Chapter 268: Obstruction

The slave and maid never meant to provoke, but they couldn't help but talk more for a while. Please spare the slave this time! The slave will never dare again. ”

Hongmei kowtowed again and again to forgiveness, her face was full of tears, and she looked pitiful.

Ling Jingshu was not moved, and looked at it coldly for a long time before slowly opening her mouth and saying, "It's the first time you've made a mistake, just this time!" In the future, if I have bad intentions and maliciously instigated, I will definitely report to the queen in person and start again. ”

Hongmei thanked her, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then stood up with a shrunken face, not daring to look up again.

The other palace maids watched Hongmei's flattery instead of being hung up, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, and they all put away the contempt in their hearts.

This new female official Ling in the palace, although she is young, is not a master who is easy to fool.

Ling Jingshu's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and her voice was neither high nor low, nor slow: "Thanks to the trust of the queen mother, she summoned me to the palace." Since I entered the palace as this errand, I will do my best, and I must not live up to my mother's love. ”

"The fact that a few of you have come under my command can be regarded as our fate. I hope that the big guys will work together to do a good job of serving the flowers and plants. ”

"I'll also say the ugly things first. If someone secretly moves something that they shouldn't have, as long as I detect it, I will never spare it. ”

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they responded together.

After Ling Jingshu said these words with a calm face, she quickly stretched her brows again, and smiled gently: "Okay, you don't have to be nervous. Now, in order, everyone talks about what they do on a daily basis. Hongmei, let's talk about it first. ”

After this combination of soft and hard underground, Hongmei was much more well-behaved and honestly talked about her errand. After that, several other palace maids also answered one by one.

Ling Jingshu listened and wrote it down attentively.

……

It was about the same as she had expected.

A large number of flowers and trees are in the imperial garden, and most of the plants in the Jiaofang Hall are potted plants. Some need to be moved to the sun every day, some need to be kept in the shade, watered for watering, and pruned for pruning. I also have to catch insects on a regular basis and so on.

These trivial matters are more than enough for six people to take care of.

The real difficulty is to plant and cultivate new peonies every year to dedicate to Queen Xu.

Every year when the peony blooms in April, Queen Xu will hold a flower-viewing banquet. At that time, if there is no new and good-looking new peony, Queen Xu will definitely be guilty.

The three palace maids who were left behind by the wild goose silently, two of them were good at planting peonies. In the peony room in the Jiaofang Palace, twenty pots of new peonies have been planted, all of which have been carefully cultivated by the two palace maids.

It's the first month of the year, and those new peonies have just sprouted. If no one takes care of it, I don't know how many pots will bloom in April!

This falling goose really had a bad heart and deliberately stumbled her.

If she is really as Hongmei said, go to Luoyan to ask for someone. Either begging for the wild goose in a low voice, or you have to make a fuss to go to Queen Xu. The former has to swallow her anger and bow down, while the latter will make her seem that she, a newcomer to the palace, does not know how to be aggressive. Even if it is in front of Queen Xu, Luo Yan can find a bunch of excuses to shirk.

When the time comes, it will be her who will be ashamed!

Thinking of this, Ling Jingshu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and pulled out a sarcastic sneer.

What a goose! What a dismount!

She had to endure Queen Xu's dismount for the time being, and even a wild goose wanted to show off her might in front of her, but she really had the wrong idea.

Ling Jingshu quickly made up her mind and instructed a few palace maids: "How do you do errands on weekdays, what are you going to do today." Hongmei, you first lead me around the Jiaofang Palace, familiarize myself with the environment, and then go to the Peony Room. ”

Hongmei replied respectfully.

……

Delicate potted plants can be seen everywhere in the Jiaofang Palace. At this time, the weather is cold, and most of the branches have not yet sprouted. Some of the potted trees are evergreen all year round, adding a little greenery to the Jiaofang Palace.

"The flowers and trees are very well cared for." Looking at the green bonsai, Ling Jingshu's mood became calm and happy, and she praised with a smile: "You are quite attentive on weekdays. ”

Hongmei spoke a lot more cautiously: "It is the honor of the slaves and maids to be able to be on an errand in the Jiaofang Palace, how dare you not do your best." ”

Ling Jingshu glanced at Hongmei, but didn't say anything.

People come and go in the Jiaofang Palace, and they speak extra carefully, so as not to be accidentally listened to by others.

It took more than half an hour to turn around the Jiaofang Palace, and then Ling Jingshu instructed Hongmei to lead her to the Peony Room.

This peony house, located in the northwest corner of the Jiaofang Palace, is built with fine bamboo, which can shelter from the wind and rain. Looking at it from afar, it is quite elegant. The unique fragrance of bamboo, wafting faintly.

Except for the palace maids who came to take care of the peony, few people come here on weekdays, and it is very quiet.

When I walked into the peony room, I saw that there were also shelves of different heights with bamboo, and all kinds of flower pots of different sizes were placed on the shelves, and peonies were planted inside.

At a glance, there are at least hundreds of pots.

Ling Jingshu liked it almost at first sight, and walked around the peony room with great interest, leaning down her head from time to time to take a closer look.

Hongmei followed behind Ling Jingshu, and seeing that Ling Jingshu was full of interest, she couldn't help but ask, "Does Lady Ling also grow peonies?" ”

Ling Jingshu hummed casually.

She has loved peonies since she was a child, and spends most of her free time in the garden. Since her rebirth, she has only been thinking about two things, one is to cure Ling Xiao's eye disease, and the other is to take revenge. A leisurely mood like this at this moment is vaguely something that only happened in the boudoir in the previous life.

Ling Jingshu carefully read it one basin after another, and it was almost noon.

Hongmei asked cautiously: "Female Officer Ling, what will I do with this peony room in the future?" Who will take care of it? ”

The two palace maids who were in charge of the peony room in the past were taken away by the wild goose. If the geese don't let go, who will take care of this peony house?

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will take care of this peony room in person in the future." ”

What the?

Hongmei was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "How can Female Officer Ling do such rough work!" ”

It's just a matter of doing menial work or something. What's more, there are still many new products here that were just cultivated last year, and I don't know if they can be planted and bloomed this year. Ling Jingshu took over so rashly, what if she messed up?

Hongmei's doubts and worries were written on her face.

Ling Jingshu knew her thoughts, but she didn't explain anything, only said, "That's it for the time being." From tomorrow onwards, you will come with me to the peony room to do things. (To be continued.) )
