Chapter 166: Secret Calculation

*I haven't been home for two days.,I'm tired and have to update.,Isn't it*

After the newcomer finished the visit, he heard Concubine Wen's wind-chime-like voice and said: "Pushang Palace, in the future, these trainees will be from your Shang Palace Bureau, remember your duty to teach them well." ”

Pushang Palace stepped forward and bowed slightly: "The lower official will definitely remember the teachings of the concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Wen's big eyes are singing blindly, although her sons have been crowned kings, she still has charm and dazzling style. And her whole person is calm and natural, giving people a sense of peace.

Look at Murong Guifei again, this woman who is a few years younger than Wen Guifei is a completely different kind of beauty. Only that pair of phoenix eyes, her eyes are full of charm, and she is a very attractive woman.

Concubine Wen opened her mouth and Murong Guifei naturally refused to fall behind, and also smiled: "I saw that all the cultivators in this palace are quite stylish, and I think they must be the talents of my court and palace bureau in the future, you must use your mind well in practice, don't let down the emperor's grace." ”

Everyone saluted and said: "Yes, I will follow the teachings of the two noble concubines, and we will practice hard and live up to the emperor's grace!" ”

It turned out that Murong Guifei was favored not only because of her beauty, but also because of her sweet mouth, which would make the emperor gone, and she didn't forget to say that the emperor's grace was mighty. The words of the two concubines will be noticed, and the emperor will naturally know even if he is not there.

However, Concubine Wen was steady and smiled gently: "I have a century-old foundation, the people are peaceful, and the harem is peaceful, all of which are due to the emperor's hard work day and night." You practice hard and share the worries of the emperor and the harem more in the future, this is what I should do for the people of the Jing and Tang Dynasties, remember? ”

Murong is an emperor's grace and magnificence, and Concubine Wen said it more thoroughly, and also said that the emperor was tired of working for the country, that look, that tone, was full of distress and expectation.

This is the harem woman, and after the glory is the invisible sword and sword. If it weren't for everyone's family background, I'm afraid it would be difficult to survive. The harem is like this, and the Shanggong Bureau connected to it will not be much better. Zhirong finally understands how important the family is to him now.

After the lecture, the two concubines left, and Pushang Palace led everyone back to the Shang Palace Bureau. The plaque of the Shanggong Bureau is the inscription of the founding emperor himself, and the laws of the Shanggong Bureau were set by the founding queen. Therefore, the layout of the entire Shanggong Bureau is strict and solemn, the subordinate six bureaus are clearly divided, and the responsibilities of each Shanggong female official are clear.

Zhirong stepped over the high threshold, and another thick vermilion gate closed. This is the place that most women in the world dream of, as long as they get an official position, they can glorify the lintel, and marriage can not be decided by the family, and even the status of some women in the family can be compared with the eldest son.

Yubi is from a big family in the southwest, just a concubine who is not valued in the family, but its embroidery skills are gradually valued by the family as they grow older, so they have the position of Shanggong who is now the fourth grade, and it is also the most talented Shanggong in the embroidery bureau today. That's why the students who came in were eager to become her disciples.

Everyone followed the palace maid to the main hall of the Shang Palace Bureau and stood in turn, the Commander-in-Chief Shanggong Pu Shanggong sat in the highest position in the middle, on the right hand side was the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidery Department Lord Yubi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Medical Department Yan Shanggong, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Law Department Lord Wei Shanggong, and on the left hand side was the Comprador General's Lord, Li Shanggong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Criminal Law Administration, Jin Shanggong, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhuyu Administration, Murong Shanggong.

This is clearly a family faction arrangement. The Shanggong Bureau is really not simple, and it is a place where major families form alliances like the harem. But fortunately, he is a subordinate of the Yubi sect and does not belong to any faction, so he should not be caught in the whirlpool.

In the Wushang Palace next to Yubi, she still remembered that when she was troubled by Li Shanggong, she also said something for herself. And Wen Xin is also beside Yubi.

After everyone bowed, Pu Shang Gong began to speak, she was nearly forty years old, she was a mediocre but very kind and kind person, which may be the reason why she was able to take over the position of Master in the position of Commander-in-Chief.

