This morning, Hongli suddenly said he wanted to eat crystal shrimp dumplings while having breakfast. Lingruo happened to have nothing to do, so he wanted to make them for Hongli.
The most labor-intensive part of making shrimp dumplings is the skin. It should be as white as snow and as thin as paper, so that you can clearly see what is behind the skin at a glance. It took Ling Ruo a lot of effort to roll out dozens of skins. Wait a minute.
After the stuffing is almost marinated, start wrapping it into the crystal skin one by one.
While he was busy working, Nan Qiu walked in with a strange look on his face and said: "Master, Mo'er is outside. He wants to see the master and says that he has something important to report."
"Mo'er?" Ling Ruo stopped what she was doing, with doubts in her eyes, "Do you know what happened?" She has not appeared since the last time she drove Mo'er out of Chengqian Palace. Why?
Gu suddenly appeared again.
"My slave asked her, but she said she could not tell her until she met her master." Nan Qiu originally wanted to pass the message for Mo'er, but she couldn't stop her from begging. In addition, she was the one who took care of her before.
Being ruthless, I reluctantly agreed.
Ling Ruo was silent for a moment, but Shui Yue said: "Master, I saw her with Eunuch Xu from Yikun Palace during the day, and she seemed a bit familiar."
"Oh?" Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly. After thinking for a moment, she put down the half-wrapped shrimp dumplings in her hands and said to Nan Qiu: "Let her come in."
"Yes." Nan Qiu agreed, stepped back and left. After a while, a thin figure appeared in the sight of Ling Ruo and others together with her. Who else besides Mo'er?
Mo'er had been very nervous on the way here, fearing that if Ling Ruo refused to see him, the excuses he had planned would be useless. Fortunately, this did not happen.
"My slave, I bow to my master." Moer knelt down and kowtowed neatly. After staying in the palace for a long time, kowtowing and kneeling had become instinctive. It would be strange if there was a day when he no longer had to kneel.
"I am no longer your master. There is no need to call me that in the future. Tell me, what do you have to report to me?" Ling Ruo looked at her indifferently and dipped her hand in the clear water brought by Shui Yue.
The flour will smear the water into a turbid ru white color.
"Master, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I swear, it will never happen again, otherwise... otherwise..." Mo'er hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Cut off my hand!"
"
"I don't want to be a human being, so why should I cut off your hand? If that's what you mean, you can go back." Ling Ruo raised her hand and let Shui Yue wipe her dripping fingers with a handkerchief.
Mo'er has done her best to be kind and righteous, and she really has nothing to say.
"Master, please have mercy and forgive me for once!" Mo'er didn't care whether she would be punished. She stepped forward and clutched Ling Ruo's skirt and begged. She knew very well that if she couldn't stay in Chengqian Palace according to the words of the noble concubine, she would be
There will definitely be no good fruit to eat. Concubine Nian saved her, and the exchange condition was to do things for her.
Mo'er's entanglement made Ling Ruo frown slightly. She asked Shui Xiu to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the money and arranged a light job for Mo'er in a sewing bureau. Mo'er was not satisfied yet and kept pestering her here.
, he was really too greedy, no wonder he stole her jade beads.
Mo'er didn't know what he was thinking, but he kept kowtowing and begging. Since there was no way out this time, he begged harder than last time and kowtowed louder. After a while, the skin on his forehead was broken and dripping.
The red blood comes.
Although Ling Ruo didn't like Mo'er, he still couldn't bear to see her with a bloody head. She lowered her head and said, "If you don't like the work in the needlework bureau, I will arrange another one for you. As for returning,
There is no need for Chengqian Palace."
Sewing Bureau? Isn't it Xin Zheku? Doubts flashed in Mo'er's mind, but he couldn't think about it. He just couldn't help but begged: "Master, I really want to come back to you. You are the only one in this palace who is the most beautiful."
I feel sorry for my slave, and you saved my slave
I have never had a chance to repay my kindness. Please give me another chance. I will wear a grass ring to repay my master for his kindness." Ling Ruo's attitude made Mo'er very worried, but besides begging, she couldn't think of anything else.
Good idea.
"No need." Ling Ruo looked at Mo'er's wrinkled skirt and said, "I didn't ask you to repay me for saving you, and you don't have to keep it in mind. Just do your own errands and don't think about anything else.
Also, for the sake of getting acquainted, I would like to advise you again, don't be greedy in this palace, otherwise you will only harm yourself."
Mo'er felt resentful and bitter after hearing this. What he complained about was that at this time, Ling Ruo still suspected that he had stolen the beads; what hurt was that he could not defend himself after being wronged.
"Master, slave..." Mo'er just said a few words before being interrupted by Shui Yue, "Since you said you are loyal to the master, how come you have been hooking up with Eunuch Xu from Yikun Palace in the past few days?
, but don’t tell me that we met by chance on the road. Humph, maybe it was Concubine Nian who asked you to come here?"
Shuiyue said it casually, but she didn't want to but it hit Mo'er's guilty conscience, making her face suddenly turn pale. She quickly lowered her head, fearing that she would be exposed in front of Ling Ruo, but what happened in her panic?
He couldn't calm down and dug his fingers into the gaps between the blue bricks. After all, Mo'er had entered the palace not long ago and was not deeply involved in the world, so he still couldn't control his emotions well.
But Mo'er also knew that if she didn't answer, it would only make Ling Ruo more suspicious of her. Until then, if she wanted to come back, it would be really unreasonable.
"Master, I am indeed unfamiliar with Eunuch Xu. The reason why they got together is because the imperial concubine summoned Sister Zhilan. Well, Sister Zhilan is a palace maid that I met in Xinzhe's library. She is very nice.
"Okay, I take good care of my slave. Sister Zhilan was afraid of being alone, so she asked my slave to accompany her to Yikun Palace." This was the rhetoric Mo'er thought of on the way, and it is half true and false.
Xin Zheku? Ling Ruo raised her eyelids and looked thoughtful. She clearly arranged Mo'er in the needlework bureau, so why did she go to Xinzheku again? It was so strange that something went wrong.
After thinking for a while, there was still no answer. Seeing Mo'er kowtow again, he shook his head and said: "Don't kowtow anymore, and don't beg anymore. The people I kicked out have absolutely no reason to come back. You go."
Bar."
"No! Master, have mercy! Have mercy!" Mo'er didn't give up and kept pestering her. Shuiyue looked really upset and ordered Yang Hai to lead two young eunuchs to take Mo'er outside. Who would have expected that this man would still be there?
Instead of leaving, she knelt at the gate of Chengqian Palace and said that if Ling Ruoru didn't forgive her, she would never be able to kneel down.
Shui Xiu and others all shook their heads after hearing this. They couldn't understand why Mo'er became so stubborn. Under such circumstances, what could she do even if she came back? If she wasn't doing chores outside, it would be impossible for her master to reuse her.
It would be better for her to be in a needlework bureau.
