"Yes, I obey." The palace maid was so busy that she asked someone to carry out the boxes of fruit snacks.

After dinner, Princess Jing'an came to see Mu Nanzhi.
Mu Nanzhi was a little unhappy, holding a book of scriptures and flipping through it randomly. When he saw Princess Jing'an coming in, he put down the book and forced a smile to Princess Jing'an: "The princess is here."
Princess Jing'an put down the baggage in her hand, then sat down opposite Mu Nanzhi, and said apologetically: "The Queen Mother has scolded you again today, but I can't speak for you. Don't take it too seriously. Wait until you get down the mountain. It’ll be okay.”
Mu Nanzhi was groggy after her morning class, so she was summoned to the front yard by the Queen Mother. She was scolded by the Empress Dowager, saying that she did not practice Buddhism quietly and that her handwriting was ugly and could not be read. Zhi was already wilting when he got up early this morning. After being scolded by the Empress Dowager, he became even more wilted. As soon as he returned to the backyard, he fell asleep. Ji Xiang was sad and embarrassed. The Empress Dowager ordered Mu Nanzhi to copy the scriptures again. Mu Nanzhi is slow in writing. If he doesn't get up quickly to copy the scriptures, he will have to stay up late again today, and he will have to wake up at midnight the next day. It is really impossible to make it through.
But Jixiang looked at Mu Nanzhi's drowsy appearance and did not call her up. Today is Mu Nanzhi's birthday. In previous years at the palace, Lu Zhishan would definitely celebrate Mu Nanzhi's birthday well, but this year he has to Mu Nanzhi celebrated his birthday alone in front of the ancient Buddha with green lanterns. Ji Xiang knew that Mu Nanzhi felt uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything much. He immediately put down the bed curtain and quietly walked out.
Mu Nanzhi slept until dusk, even skipping lunch. She was too lazy to eat dinner. Looking at the plain noodles that Jixiang brought in, she even lost her appetite. She waved her hand and asked Jixiang to take it, and then she was alone. Sitting in a soft tower reading scriptures, in fact, I can't even read a single word.
She really missed Lu Zhishan so much that she couldn't stand it anymore.
…
"It's okay, I'm used to it," Mu Nanzhi said dullly to Princess Jing'an, "No matter what I do, the Queen Mother doesn't like me."
"It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't like you," Princess Jing'an couldn't hold back, but said, "Before leaving the palace, the Queen invited the Queen Mother to go to Jingren Palace. The Queen repeatedly asked the Queen Mother to take strict care of the princess and try to pick as many choices as possible. A little bit of irritation spread to the palace, and the prince regained his favor. Prince Gong was not of the same mind as the queen, and Prince Bao wanted to win over Prince Ning. Naturally, the queen became anxious, holding back her intention to find fault with the prince, but there was Concubine Li is acting like this, and the queen doesn’t dare to interfere with the previous court, so naturally she can only fall on you, princess.”
"I also guessed that the Queen Mother has always been kind and gentle, but this time she was extremely harsh on me. There is a reason." Mu Nanzhi looked at Princess Jing'an gratefully, "However, I still want to thank the Princess for taking this matter to the next level." Tell me."
"I just talk, but I can't actually help you with anything. By the way, I still have something to give you," Princess Jing'an said, opening the bag and taking out a pomelo and two Oranges and four tangerines were placed in front of Mu Nanzhi, "The prince sent many fruits from the south of the Yangtze River. Today, he asked the prince's housekeeper to deliver them to the mountain. There are also many pastries and snacks, but the Queen Mother feels that it is against the rules. I ordered people to throw all these fruit cakes down the mountain, and I was quick to pick a few and sneak them over to you. "
Mu Nanzhi looked at the bright yellow pomelo, orange and tangerine on the table, and his eyes turned red for a moment.
