When the big eunuch heard this, he immediately stepped forward smartly and replied: "Slave Zheng Fuquan, see Niangniang." ”

The palace maid in charge stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner: "Slave Qiuyin, see your concubine Niangniang." ”

Luo Xinfang bowed his head slightly and said, "Well, they are all good names." Let the rest of the people disperse, and you two will stay. ”

When the palace people heard this, they all hurriedly put away the rewards and went to do their own work, after all, this noble concubine didn't look like some kind of foolish master.

Luo Xinfang took the lead in looking at Zheng Fuquan and asked, "How long have you been in the Lotus Palace?" ”

Zheng Fuquan immediately lowered his eyebrows and replied, "If you go back to Niangniang, the slave has been serving in this palace for about five years. The slaves were originally serving Concubine Jingyi, but now the concubines have moved to the palace in the Cining Palace, and the servants have stayed as the foreman eunuch. ”

The big eunuch beside Concubine Jingyi stayed in the Juhe Palace?

Moreover, although the first emperor died in the prime of life, Zheng Fuquan only served the first emperor's concubines for only five years, and the time seemed to be too short.

He looks like he's in his thirties.

Luo Xinfang suppressed the doubts in his heart and instructed Zheng Fuquan: "Well, the newcomers who will be selected will enter the palace in three days, and you will take people to clean up the side halls and side halls in the past few days, so as not to be caught off guard." ”

Zheng Fuquan flattered: "Yes, it is still the mother who is thoughtful, and the slave admires." ”

"Go down first, and do as I tell you." Luo Xinfang didn't like Zheng Fuquan's flattering attitude very much.

"Yes, the minions are retired." Zheng Fuquan bowed his head and retreated.

Luo Xinfang looked at Qiu Yin who was standing on the side.

When she asked Zheng Fuquan just now, Qiu Yin had been standing quietly to the side, not even moving her fingers, looking very steady.

"Qiu Yin?"

"The slave is here." The palace maid named Qiu Yin immediately replied to her words.

Luo Xinfang nodded and asked Qiu Yin the same question: "How long have you been in this Lotus Palace?" ”

Qiu Yin bowed her head and replied: "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid was originally serving Concubine Jingsu, and after Concubine Jingsu died, the slave and maid returned to Juhe Palace as an errand boy, and now they have been serving in this Juhe Palace for more than ten years. ”

Luo Xinfang sorted out the information.

Qiu Yin has been in the Juhe Palace for about ten years, and Zheng Fuquan has become the foreman eunuch in less than five years. And looking at Zheng Fuquan's character, most of them are sleek and sophisticated, so if you think about it, this Concubine Jingyi should be a high-ranking concubine, and this Concubine Jingsu may be an old man in the Juhe Palace, but her rank is not high.

Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Qiu Yin, you seem to be very stable, and in the future, the palace will have to ask you to help you in the affairs of the big and small affairs in this Lotus Palace." ”

Qiu Yin hurriedly replied: "Niangniang said this is really tormenting the slave maid, the slave and maid are the people of this Lotus Palace, and they must do things for the Lotus Palace wholeheartedly, but Niangniang is the first to look forward." ”

Luo Xinfang said satisfied: "Very good, you go down first, if you have any orders, I will send someone to find you." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Qiu Yin took the order and retreated.

Yinping saw that there were no outsiders in the hall, so he whispered beside Luo Xinfang: "Niangniang, the slave thinks that Zheng Fuquan is not like that honest person." ”

"Well, let's observe for a while, we are new to the palace, and we don't know much about the situation in the palace, and we will be able to use him in the future." Luo Xinfang said lightly.

Yinping replied: "Yes, Niangniang is wise." ”

Luo Xinfang looked at the busy figure outside the window, and commanded: "In the past two days, you and Yintian have paid more attention to those people outside, if you feel that there are people who are down-to-earth and willing to work, leave people in our Yuanling Hall before the selected people come in, and if not, you may have to pick a few more people in the inner court." ”

"Yes, slave remembers." Yinping and Yintian replied in unison.

Luo Xinfang looked at the silver screen and added, "I still have something to explain to you." Go and inquire where the people who entered the palace with me live now, and what positions they have. ”

Yinping replied respectfully: "Don't worry, the slave will go later." ”

Luo Xinfang nodded to the two and said, "Well, you guys go down, I'm tired." ”

Yinping and Yintian received the order and bowed and withdrew from the Yuanling Palace, and went on their own errands.

Now that there are no more trivial matters to disturb, Luo Xinfang began to look at the scenery of Juhe Palace.

Juhe Palace is exquisitely decorated, antique, the scenery is mostly fresh and elegant, and it should be the first part of this harem on elegance and exquisiteness.

It seems that the ancestors really favored the lotus concubine, and this Juhe Palace from the layout of the palace to the patterns on the furnishings, everywhere reveals exquisite and ingenious, and it must have cost a lot of financial and material resources.

The Yuanling Hall is very large, the east side of the main hall is the east room, which is the place of hospitality and dining, and the west side is the West Warm Pavilion, the bedroom is located there, and there is also a small ear room, for the purpose of grooming and bathing.

Luo Xinfang entered the warm pavilion and lay on the couch.

Juhe Palace has always been carefully cleaned by palace people, but after all, no one has lived in it for a long time, and it can't help but exude a cold atmosphere at this time.

Luo Xinfang touched the soft curtain and thought about fasting.

