At night, when everyone dispersed, Xiran called Qiao Ruoli to his room for questioning.

"You're going to the food department of the Shangshi Bureau from tomorrow, do you have anything to say?" Xi Ran asked very calmly.

"Yes, first of all, Ruoli thanks my aunt for her kindness over the years, and I also thank my aunt for saving Ruoli from danger several times, and this kindness will never be forgotten. Second, Ruoli never forgot to promise her that she would help her do something in the future. Thirdly, after I joined the Dietary, I should remember my aunt's teachings and never relax and act cautiously. After speaking, Qiao Ruoli knelt upright in front of Xi Ran and kowtowed a few times.

"Come on, it's not these things that I'm asking you about, I know what kind of temperament you have, and among the people in the palace who are with you, you are the most cautious. I wanted to ask you if you know why the Queen Mother had the heart to let you enter the Chef's Division? Xi Ran helped Qiao Ruoli up and spoke.

"Well, if you are foolish, I don't know if what you think is right." Qiao Ruoli said with some hesitation.

"Tell me about it." Xi Ran pulled Qiao Ruoli down and sat next to him softly and said.

"I think there are three reasons, today's queen mother and the concubine mother can be described as-for-tat, so the two of them should each go to find the person they want to support on the scene.

The fact that I offended the concubine was a few years ago, not to mention that most people in the palace knew about it, but there must be many people who had the heart to inquire, and I didn't get along well with the palace officials in the concubine's lineage, and the reason why the queen praised me was definitely not because of my volume, but because if I didn't stand on her side, I wouldn't be on the side of the concubine. After Qiao Ruoli finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Xi Ran.

"That's good, that's the first reason, but what about the remaining two?" Xi Ran saw Qiao Ruoli's inquiring eyes, nodded, and continued to ask.

"This second point, now Wang Shanggong is going to step down from his position after the assessment, but now the female officials of the Shanggong Bureau are still young, and they can't go to that position, and it is the right age for Liu Shangshi, but in this way, there is a vacancy for the female officials of the Shangshi Bureau, so I want the female officials below to go up, and now there is only one top-grade insider in the Shangshi Bureau, and I will naturally fill the vacancy when I go.

The third point is that the most dangerous position in the entire palace is actually the Shangshi Bureau, if I can stay in the Shangshi Bureau safely, then it is possible to play a big role in the future. Qiao Ruoli said all the remaining two points in one breath and looked at Xi Ran.

"Your mind is very clear, so I'm not afraid that you won't be able to see the form clearly, but there is another important point, have you figured out the situation in the kitchen." Xi Ran asked again.

"I asked the bell this afternoon, although I don't know very well, but I can be regarded as having a rough understanding," Qiao Ruoli nodded and said.

"Then tell me about it." Xi Ran said.

"The chefs of the catering division are Zhang Mojin and Qiu Ruoyun, and Zhang Mojin should have a higher probability of promotion in the future." Qiao Ruo left his mouth and said.

"Oh, why?" Xi Ran asked with interest.

"Craftsmanship! Between the two, Qiu Ruoyun's cooking skills are not half a star higher than Zhang Mojin's, but most of such people just concentrate on their own skills, rather than drilling camps. But Zhang Mojin is different, she was originally the first chef in her class, but now she has not improved, so there is only one possibility that she is not only willing to sit in the position of chef. Qiao Ruo left his mouth and said.

"Yes, you must be careful of her when you go in, and do not offend her anger, nor be too much of his affection, and it is better that she does not notice you. But anyone who is good at drilling camps is willing to treat everything around them as a chess piece, if you walk in with her, you can't get out of it in the future. Aunt Xiran instructed.

"Yes, it's not just her, even the palm of the food iris and Nuolan who have a good relationship with her, I will be far away." Qiao Ruo left his mouth and said.

"You and Nuo Lan are both insiders, they must live together, and you have also taken the position of a top-grade insider. Be careful, don't let people get into trouble. Since you left me, I am afraid that I will have less to protect you, so you must be careful when you are done. Xiran said.

"Yes, Ruoli will follow my aunt's teachings." Qiao Ruo left his mouth and said.

"Alright, hurry up and go to sleep, I'll have to pack up and go over there tomorrow morning." Xi Ran's eyes were a little red when he said this, and Qiao Ruoli's nose felt sour when he saw this, after all, there were only a few people who had gotten along with each other day and night over the years since he entered the palace.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll definitely come to see you if I'm free." Qiao Ruo left his mouth and said.

"There are rules up and down the palace, although they are close at hand, but often meeting is the most difficult, you just need to be better than anything else." Xi Ran patted Qiao Ruoli on the shoulder and said.

