According to the rules of the palace, the princess who has not descended should be accompanied by four maids, two nursing mothers, one or two elderly grandmothers or aunts who understand the rules and governors, and the rough ones are counted separately. Now Xiping's Die'er, Ge Qing and Ge Tian add up to only three, her nurse was prepared by the Jiang family earlier, and later sent away for the Mu family's affairs, and the Fan family who made up for it was pointed out by Mu Biwei to serve Ji Sui, and now there is only one Deng family, so it is calculated that at least one personal palace maid and one or two elderly palace maids are missing.

As for Xintai, the people around her who used to be given by the Sun family were all killed by the rod after the Bu family's miscarriage, the Yan family gave people in the Jiafu Palace, the Hu Palace people were killed, and the others were not ordered to be executed, but there were also a few who did not survive the execution in the execution, after all, the six palaces have been spread all over the Yan family's harsh Xintai princess, of course the waiters of the Jiafu Palace can no longer serve her, after arriving at the Chenglian Palace, these days Mu Biwei pointed to the butterfly and the placket and a few little palace maids to serve her first.

Now that it is mentioned like this, Xiping and Xintai both know in their hearts that this is to officially make up for Xintai's fixed manpower, after all, Die'er is a person from Xiping, and she gave Xintai a reason without saying it, and the placket is the big palace maid next to Mu Biwei, and it is impossible for Xintai to bring it to Fengyang Palace next year.

Sure enough, Mu Biwei said, and asked someone to bring up the list of people in the Chenglian Palace, and said: "There was originally a shortage of manpower in the palace, but now that you have grown up, you can't always have no regular people around you to serve you!" I'm afraid it's difficult to choose all of them in the palace maid's hall, and the mother concubine plans to call the inner division to pick some people over there to supplement, and you can take a look at these people first. ”

Xiping said: "Erchen thinks that Mama Deng is good, and now a few people are enough to serve Erchen." ”

"Then you can make up a palace maid tomorrow." Mu Biwei asked Xintai, "Who do you want?" ”

Xintai didn't look at the roster, but said: "Everything is arranged by the mother." ”

"This is also for you to practice your eyesight." Mu Biwei glanced at her and said, "After you pick, tell the mother why you chose these people, and the mother will give you a detailed reference." ”

Seeing that Mu Biwei really wanted to practice for herself, and did not take the opportunity to put her eyes on her side, Xintai pursed her lips before saying: "Erchen to tell the truth, Erchen has only been in Chenglian Hall for a few days, and now many people have not recognized it, and these individuals are not clear about what Erchen is like, so naturally the mother concubine chose better than Erchen." ”

Hearing her say this, Mu Biwei said: "Since this is the case, just ask them to come over and give you a look at them one by one, even if you don't like any of them, it doesn't matter, Ming'er Neisi will send someone over." ”

At that moment, Mu Biwei ordered to go down, and the twelve to fifteen-year-old palace maids in the Chenglian Palace, except for the three who served beside Princess Xiping, were all summoned, and they were selected by Princess Xintai, Xintai pondered for a moment, and then pointed to a person, this candidate, Mu Biwei asked the name and frowned imperceptibly - it was the sweet child who was bought by the He family.

This sweet child and Die'er seem to be thirteen years old, and they are born with a bit of delicate appearance, but Princess Xintai is already good-looking, and she is not afraid of the beautiful palace maid who overwhelms her limelight, Mu Biwei does not want to give her to Xintai, and is thinking about how to stop it, but she doesn't want Xintai to say: "Mother, what the son wants is the person behind her!" ”

Mu Biwei took a look, and sure enough, there was a timid little palace maid standing behind this sweet girl, who was thin, looked at most eleven or twelve years old, and was not very well dressed, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "The princess personally ordered you, why don't you come out soon?" ”

Tian'er's original ecstasy turned into disappointment and resentment in an instant—but neither Mu Biwei nor Xintai ignored her, and the little palace maid behind her timidly came out of the queue and signed up softly: "Slave Fang'er!" ”

Mu Biwei looked at Ah Shan, and saw that Ah Shan bowed slightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong with this little palace maid, so she said to Xintai: "Do you want her?" ”

Xintai observed her for a moment, nodded and said, "Erchen wants her to be one, and the others are still waiting for the people of the inner division." ”

Mu Bi said slightly: "Then Fang'er, you will follow the princess in the future, remember to serve well!" Don't slack off! ”

Na Fang'er looked ignorant, as if she was stunned by the good luck that fell from the sky, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes!" But he didn't say anything.

Xiping didn't like such a palace maid, so he whispered a few words to persuade Xintai, but Xintai shook his head and made up his mind to take a fancy to this Fang'er, Mu Biwei glanced at Xiping, and Xiping gave up.

