Princess Wen Xian's inopportune question at this time made Mu Lan die and wanted to slip away quietly.

Emperor Kangxi didn't pay attention to the little palace maid kneeling in front of him, but when he heard Princess Wen Xian's question, his eyes moved to the top of Mu Lan's head.

"Look up."

As soon as Chrysostom Yu's words came out, Mu Lan had no choice but to slowly flatten her body, raised her head slightly, and deliberately did not lift her eyes half-up, silently hoping that Emperor Kangxi did not recognize her.

What's more, Princess Wen Xian, who was next to Emperor Kangxi, saw it, the corners of her mouth curved, she walked to Mu Lan in a few steps, put an index finger under Mu Lan's chin, and gently hooked it up.

Mu Lan secretly complained in her heart at this time, she just heard Princess Wen Xian's silver bell-like laughter behind the veil at the door, and she was secretly glad that with this princess, if she faced the emperor's punishment, she might be able to find an opportunity to eliminate the disaster invisibly.

From the first time she went to the Empress Dowager Xiaokang's Cining Palace to deliver food, and when she saw Her Royal Highness the princess jingling all over her body, she felt that this one was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

However, the comments of the people in the harem seem to have always favored Her Royal Highness the princess.

Even the palace maids, no one knows, no one knows, this Jiugege grew up from the side of the Empress Dowager Xiaokang since childhood, and is quite favored by today's saints, although now he has moved to the palace to live alone, but back and forth between the emperor and the queen mother, has always come and gone horizontally, and no one dares to stop it.

Even in the harem, the concubine Wu Ya, who has always maintained a discordant relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess, and the Yiren Empress Tong Jia, who has maintained a long-term discordant relationship, will not avoid three points in everything.

However, although Princess Wen Xian has always been naughty and mischievous, she has never heard of any harsh criticism for the people in the palace, on the contrary, she often hears people talk about this Jiugege, who is quite chivalrous in dealing with people, and is like a fairy girl who scatters wealth, distributing bounties to the servants around her.

Therefore, in the harem, Her Royal Highness the princess was once named "everyone loves flowers and flowers blooms", but she didn't know it.

Mu Lan heard these secret rumors from the ladies of the Long Palace more than once. Later, the opportunity to deliver meals to the Queen Mother every day also gave her the first impression of this beloved little daughter when Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't know who she was.

However, at this time, Mu Lan, who was gently hooked by Princess Wen Xian's index finger and had to raise her head and raise her eyes, felt in her heart that this little ancestor was really a scourge.

As soon as he raised his eyes, Emperor Kangxi seemed to have recognized her, smiled deeply, and said to Wen Xian: "Don't make trouble." Girls' families, how to mention the system. Beware that you will be so strong in the future, no one will dare to marry you when you turn back, and you will become an old girl by my side in the future. ”

When Princess Wen Xian heard this, she gently withdrew her index finger, and was not annoyed, but took the opportunity to say: "If you don't marry, you won't marry, what's the good of marrying." If I can't find someone like Huang Ama, who is martial and virtuous and good to me, I will guard Huang Ama for the rest of my life, so why not? ”

After saying that, he smiled and kicked Keju back to Huang Ama.

Emperor Kangxi really felt ruthless about this daughter, and he couldn't help but feel distressed even when he frowned.

At this time, he ignored Wen Xian, and then said to Mu Lan: "I remember you." Are you the little palace maid who told me two months ago in the Qingfeng Pavilion of the Imperial Garden that she doesn't like reading or female skills, and loves cooking and ink research the most? ”

The facts were already in front of her, how could Mu Lan shirk it, so she had to admit obediently: "If you go back to the emperor, you are indeed a slave." ”

Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Xian here at this time, and then looked at Mu Lan over there, there was a hint of playfulness full of smiles in his eyes, and said leisurely: "What did Wen Xian call you just now?" How did she know you? ”

Mu Lan said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave's name is Mu Lan." In the past, by the grace of the emperor, he was assigned to work in the Shangshi Bureau, and now he is assigned to the Food Division, and he happens to be doing what he likes to cook every day. Probably for this reason, the pastries made were loved by Her Royal Highness the Princess. I don't know the princess very well, it may be that the slave maid sends food to the queen mother every day, and Her Royal Highness the princess has a special fondness for what the slave and maid do. So I'm impressed by the slave and the maid, and I love the house and the black. ”

After saying a few words, it was reasonable, Princess Wen Xian on the side looked at the pastries on the plate and smiled, and a pair of fawn-like eyes couldn't help flashing.

Emperor Kangxi listened, nodded, but said with a slightly tense face: "I remember that you said to me that day that you would offer food to me and the queen every day. But today, if it weren't for Wen Xian's roll call, I'm afraid the eight treasures cake on this table would not have been delivered to me. ”

Mu Lan was taken aback when she heard this, she hurriedly bowed down, kowtowed respectfully, and said slowly: "The emperor is angry, all blame the slaves and maids for not being proficient in learning, since entering the catering department, they have been studying with the long palace maid assigned by the master, after these days of training, the current cooking skills are only slightly improved compared with before entering the palace, but compared with the old people in the catering department, there are still many unsatisfactory places." It's not that the slave doesn't want to offer you and the queen food, but the time when she entered the palace is still young, and she doesn't know much about the tastes of you and the queen, and her cooking skills have just passed, and she doesn't know if the dishes she cooks can get into the eyes of the emperor and the queen, so she has not dared to take the liberty of offering it. This incident started because of the slave maid, who did not fulfill her promise, and asked the emperor to punish him heavily. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi silently groaned for a long time, glanced at Princess Wenxian on the side, and said leisurely: "Okay." Since you have asked me to punish you heavily, it is reasonable, and if I don't punish you, it seems a little unreasonable. ”

When Mu Lan heard this, her heart sank, like a pebble thrown into the water in the heart lake, and only one sound was more dull than the other...... Open...... Open...... Open......

According to the legend, Princess Wen Xian, who has always been a good person, looked at Emperor Kangxi in front of her with her arms unhurried, her big eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curved.

Mu Lan said in his heart, maybe he should have this catastrophe in his fate, but no matter what, he must also work hard to survive the catastrophe and be reborn. Therefore, he just waited quietly for the final fall of the high-flying Kangxi Emperor.

Emperor Kangxi's narrow eyes lit up and said slightly: "Mu Lan, you told me that day that you love to do two things the most, and I have fulfilled your wishes, but you have not fulfilled your promise to me. So, from now on, I'm going to punish you for two things. Listen up. ”

"The first thing is, I will punish you, from today onwards, every day to deliver to me, the snack after breakfast."

Mu Lan's heart moved when she heard this, but Wen Xian on the side immediately pouted slightly.

Emperor Kangxi continued: "This second thing, I will punish you heavily, from today onwards, accompany the queen mother of Cining Palace every day, and try to offer more delicacies to the queen mother every day." In addition, I have to accompany Princess Wenxian in front of you more on the side, I think her temper is quite speculative with you. ”

Princess Wen Xian listened, opened a small mouth, and quietly bent into a small boat.

Emperor Kangxi was unmoved, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Mu Lan, these two heavy punishments, let me ask you, can you do it in the future?" ”