It's only been a few days since I ate and drank well at home, and I'm going to live this vegetarian life again.

In the ancestral system of Dayan, after the palace concubines above the rank of five concubines were awarded the treasure book on the day they entered the palace, they had to fast and bathe for three days to show their sincerity to their ancestors.

Concubines who are below the fifth rank have no treasure book to confer, which means that they are not qualified to fast.

After the end of the fast, the concubines will go to Fengyi Palace to meet the queen, and after asking the queen to say goodbye, they can officially hang up the green head card to sleep.

Most of the selected women have low status, and they are not qualified to meet the queen mother and queen after entering the palace. After they entered the palace and cleaned up, the first thing they had to do was to meet the lord of the first house, and then they began to wait indefinitely.

When did the emperor remember that there was such a person in the harem, and after turning over their signs, they could go to see the queen.

If the emperor can't think of it, they will have to wait until their faces turn into dry bones.

Even so, there are still countless people who want to enter this cannibalistic deep palace.

After thinking about it, a wave of tiredness hit, Luo Xinfang closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

The next day, after Luo Xinfang finished freshening up, he called Yinping and Yintian to come over to serve.

Luo Xinfang took a sip of tea from the teacup in his hand, his eyes first turned to Yintian, and asked, "Are these people in the Lotus Palace useful?" ”

Yintian saw that his master was looking at him, so he replied after careful consideration: "The slave maid looked at it all day yesterday, and felt that there were two little eunuchs and two little palace maids who seemed to be diligent in their hands and feet, but they didn't know what it would be like after a long time. ”

Luo Xinfang nodded and looked at the silver screen again.

Yinping replied with a smile: "The slave maid thinks the same as Yintian, and also thinks that those four people are indeed sharper than others, and they should do work often." The slave is foolish, now is the time to use people, these people can be used first, if you think that a few of them are not easy to use in the future, find a reason to send it out. ”

"Since that's the case, then transfer these four people to our Yuanling Palace, and the others don't need to. The rest of the vacancies will be picked again when someone is sent from the inner court. Luo Xinfang put down the teacup, looked at Yintian and said, "Yintian go down first, and then take a closer look at the four people before the end of the fast, if there are any variables, come and report to the palace at any time." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Yin Tian saw that his suggestion had been adopted, and his voice was faintly excited.

After Yintian withdrew from the Yuanling Palace, Luo Xinfang looked at Yintian's still somewhat petite back and sighed.

"In the end, she is a lively character, and it hurts her to be held like this all the time."

Yinping stepped forward to change a cup of tea for Luo Xinfang, and said: "How can people never grow up, Niangniang is doing this for her good." Niangniang explained the slave and maid yesterday, and the slave and maid have inquired clearly. ”

Luo Xinfang immediately changed his mind and asked, "How?" ”

Yinping replied softly: "Miss Lin sealed Zhaoyi and now lives in the Lintoe Palace. Miss Jiang sealed the Xiuyi, gave the word Xian, and lived in the Lingxi Palace. Miss Zhao sealed the Chongyi, gave the word Hui, and lived in Bixiao Palace. ”

Luo Xinfang picked up the tea cup and looked down at the clear tea soup.

The Queen Mother is really calculating!

The position of the concubine belongs to the palace affairs, and it has always been discussed by the queen mother and the queen before being sent to the emperor, and finally decided by the emperor.

And today's saint's temperament doesn't look like he wants to take care of these things at all, and the queen is young and has little qualifications, so most of the power is still in the hands of the queen mother.

The positions of these three people are the heads of the nine concubines, but the actual difference between the upper nine concubines, the middle nine concubines, and the lower nine concubines is big, after all, only Zhaoyi, the head of the upper nine concubines, can assist in some palace affairs, and the rest of the names are just good to say.

And Empress Dowager Lin asked for titles for Jiang Ling and Zhao Wanying.

The title represents the honor of the saint, and sometimes the title is even heavier than the weight of the position.

But if you want to compare the power of the assistant palace affairs with the title, it must be that the real power is more important.

Luo Xinfang sneered and did not comment.

Yinping observed his mother's face, thought about it and continued.

"That Miss Wei has sealed the position of Shuyi, given the word soft, and lives in Hanzhang Palace."

Wei Qingshuang? Rou Shuyi?

Luo Xinfang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Whether it's soft or gentle, either of these two words doesn't match her at all, right?

Yinping saw Luo Xinfang smiling happily, and for a while he didn't know whether he should continue to talk.

Seeing this, Luo Xinfang took away the smile on his face, and said, "You go on." ”

Yinping immediately replied: "There is also the Miss Wang specially mentioned by Niangniang, a beauty who has been sealed as a six-grade beauty, and lives in the side hall of Lingxi Palace. There are more than 20 noble ladies who were elected to the palace this time, and only those ladies are above you. ”

Does Wang Lingyi live with Jiang Ling......

As long as she doesn't live in the same place as Wei Qingshuang, it will be a blessing.

After hearing the news, Luo Xinfang ordered: "Well, you should also step down, remember to keep an eye on Dian Qiuyin and Zheng Fuquan." ”

"Yes, sissy." Yinping took the order and retreated.

Soon there was only one person left in the huge Yuanling Palace, Luo Xinfang.

Luo Xinfang let out a long sigh of relief. Sure enough, she still likes to be quiet, and she doesn't like so many people waiting around.
