It's the day. Cining Palace.

In the dormitory, the benzoin in the cast bronze gilt incense burner exudes a quiet and pleasant fragrance.

Empress Dowager Xiaokang felt an itch in her nostrils, sneezed coldly, couldn't help but roll her eyelids, and complained to Mama Cao on the side: "The mourning family is such an old person, in addition to today's saint who has all the opportunities, who else is talking about me?" Could it be that the first emperor misses the mourning family and wants the mourning family to accompany him quickly? ”

Mama Cao on the side smiled and took the handkerchief in the queen mother's hand and coaxed: "How come? The Queen Mother is as blessed as the East China Sea, and her longevity is better than Nanshan. In a few days, your chrysanthemum feast will be held. I don't know which one it is, but I wonder what gift I will give you at the banquet. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaokang knows the coaxing of her grandmother the most, although she smiled at this time, she said in her mouth: "Hmph, those little monkey cubs, one by one, must be trying to fool me with something." ”

Mama Cao was about to say a few words, and outside the bead curtain, there was a door supervisor singing: "The Queen Mother is auspicious." Princess Wen Xian asked to see her. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaokang muttered quietly in her heart, this granddaughter who is like a pearl in her palm will not come for several days, and she doesn't know where she is going to play.

When he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Mama Cao.

Mama Cao knew what the Queen Mother was thinking, and immediately said outside: "Go and announce it, don't let the princess wait for a long time, and catch a cold outside." ”

The doorman snorted and hurried away.

After a while, a sound of a pearl and jade tinkling sound came from far and near.

When the Empress Dowager Xiaokang heard the voice, she thought that Wen Xian had a time when she was a child, and she walked around the office and came back, and the peacock in her sideburns was like a peacock opening the screen, and she was full of all kinds of hairpins and emeralds, and she couldn't help but bend her head when she came to see it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend into a boat.

As soon as the bead curtain was lifted, a girl with a round figure and a smile like a flower was already standing in front of the Queen Mother Shoukang.

"Hello grandmother, your old man wants to kill his son!" Princess Wen Xian smiled and groaned, and said sweetly and crisply.

The phrase "Grandmother is good", which I haven't heard in my ears for a few days, made the heart of the Empress Dowager Xiaokang almost crispy, but at this time she deliberately pretended to say: "Do you still know that you are going to see your old grandmother today?" Your grandmother has been idle here all day, and the grass is about to grow all over. ”

Wen Xian smiled sweetly when he heard this, pretended to throw himself into the arms of the Empress Dowager Xiaokang, and said coquettishly: "Is it? Where, where? Let me take a good look! ”

Amused the Queen Mother, took Wen Xian's hand, hugged her arms, wrapped her hands around her, and said in a gloomy voice: "My little girl, where have you been eating Haisai in the past two days?" Why don't you bring some for your grandmother to try? ”

Wen Xian hugged the Queen Mother and kissed him, and said, "Say it again!" These days, Erchen is not for the chrysanthemum feast, but to ask people to hunt for treasure for your old man. When the time comes, what the son will give you must be the most dazzling. You see, my legs are thinner, so naturally I want to eat something good and supplement my nutrition. ”

Empress Dowager Xiaokang reached out and touched Wen Xian's slightly uplifted little belly, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, good!" The eldest granddaughter of the mourning family is the most filial. However, little Wen Xian, you really have to lose some of the little fat on this body. Or, when I recruit a horse in the future, please dare to marry you? ”

In a word, Wen Xian was unhappy when he said it, and pouted: "You are laughing at this again!" Can anyone who wants to marry this little master can marry him? It's not that you and Huang Ama haven't said that in the future, it will be the sons who will choose the attached horses, and it will not be someone else who will choose the sons. When the time comes, whoever the son has a fancy will be the son of the minister! The sons won't worry about not being able to get married! ”

