On his first day in office. Chu Qingluo changed into the gorgeous yellow official uniform, the shoulders and skirt were embroidered with peony flower dark patterns, and the placket and wide waist seal were purple. One-size-fits-all wears on the body, properly.

After changing into this outfit, I found that the fabric that fits the skin is much more comfortable and breathable than the executive officer's official uniform. Only then did she realize what it meant to be a hierarchy.

Chu Qingluo was apprehensive in his heart, and waited on the platform outside the Qingming Hall early in the morning. On the red pillars on both sides are golden phoenixes with wings spreading, and their tails are slightly upturned, vivid.

Under the steps, the carved blue bricks extend all the way outward to the Taihe Gate. Further out, through the 100-meter corridor is the palace gate. When passing by here before, Chu Qingluo just had the mentality of admiring the monument and sighed at its grandeur and magnificence. But now, she feels more of its solemnity, which makes her feel awe.

About a quarter of an hour later, the other female officers also arrived.

Gongsun Ruyi saw Chu Qingluo who was anxious at a glance, and stepped forward to greet her first: "Lord Chu is so early. ”

"Lord Gongsun." Chu Qingluo hurriedly saluted.

Fortunately, there are one or two acquaintance tenth-order female officials who can talk, otherwise they are really cold and embarrassed.

"Yesterday...... Let the adults bother. Chu Qingluo was referring to congratulatory gifts.

Gongsun Ruyi smiled knowingly: "It should be." ”

As he was talking, Chu Qingluo found that Li Ziyou had also arrived, raised his hand again, and nodded: "Sister Ziyou......"

Li Ziyou frowned slightly, quickly let go, and saluted: "Lord Chu, don't torture me." ”

Chu Qingluo's sixth-rank identity is a few steps higher than Li Ziyou's second-ninth-grade identity, and it should be Li Ziyou's salute.

"......" Hearing her say this, Chu Qingluo's embarrassment was committed again, and he didn't know how to react at the moment.

It's all because this official position of the sixth rank came too abruptly, so that she was so weak-hearted.

"Master Chu doesn't have to mind, just call me by my name in the future." Li Ziyou really saw it, after all, she had long expected that Chu Qingluo would rise to prominence today.

"Okay." Since Li Ziyou is a quick talker, Chu Qingluo no longer worries about what to call her.

At this time, the three princesses also arrived, and the platform was a little more lively.

The eighth princess went straight to Chu Qingluo: "Qingluo, I really didn't expect that one day you would stand here and stand side by side with me." ”

I didn't hear much kindness in these words, but the eighth princess patted her on the shoulder very affectionately, as if she was congratulating her.

The fourth princess and the sixth princess on the side couldn't help but look sideways......

"Xuan Zhongchen enters the temple—"

With this high-pitched summons, Chu Qingluo's heart had already jumped to his throat. She took a deep breath, and under the prompting of Gongsun Ruyi, she followed closely behind Yao Man, the fourth rank official, and walked into the Qingming Palace......

The vast and towering palace is empty and quiet. Especially when he just walked in from outside the hot hall, there was a cold feeling piercing his body, and Chu Qingluo couldn't help but shudder.

The empress was dressed in a black and gold floor-length robe, with a phoenix double flying gold crown on her head, sitting high on a phoenix chair inlaid with colorful gemstones, looking down at the courtiers who came together.

The female officials stood in two columns on the red carpet in the hall, while the princesses stood at the forefront, just across the steps from the empress.

Chu Qingluo's position is on the left, and in front of her are Yao Man, the fourth grade, Yu Fei, and the eighth princess. Behind her is the second eight grades of Yu Art, and the second ten grades of Jianghua.

Gongsun Ruyi's position is in the right column, side by side with Chu Qingluo. There was one empty position in front of her, and Li Ziyou was two positions behind her, and there was a second-grade Qin Mei between them.

Qin Mei was the first tenth-order female official that Chu Qingluo came into contact with when she first entered the palace, but her position at this time was not good to call her 'Aunt Qin' anymore.

In other words, the female officials are arranged in the order of one, three, five, two, four, six. Then, the vacant position must be the third grade of Pan Yin. Chu Qingluo didn't know that Pan Yin was sent by the empress to Biancheng for disaster relief at the moment, so he was a little surprised, but he was only secretly surprised.

"Long live the saints, long live, long live, long live—"

"The ministers are exempt. Where is the new female official of Zhengliupin? As soon as the empress spoke, she said this first.

Chu Qingluo was stunned, stiffened, and took two steps towards the middle: "Xiaguan Chu Qingluo, thank you for your grace!" ”

The Empress looked at her quietly...... found that Chu Qingluo's hair only had a minimalist bead flower. Although she is much cleaner than Ji Jie, who was standing in that position before, her deliberate low-key nature can't hide her dusty temperament.

The corners of the empress's red mouth hooked: "Okay." If there is any difficulty in your new office, even if you open your mouth, these Aiqing of mine will not shirk it. ”

Suddenly, a shot in the arm made the female officials look at each other. There has never been a female official who has been so favored when she took office, and it seems that the empress really appreciates Chu Qingluo very much.

Chu Qingluo was flattered, and hurriedly thanked him again. With a slight wave of the empress's gesture, she retreated to her place.

"What's going on today?"

"Shengshang, about Ji Jie and Wu Lian's case of selling officials...... Don't know when to go into exile? "The first topic to be brought up is the four princesses.

Ji Jie fell into the well, and the fourth princess still had to throw stones into the well. The fire in the eighth princess's heart was burning for a while, and the afterglow was cold.

The empress frowned, and decided: "Pass the order, let the two of them set off at noon today." "Ji Jie has been in charge of Guangrentang for ten years, if it weren't for her insatiable desire and insatiable greed, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Chu Qingluo's mind came to mind Ji Jie's face with high cheekbones, as well as her ardent expectations for Ji Qili......

The sins you have done yourself should always be repaid by yourself.

……

At the court meeting, Long Kui was reporting to the empress that the music had been passed down from all over the country.

"Poof-" With a sound, the sixth princess suddenly fainted to the ground under the stunned eyes of everyone. Frightened, the empress stood up directly: "Quickly pass the medical officer!" ”

All of a sudden, the entourage and the medical officers rushed one after another.

An experienced female medical officer first helped the sixth princess press twice before she regained consciousness. The medical officer continued to help her take her pulse, and after a while, he said to the empress: "Holy one, great joy! Princess Anyang is more than two months pregnant! ”

"What?!" The eighth princess was the first to exclaim, losing her sense of proportion. The fourth princess also opened her mouth slightly, and her face was like mud.

The empress was very happy, and reproached with concern: "Anyang, you have been a mother, don't you know that you are pregnant?" ”

The sixth princess straightened up with the support of her entourage and replied: "The Holy Lord forgives the sins, Anyang already knows, but I just want to wait for three months before reporting to the Holy Lord." ”

"Since you are pregnant, I allow you to rest more in the future, and if you feel unwell in the future, you don't have to come to the court."

"Thank you, Holy Lord." The sixth princess raised her hand again.

At this moment, the eyes of the eighth princess who had not yet come out were staring at the flat belly of the sixth princess, and she was very anxious...... Even a skinny person like the sixth sister has a third child, why is her own belly so unhappy? If this continues, when will the phoenix heir be born? If the sixth sister is a phoenix heir...... Wouldn't that be the most competitive of the three? It's a big deal!
