biwei's footsteps suddenly paused, then turned her head, and saluted solemnly: "Even the queen mother wants to be promoted, and the slave maid does not dare to be it, the slave and maid only hope to be able to serve Your Majesty in this life, talk to your heart, and repay Your Majesty's forgiveness!" ”

"Mu Qingyi is really leaky." Seeing that Mu Biwei walked simply this time, Ruan Wenyi shook her head, sighed not too much, and followed with a step.

When he arrived at the door of the palace, he saw that Mu Biwei did not stop, but pushed away the line and dodged in.

The little chamberlain guarding the gate of the hall gestured to Ruan Wenyi with his eyes, Ruan Wenyi waved his hand at them, and looked at the hall with a heavy heart-

Mu Biwei is not wearing silk shoes on her feet at the moment, but short boots, but stepping on Ji Shen's dormitory is as quiet and silent as silk shoes, and the soles of her feet even have a soft feeling, this is because the entire dormitory is paved with thick brocade felt, and the red twelve coats of arms at the bottom of the Luo tent hang down layer upon layer, and the bedroom exudes a faint ambergris, because Ji Shen is still asleep, except for a palace lamp covered with a thick gauze lampshade used to get up at night, a thick tent is pulled up everywhere, and the faint light of the palace lamp is borrowed. Mu Biwei moved to the incense burner, opened the lid and looked at the eyes, but saw that there was only a small piece of spice left in the incense burner, so she took the lid and flicked it to make it burn faster, and covered it back.

Then she sat on the couch not far from the Luo tent - she got up early because she wanted to go back to the Fenghe Courtyard to freshen up and change clothes, and the matter of her father and brother was resolved, her mind was relieved, and she unconsciously leaned on the hidden sac that Ji Shen usually relied on and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was bright, but there was a layer of dark curtain hanging around her, and when she looked down, she was lying on Ji Shen's bed, but she didn't see Ji Shen next to her, she frowned, stretched out her hand to open the tent, and called a stack of cui.

Diecui really entered, her face was a little embarrassed, Mu Biwei saw that there was no one behind her, and she was indeed in Ji Shen's bedroom, so she frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"After His Majesty got up, he saw Tsing Yi falling asleep on the couch, and was worried that Tsing Yi was cold, so he hugged Tsing Yi and slept here, and told the slave maid to tell Tsing Yi to rest." Diecui first explained why she was on Ji Shen's bed, and whispered, "Originally, Your Majesty didn't plan to leave Jique Palace today, but ......"

Mu Biwei saw her speak, and her face sank: "Say it clearly!" ”

"Concubine Sun said that today is Xiao He Meiren's birthday, and she specially held a small banquet for Xiao He Meiren in the New Year's Prayer Hall, and invited His Majesty over under this excuse." Diecui said carefully.

"Little He Beauty?" When Mu Biwei bribed Gu Changfu to explain the nobles in the palace before, the key questions were all about concubines and concubines, as for the beauties, talents, and lovers of the scattered numbers, Gu Changfu passed by, Mu Biwei also felt that time was tight at that time, and there was an example of Ronghua's rapid promotion in front of him, these scattered people, I am afraid that they are all Ji Shen's temporary interest, and there is no family background to stay in the scattered number, otherwise there are not many high-ranking concubines in the harem now, and Ji Shen even dares to try to help the Sun family who is an orphan girl or a palace maid, which can be seen that in addition to his own special case, As long as the people next to him can be favored, are they afraid that they will not have a place?

This will hear that Xiao He Meiren can't help but be at a loss.

Fortunately, Diecui has served in the palace for a few years, and the nobles of all sizes are not clear about it, and explained at the moment: "This little He beauty is from the palace of Sun Guifei, so Sun Guifei will hold a birthday banquet for her." ”

"So it seems that Sun Guifei loves her, why is she just a beauty here?" Mu Biwei asked in a low voice as she got up.

