Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 297 Re-entering the Tiger's Den
As the twelfth lunar month comes to an end, it seems that the most important Spring Festival of the year is coming again.

When Zuo Mu was in the mood, he made a fuss with Sima Cheng to accompany her in cutting window grilles and making red lanterns. The two of them, like other young couples in the world, arranged the small yard happily, full of New Year's atmosphere everywhere.

But although the small courtyard was well furnished, Zuo Mu couldn't live here for the last year.

Happy time is always short. On the afternoon of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Zuo Mu received a letter from Wei Huiran's brother and sister, saying that the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the Empress Dowager had sent several messages. Live in the palace for a while.

Although the eldest princess has been helping to stop her, after all, the Empress Dowager is the legitimate mother-in-law, and the Chinese New Year is a big day for family reunion. The mother-in-law has come forward to say it several times, and Zuo Mu, a junior, has never shown up. great.

According to what Sima Cheng meant, he was determined not to let Zuo Mu go back, and if he found out, he would directly slap his face. But now is a critical period, and Zuo Mu naturally couldn't agree to take such a risk in this juncture. work,

In the early morning of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Zuo Mu was secretly sent back to Lanyun Villa by Sima Cheng.

However, as soon as Zuo Mu returned to Qianyunju, he heard someone coming from the palace again. This time, it was Li Nanny who was beside the Queen Mother who came to pick him up in person.

Really couldn't make excuses, Zuo Mu had no choice but to follow Nanny Li to Ci'an Palace of Empress Dowager Bai.

Zuo Mu didn't expect that it was easy for her to enter the palace and difficult to get out of the palace. Once she entered the tiger's den, she couldn't come out again until New Year's Eve.

Although the Empress Dowager Bai kept saying publicly that Princess Lan went to the villa outside the city to be relatively deserted and less festive, she was afraid that Sima Cheng would not be by her side, and Zuo Mu would feel lonely alone and pregnant with a child, making Zuo Mu feel lonely. Stay in her palace for a longer period of time to feel the warmth of home, so that she, the emperor's grandmother, will also give her heart to her little grandson.

But although the words are beautiful, and everyone is not a fool, who can not understand the little things in her heart:
Seeing that winter was almost over, Sima Cheng in Lingnan didn't show any signs of illness. On the contrary, he could eat and drink, and he heard that his health had recovered a lot.

Maybe it was because he was afraid that Sima Cheng would really think something over there, so he hurriedly pulled Zuo Mu into the palace as a bargaining chip, keeping it under his nose all the time.

Although the Empress Dowager Bai is generally quite kind this time, she really chose a quiet courtyard for Zuo Mu in Ci'an Palace, and only asked Zuo Mu to greet her every morning and evening, and went to a palace banquet in the morning and evening, without any other ideas ,
However, Zuo Mu is not living well these days.

Since moving to the small courtyard, Zuo Mu has been in a daze every day. He can't sleep at night, can't wake up in the morning, and has no appetite.

Seeing her go on like this day by day, Nanny An and Zi Yan were so anxious that they had been secretly wondering if Queen Mother Bai had given Zuo Mu some medicine secretly.

But the two searched for a few days with all kinds of means, but there was no clue at all, and they couldn't find any good method for the time being. In the end, they could only watch Zuo Mu's newly raised body, and it continued to lose weight day by day. .

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year, and another palace banquet was held in the Tiangong, but this time the scale was extraordinary.

The custom here in Xixia, the palace banquet on the first day of the new year is a New Year's dinner, and all officials above the third rank are required to bring their family members to participate, which can be regarded as a national celebration.

In the afternoon, Zuo Mu fell into a drowsy sleep and was half awake when she was forcibly pulled up by Ziyan. There was no other way, like this kind of palace banquet, she, Princess Kang, couldn't escape, and she had to suffer again. Half a day's sin is perfunctory.

In the half-asleep and half-awake state, Ziyan was finally ready. Zuo Mu got up and was about to go back to bed for a while, but suddenly heard a familiar voice from the yard, "Nurse An, Ziyan, Aunt Kang Wang Woolen cloth?"

"The Princess Zhaoran is here, and the princess is in the room,"

"Aiya..., you came here just now, and you still spend so much money, hurry up and get into the room to keep warm."

Zuo Mu didn't need to go out, he could tell by the sound, because of Wei Zhaoran's arrival, not only himself, but also Nanny An and Ziyan were very happy.

Sure enough, as Nanny An finished speaking, the door curtain was lifted, and it was Wei Zhaoran who really came in, with a little maid following behind him.

"What's the matter? I heard from Ziyan and the others that you haven't had a good appetite all this time, but what's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Wei Zhaoran threw down the food box in his hand as soon as he entered the door, and walked towards Zuo Mu in the inner room. rush.

As a result, when Zuo Mu turned his head and saw the sharp chin clearly, Wei Zhaoran stopped doing it immediately, "I'll go, what's the situation? Why did you lose so much weight in less than ten days? This Ci'an Are all the cooks in the palace dead? You can die sitting every day, can't you cook some delicious meals for you?"

"What kind of anger are you getting at? It's because I have a bad appetite. What are the cooks doing?" Seeing that Wei Zhaoran was still restless, Zuo Mu smiled and persuaded others, " Besides, if I want to eat, those cooks are disobedient, don't they have Zi Yan and An Momo, they can cook for me, don't they really starve me like a princess every day?"

"Since I ate well, why did I lose so much weight? I know, it must be because I don't live well here, and I can't live comfortably every day."

Wei Zhaoran's stubbornness is not willing to listen to persuasion. When he got up, he turned around and was about to go out, "No, I have to go to my grandmother and ask her to tell the Queen Mother right now that I will take you back to the villa after the dinner today. , save those who suffer here, and those who are skinny are neither human nor ghost."

"Princess, you forgot, we didn't come from the villa today, and because we wanted to see Concubine Kang, we entered the palace more than half an hour earlier. At this point, I'm afraid the eldest princess and the second young master should return On the way here." The little girl at the door reminded with a smile when she saw this.

This little maid, Zuo Mu, has some impressions that she is by the side of the eldest princess, and usually follows the eldest princess in and out of the palace gate, and Zuo Mu has seen it a few times in the villa, and she is very familiar.

It's just that Wei Zhaoran, who has always been a loner and doesn't like to have a maid, brought her out today?Quietly looking at the little girl, Zuo Mu thought silently.

"Oh, that's right, why did I forget about this?" After the little maid reminded him, Wei Zhaoran realized that he had lost his mind again, and hurriedly told the little maid, "That's fine, You go to the gate of the palace and wait now, if you see grandma and second brother coming, come and tell me quickly."

"Yes, servant girl knows." The little maid was used to seeing the world with the princess, and she was also a know-it-all. After listening to the order, she turned around and trotted to carry out the order.

But even though she left, Wei Zhaoran still couldn't settle down, like an ant on a hot pot, wandering around the door of the room.

"Come on, it's so hard for you to enter the palace. You haven't seen me for so many days. Don't you have a lot of things to tell me? What's the point of wandering around the door over and over again?"
