"What does it mean to be promising?" Mu Nanzhi took some ginseng and cleaned it while chatting with Princess Jing'an, "You have to be the queen's favorite concubine to be considered promising?"
Princess Jing'an nodded: "Isn't that right? My mother-in-law wishes that I would become her concubine and queen."
"But is the life of the queen and her beloved concubine really easy? They live by calculations all day long, calculating the lives of others, and being calculated by others. If they suddenly include their own lives in calculations, is this life really good? ? If this is how I can be successful, then I would rather not be successful in this life." Mu Nanzhi frowned.
Princess Jing'an glanced sideways at Mu Nanzhi and said softly: "I didn't understand when I was a child. All day long, I saw my mother and concubine living so hard, being cautious and walking on thin ice in front of my father, but for other empresses, But she has another fierce face. I always feel that she is really hardworking, and her life is not as comfortable as that of a cook in the palace. She is cheerful all day long, dealing with pots and pans all day long, but she is always humming. Xiao Qu'er, when the palace gave out rewards during the New Year's Day, she happily bought a lot of food, food and clothing for her husband and children. The family's life was tight, but they laughed constantly. Although I didn't say it, I was very envious in my heart, father. Although he loves me, he must have more than twenty children, so how can he care about me? My mother-in-law also loves me, but she has never made me a bowl of hot soup. "
"I'm quite envious too," Mu Nanzhi said softly, "Growing up in Tianjia, I have always been particularly envious of the smell of fireworks and the lives of ordinary people, but I am no longer envious."
Princess Jing'an couldn't help but pursed her lips when she heard this: "I'm not envious anymore."
The two of them smiled at each other, then lowered their heads and continued their work.

When Lu Zhishan and Du Heng rushed back, a table of delicacies had been prepared, and Mu Nanzhi and Princess Jing'an had already bathed, changed clothes, and packed up.
"It looks very delicious." Lu Zhishan and Du Heng entered the dining room and couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths. "It's a good thing the lunch was not used in the palace, otherwise it would have been a big loss."
"Look at your little potential," Mu Nanzhi smiled and glanced at Lu Zhishan. While pulling Lu Zhishan to the table, he said with a smile, "Jing'an and I have cooked, you and Du Heng are doing a lot better today." Eat something."
"Definitely," Lu Zhishan said with a smile, taking the chopsticks from Mu Nanzhi's hand, and said to Princess Jing'an, "Today is the Princess' return, and I have to trouble you to cook. It's really hard."
"It's not hard work," Princess Jing'an said with a busy smile. "Just because I cooked two dishes, I got two new clothes from Anle that she hasn't even put on yet. It's really not a loss."
"Thank you very much, Princess." Du Heng was so busy that he took out the jug and poured a glass of pomegranate wine for Mu Nanzhi. He said with a smile, "Princess, please."
Mu Nanzhi held the white jade wine glass and looked at the dark red wine inside. He suddenly remembered something and asked Du Heng: "What kind of gift did Xie Lun give you? You didn't tell me what kind of treasure it was that day." For you to be so strict?"
Du Heng stood up to pour wine for Lu Zhishan. He was stunned for a moment and almost poured the wine outside. Du Heng put down the wine bottle with a little embarrassment and said vaguely to Mu Nanzhi: "...it's nothing, just some Tubo specialties." ”
"Tubo specialty?" Mu Nanzhi asked curiously, "Is it delicious? Shan'er wrote to me and said that the local food in Tubo is really not used to it. I wonder what Xie Lun gave you? If it is delicious, I will also eat it. Shan'er, send me some."
