In the blink of an eye, October.

The period of filial piety of the first emperor has passed, the new emperor is in the dynasty, the harem changes hands, and the old and the new alternate in an orderly manner, as if this is the most ordinary natural law in the world.

Seeing that everyone has adapted to life in the palace, he respects the noble concubine and adds some palace people to the palace of the two concubines. The queen doesn't have to worry about her, although she has only been in the palace for more than a month, Xu Jinhe has already cultivated a group of capable minions, but this is also reasonable, as a queen, she cooks too many things every day, although Song Chen now only has one queen and two concubines, but the first emperor still left a few concubines, these palaces add up, it is enough for her to turn around, how can she take care of her subordinates without cultivating some good intentions?

But Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi are different, when they entered the palace, they only brought a few maids who served closely, and now each person has a big palace, and a few maids are naturally not enough to call, so they should add more. Jing Guifei secretly knew the way of the harem, and in order to make the person happy for the greatest time, she left a message to the inner court supervisor, and asked the inner court supervisor to choose some clever and diligent ones first, and the two ladies would choose them themselves.

Chu Xue asked Qi Jing Ruyue to pick a few palace maids, although these two girls are quiet, they are calm, and they are also very good at reading people, and the palace maids they picked are quite in line with Chu Xue's heart. But Chu Xue thought about it and felt that there was still a lack of a steward eunuch in the palace, and the trustworthy ones who could serve her closely were all brought in from the palace, and they were not familiar with the rules and bends of the harem.

Song Chen also thought so, so he also left a message with the inner court supervisor and asked Chu Xue to pick it herself.

In the palace now, who doesn't know that Concubine Yi of Yufu Palace has the most sacred heart, and Zhou Yu, the chief supervisor of the inner court, received the decree, and the first thing he did was to personally ask Chu Xue what kind of person he wanted.

Chu Xue has just entered the palace, and she has no context, so there is no ready-made candidate, but she knows that no matter what, the head of her palace cannot contribute to others. After thinking about it, a person appeared in her mind, the person who rescued her from the fire that day.

Since he can come and sacrifice his life to save her, it will definitely not be from Fengyi Palace.

Chu Xue thought for a while and said with a smile: "When Gonggong Zhou asked like this, this palace thought of someone...... At that time, the Sheng'an Temple was out of the water, and the father-in-law who rescued the palace did not know where he was now? ”

Zhou Yu immediately understood, Concubine Yi Niangniang had already planned, he thought about it for a while, smiled and bowed down and replied, "On that day in the Sheng'an Palace, the person on duty should be the celebrant supervisor, Niangniang waited, and the slave will go to find someone for you." ”

Chu Xue bowed slightly, Zhou Yu withdrew from the palace gate, and immediately went to the celebrant supervisor.

When Zhou Yu arrived at the celebrant eunuch, Qiu Yan was giving a lecture to the little eunuchs under him.

As the deputy head of the celebrant supervisor, he has too many things to worry about, the boss is not in good health, and he has stopped taking care of things in recent years, so in the master of ceremonies, no matter how big or small, big and small things fall on his shoulders. Any one of the little eunuchs under his command is enough for him to work for half a day, serving people, and serving the most noble family in the whole world, which is really not easy!

Seeing that Zhou Yu came in person, Qiu Yan politely made a gesture. Although there are twelve eunuchs in the palace, each performing its own duties, the inner court supervisor is undoubtedly the most powerful, and the head of the inner court supervisor is naturally the highest position among the palace people, just like the housekeeper of a mansion.

