When the palace maid heard Mu Lan say this, she was busy and angry: "Slow! Didn't you eat breakfast? I was called here early in the morning by my mother, and I was not as hungry as I was in the back. Hurry up and come with me, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! ”

After that, when he came up, he had to pull Mu Lan's clothes.

Mu Lan flashed back slightly, avoided a hand that reached out, stood still under her feet, and turned her head sideways to the palace maid in front of her and said in a friendly manner: "Sister, you haven't eaten either?" I still have a few pieces of cake in the dining room, and a few extra pieces of Bazhen cake made there, do you want to eat some together? ”

The palace maid in front of her was about to have a seizure, but when she heard Mu Lan mention the three words Bazhen Cake, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered: "Do you really have Bazhen Cake here?" ”

Mu Lan nodded seriously, but didn't say a word anymore, just quietly watched the movements of the palace maid in front of her.

At the chrysanthemum banquet just past, the eight treasures that each master could get were only two pieces.

The palace maid, who originally had a mean face, couldn't help but purse her thin lips at this time, as if she was weighing herself lightly in her heart: "Anyway, now, Niangniang should also be having breakfast......"

muttered softly in his mouth, as if he had made up his mind, and then raised a bloodless face, and gently scolded Mu Lan: "Fool, don't go get it yet!" ”

After that, he pointed to the entrance of the palace maid's alley not far from the gate, and said, "Oh, I'm waiting for you there." Hurry up, don't grind! ”

Mu Lan nodded yes with a smile, raised her feet and walked a few steps forward, and suddenly remembered something, turned to the palace maid and said, "That's right, sister." I can't go with you for nothing. After a while, when you see our big palace maid here, don't forget to tell her that you asked me to go with you. Otherwise, when I come back, my aunt will scold me. ”

When the palace maid heard this, she waved her hand at Mu Lan very impatiently, and said with a disdainful expression: "Okay, okay, I know!" Go ahead! ”

Mu Lan smiled slightly, and didn't look back.

At this time, most of the palace maids had already packed up and gone out in twos and threes, and greeted Mu Lan with a smile and a groaning as they passed by.

Mu Lan greeted her with a smile, and after returning to her residence, she freshened up, changed into clean clothes, took out a big handkerchief, and took out a bag of Bazhen cakes from under the lotus core quilt.

The ingredients of Bazhen cake are not so precious, but it is too troublesome and time-consuming to make, because the pastries cannot be stored for a long time, they are all freshly made and eaten, so the amount of each time is not too much, and when it is made and distributed to the palace of the mothers as usual, it is just a few pieces of a plate.

Rare things are expensive, and they are particularly delicious, so when the palace people hear the eight treasures cake, their hearts are bright, and they arouse the gluttony in their stomachs. For people, what they can't ask for is often the best in their hearts.

Anything that can be made with one pair of hands is not a rare and precious thing. This bag of Bazhen cake was made by Mu Lan to be rich, and the rest is also leftover, so it is better to secretly take it back and give a tooth sacrifice to the lotus core who is always hungry and can't sleep at night.

At this time, she quietly figured it out, called and took a look, and secretly brought back a total of six pieces, Lianxin should have eaten two pieces last night, and four pieces.

Mu Lan poured a cup of warm water, ate a piece of the water, left two pieces for the lotus core, wrapped a piece in a handkerchief, carried it in her arms, and came out of the door.

From a distance, I saw that the palace maid who was full of meanness just now was standing at the mouth of the alley, not only wanting to bow her head so as not to be noticed by the palace people, but also anxious not to look at herself.

At this time, two palace maids who passed by, as if they recognized her, stepped forward to say hello to her.

The palace maid had to say a few words with a smile, and as soon as the two palace maids walked away, the two thin eyebrows were impatiently raised.

Mu Lan stepped forward, smiled and said, "Sister, I'm here." ”

The palace maid glanced at Mu Lan fiercely, and said with a look of disgust: "Why have you been there for so long, I don't know, I thought you fell into the toilet!" ”

Mu Lan said with a smile: "Sister, it's all my fault, I obviously hid the cake in advance, but those quilts were stacked up the same, I forgot which one was mine, so I touched them one by one, and finally touched them, but I found that I didn't know who secretly ate two pieces, and now, only this one piece is left." ”

After that, he took out a piece of cake wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, handed it to the palace maid and said, "No, if my sister doesn't dislike it, eat it." ”

The palace maid waited for a long time, and when she saw Mu Lan take out a piece of cake, she was already a hundred dissatisfied in her heart, and choked in her throat.

After a while, he snatched the cake from Mu Lan's hand, untied the veil in disgust, threw it into Mu Lan's arms, turned his back, lowered his head and ate the cake in his hand in three or two bites, and immediately turned to Mu Lan and said, "Okay, you can go with me." ”

Mu Lan's face condensed slightly, and she hesitated and replied to the palace maid: "Sister, if you don't tell our big palace maid here, I won't go." ”

The palace maid saw Mu Lan's solid appearance, and her heart said that she met a fool who didn't steal like a rolling pin, and she was afraid that she would be blamed for taking someone back late for a while, so she stopped playing tricks in front of Mu Lan, and her face showed a slight smile, and her tone softened and coaxed: "The palace maid of your catering division, is it the one called Xia Hua?" ”

Mu Lan nodded with a straight face.

The palace maid said seriously: "I saw her passing by here just now, and I am about to take you to Yonghe Palace to meet Concubine De Niangniang, and let her tell your aunt." Now, can you come with me? ”

Mu Lan looked at the palace maid in front of her, nodded thoughtfully, and said with a slight smile: "Okay." Please ask my sister to lead the way, and I will go with my sister. ”

It turned out that it was Concubine De of Yonghe Palace, and early this morning, she summoned her confidant palace maid.

What is there about her that she can't wait to say to herself?

That time, when she was delivering snacks to the queen's mother, the jasmine flowers in the food box were probably the handiwork of this concubine of Yonghe Palace.

Every time I deliberately understand, I try to dig out little by little from the people in the palace who want to talk and stop talking, and I want to find out the people and things I want to know.

Unexpectedly, such a small palace maid as herself would alarm the people in the harem when she mentioned it, and they were a little afraid of the master of Yonghe Palace.

I heard that she is not only the biological mother of the untamed Princess Wenxian, but also the fourth son of the emperor, Belle Ye Yinzhen, and the mother of the fourteenth son of the emperor, Yinzhen.

Maybe this noble lady understood her plan to get close to the Queen Mother and originally intended to go to Cining Palace to serve the Queen Mother, or did she know that Princess Wen Xian wanted to mention something about her side?

After the chrysanthemum feast, some people have already whispered.

In the depths of this harem, Concubine Ping, who had always been low-key, suddenly deliberately borrowed the fact that the magnolia flower was not placed in the palm of the chrysanthemum duck in front of everyone, and hid needles in public to the queen mother, and secretly made trouble, all because of what someone behind the scenes pointed out.

And rumors, it is said that a palace maid has seen it, and the day before, Concubine De Niangniang had just met with Concubine Ping in private.

What should come, will come.

Mu Lan shook her spirit in her heart, followed the palace maid in front of her, followed suit, calmly, and silently walked towards Yonghe Palace.
