Chapter 131: Doubts Through the Years (3)
Mu Lan didn't notice the change in her wife's mood, and said to herself: "The slave maid was still very confused at the time, who was Lan'er that the old lady was talking about, the old lady had never called the slave maid like this, so it shouldn't be me, the blue ......."
"Mu Lan," Xiao Yuexi suddenly interrupted her, and said with a complicated face: "You go out of the palace and help me check the matter." ”
As soon as he heard that he could leave the palace, Mu Lan's eyes were full of joy, but he heard Xiao Yuexi say solemnly: "The stakes are very high, and it may also be dangerous, you have to be careful and pay attention to proportion." ”
Mu Lan was stunned.
In the past, if Xiao Yuexi had any important instructions, he would hand them over to Mukou to do, and there was no need to tell them so solemnly, Mukou would do things well.
Now that Cardamom is gone, the only person Xiao Yuexi can trust is her......
A hint of firmness appeared in Mu Lan's eyes, and she nodded solemnly: "Madame, just give orders!" ”
After a while, Mu Lan was ready to leave the palace on the hour, Xiao Yuexi was still "grounded", but she also personally sent her to the gate of Qingliang Palace.
Before parting, Xiao Yuexi couldn't help but admonish: "Be careful, those people know what you are investigating, and they may try to obstruct it, you ......"
Mu Lan smiled indifferently: "Madam, don't worry!" It's you, the slave is out of the palace, and there is no one around you. ”
Xiao Yuexi said: "And Ah Shuang, it's okay." ”
Regarding the origin of the wind, frost and snow, as well as the matter of the Zangfeng Pavilion, Xiao Yuexi never had time to tell Mu Lan in detail, and Mu Lan only knew that this Ah Shuang was picked up by his wife from the bandits' den.
Speaking of this person, Mu Lan's face was full of worry, she looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she stepped forward and lowered her voice and said: "Madam, I always think that Ah Shuang is a little strange, you should be careful, in case she seduces the emperor ......"
"Stop!" Xiao Yuexi couldn't laugh or cry. "Honestly, how many palace fighting scripts have you read these days? The imagination is so rich, it's a pity not to write a script! ”
Mu Lan said earnestly: "Madam, it is indispensable to guard against people, you better be careful, right?" ”
Xiao Yuexi: "...... Alright, alright! Take care of yourself! ”
finally sent this talker out of the palace, but Xiao Yuexi was not in a hurry to go back, but stood in place for a while.
The weather was getting colder, but the air was very good, Xiao Yuexi raised her eyes to look at the blue sky, and tried to dispel the anxiety that was blocked in her heart.
After standing for a while, he was a little tired, and estimated that Mu Yunqing was about to come back, so Xiao Yuexi planned to go back first, making the illusion of "I'm waiting for you obediently", lest he nag himself.
As soon as I turned around, I remembered a series of brisk footsteps and laughter not far away.
"Miss, run slower! This is the Cool Palace! ”
The footsteps suddenly lowered, and a crisp voice said with a little curiosity: "Huh? This is the Cool Palace, huh? ”
Nonsense! Don't you see the big plaque? Xiao Yuexi thought amusedly, clasped her arms and leaned against the door, looking at the two women walking in the distance with interest.
The leader is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and at a glance, it is difficult not to notice her smart eyes.
She was dressed as a beautiful girl, which surprised Xiao Yuexi. Since Mu Yunqing's first draft ended, the most important thing in the palace is the show girl, but these people have all settled in the show girl palace and are not allowed to go out without authorization, not to mention that the show girl has been running all the way to the vicinity of the Qingliang Palace.
Xu was aware of Xiao Yuexi's scrutinizing gaze, and the show girl looked over, immediately put away her smile, and said unhappily: "What are you staring at me all the time?" Don't you have to do anything as a palace maid? ”
Lady-in-waiting?
Xiao Yuexi lowered her eyes and looked at her clothes, the weather was not too cold, she wore a short jacket, the style was simple and monotonous, not as delicate as a show girl, no wonder she had this idea.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuexi couldn't help laughing, and the show girl became even more angry, pointing at Xiao Yuexi and saying angrily: "You rude palace maid, I'm ...... What are you doing?! ”
The palace maid beside her was desperately pulling her, whispering in her ear: "Miss, it's not right for us to sneak out, so don't get into trouble." ”
Xiao Yuexi's ears are good, how could she not hear her muttering voice because of her small voice. She glanced at the master and servant meaningfully, and said, "It's really sneaking out......"
The show girl stuck her waist and was very domineering: "What's the matter?" ”
"Oops, Miss!" The palace maid was about to cry.
Xiao Yuexi smiled and shook her head, she wasted such a good look in vain, but her brain is not very good, how can she survive in the palace if she is so willful and reckless?
But in an instant, Xiao Yuexi remembered Mu Yunqing's promise, looked at the show girl in front of her, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
The huge show girl palace, the beauty is like a cloud, and the one in front of her is not even the tip of the iceberg. Can he really do it?
Xiao Yuexi said lightly: "It's easy to do, I think about it, how should the show girl be punished for leaving the show girl's palace without permission?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, you should be punished for kneeling for three hours and copying the palace rules ten times." The sound of wind, frost and snow suddenly sounded from behind him, and then a cloak was draped on Xiao Yuexi's body.
