Chapter 6 Gloom and Ice
Thinking about her younger brother, Ansu barely fell asleep until late at night, and not long after she slept for a long time, she heard the sound of a rooster crowing. At the right time, Mama Qin also came to wake them up early in the morning. They are all children of ordinary families, they have never learned any rules, and they have to be taught from scratch when they come to the palace.
Today's task has always been the favorite of the new family members entering the palace, which is to visit the palaces. Speaking of a tour, in fact, they need to remember the location of each palace and who lives in it within this day. In the future, if something goes wrong with the masters, they will be punished.
Mama Qin took them to start the tour from the East Sixth Palace early in the morning, and explained to them the residence of the masters.
"Mama, Mrs. Luoyan, who brought us shortbread yesterday, does she also live here?" Someone in the crowd asked.
Although Mama Qin disliked their chatter, she was still quite happy to answer their questions. First, it is to let them know more about the situation in the palace and avoid making mistakes in the future, and secondly, it is also to show their profound qualifications.
"Mrs. Luoyan's Zhaoyang Hall has to go a little further." Mama Qin pointed to a palace in front of her.
"Is Mrs. Luoyan the emperor's favorite concubine?"
"How dare we speculate on the emperor's holy will." Mama Qin glanced at the questioning family members, and then continued, "However, in terms of position, above Mrs. Luoyan, there are two more Queen Mothers and Mrs. Emei, and there is also a Mrs. Qi who is also in the position of Mrs. Qi, but it is not as titled as Mrs. Emei and Mrs. Luoyan, so it is ranked lower." ”
"Mama, why don't you tell us about the concubines in the palace!" The little girls love to listen to these when they enter the palace, and Mama Qin has been used to it for so many years, so she came with them one by one.
"The emperor has just ascended the throne, there are not many concubines, at present, there are queens, Mrs. Emei, Mrs. Luoyan, Mrs. Qi, and a Hu Bazi. Recently, the emperor has newly accepted a Xu beauty, and she is also very favored. In addition, there are Zhu Meiren, Qian Liangren, Wu Shao Envoy and so on. Among them, Mrs. Emei, Hu Bazi and Xu Meiren are the most accompanied. ”
"What about the Queen?"
"The queen is young, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, and the emperor doesn't often summon her." Mama Qin's answer was ambiguous.
I didn't know each other and asked: "I heard that the queen mother is the emperor's niece, is it true?" It's not a mess......"
"Presumptuous!" Mama Qin interrupted her words with an angry scolding, "How dare the queen dare to talk about it, so you don't know whether to live or die, be careful to go back and get the board!" ”
After being reprimanded, everyone didn't dare to say anything more, but silently walked forward with the pace of Mama Qin, seeing that the master saluted again. When I walked to the middle gate corridor, I saw a group of people walking over, it seemed to be some eunuchs, but they were a little different from other eunuchs, and they seemed to have a higher status. The leader didn't look very good, and he had to cough a few times when he took two steps.
When passing by them, Ansu lowered his head according to the rules, and suddenly saw an untimely foot sticking out in front of him. If he continued to walk forward, Bo Chu beside him would definitely trip. An Su was about to give a reminder, but the team stopped suddenly, it was too late.
Bo Churuo really tripped over that foot, and rushed forward with inertia, just hitting the eunuch who was the leader. Caught off guard, the eunuch was thrown to the ground and fell very badly.
An Su followed the evil foot and looked up, and saw Jiang Qingran's gloating face. An Su knew that people's hearts can be extremely evil, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.
"You are so bold, you dare to collide with Manager Ni, what crime should you be guilty of!" A eunuch who was standing a little later hurriedly helped the person up, and kicked at Bo Churuo's calf, "! ”
An Su's brows trembled, the bullying within the walls of this palace had reached such a point, if Bo Chu was attacked on both sides this time, I don't know if she would have a way to get out.
"Ni, Mr. Ni, I was wrong, I will definitely not dare next time." If Bo Chu straightened up, he quickly kowtowed.
"Next time? Do you want to have a next time? Manager Ni patted the dust on his body, and pointed at Bo Churuo with the dust, "Today's family is worse than the next, and any kind of crooked melon and cracked date can be summoned into the palace!" ”
"Then Mr. Ni, what do you think this girl should do?" Mama Qin glanced at Bo Churuo, ignoring her eyes asking for help.
"Eighty canes and thrown out of the palace." Manager Ni shook off the dust, and two people came forward to catch Bo Churuo.
The rest of the family were also trembling, and they were even more afraid that the next one would harm them, and some even took two steps back, just hoping to stay away from Bo Churuo and draw a line with her. Mama Qin frowned, her lips moved, but she still couldn't speak.
"I was wrong, Mr. Ni, I was wrong, don't ...... Help me, which of you will save me? Bo Churuo's trembling voice drilled into his ears. An Su couldn't bear to look at her, this little girl with tears on her face, she happily held her a shortbread yesterday, and also called her Sister Shangguan sweetly.
