Liu Hui narrowed his eyes, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He picked up the pink and green glazed teacup in his hand, gently blew off the foam on it, and took a sip slowly before reminding the old steward: "Let those people outside come in!"

Since these maids can be selected by the queen's mother, they are naturally good-looking, or delicate, or charming, or plump, or slender, or ...... In short, all the tastes that men like are taken care of.

Watching the girls line up and walk closer, the delicate and vivid faces dazzled Hua Lianyue, and suddenly there was an illusion of sitting on the Jinluan Treasure Hall for beauty pageants.

Eight beauties with different characteristics finally stood in front of Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue, leaned over in unison, and said crisply: "I've seen the prince, I've seen the lady!"

Since he said that he would leave it to Hua Lianyue to deal with, Liu Hui naturally didn't pay much attention to it, and only lowered his head and drank tea slowly, without even lifting his eyelids. Hua Lianyue was very interested, looking at this, looking at that, she seemed to feel that there was such a group of lively beauties dangling in front of her, which was actually quite eye-catching.

It wasn't until she had seen enough that she said, "Get up!"

"Mrs. Xie!"

Hua Lianyue always had a smile on the corner of her lips, and said calmly: "Since you are from the palace, you are naturally also a girl from a good family." Let's talk about it, what is your name, which master in the palace did you serve before, and what affairs are you responsible for?"

The old housekeeper on the side was originally worried that Hua Lianyue was a young daughter-in-law, and he was jealous, so he would send these maids away. If this is really the case, but it will fall into the face of the queen, even if the queen mother is generous and does not care, it is difficult to explain in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and maybe she will have a bad reputation of jealousy in front of the world.

can see Hua Lianyue's expression, it is actually quite pleasant, and there is no sense of unhappiness. He couldn't help but raise his gray eyebrows and smile knowingly. Yes, the housewife is open-minded and has the demeanor of a lady.

The maids glanced at each other, a melon seed face, peach blossom eyes, willow waist, and a maid wearing a red dress took the lead in taking a step forward. With that, she took a step back and returned to the group.

With Jiao Xing's beginning, there was immediately a green-shirted maid with a disc face, apricot eyes, and a plump body walked out, she also bowed her knees at Hua Lianyue, and said crisply: "The slave Yirong was originally Wen Ronghua who served the Yongning Palace, and she was a second-class palace person in charge of needlework. ”

Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing a tender yellow dress and a goose egg face walked out: "Slave ......."

Hua Lianyue listened quietly, and as expected, these girls were originally serving in the palace with some masters of low rank. Probably because of their outstanding appearance, these masters were afraid that they would take away the holy favor, so they all marginalized them, and were usually only responsible for some needlework, sprinkling or washing. Speaking of which, they are also depressed in the palace, and it is thanks to Queen Xie that she can collect these people and stuff them all into the Xianwang Mansion in one go.

These girls have been suppressed in the harem for a long time, and now they have finally come to a new place, and with the secret instigation of Queen Xie, they will definitely make a disturbance in the always calm Xianwang Mansion.

While speaking, Hua Lianyue had already seen that several of them couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and peeked at Liu Hui, who lowered her eyebrows, and even one of them was particularly bold, and kept secretly sending autumn waves to Liu Hui in front of her. It's a pity that she was too anxious, and Liu Hui was too indifferent, and the girl's enthusiasm was all done to the blind man.

The smile on Hua Lianyue's face froze, and then she gently looked away.

When they finished speaking, the housekeeper saw that although Hua Liyue had been smiling all the time, her eyes were obviously wandering, which showed that she was distracted. He coughed lightly and asked cautiously, "Masterdam, how should these maids be arranged, please give me instructions." ”

Hua Lianyue's sanity was pulled back, her fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after pondering for a moment, she said: "Your name must have been obtained by the masters after entering the palace, but now that you have entered my Xianwang Mansion, you naturally can't use your previous name, you have to change it all!"

The girls bowed down and said in unison: "Please give the name of the lady!"

Hua Lianyue didn't think about it at all, and waved her hand, pointed to the four on the left, and said, "It's too complicated for me to remember, in this way, you are spring, summer, autumn, and winter." Then he pointed to the four on the right and said, "You are Mei, Lan, Bamboo, and Ju!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Hui, who was in a fugue and slowly drinking tea, choked and coughed. It's a random name, isn't it?