Xiao Yuexi was stunned.
Feng Shuangxue said again: "Laughing and playing near the Qingliang Palace, speaking disrespectfully to Mrs., and being rude, you should slap your mouth for another twenty to set an example." ”
…… How long have you been watching from the sidelines?
Looking at the show girl again, she seemed to be frightened and froze in place, and after a while she said in disbelief: "Husband...... Madam? Which lady? ”
Fengshuangxue smashed her heart to the bottom with an expressionless face: "Naturally, it's Mrs. Xiao." ”
As she spoke, she called the two little eunuchs in a loud voice and said coldly, "Drag these two people back to receive the punishment." ”
"Yes!"
The show girl screamed, "What are you going to do? Why should you punish me? ”
Fengshuangxue: "What the slave maid said just now is very clear, you have violated the palace rules and you should be punished." ”
The show girl screamed: "Mrs. Xiao, you are still grounded, what qualifications do you have to punish me?" ”
Xiao Yuexi said lazily: "You said it yourself, I am Mrs. Xiao, what's wrong with punishing a show girl?" Besides, I'm just grounded, and the emperor hasn't deprived me of the right to associate with the Six Palaces, and I can still make decisions when disciplining individuals. Take it away! ”
The people were dragged away, and the Qingliang Hall regained its tranquility, and Feng Shuangxue couldn't help but say, "Madam, why are you wasting time with these little characters who don't have long brains?" ”
"How fun!" Xiao Yuexi smiled indifferently and said: "Once in a while, I have the right to watch a play, and I can change my mood, isn't it also good-oh, that's right!" ”
Xiao Yuexi said as if she remembered something: "It just so happens that you are here, so I don't need to send someone to find you." I asked Mu Lan to go out and help me check some things, and I'm going to trouble you to take her place these days. ”
Fengshuangxue took the initiative to dangle in front of Xiao Yuexi's eyes because she knew about it, and it was better for her to use herself than to find someone she didn't know very well. But after really hearing her say this, Fengshuangxue was a little surprised.
Fengshuangxue said: "Didn't Madame hate slaves before?" ”
Xiao Yuexi: Can the old accounts of "......" be turned over? She admits she was jealous, right?
"It's not very annoying, it's good that you know about it anyway."
Feng Shuangxue smiled, answered yes, and said, "The medicine has been decocted, Madame go back and drink it." ”
Xiao Yuexi sighed and obediently went back to drink the medicine.
There was nothing to do in the court, Mu Yunqing came back very early, and as soon as he saw Xiao Yuexi, he frowned.
Xiao Yuexi smiled: "What? Don't want to see me now? I frowned when I saw it. ”
Mu Yun said lightly worried: "You don't have a good face, are you unwell?" ”
It's as if she's going to be right someday! Xiao Yuexi thought sadly in her heart, but she still had a relaxed smile on her face: "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I can't sleep if I can't wait for you." ”
Mu Yun chuckled: "With such a sweet mouth, what kind of trouble is it?" ”
"Why!" Xiao Yuexi said matter-of-factly: "Am I that kind of person!" ”
Before the words fell, He Tong hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." ”
Mu Yun frowned lightly: "Why is she here again." ”
"......" Xiao Yuexi thought for a while and said, "Well, maybe it's because of me." ”
Mu Yun cast an inquiring gaze, and Xiao Yuexi briefly told what happened at the door. After hearing this, Mu Yunqing said with a cold expression: "If she really came to Xingshi to ask for guilt because of this matter, she would be a little too blind." ”
He Tong hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Then...... Do you want the queen to come in? ”
"Please."
Xiao Yuexi looked at him and didn't say anything.
Mu Yunqing: "What kind of eyes are you?" What do you want to say? ”
“…… It's nothing, I just think the women in the palace are quite pitiful. Xiao Yuexi muttered.
Mu Yun was stunned. Wretched? Maybe! What does it have to do with him? After all, they squeezed their heads out and wanted to get in.
Lu Jinxiu Shi Ran walked in, and saw Mu Yunqing peeling an orange and sending it to Xiao Yuexi's mouth, who twisted his eyebrows and refused to open his mouth.
The picture is too harmonious, but also too harsh. When Xiao Yuexi saluted her as usual, Lu Jinxiu felt that she couldn't stand her salute.
Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Lu Jinxiu smiled lightly and said softly: "Disturb the emperor's purity, and ask the emperor to forgive him." The concubine came here because she heard that Sister Xiao had punished a show girl for no reason. Thinking that the people below chewing the root of their tongues would not be credible after all, I came to ask in person. ”
Sure enough, it's because of this! Xiao Yuexi slandered, still didn't believe that Lu Jinxiu really dared to come to Xingshi for such a trivial matter.
Mu Yun said lightly: "Since you know that you are chewing the root of your tongue, why do you want to come over?" ”
Lu Jinxiu seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after squirming for a while, he said: "The concubine is also in a dilemma, if it is really for no reason, the concubine must always give an explanation to the Xiunu Palace......"
"For no reason?" Xiao Yuexi suddenly spoke, her eyes were full of smiles, as if she had heard some joke, and she was silent for a while before asking, "Is that really what the show girl said?" ”
Lu Jinxiu nodded with a complicated expression: "Yes!" ”
