Gonggong Wan arched his hand upwards: "Lord Xia has won the award, thanks to the master's promotion." ”

An Sheng looked at him: "I've seen Gonggong Wan." ”

Gonggong Wan smiled: "The miscellaneous family is just an errand run with Concubine Niangniang, and on the order of Concubine Niangniang, I made a special trip to invite Miss Ansheng to go to the palace." ”

An Sheng was suddenly a little surprised: "Please me?" ”

Xia Yuanwai also showed a surprised look: "Is it to let the little girl go to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace for a while?" ”

Wan Gonggong shook his head and smiled more and more attentively: "Niangniang said that I would like to invite Miss Ansheng to work hard now, and I will attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace in the second half of the day." My mother is waiting in the palace. ”

An Sheng knew that Concubine Niangniang, and heard Qianzhou say that she was the concubine of the Dingguo Marquis's mansion, Yu Jingyun's sister-in-law, and the most favored concubine of the saint today.

It's just that she doesn't know her, and the two don't have any intersection, what did she invite herself into the palace for?

Is it a blessing or a curse?

An Sheng was a little at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

General Xia Yuan was suspicious: "Is my father-in-law saying that Concubine Niangniang wants to personally summon my family to live in peace?" ”

"Exactly."

"I don't know if Concubine Niangniang is invited, what are your orders?"

"It's not clear." Father-in-law Wan waved his hand and made an inviting gesture at An Sheng: "The master is still waiting, don't dare to delay, Miss An Sheng, please get in the car?" ”

Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, Wan Gonggong urged repeatedly, An Sheng knew that he couldn't disobey, so he could only hesitate to get into the carriage, and he was inevitably apprehensive.

Xia Yuanwai was sent to the gate. It's also inexplicable. I don't know what happened to Concubine Ansheng's past?

The carriage turned around and whipped away.

An Sheng sat in the carriage, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down.

The palace will inevitably give people a sense of timidity, and some people may yearn for it, such as Xia Ziwu, who is noisy and wants to see the palace as his capital to show off in the future. And Ansheng is afraid of it.

The first time he entered and exited the Hou Mansion, An Sheng, like Xia Ziwu, had a yearning and couldn't wait to see the prosperity and scenery inside these Gaomen mansions.

But now, after experiencing the changes outside Xia Yuan, and also seeing the disaster of Yu Lingsu in the Hou Mansion, she understands that in those majestic walls, there is a world. The person sitting at the top of the room inside has the power of life and death, and can easily play with human life in the palm of his hand. The people inside are involuntarily self-conscious, and they are still living trembling and walking on thin ice.

Behind the prosperity of those fine clothes and fine food, there are also suffocating rules, the higher the wall, the more stringent those rules, rules and regulations, are piled up with the blood and tears of countless people.

The most important of these is the Imperial Palace.

The masters of each palace in the palace all hold the power of life and death, and if they are not careful, they are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.

Although it is said that Concubine Niangniang is a person from the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, but the thoughts above are unfathomable, and who can say for sure?

It would be nice if Master was by his side, and he wouldn't be so worried. Leng Nanxian's indifference of Taishan collapsing forward and not being able to do it will always affect her. In her Xia Ansheng's heart, Leng Nanxian is omnipotent, as long as the master is there, there is no need to be afraid of anything.

I was worried all the way, and when I arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage stopped, and An Sheng got out of the carriage, followed behind the herald eunuch, and went directly into the palace.

Along the way, she lowered her head, did not dare to say more, did not dare to look around, and was cautious in her words and deeds.

Went straight into the palace where Concubine Niangniang lived, and An Sheng dared to raise his eyes and glance at the plaque on his head.

Pujia Palace.

I heard that Concubine Niangniang was extremely favored by the emperor in the harem, which was naturally stained with the light of the Marquis of Dingguo. The emperor relied on the Dingguo Prince's Mansion, and he was very much a metaphor for shocking clouds, so he naturally had to prefer some concubines.

I heard that the emperor has not been established for a long time, and Concubine Niangniang is undoubtedly one of the candidates for the future mother's ceremony.

The eunuch in front turned around and urged An Sheng: "Miss An Sheng, please inside?" ”

An Sheng bowed his head, hurriedly collected his thoughts, didn't dare to think about it anymore, followed behind the eunuch, and entered the Pujia Palace.

Entering the palace, it is naturally carved beams and painted buildings, piled up gold and jade, bead curtains and brocade tents, a faction of gold and splendor, extremely luxurious.

An Sheng didn't dare to look around, he was picked on the rules, his eyebrows were lowered, his head was lowered, he was rarely well-behaved.

The eunuch raised his hand at An Sheng: "Miss An Sheng, please sit down for a while, wait for the summons, there are distinguished guests in the Niangniang Hall now." ”

An Sheng thanked the eunuch for his bow, sat down sideways on the carved chair beside him, and put his hands on his knees, extremely restrained.

