"Can you show me?"

A hand stretched out, Mu Jiaren saw the reflective figure on the ground, and sighed silently in her heart, today she came over immediately after lunch, how could she still meet Han Baiyi?

It's just hard to prevent!

"No, you can't. ”

Mu Jiaren put the booklet away, her eyes a little sad.

"This official has no malicious intentions, he just wants to see what you are learning every day and communicate with each other."

"What is in the hand of the Prime Minister?" Mu Jiaren asked, pointing to a scroll in his hand.

Han Baiyi handed her the scroll, and Mu Jiaren opened it to see that it was a water conservancy drawing drawn by the Ministry of Engineering, but there were marks in a few places, which were obviously not perfect.

"Shouldn't the people in the Ministry of Industry be responsible for this? Why is the Prime Minister doing this? ”

"This is a drawing submitted by the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor is not satisfied, so he asked the lower officials to give some suggestions."

Mu Jiaren took a closer look, this engineering drawing is very cleverly designed, using dikes and curved canals to minimize the impact of floods, but this can only withstand for a while, and needs real-time maintenance, not a long-term solution.

When Ji Yanxi was in the sect, she often read books about engineering construction, so she knew a little.

"The son of the Ministry of Works' family, Ji Yanxi, he should be able to discuss it with the adults."

Han Baiyi took the scroll, got up and said thank you, and left.

Mu Jiaren saw that he didn't drive her away, so she didn't say more.

The corners of Han Baiyi's mouth raised slightly, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, if Xia Zhu was just a palace maid, how would he know Ji Yanxi? Ji Yanxi has only been back in the capital for half a year, and few people in the capital know him.

Mu Jiaren returned to the dining room after reading the book, and Bai Shao pulled her excitedly.

"Xia Zhu, I inquired about a place where making a wish is particularly effective."

It's about to be the day of the lights, and the palace people are inquiring about this.

"Really? When the time comes, you will know where there are many people? ”

"No, no, it's based on the fate."

"Do you know my eight characters?" Mu Jiaren was a little surprised.

"I don't know, and it's very expensive to use eight characters, I just said that you can't make a wish, you can't see where others are."

"Okay, so where are you asking?"

"The plum garden on the east side of the Imperial Garden, it is very effective there, and it is very suitable for you."

"Right for me?"

"yes, I counted it by your name."

Mu Jiaren thought it was funny, she wasn't really called Xia Zhu.

"Okay, I'll remember to go to the plum garden and put the lights on."

Two days later, it is the day of the lanterns, from morning to night every auspicious time there are people chanting sutras and praying, the Hokke Hall also prepared an incense burner, and the palace people of each palace can go over to pray for blessings.

At the time of the time, the palace people can put lights in the palace, because it is the palace people, so it is not allowed to be in the courtyard of the master, and the imperial garden is everyone's preferred place.

The place where Bai Peony and Mu Jiaren put the lights is in the Imperial Garden, but Bai Peony is in the bamboo forest in the north, and Mu Jiaren is in the plum garden in the east.

Before he reached the imperial garden, several palace maids came to meet him, I don't know whose sky lantern had not yet dried, and the cyan pigment on it dyed Mu Jia and Bai Shao.

"What's the matter with you!" Bai Shao looked at them angrily.

"It's because you don't have eyes, I haven't said anything if you hit my sky lantern!"

Another palace maid persuaded: "Today is an auspicious day, everyone will say a few words, two sisters, this paint can be washed off, you don't have to worry." ”

Bai Shao looked at Mu Jiaren and said, "It's definitely too late to go back and change it now, and if you miss it when the time comes, you can't let it go." ”

"What then? Why don't you wear it in the past? "Mu Jiaren doesn't mind.

"That's ...... What if it affects the fortune? Everyone was showering and changing, and we wore dirty clothes. ”

"If the two sisters don't dislike it, this place is close to our residence, let's go and change our clothes." The palace maid said just now.

Bai Shao nodded and pulled Mu Jiaren to change clothes.

The clothes in the dining room are jujube red, but the clothes changed into are bright yellow embroidered pink flowers, which are very elegant and chic.

"Which palace are you the palace maids? How do you look so good? Mu Jiaren asked with some curiosity.

"We are the palace maids of the Chaohui Palace."

Bai Shao explained: "It can be regarded as the palace maid next to the emperor." ”

Mu Jiaren nodded, but the fragrance on this dress is really special, and the palace maid's clothes will also be incense, and sure enough, it is the person around the emperor, and he has more thoughts.

"Let's go, it's not too early."

Bai Shao pulled her.

All three of them went in their own directions to put on their lights.

Mu Jiaren walked to the Plum Garden, and saw that there were no palace people here, and she felt a little strange in her heart, could it be that the Plum Garden was only suitable for her?

She put the sky lantern away, and after a while, there was a sound from the other side of the plum garden, Mu Jiaren turned around and saw a few figures, it seems that there are also people who come to the plum garden to put the lanterns.

"It's auspicious, put on the lights!" The palace people in the palace shouted loudly.

Mu Jiaren lit the sky lantern, held the two corners, closed her eyes and made a wish, and then let go of her hand, today is a clear sky, under the dark blue night, slowly rising various colors of sky lanterns, with everyone's wishes, a little bit drifting into the distance.

"Daddy, I hope you can live well, and I hope you can bless the health and safety of the son."

Mu Jiaren meditated in her heart, and at this time, a gust of evening wind blew, blowing out the palace lights beside her, and it was darkened in all directions.

Then a voice came from behind him.

"Mei Xiang? Is that you? Plum fragrance? ”

Mu Jiaren heard footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, she saw a person walking quickly and grabbing her wrist.

"Mei Xiang, it's you, it's really you, you heard my prayer so you came to meet me?"

Mu Jiaren was confused, she saw a man standing in front of her, and his appearance was not clear.

"You recognized the wrong person, I'm not called Mei Xiang."

"It's not wrong, it's you, don't you want to forgive me?"

Mu Jiaren is even more strange.

"The slave's name is Xia Zhu, not Mei Xiang."

"Xia Zhu? No, you're my Mei Xiang. ”

Saying that, the man stepped forward to protect her, Mu Jiaren pushed hard, and the man didn't seem to expect that one didn't stand firm and almost fell to the ground.

Mu Jiaren picked up the palace lamp and ran away quickly, and the people behind him also chased after her, grabbed it hard, but just grabbed her sleeve, Mu Jiaren raised her hand and pulled it, and the sleeve was torn, so she was able to run away.

Out of the imperial garden, Mu Jiaren saw Bai Shao.

"Xia Zhu, why did you come out?"

"Nothing."

"What's wrong with your clothes?"

Mu Jiaren glanced at her sleeves: "I accidentally hung it just now, I'll go back and sew it and return it to the palace maid." ”

"That's all it can be."

After going back, Tao Ran looked at her clothes and said, "This requires sewing the whole sleeve, take it to the master's room, they have fabric there." ”

"I can sew it myself, so I don't bother others." She is not familiar with the people in the manufacturing room, so it is difficult to open this mouth.
