Combing through the clues all the way, An Su soon returned to Huanning Palace. The busy figures in the hall began to gradually become idle, it was getting late, and the night banquet was about to begin. Today, except for the big palace maids around the palace masters who want to accompany them to the banquet, everyone else can rest early.

An Su rushed all the way into the main hall, and there was no figure of Xu Meiren and Mo Shang. At this time, they should have already left for Xingyue Terrace. But in this way, Mo Shang has already found clothes for Xu Meiren to wear for the banquet, and An Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our mother's clothes are so beautiful today! It will definitely be able to amaze the audience and make the emperor unforgettable. ”

"Yes, I don't know what the clothes are made of, and the light shines on it, but it is beautiful."

"I don't know where Sister Moshang found such good clothes, which are much more beautiful than the previous one!"

An Su listened to the two little palace maids outside, you and I were talking one by one, and she was a little curious in her heart, and went out to ask them clearly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Sister Ansu, are you back?" One of the little palace maids replied, "We are talking about Niangniang's clothes today, pure white and flawless, and they can still radiate light, which is really beautiful." ”

"Where did you find that garment?"

"We don't know the specifics, but I heard that it was a eunuch who was born in front of him and sent it to Huanning Palace, saying that there was a noble person to help Niangniang in emergency." After the little palace maid finished speaking, she turned her head to ask her companion for support, and when she saw the other little palace maid nodding, she continued, "Sister Moshang didn't want to give the mother something for unknown purposes, but she really couldn't find suitable clothes, so she finally wore it. ”

Listening to their descriptions, Ansu always felt that this dress was very familiar. She recalled carefully, she went to the internal bureau yesterday to get the pearl hairpin back, and the little palace maid she bumped into was holding it in her hand, wasn't it the same as what they described?

Yesterday, the direction where the palace maid went was not where the concubines lived, An Su searched the directions of the east and west six palaces in her mind, and suddenly realized that the palace maid was going to Changle Palace! In other words, yesterday's clothes were prepared for the Queen Mother. If Xu Meiren appeared at the night banquet wearing the same clothes as the Queen Mother, you can imagine what the consequences would be.

An Su was shocked, and hurriedly asked the little palace maids which way Xu Meiren went, and rushed over desperately.

The evening wind was a little cold, and Ansu ran as fast as she could, the sweat on her back already soaking a large patch of clothing. But she knew that she couldn't slow down, and stopping Xu Meiren before she reached Xingyue Platform was the only thing she had to do now.

I don't know how many palace roads I have run, An Su finally saw Xu Meiren's sedan chair from a distance, she seemed to see the rising sun, and she could finally feel a trace of warmth. It's just that at this time he was out of breath and couldn't make too much noise to stop them. Ansu could only continue to run forward desperately, and finally stopped in front of them at the next corner.

"Mother, you can't go! Don't go! As soon as she saw An Su's hair in a messy bun and sweating profusely in front of the sedan chair, Xu Meiren thought that she had been assassinated, so she hurriedly got off the sedan chair after seeing it clearly, and helped An Su up with Mo Shang.

"How did you do this? If you want to participate in the night party, you don't have to rush here! Xu Meiren gently wiped her sweat for An Su, and said with a smile, "This palace has asked someone to leave you a message, so that you can come over quickly when you return to Huanning Palace, and you are really in a hurry." ”

"No, it's not, mother, you can't wear this dress, you can't wear it to the banquet!" Ansu was intermittent, and finally expressed his meaning clearly.

She looked up at Xu Meiren, this dress was really shocking when she wore it, like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, it was really beautiful. It's just that no matter how beautiful this dress is, it can't be worn to the Queen Mother.

An Su gasped and told Xu Meiren about the cause and effect of the matter, and her face suddenly lost blood, and Mo Shang was the same. Everyone knows how serious the consequences will be if you wear the same clothes as the Queen Mother at the night banquet.

"Niangniang, it's all the slave's fault, the slave shouldn't have put it on the maid without permission because she saw that this dress looked good." Mo Shang knelt down in remorse.

"It's not your fault, you just want to help Hongu in an emergency." Xu Meiren helped Mo Sheng up, "It's just that there is not much time left before the night banquet starts, and if you are late on this occasion, I am afraid that you will inevitably be punished." ”

"It's a dilemma, but ......," An Su looked up, "Does Niang Niang have any clothes that can be replaced?" ”

Mo Shang blamed herself again: "I had already helped my mother change her clothes, but I saw that this body was too beautiful, so I changed it again." Knowing this, I really can't ask for clothes from unknown sources. ”

"Weighing the pros and cons, Niangniang should hurry back to the palace and change her clothes and come back!" An Su analyzed, "It's better to be late than to make the Queen Mother angry." ”

"Ansu is right, Bengong will go back and change."

Xu Meiren was about to order the sedan chair to go back, when An Su suddenly caught a glimpse of a person walking on the palace road next to her. She was holding a basin of steaming water in her hand, which looked a little hot, probably one of the ladies at the night banquet who wanted to clean her hands at any time.

