Song Zhiqiu slowly stood up and glanced in the direction outside the window.

"But I'm kind enough to remind you, even if I go out, I may not be able to handle this matter. There are fewer and fewer palace maids in the palace, and the specific reason is not clear...... However, if the number of palace maids cannot meet the standard, their officials will not be able to get by. ”

Ling Xiaoning was suddenly disappointed again, was he playing an official trick on himself?

Many officials of the imperial court are like this, on the one hand, the silver in the seal is deliberately ambiguous, and they don't know how to do things.

Although she was very dissatisfied, she couldn't help it.

After all, one is an official and the other is a citizen. Ling Xiaoning, an ordinary ordinary person, how can he be a prince?

It's nice that he can promise to help.

Song Zhiqiu asked Ling Xiaoning to go back to the inn to rest first, and after he understood the situation, he would plan his next move.

Soon he sent news that he had contacted the official in charge of entering the palace this time, and gave him the face of the prince, so he could naturally let go of a woman.

However, when the time comes, a client is needed, and Ling Xiaoning himself took a certain amount of silver to go there to ask for someone.

Ling Xiaoning was a little nervous before setting off, feeling as if he was jumping into a trap dug by others.

When I arrived at the place, I explained my intention. Ling Xiaoning first stuffed a 50 taels of silver ingots into the first person he saw.

After seeing the second person, he stuffed a silver ticket of 200 taels.

"Actually, this matter is not so troublesome, and you have to consider our difficulties at the moment."

In fact, every year in the palace, some palace maids are released, and some young palace maids are recruited.

Because entering the palace to be a palace maid is a voluntary thing, few people are willing to go to the palace to be a palace maid.

The number of ladies required to enter the palace at one time is at least 50 people.

Fewer and fewer people are willing to be palace maids. Originally, only 40 apartments were enrolled, and if they had to let people go, it would make it impossible for them to deal with the public ones.

"To put it simply, if you want to take someone away, you have to help introduce two young women who are willing to be palace maids and have the right conditions."

Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but feel that his head was big for a while, and even if he changed one for the other, he actually had to find two by himself.

Where is this asking them for help, obviously helping them.

"It's too difficult for me, don't you let me find a palace maid, you still let me find two...... You yourself know that girls nowadays don't want to be palace maids. ”

Being a palace maid in the palace is different from a draft.

Ordinary palace maids will start from the hardest work, usually stay in one place and work day and night, and there is no chance to meet the officials and nobles at all.

Even people who meet occasionally, because of the long-term excessive labor force that affects their faces and bodies, will be affected to a certain extent, and they will not be looked down upon by those people.

The efficiency left after the last selection of the show girl in the palace, even if it can't become Faye Wong and other favored status, she will be a female official in the palace, or a relatively easy idle job.

Therefore, most of the women of the citizens are willing to spend money to enter the palace as a show girl, and they are not willing to be a palace maid.

"This is the situation now, you can figure it out yourself, I think you seem to have some nutrition, you can take these drinks, go to those who are poor and urgently need silver, and buy a girl or two in exchange for the girl you want to help."

Ling Xiaoning left in a moment of frustration. The eldest prince wasted 12,000 taels of silver there, and another 250 taels of silver here, and the result was that nothing was done.

She originally helped one girl, but she had to be sent to the palace at the cost of harming two girls.

What is this called?

Ling Xiaoning really had no choice, so he had to find a way to contact Song Zhiqiu.

Song Zhiqiu asked people to send a message, he could intercede on this matter, and when the time came, he only needed to find someone who was willing to be a palace maid to exchange, and there was no need to find two people.

However, there are only a few hours left, and all the palace maids will officially enter the palace when it is close to noon tomorrow, and it cannot be changed at that time.

Ling Xiaoning had just arrived here, he was unfamiliar with the place, how could he find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.

As soon as she was in a hurry, she simply proposed to let herself enter the palace as a palace maid instead of the girl.

The age requirement to enter the work tool is 12 to 14 years old.

Ling Xiaoning was sixteen or seventeen years old, obviously older.

She had no choice but to stuff some extra taels of silver to get by.

She was bitter for a while, and she actually spent money to find herself a bitter and unpromising errand.

Later, when I entered the palace, I didn't know how many people I would be bullied, so I really dug a trap and jumped inside.

The girl successfully left, without attacking to do the strategy, and did not know the specific details.

Ling Xiaoning didn't let the people in the palace tell the girl about being exchanged, and she also wanted the girl to return to a normal life in the future, and she didn't have to feel guilty about this matter.

Song Zhiqiu later asked his subordinates to come over to inquire, but after knowing the truth, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Since Ling Xiaoning had already thought of a solution to this matter, there was no need for him to continue to meddle.

Ling Xiaoning was sent to the palace along with 39 other young girls.

After entering the palace, a total of 40 girls were divided into 8 parts and sent to different departments in the palace.

Ling Xiaoning and three young girls were sent to a place dedicated to washing clothes.

Washing clothes is also a more tiring job in the palace. Nowadays, people can just do the laundry and throw it in the washing machine, which is quite easy and simple.

Washing clothes in the ancient palace is different, there will be Lushan clothes waiting for you to wash, washing clothes endlessly all day long, if you don't speed up, you will be reprimanded and scolded by the superior palace maid or even not given food.

Ling Xiaoning and several of their palace maids, as newcomers, naturally became the targets of suppression.

The four palace maids who were originally in charge, two palace maids, were transferred to a more relaxed department, and the remaining two palace maids were full of resentment in their hearts, and they vented their grievances on the newcomers.

The husband and daughter deliberately bullied the newcomer, did not work themselves, and reprimanded the newcomer.

"In the future, when you come to this place, you will consider yourself unlucky, and do things honestly every day, don't think that you have the opportunity to be lazy...... If anyone deliberately makes trouble, it reaches the ears of his father-in-law, just wait to be punished! ”

Their department is constantly washing and drying clothes in a small yard.

Usually, except for washing clothes and working, there is no free time to sneak out to play, so I don't have any chance to meet those nobles outside.

Although there is no chance to anger the nobles and it is life-threatening, but if you keep washing clothes every day, you may not only suffer from depression after a long time, but also your body will definitely not be comfortable.
