Chapter 42: The Palace Rules
Soon after Father Shi left, the female officials and eunuchs in the palace arrived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info The eunuch went directly to serve Han Xiu, and the female official came to Shi Jiao'e's side.
"Madam, the lady of the palace asks to see you." Wanxi calmly entered the door to report, neither happy nor excited, nor nervous and afraid.
Wanxi is always like this, and she rarely shows her emotions.
"Bring them in." Shi Jiao'e retracted her thoughts and slowly raised her head.
"The slave has seen the queen." A group of five people, the carp approached in, bowed his head and walked in front of Shi Jiao'e, and stood up straight with respectful eyes.
Then they raise their hands and raise their foreheads, bow 90 degrees, then straighten up, and at the same time put their hands with their eyebrows, and then they touch their knees at the same time, and slowly bow down, their palms on the ground, and their foreheads on their palms.
From entering the door to kneeling down and saluting, the five people did not make any noise, and no one looked up or looked at each other.
This is the female official in the palace, and the skirt can't even make a sound when walking, and the master has no order, and he must not look up to take a second look.
"Get up." Shi Jiao'e said indifferently.
Only then did the five female officials get up, and at the same time their hands follow their eyebrows, and then they stand with their hands down, their heads slightly bowed, and their eyes are slightly down.
A series of movements, like flowing water, are atmospheric, and for those who have never seen it, it is really shocking.
However, Shi Jiao'e was very indifferent and did not show the slightest expression of surprise.
She knew all these rules, and she was familiar with them. When she went to the palace banquet with her mother and met the queen, she performed this kind of ceremony, which was the highest standard of worship.
Everything is as if it were yesterday.
Shi Jiao'e was stunned for a moment, then looked at these female officials and said, "I called you over today mainly to select people. This time I returned to Beijing, the king and I have brought a lot of people with us, and you will select these maids according to the requirements for selecting palace maids, and the process can be simplified. ”
Shi Jiao'e only mentioned the maid, but did not mention the mother-in-law.
There are rules in the palace, as long as the daughter-in-law who has married someone and the mother-in-law who is not clean, they are not allowed to enter the palace.
"Wanxi, you take them there." Shi Jiao'e waved her hand, and then she didn't care about them.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace had already killed a group when the second prince of Dali usurped the throne. Later, Chu Yang entered the palace and killed another batch. Now less than half of the people left are innocent people who have been investigated by Shi's father.
That is to say, these are all Shiwen people. Otherwise, there would be no bowing to Shi Jiao'e.
Soon after the female officer left, Ryu Ji's courtyard became lively, and various noisy voices continued to be heard.
"My maid and mother-in-law, why can't they enter the palace? They have been with me for so many years, and they all know the roots, why do they still choose? Liu Suizhu's heart was full of anger.
She had already planned to bring these people around her into the palace one by one. When the time comes, she will not want palace maids and eunuchs in her palace, only these trustworthy subordinates.
However, she didn't expect that there would be such palace rules.
Selection?
How to choose?
Why Audition?
She is Han Xiu's favorite woman, the future hostess of the inner palace, she just wants to bring a few subordinates, who can control it?
"Mrs. Liu, these two maids beside you can't be brought into the palace. The rules of the palace, the palace maid must be taken from a good family. That is, they were selected from the people, and they were born in non-doctors, non-witches, non-businessmen and non-hundred workers' families, so that innocent women can enter the palace. The two maids beside you are both from Qinglou and do not meet the requirements of a good family. ”
The female official of grace is neither humble nor arrogant, although she does not show a look of disdain, but she does not have the kind of respect and awe in front of Shi Jiao'e.
When they came to Liu Ji's side, let alone kneeling, they didn't even bow down, but just bowed slightly, which was considered a salute to the Liu family.
"The king of Xiang has not yet been proclaimed emperor, where did he get so many rules? The palace rules you are talking about are from the previous dynasty, right? At this time, you still abide by the palace rules of the previous dynasty, do you want to rebel? ”
I have to say that Liu Suizhu reacts quickly and has a very sharp mouth, and she can easily gain the upper hand in the verbal battle.
It's a pity that she met a female officer of grace this time.
survived in the palace for many years, and was able to climb to the position of a female official in so many intrigues, and even escaped two palace riots......
Such a woman is not easy to get along with.
Mrs. Liu laughed. No matter which dynasty or generation, no matter whose rules it is, a woman from a Qinglou is not allowed to enter the palace. Female official Fengyi replied neither soft nor hard.
This is still as a palace maid, and the requirements for origin are already so strict. If you are the emperor's palace concubine, the requirements are even higher.
"Mrs. Liu, please cooperate with the slave and maid to do some necessary examinations." Another female official had a straight face, and she actually wanted to provoke Liu Suizhu.
"You're going to check me? Why do you examine me? If you have to check it out, why not check Shi Jiao'e? Liu Suizhu was annoyed and wanted to go to Han Xiu to complain immediately.
This is Shi Jiao'e's dismount for her!
She definitely did it on purpose!
"If you are disrespectful to the queen, call the queen by her name, and you should slap your mouth fifty." The lady of the wind looked at Liu Suizhu indifferently, like looking at the weeds on the ground, "I don't think there is any comparison with the queen who has shared hardships with the king and experienced blood and fire together, and the same young and beautiful woman who can only sing and dance and blow the wind by the pillow!" ”
"A concubine is also worthy of being compared to a queen!" The female officer with a straight face showed a mocking face and said coldly, "Give me a slap!" ”
As the only five female officials left in the palace, they are in charge of all the palace maids, and they also brought a lot of people with them when they came out this time, how could a nameless concubine like Liu Suizhu provoke it?
The female official of the demeanor is a third grade, and she doesn't have to salute when she sees the master below the concubine, who is not very stammered in the palace, Liu Suizhu actually treats them as ordinary subordinates.
What a short-sightedness!
"Who dare!" Liu Suizhu was furious and glared at everyone fiercely. She thought that she was Han Xiu's favorite concubine, and with Han Xiu's protection, she could not be afraid of heaven and earth, and even Shi Jiao'e did not dare to touch her.
Pity......
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! A crisp slap sounded.
Liu Suizhu was stunned, and the whole person didn't know how to react, like being pressed against a big stone in her chest, so stuffy that she wanted to vomit blood.
These subordinates really dare to beat her!
And the maids and maids beside her were so frightened that no one dared to speak out, let alone step forward to stop them.
How can Liu Suizhu not be angry?
Her fists were clenched tightly, her eyes were almost on fire, and she wanted to grab the hair of these palace maids and scratch their faces!
But she couldn't.
She can't be like a shrew.
She didn't even dare to go to Han Xiu to call the shots. The last time she trespassed into the military tent, Han Xiu was already dissatisfied with her, and if she ran over to cry now, not only would she not get pity, but she would only make Han Xiu bored.
That's what men are.
When it matters, she can only rely on herself.