The palace maid walked forward for a distance, and An Su could see her face clearly through the light, it was Chunhan, the personal maid beside Mrs. Emei. Originally, I thought that if I used this palace maid to help Xu Meiren solve the current urgency, I would be a little sorry for her, but this person turned out to be Chunhan, so An Su had no psychological burden.

"Niangniang, don't rush back yet, the slave has an idea to let you be late without being punished." An Su attached to Xu Meiren and asked quietly, "It's just that this method may make Niangniang get burned, but trying to think about scalding is easier than the Queen Mother's punishment, is Niangniang willing?" ”

Xu Meiren nodded without hesitation: "Bengong believes in you, tell Bengong what to do!" ”

An Su whispered beside Xu Meiren for a while, and under Xu Meiren's orders, the group quietly hid in the alley on the side, just waiting for Chun Han to approach completely with hot water.

Xu Meiren stared closely at the figure of Chun Han outside, and as soon as she came over, she rushed out according to the prepared in advance, and directly pretended to be full of arms with her. Chun Han was carefully holding the boiling water in his hand, this time the hit was very heavy, Chun Han's center of gravity was unstable, and the basin of boiling water also spilled out, half of which fell on Xu Meiren's hand and half on Chunhan's leg.

"Ahh It hurts! My hands hurt so much! Xu Meiren was not a noisy person, but in order to succeed in the plan, she still called out loudly according to what Ansu taught.

Chun Han was burned even more, but when he heard Xu Meiren's voice, he didn't dare to call out a word. She looked at the so many people who jumped out of nowhere in front of her in a panic, although the alley was very dark, she could barely recognize that it was Xu Meiren who was put with her.

"Chunhan, although you are the big palace maid next to Mrs. Emei, and your status is more noble than that of ordinary slaves, but you are also a slave after all. Xu Ji Niangniang is the master, how dare you splash water on Niangniang?! Mo Shang scolded loudly while supporting Xu Meiren.

"Xu Ji Niangniang is angry, the slave didn't mean it, the slave and the maid walked well, you suddenly walked out, the slave and the maid are really unavoidable!" Chunhan hurriedly knelt down to defend himself.

"You are bold! It's clear that you bumped into Xu Ji Niangniang, and you dare to climb around, framing this matter is Niangniang's fault! An Su reprimanded appropriately, "Everyone here sees that you bumped into Niangniang, even if this matter is in front of Liu Ji Niangniang, you can't escape the blame." ”

"It hurts." Xu Meiren shouted again.

An Su hurriedly answered: "Sister Moshang, now let's hurry up and help Niangniang go back, and call the imperial doctor over to take a look!" At the night banquet, I went to report the matter to the emperor and the queen mother, and asked them to allow the mother to arrive later. ”

"Okay, quickly help the mother into the sedan chair." Mo Shang commanded everyone to take Xu Meiren back to the palace.

An Su slowly walked to Chunhan, who was pressing the wound, and looked at her condescendingly: "Sister Chunhan, let's go to the night banquet together!" ”

When it came to the night banquet, it was just as Ansu thought. Liu Ying heard that Xu Meiren was injured, so she couldn't care about the truth, so she severely punished Chunhan on the spot. If it weren't for Mrs. Emei's help in interceding, it would have been even worse.

An Su knew early on that in this deep palace, the truth was the least important thing, and as long as he had a heart, he could distort it at will. And those who sit in high positions don't care about this, if the master and the slave are more energetic, it will definitely be the fault of the slave. What's more, Xu Meiren is getting the favor of the saint, and Chun Han can be said to have hit the muzzle of the gun.

This incident successfully won sympathy for Xu Meiren, even if it was late, the emperor, the queen mother, and everyone at the banquet did not say a word again because they saw the scars on her hands. Mrs. Emei only glared at Xu Meiren fiercely, and didn't dare to say anything else.

"Ansu, thank you so much today." Xu Meiren glanced at the Queen Mother's clothes that were exactly the same as hers, and said, "If it weren't for you, this palace would definitely die today without a place to be buried." ”

An Su understood the meaning of this sentence, she had heard it when she was on an errand in Changle Palace, and the Queen Mother would not allow others to have half a resemblance to her clothing style. Today, the Queen Mother is wearing white clothes, and none of the concubines at the banquet have touched the white, although they are cautiously exaggerated, but they can also know the Queen Mother's attitude towards this matter.

Halfway through the night banquet, the Queen Mother suddenly raised her glass: "Although it is called a family banquet today, it is not an ordinary family banquet at all, and it is also to wash the dust for an envoy of a fiefdom." The messenger was waiting outside the door, and the mourners called him to him. ”

A summons came out of the door, and two men walked in one after the other, and the one in front should be the envoy mentioned by the Queen Mother. The one who followed behind was dressed in an alien costume and looked like he was going to perform, and An Su stared at him with great interest.