The corners of the old housekeeper's eyes also twitched vigorously, no wonder there were rumors in the market that the woman that the prince liked was born in a reckless manner, and she was not as good as the concubine of the Zhang family in Xunyang. Originally, he didn't believe it, but looking at the names she gave to the maids, there was a strong air of vulgarity, and there was a little bit of poetry and self-indulgence in the belly.

Hua Lianyue heard Liu Hui's choking cough, squinted at it, and said, "What's the matter?

The girls also looked at Liu Hui with the same expectation, they didn't want such an earthy and vulgar name! Think about if one day, they won the favor of the prince. But the prince could only call them again and again: Chun'er, Xia'er or Mei'er, Zhu'er, that's a lot of scenery.

Liu Hui's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly said: "It's good, it's good, it's catchy, and it's easy to remember. "If the girls have been hit hard, my lord, is it really good for you to speak with your conscience like this?

But Liu Hui said so, and there was no way for them to change as slaves and maids, so they had to cry and mourn, and they all bent their knees: "Thank you Madame for the name!"

Hua Lianyue hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, I haven't finished my words yet!" Spring, summer, autumn and winter, you will be responsible for the courtyard sprinkling and sweeping in the future, Meilan Zhuju, you will be responsible for the flowers and trees in the yard in the future. ”

Liu Hui smiled when he heard this, listen, after changing his name, it was really catchy to shout, and he finished commanding it all in one breath, so he didn't have to rest his breath!

After listening to Hua Lianyue's arrangement, the girls couldn't help but look at each other, showing hesitation. Seeing this, Hua Lianyue secretly sneered. Sure enough, with Queen Xie behind her, these people are not so easy to deal with!

Hua Lianyue was not in a hurry, she happened to be a little thirsty, so she took the tea cup on the table and drank half of it in one go.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little weird, the old housekeeper hurriedly reminded: "Madame has already arranged your errand, don't hurry up and thank Madame!"

The girls were still biting their lipes, and no one was willing to move. In the end, it was the girl who secretly threw flattering eyes at Liu Hui couldn't help it, she took a step forward, blessed Hua Lianyue, and said crisply: "Madame, I'm afraid it's a mistake, the queen mother explained to us that we entered the mansion to serve your masters." Instead of anything to clean the courtyard and take care of the flowers and trees. Please also ask Madame to consider and arrange other work for our sisters, so as not to disappoint the queen's kindness!"

This is the clear Queen Naxie to suppress her.

Hua Lianyue raised her head with a "whoosh", the smile on her face had all disappeared, and she stared coldly at the bold girl, she asked in a deep voice: "Does the queen mother explain to you, do not respect the master's arrangement, reject the master's decision at will, or don't take the master in her eyes?"

The girl was shocked, she had always been smiling when she saw Hua Lianyue, and gave them such a vulgar name, thinking that she was an ordinary woman with no knowledge, as long as she pulled out the banner of the queen mother, she would definitely have scruples. Unexpectedly, Hua Lianyue picked up the shelf of the housemother, and the momentum would be so compelling.

"Poof", the girl's legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground weakly, she shook her head in a panic and said, "No, no." ”

Hua Lianyue still stared at her coldly.

The girl bit her lower lip and peeked at Liu Hui on the side. saw that he was also staring at himself impatiently with thick eyebrows. Her body couldn't help trembling slightly, and finally fell to the ground softly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's the slave who will be wrong, the queen mother only asked us to serve the master well, and didn't let us be disrespectful to the master." ”

Hua Lianyue nodded, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "It turns out that the queen didn't tell you like this, I originally thought that when I entered the palace tomorrow, I would ask the queen mother in person, don't be too stupid, I misunderstood the original intention of the queen mother." ”

After a pause, she eased her complexion again, and said calmly: "Don't worry, since the queen mother gave you down, my Xian Wangfu will not treat you badly." Whether it is the work of the inner court or the work of the outer court, it is to serve the master. If you do a good job, you will also receive a reward!" she had not finished speaking, but the maids had already understood what she meant. If you don't do well, you will naturally be punished!

Only then did the maids understand that they regarded this Lady Moon as a vulgar ordinary woman. But this Mrs. Yue treats them as fish and meat on the board, kneading them as much as she wants, and she is not afraid of the queen mother who gave them at all.

