Chapter 70: The First Experience of a Female Officer

Ying Shu smiled and nodded to the waiter, but she was uneasy in her heart, and she couldn't help but secretly blame Ying Chang's crow beak in her heart.

Well, she doesn't want to die in the palace.

Reminiscent of the fact that Taizong of the National Dynasty once made a big injustice in the harem because the concubine from North Korea was poisoned, the first to bear the brunt were these female officials, who were beheaded and gave thousands of people to death. Thinking about it like this, Ying Shu didn't feel a spirit, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

When I returned to the main hall, I saw Mrs. Wang with a helpless expression, just waving her hand and sighing: "In this way, you can only ask for more blessings." ”

Wang gradually was still ignorant, and was tilting his head and asking, "Isn't it good for my sister to be an official?" After that, he was stopped by Wang Zhan.

Wang Ying looked at Liu, and Liu looked at Ying Shu with an innocent expression, even hiding a faint worry.

Ying Chang looked at Ying Shu coldly, as if she was very dissatisfied.

Back in the Narcissus Pavilion, Ying Chang spat bitter water at Aunt Wang: "What's going on?" Why does the girl have such a good life? It's really unconvincing. ”

Aunt Wang was also dissatisfied: "You dead girl, it is accurate to say that others are good, and you have that kung fu to let the gods teach you to develop first." Every day is to pray for the blessing of others. Then Aunt Wang thought about it and became more and more unconvinced: "The master is only four grades!" This girl has not yet married and has been sealed with six products, this is going to cross you! Let me tell you, if you don't pay close attention to the wealth of the eldest princess of Fuchang, I am afraid that the Duchess of the country will be that girl in the future. ”

Ying Chang was excited, as if she had been woken up from head to toe, "This ...... This girl is now close to the palace. If you want to rob the marriage, I'm afraid ......"

The three-day period passed in a blink of an eye, and soon Yingshu was on the day to enter the palace. Although he often enters the palace, this time the feeling is really different, and the attendants who lead the way in the two places are also respectful, as if they are afraid of offending. Even along the way, there were also palace maids who saluted him and called out, "My lord." ”

The heavy Zhai flower crown on his head taught himself to be very uncomfortable, and the long mopping and long-tailed red haze made him feel like he would be tripped when he walked, which was originally a good way to walk, but this time he felt that it took twice as much time as before.

When she arrived at Kunming Palace, Mei Xiang, who was beside the queen, stepped forward to greet Yingshu, and said very kindly: "The queen is inside, I just saw the concubines and girls, and they are drinking medicine." Please wait a minute. ”

After preliminary training, Ying Shu already understood that the palace maids around the empress dowager and concubine in the palace were all regarded as the female eunuchs of the third-grade officials, although they were fictitious and had no real power to manage the harem, but they were also noble, so they were even more respectful: "Mrs. Li is serious, you are a female eunuch, more noble than the concubine." ”

Mei Xiang is humble and easy to get along with: "My lord, where is this, although it is a third grade, but it is just a palace maid." How can you compare to an adult? ”

This is true, under the harem female official system, although the palace maids around the queen mother have noble faces, such dignity is a little less noble than in front of the harem female officials, after all, the female officials of the Inner Servant Bureau are the ones who are in charge of things in a dignified manner. However, the female officials around the Queen Mother are still palace maids after all.

Ying Shu thought about it again, so she said: "The queen mother takes medicine? But Jade is unwell? ”

Mei Xiang shook her head: "It's just a medicine to nourish the body." Lord Law bothered. ”

After a while, the queen's will to summon her came out, and Yingshu followed the courtesy. I saw the queen sitting on the throne of the golden phoenix in front of a silk yarn embroidered gold and silver silk phoenix peacock in front of the main hall, wearing a red woven gold and jade rabbit chase sleeve robe, and the lower body is also a horse face with a golden cloud and sea water pattern, and a full set of red gold pearls on the head.

"Concubine Wang Shi visited the queen, the queen mother is blessed with gold and peace, and Changle is endless. I would like to invite the queen to teach me, and I am very happy. ”

The queen said some words on the scene, and then ordered Yingshu to get up kindly, and said gently: "Speaking of which, it is also your own face, so Your Majesty wants to teach you to come to the palace as a female official for a few days." The dynasty has always had the tradition of girls from families entering the palace as female officials, and if you can get a face in the palace in the future, it will also be an honor for your family. ”

Yingshu understands the truth, but people are cowardly, so she is very afraid.

Compared with gaining face in front of the group of nobles in the palace, Yingshu wants to keep her peace in the palace, and then be a rich woman happily.

"Your Majesty's queen is loved, and the concubines are honored." Ying Shu smiled fakely, but she was already uneasy in her heart.

"Wait, the children of Uncle Wuqing's family will also enter the palace. You also have a companion. ”

Ying Shu respectfully retreated to the seat of the queen's lower right, waiting for the arrival of the legendary Shi family girl.

