"Marilin?" Lu Zhihe frowned and said helplessly, "Concubine, you should have heard of this person. He is the most upright, selfless and fearless person. It seems that he was the reason why the prince was imprisoned in the East Palace. Here, this person has no family background, but he was promoted by his father at a young age and has been the commander of the patrol battalion for so many years. Now he has sat on the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. If Marilin has any sense, he must know that Xu Deliang How did this happen? Naturally, he would not be willing to contact the princes as soon as he took office, not to mention his kind of temperament. "
Concubine Wan Gui sighed: "It would be great if I could get help from this person."
Lu Zhihe also nodded and said: "What the mother-in-law said is absolutely true, but then again, if Ma Ruilin doesn't recognize our Yanxi Palace, he naturally won't recognize his Jingren Palace and Yuqing Palace, so things won't be worse. ”
Concubine Wan Gui hesitated and said: "But I heard that Marilin is still in charge of the patrol camp now?"
Lu Zhihe said solemnly: "This is what I want most at the moment. With the patrol camp, we can hide all the big and small things in the capital from our eyes, and it will come in handy when necessary."

The fourteenth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-third year of Jiasheng
Lantern Festival.
Xihuai Villa.
The man dug too deeply last night, and Mu Nanzhi woke up at midnight again. Lu Zhishan was leaning on a soft pillow and reading a book. Seeing the child wake up, he was so busy that he put down the book in his hand and rubbed his hands to warm them up. He went over and pinched the child's face: "Nanny is awake?"
"Cousin, my back is very sore," Mu Nanzhi muttered and cried to Lu Zhishan, "I blame you."
"Cousin, let me rub it for you." Lu Zhishan lay down and reached out to Mu Nanzhi's slender waist with his big hands to rub her, "Is it strong enough? Is it heavy?"
Mu Nanzhi nuzzled into his arms and said lazily, "That's just right."
Lu Zhishan rubbed the child's waist, maybe it was too comfortable, and the child fell asleep in his arms again. When he woke up again, it was already past noon.
Lu Zhishan had already gotten up first, estimated the time, and asked Jixiang to prepare lunch in the side hall. Mu Nanzhi happened to wake up at this time. He was afraid that the child would be very hungry, so he was not in a hurry to wash her up and went straight from the bed. I carried the child on the bed to the side hall. Fortunately, the room was covered with floor coverings, so the child was not afraid of being cold.
Mu Nanzhi leaned in Lu Zhishan's arms, drank a cup of tea first, and then hurriedly ate three yuanxiao. When he was about to eat the fourth, he suddenly turned around and turned to Lu Zhishan with a glare: "Cousin, today It’s the Lantern Festival!”
"You just know?" Lu Zhishan's heart melted when he looked at her appearance. He leaned over and rubbed the tip of Mu Nanzhi's round nose with his nose, "When it gets dark, my cousin will bring You go out to the lantern festival.”
Mu Nanzhi immediately beamed: "Okay, okay, then I have to keep some food in my belly."
"Nanny, do you want to keep your belly?" Lu Zhishan deliberately prolonged his voice and said with a bit of pity, "I just asked Jixiang to bring out frozen persimmons and pears. What should I do? Otherwise, give Jixiang and the others a few. It’s time to eat…”
"I can eat it! Cousin, I can eat it! Frozen persimmons and pears don't take up much space." The child immediately hugged the man's neck and acted coquettishly, "Cousin, can you not give it to Jixiang and the others? ? It’s all mine, it’s all mine!”