The hall burned incense, the taste is clear and shallow, with the slightest wisp of plum blossom fragrance, clear and not sweet and greasy, not provoking people's diaphragm.

In the corner of the wall lay a brass charcoal basin, burning red, but there was not a trace of smoke in the room.

Stepping on the printed carpet, the heart of the foot is warm, directly conveying to the limbs, thinking that it is the legendary earth dragon.

No wonder such an empty palace, with only a charcoal basin on hold, was as warm as spring, and hot sweat began to break out all over the body.

An Sheng only endured it, and did not dare to take off the cloak on his body, for fear of being rude.

She quietly lifted her eyelids and glanced around, only this shocking glance, in addition to marveling at the luxury in the palace, she also had a little trepidation in her heart.

A palace that is too empty may make people envy and yearn, but it will also make people feel small and feel inferior.

Ansheng falls into the latter category.

She has never been productive, and she feels that her small courtyard is more popular, which makes her heart feel satisfied.

In the hall, there were three pink-clothed palace ladies, with the same tall figure and the same bun, and they were also looking at An Sheng curiously.

An older grandmother walked in, holding a vermilion lacquer tray in her hand, resting it on the desk next to An Sheng, and beckoned to the three palace laves: "The nobles reward your treasures, and all three of them have a share." ”

The three palace ladies obviously fluttered their eyebrows and became excited: "What reward?" ”

Mama lifted the veil covered on it, and An Sheng glanced at it, and it was about a dozen small silver bills with a pen ingot.

The three of them all lowered their voices and exclaimed with joy.

Mama hurriedly made a silent gesture and glanced at the inside: "You get carried away when you are proud, don't you?" You guys are also embarrassed by the master, why did you forget the rules? If it is heard by a nobleman, will it not be a joke? ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly: "We won't dare next time." ”

Mama picked up a silver bill: "The noble man said that you have worked hard to serve the master, and specially explained that the two of them are second-class palace people, and these silver bills are divided into three points and take one each, and Lu Qi takes one for four points." ”

The three of them looked at Mama Fufu: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Mama counted the silver coins on the tray, and was stunned, and then counted them again, thinking about it and looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong, Mama Lu?" The little palace maid asked curiously.

Mama Lu put down the silver coin in her hand and spread her hands: "There are eleven in total, how can this be divided?" Is it possible to split it? ”

The three palace maids were also stunned, and counted with their fingers.

A little palace maid asked suspiciously: "Mama should have heard it wrong, right?" ”

Mama Lu frowned: "How is it possible?" Did I dare I hear the noble man wrong? That's how it's clearly explained. ”

"How can we divide it? We don't care how much, but if the master asks, how can we respond? The palace people said in a row, staring at the silver ingots, and their eyes were shining.

The palace people have a hard life, and most of them have family burdens behind them, who doesn't want to share a little more, and they can supplement the family a lot when they turn around?

Mama also shrugged helplessly: "This noble person will be rewarded, and he will give me a problem." If this is unfair, it will be left behind. ”

The three palace maids were silent, secretly thinking in their hearts.

"Or change it to copper plates, which will be easier to divide." Someone spoke.

"To put it lightly, it is so calculating, and it will lose the face of our Pujia Hall if it is spread out." Mama Lu denied it.

"Then I will have four people with the green hairpin, and three with the green hairpin." The palace maid who spoke earlier proposed.

This was immediately rejected by another person: "How do you always feel as if you have lost a little." ”

The three of you say a word, I say a word, and I always feel that I have suffered a loss, and I don't give in to each other.

An Sheng listened from the sidelines, but he didn't answer, meddling.

The grandmother twisted her face, saw her, and said with a smile: "This girl is literate and knowledgeable at first glance, and I would like you to give me an idea?" ”

An Sheng smiled slightly: "Don't dare to get an axe." ”

"Girl, you don't have to be polite, you see that no matter how this is divided, they all feel that they are at a loss, and the mother-in-law is so loud that her head is big, and a bowl of water is uneven."

"Then I'll give a few Xian'e sisters an idea."

An Sheng stood up, walked closer, and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, which was the same color as those ones, and rested it on the tray.

"Now there are a total of twelve silver rewards, and the green hairpin and the green shadow sister each take one-third, that is, four per person, right?"

Seeing that An Sheng actually took out the silver by himself and rewarded them, the green hairpin and the green shadow naturally felt that they had taken advantage of it, and hurriedly thanked: "Yes, yes, thank you, girl." ”

An Sheng glanced at the palace man named Lu Qi again: "Sister, you need to take one out of four, that is three, is that right?" ”

Lu Qi was also busy nodding: "Yes, yes!" ”

As a result, there is still one left in the tray, which is the one that An Shengshi put inside.

An Sheng picked up the silver, still tucked it into his sleeve, and smiled slightly.

The four of them were all stunned, and they didn't understand how to divide it for a while, and in the end there was one left.

"Isn't that a joy for all?"

Mama nodded happily: "Girl, this method is wonderful, thank you girl." ”
