Chapter 16: Birth (3)
Qianyue and Qianyun's work efficiency is still very fast, but it was only two days before they brought back an internal servant from the Internal Affairs Office.
Yun Xiao met with this chamberlain in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, and the person who came looked nearly ten years older than Yun Xiao, very old, should be a person who has been on duty in the Great Xia Palace for a long time, such a person, who is very familiar with the affairs of the palace, is indeed very in line with Yun Xiao's requirements.
is worthy of being the maid who has been with Yun Xiao for the longest time, and Qianyue and Qianyun are really the people who know Yun Xiao's mind the most.
Yun Xiao sent away the other palace people standing in the hall, leaving only Qianyue and Qianyun, and then asked the visitor
"I bother my father-in-law to go on this trip, in fact, this palace heard that my father-in-law used to be an old man from my Yunfu, and there are some things I want to ask my father-in-law!"
When the people heard this, they were a little flattered, and he hurriedly said, "The queen is the master of the harem, and the palace people in the Great Xia Palace are all in charge of the queen mother, what does the mother want to ask, just ask, the slave Qian Zhong must know everything, say everything, let the mother send!"
Yun Xiao said with a smile: "Father-in-law Qian is polite!" You've been in the palace for some years, right? ”
Qian Zhong replied, "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave entered the palace to take office, and this year is already the fourteenth year. ”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao nodded, and said, "In this way, my father-in-law is already an old palace man who is a powerful emperor of the two dynasties in this Great Xia Palace, and he knows and sees much more things than the queen who has just entered the palace!" ”
"Niangniang is the mother of a country, and the slave is lowly, how dare she compare with Niangniang?! Niangniang is really tormenting the old slave. ”
Although it was just a few words of conversation, Yun Xiao found that this Qian Zhong was humble and kind, not arrogant or impatient, and did not have the flattery of ordinary palace people, and was indeed very suitable to be the head of the middle palace, so she had a bottom in her heart, and she continued to ask
"Where did my father-in-law work before?"
Qian Zhong replied truthfully, "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave was originally on duty in the palace of Concubine Rou, when Concubine Rou was sick, the emperor had repeatedly replaced the palace people who served around Concubine Rou, and the slave was the first batch of palace people to be replaced, and later, Concubine Rou died of illness, and the slave was transferred to the Chengqian Palace on duty, but the slave was clumsy, and he was the old man in the palace of Concubine Rou, the emperor often missed Concubine Rou, and the chief manager took care of the emperor's emotions, so he sent the slave back to the Internal Affairs Office to do some idle chores. ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he was surprised and delighted, "Father-in-law has served by Concubine Rou's side?" How long? ”
Qian Zhong replied, "It's only three or four years...... It's not too long......"
However, at this time, in Yun Xiao's opinion, he has enough to understand Concubine Rou's personality.
Yun Xiao suddenly had the feeling of picking up a treasure.
She looked at Qian Zhong seriously and asked, "Since my father-in-law is now just doing some idle chores in the internal affairs house, thinking about it, there is no great future...... Would my father-in-law be willing to come to the middle palace to help the palace? ”
When Qian Zhong heard this, his eyes straightened.
Originally, he said that he was asking some questions, but he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, and for a while, he stayed in place for a long time, unable to move.
Seeing this, Qianyue and Qianyun covered their lips and laughed lowly.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao also wanted to laugh, but after all, she was the queen of the middle palace, so she had to hold back her smile, raise her voice slightly, and ask, "Father-in-law is unwilling?" ”
Qian Zhong came back to his senses at this time, he hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said loudly, "Thanks to the mother who does not give up, the slave is willing to smear his liver and brain, and once he takes effect, he will be loyal to his mother, bow to his best, and die!" ”
Yun Xiao couldn't hold back a smile after all, and chuckled, "Get up......
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Qian Zhong stood up at this time, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
Yun Xiao shook his head and ordered, "With the will of the palace, you will go to the internal service first to complete the formalities, and then come to the middle palace tomorrow to be on duty!" ”
"Yes! Slaves retreat! After saying this, Qian Zhong turned around happily and walked out.
At this moment, Qianyun suddenly said, "There are quite a lot of places where this father-in-law has been on duty, and the slave maid still thinks that he used to be on duty beside the Queen Mother, hehehehehe......"
Qianyun probably said something unintentionally, but when Qian Zhong heard this, he turned back and said, "Girl......"
He wanted to speak and stopped, and Yun Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. She made up her mind and said to Qian Zhongdao
"The father-in-law is about to become the head of the middle palace, it stands to reason that he is in charge of all the palace people in the middle palace, the little girls and the little chamberlains at the bottom have inappropriate words and deeds, although the father-in-law teaches, there is no need to taboo anything, it is their blessing to have the father-in-law to teach and manage, and the palace will never blame the father-in-law!"
Yun Xiao really understands the righteousness and is meticulous, Qian Zhong is really impressed, so he no longer has scruples, he said
"All the palace people who serve beside the Queen Mother must have been carefully selected by the Gao family, the Queen Mother has lived in the Middle Palace for many years, and has controlled the Internal Affairs Office with one hand, and now the head and deputy head of the Internal Affairs Office are all from the Gao family, therefore, whenever the people in the Queen Mother's palace come to the Internal Affairs Office to pick people, the Internal Affairs Office will inevitably send the clean people to the Queen Mother's palace for the Queen Mother to choose! The slave once served by the side of Concubine Rou, and the person that the Queen Mother disliked the most was Concubine Rou, so it was impossible for the slave to be on duty by the Queen Mother's side! ”
The amount of information in Qian Zhong's words was extremely large, and after Yun Xiao listened to it, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "Now the two internal supervisors in the internal affairs office are from the Gao family?" Father-in-law Qian, are you sure? ”
"The minion is pretty sure!"
Hearing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but gasp.
She suddenly understood that the day before yesterday, why did the Queen Mother "order" Concubine Li to hold a birthday banquet.
Seeing this, Qian Zhong asked, "Niangniang...... What special did you think of? ”
Yun Xiao turned his eyes to Qian Zhong and said, "There are ten days left, it is Concubine Li's birthday, the Queen Mother instructed Concubine Li to invite the concubines to her birthday banquet, and the palace naturally has to go, but ...... Concubine Li organizes the birthday banquet, and the things used, especially the food, need to be provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs! Hongu is feeling ...... Since the father-in-law is an idle errand in the internal affairs office, he will not work hard, but the errands in the middle palace are different, and the father-in-law needs to take care of the father-in-law, so that the father-in-law comes to the palace to serve, and there is no need to be in a hurry, people, there must be a transition period! ”
When Qian Zhong heard this, he instantly understood the meaning of Yun Xiao's words, and he hurriedly said, "Niangniang, don't worry, during this time, the servants in the Internal Affairs Mansion will inevitably pay attention to the things they send to Concubine Li's Yongning Palace, no matter how big or small, they will send the little maids under them to secretly report to Niangniang!" When I went back today, I would only say that Niangniang was dissatisfied with the flowers and plants sent by the Internal Affairs Office, and she was scolded, and before she was really transferred to the Middle Palace, she would never let others associate Niangniang with the slaves! ”
Sure enough, it is a personal essence, and Yun Xiao is very satisfied.
