The two of them had their own thoughts, and without saying much, An Sufu climbed up the window and jumped back into the house with the silent help of Gu Wenzhou. I used to be hungry and poor, but now I have enough to eat, but I am sleepy. Ansu paced around the room, just to dissipate his food.

The next morning, the eunuch who was responsible for waking up naturally went to the residence on the side of the west side of the hall first, and when he arrived at the east side hall, An Su was already late. Such a good opportunity, after all, was seized by Mama Hu and punished again. Today is not the work of cleaning the yard, but asking An Su to dry the changes of clothes of all the palace people in Changle Palace. Compared to yesterday, this errand is a little easier.

The place where the clothes are dried is near the main hall of Changle Palace, that is, where the Queen Mother often stays, and when she works next to it, you can even hear the sound of talking in the palace.

An Su hung it for a while, and his neck and arms were sore, before he thought about resting for a while. So I found a place to sit down, right next to the main hall, and I could smell the sandalwood incense wafting from the hall. But sitting and sitting, where his eyes drifted, a eunuch rushed in, and then he heard the sound of Songhe.

"I've been with the Queen Mother for a long time, and I'm still doing things in a hurry, and I don't have any calmness."

The eunuch fell to the ground and kowtowed, and then said: "Mama Songhe, it's not that the slave is unstable, it's really this matter that is very urgent!" ”

"What's the matter? Let's hear it. The Queen Mother's lazy voice also came, sounding like she had just woken up.

"It's that there are cockroaches in the palace near the Shenshui Pavilion, and they can't be driven clean, and the palace people are deeply affected, so they can't do anything, so they came to report to the Queen Mother."

"There are cockroaches in the harem, isn't this kind of thing for the queen to take care of? Why did you report to the Queen Mother here? Songhe asked.

The eunuch was embarrassed: "I have already been to the Jiaofang Palace, but when the pear heart next to the queen mother heard that this was the case, she went in and turned out, and said that the queen mother was sick, and it was not appropriate to work for these little things, let us watch and do it ourselves!" ”

"Yan'er is such a character, it's just that, as long as she can take care of her body and give birth to the emperor's eldest son as soon as possible, these are all trivial things." The Queen Mother turned to the eunuch and instructed, "Just send some insect repellent powder to all the palaces where there are cockroaches." ”

"Queen Mother, I've tried this insect repellent powder, and it won't work much if you use it too much."

"It's a small thing, but it's a little harder." The Queen Mother's fingertips tapped on the table.

The hall fell silent all of a sudden, so the sound of An Su getting up was much more obvious. When the Queen Mother was thinking, she didn't like to be disturbed, and suddenly heard a noise outside, even if it was not loud, it was enough to make her irritable.

"Who's out there?" This sonorous sound smashed into An Su's heart, and she sighed silently, knowing that she couldn't avoid this again.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave and maid Shangguan Ansu are drying their clothes outside." An Su replied through the wall.

I didn't hear the voice of the Queen Mother for a while, and An Su was thinking about whether to continue working, when a voice finally came from inside: "You come in." ”

An Su's brows trembled, so he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and kneel side by side with the eunuch.

"You're just outside, you should hear the voices inside, right?" The Queen Mother asked casually, "What do you think is the best way to deal with this?" ”

An Su didn't expect the Queen Mother to throw this tricky question to herself, but she didn't panic at all, and the way to deal with cockroaches had been thoroughly studied when she was at home in Qinghe County.

"Queen Mother, according to what the slave and maid see, if you can't expel it, it's better to do the opposite." An Su looked at the Queen Mother's exploratory eyes and continued to explain, "Those cockroaches are obviously born from the Shenshui Pavilion, if you sprinkle insect repellent powder on each palace, the cockroaches will run around, hiding the harm of insect repellent powder in an orderly manner, and making the palace ineffective." However, if you place the earth incense oil that attracts cockroaches in the Shenshui Pavilion, you can attract all the cockroaches in the surrounding palace to the Shenshui Pavilion. ”

"Concentrate on destroying in the Sinking Water Pavilion again, that's what you mean?" The Queen Mother answered.

