Hua Mian turned her eyes to look at Rong Laiqing, but saw that her face was unwavering, and she was completely indulgent. If Yi'er's pregnancy is punctured, it can only be Rong Laiqing who suffers. It's a pity that she still expects to keep this child, and I don't know if she is stupid or innocent.

At this moment, she didn't know what to do. If the child in Yi'er's womb is saved, the matter of Rong Laiqing and Rong Laichuan's secret communication will be exposed; If you help Rong Laiqing, you will kill another innocent life.

After thinking about it, she finally decided to give up the child in Yi'er's womb, and she should repay Rong Laichuan for saving his life that day. As for the child who was not born, on the first seven days, she would recite a sutra for him to atone for her sins.

In order to avoid any more bad luck, Pei Gongcuo asked Yi'er to go to the Shen Criminal Division to receive the punishment. Before leaving, Hua Mian saw that her eyes were full of resentment. I just don't know who she hates in her heart?

After being tortured, it is said that she was not lightly injured, and Rong Laiqing refused to be treated by the doctor because she was annoyed by what she had done. The reason for this is unknown to others, but Hua Mian knows it.

After three days of careful conditioning, Hua Mian and Wan Tao's injuries have been cured. In three days, it is the centennial celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Nanxiu, Hua Mian asked Wan Tao to take the new clothes, and after trying them on, it was very suitable, and I couldn't help but sigh Pei Gongcuo's intentions.

After lying down for several days in a row, the mood was inevitably depressed, and Hua Mian called Snowball to go out to let off steam. It was aimless.,As a result, I walked to the imperial study.。 Hua Mian had never been to Pei Gongcuo's imperial study, and his curiosity led to the palace gate. I didn't expect to see Xiao Yangzi here.

She stepped forward happily and said, "It seems that what Wantao said is true, you are really on an errand by the emperor's side." ”

Xiao Yangzi respectfully knelt down and gave Hua Mian a big salute and said: "Only the slave can have today, and it is all thanks to the blessing of the Burmese concubine." ”

Hua Mian said disapprehantly: "Get up." Why do you need so much courtesy with me? ”

Xiao Yangzi got up and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, Concubine Zhuang Xian and the Queen Mother both wanted the minion's head that day, if it weren't for the emperor's cover, the slave wouldn't be able to see you today." ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hua Mian was a little surprised, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Yangzi then took the trouble to recount the events of that day, and finally concluded: "The emperor protects the slave for nothing else, just because he cares about the mother, so the slave is grateful for the emperor's life-saving grace, and even more grateful for the grace of the mother." ”

In fact, without Xiao Yangzi to explain, Hua Mian can also understand Pei Gongcuo's approach. She seemed to owe him more and more.

She smiled slightly: "It's good if you know how to be grateful." ”

"What the mother said is that the slave must be remembered."

"By the way, hasn't the emperor gone down to court yet?"

"It's coming." Xiao Yangzi pointed to the Taishi chair next to the wall, "Niangniang, sit and wait." ”

"No, I'll take a look around. You can get busy. Seeing Xiao Yangzi standing still, Hua Mian said strangely, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xiao Yangzi said with some embarrassment: "This imperial study is free of idlers, if you are left here alone, I am afraid that the emperor will blame." ”

Hua Mian took a look, although this imperial study was spacious and atmospheric, it was also concise and clear. Facing the door is a huge mahogany table, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, on both sides of the Bogu shelf, and behind it is a bookshelf. A set of tea sets and a pair of chessboards are placed on the desks on the left hand side of the door, a Taishi chair is placed on each side, and a long couch is placed in the corner. On the right hand side of the entrance is a large dragon bed, which is supposed to be a temporary resting place when busy or tired.

At a glance, Hua Mian didn't see anything different, since Pei Gongcuo had set up the rules, she didn't make an exception, she just said: "Forget it, I didn't make a special trip to find the emperor, so I'll go back." ”

The moment Hua Mian turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the bonsai on the imperial case seemed to be not just a pot of ornamental plants, but an orange tree. Her eyes lit up, and she walked forward quickly, yes, it was indeed a golden orange. She hadn't eaten a tribute orange for a long time, and when she saw such a lovely orange at this moment, she only felt salivating. But at this moment, there was a sound of humming in her ears, and Hua Mian looked down and saw that Snowball was opening her mouth wide and drooling happily.

She touched Snowball's head and said, "It's useless, it's too embarrassing for your master and my face." Take the saliva back for me. ”

Snowball snorted and swallowed her saliva back.

Hua Mian rubbed its furry body with satisfaction, and turned to Xiao Yangzi and said, "I like this pot of oranges." If I take it, the emperor won't mind, right? ”

Xiao Yangzi said with a smile: "Niangniang said that I laughed, the emperor doesn't know who loves you, let alone a pot of oranges, you just want the moon in the sky, and it is estimated that the emperor will pick it for you without saying a word." Since you like it, I'll have someone send it to you. ”

Hua Mian happily accepted Xiao Yangzi's kindness and returned to Shuihua Palace with Snowball with satisfaction.

