Chapter 342: Responsibility (2)

Early the next morning.

Just after the fifth watch, Ling Jingshu got up to wash and change clothes.

Bai Yu and Qiao Yun also got up together, and after having breakfast in a hurry, they went to see Concubine Wei Xian together behind Ling Jingshu.

Concubine Li Shu was recuperating on the couch, and the phoenix seal in the palace was in charge of Concubine Wei Xian alone. All major and small matters in the palace must be reported to Concubine Wei Xian, and trivial matters in the palace must be decided by Concubine Wei Xian. also has to take care of the emperor's food, clothing and daily life, Concubine Wei Xian said that she was too busy to be too busy to be skilled, and it was not a lie.

When Ling Jingshu came to ask for peace, Xinyun and the others had already arrived.

Outside the Lingbo Palace, there were already many chief attendants and female officials waiting for Concubine Wei Xian to summon and report the matter. At most, about half an hour, the concubines of each palace will also come to Lingbo Hall one after another to ask for peace.

Concubine Wei Xian cheered up and thought about what she was going to be busy today, and at the same time, she didn't forget to ask Ling Jingshu with concern: "Are you still used to eating and living in Lingbo Palace?" If there's anything missing in the house, just talk to the main palace. ”

Concubine Wei Xian's tone of voice was different from that of Empress Xu. Her face is beautiful and elegant, her voice is soft and pleasant, and there is no slightest lofty posture, which makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Ling Jingshu's heart warmed, and she responded with a smile: "The slave is very used to it, thank you for your concern." ”

Concubine Wei Xian smiled: "You are new to the city, and you don't know how to be an errand yet. First stay by the side of the palace with Xinyun, watch and listen more, and don't know how to ask more. There is a shortage of manpower around this palace, and you can only get used to it for a few days at most. ”

Ling Jingshu responded with a smile.

……

Next, Ling Jingshu quietly followed Xinyun's side and observed attentively.

Whether it is an errand in the Jiaofang Palace, or an errand in the Zichen Palace, they are all forced to have no choice but to do it. She is cautious and careful, and does not want to make the slightest mistake. From the bottom of my heart, I am tired of rejection.

Now, she is grateful for Concubine Wei Xian's kindness and kindness to her, and she is bent on sharing her worries for Concubine Wei Xian, but she has the idea of doing things seriously.

Ling Jingshu was already thoughtful and calm, so she calmed down and listened carefully for three days, and she did learn a lot of useful things, and she also understood Concubine Wei Xian's work habits a little.

Compared with Empress Xu's dictatorship and domineering, Concubine Wei Xian acted much more gently and tactfully. When it comes to the use of each house, consider it carefully. Sometimes I know that the things reported by the chief eunuchs below are a bit boring, but I don't know what to do, and most of them are handled according to the usual practice.

This can also see Concubine Wei Xian's caution and caution.

In the final analysis, after all, she is only in charge of the phoenix seal, which is a bit unjustifiable. To put it mildly, one day the emperor set up another queen, and she, the virtuous concubine, had to obediently hand over the phoenix seal.

If the means are too sharp and ruthless, it will only end up with everyone complaining behind their backs. It's better to be gentle and drizzle, and slowly gather people's hearts.

In front of the concubines of the palace, Concubine Wei Xian never put on a show, and was still as kind and gentle as before.

However, since Wang Zhaorong was sent down, the concubines have been a lot more honest, and no one dares to show off their scheming in front of Concubine Wei Xian. The harem was rarely peaceful for a while.

After Ling Jingshu observed for a few days, she also had a clue about how to be on this errand, and took the initiative to ask: "Concubine Xian, from today onwards, let the slave maid be an errand!" ”

Concubine Wei Xian nodded with a smile, and didn't forget to advise: "If you don't understand, don't feel embarrassed, just open your mouth and ask the palace." ”

Ling Jingshu responded with a smile.

From that day on, Ling Jingshu took over the key account book of the Lingbo Palace's treasury. Every day when Concubine Wei Xian was dealing with palace affairs, she had to stay by Concubine Wei Xian's side all the time, waiting for the summons to do things at any time.

Concubine Wei Xian asked Ling Jingshu to be an errand by her side in order to have an excuse to ask the emperor for someone. I didn't think about how much Ling Jingshu had to do. Unexpectedly, Ling Jingshu gave her many surprises and surprises.

For example, Ling Jingshu writes beautifully. Anything that needs to be written can be handed over to Ling Jingshu.

For example, Ling Jingshu has an excellent memory and a meticulous mind. I remember everything I have heard clearly. When she was busy, she mentioned a few words from time to time, which made her deal with things a lot smoother.

For example, Ling Jingshu even played a good abacus. When it comes to accounting for accounts, it comes in handy.

The pretty face is full of concentration, and the heart is extremely serious. The fair-skinned and slender fingers quickly flicked the rounded abacus beads, making a crisp sound. It's like playing a cheerful piece of music.

……

On this day, after finishing her work, Concubine Wei Xian couldn't help but ask: "Ashu, you are very good at this abacus, have you learned it since you were a child?" ”

Ling Jingshu smiled and snorted: "When the slave maid was in Dingzhou, she learned abacus with her cousins. The slave maid is also one of the best in the sisters' middle school. It's just that it hasn't really come in handy, and I didn't expect to be able to share my mother's worries now. ”

What the famous ladies have to learn is not only piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also the skills of the housekeeper director.

From this point of view, Concubine Wei Xian, who was born in a poor family, is much inferior.

Concubine Wei Xian did not shy away from her poor background, and laughed at herself: "This palace is good at laundry and cooking, and the female is popular, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all learned after entering the palace." I don't know anything about using an abacus to read account books. also thanks to the emperor's trust, he dared to hand over all the palace affairs to the palace, and he was not afraid that the palace would make a mess of the palace affairs. ”

The words were witty, and Xinyun on the side couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle.

Ling Jingshu also laughed: "Niang Niangsheng is beautiful, empathetic, gentle and amiable, and fair. Everyone in the palace praised it. As for these trivial things, if the mother has done it, what else do the slaves and maids do? ”

Concubine Wei Xian smiled when she heard this: "It turns out that this palace has so many advantages. ”

Just as she was talking and laughing, the palace maid came in to report: "Qi Xian Concubine Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Wei has come to say goodbye to Niangniang." ”

Wei Yan is here?!

Ling Jingshu's heart jumped.

It had been more than half a month since she left the Zichen Palace.

In the past in the Zichen Palace, she and Wei Yan still had occasional opportunities to meet. After arriving at the Lingbo Palace, he worked by Concubine Wei Xian's side every day, and never stepped out of the Lingbo Palace. Wei Yan had to serve the emperor's sick body in the Zichen Palace every day, and the two never had the opportunity to see each other......

Concubine Wei Xian smiled and glanced at Ling Jingshu, who was reluctant to defend herself, and ordered, "Let Imperial Doctor Wei come in!" ”

A moment later, Wei Yan walked in.

This is where Concubine Wei Xian handles palace affairs on weekdays, and the room is elegantly furnished and quite spacious. In addition to Concubine Wei Xian and Xinyun Ling Jingshu, there were several palace maids waiting on the side.

Wei Yan's gaze hurriedly swept over Ling Jingshu's face.

Her originally thin face has returned to its former fair and ruddy complexion. There was a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
