When Xu Shu walked into the palace gate, he happened to run into the guards who came to report the news, saying that King Pingning's carriage had entered the city, and he would enter the palace in about half an hour!

It's really fast!

Xu Shu hurriedly rushed to the queen's bedroom, but learned that the queen went to the Dingtai Hall where today's banquet was held, so she rushed over again.

After I went, I found that in addition to the queen, Concubine Wen was also there, and she was busy saluting one by one, "I've seen the queen!" I've seen Concubine Wen! ”

Concubine Wen still looks elegant and smooth, "Miss Nine is polite!" As if he knew the doubts in Xu Shu's heart, he took the initiative to explain, "Prince Pingning is back, and the Queen Mother fainted under excitement, so let me help the Queen Mother!" ”

The queen said, "If it weren't for the help of Concubine Wen, the palace wouldn't have arranged everything so quickly!" ”

"The queen mother is polite, it is the queen mother who guides well!"

Although Xu Shu was a little surprised the moment she saw Concubine Wen, she understood in an instant that the reason why Concubine Wen appeared here was because Zhou Jin was not the only one who came back today, but also Zhou Jin's biological mother, Concubine Zhen.

In front of Concubine Zhen's biological mother, the status of Empress Dowager Fu's adoptive mother is somewhat embarrassing, especially in the past ten years, Concubine Zhen has been by Zhou Jin's side, but Empress Dowager Fu is pampered in the deep palace, in order to avoid such embarrassment, so Empress Dowager Fu also pulled Concubine Wen over, so that with Concubine Wen's foil, it can also ease the atmosphere.

"You're here just in time!" The queen beckoned Xu Shu to step forward, "King Pingning has been in Rouran for many years, and he may not be accustomed to Dayin's diet, so this palace has also prepared some dishes that Rouran people like today, but Rouran thinks that he eats more cattle and sheep, and the taste is fishy and heavy, you go and help the palace adjust some spices suitable for burning, not only can you suppress the fishy smell of this beef and mutton, but also can't smoke people who are drowsy!" ”

Xu Shu nodded, "Okay!" So he went down and prepared.

Concubine Wen looked at Xu Shu's back for a long time, and suddenly said, "It turns out that Miss Zheng Jiu is also good at perfumery!" ”

The queen's smile froze, and after a while, she regained her composure, "She has lived in the family temple for many years, and the temple is bitter, and she can only use incense to send her nostalgia!" ”

"I see!" Concubine Wen nodded meaningfully, and suddenly coughed, "The night is cool, the queen mother and concubine Rong Chen go to add some clothes!" ”

The queen nodded, "It's almost busy here, Ruoshu, send Concubine Wen for the palace!" ”

"There's Miss Lao Ruoshu!"

The queen's brows furrowed and wrinkled, it was she who lost her words, this Concubine Wen must have noticed something...... How can this be good, what if the concubine makes a tentative speech at the banquet later, embarrassing Xu Shu? For now, the only way to do this is not to give Concubine Wen any chance!

"Mama Yuan, you go to see Miss Jiu, if she mixes the spices, you will let the palace maid send them over, you take Miss Nine to the private treasury of the palace to pick up some things, and prepare to send them to Concubine Zhen!"

"Isn't it too late for Niang Niang to confess this matter and do it tomorrow? And there are so many things, I can't pick them all for a while...... "Didn't the queen summon Miss Nine into the palace to accompany her at the banquet?" Why do you instead send people to pick things?

"Go ahead! The palace changed its mind, and when the banquet was over, he asked people to send things directly to the palace with King Pingning and Concubine Zhen! The queen waved her hand and said no more.

Mama Yuan didn't dare to ask more questions when she heard this, so she hurriedly went to pass the word, Xu Shu also felt strange when she heard it, and when the things were almost selected, and most of the banquet was over, the queen called her over just to let her do this? This kind of thing doesn't even need to bother Mama Yuan, wouldn't it be good to let Ruoshu go? Why did he order her and Mama Yuan to go now?

"Did the queen confess anything?"

Mama Yuan shook her head, "Niangniang didn't tell anything else!" Now Niangniang asked Ruoshu to send Concubine Wen back, Miss Nine still hurriedly finished mixing incense, and went with the old slave to pick up something and go back to Dingtai Palace, Niangniang is there alone, the old slave is not at ease!! ”

"Concubine Wen went back?" Xu Shu was slightly surprised, "Didn't Concubine Wen attend the banquet in the evening?" "Concubine Wen is the only one among the concubines of the first emperor who is still in the palace, and she is quite active, most of the banquets in the palace have her figure, why did she leave before the banquet was opened today!

"Concubine Wen said that it was cool at night, so she had to go back and add some clothes!"

The temperature was moist and refreshing, although there was a breeze, but even a person like Xu Shu who was afraid of cold only felt cool and comfortable, and did not feel cold at all, and Xu Shu remembered that Concubine Wen was wearing a jacket when she met just now, how could it be cold? And even if you really feel cold, why don't you let the palace maid get it, and make a special trip by yourself?

Xu Shu frowned and thought about it, and when she saw the incense she had just mixed in her hand, her frowning brows suddenly couldn't let go.

"Mama sent this incense to the queen mother, and then stayed in the Dingtai Hall to serve the queen mother, the queen mother can't do without the mother! When Miss Ruoshu comes back, let Miss Ruoshu accompany me to pick up the things that are given to Concubine Zhen! ”

"Good!" After hesitating for a moment, Mama Yuan simply agreed, Xu Shu's proposal was exactly what she wanted.

After a while, Ruoshu really came, "Miss Nine, Mama Yuan asked the slave maid to go with you to pick things for Concubine Zhen, Mama Yuan has already given the list to the slave maid, just find out the things directly!" If it's fast, you'll be able to catch the feast! ”

Xu Shu nodded, "Then let's go!" By the way, did Concubine Wen tell you anything just now? ”

Ruoshu shook his head, "Concubine Wen didn't talk to the slave, and the slave sent Concubine Wen to Wenzao Palace and came back!" Concubine Wen also rewarded the slave with a handful of golden melon seeds! ”

Ruoshu spread out the purse, and there were about a dozen golden melon seeds lying in it, even in the palace, there were not many such generous shots!

"Concubine Wen is really generous!"

Ruoshu said with a smile, "Concubine Wen is the most kind, and she asked the slave and maid to go back along the way, but the queen mother ordered, and the slave and maid did not dare to go back without permission, and sent Concubine Wen to the palace gate, and Concubine Wen rewarded the slave and maid!" ”

Xu Shu's eyes flashed, "Yes!" Concubine Wen has a good relationship with everyone in the palace! Call a few little palace maids, go and pick up something, so as not to delay the queen's mother! ”

"Yes!"

Ruoshu took the list and instructed the palace maids to pick out everything and put it in a brocade box, and all Xu Shu had to do was look at it and didn't have to do anything, but when she got to the queen, it was her credit......

"Miss Nine, everything is ready!"

According to the list given by Mama Yuan, the things last time should have been considered a long time ago, so Xu Shu didn't think much about it, so she led Ruoshu and the things to the Dingtai Hall together.

At this hour, Zhou Jin should have entered the palace, and he should be meeting the emperor in the imperial study at this time, even if they don't want to meet, they have to meet......