After sending everyone else away, Mu Biwei first called Su Xiu and asked her to lead Na Fang'er to clean up, while telling Xintai and Xiping: "It's just like that for the palace people, not to mention that there are lice on the body, they are always unclean, since they want to serve them closely, they must be cleaned up, and there is no hidden disease, so that they can be close, you are all noble people, and those bad people are not allowed to serve closely, you know?" ”

Both of them agreed, because the idlers were dismissed, Xiping complained to Xintai: "The palace person chosen by the second sister is not good at all, it looks like a bully!" ”

Xintai pursed his lips and smiled, "I think she looks very honest, and I want to find an honest servant now." ”

Xiping wanted to say something, but he seemed to be afraid of poking Xintai's sadness, so he stopped talking, Mu Bi said slightly: "Your second sister chose the person who served her, and she liked it, so what do you have to do with her and the people around you?" ”

"Erchen just doesn't like Fang'er." Xiping grimaced.

Mu Biwei sent her away: "You go back first, I want to ask your second sister a few words." ”

Xiping said: "Erchen can't listen? ”

"Can't!" Mu Biwei said simply, "Go back!" ”

Deng couldn't help but laugh and led the dissatisfied Xiping out, and Mu Biwei asked Princess Xintai: "What did you choose that Fang'er for?" ”

When Xintai left Xiping's eyes, he no longer pretended to be hurt and pitiful, and said slyly: "Doesn't the concubine think that Fang'er looks pitiful?" ”

Mu Bi frowned slightly and said, "Don't say that you chose her because you saw her pitiful!" ”

"Because of the previous Bu incident, my father hated my son's minister, and my mother also said that this matter was that the whole palace believed that my son's minister was wronged, but my father didn't believe it, so there was no way." Xintai ridiculed and said lightly, "So Erchen has no way to justify, and he can only pretend to be pitiful, so that his father will not remember the past when he sees Erchen, and then anger the second brother." ”

Mu Biwei didn't speak for a long time, and only sighed for a while, and said: "It's not easy for you to think of this at your age, but now that you call me my mother, I also want to advise you - this is pitiful for a while, but it's boring to pretend for a long time, you think you have been bullied, first of all, it is impossible for me to agree, isn't this equivalent to saying that I didn't take good care of you?" In addition, you have been thinking about this matter, so that people will know that you must say that you have been holding a grudge! Don't forget why you were slandered! Isn't it because your mother is favored, and secondly, she gave birth to your sister and brother? ”

Princess Xintai's face changed when she heard this, and she lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Erchen knows." ”

"Since you know, according to me, it's better for you to pick two clever little palace maids who know how to advance and retreat." Mu Bi said earnestly, "Originally, because of your mother's concubine, some things in the Six Palaces that stepped on low and worshipped high looked down on you a little!" Although the Yan family was disposed of, let them know that your father and grandmother are still thinking of you, but after a long time, I still put on a pitiful appearance, and I may not step on you again where I can't take care of you! So the palace maid next to you should be more difficult to bully than Yutong's side! ”

Princess Xintai's self-righteous idea was refuted to the fullest, and she couldn't help but be disappointed, and said in a low voice: "Yes! ”

"There is another thing, I planned to hide it from you before, but now that you have experienced so many things, you still have to worry about Henglang, and if you don't tell you, I am afraid that you will hate me in the future." Mu Biwei didn't let her retreat, and she muttered for a long time before she whispered.

Hearing this, Xintai immediately raised his head sensitively: "What did the mother concubine say?" ”

"Henglang...... In fact, he is not alone. Mu Bi beckoned her to come to her, and said softly, "He and your eldest brother have both produced flowers, and now the Ganquan Palace has been closed, and your imperial mother takes care of herself, she is the one who has produced flowers and survived......"

Speaking of this, Princess Xintai was stunned for a moment, and then showed a blank look, but she was not particularly panicked, but asked with a slight tremble: "What is the flower?" ”

Mu Biwei then remembered how young Xintai was, and sighed before saying: "It's smallpox, this is a disease that appeared in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is very fast, and it is often easy to fall scars...... Seeing Xintai's face showing fear, he still said the last sentence in the end, "In fact, it is nothing to leave some traces, after all, there are not many people who can survive this disease." ”

………………………………………………………………………………

In the evening, Mu Biwei finished bathing, went to see Ji Kai, asked Cheng Niangzi and others, knew that he was doing well, kissed his cheek and went back to the dormitory, Ah Shan sent the others, gently beat her legs, and said: "Princess Xintai is really determined." ”

"That's also a bad fate." Mu Bi didn't smile slightly, and said a little tiredly, "I'd rather Yutong and Yulang not be like her!" ”

Ah Shan said pityingly: "What the girl said is true. ”

"Have you explained the matter?" Mu Biwei was silent for a moment and then asked.

Ah Shan said: "I have already explained, Ge Nuo said that he would do his best to take care of You'e Ying and Yongchun Palace, and as soon as there is news, I will report it immediately." ”

"And the Hualuo Palace." Mu Biwei advised, "Don't ignore it - although You Eying won't live long, but in the past ten months and a year, maybe the Qu family is willing to let You Eying live a comfortable life?" Bu is alive, and You Eying can't always be very happy. ”

"Don't worry, the slave and maid have told you, and someone else is watching over there." Ah Shan said softly, "The girl is also very tired these days, so it's better to rest." ”

"Hmm."
