"Come on, Xuan Zhang Dehai come in." , The Queen Mother gave an order, and saw a man in a dark blue eunuch uniform enter the hall, thirty years old, although not tall, but the facial features and eyebrows are beautiful, the most memorable thing is the scar on the neck that is about five inches long, walked to the Queen Mother and Qin Yuan and saluted, "Slave Zhang Dehai to the Queen Mother, to the Xiang Concubine Niangniang." ”

"Let's be flat."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

The Queen Mother immediately spoke, "Concubine Xiang is short of manpower by her side, you go and serve the side." ”

"The slave obeys the order, and the slave must do his best to be loyal to the concubine." , Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "You look very energetic, and I will work for you in the future." ”

"Concubine Xiang Niangniang has tormented the slave, and it is the duty of the slave to serve the master wholeheartedly."

The Queen Mother immediately spoke, "Zhang Dehai has been in the palace for more than ten years, and he knows a lot about the palace, which is very helpful for you when you first enter the palace. Qin Yuan was very grateful, and hurriedly got up and saluted the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is so concerned about her concubines, and the concubines really don't know what to do, and the concubines will serve the Queen Mother wholeheartedly in the future." ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly helped Qin Yuan up, "Yuan'er doesn't need to be so polite, it's too late for you to enter the palace to mourn and be happy, have you packed up your things?" ”

"Aunt Lan is cleaning up."

"Yonghua Palace is also far away from this Shoukang Palace, let's go get busy."

"Yes, the concubine retired first."

Qin Yuan immediately turned around and left, Zhang Dehai followed, and then Aunt Liu next to the Queen Mother spoke, "The Queen Mother really loves Concubine Xiang, and even Zhang Dehai has been rewarded." The queen mother smiled meaningfully, "The concubines in the palace are deceitful, Yuan'er is smart and knowledgeable, the emperor needs people like Yuan'er, the mourning family has favored Yuan'er for many years, and now she has entered the palace as a concubine with the wishes of the mourning family, and the mourning family also has a helper around her. ”

Aunt Liu replied, "Yes." ”

When Qin Yuan went back, the people sent by Zhou Ruiqing had already arrived, and Aunt Lan had already ordered to move to Yonghua Palace, Qin Yuan came to Jinhua Hall under the guidance of Zhang Dehai, Jinhua Hall was richly arranged, the equipment was complete, and the furniture and accessories here were exquisite and shiny, and it seemed that the emperor had sent someone to prepare in advance.

Qin Yuan immediately began to pack up her things, busy until the sun was about to set, Qin Yuan sat on the wooden chair in the front hall a little tired, Aunt Lan hurriedly poured tea and said, "The master is tired, right?" Take a quick sip of tea. Qin Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, pointed to Zhang Dehai on the side and said, "Aunt Lan, this is Zhang Dehai, sent by the Queen Mother to the concubine." ”

Aunt Lan immediately smiled politely at Zhang Dehai, Zhang Dehai also smiled back, and Qin Yuan immediately said again, "Aunt Lan was brought into the palace from the house by the concubine, and she has been serving the concubine for more than ten years, and Zhang Dehai was sent to the concubine by the queen mother, and the concubine is naturally trustworthy, the two of you will be the closest people to the concubine in the future, understand?" ”

The two replied in unison, "Slave/slave understands." ”

"The two of you take these silver pairs, and they should be a little bit of the concubine's heart."

Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai looked at the two bulging money bags, paused slightly, and replied in unison, "Slaves/slaves don't dare." Qin Yuan was slightly dissatisfied, "Why don't you dare?" In the future, there will be a lot of money to be used, so take it. Seeing that Qin Yuan insisted repeatedly, the two took the money bag and thanked them.

"Have all the maids and maids distributed in the palace arrived?" , Aunt Lan replied, "It's all here, four palace maids, two eunuchs, a total of six, and the slaves and maids have asked them to wait outside." Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Zhang Dehai, you go and call them all in, this concubine has something to say." ”

Zhang Dehai responded, and went out to do so, and after a while, a group of six people had entered the front hall, and they all knelt down to Qin Yuan and saluted, "Slave/slave to Xiang Concubine Niangniang, Xiang Concubine Niangniang Jin'an." ”

Qin Yuan glanced slightly, and said in a solemn tone, "In the future, you will serve in the Jinhua Palace, this concubine is the master of this Jinhua Palace, you can serve this concubine, that is, you have a fate with this concubine, this concubine is a person who rewards and punishes, and if you do a good job, don't blame this concubine for punishing the crime, the truth of both glory and loss does not need to be concubine, presumably everyone knows it, right?" ”

"Slave/slave understands."

"These are the concubine's rewards, let's divide them all." , Qin Yuan immediately threw down a money bag, and a eunuch at the beginning picked it up, "Slave maid/slave Xie Xiang Concubine Niangniang reward." ”

Qin Yuan then said, "In the future, the trivial matters of Jinhua Hall will be presided over by Aunt Lan and Zhang Jinghai, this concubine doesn't like too many people to serve around her, just have Aunt Lan and Zhang Jinghai waiting around, as for the concubine's bedroom, except for Aunt Lan and Zhang Jinghai, no one is allowed to enter without this concubine, do you understand?" ”

"Slaves/slaves understand, remember the teachings of Xiang Concubine Niangniang."

"Aunt Lan, you take them down and tell everyone about their affairs." , Aunt Lan answered, and then said to the six people, "You all come out with me." ”

After everyone retreated, Qin Yuan rested on the wooden chair a little tiredly, and Zhang Dehai on the side said, "The master must be tired, right?" Qin Yuan shook her head slowly, "How many years has Zhang Dehai been in the palace?" Zhang Dehai bowed his head slightly and said, "The slave has been waiting beside the Queen Mother since he entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and he has been in the palace for 17 years this year. ”

"The emperor has been in power for twelve years now, and it seems that the queen mother was the queen when she was the queen, and you entered the palace to serve?"

"Back to the master's words, yes."

The Queen Mother is a rigorous person, Zhang Dehai can be by the Queen Mother's side for more than ten years, presumably a capable person, Qin Yuan then spoke, "Since this is the case, then you must be clear about the situation in the palace, this concubine lives in Jinhua Hall and is under the jurisdiction of Concubine Shu, so let's talk about her to this concubine first." ”

Zhang Dehai paused slightly, "Concubine Shu is the daughter of Chen Chenghuan, a third-grade bachelor in the dynasty, she has been in the palace for seven years, she can be regarded as an old man in the palace, and she has a son or three. ”

Qin Yuan thought for a while and said, "When the daughter of the third grade of the dynasty has a prince, her status is not light." ”

"Although he has a prince, but he is not biological, the biological mother of the third prince Mu Sheng was born to Qiao Guiren, but when Qiao Guiren or Qiao agreed, because of his low status, the emperor decreed that the third prince be raised by a concubine."

Qin Yuan suddenly said with a slight surprise, "What? Just because of his low status, he wants to turn his own son into someone else? Zhang Dehai bowed slightly, "This is the palace rule, concubines must be sent to the prince and the princess hall when they give birth to their heirs, and those with low status are not qualified to raise heirs." ”

It seems that the status of the palace is very important, otherwise it is just a tool for giving birth, Qin Yuan immediately said lightly, "Zhang Dehai, you go to Chonghua Hall with this concubine, since Concubine Shu is a picky person, this concubine has just entered Yonghua Palace today, it is better to report to Concubine Shu, so as not to provoke Concubine Shu." ”

"Yes." , Zhang Dehai answered, and followed Qin Yuan out.
