Chapter 90: Wake up from a night drink
Knowing what happened to Chu Ruo, An Su was obviously in a low mood. She and Chu Ruo haven't been together for a long time, but this innocent, cute and coquettish sister, she has spent her heart and mind to protect it.
At that time, in the palace maid's office, in order to let her dance in the dance workshop without worry, Zhou Meihong was selected to Changle Palace, and she actually killed her by mistake. Ansu was a little reluctant to go, but he never regretted it. Now that she is in such an experience, she is really heartbroken, and she just wants to solve her predicament quickly.
With a sad face, he returned to the Huanning Palace, but the hall was full of joy. It stands to reason that at this time, Mo Shang should have waited for Xu Meiren to sleep, but before she entered the hall, she heard everyone's laughter. An Su walked in suspiciously, and in a blink of an eye, he was pulled to Xu Meiren by Mo Shang.
"Mother, Ansu is finally back."
Xu Meiren was fiddling with a gadget on the table at this time, it seemed that it was sent by the emperor, and An Su didn't care. Since the lifting of the ban in Huanning Palace, the emperor has often asked people to send some rewards, which has lasted for several days, and everyone should get used to it.
"Ansu, you came back just in time, there is a happy event." Xu Meiren turned around, and sure enough, she had a happy smile on her face.
"Niangniang, what kind of happy event is like this?" An Su looked outside meaningfully, and the palace maids and eunuchs of Huanning Hall were all beaming with joy on their faces.
Before Xu Meiren could speak, Mo Sheng couldn't help but preemptively say: "Didn't the emperor originally choose some Taoist priests to do things, they need the ladies in the palace to watch the ceremony, but the space is limited. Originally, it was the Queen Mother, the Queen, Mrs. Emei, Mrs. Luoyan, Mrs. Qi and Concubine Cao, but according to the calculations of the Taoist priests, Mrs. Emei's birthday and the law conflicted, and they designated Xu Ji Niangniang, who matched the eight characters. ”
"Eight characters don't match?" Ansu muttered in a low voice, always feeling that this matter was very strange.
"Ansu, why are you so sad? That's a great thing! The emperor personally appointed it, which is the supreme glory! Mo Shang felt that An Su's performance was a little strange.
"If it's really a matter of eight characters, it's naturally a good thing, but it's just a strange matter."
Xu Meiren saw An Su's serious expression, so she walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Niangniang think about it, those Taoist priests were found by the emperor from outside the palace, how can they easily know the birth dates of each palace mother? Moreover, even if Mrs. Emei is in conflict, why do they designate Niangniang? These masters in the palace, there are always the majority of the eight characters who do not clash with each other, why are they mothers? Besides, those Taoist priests have just entered the palace, how do they know the name of Niangniang? ”
Listening to An Su's words, Xu Meiren and Mo Sheng were still pondering, they were stunned by the sudden joy before, and they didn't think of this at all.
"Will it ...... Could it be that the emperor handed over the birthday of the ladies to those Taoist priests? Mo Shang guessed.
"It's not impossible, but how could the emperor easily reveal the news of the ladies in the palace to the Taoist priests? Besides, Niangniang didn't have to go, even if she needed a birthday, she wouldn't have to go to Niangniang's head! ”
"Maybe in addition to the three ladies, our mother's position is the highest?"
"Then there are the concubines, too." An Su was about to continue, but when she thought of Xu Meiren's rare happiness, she still changed her words, "Maybe I'm too vigilant, but there is one thing, in the heart of the slave and maid these days, it is better to tell the mother." ”
"Do you have something to hide from Hongu?" Xu Meiren was suspicious.
An Su solemnly knelt down: "Niangniang, please forgive the slave for the crime of concealing it." In fact, the slave maid found out that at the last night banquet, the stargazer brought by the envoy of Wu State had already colluded with Mrs. Emei in private, and the grounding was also a trap that they had discussed a long time ago and used to harm Niangniang. ”
"So what you mean?" Xu Meiren couldn't help but cover her heart, she understood that the struggle in the palace was fierce, but she didn't expect that there would be such a twisting and turning method, but it was really impossible to prevent it.
"In this ceremony, Mrs. Emei among the few female dependents was replaced by Mrs. Niangniang, and the slave maid really had to think more." An Su made no secret of his worries.
"Do you think they wanted to use this ritual to harm the palace for the second time when they couldn't make a plan last time?"
"The slave just has such a guess, but I don't know if it's true, but it's always good to be careful."
Mo Shang also helped on the side: "Yes, Niangniang, we really have to be careful." Since you entered the palace, they have resorted to trickery several times, and you have always taken care of them for the sake of the emperor, but if these people become more aggressive, we really can't prevent it. The slave felt that Ansu was right, and she had to be careful in everything. ”
"In that case, do you have any good ideas?" Xu Meiren motioned for them to sit down together.
The palace people in Huanning Hall are different from others, Xu Meiren treats people kindly, and occasionally she and the palace people do not distinguish between you and me, and they are intimate, so the treatment is exceptionally better, and it always attracts the envy of other palace people. At this time, An Su and Mo Sheng were sitting on both sides of Xu Meiren, and they didn't feel panic, such things are common in Huanning Palace.
