"Hui Xin, I asked you to tell the Celebrant Bureau before that you need to prepare the family banquet in the palace, but how many stewards have you told you?"

Not long after Hua Ying took over the Celebrant Bureau, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, so Hua Ying was about to take charge of the affairs of the harem for the first time, so she asked Hui Xin to tell her requirements a long time ago.

"Back to Niangniang's words, what Niangniang asked the slave to do has already been done, but there is one sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Hui was hesitant, as if there was something and wanted Hua Ying to know, but she didn't feel at ease to say it like this.

"If there is anything to talk about, the friendship between our master and servant, what else should not be talked about?" Hua Ying closed the account book in her hand for the time being, and planned to listen to Huixin with a serious expression, she always did this to her subordinates.

"What Niangniang said is that the slave thinks too much, in fact, it is not a big deal, it may be that the slave and maid's mind is too sensitive, and I always feel that there are people in the Celebrant Bureau... It seems that he is not very satisfied with the mother's instructions. ”

"You mean someone disagrees with Hongu?" No matter how tactful Hui Xin said, Hua Ying also heard the meaning, and was not very satisfied with the master's instructions, that is, she was unwilling to listen to Hua Ying's words, and felt that Hua Ying was not qualified to take on this important responsibility.

"It's not like that, now that Niangniang is a concubine, how can anyone dare to disobey Niangniang?" will think about how to speak first: "The main thing is the Celebrant Bureau, some people are the queen's cronies at the time, probably thinking that once the Celebrant Bureau has a mother to take over, they will not be able to benefit from it, so what does the Niangniang command, they are always yin and yang, it's not that they don't do it, but they will say a few words in their mouths, and the slave wants to reprimand, but it's not easy to attack, after all, they don't say bad things about the mother." ”

"I know what you said, you don't have to be angry about it, this is human nature, they don't know about this palace, they think that this palace is the same person as the queen, they only trust the people they have cultivated, and they will worry about their jobs somewhat." Everything is difficult at the beginning, just a few words of yin and yang, Hua Ying is not bothered by this, and they all say that the new official has three fires, and her fire has not burned yet.

"But mother, do you just let them do this? At worst, this matter is said to be that those subordinates are not familiar with Niangniang's style, and at worst, it is not respecting Niangniang, and it is also disrespecting the emperor. "Who's really the master, who is distressed, Hui Xin has been looking through the account books until late at night for the things of the Ceremonial Bureau, vowing to put the Ceremonial Bureau in order, and naturally she will be very unaccustomed to those who only know how to talk about the world.

"People must first respect themselves and make a world of their own affairs, so that others can be convinced and sincerely respected, this truth is the same in the palace, even if the palace is the only favorite concubine in front of the emperor, but in the eyes of their servants in the internal affairs office, it may be no different from a vase." It is common for the Internal Affairs Office to worship high and low, but it does not mean that the stewards of the Internal Affairs Office, the servants will sincerely believe in you, it is one thing to please, and it is another thing to be happy and convinced, it depends on Hua Ying herself, some things cannot be given to her by others alone, only you can really help yourself.

"Since they are not satisfied with the palace, they will naturally not trust you even more, so let the palace go to the four reasons in person, and see how they are prepared, this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet must not go wrong, otherwise it will not only lose the face of the palace, but also the face of the emperor who has the right to the palace."

"Yes, the slave will go and prepare the sedan chair." Seeing that Hua Ying's heart was calm, she was also relieved, she thought that her mother was the proud daughter of the sky, and she couldn't stand these angers, but it turned out that her mother was definitely not a vase with a false appearance.

In front of the gate of the ceremonial bureau, seeing that the sedan chair of the jacaranda was about to arrive at the door of the private bureau, Song Li, the aunt in charge of the ceremonial bureau, saw this and wanted to go out to greet her, but was pulled by another aunt with her sleeve, such a large ceremonial bureau must have more than one person in charge, so since the queen was in charge of the harem, she assigned two aunts in charge to manage, one of them was Song Li, and the other was Zhao Yu, who had been rewarded by the queen's mother, especially Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu often went to Kunning Palace to report to the queen the current situation of the ceremonial bureau, so he was more familiar with the queen, Now that the queen has suddenly been replaced by a favorite concubine, Zhao Yu is not convinced at all, because she feels that only the queen is worthy of being in charge of the celebrant bureau, and the rest are idle people, who don't understand anything, and will only rely on the emperor's favor to compete for power with the queen.

"Ignore her, I want the two of us to go out to receive her, and the face is bigger than the queen's mother." Zhao Yu spoke harshly, Song Li wanted to say something, but she was also interrupted, and she was a sister who had been in the private bureau for many years, so it was not easy to refute, so she could only take a step back helplessly and wait at the door of the celebrant bureau.

