"Mother, why are you here?"

Gu Muqi, who was admiring the flowers in the courtyard of Yongbao Pavilion, watched Zhao Guifei follow a group of subordinates, and walked in with many large boxes in his arms.

Zhao Guifei looked at Gu Muqi with a smile and said, "Isn't my sister going back to the house to save her relatives?" Now that the emperor has not been established for a long time, the big and small affairs of the harem must be managed by me, and I have come to prepare congratulatory gifts for the concubines in the past. ”

She dismantled the objects in her hands and put them in Gu Muqi's main hall, and Cai Ni lit them in the house.

A pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of jade double bottles, thirteen palace fans, eight boxes of splendid sachets, forty Pu'er tea groups, two pieces of Baihua python satin, fifty gold five-color silk, twenty gold five-color silk paper, 20 white dew paper, and 20 Korean paper, and one red sandalwood lacquered copper cloisonné enamel dragon boat Sendai......

Gu Muqi looked at this dazzling array of gifts, and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Guifei again and again.

Zhao Guifei smiled, patted Gu Muqi's arm and said to her, "Sister, this provincial family is a big deal, and we have always had the custom of rehearsing and rehearsing in various courtyards before the provincial relatives in our harem. The first is to see if the formation is neat, and the second is to see what else the maids and servants in each courtyard did not expect. ”

Gu Muqi listened and nodded tightly.

Indeed, as a concubine in the palace now, going home to visit relatives is a matter of showing the majesty of the country, and it is also a matter of adding luster to the face of his own family, so he must not be careless.

She called Man'er and asked her to organize the group of people who would return home with her tomorrow to stand in line in the courtyard and wait for Zhao Guifei's guidance.

In fact, there is no such custom in the palace at all, there are so many concubines in the three palaces and six courts, and Zhao Guifei can't go home to visit relatives every nobody, she comes to command in person.

After she came out of Shoukang Palace yesterday, she thought hard about how to do things beautifully and without showing her feet.

After thinking about it for a night, I made up my mind, this matter can only be done from the people next to Mu Guiren.

She had also heard about the poisoning of Princess Xuan and the Liu family in her house before, so how the Liu family died tragically, and how the Xuan prince killed mercilessly also left a deep impression on her, if she mixed something in the gift, she would naturally be able to find out.

She looked at the twenty maids and ten little eunuchs lined up in front of her, bowing their heads and lining up to stand in the middle of the garden of the Yongbao Pavilion.

"Guifei Niangniang, these are the maids and eunuchs who serve and follow closely, as well as the thirty guards and elite soldiers given by the emperor, they can't enter this harem, so there is no way to come and show you. That's pretty much the formation. ”

Zhao Guifei walked around in two neat columns of subordinates, and she carefully looked at the faces of each maid.

Suddenly, she was happy in her heart, an inconspicuous little maid in this team actually looked extremely similar to a maid who cleaned her bedroom in the palace.

She couldn't help but sigh happily in her heart, God helped me.

Zhao Guifei lifted the skirts of those maids and frowned, "Why are these shoes so dirty, Mu Guiren, you have to be kind to this person, and the silver money that is distributed to you every month in Yongbao Pavilion will also buy some clothes for the next person, such a dirty dress, people are afraid that they are not going to say that our harem is stingy behind their backs." ”

Gu Muqi is used to being an idle lady on weekdays, and there was a supervisor in charge of housekeeping in her family before, and when she entered the palace, she thought that someone should worry about her for her, and when she heard Zhao Guifei say this, she couldn't help blushing.

instructed the barbarian to hurry up and go to the Internal Affairs Office to get a new set of clothes for these maids and little eunuchs.

"Thank you so much sister, my sister works so weekdays, and she has to come to me to watch these small details for me that I can't notice." Gu Muqi took Zhao Guifei's hand and hurriedly thanked him.

Zhao Guifei also took Gu Muqi's hand and said, "What's this, everyone is sisters, and they will live together for a lifetime in the future, don't say these foreign words." ”

The two dismissed the people in the courtyard, and chatted about some precautions for returning to the mansion and province, and Zhao Guifei said goodbye to the noon and went back to her palace.

"Little Guizi!" As soon as she walked into the hall, Zhao Guifei called all the maids around her.

"The minions are here." The little nobleman listened to Zhao Guifei calling his name, and knelt down in front of Zhao Guifei with a twist, "What do you have to tell the slaves?" ”

Zhao Guifei squinted her eyes and looked at the face of the maid in her room, and said to the little nobleman, "You go and pull out the few maids who often clean up the dust in my inner bed." ”

Xiao Guizi lowered his head and agreed, turned around and walked into the queue of people, and quickly pulled out six little maids with their heads down and trembling on their bodies.

"Let's go down with the rest!" Zhao Guifei waved her hand and dismissed the people kneeling below.

She stood up, walked up to the six little maids dressed in pale pink maid suits and with palace flowers on their heads, and pinched their chins with her slender and cold fingers, and lifted their heads one by one.

The little nobleman followed Zhao Guifei slowly on the side, and from time to time gently kicked the maid who didn't stand.

"That's her." Zhao Guifei stopped in front of a maid with Danfeng eyes and a young face, and said to the little nobleman.

The little nobleman dragged the little maid's braid and pulled her in front of Zhao Guifei. , kicked her knee with her foot, and with a "poof", the little maid knelt in front of Zhao Guifei's chair.

"All of you go down!" Zhao Guifei waved her hand at the other maids, and the group of maids scattered like wild horses on the loose.

"What's your name?" Zhao Guifei lowered her head and asked the little girl who was trembling in front of her.

The little maid didn't know what she was about to face, and she was so nervous that she didn't hear Zhao Guifei's question about herself, and the little nobleman next to her saw this, kicked her, and whispered, "The master asked you!" ”

"My name is Lan'er." The girl said timidly.

Zhao Guifei stood up, walked in front of her, squatted down gently, and helped her up, "Xiao Lan'er, how old are you this year?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid just turned twelve years old this year."

"That's a good age." Zhao Guifei pulled her to her side and asked her to sit down with her, "Xiao Lan'er, you don't have to be afraid, it's not that you made any mistakes when I came to you today, but that I want you to do an errand for me, if you do this, you will be my personal maid by my side in the future, and when you are over eighteen, I will make you a grandmother to ensure your future glory and wealth." ”