"All of you are beautiful and well-known people, and I hope you will remember the purpose of your cultivation and your identity. I also hope that in the future, there will be people among the dozen or so of you. I'm just going to talk about one point today. There are more rules in the palace than at home, and if any of you violate the rules, you will be discrediting the Shang Palace Bureau, so for three days, you must study public etiquette in the Ming Law Department, and after three days, the exam will be held, and those who fail will be punished! This is the first task you are doing. ”

Wei Shanggong of the Ming Law Department smiled and said to everyone: "As long as you study hard, you can pass the test, come to me on time every day to report, and you are not allowed to leave early during the study period, and if you find that you violate the order, you will be removed immediately." ”

People are amiable, but words are strict. So some people couldn't help but mutter: "How can there be such a strict zhòng." ”

Wei Shanggong looked at the woman and still smiled: "If anyone wants to know if I have such a right, they can give it a try!" She walked slowly among the women and said as she walked: "You must have entered the palace a lot, as well as the palace relatives, young ladies from big families, but I hope you will keep in mind what kind of place the Shanggong Bureau is, this is not the Internal Affairs Office!" ”

Although the Shang Palace Bureau does things for the palace and is polite to the harem concubines, in fact, only the emperor has the right to deal with the senior female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau. The low-grade concubines in the harem even had to be polite to the people of the Shang Palace Bureau.

The noble girl quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head, not daring to look at Wei Shanggong again.

Who would have thought that such a gentle person would speak so powerfully. But how can it be possible to get to this position only moderately.

This Wei Shanggong must be Wei Ting's aunt, Wei Ting once told her that her aunt is gentle and usually easy to talk to, but once she is angry, she is a very powerful person.

After hearing the teachings, the people dispersed and returned to their rooms. The house has been cleaned up by Chunhua Huajin, and the maids brought by the nobles are all entering through the side door of the palace to worship alone, and cannot be with her. And these maids will also learn the palace rules from tomorrow with the grandmothers of the Shang Palace Bureau.

"Third sister, you are really my good sister!" The door was kicked open, and Zhi Yao brought two maids and glared at Zhi Rong fiercely. The Bai family has her to obtain a title and become a female official. But she didn't want to have an extra daughter. The Bai family is hers, and all the family property should also be hers.

Zhirong naturally knew the plans and resentments in her heart at this time, but there were secrets to come. She walked over with a smile, and the two girls cleverly poured tea for her and Zhiyao.

"Second sister is angry, in fact, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that it is enough to have a sister in the family to shine on the lintel, and my sister just wants to find a good family. To be honest, I was terrified of becoming a full-time trainee. My intelligence and embroidery skills are not as good as my sister's, so I just want to have a long experience. ”

Zhirong didn't tell a lie, she really didn't want to glorify the lintel for the Bai family, the Bai family was a temporary background, and she would become the backer of the Bai family in the future!

Zhi Yao sneered: "You'd better be able to do what you say, otherwise don't blame me for ignoring sisterhood!" ”

Sending off the plague god, Zhirong felt more relaxed, but she had more important things to do. After dinner, she went to Yubi's residence alone, and ran into Wen Xin as soon as she walked to the gate.

Wen Xin looked at her anxious appearance and sneered: "On the first day I entered the palace, I thought about coming to please Master, I really have you." She already looked down on Zhirong's background, and now she feels even more uncomfortable when she meets Zhirong, who doesn't want her master to have only one disciple in the room, but she has one more junior sister.

At this time, Zhirong didn't want to have any verbal disputes with her, she just wanted to see Yubi, so she just saluted: "Senior sister is good." ”

Wen Xin looked at her coldly, still didn't have a good face, and wiped her shoulders and left.

The palace maid made a report, and soon Zhirong was recruited by Yubi. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Yubi sitting on it, and she retreated to the palace maid and left only a grandmother, as if she had already known Zhirong's purpose.

Zhirong bowed deeply and respectfully: "Zhirong greets Master." "This worship has no other purpose, and is purely a respect for the jade.

"Get up, you're tired from all these prostrations today." At this time, the jade bi was not as strict as the main hall during the day, and it looked more amiable under the light. "Actually, I am your master in name, but your real master is Xia Shanggong, in terms of seniority, you are the same generation as me, and you can be regarded as my junior sister."

Zhirong, who had just sat down, was shocked: "You are also Master's apprentice?" But I've never heard of it. Master, how is she now? Have you been sinned? ”

Yubi saw her anxiously and comforted her: "Don't worry, Xia Shanggong is very good now, but she has been removed from the Shanggong Bureau a few days ago, and I don't know where she is in the harem, it is very difficult to see her." I am not a real apprentice of Xia Shanggong but I have the grace of her knowledge, and I have also taught some embroidery essentials, she does not accept disciples and does not want me to call her master. I didn't expect that after many years, you would have a master-apprentice relationship. This is a blessing for you. ”

Zhirong shook his head: "It's just a coincidence, I didn't expect to worship the former general Shang Gong as a teacher." But Master, she doesn't know where to go now, and I'm in a hurry. thought that he would be able to see her when he entered the palace. ”

Didn't the Master turn out to be in the Ming Law Department, and why was he transferred, and it was a few days before the students came. Is this what the emperor means or the two concubines in the palace?

