The first day of entering the palace was not as easy as expected, after all the new female officials arrived at Xiwen Hall, the female officials gave each of them a thick set of palace rules, in addition to the palace rules that the palace concubines had to abide by, there was also an independent set of palace rules for female officials.

Liu Qin counted slightly, and there were at least more than 200 pieces of paper, which were densely written with words, and guided the female officials to order that all the new female officials who entered the palace should memorize this palace rule within two days and copy it twice. After two days, if you can't memorize it, or if you can't copy it twice, you will cancel the day's meal until you memorize it.

When all the new female officials heard the order of the guide female officer to go back to the room, they were eager to return to the room immediately and began to recite the palace rules.

At dinner time, Liu Qin finally memorized more than 30 pieces of paper, "Sui'er, I see that you haven't memorized it, how much do you remember?" ”

An Sui smiled, "I don't know about this, but I can still remember some of it." ”

"Why is the first day so hard? So how many copies have you copied? ”

"It's almost halfway there."

"So fast?"

"It's fine."

"Can you show me?"

An Sui handed over the paper, and Liu Qin turned over the pages one by one, "The handwriting is really good, this is not a hairpin!" ”

An Sui nodded, "I'm not good at hairpins, so I can write them faster." ”

"So what is Sui'er good at writing? Lines? ”

"No, write official scripts and seal scripts."

"Lishu and seal? These two fonts are not common in my dynasty, huh? ”

An Sui nodded, "I learned from my father when I was young, and I didn't learn well, but compared to regular script and line script, it is probably easier to write official script." ”

Liu Qin fell on the bed tiredly, "I'm tired, I'll say sleep first, and I can only carry it when I'm full." ”

Ann smiled and didn't speak, reaching out to put out the light.

Before the exam two days later, Liu Qin still had a lot to memorize and copy, "Sui'er, have you finished copying?" ”

An Sui shook his head.

"What about that, you're going to be hungry. Do you want to cheat? ”

An Sui hurriedly shook his head, "Don't, I asked the other new female officials privately, and everyone almost didn't finish it." I think this should be extremely difficult to complete in such a short period of time, and it has always been possible that the aunts may have done it on purpose, so as to test us, if we honestly say that we haven't done it, maybe it's just some small punishment, if it's bullying, I'm afraid it's a big deal. After all, in the palace, it's okay to be stupid, but I'm afraid that those who have a little crooked thoughts will not be able to tolerate it. ”

Liu Qin thought carefully in his heart, "That's true, what Sui'er said makes sense." If we haven't done it, we haven't done it, so we don't have to make the aunts unhappy for this, and we feel that there is a diaphragm in our hearts. ”

An Sui nodded.

The two of them packed up and went to Xiwen Hall, most of the new female officials had already arrived, and many female officials took out the palace rules to make the last temporary cramming.

Feng Wurong gently pulled the corner of Liu Qin's clothes, "Are you all done?" ”

Liu Qin shook his head, "Naturally, no." ”

Aunt He coughed lightly, and all the female officials immediately quieted down, each lowering their heads and not daring to make a sound.

The female officer sat down on the main seat, and the remaining aunts sat down on the lower seat.

The female official said, "Two days ago, the official gave orders, and today will be the assessment." ”

More than 20 new female officials were all sent out and entered the inner hall one by one for assessment, and An Sui was the first one.

The female official looked at An Sui, "What is written in Article 132 of the palace rules?" Recite it out and listen to it. ”

An Sui bowed his head, "Article 132 of the palace rules, if a female official commits a crime, slander, rumor, run, deception, overstepping, or acting on behalf of the authority, she will be stripped of her position and handed over to the female official in charge of the punishment department, and she will be punished for her crimes, and she will be expelled from the palace and will not be hired again for life." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"This is a strict order for female officials to be cautious in their words and deeds, not to say much, let alone to say words that are contrary to their duties and status, words should be to persuade as their own responsibility, discipline themselves to persuade others, to be able to suppress the palace."

"How, then, do you think you can do that?"

"See more, think more, listen more, but don't say much, and would rather not say anything than give someone a handle."

The female official asked, "You just said that the words of female officials should take precedence over words of persuasion, but now you can't say much?" ”

"There is a saying in "Shangli", 'the first thing to do is to do it' The words of persuasion should be said, but before that, it should be followed by proper behavior. If the behavior is right, then the words are not necessary and prestigious. ”

The female officer nodded, "Yes, let's go out." ”

An Sui bowed slightly, then exited the inner hall to the other side to wait for the results. Taking this opportunity, An casually reopened the palace rules and read them again, of course, not for endorsement, which has never been difficult for her, she has had the ability to never forget since she was a child. She was born in Jindi, the folk customs are free and simple, and she never knew the huge pressure brought by the word rules.

She looked at it for a while, and more and more female officials came out around her, and when Liu Qin came out, she looked frightened and patted An Sui, "Sui'er, haven't you memorized it yet?" ”

An Sui raised his head, "Take a look at it, maybe you will forget it!" ”

"What kind of question is it about teaching female officials to test you?"

"Article 132 of the palace rules, let me tell me what it means, what did she ask you?"

"I'm lucky, I'm asking about Article 60, and I've just memorized it."

Ann smiled casually.

After a short time, the female officials came out, and the new female officials did not dare to speak out, and their expressions were nervous. Teaching female officials to sit on the top position, "There are not many people who can pass guò in today's assessment, more than 20 female officials, only three of them can pass guò, An Sui, Qiao Qiao, Liu Qin, the three of you answered well, I don't know if the palace rules that you were ordered to copy have also been copied?" ”

Qiao Qiao bent down slightly, "If you return to your lord's words, you have already copied it." ”

All the female officials whispered, and the female officer chuckled, "Really? Then you won't be punished. What about the other two? ”

An said casually, "Back to the adult's words, Weichen has not finished it. ”

Liu Qin also lowered his head, "Neither does Weichen." ”

The female official glanced at the two of them, "Since this is the case, they will also be punished, when will they finish copying, and when will they be able to eat." After two days, all the female officers will be assessed again, including those who have already passed the guò today, and tomorrow they will begin to learn etiquette. ”

The female officials got up and left, and the female officials had to kneel down and salute, "Congratulations to your lordship." ”
