As October approaches, the weather is getting cooler, and the wind and dew are clear.

The cold moon walked aimlessly in Han Xiangyuan. In the Hanxiang Garden in autumn, the leaves of the maple trees turn from green to red, dancing like fire in the autumn breeze. However, tulipwood and horsetail wood have turned yellow and withered, and pieces of leaves fall with the wind, and yellow leaves are piled up all over the ground, and they are very sluggish.

"Anyway, the most favored person in this palace is the concubine Su. She was just a concubine's daughter, but as soon as she entered the palace, she was named a side concubine. The prince stayed with her for most of the month. I heard that this reward is also endless, yesterday just finished the reward, and this day will continue to be rewarded, this apple smoke pavilion is about to become a treasure pavilion. Two maidservants came up the path, and one of them said.

"Who said it wasn't, it can be seen how much the prince loves her, she spoils her like a baby every day, holding it for fear of falling, and holding it for fear of melting. Now even the slaves and maids of the Smoke Pavilion have a light on their faces, and they are all arrogant. Alas, we don't have that blessing. The other maidservant sighed, her face full of disappointment.

The maidservant who spoke first leaned into the other ear and said, "There are rumors in the house that if this concubine Su can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince, it is not certain whether the position of this princess will be changed." ”

"What are you two chewing on the root of your tongue? I'm not afraid to flash my tongue! Mother Wu had a serious face and walked forward quickly from behind them.

When the two little girls saw Mother Wu, their faces were full of panic, "Mother Wu." ”

Mother Wu stared at them for a while, until she looked at the two of them uncomfortable, and then she spoke, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, as a slave and maid, just do your duty, don't think about something all day long." Whatever I hear, what I see, rot to my stomach, dare to talk about the master behind my back, I think you are dead. Mother Wu said, stretching out her finger and tapping the little girl's head hard.

"It's good to have touched me this time, if anyone else hears it, huh." The two of them couldn't help but be frightened when they heard this, and their bodies couldn't help but shiver.

"Next time, if I hear these words again, watch your skin!" After Wu's mother finished speaking, she walked past them and left quickly.

The two girls listened to Wu's mother's reprimand, and were afraid, but they didn't dare to delay anymore and left in a hurry.

After they were all gone, Han Yuefang walked out from behind the bushes on the side.

"Miss, the slave maid is going to teach these two little girls a lesson." Zi Mo was angry on the side, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush out.

Hanyue smiled bitterly, "However, what they said is also true, isn't it?" You can teach them two a lesson, but can you stop the mouths of everyone in this house? ”

Zi Mo listened to Han Yue's words, and instantly looked like a deflated ball, "Then can you just condone it?" ”

Hanyue shook her head, her tone a little melancholy, "What else can I do?" If the mouth grows on someone else, we can't control it if we want to. ”

Zi Mo looked up at Han Yue, and saw that Han Yue's face was calm, but there was a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows that could not be hidden.

At this moment, Winter Painting came to the palace kitchen alone to get the stewed papaya snow clams for the cold moon. But when he saw that Mother Wu and Mother Jiang were in the kitchen, he saluted and said, "Mother Wu, Mother Jiang." ”

"You see, this winter painting girl is just likable." Mother Jiang said to Mother Wu with a smile on her face.

"The princess's snow clams have been stewed, I'll get them for you." Mother Wu said and turned around and walked away.

"Mother Jiang, you are also here to serve food to Concubine Su?" In the middle of waiting, Winter Painting asked.

"Yes, Concubine Su has to eat this golden blood bird's nest every day." Mother Jiang said very proudly, and then pretended to look at the winter painting casually.

"Golden Blood Bird's Nest?" This golden silk blood bird's nest has a scarce production, high medicinal value, nourishing and nourishing, it can be described as an extremely valuable tonic. This Concubine Su eats every day? Winter painting was amazed.

Mother Jiang saw the expression of the winter painting in her eyes, but she did not show her face.

Mother Wu took a good meal of papaya snow clams, and Donghua carefully put it into the food box, and was about to leave, when she heard Jiang's mother call her, "Donghua girl, let's stop by and go together." ”

After walking out of the kitchen for a while, Mother Jiang said, "Winter painting girl, our concubine Su wants to meet you." ”

"See me?" Winter Painting was shocked when he heard this. She asked herself if she had never had any contact with the people in the Tobacco Pavilion, why this Concubine Su suddenly wanted to see her, she was really puzzled. But Concubine Su's order could not be ignored, so Dong Hua had to obediently follow Mother Jiang towards the Smoke Pavilion.

When I arrived at the Apple Smoke Pavilion, I saw Su Yanyan, who was dressed in a cold smoke purple butterfly and wearing a splendid robe, sitting leisurely on a carved chair and drinking tea.

"Slave maid winter painting, I've seen Concubine Su." Winter painting stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Well, get up." Su Yuyan said softly, with a kind smile on her face.

After Dong Hua got up, she stood aside tremblingly, she didn't know what this Concubine Su was calling her for.

"You don't have to be nervous, I called you here today, but I want your help over a small matter." After Su Yanyan finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang's mother.

Jiang's mother understood, and she held a small cloth bag with exquisite embroidery in her hand and handed it to the winter picture. Seeing this, Dong Hua hesitated a little, not knowing whether to reach out and take it, she hesitated for a while, and finally reached out and took the cloth bag. When she opened the cloth bag, she saw that the bag was full of broken silver with white flowers. Dong Hua stared intently at the silver, she had never seen so much money in her life! Although it is broken silver, so much broken silver is beyond her monthly money for several years.

Mother Jiang struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly said, "Concubine Su knows that your family is poor, you have a sick mother, and you have several younger brothers and sisters to take care of, and these silver are a little bit of Concubine Su's heart." ”

Dong Hua swallowed her saliva, although she was not smart, she also knew that there was no free lunch in this world, "Then what does Concubine Su want me to do?" ”

Su Yuyan saw that Donghua's heart was moved, and she smiled charmingly, and a shrewd light flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything big, just ask you to report to me all the big and small things that happened in Han Yuxuan." ”

Dong Hua listened to Su Yanyan's words, biting her lip tightly, her eyes rolling slightly, and she could see that she was doing a strong ideological struggle. Su Yanyan was not in a hurry to urge her, just drank tea and waited quietly on the side.

Donghua hesitated for a long time, and she looked at the silver in the cloth bag, which was enough to cure her mother's illness and ensure that her younger siblings had no worries about food and clothing. Besides, Concubine Su just asked her to report the news, not to do anything heinous. She calmed down, took a deep breath, and finally made up her mind, "Slave, thank you Concubine Su." ”

Su Yanyan looked at her and smiled with satisfaction, this smile was like a mandala slowly blooming in the nine mist, beautiful and weird.