Diecui pursed his lips and said with a low smile: "Don't worry, Qingyi, Ruan Eunuch followed His Majesty to the New Year's Prayer Hall, and Gu Xi's servant is in charge outside, there is no one outside the dormitory, and besides, Your Majesty's dormitory is so big, let's talk in a whisper, and the people outside put their heads on the door of the hall and can't hear clearly." ”

"I see, you get down to business." Mu Biwei put on her robe and smoothed the corners of her skirt, picked up the hairpin ring on the side of the couch and re-combed her sideburns, and said.

"In fact, this little He beauty has only served His Majesty a few times, she was born beautiful, but she is only beautiful, and there is Sun Guifei, the lord of the country and the city, and the palace says that His Majesty gave her a name just to make a face for Sun Guifei." Diecui whispered, "I heard that Concubine Sun suddenly picked her to serve Your Majesty, and there is a reason - it is for He Ronghua!" ”

Mu Bi neatly pulled a simple snail bun, touched the sideburns and felt that it was quite smooth, and took a small target lens from his sleeve to look at it, and then asked: "What is the matter with He Ronghua?" Don't tell me, because she has a last name? ”

"Tsing Yi doesn't believe it, but this thing is like this." Diecui pursed her lips and said, "When He Ronghua entered the palace before, because he was favored, he was really pressed by Sun Guifei a few times when he met with Sun Guifei, but her appearance was not bad, and she gradually became the second person under Sun Guifei, even Sun Guifei didn't dare to suppress her at will, but He Ronghua also has a good memory, so he was promoted to a world woman, taking advantage of the fact that His Majesty and everyone in the harem went to Lantai to enjoy the orchid, and he fell into Tang Longhui's face - the slave maid was naturally not there at the time, but I heard other palace maids who were waiting, When Tang Longhui was so angry that he went down the steps of Lantai, if it wasn't for the female officials around him to help him, he almost fell down directly! Tang Longhui and Sun Guifei didn't have a relationship before they became concubines, she was able to cross Cui Lierong and Ouyang Zhaoxun side by side, Sun Guifei could help say a lot of things, after this one thing, Sun Guifei naturally wanted to help her get back face, so she chose this little He beauty to serve His Majesty, and invited He Ronghua to pray for the New Year, and called Xiao He beauty in public, and kept saying He ......"

Hearing this, Mu Biwei smiled and said, "So what did He Ronghua do?" ”

"The slave heard that He Ronghua watched with great interest, and when it was almost time, she left and left, and did nothing afterwards." Diecui said, "Everyone in the palace knows that He Ronghua is a powerful person, but in the end, the most favored is Concubine Sun...... Naturally, His Majesty is not unfond of Tsing Yi, otherwise how could he personally hug Tsing Yi and take a nap in the royal resting place, and he is afraid that Tsing Yi will feel cold? ”

Mu Biwei ignored her relief, but said thoughtfully: "Are you afraid of Sun Guifei when He Ronghua is he?" Sun Guifei's move is so small, she just wants to use this indifference to show that no matter how low the official position of the He family is, in the end, she is also the daughter of the official family, and Sun Guifei is from a humble background! ”

Diecui was stunned, and when he was about to ask carefully, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open - both of them were shocked, but they saw that it was Gu Changfu who came in, and saw that Mu Biwei was in full swing, and was sitting and talking to Diecui, Gu Changfu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Diecui didn't come out as soon as he entered the hall, and now there is something, I'm afraid that the little waiter will be reckless, and only I will come and take a look." ”

Mu Bi got up slightly and said, "I just woke up, but I'm tired of Gu Gonggong." ”

"We both belong to the five products of the inner division, why should we be so polite?" Gu Changfu smiled, and did not expose her behavior of not leaving the emperor's bed immediately after she woke up, and said, "The peach branch of the Qilan Hall is outside, saying that it was ordered by Ronghua Niangniang to invite Tsing Yi to go to the Qilan Hall to enjoy the plum blossoms - the few green calyx plums near the left side of the Qilan Hall of Pingle Palace are treasures in the palace, and there are no other palaces!" ”

"Qilan Palace?" Mu Biwei's expression was still calm, but Diecui couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, "What does Rong Hua Niangniang want to do when she asks Tsing Yi to come over?!" ”