"Wait!" Ansu finally couldn't help but stand up.
"What are you doing! Stand back! Mama Qin glared at An Su and kept glaring at her. Now that he has angered Mr. Ni, he can't add fuel to the fire.
"What do you ...... Ahem...... What's the matter? Mr. Ni looked impatient.
The slave maid saw that Mr. Ni's face was red and he was coughing, so he must have suffered from a cough disease. The slave and maid knew that the steward was working hard and often tired, so she wanted to offer the ancestral prescription to the steward. An Su took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it over, "This recipe can not only cure cough disease, but also eliminate fatigue and strengthen the body. ”
Chief Ni took the handkerchief suspiciously, showed it to the eunuch beside him, and after he nodded, his face gradually eased.
"You've got a mind. Say, what do you want? ”
An Su glanced at Bo Churuo, who was kneeling beside him, and said softly: "When the slave's little sister first arrived in the palace, she had never seen such a majestic person as the chief manager. ”
Manager Ni stared at An Su for a long time, and when everyone's hearts were raised, he actually smiled. Manager Ni pointed at An Su with a whisk and said to Mama Qin: "This girl is not bad, you can mention it well." ”
After speaking, he squinted at Bo Churuo, who was still kneeling: "Our family will spare you this time, go back and learn from your sister." ”
Bo Churuo responded again and again, kowtowed a few more times, and walked away from the ghost gate, her clothes were already soaked with sweat. It was only when Manager Ni and his party walked away that she dared to stand up slowly.
"Chu Ruo, are you okay?" Ansu helped her. Everyone else was still standing far away, for fear of being contaminated with Bo Churuo's bad luck. But Mama Qin came over and took a hand, but she said stiffly: "Girl, don't blame Mama, we are all in charge of Mr. Ni here, and whoever offends him will have no good fruit to eat." ”
Seeing that Bo Chu didn't dare to answer, An Su helped: "Don't blame Mama, everyone in this palace has worked a lot of hard to survive, and if you can help, you can help, if you can't help, you will put yourself in, wouldn't it be worse?" ”
The recognition in Mama Qin's eyes flashed: "Oh? In that case, why are you helping? ”
"Naturally, there is a certainty that you can help." Ansu raised her eyes and smiled.
Mama Qin also smiled back at her: "That's very good." Go back to the group! ”
Bo Churuo was kicked and injured his leg, so he could only be helped by An Su, and when he passed by Jiang Qingran, An Su stopped. She stared at Jiang Qingran for a long time, and finally spit out four words with an expressionless face: "Don't take it as an example." ”
Everything in the team returned to normal, except for Bo Churuo, who was supported by An Su and walked at the back of the team. It's better to be caught in the middle of the line, and you have to worry about being plotted all the time.
"Sister Shangguan, thank you for saving me just now, you are really amazing." Bo Churuo walked a long way before he slowly eased up, and his mind was no longer a mess.
"Churuo, be careful in the future."
"Well, I'll definitely pay attention to it later." Bo Churuo nodded vigorously in assurance, and after a while, he quietly asked, "Sister Shangguan, do you know how to heal?" Do you even have a prescription with you? Is that really that magical? ”
An Su knew that she would ask, so she shook her head truthfully: "No, that's just the most ordinary wind and cold medicine." My brother was not in good health when he was young, so he asked the doctor to prescribe this medicine, which happened to be written down on a handkerchief, so that he could go directly to grab the medicine when needed. ”
"What?! Then, if Manager Ni finds out, will he ......? Bo Churuo suddenly became nervous again.
"Don't worry! Mr. Ni's cough is just caused by the change of weather, even if he does not use medicine, it will get better on his own in a few days. An Su smiled slyly, "The medicinal materials on the prescription are fine, if it weren't for the doctor, he wouldn't be able to see what disease he was treating." The imperial doctor in the palace can only heal the master, and if the chief Ni wants to catch the medicine, he can only ask someone to secretly go out of the palace to catch it, and naturally he will not be able to contact anyone who knows how to heal. ”
"But, Sister Shangguan, I'm still afraid." Bo Chu Ruoxu was frightened several times when he first entered the palace, and his courage became a little smaller.
"Don't be afraid, if you come, you will be safe." An Su's words seemed to comfort Bo Churuo, and seemed to be saying to herself.
After a day of walking in the palace, everyone was so tired that they went to bed almost as soon as it was time to go to bed. But there are still a few exceptions, Jiang Qingran and Zhou Meihong not only didn't sleep, but also pretended to talk, but their eyes glanced at An Su's side from time to time. An Su noticed this detail as soon as he entered the door, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and these two must be planning something.
Ansu didn't go to bed first, and sat at the table to observe their movements. However, Bo Churuo saw An Su come in and helped her make the bed.
"Sister Shangguan, the bed has been made, come here...... Yes!! Halfway through his words, Bo Churuo screamed, as if there was something terrifying under the bed.
