It's really fast!

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

After I went there, I found that in addition to the queen, Concubine Wen was also there, and I hurriedly saluted, "I have met the queen! I have met Concubine Wen!"

Concubine Wen still looked elegant and peaceful, "Miss Jiu is polite!" As if she knew Xu Shu's doubts, she took the initiative to explain, "Prince Pingning is back, and the Empress Dowager fainted in excitement, so she asked me to help the Empress!"

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

"You are kind to the Queen, you are the Queen who has the right guidance!"

Although Xu Shu was a little surprised when she saw Concubine Wen, she realized in a flash that the reason why Concubine Wen appeared here was because not only Zhou Jin came back today, but also Zhou Jin's biological mother Concubine Zhen.

In front of the biological mother of Concubine Zhen, the status of Empress Dowager Fu is somewhat awkward, especially for more than ten years, Concubine Zhen has been with Zhou Jin, while Empress Dowager Fu is in a luxurious and elegant place in the deep palace. In order to avoid such embarrassment, Empress Dowager Fu also brought Concubine Wen over. At least with the foil of Concubine Wen, the atmosphere can be alleviated.

"You're here!" The Empress waved and let Xu Shu go forward. "King Pingning has been in Rouran for many years and may have something unaccustomed to Dayin's diet, so this palace has also prepared some dishes that Rouran likes today. However, Rouran believes that it is mostly fed with cattle and sheep, and the taste is fishy and heavy. You can help me prepare some spices suitable for burning. It must not only suppress the fishy smell of beef and mutton, but also make people drowsy!"

Xu Shu nodded, "Okay!" and went down to prepare.

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 making incense!"

The queen's smile stopped and she returned to calm after a moment. "She has lived in the family temple for many years, and she is so sad that she can only use incense to expel her worries!"

"So that's it!" Concubine Wen nodded meaningfully and suddenly coughed, "It's cool tonight, the Queen Rong Chen will go and add a piece of clothes!"

The Empress nodded, "I'm almost busy here too. Ruoshu will send Concubine Wen to this palace!"

"It's time for Miss Ruoshu!"

The queen frowned and frowned. It was because she had lost her words. Concubine Wen must have noticed something... What should I do? What if Concubine Wen spoke and tempted at the banquet later and embarrassed Xu Shu? For the sake of the present, I will only not give Concubine Wen any chance!

"Madam Yuan, go and see Miss Jiu. If she has prepared the spices, you can ask the palace maid to come here. Take Miss Jiu to the private warehouse of our palace to pick up some things and prepare to send them to Concubine Zhen!"

"Isn't it too late to explain this matter tomorrow? And there are so many things that can't be picked up in a short while..." Didn't the Empress summon Miss Jiu to the palace to accompany her at the banquet? Why did she instead send someone to pick things up?

"Go! I have changed my mind. When the banquet ends, I will send the things directly to the royal palace with King Pingning and Concubine Zhen!" The queen waved her hand and said no more.

Madam Yuan didn't dare to ask more questions when she heard this, so she hurriedly went to pass the message. Xu Shu felt strange when she heard it. When she almost finished picking the things, most of the banquet had passed. The queen called her over to let her do this. She didn't even need to bother Madam Yuan. Wouldn't it be better to let Ruoshu go? Why did she and Madam Yuan go now?

"What else did the Queen tell you?"

Madam Yuan shook her head, "The Empress has not given any instructions! Now the Empress asks Ruoshu to send Concubine Wen back, Miss Jiu should finish the incense quickly and follow the old slave to pick up something and return to Dingtai Hall. The Empress is there alone, so I'm not relieved!!"

"Concubine Wen is back?" Xu Shu was slightly surprised, "Concubine Wen will not attend the evening banquet?" Concubine Wen was the only concubine of the late emperor who was still in the palace, and she was quite active. She was probably the one in the palace banquet. Why did she leave before the banquet was opened today!

"Concubine Wen said that it was a cool evening and she wanted to go back and add some clothes!"

The weather was warm and refreshing. Although there was a breeze, even people like Xu Shu who were afraid of the cold felt cool and comfortable, and did not feel cold at all. Moreover, Xu Shu remembered that when she met, Concubine Wen wore a jacket, how could it be cold? And even if she really felt cold, why didn’t the palace maids go and get it, and she had to go there for a special trip by herself?

Xu Shu frowned and thought about it again and again. Seeing the fragrance in her hand, her frown suddenly couldn't relax anymore.

"The nanny sent the incense to the Empress, and then stayed in Dingtai Hall to serve the Empress. The Empress cannot live without the nanny! When Miss Ruoshu comes back, let Miss Ruoshu accompany me to reward the things given to Concubine Zhen!"

"Okay!" After hesitating for a moment, Madam Yuan agreed very simply, and Xu Shu's proposal hit her mind.

Soon Ruoshu came indeed, "Miss Jiu, Madam Yuan asked me to go with you to pick things for Concubine Zhen. Madam Yuan has already given the order to me, just find the things! If it's fast, I can catch up with the banquet!"

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

Ruoshu shook his head, "The Concubine Wen did not talk to me. I sent Concubine Wen to Wenzao Palace and came back! Concubine Wen also rewarded me with a handful of golden melon seeds!"

Ruoshu spread his purse open, and there were about a dozen bright seeds lying inside. Even in the palace, there were not many such generous things!

"Concubine Wen is so generous!"

Ruoshu smiled and said, "Concubine Wen is the most kind and calls me to go back all the way, but the empress gave the order. I dare not go back without permission, and sent Concubine Wen to the palace gate. Concubine Wen rewarded me!"

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

"yes!"

Ruoshu took the list and instructed the palace maids to pick out all the things and put them in brocade boxes. All Xu Shu had to do was watch and didn't have to do anything. But when she arrived in front of the Queen, it was her credit...

"Miss Nine, the things are all together!"

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