There was a person sitting behind the desk, it was Sheng Jingyu who had only seen it last night.

Sheng Jingyu was reading a book when she saw Almond come in and frowned.

"Who gave you permission to come in?"

Almond was also stunned, and clearly understood the disgusted expression on Sheng Jingyu's face.

She said aggrievedly: "Didn't you ask me to come, Your Majesty?" ”

Even if the death penalty is over, how can you still look down on people?

Sheng Jingyu looked at her carefully and said loudly, "You come here." ”

Almond obediently walked over and watched as he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her cheek.

It wasn't until the handkerchief was black that Almond realized what she was now, and she quickly lowered her head with a startled exclamation.

"Hahaha......"

A pleasant laugh came from his head, which made Almond's face steam.

Is...... Shame on you...... She actually used a smoked face to see the holy face.

"No wonder you were struggling last night, it turned out that I was washing as Chinese cabbage?" Sheng Jingyu teased.

Almond naturally didn't think he was joking, and quickly explained.

"There are no minions, but the minions serve His Majesty as a treasure, so they are so careful."

Baby?

Sheng Jingyu had never heard this kind of analogy, and couldn't help but laugh again.

When he had laughed enough, he asked curiously.

"You're a cook, why did you end up in the dormitory last night?"

Really...... Should it come or is it coming?

Almond replied honestly: "Last night the slave's friend, a very important person in the palace was sick, and he begged the slave to help him on duty, so that he could take care of the sick. ”

Sheng Jingyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Oh? It seems that you are still very affectionate. ”

"The slave just thinks of his younger brother, and the younger brother is also weak and sick, so the slave can understand the feelings of being a relative." Almond shook her head.

"Is your brother well?"

Almond shook his head heavily, "The slave doesn't know, the slave entered the palace to treat his younger brother, but the slave is illiterate and doesn't know what his younger brother wrote to the slave." ”

Sheng Jingyu also has a brother, and seeing her and her brother's deep brotherhood is quite touching.

He muttered, "It's free another day, I'll help you take a look." ”

With Sheng Jingyu's promise, Almond's heavy mood was swept away, and after a while of joy, she realized another meaning in her words.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Have you not punished me? ”

Sheng Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "You really want me to cure your sins?" ”

Almond quickly shook his head, his expression suddenly relaxed, and the big stone in his heart finally landed.

"How many taels do you have now?"

"From the ninth grade of the moon three taels." This is still a kitchen servant, and ordinary eunuchs and palace maids can only have two taels.

Almond felt that he was already quite proud to have so many Yulu, but he saw Sheng Jingyu's face, "That's it?" Expression.

She is just a little cook, a petty official at the bottom of the nine grades, where can she compare with the emperor who sits on the golden mountain.

She pouted, and listened to Sheng Jingyu again.

"I'll give you a chance to get a promotion and a raise."

And such a good thing? She did something wrong, can she still be promoted?

Almond looked at Sheng Jingyu with shining eyes, like a begging dog.

"To be my imperial bather, I am ten times the size of the nine grades."

Almond was stunned for a while before she understood what Sheng Jingyu meant.

The imperial bather, literally, is the emperor's royal bather.

Almond has never heard of this profession, and there has never been such a profession throughout the ages, it seems to be Sheng Jingyu's original official name.

If she agrees, the monthly salary will be thirty taels, and in addition to her own expenses, the rest can be taken out by her parents and brothers outside the palace.

In the blink of an eye, almonds thought of many benefits.

Although this official name is a bit strange, the benefits are good, there is a lot of money, and it is not a tiring job.

As for the companion like a companion tiger, where is it not a place to eat people in the palace, as long as she is obedient, does her own thing, and is strict with herself, she will not cause any mistakes.

Thinking of this, Almond smiled slightly, and two shallow pear vortices appeared on his cheeks, which were very sweet.

"The slave is willing to share the worries of His Majesty."

Sheng Jingyu was a little funny, looking at her gray face, her smart eyes were rolling and rolling, like a little money fan.

"Look at your sloppy appearance, go down."

Almond was struck, remembered how funny he was now, and hurriedly exited the study.

Outside the study, Gonggong Li was still waiting outside, and when he saw her come out, he took the initiative to say.

"The miscellaneous family will take you to your new residence."

Almond, as a new imperial bather, lived very close to the dormitory in order to facilitate the emperor's service.

Her room had long been cleaned up, the whole room was clean and tidy, only a single bed, which was a world of difference from her previous Chase bunk.

She had just finished surveying the room when several eunuchs came in with a bucket of water and left without saying a word.

Almond naturally thought of it at once, His Majesty thought she was dirty, so let her take a bath.

By the time Almond had taken a bath and changed into a crescent-colored robe, Nansansuo and Jing'an Palace had already discussed her in full swing.

What to discuss? Naturally, it was this leap forward promotion.

A kitchen servant inexplicably became a royal bathing master, although they didn't know what a imperial bathing master was, but anyone with the royal character was an official from the fifth grade or above.

This kitchen is really a good life, and he has been favored by His Majesty, which is really enviable.

Of course, some people envy her, some people envy her, and some people are reluctant to her.

Song Ran returned to Nansansuo that night, only to learn that Almond had been promoted and transferred to Jing'an Palace, and his heart was happy and uncomfortable for a while.

Of course, Almond didn't know all this, and after a few days of working as a bather, she felt that she was simply too laid-back.

Sheng Jingyu only needs her at night, and she is even a little bored during the day.

She couldn't sit still, so she hurriedly went to Gonggong Li to ask for a job.

The sundries in Jing'an Palace were naturally made by the little eunuchs, so the almonds were arranged by Gonggong Li to take care of the flowers and plants outside the palace.

It is said that it is to take care of the flowers and plants, but in fact, it is better to let the almonds go out for a walk.

Because the flowers and plants where the almonds pass are neatly trimmed and grow lushly, I think there are already gardeners managing them.

Almonds walked around, and there was a fragrant osmanthus tree in the southwest, and she couldn't walk when she got there.

She sat under the tree basking in the warm sun, and when she looked up, the sun was a little harsh, and she couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.

The sun shone through the almond's fingers, and her hands were so white and tender that they were almost transparent.

It's also strange to say that almonds have been doing rough work since they were children, but they still have fine skin and tender meat.

After entering the palace, she washed and chopped vegetables every day to burn firewood, and sometimes helped the imperial chefs fry two dishes.

But those hands, I really can't tell that they are hands doing rough work, and there is no callus at all.