What can they do? They are just powerless little maids, and they can only hold their noses for the time being to accept Hua Liyue's arrangement. As long as they are not kicked out, there will always be a chance to get ahead.

Seeing that these maids from the palace were honest, the housekeeper immediately took them down, and then went about the affairs assigned to them to be specifically responsible. Thinking about being scared by Hua Liyue like this, they should be honest.

Who knew that not long after Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue returned to the main courtyard, the housekeeper ran back sweating profusely. Hua Lianyue has changed into a smoky wide-sleeved Shu brocade jacket, and the neckline is also decorated with oily and fluffy white fox fur, which makes her little face more and more white as jade, as if there is a treasure flowing.

At this moment, she was throwing the copper key in her hand, pulling Liu Hui, and wanted to visit his private vault that he had treasured for many years to see what treasures were inside.

The old butler stood under the verandah, and said to Hua Lianyue with a bitter old face: "Madam, those girls are fighting!"

"Fighting?" Hua Lianyue rolled her eyes and asked with interest, "Do you know what they are for?"

The old housekeeper stomped his feet and said hatefully: "They are still from the palace, there are no rules at all, and they have to fight for everything." The location of the bed, the area of the courtyard that was responsible for sprinkling, and even the name given by the lady, they all fought endlessly, and none of them were willing to back down. Later, they simply fought. ”

Speaking of this, the old butler was still frightened and indignant, presumably he had never seen such an unruly maid since he entered the palace.

Hua Lianyue laughed, she reached out and stroked a few strands of messy hair on her sideburns, and said: "They have been suppressed for too long before, and now they have finally arrived in a new place, and everyone is on an equal footing, there is no distinction between high and low, so they simply make a big fuss, and they will come out first." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile and squint at Liu Hui. Liu Hui's white face turned a little red, and he said hatefully: "The master has the final say, they are all from the palace, why are they so unruly." Butler, go and tell them that if anyone dares to make trouble again, they will all wait to be beaten!"

"Yes!" the old butler got Liu Hui's order and wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

Hua Lianyue said, "Wait!"

The old butler stood still and said, "Madame, do you have any other orders?"

Hua Lianyue glanced at Liu Hui and said, "Didn't you say that you would leave the affairs of the backyard to me?"

Liu Hui froze for a moment, flicked his sleeves stupidly, and was speechless.

Hua Lianyue looked at the old housekeeper and said with a smile: "They don't know the rules, they don't have a proper manner, it doesn't matter." Anyway, it's in the house, and it won't be known to outsiders. Even if they beat the brains of dogs, they will not be able to turn the sky upside down. You've had a hard day, so why don't you go back and get some rest. Let them make a fuss on their own, and when they are tired, they will naturally stop. ”

The old housekeeper never expected Hua Lianyue to give such an order, he hesitated for a moment, and said in disagreement: "Madam, although there are not many people in our palace, everyone is well-behaved, and there has never been such a scandal. If you don't care about them, will you ......?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter, just listen to me!" Hua Lianyue's smile turned cold. Although she didn't want to show her master to an old man who valued the rules, she also didn't allow anyone to question her decision.

The old butler didn't dare to say any more, so he staggered away.

Hua Lianyue looked at his back and shook her head secretly. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and even if Liu Hui uses brutality to calm down this dispute, he can only maintain a superficial calm. The open and secret battles in the secret will not stop. After all, it is in everyone's vital interest.

It's very simple, the housekeeper arranged for them to sleep in two bunks, don't look at the four of them sleeping on one floor, the position is different, and the feelings are also different. For example, the position near the window will be easy to leak wind and rain, and the position near the door will be easy to be disturbed by people coming in and out. So they will all stare at the two positions in the center of the shop, that is, it is warm and will not be noisy.

There is also cleaning the courtyard, everyone knows that the leaves under the trees are constantly falling, and they can never be cleaned. The bluestone pavement is not troubled by fallen leaves, so it is naturally easy to clean. Well, naturally, everyone wants to clean the bluestone road, and no one wants to clean the fallen leaves that can never be cleaned.

Even taking care of flowers and trees is easy to take care of and not easy to take care of. When Hua Liyue arranged these things, she deliberately said them extremely vaguely. is to let them fight for it, and only when they make a lot of trouble can they find an excuse to drive them out of the palace and gag the queen's mouth.