Pei Gongcuo returned to the imperial study after the court, and always felt that something seemed to be missing on the desk, and he was stunned for a while before realizing that the pot of ornamental oranges that Di Li had paid tribute to him for many years was gone. There are some things that I don't care about when I'm around, and when I lose them, I feel that it's not as good as it is. He said to Fu Xin beside him: "What about the pot of ornamental oranges?" ”

Xiao Yangzi was grinding ink on the side, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Burmese said that she liked this pot of oranges very much, so the slave dared to send someone to Shuihua Palace." ”

Pei Gongcuo said appreciatively: "Well, well done. In the future, as long as she likes my things, she will take them. When the words fell, his eyes lit up, "You mean that Concubine Burmese came to the imperial study to look for me?" ”

Xiao Yangzi thought about it, and Concubine Fang seemed to have said that she didn't come to find the emperor on a special trip, but she was afraid that she would disappoint the emperor by saying it, so she said euphemistically: "She came out with a snowball for a walk, and she came here unconsciously." ”

Pei Gongcuo was overjoyed, and he had no intention of reviewing it, so he threw the wolf and went straight to Shuihua Palace.

As soon as he entered the Shuihua Palace, an unknown object flew over his head, and Pei Gongcuo subconsciously caught it. He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw what it was. Because it was an ornamental orange that was missing.

He looked at the phoenix tree in the courtyard in the direction where the object was flying, and saw Hua Mian sitting on the tall trunk kicking his slender calves, frowning and eating the ornamental orange in his hand, tasting it and throwing it out. Only then did he notice that there were already a lot of broken oranges scattered in the courtyard, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's an ornamental orange, not for eating."

Hua Mian followed the prestige, and when he saw that it was Pei Gongcuo, he jumped down from the tree quickly, ran to him and said, "Isn't this the tribute orange from southern Xinjiang?" ”

Pei Gongcuo rubbed her hair helplessly and said, "Sour or not?" ”

Hua Mian nodded and said, "Sour!" Snowball is so sour that she can't wait to eat dirt. ”

Pei Gongcuo said: "I'm very curious, I know that things are hard to swallow when I taste them, why do you want to kill them all?" ”

Hua Mian said in annoyance: "They were the ones who harmed me first." ”

Pei Gongcuo raised his eyebrows and said, "So, are you taking revenge?" ”

Hua Mian pouted: "Not exactly. I also made a bet with myself. ”

"Oh? What bet was made? Pei Gongcuo had a faint smile in his eyes.

"Bet one of them is sweet."

"The result?"

"There hasn't been one yet."

"Do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"Probably not."

"And you're going to do such a boring thing?"

"yes, I did it because I was bored."

"You!" Pei Gongcuo said dotingly, "If you are bored in the future, you will send someone to find me, will I accompany you to relieve your boredom?" ”

"Hmm." Hua Mian nodded, and stuffed another petal of orange into her mouth.

Pei Gongcuo was just about to reach out and give her a brain meltdown, when he saw that her eyes were shining, and she looked extremely excited. He was wondering, but suddenly a petal of orange was stuffed into his mouth. When a slightly sour sweetness filled his tongue, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. She won the bet!

He said curiously, "What are you betting?" ”

Hua Mian said happily: "If I win, the emperor will take me out of the palace to play." ”

Pei Gongcuo almost bit his tongue when he heard this, and he said speechlessly: "What does this have to do with me?" I didn't bet with you. ”

Hua Mian suddenly drooped his face and said, "You are Laipi." ”

Pei Gongcuo also made a straight face: "You are just a laipi." ”

"Okay?" Hua Mian changed her flattering face.

"Not good. I didn't let you pay for my oranges, but you asked for it first. ”

"Huh? Repay? Hua Mian couldn't help muttering, "When did the emperor become so stingy?" ”

Pei Gongcuo said: "Although I am generous to you, I don't like to waste for no reason. Therefore, if you want to go out of the palace to play, take good care of the ornamental orange pot for me, and when it is full of oranges again, I will take you out of the palace. ”

"Huh? How long will it take? ”

"Soon, just a month or two."

“……”

Hua Mian was completely depressed, she turned around and walked under the phoenix tree, hugged the snowball that had eaten a mouthful of soil into her arms, and said with hatred: "Look at you are still greedy, next time you eat indiscriminately, it will not only be as simple as eating soil, maybe you don't know how to lose your little life." ”

When the words fell, she hurriedly "bah" and said: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, Xueqiu Fu has a big life, and he will definitely live a long life, next time remember to eat a trench and grow wise, do you hear?" ”

Seeing that Snowball only looked at herself with a bitter face, without even saying anything, she poked its head angrily: "Remember? ”

Snowball turned her face away to look at Pei Gongcuo, and saw that he was looking at herself with a smile, so she swooped out of Hua Remembrance, ran to Pei Gongcuo's feet and waged his tail and begged for mercy. Pei Gongcuo sighed helplessly, picked it up and walked under the grape trellis to pick a bunch of grapes, and then peeled them one by one and fed them to it before it finally recovered.

At this moment, looking at Pei Gongcuo's doting behavior towards Xueqiu, Hua Mian actually had a feeling of harmony and happiness between ordinary couples, and her heart softened a little.
