Chapter Eighty-Nine: Song of Sorrow and Sorrow

The queen mother's movements are fast, but the will is the emperor's. The Taoist priests outside the palace looked for batch after batch, and finally selected some of the people who were most satisfactory to the Queen Mother. At the same time, the door of Huanning Hall was also reopened, all the guards outside were removed, Xu Meiren and the palace people in the entire palace received many rewards, and even the emperor stayed in Huanning Hall for three consecutive nights, coaxing Xu Meiren very happy.

These days, Huanning Hall has gone from being unpopular and unpopular, and suddenly it has become a piece of fragrant bait, and the things that were originally short and lacking have been made up one by one, and they have received a lot of filial piety from various palaces, which is really majestic. Xu Meiren has always cared about this, but the emperor came to accompany her more, and she was in a good mood and no longer sick.

An Su is loyal, Xu Meiren is happy, and she rejoices. This matter was all facilitated by Gu Wenzhou, and An Su chose among his rewards, always thanking him. just picked and chosen, none of them matched him, and finally took a bag of good tea from the emperor to give it to him.

Before going to the Changting Hall again, An Su deliberately put on the pair of butterfly hairpins, which were the pair that Gu Wenzhou bought for her outside the palace. This hairpin is precious, she is a palace maid, it is not suitable to dress up too gorgeous, so she always treasures it, and she wears it on her head today, but she is still a little embarrassed.

An Su took a photo in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and always felt that she was dressed too grandly, but she still looked extremely beautiful, and she was reluctant to take it down again. After struggling like this for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, went out like this, and went to the Changting Hall with joy.

Walking on the palace road, An Su suddenly saw Shen Zhengqing and his party, as if they were heading in the direction of the palace gate, so they were coming towards her. She realized that Deng Tong entered the palace in the name of Shen Zhengqing, and the envoys of the country naturally couldn't stay in the palace for too long, and now they were about to leave the palace.

"Miss Shangguan." Deng Tong walked up to An Su and stopped her directly. The eunuch who led the way did not care, and led the others away, leaving room for them to speak.

"Don't worry, the eunuch knows about you solving three problems at the night banquet, but he just thinks that according to the nature of a slave, he will embarrass you if he meets alone, so he deliberately avoids it, worried about getting into trouble!"

An Su still breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually, "Are you going to leave the palace?" ”

"Yes, does the girl think of slaves?" Deng Tongshen Zhengqing's face put on that bewitching demeanor, which made An Su's stomach tumble for a while.

"No, it won't." She replied in the affirmative.

"The girl really knows how to break the heart of a slave!" Deng Tong snorted aggrievedly, and in a blink of an eye, he raised a smile again, "However, the slave won't be gone for too long, and it will only take a day or two to return to Miss Ansu." ”

"What do you want to do?" An Su was curious, how else could he come and go in the palace at will.

Deng Tong leaned close to An Su's ear: "This is a secret, when the girl sees the slave, she will naturally know." ”

The eunuchs over there had already looked over here, and they didn't have to say more, Deng Tong only left with a mysterious smile, which caused An Su to be puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what would happen to him.

However, although Deng Tong is so mysterious, An Su is still very relieved to hand over the two children to him, and this kind of inexplicable trust is also commendable, just like An Su will trust Gu Wenzhou unconditionally.

Walking to the Changting Palace, An Su was still directly welcomed into the hall.

Now the trees are bare, there are no more fallen leaves, and the yard no longer needs to be cleaned by the palace maids. The two palace maids who swept the fallen leaves before sat in the courtyard to rest, they were on errands in the Changting Palace, and they were much more leisurely than other places, in the end, Gu Wenzhou, the master, did everything himself, and they didn't need to bother to serve.

"When I saw you coming, I knew that the errand of Huanning Hall had been idle." Gu Wenzhou saw the butterfly hairpin on An Su's head at a glance, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. He's not a person, but Ansu is so beautiful that he doesn't even want to look away.

"Originally, as soon as the Huanning Hall was lifted, I wanted to thank you, but there were always too many things at that time, so it was delayed for a while." An Su was a little embarrassed, so he gently put the tea on the table, "Thanks to you last time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have rewarded a lot of good things in Huanning Palace, but I hold you up and you won't like those golden and jade things, and only this bag of tea is still good." ”

"Ansu won my heart." As soon as Gu Wenzhou's words came out, An Su's heart jumped wildly, what he said was really misunderstood. An Su didn't realize that he was too careful, but because after Gu Wenzhou finished speaking, the roots of his own ears were also a little red.

The two of them didn't say much, took out the tea and brewed it, and took this opportunity to chat. An Su didn't realize it on weekdays, and when she was always with Gu Wenzhou, she was unintentionally influenced by him. An Su had never learned anything when he was in Qinghe County, and although he was a little smart, he was only a little wise after all. Gu Wenzhou traveled all over the world, and when he talked to her about what he had seen and heard everywhere, An Su was very yearning, as if he had traveled with him.

When the afternoon came, it was still sunny and warm, and the conversation was lively for a while, and before I knew it, it was dark. Ansu felt the night breeze blowing in outside, and realized that it was getting late, even if she was still reluctant to talk, it was time to go back.

