Chapter 263: The Palace Maid Deployment
Jiaqing called Hehuan back because there was no one to serve him in Yuqing Palace.
The New Year is approaching, and the affairs of the palaces are busy, in addition to remobilizing individual palace maids, it is the palace maids who are trained by Lan Xin who are more prominent.
When Lan Xin received a notice from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Shufangzhai, Xi'er and Qiao An came in.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xi'er and Qiao An had just sent the washed clothes to Concubine Yinggui, and when they came back, they saw Lan Xin, who was a little absent-minded.
Lan Xin was stunned, "Oh." ”
"Just now, the slave maid saw Gonggong Xu from the Internal Affairs Office walking out, is there something wrong?" Joan looked at Lan Xin, as if she wanted to know something from her eyes.
Lan Xin raised her head at this time, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Just now, Gonggong Xu came over and said that all palaces need to add palace maids who serve closely, especially Jingren Palace and Yanxi Palace. ”
Surprise, and then surprise overflowed the eyes of the two people.
Who doesn't want to serve a high-ranking master when she enters the palace, let alone the concubine Niangniang, who has served the emperor for the longest time, and the imperial concubine who is in the same middle palace.
However, people, that's it, when you don't get it, you desperately want to get it, and once you get it, you will want more, for example, who goes to Yanxi Palace, who goes to Jingren Palace.
There is no shortage of people who dare to think about the palace maids, the harem concubines are thin, and they have never added a few children to the emperor.
Isn't Rong Changzai an example of them?
Each of the two principals has its own advantages.
The imperial concubine, although she is the head of all the concubines, but she went to Biyun Temple to "be punished" for a long time before coming back, and she is really not a powerful "good bird wood".
And although the concubine Niangniang is a concubine, but because she has no heirs, she has accompanied the emperor for so many years, even if she has a little contradiction with the imperial concubine, she has always been in the harem, and I have to admit that it makes people feel that she has a future.
Fortunately, although Xi'er and Joan get along very well, their personalities complement each other.
Xi'er is outgoing, Qiao An is introverted, it is really an excellent combination that Lan Xin loves, and what makes Lan Xin even more relieved is that both of them are daughters of poor families, they have no heart, they are simple and kind, so Lan Xin can't help but want to protect their sincerity.
"Well, I can go anywhere." Xi'er wanted to speak and stopped, obviously humble to Joan.
And Qiao An also looked at Xi'er understandingly, and doted: "The Internal Affairs Mansion has such a beautiful difference but has not been arranged by other mothers, it can be seen that my aunt has fought for this opportunity for us is not easy to come by, although Jingren Palace is the imperial concubine's bedroom, it is more noble, but Qiao An is really worried that she is not competent." ”
Qiao An looked at Lan Xin gratefully, with tears in her eyes.
Lan Xin's eyes were also warm, "You are all good girls, as long as you can be happy and peaceful in this palace, everything I have done is worth it." Are you sure you don't want to go to Gyeongin Palace? ”
Xi'er looked at Qiao An anxiously, worried, and almost mentioned the sentence "You don't want to change the hexagram" in her throat, swallowed and said nervously: "Yes, Qiao An, you have to think clearly, I can go anywhere." ”
Qiao An had already seen Xi'er's thoughts, and deliberately asked, "Then I-"
Xi'er opened her mouth slightly, looked at her with wide eyes, and saw Qiao An say: "I still decided to go to Concubine Yanniang's place, and Jingren Palace will be left to you to serve." ”
Xi'er seemed to be so excited that she couldn't get it enough, and said almost incoherently: "Sister, thank you, sister, if you can become rich one day, you must not forget your sister." ”
Joan "um" for a moment, holding Xi'er's hand with sincere eyes.
The two of them went to serve in two palaces, and they were actually going to separate. Xi'er was only immersed in happiness, and only remembered this incident when she returned to her room.
"Sister, you see I almost forgot, let's go, aren't we going to separate?" Xi'er was a little unhappy, anyway, she was most familiar with Qiao An in the palace, and I was really afraid that I would not be used to this separation.
Qiao An was packing up her things, and when she heard Xi'er's reluctance, she couldn't help but put down what she was doing, looked at Xi'er and comforted: "Although we are not together, it is our blessing to be able to go to the palace of the two masters. ”
Xi'er nodded and said with a smile: "What my sister said is also right!" ”
The two of them were looking forward to the days to come, and almost all night was sleepless, but their brains did not feel tired.
On the second day, walking on the long road, the sound of thumping heartbeats accompanied by the sound of clattering footsteps made people even more excited and nervous.
"Sister, I'm a little scared, what if you say that the imperial concubine doesn't like me?" Xi'er was wearing newly made clothes, and she was rarely a little restrained.
Qiao An shook Xi'er's sweaty hand tightly and said to her: "No, as long as you remember to think more about your master, you will always be trusted by your master." ”
Xi'er felt that Qiao Ann was her reassurance, and after saying this, Xi'er did quiet down for a while.
Walk to the archway.
To the west is Gyeongin Palace.
To the east is Yanxi Palace.
Xi'er looked at Qiao Ann and said to her, "Sister, we're going to be separated......"
Qiao An couldn't see these "hypocrisy" the most, so she said: "Remember that we have to share happiness and weal and woe." ”
Xi'er nodded firmly, three times, and then, Xi'er walked west, and Joan walked east.
Gyeongin Palace.
Xi'er walked to the plaque of Jingren Palace, suddenly stopped, took a few deep breaths, and patted her heart to cheer herself: "It's okay, it's okay, I can do it!" I'm sure I can ......."
Step into Gyeongin Palace.
Xi'er saw Shutong who was directing the others to work.
"Sister Shutong is good! I am Xi'er who came from Shufangzhai and served the imperial concubine. Xi'er's voice trembled a little, and she couldn't understand what she was talking when she saw Shutong.
"Well, come in." Dredging Tong Road.
As Shutong walked to the porch, Shutong turned his head and said to her: "You wait a minute, I'll report to the next mother." ”
"Mmmm, my aunt is busy first." Xi'er's eyelids were alive, and when she saw Shutong open the curtain and went in, she began to stand quietly.
"Niangniang, the joy of Shufangzhai is here." Shu Tong said.
Jing Wu is playing Go, and this game of chess is difficult to solve.
"Let her in." Jing Wu didn't raise her head and said.
Compared with Jingren Palace, the affairs of Yanxi Palace are much more complicated.
"Father-in-law, the slave is here to report." JoAnn didn't say anything else.
Feiran was already busy, and she didn't have time to explain her the rules in detail.
"Come in!" Concubine Yu said.
As soon as Joan wanted to enter, she was affected by a few people next to her.
"Joan!" A girl called her.
Qiao An still thought about who this was, and saw Liuli coming over.
"I'm the new maid who serves the concubine, and we'll learn together in the future."
Qiao An realized that Linglong went to Jingren Palace, and Liuli came to Yanxi Palace.