"On the day of the ceremony, both of us went with Niangniang, and Sister Moshang always followed Niangniang, so I went around to check, and if I found anything unusual, I would report it immediately." An Su can only think of this method at the moment, and he doesn't know what the other party is doing, so he can only see the trick when the time comes.
"I'm fine, I'll definitely follow my mother's side." Mo Shang assured.
Even so, An Su was still a little apprehensive in her heart, she took a deep breath, but the smell of spices got into her nose. An Su suddenly remembered what Zili told her, what was ordered in the Huanning Hall today was still the spice given by the Queen Mother, which contained a strong musk.
An Su raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Meiren, she even looked at the gadgets sent by the emperor, her eyes were full of affection. Some of the women in the palace are for status, some for power, and some for glory and wealth, and there are very few people like Xu Meiren who love so purely, and who are so sincere. This matter should still be left to her own choice, she has the right to choose.
An Su took a deep breath and said, "It's getting late, Sister Moshang, it's time to wait for the mother to rest." ”
"Yes! It's getting late. ”
"Sister Moshang, you're tired for a day today, so let's go down and rest first, I'm here!"
Mo Sheng didn't doubt that he had him, and went back to the room after saying thank you, and An Su breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that I don't trust Moshang, but this matter is very important, and the less people know about it, the better.
"Ansu, you deliberately took away Mo Shang, do you have anything to say to this palace?" Xu Meiren really saw it.
An Su nodded: "Does Niangniang like children?" ”
Xu Meiren was suspicious: "Child? You mean......? ”
"It's been almost a year since Niangniang entered the palace, do you want to have children for the emperor?" An Su really felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to ask this, but he couldn't pick out a better word for a while.
"Of course I want to, if you love someone, you naturally want to have and his blood." Xu Meiren smiled shyly, "Ansu, why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”
"Niangniang, you have been favored by the emperor since you entered the palace, and it stands to reason that you should be pregnant, but there has been no news until now, what have you suspected?" An Su gritted her teeth and asked the question anyway.
"Ansu, what do you want to say?" Xu Meiren suddenly became nervous.
Ansu wanted to tell her directly, but she was worried that the wall had ears, so she got up and went outside to look around before returning to her and sitting down. Such a cautious behavior made Xu Meiren especially feel that what An Su was about to say was a very important event.
"Niangniang, when the slave maid was in Changle Palace, the Queen Mother asked the slave maid to send some of the same spices to the masters of each palace, which is being lit by Huanning Palace." An Su forced herself to look into Xu Meiren's eyes and said word by word, "These spices contain a taste of musk, which makes people unable to get pregnant, and there is a real amount of weight in them, if you keep ordering it, you will definitely not have any more children." ”
"What?!" Xu Meiren was really shocked, she could barely support her body. An Su hurriedly helped her to barely stabilize her figure.
"The slave maid has been serving in Huanning Hall for a while, and her body is also stained with this fragrance, so a friend from the Tai Hospital smelled it carefully and informed the slave maid of this matter." An Su was a little unbearable, but at this point, he still had to continue, "The Queen Mother should have informed all the doctors in the Tai Hospital, so she didn't let anyone spread the matter. ”
"But why did the Queen Mother do this?"
"Niangniang should also know that the Queen Mother has always wanted the Queen Mother to give birth to the emperor's eldest son, and the pregnant Niangniang in the former palace failed to give birth, I am afraid that it is also due to the Queen Mother." An Su said in a deep voice, "The slave maid told Niangniang about this, and I hope that Niangniang will keep quiet, if the Queen Mother knows, I am afraid that it will lead to death." ”
Xu Meiren's mood gradually eased a little: "Ansu, this palace is looking forward to having a child." ”
"The slave told the mother about this, just to let the mother make her own choice." An Su said honestly, "If the mother doesn't want to take risks, and just wants to keep the emperor safe, then pretend that she doesn't know anything and continue to use this spice." If the mother really wants to have a child, the slave will do her best to protect the mother. ”
Xu Meiren hesitated for a moment: "Ansu, this palace wants a child." ”
An Su nodded expectedly: "Then from now on, Niangniang must be prepared, this road is not easy to walk." ”
"Bengu knows, so Ansu, please help Bengu." Xu Meiren held An Su's hand tightly, "This palace knows that you are very smart, and you will definitely have an idea in this matter, right?" ”
"The mother can trust the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are very grateful." An Su took a deep breath, "That lady will stop using the spice from now on, and the slave will find someone to make a spice that tastes similar, but does not contain musk." However, this matter must not be told to anyone, otherwise it will definitely lead to danger. ”
"Okay, this palace will listen to you." Xu Meiren said worriedly, "But if the palace is pregnant with a child, the queen mother will always know one day, what should she do then?" ”
"Since Niangniang has decided, she must be ready to face the Queen Mother. According to the slave maid, the queen mother will not do it openly, if she can avoid all the murders in the dark, she may still have a chance. After An Su finished speaking, he reminded, "And if the mother is really pregnant with the dragon, I am afraid that the queen mother will be released, and the other mothers will not be idle." ”
"Bengong understands, it's just one step at a time!" Xu Meiren sighed softly and said with determination, "Ansu, go and dispose of that spice!" ”
