Chapter 19: The Little Guest

On the morning of the second day, Su Xiaojiu was installing an awning for Yun'er's newly made cart in the courtyard, when there was a knock on the door of Ronghua Palace.

The voice was small, and if she hadn't happened to be in the front yard, she probably wouldn't have heard it.

opened the door, but was stunned because of the two unexpected visitors in front of him, the third princess Mo Ying, and the fifth princess Mo Hong, who was the same as glutinous rice balls.

No wonder she was surprised, looking at Concubine Zhuang's scared appearance yesterday, she thought that these little sisters would never come to Ronghua Palace again!

looked behind them, only followed by two palace people, and did not see the figure of Concubine Zhuang.

Mo Ying was still the same soft, waiting outside the door stiffly, Mo Hong was more generous than her sister, and greeted her happily after coming in: "Good morning, sister!" ”

"I've seen the third princess, the fifth princess, is there something wrong?"

Niangniang will still be holding Yun'er in bed, and it is inconvenient to meet guests.

The two little men saluted her in unison.

Su Xiaojiu hurriedly turned sideways and exclaimed, "Princesses, what are you doing?" It's going to break the slave and the maid! ”

wanted to reach out to help the two up, but the sisters still insisted on performing the etiquette to the end.

Mo Ying was cowardly and didn't speak, Mo Hong had already spoken first: "It was my mother who asked me to thank my sister, saying that I was not injured yesterday thanks to you for protecting me." ”

"Concubine Zhuang has a heart."

Yesterday, Concubine Zhuang saw that her daughter was talkative, so she scolded her when she went back, Mo Hong was not convinced, so she told Mo Yao how to drag her and how Su Xiaojiu stopped her.

She was only worried about her daughter offending Concubine Ruan yesterday, but now when she heard Mo Hong's words, she asked her eldest daughter for verification, got a positive answer, and after a while, she asked them to come over today and make a special trip to thank Su Xiaojiu.

Concubine Rong heard the movement in the inner room and said with a smile: "I used to underestimate Concubine Zhuang, but I didn't think it would be a wonderful person." ”

At the end of spring, I was puzzled: "The slave is dull and doesn't understand what Niangniang means." ”

"If it weren't for the protection of Xiaojiu yesterday, Mo Hong would have been injured, Concubine Zhuang's position is low, it is impossible to come forward to seek justice for her daughter, and now that she has escaped a catastrophe, can she not come to thank you?"

The end of spring pouted: "That's not sincere, let the princesses come, she didn't show her face." ”

Concubine Rong smiled even more: "This is her cleverness, yesterday's incident, originally because of Mo Hong, but in the end, it was the palace and Concubine Ruan to form a bond, Concubine Zhuang lived in Concubine Ruan's Wanyi Palace side hall, if she visited Ronghua Palace under her nose, what do you think Concubine Ruan would think?" ”

It is reasonable to say that Concubine Zhuang's grade should also be the main position of the first palace, but she is really not favored by Emperor Yuan He, although she was promoted to the position after giving birth to Mo Hong, she was not allocated to her palace alone, and now she is crowded in Wanyi Palace with Concubine Ruan, and she is looking up to people every day.

Late spring was a little enlightened: "But if you don't express it, and you're afraid that you will be angry with her, so you let the princesses come?" ”

He added: "She can't offend people on both sides, and let the princesses come, even if Concubine Ruan knows, she can also push it to the child, Concubine Ruan can't embarrass the two princesses, right?" ”

Concubine Rong glanced at her appreciatively, and her son could be taught.

Aunt Zhang hugged Yun'er and sighed when she heard this: "Actually, think about it, she is a concubine, she is soft-spoken, she can't afford to offend anyone, if you are not careful everywhere, how can you make a living in this harem?" ”

It's okay to be wronged, look at the third princess, such a small person, as cautious as her mother.

Since I'm here, I have to meet Concubine Rong.

