Spring is coming

That day, Mo Jingchun was imprisoned in a dilapidated courtyard in the palace by Yin Jinglan.

She had just arrived and didn't know where this place was.

The guests in the backyard were busy chatting with the princess and Yin Jinglan. They didn't realize that the host of the banquet had already left the banquet for a long time. She knocked on the door for a long time, and no one came to open the door even though her voice was hoarse.

She had to find a clean place to sit down in the yard for the time being. She was wearing newly made clothes today, and she felt a little distressed. They were made of rain silk brocade.

It seems that the level of extravagance among the women in the palace is far beyond her previous knowledge. Yin Jinglan's newly made clothes will no longer be worn as long as they are worn more than three times.

Could such a luxurious palace be in such a dilapidated state?

She looked at the dry well, weeds and mottled blue bricks in the yard. Who lived here in the past?

Peeking in through the cracks in the window, there was nothing. Most of the furniture had been removed long ago, and the remaining bed frames and cabinets had long accumulated thick dust.

She should not watch anymore, she should find a way to get out. Could it be that Yin Jinglan didn't plan to let her go, so she would be locked up here until she starved to death?

Mo Jingchun tried to climb the wall, but failed and even ate a mouthful of dirt.

"Bah!" She leaned against the wall and heard a noise coming from outside the door.

"I'm here again. Today is the second young lady's birthday party. The prince and princess specially organized it for her. She is very nice. I have seen her from a distance. She looks like you, but not like you. You must have Don't worry about me anymore, I can't help you."

A female voice that has gone through many changes but is not muddy muttered through a wall.

"Who is outside? Can you help me open this door?"

Mo Jingchun didn't have time to think carefully about the meaning of her words when she mentioned him. He just wanted to seize this opportunity to escape, for fear that the other party would leave a moment later.

"Who? Who's in there?"

The other party was obviously startled, and it took a while before he dared to continue asking with a loud voice.

"I am the second young lady and I am locked up here. Can you help me open the door?"

Mo Jingchun felt hopeful that at least what she just said meant that he was a good person.

"Second Miss?" The man opened the door and his expression became strange when he saw that it was her. "Hey, why are you here?"

"Aren't you, Aunt Zhen?" Mo Jingchun was also surprised.

Aunt Zhen is the second-class nun under the princess, so how could this happen?

Maybe it's because today is special, or maybe it's this place that touches Grandma Zhen's memories.

Different from the mean and acrimonious look she showed towards her in the princess's yard, Aunt Zhen looked very worried: "The second young lady was teased by Miss Lan, right? Oh, you'd better avoid provoking the princess and Miss Lan. Live these two years peacefully, and when you get married, your life will be comfortable. With Concubine Xie's affection, the prince will definitely find a good marriage for you personally. "

Mo Jingchun lowered his eyes: "Thank you, Aunt Zhen, for saving me. However, I think you also understand your young lady's temperament."

"Well", "What did you just say under the roots of the wall? Is the people who worship the old people?" Mo Jingchun gradually returned to taste, and his tone seemed to ask.

"You - heard everything?" Aunt Zhen was shocked and closed her mouth tightly, "The old slave didn't say anything. It was the second lady who misunderstood. There are no old friends. No one has ever lived here."

"Really?" She sneered, "If it hadn't been for years of disrepair, I would have believed Mammy's lies if I heard it true. However, everything Mammy did was instructed by the Princess. As long as I tell the Princess truthfully what I heard, Then you can know whether what grandma said is true or false, right?"

"Second Miss, no!" Aunt Zhen blurted out. If the Princess knew that she secretly came here to worship Concubine Xie during the chaos, she would definitely have her skin peeled off and her tongue pulled out by the Princess!

Mo Jingchun waited for her next decision.

"Alas" Finally, after years of guilt and Mo Jingchun's coercion, Aunt Zhen chose to take her to a side room, opened the door, and led her in.

"Second Miss, you should read this notebook, but not now. This old slave can only say this. The backyard is already looking for you, let's go back first."

An old and yellowed but clean notebook was handed into her hands. The first page that caught her eye was a shocking statement. She really shouldn't read it at this time.

Mo Jingchun was shocked and hid it. When he returned to the backyard, Yin Jinglan was obviously dissatisfied with how she found a way to escape so quickly, but in front of others, he had to pretend to care about her like a sister. : "Where has the second sister gone? She disappeared for so long? Didn't she go to a beautiful place and get dazzled by the flowers?"

Her words also imply a warning: I have found a step for you, but you can't get off it.

Mo Jingchun, who was disturbed by the notebook, had no time to deal with her, so he only replied to the princess that he had a stomachache.

"Abdominal pain -" A woman sitting next to the princess smiled, and she seemed to be from the Chen family. "I'm afraid our second lady has never eaten so many good things before, so she can't help but be greedy and eat miscellaneous food. You just have abdominal pain, right?"

What she said was harsh and low-level, and it was undoubtedly an insult to a cook.

Mo Jingchun picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and said calmly: "The white sliced ​​chicken is better when the bone marrow has just solidified but is bright red in color. This dish is already old and tastes like chewing wax."

He put down the chicken and picked up a piece of sea cucumber: "Sea cucumber is a tasteless thing with a lot of sand and a fishy smell. It can be mixed cold with chicken juice, or it can be simmered in chicken soup with diced bamboo shoots and mushrooms. It must not be simmered in clear soup like this." "

She followed the same example and told the faults of the other dishes one by one. In the end, still expressionless, she asked the woman: "Does this lady think there is any dish on the table that is so delicious that you can't help but be greedy? Maybe it's Jingchun hasn't tasted it yet, so he asked me to try this delicacy, which saved me from being half full after the banquet."

She said it very rudely, touching on what she is best at, and she couldn't bear it.

The princess was already so angry that she couldn't hold her chopsticks steady. She still wanted to maintain a dignified look on her face, and forced a smile and said: "I didn't expect that you have a lot of insights into food. Today I hired a chef from Zuixian Tower to come to the house." I thought the chef's skills would be better than those of the chef at home, but I didn't expect them to be so incompetent. It seems unnecessary."

Yin Jinglan's expression also changed. Just now, she thought this eel soup was well made, but after drinking two more bowls, she seemed to be ignorant!

I simply pushed the bowl away and never ate again.

Before leaving, she glared at Mo Jingchun again, and Mo Jingchun looked straight back: "Those dirty tricks are not worthy of the status of the eldest daughter of the prince's palace. My sister is so beautiful and well-behaved that she knows that she will not There was a time when I was accidentally locked in an uninhabited courtyard and I was told that Tian Tian should not respond, right?"

"You!" Yin Jinglan could only say that he had a temper and no brains. He was so angry that Mo Jingchun had already left before he knew how to respond to her.
