Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Bond
It is said that before anyone sees it, it hears its voice, and this voice is very pleasant, which makes the girls standing with their backs full of curiosity.
It's a pity that like me, everyone is now teaching the rules for the first time after entering the palace.
Without the permission of the female officer, no one dared to turn around and take a look.
Even though it's so close, I want to do it in my heart
The suspense didn't last long, and after a few words of greetings, the identity of the person at the Hanging Flower Gate was about to come out.
Isn't it the two girls in the car who are talking about who else?
I heard the female official's voice greet him respectfully, and I also gave a general description of the situation of the girls who entered the palace election this time.
The man's voice was still smiling, and his unhurried voice sounded very gentle.
I also feel that such a detailed explanation is likely to mean that in the empress's harem at the moment, it is the one who is in charge of harem affairs.
The emperor of Lin De Palace, on the surface, is the highest-ranking man in the palace at the moment!
Frowning slightly, I suddenly remembered Ji Jiu, he had been away from the palace for a few years, and it was difficult for the people in the capital city to remember him, and someone mentioned him twice just now.
It is rumored that he was the most favored emperor of Chaohua at that time.
For some reason, since the empress ascended the throne, the throne has been vacant
I had a feeling from the bottom of my heart, except for the voice hurt after the accident a few years ago, Ji Jiu's voice was incomparable to the one by the Hanging Flower Gate, but the tone of his speech, even the gentleness with a smile, was very similar to the feeling of seeing Ji Jiu for the first time.
When I thought of this, my body shook slightly, and I was undoubtedly more curious about the person's appearance.
The conversation between the female officer and him did not last long. Soon he said with some tiredness: "I will go to see His Majesty in a while." ”
"The people here, after training, send two to my place."
"Yes." The female officer saluted again and respectfully saw him off
Rubbing their sore legs, the two girls on the opposite side of the bunk quietly began to talk about the episode by the hanging flower door. I think that in the current "barracks", I am afraid that nine out of ten rooms are talking about this.
They are all girls of the same age and youth, and this topic can shorten the original distance between them.
Gu Lan closed the door, walked to the side of me and Gu Qimei, and whispered, "Qimei." Have you heard of the Emperor of the Lin De Palace? ”
The two of them are relatively better aware of the things in the palace in the same room, and I and the other girl are only listening.
"Last fall, two palace maids in his palace went missing, and later their bodies were found in the Taiye Pool."
I was stunned. Looking at Gu Lan's gaze, it became very complicated.
This kind of secret affairs in the palace are usually strictly guarded, and it is strictly forbidden for people in the palace to chew their tongues and tell right and wrong, where did Gu Lan's news come from?
Seeing that I and the other two were looking at her with puzzled eyes, she lowered her voice and said, "The girl who lives next door to my house is the girl who used to be on an errand in the palace, and she has just been released this year. Got married the previous month. "Before she entered the palace, she was the best friend of me, so when she got married. I also went to see her off. "She whispered to me." "At that time, she also said that if you can enter the palace and have a choice, try not to go to the Lin De Palace, over there," she omitted the subtext she wanted to say. His tone changed, "It's a pity that I don't have a choice." Wherever it goes, it's where it is. ”
I reflected on what she had just said, and was about to ask. was still preempted by Gu Qimei. "The imperial monarch of the Lin De Hall is the most favored by His Majesty in the past two years, and I heard that his gestures are similar to the previous imperial monarch of Chaohua, so he is favored for a while."
My eyelids jumped, and I looked up at her, listening intently to what she had to say.
"The rewards received by the palace maids on errand in the Lin De Hall are also incomparable to the palace maids in all parts of the palace."
"That's reasonable," I thought for a moment, interjecting with a smile, "and the risk is proportional to the benefit." ”
"What strange thing did Sister Xiaoling say?" Gu Lan said puzzled.
"Ah," I said, sloppily, "I'm just talking about it, talking about it." ”
Gu Qimei walked around the room, confirmed that the door outside was closed tightly, and went to the window to take a look.
I have to learn something from this sister quickly.
There was a trace of doubt in my heart, and I always felt that her appearance after entering the palace was a little different from the time I first met her at the mouth of the alley, as if she was a different person.
Or maybe she deliberately hid her original personality in front of a stranger at that time, it was the defensiveness brought by the unfamiliar sense of distance, I found a reason for her to excuse herself, and I didn't think much about it.
That little bit of affection is fleeting.
Gu Qimei said to Gu Lan: "There are many palace maids in the Linde Palace, there are always exceptions to everything, and most of them can end their two-year palace life peacefully. “
She stood in front of Gu Lan and said in a gentle tone: "Either like you, who is small and has accumulated a sum of silver as a dowry when he left the palace, or like the follower who is now beside the general of the Northland, I heard that the empress and the general are interested in promoting her to be the sole leader after the war." ”
"She's only been in the army for just over a year."