The person who took the master away was Jin Zixuan, and he was very respectful to the master. And Yan Hua's original mission was also to find his master, one was the prince's party, and the other was Chengwang's party. Could it be that the person who gave the order did not belong to any party, or even higher than them.

"It's useless for you and me to be anxious, now we can only stay still for the time being, and then find a chance to save her. You can also see the current pattern of the Shang Palace Bureau, and it is no longer as factional as it was when Xia Shang Palace was in the past. Now that several families have infiltrated the Shang Palace Bureau, there is no peace here. You have to be careful everywhere, Pushang Palace is the original cronies of Xia Shang Palace, so the Shang Palace Bureau can still be neutral today, and it is also a loss to Pushang Palace. If you don't want to get involved in strife, just practice well, and nothing else has anything to do with you. ”

Yubi cared about her as much as Wei Ting, and Zhirong felt that although she didn't see her master, she met nobles along the way, which was really lucky.

Zhirong didn't stay at Yubi for too long, so as not to be seen. She went back to rest early, and on the second day, she went with the other trainees to get the clothes of the Shanggong Bureau trainees to change into.

The clothes of the Shanggong Bureau are different from other women in the harem, although they are also long skirts, but they are mostly simple and generous, and they will not use bright colors, and the embroidery patterns on the clothes are also different from the styles that women like, biased towards Chinese, like the combination of male officials and harem women's clothes embroidery. In addition, the embroidered patterns on the clothes of high-ranking female officials are different to represent status and status.

The trainee's clothes are all white ice silk long skirts, with a pale yellow belt, this long skirt does not feel the heat of the weather at all, there are silver silk embroidered patterns on the body, and the upper body is a waist-length light blue tunic with moire embroidered only the neckline and cuffs, each person also has a small gauze hat, buttoned on a simple combed bun, and wearing some beads on both sides is quite chic.

However, it is not good to wear too much, just like the noble girl Qiu Manhua who lost her words yesterday, on one side of the small gauze hat is two peony-style golden hairpins, on the other side there are two hibiscus, and there is a step shake.

This kind of dress is very eye-catching among the students, and only the Shang Gong can dress up like this, and it is really inappropriate for her to practice so little.

However, Wei Shanggong didn't seem to see it, and only divided everyone into several groups to study.

Zhirong happened to be in a group with the woman, and when she was resting, the woman smiled and said, "Why are you dressed so elegantly, just such a jade hairpin, and be a Taoist aunt." ”

It's really rare to speak so directly, Zhirong asked rhetorically, "What about you, aren't you afraid of being criticized like this?" ”

I saw the woman pouting: "I can dress up how I like, what does it matter to them, I ignore these dead dogmas." Sue you, I was forced by my family to come to practice, otherwise I wouldn't have come. ”

Zhirong's impression of her was not bad, and the two of them talked and laughed as they came and went. And this Qiu Manhua is also a straightforward person, and after class, he went to Zhirong's side to eat, and the two spent three days together.

On the third day of the exam, Zhirong was full of confidence, and although Qiu Manhua learned carelessly, there was still no problem in passing the test. The exams were checked by Wei Shanggong one by one, and Zhirong and Qiu Manhua were ranked last. The weather was hot, and both of them had dry mouths.

"Let's have a cup of tea, two adults. It's only the tenth now, and it's you in a while. A little palace maid in pink palace dress handed over two cups of tea with a smile.

"Oops, that's a life!" Qiu Manhua took it without saying a word, and Zhirong didn't want to take it, but it was not easy to refuse, so she took it.

However, she didn't want to drink it, except for the tea poured by Chunhua Huajin, the other palace people didn't drink it casually, but Qiu Manhua was anxious and drank two sips, "I'm afraid of poison, it's really awkward." ”

Zhirong also felt that she was so awkward, Qiu Manhua was so refreshing, she drank a little bit herself, so she took a sip.

After a while, Zhirong suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did his hands and feet seem to be a little stiff, and his head was also very muddy, and when he looked at Qiu Manhua again, he went to the exam in good spirits.

This feeling of being drunk is becoming more and more obvious, and she can already be sure that it is the problem with the tea, but Qiu Manhua took two big sips!

The two mouthfuls are very spiritual, and a small sip looks like this, and it is obvious that she has been calculated. Soon the grandmother above called her name, and it was her turn to take the exam.

Zhirong reluctantly walked over, and Qiu Manhua passed by her, with a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth. R1152
