The one who came to Lingfu to pick up Ling Jingshu into the palace was the female official of Jiaofang Palace.

This female official is about twenty years old, with a slender figure and a delicate appearance. When he didn't smile, he seemed to have a three-point smile, and when he saw Ling Jingshu, he took her hand affectionately and said, "Miss Ling, my name is Ruilian, and the queen specially ordered me to pick you up into the palace." ”

Ling Jingshu had been in and out of the Jiaofang Palace three times, and she had some impression of Ruilian's face, knowing that this was Queen Xu's confidant, so she couldn't be lazy, so she hurriedly smiled: "In the future, we will all be on an errand by the queen's mother's side, and Sister Ruilian will just call me Ashu." ”

Ruilian pursed her lips and smiled, and responded generously: "It's okay." How old are I when I am you, so I cheekily responded to this Sister Ruilian. After a pause, he said: "There are many rules in the palace, and I will talk to you in detail when I get into the carriage later." ”

Ling Jingshu thanked her with a smile, then officially said goodbye to everyone and got into the carriage with Ruilian.

The carriage faded away, and after turning a corner, it was soon gone.

Ling Xiao endured for a long time, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Ling Ji sighed lightly and patted Ling Xiao's shoulder: "Ah Xiao, don't be too sad. Ah Shu is smart and clever, and she is quite favored by the queen. After entering the Jiaofang Palace, he will definitely be able to win the hearts of his mother quickly, and there will be nothing wrong. ”

I hope so!

Ling Xiao wiped his tears with his sleeve and snorted.

Ling Ji smiled again and encouraged: "You promised Ah Shu that you must study hard and be admitted to the Guozijian as soon as possible." There is still more than a month left before the time of the assessment, so you have to work hard. ”

"Cousin reminds me." Ling Xiao nodded vigorously: "I'll go back to my house to study." ”

Ling Wuye rarely showed his love as a father: "Ah Xiao, I will also accompany you to review. If there's something you won't do, just open your mouth and ask me. ”

Ling Wuye is also from a good background, and he is quite accomplished in the articles on scripture and history. It's just that in recent years, I like poetry and songs, and I rarely read books and write articles seriously.

Ling Xiao's affection for his father was very limited, and he responded indifferently when he heard this, without showing a grateful look.

Ling Wuye felt a little unhappy in his heart, and after thinking about it, Ling Xiao and Ling Jingshu had a deep relationship between sisters and brothers, and it was the first time in so many years that they had separated. It is inevitable that Ling Xiao will be in a bad mood.

He is a father, can he still deal with his son?

Thinking of this, the unhappiness in Ling Wuye's heart quickly faded.

……

"There are more than fifty attendants in the Jiaofang Palace, and the number of palace maids is slightly larger, a total of eighty. The head of the chamberlain is surnamed Sun, and he is in charge of all the chamberlains, and when you see him in the future, just call Grandpa Sun. Father-in-law Sun is in charge of all the external affairs in the Jiaofang Palace. As for the affairs in the Jiaofang Palace, several female officials were in charge of it. ”

Ruilian really didn't break her promise, and after getting into the carriage, she talked about the personnel in the Jiaofang Hall for Ling Jingshu in detail.

"There are five female officials in the Jiaofang Palace, and each female official is in charge of more than a dozen palace maids. Everyone has their own division of labor and their own duties. ”

"Yao Huang is in charge of the food and refreshments in the Jiaofang Palace, Xue Su is in charge of the needlework and clothing, and Luo Yan is in charge of the duty and vigil in the Jiaofang Palace."

"Qiushuang has the most palace maids under her hands, and she does the most heavy work. She is in charge of all the sprinkling and cleaning of all the houses in the Jiaofang Palace, and she also has to take care of the warehouse. ”

In other words, Queen Xu alone has more than 100 people around her!

Ling Jingshu silently wrote down this, and asked with a tentative smile, "I don't know what Sister Ruilian is responsible for?" ”

Ruilian smiled slightly: "The queen mother is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and no one is allowed to run errands on weekdays. I was too poor to do anything else, so I was given these errands and trivial tasks. ”

This is clearly self-effacement.

Being able to pass on the word to various palaces on behalf of Queen Xu shows Queen Xu's respect and trust in Ruilian. Among several female officials, Ruilian's status is undoubtedly the highest.

If you want to gain a quick foothold in the Jiaofang Palace, you must not offend Ruilian in front of you.

"Sister Ruilian is so humble."

Ling Jingshu's eyes were full of admiration: "This errand represents the face of the queen mother, if it weren't for the queen mother's special trust, she would definitely not hand over such an important errand to my sister." I was young and ignorant, so I will ask Sister Ruilian for more guidance in the future. lest I accidentally do something wrong and make my mother unhappy. ”

Ruilian walks in the palace on weekdays, and most of them flatter and curry favor with her, and she will never pour out her heart when she hears two flattering words. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "In the future, we will all be on errands by my mother's side, and we will meet day and night every day, don't say these polite words." ”

"I'm just taking advantage of what I came a few years ago. With your wisdom and skill, in time, you will be far better than me. ”

Ruilian said, and smiled kindly: "The palace maids and female officials in the Jiaofang Palace are only selected once every three years. You are favored by the queen's mother, and you were specially summoned to the palace to accompany you, and your status is different from ours. ”

Ling Jingshu immediately expressed the humility and respect of the latecomers: "Sister Ruilian said this, I am really scared. ”

"It was a surprise to me to win the favor of the queen. Being fortunate enough to enter the palace on an errand is the grace of the queen's mother, and it is also the blessing of my previous life. I was at a loss for what was going on in the palace, and I didn't understand anything. In the future, I will ask Sister Ruilian for advice on everything. I always look at my sister's horse. ”

Sure enough, he is a smart man with raised eyebrows and eyes.

In such a short period of time, she judged her status in the Jiaofang Palace, showing respect and sincerity for her as a "senior".

With her care, Ling Jingshu was able to quickly understand and familiarize herself with the personnel in the Jiaofang Palace, and quickly gained a firm foothold.

In this way, there is no fear of Yao Huang Qiushuang and a few of them.

A knowing smile flashed in Ruilian's eyes, but she didn't say anything immediately, only said with a smile: "This is not deserved." In the future, we will be on an errand together by my mother's side, and it is natural for us to mention something to each other. I can't afford to teach the horse. ”

Ling Jingshu didn't expect to befriend Ruilian in just a few moments.

What he did just now was just a show of his sincerity and obedience. It can be regarded as a respect for the predecessors.

As long as Ruilian doesn't deliberately make things difficult and doesn't secretly stumble on her, this step is considered to be the right one.

The two talked and laughed and chatted all the way, and when they arrived at the palace gate, as soon as Ruilian appeared, the guard guarding the door didn't even look at the waist card, so he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Miss Ruilian, open the palace gate quickly." ”

On an errand in the palace, who doesn't know that Ruilian is the first proud female official by Queen Xu's side?

Ruilian thanked her with a smile, and turned around to greet Ling Jingshu: "Come in with me!" ”

Ling Jingshu replied and silently followed. (To be continued.) )
