"Alternates? What do you mean? Bell asked, a little confused.

"She has a big face now, not only is she favored by the queen, but even the emperor praises her." Liuli said with a pretended loss look.

"Really." The bell wanted to ask excitedly, but he didn't pull Qiao Ruoli aside.

"Ruri, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect it......" Qiao Ruoli looked at Liuli's unhappy look, and felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to bow her head and admit her mistake, but Liuli interrupted her.

"What's this? I am not as good as others, and I originally wanted to compete with you, but I didn't expect you to be in the eyes of the queen. It doesn't matter, anyway, with my ability, I should be the best among this batch of female officers, don't worry, I won't be angry with you because of this matter, I just scared you. Liuli said to Qiao Ruoli with a smile.

At this time, Qiao Ruoli felt a little better in his heart, after all, people like Liuli have always been unable to lie.

"Then you go ahead and tell me what just happened? I was really anxious to wait outside, watching the queen mother, the concubine mother and the emperor go in one by one, and I was scratching my heart and liver. The bell poked Liuli and whispered.

"It's not impossible to tell you, but if you have received such a great reward today. Don't invite a few sisters, drink some wine, eat some good food or something. At the dinner table, while drinking cold wine, he said, "That's interesting?" Liuli looked at Qiao Ruoli with some ill will and said.

"Ah, I'll invite you, don't you know, Ah Li is good at everything, but he is very deducted, and if she pays for it, won't it cost him his life." The bell said with a big grin.

In fact, if the palace maid in the palace doesn't want to pick up some good things to use, she won't be able to spend any money. Because whether it is food, clothes, or rouge gouache, they are all distributed on time in accordance with the rules of the palace, but these things are not good things in the end.

So, these palace maids will more or less take their own money and find someone to buy some good ones secretly. But Qiao Ruoli is one of the best buckles in this palace, like those rouge gouaches, not only do he not keep them for his own use, he goes out every day with his face facing the sky, but also sells these rouge gouaches to some little palace maids who have just entered the palace and let them use them.

It's just that the rest of the money is not only not spent on food and drink, but also on clothes, but just lives a miserable life every day. Bell always said that he was the reincarnation of Pixiu, and he only knew that he could not spit out. But after all, the relationship is also very good. Therefore, if Ling Danfan gets some good things, he is also willing to share them with Qiao Ruoli. Qiao Ruoli refused a few times, or gave the bell some money. But in the end, he couldn't resist the warmth of the bell and the will to resolutely not accept the money, so he finally accepted it, just thinking about repaying more favors by helping.

But what Bell and Liuli don't know is that Qiao Ruoli really has his own difficulties. He is nothing more than a palace maid who has entered the palace under an impostor. The family never sent him more money. But everything needs to be done up and down in this palace, so he can only live a tight life, and he always thinks about the money for studying abroad, and if he can be issued out of the palace in the future, he can respond to an emergency.

"Liuli is right, today is a good day, we should go to make a few good dishes. Bell, you are familiar with the monk food bureau, and you will go and ask the female history over there for a few good dishes in a while. I'll give you this money, and I can't shirk it today. Qiao Ruoli smiled and stuffed a small silver ingot into the bell's hand.

The bell did not shirk, after all, today is really a happy day for Qiao Ruoli, because as long as she becomes a top-grade female history, then as long as there are female officials in her place within the sixth bureau who are promoted, or deposed, they are the candidates for that vacant position.

"Well, I'll let you bleed back today." The bell said again and again, and tucked the silver ingot given by Qiao Ruoli into his sleeve.

"Okay, we have to hurry up, the eunuch who reads the reward may arrive at this moment, let's not hurry up, it's easy to make them unhappy, after all, if we are not female officials now, hahahahaha." Liuli saw that the journey had been delayed for a long time, so she hurriedly urged.

When he arrived at the residence, Qiao Ruoli saw Xiran from a distance, and hurriedly shouted, "Auntie, Auntie, I'm back." ”

Xi Ran looked at Qiao Ruoli's rarely so excited look, and didn't want to interrupt her, telling her that she already knew, so she just waved with a smile.

"Aunt Xiran, you don't know how powerful Ruoli is today. Not only was he appreciated by the queen, but even the emperor praised him. And now he has been named a top-grade insider. Bell was straightforward, and when he saw Xiran, he immediately said the good news loudly.

"It's your quick mouth, you should let Ruoli tell Aunt Xiran about this." Although Liuli is also very flamboyant, she is still much calmer than the bell, and she can't help pinching her nose when she looks at the bell's fast mouth.

