On the eve of entering the court, Nine-Tails walked in with a basket of grass cassia and said, "Miss, grass cassia has brought it to you." It's so late, what do you want to do with these? "A few days ago, when the young lady asked him if there was any cotton or cassia in the house, he only knew about the grass cassia and went to buy it.

"You'll find out later." Chu Qingluo happily took the cassia seed, poured it into the cloth bag that had already been sewn, quickly sewed the mouth shut, and then placed it flat at the head of the bed. Picked up the porcelain pillow and handed it to the Nine-Tails: "Oh, take this away." It's too hard for me to sleep. "For the past few days, she has slept on a pillow in the corner of the futon.

"Miss wants to pillow this?" Nine-Tails was surprised.

"Yes." Chu Qingluo immediately lay down and tried it, and sighed: "It would be perfect if there was cotton." Go ahead, I'm asleep. ”

"Okay." Today's young lady has strange behaviors and thoughts, but it seems to be smarter than before, and Nine-Tails chuckled and helped her lead the door.

A good night's sleep.

Chu Qingluo's entry into the court is the top priority of the Chu family. The genius was slightly bright, and Chu's mother led twenty or thirty people from the Chu family to see Chu Qingluo off at the main gate.

"Be careful." Chu Mu explained.

"Third sister, I wish you every step of the way." Chu Yinuo also smiled and leaned in.

Only Chu Yilin was sleepy-eyed: "Isn't she not coming back, can she say goodbye?" ”

Chu Mu glared at him obliquely: "What do you know, this is a first-class honor to be an official in the court." ”

"Mother, I'm going to the court."

Chu Qingluo was wearing an executive official uniform - a light purple cross-collar slim narrow-sleeved long skirt with a dark purple half-sleeved shirt. She saluted Chu Mu slightly, and Chu Mu nodded with satisfaction. Finally, under their watchful eyes, they stepped on the carriage into the court. Nine-tails and Kiriki immediately jumped up and helped her catch the car.

This day is the day when the new executive officer enters the dynasty, and with Chu Qingluo, a total of ten women are assembled at the palace gate. After a while, an elderly woman came, first took a booklet to verify her identity one by one, and then took the ten of them into the palace together. It wasn't until after seeing Chu Qingluo's figure disappear at the gate of the palace that the Nine Tails and Tongmu drove back to the Chu Mansion.

"Hello, my name is Chu Qingluo." She looked at the woman walking behind her of her of age, her appearance was lovely, and she had a humble smile on her face, and she was very kind, so she took the initiative to say hello.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, and replied in a low voice, "Miss Chu is good." My name is Mo Peony, and you can also call me Peony. ”

The older woman led the group to the Frost Hall, where a woman in a blue official uniform was waiting for them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the second seventh rank official - Qin Mei, you can call me Aunt Qin. In the next month, I will give you the first lesson, and then you will have a closed study in the palace. ”

"Thank you, Auntie." Chu Qingluo followed everyone and saluted Aunt Qin.

"Now, two people in a room, put your belongings in the house first. Don't stay, just leave it and come back. Aunt Qin looked stern and did not smile.

After hearing this, the ten people quickly ran to the room they were fanciing. Chu Qingluo sent an invitation to Peony: "Why don't we live in one room." Peony agreed.

After they put down their things, they didn't dare to delay at all. Aunt Qin led them into the inner hall, where more than a dozen sunken wood tables were placed, and Chu Qingluo felt that it looked like a classroom. They could choose their own position to sit down, and Peony naturally sat next to Chu Qingluo.

After they were all seated, Aunt Qin spoke: "This is an official in the court, first of all, you have to know the classification of the official rank. I'll explain to you now, what is not clear until I finish speaking, and then ask, do you understand? ”

Everyone nodded.

This female official has a total of ten ranks, which are divided into two types: the main grade and the inferior grade. Grades 1 to 6 are the positive grades, and grades 7 to 10 are the inferior grades. The first grade is the highest grade, and so on. There are corresponding executive officers under each rank, and the new executives are divided into the second rank, and only the capable ones will be promoted to the main rank, or directly promoted to the tenth rank.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they work for others, and the leaders do all the things that make the decision, and the leaders are also divided into middle-level leaders and upper-level leaders.

Food, drink, Lasa, food, clothing, housing and transportation in the palace, and all trivial and government affairs outside the palace are distributed. Chu Qingluo made a rough summary of Aunt Qin's words: the empress is the final boss, the first rank is equivalent to the assistant, the second grade is in charge of priests, the third grade is in charge of political affairs, the fourth grade is in charge of military, the fifth quality is in charge of finance, the sixth quality is in charge of internal affairs, the seventh quality is in charge of manpower, the eighth quality is in charge of poetry, books, etiquette and music, the ninth grade is in charge of clothing, and the tenth grade is in charge of imperial food.

"Next, you're going to choose which sub-tier to join." Aunt Qin's voice recalled Chu Qingluo's thoughts.

She majored in fashion design in college, and she was a model herself, so of course she should choose the second nine products the most suitable, but she hesitated when she thought of the advice that Chu Yilin had given her. But when it comes to meals, although she doesn't know anything about them, she is not particularly good at them. Let's choose what you're good at. So she gritted her teeth and finally chose the next ninth grade.

"Qingluo, did you choose the second nine grades?"

"Yes. What about you? ”

"I don't know which one to choose." Peony has been hesitant and undecided.

"If you're interested in or relatively good at, choose whichever you want." Chu Qingluo gave the building yì.

"Then I'll choose the same one with you." Peony is a little interested in jewelry, and besides, she can also be a companion with Qingluo, so she also chose the second nine products.

After choosing the grade, today's study is over.