An Su nodded: "The Queen Mother is wise, and the slave maid is exactly like this." ”

"Well, since it's your solution, it's up to you to send the earth sesame oil to the Shenshui Pavilion." The Queen Mother gave Songhe a look, "The mourning family remembers that there are still some sealed sesame oil in the apse, you go and take it out and give it to her." ”

"No." An Su responded, and was about to go with Songhe to get sesame oil, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"There's one more thing for you to do." The Queen Mother took out a large box of spices from the cabinet next to her, "This is the spice given by the mourning family to the concubines of the palaces, except for the queen who doesn't like these, all palaces must send them." ”

An Su took the spices, and Songhe also happened to take out the sesame oil and hand it to her, and the queen mother said: "You go and send the spices to the palaces first, and then deal with the affairs of the Shenshui Pavilion." If the cockroaches in the palace of tomorrow are not finished, you are the only one who asks. ”

"No." An Su walked out with the eunuch who came to report the news, and asked him to find a few people to go to the Shenshui Pavilion later, and then stepped up to deliver spices.

Because I am already familiar with the location of each palace in the palace maid's office, it is quite easy to send things. An Su adjusted the order and sent them one by one according to the shortest route, the other palace Niangniang didn't know her, and the spices were sent to leave. When he arrived at Huanning Palace, An Su was left to accompany Xu Meiren to have some refreshments, but he was worried that he still had something to do, so he didn't dare to stay too long, so he thanked Xu Meiren and hurried to the next place.

The last one to be sent is the Phi Xiang Hall of Mrs. Emei. This made An Su difficult, last time in the palace maid's office, she designed Mrs. Emei to mistake Jiang Qingran for her and punished her, but later she couldn't bear to go out to save people, which completely offended Mrs. Emei. At that time, she couldn't deal with An Su anymore, but now that she sent it to the door, she must not be able to escape.

An Su stayed at the door of the Phi Xiang Hall for a while, thinking about the Queen Mother's orders, this spice had to be sent, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't find any good way. Seeing that if it was delayed any longer, it would be a missed hour, so An Su had no choice but to walk in. She lifted the spice above her head, and lowered her head, hoping that Madame Emei would not see her face.

"This sister, the slave maid was ordered by the Queen Mother to send spices to Liu Ji Niangniang, please pass it on." An Su found someone at the door of the temple and said.

She hung her head so low that she couldn't see the person in front of her at all, only glimpses of some pure white hems. But something seemed wrong, An Su frowned, although disturbed by the spice in his hand, he could still vaguely smell a familiar fragrance. The taste of this fragrance is different from the richness of the spices in his hand, and it gives people a sense of freshness, An Su raised his eyes in astonishment, and the person in front of him also opened his mouth at the same time.

"Ansu, why are you here?" Gu Wenzhou had just walked out of the Phi Xiang Hall at this time.

"I came on the orders of the Queen Mother to deliver something to Mrs. Emei." An Su replied truthfully, and asked puzzledly, "But Wenzhou, how did you come out of the Phixiang Palace?" ”

"Just like you, I'm here to help deliver things." Gu Wenzhou smiled slightly, "I just talked to the emperor that Mrs. Emei's brother gave the emperor some jade coral, and the emperor wanted to send the Phi Xiang Hall to watch with Mrs. Emei." But several eunuchs and grandmothers around the emperor were not around, so I was ordered to bring them along the way. ”

"So that's the case, I actually recognized you as the little palace maid of the Phi Xiang Palace, what a sin." An Su thought in her heart, if any palace maid had such a posture, Mrs. Emei was afraid that she would not let her stay in the Phixiang Palace a long time ago, lest the emperor's mind be attracted.

"You go and come back quickly, I'll be waiting for you here, just stop by to talk when you go back."

"I'm afraid I can't go and come back quickly." An Su sighed, "I offended Mrs. Emei greatly when I was in the palace maid's house in the past, and today it falls into her hands, and if I don't be tossed by her, I will definitely not let people go easily." ”

Gu Wenzhou frowned, and raised his head after a moment: "You can go with confidence!" ”

Ansu only thought that he was relieved, and he didn't feel it, so he picked up the spice again, lowered his head and went inside. When he arrived in the palace, An Su realized that his luck was really not good, just in time for Mrs. Emei to get angry at the maidservant.

An Su stood in the corner and listened for a while, it seemed that the little palace maid who was carrying things was careless, and touched a small scratch on the jade coral that Gu Wenzhou had just sent over. This jade coral is the elder brother of Mrs. Emei, and the emperor personally ordered it to be sent to the Phixiang Palace, which is naturally very precious, and this little palace maid has indeed touched the mold.

"Niangniang, the slave didn't mean it, the slave didn't mean it!"

