When it was almost dawn, Chunxi returned to her room. packed up the baggage and woke up Mu Hui, who was still asleep.

"The master is awake?" Mu Hui woke up from the dream, quickly wiped the tears on her cheeks, and hurriedly stood up when she saw the sirk looking at her from the side.

"It's time for us to go back." Chunxi looked at her, full of distress. What did she say to Cao Ziqing last night? Why is it that neither of them is right? She cried so sadly, it must be for him. Could it be that he didn't like her? But it shouldn't. Looking at Cao Ziqing's attitude towards her, it can't be that she doesn't like it. Is that for his wife? Because there is a family, is it not possible?

Chunxi didn't know what Mu Hui was thinking, and she didn't want Mu Hui to be so uncomfortable. She wanted to do something, but she didn't know how to do it.

"Then Mu Hui will go and pack her luggage." Only then did Mu Hui react, and she turned around and was about to clean up her things.

"No, I don't have to. I've packed it all up, let's go. Chun Xi took out the baggage, pulled Mu Hui and walked out.

Mu Hui lowered her head and took the burden in her hand.

As soon as he went out, he happened to bump into Cao Ziqing coming back from the carriage, and the two were embarrassed to meet.

Thinking of yesterday's quarrel, Cao Ziqing wanted to apologize, but he didn't know how to speak. Mu Hui looked at him like that, and she was also petty and didn't want to talk to him much. I didn't want to hand him the burden in my hand, so I went to the carriage in front of the inn in a bad mood. After putting down the burden, I remembered that I had forgotten that there was still the little master, and in a fit of anger, I actually put the little master aside and got into the carriage first.

"Little Master...... I ......" Mu Hui anxiously wanted to say something.

Chunxi shook her head, signaling that she didn't care. Her heart is like a mirror, how could she not know that there is a gap between Mu Hui and Cao Ziqing. Just the tear stains on last night's face are enough to say it all.

Chun Xi thought, all she can say and do now is to try to let her strive for her own happiness. She has done too much for herself and has been with her for too long, and it is time to have her own happiness: "Mu Hui, some people, some things, as long as you think it is worth it, it may not be bad to fight." ”

"Now that the little master needs Mu Hui, how can Mu Hui act arbitrarily because of her children's personal feelings? What's more, Mu Hui felt that it wasn't worth it. Mu Hui was helpless, and she couldn't grasp Cao Ziqing's thoughts. What's more, she was unwilling to put aside the affairs of the little master for her own selfish desires. She couldn't do it, and she didn't want to do that.

At least, in her mind, no one is more important than Ulva.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, it was difficult to persuade her again. It seems that I need to find another suitable time to mention it again and help her.

At dawn, Chunxi returned to the palace.

As soon as he walked into the door of Yikun Palace, he saw that Shu Sleeve and his party were already waiting outside the palace.

hurriedly changed into a royal blue ** silk cloud goose palace dress, and a green onion blue soft silk vest. The two heads are wearing silk flowers of the same color in the center, a pair of red silver luan jasper hairpins on the right, a blue gem dotted emerald on the left, a string of blue tassels two inches long, and a pair of light blue beaded earrings in both ears. After a little fat powder, he walked out of Yikun Palace with swaying steps.

When I entered Cining Palace, I saw that the Empress Dowager was sitting in front of the dressing table, and Su Mo'er was combing her hair.

Chun Xi Fu asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye: "Chun Xi to the ancestors to say goodbye, may the ancestors live a long and healthy life." ”

"It's a little early today, come and comb your hair." Xiaozhuang commanded. Su Mo'er handed the wooden comb in her hand to Chunxi, who took it and stood behind the Empress Dowager to comb her hair.

Hyozhuang closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of combing his hair with a hairbrush, which was very comfortable. She asked in a low voice, "I heard that the emperor was not in the Qianqing Palace yesterday, but he went to you?" ”

When he heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart, thinking that the ancestor knew something, if he didn't know at this time, he wanted to cover it up, if he said that he stayed in Yikun Palace, it was exposed, and Kong could no longer get the trust of the ancestor. After thinking about it, he had to stop the movements in his hand, take a few steps back, "poof", and kneel on the ground: "Ancestor punishment." ”

"Punish what?" The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, turned to face her, and asked.

"Actually...... The emperor was not in the palace yesterday, but only rushed back from outside the palace early this morning. ”

"Oh? Are you going with you? Xiaozhuang was not surprised, looked at her and asked.

"Yes." Chun Xi nodded.

Hyo-joon took a deep breath and didn't ask any more. Chun Xi panicked in her heart, and she didn't know what to do for a while. At this moment, I really can't guess what the ancestor thinks, is he angry, or not? I thought about what punishment I should receive. The more she didn't speak, the more silent she became, and the more scared she felt.

Even if there is a kind old man in front of him, this old man will definitely not allow a woman to sneak out of the house with his grandson and never return overnight.

"Little Lord, why did the emperor leave the palace? But what about taking the little master to watch the lantern festival? Su Mo'er on the side saw that her master was like this, and she knew her master's thoughts, so she hurriedly asked for her.