"Don't worry, if An Su wants to hear interesting stories from all over the world in the future, come to me again." Gu Wenzhou smiled softly at An Su, "The coming day is long, there is always a time to speak." ”

Walking out of the Changting Palace, it is still a long journey back. Gu Wenzhou was going to send her, but An Su was worried that she would be seen by the palace people, maybe there would be some gossip, if the queen mother knew that they had a private connection, I was afraid that she would suspect the matter of Huanning Palace, so she insisted on going alone.

The closest place to the long pavilion hall is the music workshop and the dance hall, these two places often come out of the drum music during practice, in order to avoid disturbing the palace masters, they are also arranged in a more remote location, so it is a little closer to the long pavilion hall, but it is also a distance.

When Ansu walked here, the dance hall was still brightly lit, and there was also the sound of drums. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Chu Ruo for a while, and there was no news from the dance studio. But An Su always felt that no news was good news, and if she had suffered any grievances, she would definitely come to her to cry.

An Su raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the dance workshop, maybe Chu Ruo was practicing her favorite dance in it at this time! She couldn't help but fantasize about the way she danced at first, she was so thin, she must have looked good when she danced, and maybe she could practice the feeling of dancing like a dragon.

It's just that An Su is walking, and there are some inappropriate sounds in this dance music, as if someone is suppressing a quiet cry. Singing and dancing are supposed to be pleasant, and when mixed with crying, people feel a sense of pain. In the midst of all the joyful music, this crying is even more sad.

Ansu followed the source of the crying sound, and finally saw a woman in a dance dress at the side door of the dance room. The woman was dressed in a dance dress, but she had a broom in her hand. There was a pile of dust around her, and this kind of cleaning work should have been done by Mai Ji's rough envoy palace maid, and it would never have been done by Mai Ji. An Su thought to herself that this woman must have been bullied by the people inside, and felt a little pity for her in her heart, so she walked over and sat down beside her.

"Bullied?" Ansu just asked casually, and the woman looked up at her, and she burst into tears.

The moonlight was dim at night, and it was close at this time, and An Su saw her face clearly, this person was actually Chu Ruo who she thought would shine in the dance hall. Her face was covered with a little dust, and her hair was half scattered, and she knew that she was being bullied. An Su couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart, Chu Ruo, who was well protected by her in the palace maid, ended up in such a situation.

An Su let Chu Ruo hug her and cry, and only softly persuaded her not to make noise with the people in the dance workshop, so she lowered her voice slightly. After she had a good cry, Ansu took a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears on her face. The tears slipped through, but the dust on the face was washed away, revealing a beautiful girl's face.

"Chu Ruo, tell me about it! You're in the dance shop, what's going on? Why did you end up in such a situation? Seeing that her mood was gradually stabilizing, An Su asked.

Chu Ruo rubbed his eyes: "I was still very good when I first came to the dance studio, eating, sleeping, and dancing every day, I was very happy." But later, somehow, I offended Sister Xuanrong, the most powerful sister in the dancing girls, and Mama Xi always sent me to stand in the back row, and Sister Xuanrong also loved to find fault with me. Later, I was always kicked out by them to do the cleaning work, and I couldn't go in to practice dancing until I was done. ”

Chu Ruo cried again as she spoke, the expression on her face twisted into a ball.

An Su patted her on the back at once: "If you don't cry at the beginning, they bully you like this, why don't you find a chance to tell me and Zili?" ”

"When I was in the palace maid's house, I have been taken care of by my two sisters, and if I am assigned to the dance hall, I have to ask my sisters to help me out, wouldn't it be troublesome for you." Chu Ruo said aggrievedly, "Besides, I heard that Sister Shangguan is always troubled by the Queen Mother in Changle Palace, and I really don't want you to bother with my affairs again." ”

"Silly girl!" Ansu helped her wipe away her tears again, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you find a way." ”

"Sister Shangguan, I heard that you are now on an errand in Huanning Palace?"

"Well, Xu Meiren treats me very well." An Su and Chu Ruo leaned together, like two kittens snuggling up to each other for warmth.

"Sister Shangguan, then don't go to the troubled waters for me, if you accidentally cause trouble, you will lose such a good errand in vain."

"How could I watch you suffer here!" An Su patted her shoulder comfortingly, "I will help you, endure it for a few more days, I will think of a way to help you teach that Xuanrong a lesson, so that she will never dare to bully you in the future." ”

"But Sister Shangguan, that Sister Xuanrong is very powerful, everyone in the dance workshop stutters about her, and even Mama Jiaoxi loves her very much, as if she is ...... It seems that there is a high-ranking master behind her! Chu Ruo's face was worried.

"Mrs. Emei?" This person popped into Ansu's mind first.

But Chu Ruo shook his head: "I don't know about this, but I've heard other people talk about it, Sister Xuanrong is beautiful and dances well, and the master who supported her wants to train her well, and she will be sent to the emperor to serve in the future." ”

"To the emperor?" An Suhu shook his head suspiciously.

Mrs. Emei is extremely jealous, and she will definitely not tolerate a person she has cultivated to take away the emperor's favor, and the person behind Xuan Rong will definitely not be her. But apart from Mrs. Emei, An Su couldn't think of a second person for a while.

Chu Ruo tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Sister Shangguan, what are you thinking?" ”

"Nothing." An Su smiled softly, "Don't worry, no matter who she is, I won't let you be bullied anymore, I will think of a good way." ”