"I'm annoyed, gag her mouth in this palace, pull it down and beat it hard." Madame Emei waved her hand irritably, and the little palace maid's plea for mercy was stuffed into her throat, leaving only some intermittent whimpering.

An Su knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled his fist and stepped forward: "The slave has seen Liu Ji Niangniang, and Liu Ji Niangniang is extremely happy. ”

"Where did you come from? Don't dangle in front of the main palace, get out of here! Mrs. Emei was angry, and she was resentful when she saw everyone.

"Niangniang is angry, the slave maid is ordered by the Queen Mother to send spices to Niangniang." Ansu lowered her head and held the spice in her hand in front of Mrs. Emei.

"The Queen Mother sent it?" Hearing the name of the Queen Mother, Mrs. Emei eased up a little, and ordered Mozhu to present the spices, "The Queen Mother always likes to send some spices to the palaces, and the last palace has run out, and I was thinking about it, so I will send it over again." ”

"Yes, Niangniang, the Queen Mother has been thinking about you!" Mo Zhu looked at Mrs. Emei's face and flattered.

"The spice palace has accepted it, and the queen mother asked us not to go to Changle Palace to thank you, so you can thank the queen mother for the palace!" Madame Emei took the spice in her hand and played with it, as if she had not noticed Ansu at all. An Suzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Emei actually spoke again, "Wait, you stop!" ”

An Su was stunned, so she could only stop as she commanded. Mrs. Emei continued to ask in the back: "Look at your appearance, you don't look like a person serving in Changle Palace!" ”

"Niangniang, the palace maid sent to Changle Palace by the palace maid this year, the queen mother actually left one for the first time, I think it is her." Mo Zhu reminded on the side.

"This is fresh, the Queen Mother has not added new people to Changle Palace for many years." Mrs. Emei continued to instruct An Su, "You turn around and let this palace take a look, this palace wants to see what kind of person can enter the eyes of the queen mother." ”

An Su's heart felt as if something had exploded, as if the person who had fallen into the well had just climbed to the mouth of the well, and was dragged down by his legs. She took a deep breath and turned around slowly, but her head was still lowered, although she knew that this was useless, An Su still couldn't help but not want Mrs. Emei to see her face.

"Look up." Madame Emei really commanded.

"No." Ansu had no choice but to look up and meet her gaze.

"Are you...... Shangguan Ansu? Madame Emei undoubtedly called out Ansu's name, and it seemed that she was indeed very impressed. This is also normal, the palace maid who dares to play tricks with her openly, Shangguan Ansu still has one, and it is the only one so far.

"It's really an honor for a slave to remember the slave." An Su calmed down at the moment. Naturally, she didn't want to face Mrs. Emei, but when this was already the case, there was no need to be afraid.

"Okay, this palace was thinking about asking where you were, but you sent it to the door yourself." Madame Emei smiled dangerously, "It is indeed your honor that this palace remembers you." Mo Zhu, this palace maid is guilty, pull me out and beat me. ”

"Mother, you have to think about it." An Su preemptively said this sentence before Mozhu opened his mouth to call the eunuchs outside, "The slave maid is now a person in the Queen Mother's palace, and she has been protected by the Queen Mother. If the mother blames the slave and maid, I am afraid that the queen mother will not be too comfortable. ”

"Do you dare to take the queen to press the palace?" Madame Emei was even more angry.

An Su still said calmly: "The slave maid's words are to take the queen to suppress the mother, or to remind the mother of kindness, you must know it in your heart, you don't need the slave to say more." ”

"What a clever little mouth, no wonder it can coax the emperor to accept you as a concubine, and coax the queen mother to leave you in Changle Palace." Mrs. Emei gave Mo Zhu a look, and sneered at An Su again, "This palace has to blame you heavily today." ”

"If the mother still cares about her virtuous reputation, she shouldn't ...... Yes! Ansu continued to sort out the stakes for Mrs. Emei, and slapped her in the face. It seems that she really hates herself, and An Su thinks that it will be useless to continue, so she simply shuts up. With the identity of the palace maid of Changle Palace here, even if it is punished, it will not be punished too much, after all, she has to take care of the face of the Queen Mother, and she will endure it.

But when the eunuchs came in, a sinister smile crept up on Madame Emei's face, and she instructed the eunuchs: "Strip me of her clothes, gather everyone into the courtyard, and watch her be punished." ”
