The rude palace maid spilled a bowl of soup on the tray, and the eunuch in charge was scolding: "You're useless, you can't do anything well, maybe you think you're still the same Shangguan Wanwan!"

"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die." The rude palace maid was holding the half-empty bowl of soup. She lowered her head and kept confessing. Mo Xi's eyes darkened slightly, and it sounded like she had once been very prosperous.

Most of the maids in the palace could not keep their original names and were assigned names by their masters after they were assigned to different palaces. But a name like Shangguan Wanwan was obviously not given randomly.

"Damn it, this is sent to the Queen Mother's Palace! Clean up the spilled soup on the floor!" That eunuch was so vicious.

When Mo Xi heard about the Queen Mother, he walked out from behind the willow tree and said with a smile, "What could make my father-in-law so angry?"

"I've met my mistress. Good luck to me." The eunuch's voice was shrill. After all, not everyone in the palace was the queen's lackey. He was not disrespectful to Mo Xi. He just kicked Shangguan Wanwan again.

: "You humble servant, I haven't seen my little master yet!"

Just as Shangguan Wanwan was about to salute, Mo Xi stopped and gestured to forget it. She lowered her face so that Mo Xi couldn't see her face clearly, and knowingly asked her father-in-law what she had done wrong. After hearing this, Mo Xi looked up from the pond.

Peel off a few petals from the lotus and put them in the soup.

"What do you mean, little master?" the father-in-law asked.

"Most of the people in the palace eat with a certain artistic conception. This soup without half the bowl does not look good, but with these lotus petals, it becomes a unique delicacy, right?" Mo Xi said with a smile, but his eyes kept coming.

She looked at Shangguan Wanwan, but she kept her head lowered.

"Your name sounds special to me. Which one is it?" Mo Xi was curious about the palace maid's calmness, as if she was staying out of the situation.

"In reply to my mistress, this humble servant's name is not worth your trouble..." The father-in-law rushed to flatter him, but Mo Xi stopped him with a look.

Shangguan Wanwan lowered her head and said respectfully: "If you want to reply to the little master, I am Wanwan."

After hearing this, Mo Xi just nodded and let them go. Then she became more and more curious about Shangguan Wanwan. Her voice was steady and calm when she spoke. It was obvious that she had an excellent upbringing. Although her tone was humble, she was completely indifferent.

And such elegant words as Wanfa are not something that ordinary maids can say.

After such a small delay, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and it started to rain. It was a long journey back to Zhongcui Palace from here, so Mo Xi hurriedly ran to a nearby palace wall to take shelter from the rain.

The summer rain came quickly, with a few thunders, the rain poured down heartily. Mo Xi crossed his arms and only wore a thin coat because of the sweltering heat when he came out. At this time, the rain washed away the hot air, and he felt relieved.

There was a hint of coolness. The splashing rain fell on the skirt, creating a mist, and even the clothes on the body became a little damp.

I thought that the rain would come and go quickly, but I didn't expect that after waiting for half an hour, it still hadn't stopped. Mo Xi stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops, bored, thinking that he would inevitably be laughed at by Fulan when he came back later, and he

This is as miserable as a drowned rat.

An umbrella covered her head, almost holding up a blanket. Under the yellow oilcloth umbrella was a warm color, and a smiling voice said: "You are not afraid of getting cold."

"I have met the emperor." Mo Xi quickly bowed his knees and saluted.

"No need." Baili Muyun didn't bring anyone with him today. He held an umbrella and stood side by side with Mo Xi under the eaves, looking at the rain falling in the distance like smoke and fog. "I didn't see you when I went to Zhongcui Palace.

Walking along this road, I didn't expect to see you looking so pretty in your wet clothes in the rain."

"Your Majesty made fun of him, it was Mo Xi who was rude." Mo Xi brushed the strands of hair from his forehead in embarrassment.

Baili Muyun held her hand and carefully put the strand behind her ear. His fingers lingered on her face and he said, "I heard that you were not doing well in Zhongcui Palace."

"No, I'm living a good life." Mo Xi knew that he couldn't hide Baili Muyun, but he also knew that Baili Muyun wouldn't come to help her solve these troubles for the time being. Instead of crying to him, it was better to be strong.

It's not like Hua Jingyuan didn't tell him those things. He knew all the hardships Mo Xi suffered, but he couldn't help her. Although Mo Xi was in Zhongcui Palace, the Queen Mother and the Empress "took care" of her a lot. Zuo Li

I thought no one knew about the hands and feet Mo Xi moved, but she didn't know that the Queen Mother could see them clearly in the dark.

And he couldn't do anything. Unless it endangered her life, Baili Muyun would not take action easily. But it seemed that she was fine for the time being.

Baili Muyun's fingers stopped for a moment, and he looked at her deeply. She only reached her chest, looking petite and fragile, as if he could wrap her up in his chest with just one stretch of his arm. He lifted her chin and stroked it with his thumb.

When she touched Mo Xi's red lips, she actually trembled and blushed on her face.

Baili Muyun couldn't help but laugh. He turned her body half a circle with all his strength, leaned her back against his chest, put his chin on the top of her head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Come with me to enjoy the new lotus flowers in the rain."

."

"Ruyu...how are you doing recently?" Mo Xi leaned against her chest and felt a little confused. He just found something to say to calm down his confused emotions.

"It's not bad, I just had a tough fight with the queen." Baili Muyun seemed to be chatting.

"How can she defeat the queen?" Mo Xi was puzzled.

"Didn't you teach her that she has nothing and can only rely on my favor? I have no choice but to pamper her." These words sounded a bit sour and jealous, as if she was complaining about Mo Xi pushing her into the arms of another woman.

.

"Ruyu told you?" Mo Xi was also a little funny, but he didn't expect that Ruyu had some tricks.

"Of course she won't say it. What I guessed was actually correct. It's really sad." Baili Muyun sighed deliberately and rubbed the top of Mo Xi's head with his chin, which made her feel a little painful.

In the boundless rain curtain, a man with beautiful trees in the wind holds an umbrella in one hand and holds a stunning beauty in light green clothes with the other. Not far away are dots of lotus flowers that are still standing straight in the rain. The rainwater falls in the pond and creates ripples.

, Shangguan

Wanwan was holding an umbrella in one hand and another in the other hand. It looked like she was going to deliver an umbrella to someone, but she had been standing in the rain for a long time, and her pants were half wet, looking not far away.

The eyes of the couple on the wall were burning and about to burst into tears.

"Han'er." Shangguan Wanwan trembled. There were not many people in the world who would call her that.

"Huajingyuan." She looked back at her father-in-law, who was also holding a black umbrella. He was also old, and his temples were gray and wrinkled. They were both old.

"That's the woman Mu Yun likes." Hua Jingyuan looked at her face that was no longer young. The rough life had worn her down and made her haggard. How could she still be the fresh and graceful Wan'er back then? He walked over to her with a sigh.

Looking side by side at the two figures in the distance.

"That's a smart and kind girl." Shangguan Wanwan said, her eyes somewhat kind.

"That's right." Hua Jingyuan also nodded, then looked at Shangguan Wanwan and said, "But she has no one she can trust in the palace. How long are you going to hide, Huner?"

"I'll go back and think about it." Shangguan Wanwan only said this, then turned and left.

Hua Jingyuan said from behind: "Even for Mu Yun, Wan'er, we owe him a lot."

Shangguan Wanwan paused for a moment, but then walked forward again.
