Lian Xin thought for a while and said, "At that time, I wanted to stay in the dining room and wait for you, but my stomach was growling with hunger. Sister Chunhua said that she was afraid that we would come back late, so she specially left dinner for us and told me to eat something first and then it would not be too late. I was really hungry, so I went out with Chunhua to eat something first, wrapped a few snacks for you and came back. Sister Chunhua also came back to talk to me for a while, she has a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I asked her to go back and rest first. Then, he never left. Fang Cai couldn't help it, so he ran to the door again to see, did you come back, but fortunately you finally came back. ”

Mu Lan listened, with pity in her heart, and said with a slight smile: "Lianxin, it's so late, aren't you afraid to wait in the dining room alone?" ”

Lianxin said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid." But when I thought about it, you went to the Qianqing Palace alone, and I don't know if you were punished by the emperor. If I don't wait for you, no one will care about you! ”

After finishing speaking, seeing the corners of Mu Lan's mouth, he complained more and more anxiously: "Mu Lan, when has this been, how can you still laugh?" ”

Mu Lan looked at the lotus core and said like a breeze: "The more times like this, the more we have to maintain a calm mood. Otherwise, before it was our turn to play, and we had a good fight with the person who wanted to harm us, we were scared out of our courage and cried and hurt our eyes, so how could it be? ”

That being said, it's not easy to actually do.

Although Lianxin is a little timid, if he is forced to go nowhere, he is not a good-tempered person. The theft of magnolia flowers, once it was spread, she and Min Sishan had nothing to do with it.

Anyway, the left and right are going to die, so it's better to follow Mu Lan to find out what happened before dying, and you can be innocent when you die.

Hearing Mu Lan say this, he couldn't help but nod his head, and said in his heart: "Mu Lan, you're right!" We must die clearly and clearly, and we can't be unjustly killed in vain. ”

Mu Lan laughed when she said this, and asked rhetorically, "Who said we would die?" ”

Lianxin looked at Mu Lan's determined spirit, and a trace of surprise swept through his heart: "Mu Lan, have you already figured out a way?" ”

On the second day, before dawn, Min Sishan hurried all the way to the dining room as usual.

As soon as he opened the door under the starlight, he saw that on the ground in the room, two people were wrapped in a quilt, hugging each other and sleeping soundly.

"Who?"

Min Sishan was taken aback, who moved the futon to the dining room to sleep, so bold!

The two people who were hugging each other on the ground were obviously startled by this soft cry at the same time, and woke up from their dreams one after another. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was busy getting up from the bunk, and smiled at the person in front of him in a staggered voice.

"Min Si has breakfast."

"Min Si has breakfast."

Min Sishan Dingqing saw that it was Mu Lan and Lianxin, and his brows instantly furrowed: "Why don't you two go back to sleep?" Who allowed you to spend the night in the dining room? ”

Mu Lan, who was the leader, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said with a smile on her face: "Min Sishan, it's all my fault." Yesterday, when I gave the emperor Bazhen cake, I happened to meet Princess Jiuge Wenxian from the Queen Mother's side. The princess had to take me to chat with her and tell her how to make a few snacks. By the time the princess was willing to let me back, the palace maid's house had already closed its curfew. Lianxin had been waiting for me in the dining room, so she couldn't go back to rest. Because today's chrysanthemum banquet is about to start, we dare not disturb your rest, so without your permission, we took out the bedding in this room and made a bunk. Mu Lan really didn't mean to, and asked Min Sishan to punish you. ”

Min Sishan was thoughtful, and he didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters, so he just lightly instructed the two: "You two really have the right idea. Now in such a season, two people are wrapped in a quilt, or directly on the floor, and they are not afraid of getting cold. Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up, and Chunhua and they will arrive in a while. ”

"Yes." The two people standing in front of him hurriedly said yes, and rolled the quilt tube with their hands and feet.

A pre-dawn breeze blew, and the shadow of the moon, hidden behind the clouds, gradually emerged from the tips.

A soft white moonlight poured down like water from between the two doors, illuminating the faces of the two little palace maids who were in a hurry.

Min Sishan tightened the clothes on his body, and couldn't help but rub his eyes in a trance.

In this light, it seemed that Mu Lan quietly blinked at the lotus core on the side, but it was as if he hadn't seen anything.

It's been a moment of sunshine, and the weather is so fine.

Leshoutang admires the green building, and the chrysanthemums in various forms are spread from upstairs to downstairs, and from downstairs to the entire courtyard.

In a sea of flowers and shadows, the queen Tong Jia, Concubine Wu Ya, and the concubines of the harem came early, standing according to their respective positions, or bowing their heads respectfully, or whispering to the people around them, everyone quietly looked out of the door, and secretly looked forward to when the Queen Mother would come.

The queen quietly looked around, and finally her eyes swept over Concubine De, who was close to her, and exchanged dark glances with the maid on the side.

"The Queen Mother has arrived. Played. The eunuch sang loudly.

As a peaceful cloud of silk and bamboo sounded from all directions, an old woman with a slender, red face, supported by a delicate girl shining with the light of silver bells, slowly passed in front of everyone.

Under the graceful and luxurious benevolent face, everywhere the eyes went, as if the heavenly palace had blessed them, they sowed the grace of infinite love to the two teams of relatives who welcomed them.

Concubine Binfei only knew that the old man of the Queen Mother had always been very individual, and when she was in charge of the harem in the past, she took care of the harem in an orderly manner. And since he gave up the harem and delegated power to the queen, he has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha in Cining Palace all day long, and rarely comes out to show his face. In the early years, everyone in the harem had been exempted from waking up in the morning, and almost no one else was seen except for the emperor himself.

After such a long time, it will inevitably attract all kinds of speculation from everyone in the harem.

People who don't know quietly discussed, thinking that the queen mother is old, getting weaker and weaker, and she can't afford to entertain.

Only the queen and Concubine De know that the queen mother has always been very arrogant, and she is not an eye-catching person, where is she willing to say a word, and she doesn't even bother to look at it at all.

Thinking of this, the queen and Concubine De couldn't help but quietly glance at the queen mother and the girl beside her from under their eyes under their respectful faces.

Everyone's eyes, step by step, followed the back of the queen mother under the support of the girl, and went upstairs.

Who said that the Queen Mother was in poor health?

Look at the red glowing and radiant face, I don't know what kind of beauty she was when she was young......

The eyes of the queen and Concubine De invariably moved from the queen mother's sturdy back to the equally delicate and arrogant girl on the side.

No wonder it was Gege, who was raised by the Queen Mother herself, how could her temperament and expression seem to be carved out of the same mold as the Queen Mother......
