Chapter 176: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (Middle)

After a burst of laughter, Mu Qingfeng led the two of them to detour through a side door of the Fengluan Palace, and walked forward with his head held high alone, no longer paying attention to the two who continued to play behind him, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper.

"The third prince is here, and the maid will go to the mother's house for the prince to spread the word." Hongyu had been waiting outside the door, and when she saw Mu Qingfengsan, she immediately went to ask for a message.

"There's Aunt Lao Hongyu." Mu Qingfeng has been taken care of by Hongyu since he was a child, and he also has some respect for Hongyu.

A moment later, Ruby went out and invited the three of them into the house.

Shen Mei naturally came here, but at that time, the queen left her in the harem because she won the little princess's smile, and now the queen can't tolerate her because of her relationship with Mu Qingfeng.

The queen sat in the center of the hall, and saw that the visitor was still smiling with a bit of dignity and dignity as usual.

"The breeze greets the queen mother, and I wish the queen mother all the blessings and peace."

"I wish the queen a blessing to the queen, and I wish the queen a thousand blessings."

followed by Shen Mei, "Shen Mei greets the queen's mother, and wishes the mother a thousand blessings and peace." ”

The three of them saluted together.

"Good boy, get up."

"Today's dinner, this palace is very much looking forward to what kind of surprise our rose fairy will bring us." The queen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Shen Mei expectantly.

"Shen Mei will live up to her mother's love." Shen Mei knew that she didn't know how many people would be waiting to see the joke tonight, and the best counterattack was to let them not see the joke.

"Today's lunch, you three will stay." These words were said to Mu Qingfeng and Mu Xizhi. Because Shen Mei could feel the kindness of the queen when she looked at the man beside her.

"Thank you Niangniang, Shen Mei still has important things to deal with, so I won't stay, and I hope Niangniang won't blame." Shen Mei got up and blessed the noble woman.

"Well, since Mei'er has something important to do, then the palace won't keep you."

"Shen Mei retired first." With that, he got up and wanted to go.

"The queen mother, the sons and daughters also have important things to do, so it is inconvenient to stay longer." Mu Qingfeng saw that Shen Mei was about to retreat, so he hurriedly got up. I didn't forget to give Mu Xizhi a look beside me.

"Yes, yes, Queen Mother, Xizhi and the third brother still have a lot of things to do." Mu Xizhi also stood up.

"You're so busy that you don't even have time to eat? Forget it, you guys go, just remember not to be late for dinner. Seeing that the three of them were the same, the queen simply waved her hand.

"Let's all retreat."

"Thank you, Queen Huang."

He turned and left.

"You two, why do you want to come out with me, don't you see that the queen mother is a little angry, or do you mean Mu Qingfeng." Shen Mei glared at Mu Qingfeng, only feeling that because of this matter, the queen must be disgusted with her again.

"You can think about it. I did come out with something important. Mu Qingfeng had a cold face.

When the three of them came out of the Fengluan Palace, they saw Xiao Tao waiting outside the door. Xiao Tao saluted respectfully to the visitor, and then quietly followed Shen Mei's side.

"Then I'll get busy first." Shen Mei didn't look at Mu Qingfeng, but greeted Mu Xizhi, led Xiao Tao and left. Seeing this, Mu Xizhi smiled.

"Sister Mei, you and the third prince are having trouble again." Xiao Tao sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere.

Shen Mei glanced at Xiao Tao, revealing a look of helplessness, just now it was obviously Mu Qingfeng who messed up the atmosphere by himself. After experiencing this morning's events, Shen Mei's sleepiness was really gone.

"By the way, you don't have to forget what I told you before." Shen Mei told Xiao Tao to pick up Master Gao's affairs.

"Sister Mei, don't worry, how dare Xiao Tao forget about this matter."

At about the same time, Shen Mei was going to go out of the palace, and took a few little eunuchs in the palace to the firecracker workshop to transport the fireworks to be used at night into the palace.

But what Shen Mei didn't expect was that when she arrived at the firecracker workshop, she pushed open the room where the fireworks were stored before, only to see that the fireworks in the house had been destroyed, and the fireworks that were originally assembled with bamboo tubes were now all scattered into a pile, and even the bamboo tubes were split with an axe, and it was a mess.

A trace of anger flashed in Shen Mei's eyes, this is the fireworks she has prepared for a long time, and now she doesn't know who wants to destroy her intentions.

"Miss Shen, this... This." The little eunuch who accompanied him showed a panicked look on his face, only to feel that this was not good.

Shen Mei didn't speak, turned around and ran out of the door.

"Manager Li, do you still have the materials for firecrackers?" Shen Mei ran to find the steward Li of the firecracker workshop, when she made fireworks before, it was Manager Li who helped her distribute the raw materials for making firecrackers, whether it was because of the prince Mu Lingxuan's sake, now Shen Mei just wants to quickly find a way to get the fireworks out, if there are no fireworks, this dinner will not have the effect she wants, and even all the promises in front of the queen before have become a joke, she Shen Mei does not want to become a joke in the eyes of others.

"Miss Shen, what's wrong." Manager Li looked at Shen Mei's serious and anxious expression, and sensed that something bad had happened.

"The fireworks we made earlier were destroyed." Shen Mei said lightly.

I saw Steward Li frowning. "How could such a thing be?"

Steward Li hurriedly walked to the warehouse where the fireworks were stored to check, and several little eunuchs in front of the door saw that the people were in a hurry, and turned sideways to make way.

"How good is this, the prince told her to help Miss Shen watch the fireworks well, and she was ruined by thieves under the nose of the old man." Steward Li was afraid that the prince would know about this matter, and if the prince blamed him, what would he do.

"The matter has come to this point, I can only find a way to make up for it, I don't know if there is still a powder for preparing fireworks in the workshop." Shen Mei wanted to come up with a way quickly.

"Huh... Yesterday I just pulled a batch of made firecrackers out, this is not today's Chinese New Year's Eve, at night, every household in this street and alley is going to set off firecrackers to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Even if there are some left, there is no way to make fireworks. Steward Li said worriedly.

Shen Mei pondered for a moment and said, "Manager Li might as well transport the remaining medicinal powder, and make as much as you want." “

Seeing that Shen Mei was so determined, Steward Li called a few people to go to the warehouse where the medicinal powder was stored together.

There are only three buckets of medicinal powder that can be used to make fireworks, Shen Mei didn't say a word, rolled up her sleeves and began to pour out the medicinal powder with a bucket, and began to make fireworks according to the previous production ratio.

A group of people began to methodically recreate the fireworks, and they were bound to get out.

According to Shen Mei's estimate, five fireworks can be made, although the number of fireworks made before is indeed much less, but... Shen Mei looked at the pile of fireworks that had been destroyed.