Qiao Ruoli slept very unsteadily this night, and kept dreaming of all kinds of people he had met in these lifetimes, as if they were going to say something to him, but none of them could hear a word.

Early the next morning, the bell knocked on the door and came in, and Qiao Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her.

"Oh, what's wrong with you? Why did you sweat so much? The bell was also shocked when he saw Qiao Ruoli.

"It's a nightmare, it's okay. How did you get here? Qiao Ruoli struggled to stand up and asked.

"You can move today, I can't come over to help you, and I'm going to leave here the day after tomorrow, now I'm assigned to work in the Shufei Palace, and I'm going to stay in Shuyuan Hall in the future, aunts I'm afraid it's going to be empty here for a long time." Bell said sadly.

"The aunts of the academy should also be used to it, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed." Qiao Ruoli comforted softly, but his voice was a little choked.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up, go early and make a good impression." Seeing this, Bell knew that if the two continued to talk, they would have to cry together, so he quickly changed the topic.

The two of them cleaned up about a stick of incense, and Qiao Ruoli's things were all packed up.

"Why are you so much stuff, I packed less than a third of my two boxes last night, you only have a big box, and my aunt stuffed me a lot, I guess I have to six, I don't know where to put it when the time comes." Seeing Qiao Ruo's pitiful lack of things, the bell couldn't help but say.

"That's you." Qiao Ruoli rubbed the bell's soft hair and said.

"Aunt Xiran didn't buy you anything, there are a lot of things to do up and down over there, my aunt is the housekeeper of the palace daughter in the Shangshi Bureau, I begged her, she will take care of you." It's just that the palace maid and the female official live in different places, and my aunt also lives in the school, so many things can't help you. The bell whispered.

"I'm not one yet, I'm just a high-class insider. And Aunt Xiran also bought me something, and it's a treasure. That's it. Qiao Ruoli said, stretched out his finger and pointed to a small package and said.

"You, you don't say that you are not a female official, but now you are also considered a ninth grade, and you are at the same level as Aunt Xiran." The bell looked at the small package as he spoke, and Qiao Ruoli didn't stop it, after all, there was no secret between the two of them.

It's just that after opening the bell, he was so shocked that he didn't close his mouth for a long time, "Golden needle, Aunt Xiran's set of baby golden needles." ”

Qiao Ruoli nodded, reached out and took the small package and rearranged it, and put it in the dark compartment in the box.

"You have to hide this thing well, this set of gold needles is more delicate than those girls' hairpins, I can't keep it stolen by someone, by the way, you also put this in it." Bell said as he took out a small cloth bag from his bosom.

"What is this?" Qiao Ruoli said while picking it up and taking it apart.

It's just that the package was opened, Qiao Ruoli quickly put it away and returned it to the bell, and said, "I can't take the bell, it's too precious." ”

"This is much cheaper than Aunt Xiran's things, but they are some external objects, why are you bothering so much with me." The bell was sorted out as he spoke, and put the things in the secret compartment where Qiao Ruo left the box.

"I really can't take that." Qiao Ruoli has to take it out again.

"Ah Li, listen to me, all of this is what I got when I went home when the pure concubine gave birth that year, don't worry about it's not dirty money." The bell looked at Qiao Ruoli and said.

"I don't mean that bell, it's just that two ingots of gold have been cut out here, and even the silver ingots in it must have fifty or sixty taels, how can I accept it." Qiao Ruoli looked at the bag of money and really trembled, after all, he had only saved more than thirty taels over the years, and his life was so hard haha, only yesterday he ruthlessly bled and spent four taels to buy a banquet.

"It's not much, it's not much, my dad runs a restaurant, I can still take out the money, and I spend so much money, I should save it for me if I put it here for you." Seeing that the bell said this, Qiao Ruoli could only nod and accept it, but when the bell was placed here, the flowers did not dare to spend.

"Ah Li, if you are my friend, don't worry so much about me, my promotion in this life is hopeless, and I have to count on you to mix well." Bell and Qiao Ruoli have known each other for many years, so they naturally understood her thoughts and hurriedly added.

"Okay, but if you are short of money, remember to come to me to get it." Qiao Ruoli also nodded and agreed, after all, friends sometimes have to owe each other to become closer.

"Don't worry, if I have a short time to eat, I will go to you." Seeing that Qiao Ruoli was relieved, the bell quickly said with a smile.

"You, remember to divide your money when you go back." Qiao Ruoli nodded the bell's head and said.

"Why?" Bell asked rhetorically.

"Because you can't put all your eggs in one basket." Qiao Ruoli replied.

Xi Ran sat in the room and listened to the sound of the bell and Qiao Ruo getting farther and farther away, and shed a tear.