"She was promoted from the Lin De Palace, and she also came in as a palace maid."
"I haven't stayed in the Lin De Palace, just based on speculation from the outside, sometimes it may not be accurate."
Gu Qimei's simple words made me feel a sigh in my heart, is this a good way to be promoted? Is it really good?
If even the most powerful army and the people in power have an inseparable relationship with the emperor and nobles in the harem, and the tie is involved, is the empress willing to see the harem interfere in politics?
I temporarily had a question in my heart, and I was a little nostalgic for the days in the small courtyard, even if it was a sudden idea, as long as I told those people, someone would always talk to me.
It's not like here, you can't talk to anyone.
"Those two palace maids who fell into the water may have some unknown reasons, not necessarily because of the emperor."
Gu Qimei continued. also reached out and patted Gu Lan's shoulder, invisibly, she became the backbone of this room.
"Oh, the voice he just walked to the door of the weeping flower while we were standing, it sounded so gentle."
The youngest girl in the house, Wei Mingzhu, is pretty. Blinking his bright big eyes, he reminisced and said, "Maybe people don't know the situation, or maybe they are jealous of the palace maid who works in the Lin De Palace, so they made it up." ”
This girl was new to us, and she had only come to us after another of our first-time roommates had been replaced by the next room.
There are girls who have been eliminated in the process of discipline. It's just in the afternoon.
"I really want to go there, I don't know if I can choose it, I have to show myself well these days, and I have to talk to the female official's sister more, so that she can impress me.
"That's it. Maybe I can go and ask her to send me to the Hall of Lunde. ”
Wei Mingzhu lay down on the chuang bunk, put his hands behind his head, looked at the roof and said with longing: "You have heard so much news in the palace, haven't you heard that the emperor of the Lin De Hall has the best appearance in the harem?" "I still passed by the rockery on the way back, and I heard someone whispering."
"I really want to see what he looks like, it's a shame to see him today, it's a shame that I haven't seen it."
She said a series of words, and added a few regrets in a row, and I caught a glimpse of Gu Qimei and Gu Lan exchanging glances. All with a smile. "Sister Xiaoling, neither of them wants to go to the Lin De Palace, what about you?"
Wei Mingzhu's head turned to me. asked. "Me," I said, stroking my very slumped brow, after a moment's silence, "I don't particularly want to go, but there are the ones I want to go." "Where?" "Where?" Several of them asked in unison.
My gaze circled around their faces. Leaned his back lazily against the wall and smiled: "Shang Shi Bureau." “
Their unexpected answer caused laughter in the room, and the girls in the next room came out to see what was going on. "Don't laugh. The Shang Shi Bureau has its own benefits of the Shang Shi Bureau. "The good thing is that you never go hungry and you can eat a bunch of delicious food." Wei Mingzhu raised an eyebrow at me and said. "When my sister goes, remember to bring me some delicious snacks." "I heard that even the empress is full of praise for the dim sum made by the Shang Food Bureau, and she has to bring it with her every time she leaves the palace." "Okay, I'll bring you a lot of stuff, okay?" I looked at her with a smile and said, "Two years over there, if I can worship an imperial chef as a master, when I leave the palace, I can open a restaurant on the busiest street in the national capital." ”
I snapped my fingers and said, "When the time comes, you can also come to eat when you become female officials, and if you get married, you will come to eat with your husband and children." ”
"Just take care of my business."
The rules of instruction continued until the fourth day, and almost every girl lost a lot of weight, and those who couldn't hold it took some money and went home directly.
It is rare that Wei Mingzhu, who is the smallest in the same room and looks the most delicate, can hold on, and when I praise her, she blushed and said embarrassedly: "Sister Xiaoling, I want to go to the Lin De Palace, but I haven't been able to see the emperor yet, how can I leave." ”
"You have to hold on to everything, leave now, and the hardships ahead will be in vain."
Gu Qimei, as the boss of this gang, has always used a calm and calm style to complete her daily training.
What surprised me even more was that as the one with the best family background, she was able to complete things like tidying up the house very quickly, which was better than Gu Lan, who usually worked at home.
Gu Lan is bent on going to the Shangyi Bureau, she is the eldest daughter in the family, and her mother is in the cloth business in the national capital, if she can get to that place, it will be like a fish in water, and it is just an opportunity to learn in advance
The queue in the courtyard was four rows, and by the sixth day there was one less row, and now there were three rows.
The female officer in charge of discipline swept around everyone's faces with a stern gaze, looked over one by one, and when she saw the faces of individual people, she paused.
After reading it, there was a moment of silence, and then she said, "There are three days left, and you will be assigned a place!" (To be continued)