Zhou Yu had already inquired on the way when he came, and it was Qiu Yan, the deputy head of the ceremonial supervisor, who went to save Concubine Yi that night. Although Concubine Yi wants someone, the deputy head of the first prison is already thirty years old, and it is obviously inappropriate to serve the master closely, but since Concubine Yi has already spoken, how to deal with it, Zhou Yu still has to listen to the opinion of the party Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan was quite surprised when he heard Zhou Yu's intention at first glance, and he smiled at Zhou Yu, "Mr. Zhou Mingjian, how does this make it, don't say that the small one who is the master of ceremonies can't leave, the little one is already this age, clumsy, how can he serve the master?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at him, "Do you think our family doesn't know?" But if Master Yi asks you by name, you just have to refuse, and you have to find a suitable reason! You can't let our family go back to the master, saying that you, Mr. Qiu, are a busy man and don't have time to serve the master, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qiu Yan nodded with a smiling face, and after a little thought, he pondered: "You think this can't be done, the little one here, there is an apprentice named Fugui, the kid is very clever, and the little one will go to make amends to Master Yi in person, and by the way, lead Fugui to Master Yi's eyes, if the mother can look at it, let this kid go over to be an errand, if you can't look down on it, you will find a way to do it." ”

Zhou Yu moved his eyes, glanced at the wealthy who was standing quietly, and looked at the smart face, and said in his heart Since Qiu Yan saved Concubine Yi, he must be able to get a little value in Concubine Yi's heart, and this thing can be done.

He nodded, "Just do as you say, how will you reply when you meet Master Yi, you don't need our tutor, right?" ”

"The little one understands!"

Qiu Yan accompanied the smiling face to send Zhou Da out of the courtyard. turned around, but put away his smile and instructed Fugui, "Why don't you go and change your clothes and pack up well, and wait for the spirit to go and say hello to the nobleman!" ”

"Yes." Fugui hurried back to his house.

Qiu Yan closed the door and carefully tidied up, although he had met Chu Xue twice, but the first time he only said two words, and the second time was in the chaotic and dangerous fire, counting it, the third meeting in a while was the official reunion of the two, and he naturally had to take it seriously.

A better straight palace dress, glanced at the bronze mirror, Qiu Yan, or Yue Cheng, sighed, it's been nine years, he has been grinding his cheeks, he has already changed his appearance, and when the old man is reunited, Wenwen shouldn't recognize him! But it's better not to recognize it, it's not the time to recognize each other now, and Wenwen is still pregnant, and her love is really bad for her.

Without thinking about it anymore, Qiu Yan opened the door and went to Yufu Palace with Fugui, who was waiting outside the door.

Zhou Yucai retreated for an hour, and there were people from the celebrant outside who asked to see him, Chu Xue secretly sighed at the convenience of the people in the palace, put down the embroidery work in his hand, and got up to the main hall.

Seeing the person who saluted her, Chu Xue felt a little familiar, especially those eyes, which always made her feel kind. But she has no acquaintances in the palace, especially the celebrant eunuch.

She was puzzled, and Yan Ling beside her said in a word, "Huh? This steward seems to have seen it at the palace banquet on the birthday of the emperor last year. ”

Qiu Yan bowed down and said with a smile: "The girl has a good memory, and the slave did have the honor to serve Concubine Yi to change her clothes last year." ”

Chu Xue then remembered that it was the manager who led her to change her clothes at the palace banquet last year.

She looked at the two people standing in front of her, and felt that Qiu Yan's figure and voice were more like the person who saved her in the Sheng'an Temple that night, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the one who saved the palace that night was also Manager Qiu?" ”

Qiu Yan smiled, "It is the slave who can protect the master and the son of Yi, and it is the blessing that the slave has cultivated for eight lifetimes." ”

In the palace, everyone in charge has always had a sweet mouth, Chu Xue smiled slightly, and asked Yanling to reward some gold leaves.

Qiu Yan thanked him and explained the truth to Chu Xue, "I heard that Niangniang is short of a steward here, Niangniang has blue eyes, and the slave should not have resigned, but the celebrant can't find a takeover for a while, and the slave is clumsy, I'm afraid that the service is not good, and it will annoy you......"