"Mama." Chunxi glanced at Su Mo'er, and saw that the old ancestor had a dark face and didn't speak, so she had to say truthfully: "Chunxi went out of the palace with the emperor for a case." ”

"What case?" Xiaozhuang asked.

"It's because of the fake painting case that has been prevalent in the capital in recent days." Chun Xi said truthfully.

Xiaozhuang was taken aback and shouted: "Fake painting? How did this happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven? ”

"Isn't it?" Seeing that her face softened a little, she was embarrassed when she heard this, and then said: "The emperor is angry, so he left the palace to find out. ”

"I see, what do you get out of going out?" Xiaozhuang's face softened a lot, he knew Xuan Ye's temperament very well, and he sold fake paintings under the nose of the Son of Heaven, how could Xuan Ye spare it.

Seeing that Xiaozhuang's complexion was much better, he didn't seem to be angry, so he told the Empress Dowager about yesterday's events.

"This matter must not be publicized, what does the emperor want to do, the mourning family understands, let him go. Accompany the mourning family to the garden. Seeing that Xiaozhuang didn't ask anymore, Chunxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then got up tremblingly, took her hand and went to the garden outside.

Chunxi helped Xiaozhuang to go to the garden for a while, and was pulled by Xiaozhuang to take breakfast before saying goodbye.

As soon as Chunxi walked out of Cining Gate with Shu Sleeves, she saw the Queen Mother coming down from the wooden chariot, and was about to go in by Aunt Rufang.

"The noble Guo Luoluo clan greets the Queen Mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." The Queen Mother glanced at her, only nodded, and was helped into Cining Palace by Rufang.

Seeing her walk away, Chun Xi stood up.

"Little master, what's wrong?" Shu Sleeve looked at Chunxi's face and shouted.

"The Queen Mother doesn't seem to like me at all." Chun Xi said in the affirmative.

"The Queen Mother has always been close to Concubine Tong, but I am afraid that she also knows that the little master is not Concubine Tong, and she is so favored by the Queen Mother and the emperor, which is a little displeased." Shu Sleeve explained. Most of the old people in the queen mother's sex ** know. Recently, I like to chant Buddha, and I don't ask about the harem. Although the phoenix seal is in her hands, in fact, she doesn't care much about the things of the harem. They are all handed over to Concubine Tong and Concubine Wan to take care of.

"No problem." Hearing her say this, Chunxi didn't feel unhappy in her heart, but smiled.

Shu Sleeve felt inexplicable, he really didn't understand what this fifteen-year-old little master was thinking. If others knew that the elders didn't like them, they would definitely please her, but this little lord didn't care. But if you think about it carefully, she now has the favor of the Queen Mother, and the emperor even loves her, what the Queen Mother thinks, how she looks at it doesn't seem to matter.

Chunxi took Shu Sleeve and went to Yongshou Palace to ask Concubine Wan for peace, and went to talk to Yun Concubine for a while before returning to Yikun Palace.

"Little master, early this morning, the head of the royal superintendent, Liu Gonggong, sent someone to send a makeup satin, and now it is gradually warming, it is better to let Fu'er make a new dress for the little master, and when the spring flowers bloom, you can wear it out to enjoy the flowers." Mu Hui helped Chun Xi to sit down, let Lan Xin come in with a cup of hot tea, and remembered what Liu Zhengxiang sent in the morning, so he said to him.

"Makeup? Isn't that what you can only have above the concubine level? He Liu Zhengxiang is bold, I don't dare to put it on. Chunxi smiled, but his heart was beating a drum. I was frightened in Cining Palace this morning, and now when I return to the palace, I am frightened again. According to the rules of the palace, there will be no makeup in this nobleman's example, what does this person want to do?

"The little master misunderstood, where did Liu Zhengxiang have such an interest, it was Liang Gong who sent someone to the imperial prison, and this was sent, presumably it was also the emperor's intention." Mu Hui explained again. When I remembered that when Father-in-law Liu came over in the morning, his face was full of flattery, and I felt disgusted. is obviously already the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, but he looks like a flattering person and comes to welcome himself, isn't it because he has taken a fancy to the little lord and is now favored by the emperor.

"What does the emperor mean?" Chunxi felt so strange, this makeup satin was good, but how could the emperor think of sending such a piece of cloth instead of directly sending a new dress? can listen to Mu Hui's words, and there is no doubt about him: "I told Fu'er to do it." It's you, why didn't you do it to me, but let Fu'er help. ”

Mu Hui didn't think so, and immediately found an excuse to prevaricate: "The slave and maid can't do the good craftsmanship of the whisk, although it is not as good as the embroidery girl in the palace, and I dare not compare with the little master of Song, but the skill of the whisk is something I can't learn." ”

Chun Xi smiled, this girl can really speak, praised everyone, and gagged herself: "Poor mouth." I should be glad when you make me a garment. ”

"Little master, this day is still long, the slave and maid work hard, maybe one day the little master can really wear the clothes made by the slave and maid." Seeing that Chun Xi didn't eat this set, Mu Hui immediately changed her rhetoric.

"You're trying to bluff me with nice words." She snorted and laughed at her.

"How dare a slave?" Seeing her smile, Mu Hui knew that it would work, and immediately stepped forward to hand over the tea that had been prepared.
