On the day of the polo match, Ansu, as the steward of the palace maid, took the people from the palace maid to send flowers and plants. This competition is very huge, and it is also an annual grand ceremony, if the palace people are lucky enough to see it, it will be a blessing from the cultivation of three lives. It's just that although the palace maid was involved in this errand, she only went to set up the venue before the game, and she didn't have the opportunity to see the grand occasion of the game.

However, even this is enough to open the eyes of these young palace maids. On the way back to send the flowers, everyone couldn't help it, so they chatted about the game. Ansu originally wanted to stop it, but they also looked at the lively temperament, and their voices were very low, so they turned a blind eye and forgot it.

"I heard that in this polo match, the participants are all real princes and nobles, and even some princes and kings who have fiefs will return to the palace to participate!"

"Yes! It's an annual festival with two days of competition and dinner in the evening. ”

"I heard that among the princes who returned to the palace this time, King Zhao, King Yan, and King Dai will also come. These three princes and kings are all handsome and talented, if I can marry such a gentleman, it means that I am willing to live a short life of ten years. ”

"You are so bold, these are royal relatives and nobles, how can you look down on a little palace maid? What's more, King Zhao is the husband of Princess Lu Yuan, do you dare to rob people with the princess? ”

"I'm just talking, isn't there still King Yan and Acting King?"

"King Yan is a good woman, and there are more than 20 concubines in the concubine room, not counting those who sleep outside and sleep in the willows. As for the acting king, it is the best-looking one among all the princes and kings, I heard that the acting king is both civil and military, and he is kind and kind, and he is a rare humble gentleman. How many women can't wait to pounce up, how can it be your turn? Jiang Qingran glanced at the palace maid and said disdainfully.

"Can't I think about it?"

A palace maid who had not spoken for a long time suddenly said: "Actually, I was fortunate to meet the acting king once. ”

"What? Have you ever seen the Acting King? Are you sure? ”

She nodded seriously: "My hometown is near Daiguo, and once I went out to go out to make clothes, and I happened to meet Daiwang and lead people out on a safari." Although I did not dare to step forward, I glanced at it hurriedly, and I was really shocked. ”

Everyone began to talk again, probably expressing their envy for the palace maid. The palace maid thought for a while, and then said, "But I have also seen men in the palace who are comparable in appearance to kings of the same generation. ”

"In the palace? Who is it? ”

"It's also a quick glance, but I heard the people next to me call him 'Gu Xiangshi'."

When An Su heard this title, his heart was suddenly shocked, and then the corners of his mouth rose, as if his treasures had been recognized by others, and his heart was sweet.

"Gu Xiangshi? Are you saying that Gu Xiangshi came to the palace? Jiang Qingran was also a little excited.

Somehow, An Su heard them praise Gu Wenzhou, although he was also happy, but he didn't want others to mention him more in his heart, as if he was afraid that his treasure would be taken away by others. When she heard Jiang Qingran ask like this, she just thought about stopping her quickly.

"That's it! We are out today on errands, not about our masters. If anyone talks more, be careful to go back and get boarded! "After An Su became a housekeeper and palace maid, he didn't often find fault with them, and now he occasionally reprimanded them, and the effect is not bad.

"Ansu is right, the affairs of the masters, how can a slave be broken." Mama Qin, who was originally staying in the palace maid's house, actually walked out of the palace road next to her, "It's the first time for you to do such an important errand by yourself, I'm really a little worried. ”

"Mama, everyone has never seen such a grand occasion, and after a few more words, I won't do it again in the future." An Su didn't think that everyone would really be punished, so he spoke out at this time.

"Well, let's go back quickly!" Mama Qin led everyone and continued to go back to the palace maid's house, and no one dared to talk quietly anymore.

Around the corner of the Phi Xiang Palace, there is an extremely long palace road, which seems to be endless. Whenever I walk through this road, I feel that this place is like the days in this palace, long and boring. An Suzheng sighed at the hard life in this palace, but a sheep's cry entered his ears.

This is fresh, according to the rules of the palace, it is not possible to drive on the palace road, let alone walk with sheep. But the sounds I heard just now were indeed the cries of sheep.