On the second day, Aunt Qin took them to familiarize themselves with the environment in the palace, starting from the main gate where they walked yesterday. Chu Qingluo found that not all the women in the palace were women, on the contrary, the guards and entourage were all men, and the focus was ...... None of them were eunuchs.

Does the empress's dynasty need eunuchs? Of course not, she knows...... Hey

There are hundreds of large and small palaces, and the large pillars of the palace are mainly red, and there are also carved phoenixes entrenched on them. This is completely different from the Forbidden City she visited, there are many very feminine places here in addition to solemnity, such as flowers and trees everywhere along the way, and the palace furnishings are also exquisite.

The Fengluan Hall where the empress is located is in the most central position, and the palace of her deliberations and court meetings is in the Qingming Hall closest to the palace gate. So she would be invited back and forth by eight sedan chairs every day. The Imperial Garden is located in the southwest of the palace, and next to it is the Yongle Hall, where banquets are usually held. It feels like you can go to the imperial garden to breathe if you drink too much in the Yongle Palace, this design is humanized, Chu Qingluo silently praised it in his heart.

The best and most user-friendly thing is that each palace has a supporting bath. If you want, there are people who can provide you with hot water and flower scattering service 24 hours a day. Chu Qingluo's heart is called a surging, it is simply a resort! Of course, this size and luxury Cheng dù must not be compared to Huaqing Pond in the Fengluan Palace.

It's a pity that none of these female officials live in the palace, and the tenth-rank female officials have mansions given by the empress outside the palace, and they only occasionally stay in the palace. After these executives finish this month's study, they also have to go back to their own homes to find their own mothers, just like coming to work here every day. Therefore, the people who live in this palace are the empress and her children, male attendants and attendants, and so on. It's a bit of a tyrannical thing......

After having a general understanding of the corners of the palace, the ten of them were going to study at the inferior level they had chosen before.

Chu Qingluo and Peony happened to be companions, and they came to the garment pavilion they had just visited from memory. There were a lot of men and women busy, and the women were dressed like theirs, and they were the executive officers who entered the palace before them. These people did not stop their work because of the arrival of the two of them.

The two slowly walked through the middle of them to the cabinet, where a woman was sitting at the table, staring at a piece of fabric on the table. This woman is also quite young, not much older than them. Chu Qingluo found that the official uniform on her body was different from Aunt Qin's official uniform, and she was dark green.

"Sister Ziyou." The two saluted the woman tacitly.

The woman looked up at the sound and looked at them.

"We are all newcomers, please give Sister Ziyou more advice." The two then introduced themselves to the woman.

Li Ziyou nodded, and he still understood etiquette. said: "Do you see the executive officer who is busy outside?" When the two of them nodded, they said, "Go and learn from them now, and learn every kind, and they will teach you." ”

When I just came in, I found that the East Pavilion was making ornaments, the West Pavilion was doing sewing, and the smell of dye came from the innermost part of the West Pavilion, and it seemed that someone was dyeing cloth. Seeing Li Ziyou say this, the two of them didn't care so much, and immediately devoted themselves to the simplest study.

The long day is finally over...... The two dragged their tired bodies back into the dormitory.

"Peony, my right hand is going to be wasted, and my eyes are going to be blind." Although she studied fashion design, she was still tormented by the needlework of embroidery.

"How can it be so exaggerated?" For peony, who has been good at embroidery since childhood, it is not difficult.

"Why not?! Didn't you see that I was about to be scolded to death by that seventh aunt? ”

Peony smiled: "The one you embroidered is also called a flower?" It's normal to be scolded. ”

"That's because she's too demanding!" The flowers she embroidered were obviously very good, but they took a long time. "No matter what, I'm going to take a bath." At this time, only a bath can bring her back to life.

As soon as he entered the bath, Chu Qingluo was stunned. When she was in Chu Mansion, Jiuwei and Tongmu also planned to serve her to bathe, but she refused, so she was somewhat mentally prepared, but the picture in front of her was still beyond imagination!

The entire bath was steaming hot, and a group of topless men bathed a few of the executives who arrived first. Some of them helped rub their backs, and some helped scatter flowers...... even whispered to them from time to time!

In addition to the destruction of five, six, seven and eight views, the festival was also shattered! This Nima is simply a male version of heaven and earth! It's so open! Even if it's a modern mixed-sex hot spring, at least wear a swimsuit, this open Cheng dù is to go to heaven...... Even a modern person as open as she had to gasp a few times, she was losing.

Chu Qingluo picked up the chin that fell on the ground and wanted to withdraw, but was pulled by the peony next to him: "Where are you going?" Didn't you just shout for a bath? ”

“…… I'll come back later. She swallowed.

"You forgot? When the time comes, it's time for the man to take a bath. Oooh...... Don't you want to dominate the man in this Frost Palace? Peony had a knowing expression.

"I think it's better to take a bath with you now." Depend on! Women in ancient times weren't afraid of her, they were afraid of a fart! When the model changes clothes in the backfield, there are also many men there, Chu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, just treat them as costumers, so it's much more embarrassing.

She followed the example of the peony, handed the dress she had taken off to the male attendant standing by the pool, and then soaked her whole body in the pool, and the rose petals were spread on the water, alleviating her embarrassment.

A man in his twenties, with a peugeot-looking appearance, leaned over to them: "My lord, do you need me to dredge the meridians for you?" ”

Peony smiled and glanced at Chu Qingluo: "You help her get through, she needs it." ”

Chu Qingluo wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, this is all here, and besides, don't masseurs also have men. Then he said, "Please help me pinch my shoulders and arms." ”

The man smiled slightly: "Adults don't have to say please, it's Ziyan's honor to serve adults." Before the voice fell, the fingers were already lightly placed on her shoulders and squeezed skillfully.
