After walking a long way, I finally arrived at the Jiaofang Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the main entrance of the Jiaofang Palace, a woman in palace clothes came to meet him.

This woman looked two or three years older than Ruilian, her skin was slightly dark, her appearance was pretty, her eyes were quite flexible, and her eyes were quite charming, and she smiled before she spoke: "Ruilian, this is Miss Ling!" Sure enough, the flowers and the moon are beautiful. Don't be unhappy if you don't like it. In the past, you were the most outstanding and top-notch in our Jiaofang Palace. Now that Miss Ling is here, you have to give up the position of the first beauty. ”

Listening to affection, but there is provocation in every sentence.

Who is this woman?

Is it one of those female officials in Ruilian's mouth?

Ling Jingshu thought secretly in her heart, and a polite smile appeared on her face: "Sister Ruilian, I don't know what I should call this sister?" ”

Ruilian raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "She is the autumn frost I just mentioned." Two years older than me, you can just call Sister Qiushuang. ”

Ling Jingshu obediently stepped forward and shouted, "Sister Qiushuang." My girl's name is Ling Jingshu, you can just call me Auntie. ”

Qiu Shuang has the most people under him, responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of all the houses, and is also in charge of Queen Xu's treasury.

Obviously, this Qiu Shuang is also Queen Xu's henchman. Otherwise, Empress Xu would not have handed over her treasury to Qiushuang to be in charge. What is the relationship between Qiushuang and Ruilian is not visible at this time, and it remains to be observed slowly in the future.

"Auntie is such a good name, elegant and nice." Qiushuang smiled very enthusiastically: "You are new to the city, and you haven't received an errand yet. The queen mother went to the Zichen Palace and hasn't come back, I will lead you to the residence to settle down first, and when the queen comes back, you will go to ask for peace. ”

No matter what she thinks in her heart, people are so affectionate, Ling Jingshu wants to express her flattery: "Sister Qiushuang is so tired, I really can't go in my heart." ”

"There's nothing to worry about. If you're polite to me, you'll treat me like an outsider. Qiushuang took Ling Jingshu's hand and smiled at Ruilian: "Ruilian, the queen mother has instructed you to go to the Zichen Palace as soon as you come back." Auntie here, just leave it to me. ”

Ruilian nodded: "It's okay." ”

When the four eyes met, a look of mutual understanding quickly flashed.

Although Empress Xu did not explicitly say how to place Ling Jingshu, the female officials who have been able to serve by Empress Xu's side for many years are all shrewd and clever people.

Empress Xu took such great pains to summon Ling Jingshu into the palace, and the real reason was not as simple as it seemed. Before figuring out the situation, it would be better to be thoughtful and enthusiastic about Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu looked at the "eyebrows and eyes" of the two of them, and guessed a little bit of their thoughts, and calmed down a little.

Even the people around Empress Xu didn't know Queen Xu's intentions and intentions to summon her into the palace, and they didn't dare to be polite to her. In this way, her life is safe for the time being.

……

After Ruilian left, Qiushuang led Ling Jingshu to her residence.

There are many maids in the Jiaofang Palace, and there are four rows of rooms for the maids to live, and there are twenty rooms in each row, and two people live in each room.

Father-in-law Sun and several favored chamberlains had separate residences, and the five female officials also had their own residences.

"Ruilian Yao Huang and I live in this row of houses at the front. This room doesn't look big, and the interior is neatly furnished. ”

Qiushuang smiled and pointed to the room not far away to show Ling Jingshu, and said, "We are leading the errand in the Jiaofang Palace, and the position of this female official is not big, but it is not small. There is a fixed monthly routine every month, new clothes are made every season, and the queen mother often has a rich reward on weekdays. Over the course of a year, you can save a lot of money! ”

Ling Jingshu listened intently, very attentive.

This is where she is going to live. She has to adapt to the Qiē in the Jiaofang Hall in the fastest time!

Qiushuang led Ling Jingshu into the house.

Ling Jingshu took a look at it.

This room is indeed not big, but there are all kinds of beds, chairs, tables, stools, boxes and cabinets, and it looks quite clean. It can't be compared with your own boudoir. However, it is indeed passable to have this treatment when entering the palace on an errand.

Qiushuang said with a pleasant face: "Ashu, the queen mother specially instructed me a few days ago to let me lead someone to clean up your residence for you." Are you satisfied?

"Sister Lao Qiushuang is bothered." Ling Jingshu responded obediently: "This room is clean and elegant, I am very satisfied." ”

Qiushuang said with a smile: "There is an empty room next door, and these two maids are just left to live." A few of you settle down first, and when the queen mother returns, someone will call you. ”

Ling Jingshu smiled and responded.

……

As soon as Qiushuang left, the three masters and servants all breathed a sigh of relief.

When I first arrived in a strange place, I met all strange and unfamiliar faces, and it was impossible to say that I didn't feel a little apprehensive in my heart.

"Miss, this Ruilian girl and Qiushuang girl seem to be quite kind and kind." Bai Yu said in a low voice.

Qiaoyun took over the conversation in a low voice: "This may not be. Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, who can be an errand in this palace, who is not full of scheming people with two faces. Those who are intimate with you on the surface may not be sincere to you behind the scenes. ”

The slave maid looked at Miss Ruilian with a cold face, and Miss Qiushuang's eyes were too flexible, and she was not an easy person. The young lady should be more careful when dealing with them in the future. ”

Ling Jingshu nodded: "Don't worry, what to do, I know what to do." Bai Yu, you and Qiaoyun should also be more careful in the future, and be more cautious in what you say and do. We're new to the city, so we have to be careful in everything. ”

Bai Yu and Qiaoyun responded in unison.

The house had been cleaned up, but Bai Yu was still not at ease, and he and Qiaoyun cleaned it again inside and out.

Ling Jingshu wanted to do something, but Bai Yu stopped her: "These things can be done by slaves and maids, how can you let the young lady do it." ”

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly: "It's not as good as being at home now." Since he entered the palace on an errand, he will inevitably have to do the work of serving people in the future. Can't you two help you in everything? ”

Bai Yu was speechless, watching Ling Jingshu take the rag and clean up the dressing mirror. Looking at Ling Jingshu's slightly clumsy and rusty movements, the corners of Bai Yu's eyes suddenly moistened.

Miss has been pampered since she was a child, how could she ever do such a rough job?

Qiaoyun comforted Bai Yu in a low voice: "Bai Yu, what Miss said is right. Even if you enter the palace, you can't always think about your old life. People always have to look forward and adapt to the status quo as soon as possible, so that they can live better. ”

Bai Yu hummed and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