The team of palace maids was moving forward in an orderly manner, and suddenly a sheep cart rushed out from the front. The sheep cart came straight towards the palace maids, and the people in the cart were still laughing, as if they had deliberately driven the sheep cart to crash into them. For a while, everyone panicked, shrunk and ran in all directions, and even Mama Qin gave way to the palace wall for a long distance.

When the chariot driver saw them like this, he laughed all the more happily, and dragged the cart after those who were particularly afraid. When he was tired of playing, he noticed Ansu standing motionless in place, and finally stopped the sheep cart.

"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor." An Su's voice surprised Liu Ying, who was sitting in the sheep cart, but she didn't expect that a palace maid who had just entered the palace would be able to recognize him.

When the other fleeing palace maids heard this, they all looked at each other, and saw that Mama Qin also knelt down and saluted, only to realize that the person in front of them was the current Son of Heaven, and quickly knelt down tremblingly, buried their heads on the ground, and never dared to look at them again.

"Do you recognize me?" Liu Ying got out of the sheep cart with great interest, and raised her hand to let An Su get up and reply.

"The slave didn't know it, but I heard that there were rules in the palace, and no one was allowed to drive on the palace road. The rules are set by the ancestors, the ancestors are the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is the emperor, and the only person who can change this rule is the emperor. ”

"That's right, they're all running around just now, why don't you hide?"

An Su smiled indifferently: "Since the slave has already guessed that the person driving the sheep cart is the emperor, why should she hide?" This harem is the emperor's harem, we are in the harem, and we are naturally all people who are protected by the emperor, is it possible that the emperor will let us really get hurt? The slave trusted the emperor, so she never dodged. ”

"Okay, I didn't expect there to be such a well-spoken person among the palace maids, which palace are you serving in?" Liu Ying looked at An Su with a little more appreciation in her eyes.

"Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids have just entered the palace for less than half a year, and they have not yet been assigned to the palace of the masters, and they are now staying in the palace maids for training." An Su lowered her head, feeling that Liu Ying was approaching her, and her heart suddenly became uneasy.

"I don't have to train anymore, so that's good." Liu Ying suddenly hugged An Su horizontally, "With such appearance and courage, wouldn't it be a pity to be a palace maid, I would like you to be a master?" ”

An Su thought that the palace was huge, and it must be easy to see the emperor, so he never inquired about the emperor's temperament and preferences, but who knew that a few words caught his attention and made things come to such a point. She had never been in contact with a man like this, and her whole body stiffened.

"Emperor, Emperor, please listen to the slave!"

Liu Ying originally wanted to carry An Su into the sheep cart, but when she heard the words, she stopped, looked at her like this, and waited for her words. An Su struggled lightly a few times, and Liu Ying understood, so she put her down. An Su's feet fell to the ground, and she felt a little more secure, and she quickly thought about how to answer in her mind, which could not only save the emperor's face, but also allow herself to avoid this catastrophe.

"The slave is dull, thanks to the emperor's refusal to abandon her. But the slave was born in a peasant family and did not know the rules of the palace, and the training of the palace maid was also to avoid making some jokes in the future because he did not understand the rules. Therefore, the slave begged the emperor to allow the slave to stay in the palace maid's house until the end of the training. An Su thought that if he refused directly, no matter what he said, it would make the emperor unhappy, so it was better to retreat and buy more time for himself.

"You're sensible, but now that you've become the master, you don't have to learn some of the rules of Rausch."

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has been fortunate to see the demeanor of several maids, all of them are polite and polite, and the manners are thousands, and the slave and maid can't reach it, if they become masters and girls stand together, and even the most basic etiquette will not be, the slave and maid will really laugh and be generous. And it's okay for the slave to be ashamed and laugh, if the emperor is disgraced because of the slave, it is really the slave's sin. Ansu said as she glanced at Mama Qin, begging her to help her say a few words.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what our palace maids teach are the most basic rules, and it's good to learn them." Mama Qin really opened her mouth to help, but she stopped at the point and didn't say much.

"Then learn from the palace maid on weekdays, and come to Weiyang Palace to serve at night."

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the sisters of the palace maids will definitely treat the slaves and maids as masters, and they will no longer be as close to each other as before." Ansu found an excuse again, and wiped her eyes for the sake of truth.

Seeing her like this, Liu Ying couldn't insist anymore, so she asked An Su, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid Shangguan Ansu."