Su Xiaojiu led them to the hall, served homemade mille-feuille cakes, poured a cup of lemon tea for each of them, and waited aside.

The two sisters sat in the front hall, Mo Ying didn't dare to move, sat on the stool and looked at the nose, nose and heart, and didn't even drink a sip of tea, Mo Hong looked around with curiosity, and felt that the Ronghua Palace was really much better than the place where he lived, not only all kinds of antique ornaments, strange flowers and plants, but even the palace was extraordinarily magnificent.

And there's so much fun.

Concubine Rong freshened up in the dormitory, pasted a vermilion plum-shaped flower on her forehead in the mirror, and looked left and right, feeling very satisfied.

These things that girl is tinkering with are always so unexpected and lovely.

got up and said: "This palace is for the sake of Mo Hong who dares to speak out, go out and meet them." ”

At the end of spring, he wondered, "You don't have to go and see it in person, do you?" ”

Isn't it to thank Xiaojiu?

Concubine Rong smiled silently, Aunt Zhang explained: "Although nominally I came to thank Xiaojiu, I secretly took the opportunity to test our mother's tone, if Niangniang didn't accept this love, she didn't break it anyway, and it wouldn't be embarrassing to meet again, if Niangniang saw the princess in person, she would also understand, and our mother understood her overture." ”

Late spring smacked his tongue: "Oh my God, it's just a thanks, and there are so many twists and turns?" Fortunately, I'm just a slave, otherwise, according to Xiaojiu's words, I wouldn't have survived the first two pages in the book! ”

Aunt Zhang: "What kind of statement is this?" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and smoothed the hem of Concubine Rong's clothes.

Concubine Rong wore a wide-sleeved cigarette skirt today, her hair was combed into a spirit snake bun, and she was equipped with a flower on her forehead.

As soon as she came out of the inner hall, Mo Hong's eyes lit up: "Wow! Mother Rong is so beautiful today! Just like Chang'e! The clothes are beautiful, the hair is beautiful, and the flowers are beautiful! ”

Flowey refers to the flower on her forehead.

The little mouth was like smeared with honey, and Concubine Rong, who listened, was overjoyed: "Look, Hong'er can still speak, and the praised Concubine Rong will float up early in the morning!" ”

Mo Ying was a little more reserved, and saluted one by one, but she couldn't help but say: "Mother Rong has always been good-looking, but she looks better today." ”

Concubine Rong couldn't stop laughing: "Children don't lie, and this palace looks good by itself." ”

Seeing that the two of them stared at their foreheads, they were happy for a while, so they said, "Xiaojiu, go and fetch two small flowers, and paste them with a beautiful one for the little princesses." ”

The two pairs of small eyes opened up instantly, and they couldn't wait to look at the brocade box in Su Xiaojiu's hand.

Open the box and let the two little girls pick by themselves, both of them are incredible, looking at this good-looking, that one is also beautiful, and they will be dazzled after a while.

Especially Mo Hong, after a while, he frowned and became entangled, holding two Huadian in his left and right hands and looking at Su Xiaojiu: "Sister, these are all good-looking, Hong'er can't pick them out." ”

The warbler is also dizzying, wandering left and right in a butterfly-like and daisy-shaped flower.

Concubine Rong was interested, and she also came over to pick it together, and the three of them pulled their heads around in the box, but they couldn't distinguish one, two, three.

Su Xiaojiu saw that they were provoking, so he turned around and went to the small kitchen.

Concubine Rong got up late, she hadn't had breakfast yet, Yun'er was still asleep, and Aunt Zhang and the end of spring took care of her, so she had to cook herself.

Yesterday the mother took great pains for her, she should always do something to show it.

The weather is hot, the imperial dining room does not dare to prepare food in advance, and it is hot and greasy immediately, Concubine Rong puts down the jade chopsticks every time she can't eat a few bites, and she might as well make something light today.