After a while, someone reported that Shi Sishan was here. Even if a woman came in with the same dress as Yingshu, she looked younger than Yingshu, comparable to fifteen years old, smiling on her lips and dimpled, which looked very comfortable.

The queen instructed a few more words according to the custom, and then said, "You two should go to the chef to have a look first." Naturally, Anscha will take you over. The two of you enter the palace together, so you can take care of it in the future. ”

The two replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Along the way, Ying Shu walked respectfully, but the girl of the Shi family was enthusiastic and easy to say, and she chattered and chattered all the way, and even explained the layout of the six bureaus and twenty divisions in the palace clearly, and even the six palaces and the masters behind them all introduced Ying Shu. Ying Shu listened to this, and secretly remembered it in her heart.

Miss Shi's name is Shi Liyun, and she is the only daughter of Wuqing Bo Shiheng, so she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and she is a typical beauty raised in the golden pile of jade. And Uncle Wuqing is the founder of the country, so the Shi family is naturally prominent, perhaps because the Shi family can often enter the palace and be so familiar with the palace.

Shi Liyun grabbed Yingshu's sleeve and said affectionately: "I have long heard that my sister makes good tea, and in the palace in the future, I will ask my sister to help me make some tea." I don't know if I have such a mouthful. ”

Yingshu felt deep remorse, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong.

Such a reputation is far and wide, and it is good to live in the future.

"That's natural, as long as Lord Shi likes it and doesn't dislike it."

Shi Lijun pouted, "What do you do adults come and go?" I don't like the name. ”

Ying Shu didn't dare to be too intimate: "How can this be? ”

Shi Lijun looked at Ying Shu and tilted her head to look: "Do you think that you are not familiar with me like this?" But you're interesting, we'll get along in the palace for a long time in the future, and sooner or later we'll be ripe. ”

Ying Shu smiled, which was a response.

When I went to the Shang Shi Bureau, An Shang Shi, the director of the Shang Shi Bureau, was already waiting at the door. Because Yingshu and Shi Lijun are both daughters of noble families and have noble status, An Shangshi naturally will not take out the posture of his superiors to suppress Yingshu and Shi Liyun, but is polite, and there is still some respect between words.

According to Shi Liyun's words on the road: "Regardless of the official position, everything is just a rational word." The etiquette in this palace city is nothing more than who has the ability and who is reasonable. We are all daughters of a family, and if my sister is too humble to them, they will only be afraid. ”

Ying Shu thought of this, but felt that Shi Liyun was a living and transparent person, and with the natural pride of the general's family, her temperament was straightforward.

In this way, Ying Shu only followed the etiquette on her face, and did not appear too humble or too proud.

"Although they are nominally my subordinates, they are both daughters of the family. The dynasty has always had rules, and in the future, you don't need to enter the palace often, just enter the palace once every five days. Naturally, if you encounter the important canons of the country, there are a few people who have to work hard. ”

Yingshu and Lijun nodded yes, and Lijun smiled: "There is Lao An Shangshi." Sister Wang and I are just confused! ”

An Shangshi smiled, "Where, everyone is a female official." I'm just a few earlier than a few people who entered the palace, and in the future, I will manage the affairs of the Shangshi Bureau together, and serve His Majesty and all the concubines and ladies. ”

After going through the motions, An Shangshi said: "Today is the first time the two of you are here, I will take the two of you to see the various divisions of our Shangshi Bureau, and after reading it, there will be palace maids and female historians to ask for peace." ”

The two of them tossed for a day, and the heavy crown that was born could not be taken off and the pressure was dizzy, but they had to hold on. However, this is the ritual that should be taken as a female official, and the two looked at each other, so they had to continue to hold on.

finally finished reading it, and it was time to leave the palace. According to the routine, the female officials in the palace walk out of the palace and can enjoy the shoulder, which is a preferential treatment that ordinary women outside have never enjoyed.

The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder, walking forward side by side, Lijun was a straightforward person, and rubbed her sour neck: "It's really tiring, although being a female official is decent, but this crown is so heavy, it's really troublesome." But fortunately, I probably won't wear it often in the future. ”

After about a day of getting along, Ying Shu also had a good impression of this Shi Sishan, so she responded with a smile: "Isn't it?" In the future, it is cheaper to enter the palace or wear official clothes or auspicious clothes. ”

Lijun nodded: "Although it is said that we will enter the palace on the fifth day, we will have to get along daily in the future." The female officials in the palace are not as good as the female officials inside, I'm afraid we will have to work together in the future. When the time comes, I will ask my sister to take care of it. ”

Ying Shu hurriedly waved her hand: "Where, where." ”

Lijun smiled heartily, and then there seemed to be a regretful look on her face: "I also went to Xingji Teahouse earlier, and those ice drinks are really delicious and refreshing. I wonder if this shopkeeper's handmade is better? Next time, my sister will have to make some for me by herself. ”

Ying Shu smiled and agreed: "Definitely." ”

The two of them arrived at Shunzhen Gate as they talked, but they saw a bright red coming to them, which was very familiar.

"Yo, now this is amazing, there are sedan chairs in the palace."