Empress Dowager Xiaokang stretched out her hand and stroked the broken hair in front of Wen Xian's forehead, and said with concern: "The weather is cold, but you came here after dinner?" ”

Wen Xian licked his lips, blinked his eyes, and said coquettishly: "Eat is eat." However, none of the dim sum in my palace is delicious. Grandmother, the little palace maid who came to deliver snacks last time, is she still here today? Erchen likes to eat the snacks she makes, and he wants to eat them even if he is not hungry. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaokang smiled slightly, flicked Wen Xian's brain with her index finger, and said without temper: "Okay, okay, I'll send it to you in a while, and the mourning family will give it all to you." ”

It's night. The palace maid's office.

Mu Lan lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, from the end of the bunk, quietly got up and dressed, put on a smock in the moonlight, and came to the porch outside the house alone, sitting quietly on the ground, facing the bright moon in the air, stupid.

During the day, when I was in the food department, the scenes that happened were like still images, which were repeatedly reflected in my mind.

As a man, it is always inevitable to love the house and the black.

A palace maid once said that before Mu Lan entered the Catering Division, among the two palace maids, Xia Qing was actually the one who was most appreciated by Min Sishan.

Today, when the two sides were at a stalemate, she took the initiative to tell Xia Qing about the ins and outs of the ingredients, and seeing that she had no intention of regretting it, she couldn't bear to ask about the knife.

Without much thought, you know that it is a play directed and acted by Xia Qing.

The origin of everything is just that Xia Qing, who has always been proud of her talents, can't stand her standing out in the third dish and knocks herself out.

In fact, she didn't expect this result at all.

What does it mean to be smart but be mistaken by smart?

Although Xia Qing cut her wrist by herself, she panicked and said that she hid a knife in the ingredients and injured her, so that she couldn't win against herself.

But this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is a place where the strongest have their own strong hands.

From Bai Cheng personally stepping off the stage and walking to Xia Qing's side to watch the palace maid clean and bandage her wounds, Mu Lan knew that this young Lord Cheng really didn't belong to the pool.

The young Lord Cheng smiled slightly, which just showed that he had judged the direction of the whole thing based on the blood marks from Xia Qing's knife wound.

It's just that really smart people often know how to act at the right time, and they often see through some things, but they don't say it.

When it comes to people and things, there will always be three points of leeway.

That's right, killing people is not a nod to the ground.

Xia Qing's actions, as she herself said later, are nothing more than narrow-mindedness, vanity, and jealousy, so she wants to blame herself.

However, her various crimes are not the most heinous.

When is it time to forgive others, forgive others, and repay grievances.

What's more, her identity used to be Min Sishan's proud protégé, and she was once a spiritual sustenance.

However, Min Sishan didn't ask, she didn't ask, and Lord Xia Cheng didn't ask, it doesn't mean that this matter can be passed in other people's hearts, and in the eyes of others, you can casually rub a grain of sand.

The shrewd and powerful Lord Shanggong, how could he not break the casserole and ask the end?

Fortunately, Xia Qing didn't dare to talk to her, and Lord Shanggong had no way to take her.

But the palace has its own rules in the palace, and no one breaks them casually.

Even if the catering department cherishes talents, he can forgive and tolerate Xia Qing, but in the case of Lord Shanggong, it is not necessarily at all.

Han Shanggong was originally angry, and wanted to punish Xia Qing into the Xin Zhi Library, and never think about turning over again.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Bai seemed to have already realized Min Sishan and her thoughts, and took the first step to suggest to Han Shanggong that big things should be turned into small things, and small things should be turned into nothing.

On the grounds that he had knowledge in the Pharmaceutical Identification Division, he said that he could quietly transfer Xia Qing to the Pharmaceutical Identification Division for demotion and employment, which finally exempted Xia Qing from the loneliness and helplessness that he would face in his life once he was fined and confiscated into the Xin Zhi Library.

For this reason, Mu Lan thanked the young white-clothed minister from the bottom of her heart.