He glanced at Fugui, Fugui hurriedly stepped forward in two steps, Qiu Yan continued: "There is such a person under the slave's hand, this kid is called Fugui, he looks clever on weekdays, and he is a slave hand-in-hand. Taught out, if the mother looks pleasing to the eye, you can try to use him for a few days, if it doesn't suit your heart, wait for the slave to hand over the work under his hands, and come over immediately. ”

Chu Xue saw Qiu Yan's identity, and knew that it was impossible to ask him to come over, and then look at Fugui, he did look clever, and Qiu Yan saved her, she felt trustworthy, and the person he recommended should be no problem, so she smiled and said: "It's because the palace didn't think it through, and the manager was embarrassed, and the person brought out by the manager was naturally no problem, and the manager Lao bothered." ”

Qiu Yan nodded, and when Fugui heard that he was being taken a good eye on, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave Sansheng is fortunate to be able to serve the master, Xie Niangniang will take it in!" The slave will do his best to be a cow and a horse for his master in the future! ”

Chu Xue motioned for him to be flat, and asked Yanling to reward him with a handful of gold leaves.

Seeing that things were going well, Qiu Yan was not ready to stay longer, and instructed Fugui a few words, "It is your ancestors who can come to Concubine Yi's side to accumulate virtue!" In the future, you must be careful to serve, if there is negligence and negligence, master, I will pick your skin first! ”

"Yes, yes." Fugui nodded again and again.

Concubine Yi is the person who has the most sacred heart, and now she is still pregnant with a dragon descendant, and she can be transferred to Yufu Palace, it is really that he is rich and burns high incense, and he will naturally cheer up and work hard.

Qiu Yan said goodbye to Chu Xue happily and withdrew from Yufu Palace.

Looking at his back, Chu Xue couldn't help but wonder, she always felt that this person was a little familiar, but his tone and demeanor were completely like that of an old palace person, but she really didn't know the people in the palace before!

Since she couldn't think of it, she simply didn't think about it anymore, Chu Xue explained to Xia Qijing and asked the palace people to come to see Fugui.

Qiu Yan came out of Yufu Palace and walked on the way back to the ceremonial supervisor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Wenwen, who was cared for and raised by Chu Lin and his wife, has a much calmer temperament than before, and has indeed grown a lot after staying in Hengwangfu for a year.

But the queen from the Xu family is really difficult to deal with, he arranges his henchmen and wealth by Wenwen's side, and he can finally guard against some open guns and arrows, and can protect Wenwen well. As for the rest, there is still a long way to go in the future, and he will slowly help Wenwen and let her get what she deserves.

Fugui is worthy of being personally transferred by the chief supervisor of ceremonies. The apprentices who were taught were very good at acting, and they had only come for half a month, and the Yufu Palace was already in order, and the big and small affairs were also arranged by him in an orderly manner, Chu Xue and Song Chen were very satisfied, and they were rewarded with a lot of benefits.

Rich and noble, when the reward is in hand, he will take out more than half, go to the master of ceremonies to honor the master Qiu Yan, he used to be helpless when he first entered the palace, often bullied, the master saw it, he took him with him, taught him hand in hand, saved him a lot of detours, and his kindness was like a reborn parent.

Qiu Yan saw the pile of gold leaves and golden melon seeds in his hand, but he only smiled faintly and said, "That's it, the master doesn't lack your gold and silver, keep it yourself!" Take good care of Master Yi for me, if she has anything embarrassing, you can't do it, just come and tell me, this lady has a bright future, let's live and serve, and there will be benefits in the future! ”

Fugui felt that the master was very far-sighted, and nodded yes.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fugui to talk back again.

Closing the door, Fugui said cautiously: "Master, I see, Master Yi seems to want to help Concubine Rong and get the third prince back." ”

"Oh?" Qiu Yan, who had been busy for a day, suddenly came to his senses, he thought about it, nodded and said, "I know, I want to find a way to do this, you go back and serve first." ”

"Yes." Fugui knew that the master was sure, and returned to Yufu Palace with confidence.