"Shangguan Ansu, that's good." Liu Ying nodded, and then turned to Mama Qin, "I will take care of An Su Haosheng in the palace maid's house, and I will have your reward in the future." ”

"No."

After Liu Ying drove the sheep cart away, everyone dared to stand up tremblingly. No matter how noisy these palace maids are on weekdays, when they suddenly see the emperor, they are so frightened that they can't say a word. An Su looked at the direction of Liu Ying's departure and frowned, it was not her intention to enter the palace, and now she is sinking deeper and deeper into this quagmire, but what should I do?

Back at the palace maid's office, An Su was still distressed, and Chu Ruo was a little proud. Everyone used to be on her side because Ansu was liked by Mama Qin, but now that she is favored by the emperor, it always shows that Ansu is good.

"Sister Shangguan, you are about to become the master, why are you still depressed?" When Chu Ruo returned to the bedroom, he finally found Ansu's emotions.

"Chu Ruo, do you think it's better to be the master in the palace, or to be a palace maid?" An Su suddenly asked.

"Of course, it's better to be the master." Chu Ruo almost blurted out, "Being a palace maid is called every day, and you have to kneel down and salute at every turn, and if you accidentally make a mistake, you will be punished by the master." If you are the master, you don't have to do any work every day, and you can eat whatever you want. ”

"But as a master, there is a higher-status master above, and when you meet a high-ranking concubine, you have to kneel down and salute. As a palace maid, you can leave the palace when you are old, but as a master, you will have to be trapped in this palace for the rest of your life. An Su thought of Xu Meiren who was troubled, Hu Bazi who didn't know who was harmed, and the depressed queen.

"With the qualifications of the above official sister, she will definitely be able to please the emperor, and she may be able to be a lady one day! When the time comes, you will be angry, you just need to listen to the words of the emperor, the queen and the queen mother. Chu Ruo's thoughts were always so cute, and An Su was amused by her again.

"Ansu, Mama Qin asked you to come over." Zili pushed the door in, and An Su looked at it and hurried to Mama Qin. At this time, Mama Qin asked her to go over, it must be for the emperor to pamper her.

When she arrived at the door of Mama Qin's room, An Su stayed for a moment and thought about today's events in her mind before knocking on the door gently.

"What are you going to do?" As soon as An Su entered, Mama Qin asked bluntly.

An Su was not ambiguous, and knelt down directly in front of Mama Qin: "Ask Mama to think of a way to help the slave and maid avoid favor." ”

Mama Qin helped An Su up: "You really don't want to be the emperor's concubine?" ”

"Mama has been in the palace for many years, and she must have been used to seeing the concubines competing for favor and jealousy, if she becomes the emperor's concubine, how can the slaves and maids be alone." An Su lowered her eyes, "What's more, not long after the slave maid first entered the palace, she saw the tragic death of Hu Bazi and her maidservant, and she really didn't want to fight in the palace for the rest of her life." Ask Mama to be fulfilled. ”

"From the day you entered the palace, I knew that you had an idea, and Mama was willing to help you." Mama Qin sighed, "It's just that this method of avoiding favor doesn't work, it depends on your own creation." ”

"What can Mama do?" An Su's face finally had some joy.

Mama Qin glanced out of the window a few times, and said in a low voice: "The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and the queen mother has been listening to politics for many years. I heard that although the emperor has the intention of regaining power, the queen mother is strong, and the emperor can only be afraid everywhere. If you can go to the Empress Dowager's palace to serve after your training at the palace maid's house, the emperor will definitely not go to Changle Palace to serve as an important person. ”

"That's really good, it's just that I just listened to Mama's meaning, it seems that it is not easy to enter Changle Palace?"

"You're so smart." Mama Qin nodded, "The Changle Palace is full of old people who have been with the Queen Mother for many years, and the Queen Mother is suspicious, and she will not add new people to the past." But we still have to do errands, so every year there are newcomers dialed over, but every few days pass, they are sent out by Changle Palace. ”

"That's why Mama just said that she wanted to see the slave's own creation, that is, she told the slave and maid that she had to keep her own ideas in Changle Palace, otherwise there would be no other way." Ansu's brow furrowed slightly.

Mama Qin patted An Su's shoulder: "Mama can only help you get here." ”

"Thank you, Mama."