"What's going on? There is not even a receptionist, and it is too much, the mother waits for a while, and the slave maid will go to meet them for a while, to see if they are all deaf and can't hear the sound. ”

Hui Xin was annoyed, but Hua Ying stopped him: "You don't need to go, the palace will go down in person, no one will greet it, and it is not a matter of missing arms and legs, since you are here today, this palace is ready to win people's eyes." ”

Saying that, Hua Ying was helped out of the sedan chair, stepped on the bottom of the high flower pot, and walked into the ceremonial bureau, this is not the first time he came, but it was the first time, he carefully went up and down, and looked at the ceremonial bureau everywhere, Song Li and Zhao Yu followed behind him, and they didn't know what Hua Ying was thinking, and after entering the door, she didn't say a word, was she angry that no one received her, or did she think otherwise?

Hua Ying walked to a place, which was the place where the palace maids of the celebrant bureau made the lanterns needed for the palace banquet, Hua Ying opened her mouth and asked, "Why don't you buy these lanterns outside the palace?" Instead, do it one by one, won't it be a waste of time and experience? ”

Zhao Yu grinned, and the words he said were full of irony: "The pregnant concubine Niangniang's daughter is noble, and she feels sorry for those palace maids, Niangniang doesn't know, the size of the lanterns circulating on the market outside the palace are not suitable for use in the palace banquet, and the price is not cheap, it is better to buy the tools yourself, let the palace maids hurry up the time to do it, and the lanterns made are neat and uniform, and they look very good-looking. What is the need, just send two girls over for a run, you are graceful and luxurious, wouldn't it be decent to come to the celebrant bureau? ”

This is getting more and more excessive, although Hua Ying's face remains unchanged, Song Li on the side still coughs lightly: "Sister Zhao Yu, don't say those words in front of Niangniang, Concubine Yun Niangniang has just taken over the Celebrant Bureau, there are many things, Niangniang doesn't know, or the dereliction of duty of our sisters, didn't tell Niangniang in advance, and invite Niangniang, don't blame, if there is anything else you want to ask, just ask the slave." ”

Looking at this Song Li seems to be a good one, of course, Hua Ying didn't make up her mind so easily, she just nodded, and the previous unpleasantness didn't happen: "It's hard for you two, Aunt Zhao Yu is right, the palace has not had any contact with this before, so I don't know that the lanterns are made one by one by the people of our celebrity bureau, now, although it has begun autumn, the weather is still a little stuffy, and the people of our private bureau are all hard, and the palace will naturally inform their own kitchen, I have come and brought you some food to relieve your fatigue so that you can cheer up. ”

Hua Ying spoke in a way, one bite of our celebrant bureau can better make the two of them have a sense of identity, even if it is Zhao Yu, I have to wonder if the previous queen has ever said such a thing to them, even if it is a reward, there is no such intimate food to prepare for them to cool off.

"Then thank Niangniang in advance for the people of the Celebrant Bureau, Niangniang is a person with a blue heart at a glance, I believe that with Niangniang, our Celebrant Bureau will naturally do better and better, today Niangniang came over in person, but what else do you want to instruct? Niangniang said before that she wanted to decorate the Qianqing Palace in a simple and generous manner, and Miss Huixin had already helped convey it. Zhao Yu has not completely regarded Hua Ying as his master, but Song Li is obviously more able to see the current situation more clearly, knowing that Hua Ying is not an arrogant and unreasonable person, but an empathetic, generous and polite person, it is rare for such a favored concubine to have such a character.

"As Aunt Zhao Yu said, this palace has no experience and experience before, and there is no qualification to teach you, so come and take a look, what is the atmosphere of the celebrant bureau like on weekdays, you can't just ask this palace to do something, you can also come to this palace if you have any difficulties, as long as it can be solved, this palace will try its best to help." Hua Ying now lowers her identity to a little white who doesn't know anything, first of all, she needs these two aunts to accept herself first, so that the people below will better identify with herself.

This Zhao Yu seems to have received a lot of favors from the queen before, so he doesn't like himself very much, Hua Ying has her own plans in her heart, if Zhao Yu can be loyal to herself in the future, it will be fine, if she still makes things difficult for herself everywhere, even towards the queen, then she doesn't have to keep him.

"The mother really torments the slaves."

On the contrary, Zhao Yu heard such words, and thought in his heart that Hua Ying was just talking about it, and she didn't mean it when she wanted to win over herself and Song Li, so she deliberately said: "Niangniang, our celebrity bureau is beautiful on the surface, but in fact, it is always bullied by the people of the Internal Affairs Bureau. ”