"If it's out of this time, I actually entered the official career on the first day of assessment, which is amazing." When Aunt Yang Xiu heard this, she also came out of the east wing.

Aunt Ma Ling from the West Wing also came out to congratulate, and the atmosphere in the whole room was really festive.

After a while, the eunuch also came over, and after Qiao Ruoli received the reward, he also gave the eunuch some happy money, and the eunuch gave the little silver ingot, and the smile on his face was full of joy.

"Bell, you hurry up and get some food, several aunts are resting early, and Liuli will continue the exam tomorrow, we can't make it too late, wait for Liuli's results to come out in a few days, let's get together later." Qiao Ruoli said and stuffed the bell with a small silver ingot.

After all, according to Qiao Ruoli's original plan, he just wanted the three of them and Aunt Xiran to get together together. But in the East Wing. Aunt Yang Xiu and Aunt Ma Ling from the West Wing also came out to say hello, so they should be invited together.

But this small silver ingot is estimated to be insufficient, but the bell waved his hand when he saw this, and pushed back Qiao Ruoli's hand holding the small silver ingot, and said: "This one is enough, I don't need a lot of money if I have a good relationship with that side." ”

Qiao Ruoli could only say that he had to give the bell a bad thing, and in the end, the bell could only be reluctantly accepted, after all, Qiao Ruoli knew what the bell was going to do. Even if the money is really insufficient, the bell will not take the initiative to ask for it, even if he asks, he will only say no, and subsidize his own money. But this is how human affection slowly fades. Although Qiao Ruoli picks the door, he treats his friends. It's still very righteous, and you can't let your friends lose.

After a while, the bell came back with the food box, his face was still very happy, and when he entered the house, he whispered to Liuli and Qiao Ruoli: "Do you know what I just brought back?" Stewed pigeon soup with ginseng and red dates. I heard that it was today. Presented to the emperor, but the emperor felt that the weather was hot. I put the dish back. I'm afraid that the fire will be too big after eating. But like us, we don't see a few people who have meat in a year, and there is absolutely no problem in eating this, and I smelled it very fragrant just now. ”

"Don't you eat much like this, I see that your little monthly silver should have been bought to eat." Liuli glanced at the bell and said, but his hand was very neatly raised.

Qiao Ruoli looked at these dishes and suddenly felt that something was wrong, because this table could not be solved by two small silver ingots, so he had to quietly pull the bell aside and ask, "How much did you spend on this table, I look at it, it can't be solved by two silver ingots." ”

"Don't worry, it really didn't cost much, the heat has been heavy these days, the emperor and queen have a bad appetite for anything, and there are a lot of dishes that have been withdrawn, so it costs a lot less than usual." The bell waved his hand, ran out with a pout, and called Aunt Yang Xiu and Aunt Ma Ling from the east and west wings.

It's just that Qiao Ruoli's mood is still uneasy, after all, she has never bought food without permission, and naturally she doesn't know the price, in fact, it is like this kind of hot weather, and the food bureau is afraid that the returned vegetables will spoil quickly, and the price is usually only half of what it sells in winter.

Liuli looked elated on the table, and Qiao Ruoli was also sure that Liuli was really not angry with herself, but when she shouted that she had to drink two more glasses, the bell was angry.

"You are a drunken putty, you can't walk when you see good wine, don't you know that you have a few pounds and a few taels, what will you do if you drink too much for tomorrow's exam." Bell angrily snatched the glass from the glass and spoke.

"I'm drinking well, but seeing that you care about me so much, I'll reluctantly accept your opinion, don't drink or drink." Liuli didn't get angry when she saw the bell looking angry, but said with a smile.

"Who cares about you, I'm teaching you a lesson, do you understand?" Seeing this, Bell couldn't wait to pinch his waist and fight with Ruri.

"Hahaha, then why don't you let me drink it." Liuli still smiled and said angrily at the bell.

"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to pass the female official exam, and if you both become female officials, I will have a good life." The bell glanced at Liuli and said.

"Hahaha, it's good to be young, Ma Ling, we were so carefree when we were young." When Yang Xiu saw Ruri and Bell arguing, she not only didn't feel noisy, but felt very cute.

"Yes, we have grown up since childhood, but how many years have passed, and I don't know how many years have we not been so troublesome. Come and drink, Aunt Xiran together. "Aunt Ma Ling has some of the momentum of the children of the rivers and lakes, and she also gulps down the wine, Qiao Ruoli thought that her wine was not enough at first, but she didn't expect that Aunt Ma Ling actually moved out of her house a large jar of good wine, and told them that they could drink enough today.
