Chapter 21: The Palace Banquet (3)
Palace
Mo Lingxin got up early in the morning, and a row of palace maids were waiting in the courtyard outside the hall. Seeing her come out, Mama Liu, the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Excuse me, are you ......?" Mo Lingxin asked suspiciously.
Mama Liu clasped her hands in front of her abdomen and bent down to salute: "Back to the princess, the slave maid is the housekeeper of the Internal Affairs Office, and she is responsible for training the palace maids." Gonggong Li in front of the emperor instructed the slaves and maids to allocate a group of palace maids to the Ruthless Palace. ”
"So much?" Mo Lingxin looked at the more than twenty people behind her and asked.
"These are single-picked, nimble. If the princess thinks there are too many, she can choose them again, or you can choose them all. Mama Liu explained.
"Leave eight people behind, and take the rest back!" Mo Lingxin thought about it and decided.
"Yes, Princess." Mama Liu turned around: "The first six in the front and the first two in the second row will stay, and the others will go back." "The people who stayed behind remembered, kept their duty, and entered the Ruthless Palace, you are the princess's people, and from now on, you will only have the princess as a master, do you hear?"
"Yes, Mama." Eight maids are slightly blessed.
Mama Liu turned around again and saluted Mo Ling's blessed body and said, "Princess, the slave has retired." If the princess needs anything, she will send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give instructions. ”
Mo Lingxin nodded, signaling for her to retreat. Mama Liu took the rest of the maids and left the courtyard.
"Come in." After Mo Lingxin finished speaking, she turned around and entered the hall, and eight maids followed her. Mo Lingxin sat in a chair and was about to speak. At this time, Qin Xiang walked in from outside the hall and came to her...... Princess, who are they? ”
"They are maidservants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiang'er, you go and call Hanyi and Hanyu to come here." Mo Lingxin looked at Qin Xiang and said.
"Oh, yes, princess." After saying that, he went out again.
After seeing her go out, Mo Lingxin turned his head to look at a few maidservants, "If you enter the Ruthless Palace, you are a person from the Ruthless Palace, and Steward Liu has also said it." What to do and what not to do, this palace thinks you all know it yourself. betrayed, otherwise you can't afford the consequences. Mo Lingxin said softly.
"The slave must be loyal to Her Royal Highness the princess and will never betray the judgment." The eight maids knelt down and said, their voices filled with a faint fear and uneasiness.
"Get up!" The handmaidens stood up tremblingly.
"The person who came in just now is also your master, and you have to be equally respectful to her, you know?"
"Yes, slave and maid obey." Several people were blessed at the same time.
Qin Xiang came to Mo Lingxin with a cold clothes and a cold jade, "Spirit ...... Heart princess, well. Princess, the cold clothes and jade have been brought. After speaking, he stood next to Mo Lingxin.
"Slave and maid, see the princess," Han Yu Fu saluted.
"No courtesy." Mo Lingxin looked at a few maidservants, "In the future, they will be the big maids by my side, and if you don't know how to do some things on weekdays, ask them." ”
"Yes," the handmaidens continued. "Let's go down. Winter clothes, go arrange their accommodation. ”
"Yes," he said, looking at a few handmaidens, "come with me." Then she walked out the door, and the maidservant girl followed her.
"Princess, what is the slave doing?" Winter clothes Fu Shen asked. Compared to the beginning, she is now speaking to Mo Lingxin and Qin Xiang more and more clearly, no longer cowardly, and intermittently.
"You don't have to do anything for a while. Let's go down and do your thing! Mo Lingxin replied.
"Yes" Wei Wei Fu finished speaking, and also retreated.
Qin Xiang looked at her until Han Yu disappeared before she spoke, "Lingxin, how did you see my performance just now?" Do I and Hanyi Hanyu want to learn the palace rules? ”
"Of course you have to learn, not only you, but I also have to learn, and there are many more that I don't understand. We'll see later. Mo Lingxin replied.
"Oh," Qin Xiang bowed her head and responded.
Both of them sat and did not speak again, and the hall was silent.
