Chapter Ninety-Six: It's Easy to Separate and Difficult to Get Together
"Do you think it's not safe in this palace?" Snow Oriole asked.
"It's not safe where people are." Ruoyan hooked the corners of her lips, "Especially in the palace." ”
When Ruoyan arrived at the Internal Affairs Office, the Internal Affairs Office had already jumped people out and was about to send them to Jiaofang Palace. Now the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office is surnamed Zhang, and his name is Zhang Lin. Gonggong Zhang knew that in this palace, he was favored by Yun Guifei, just like the name of the palace where she lived, it can be said that she was the favorite of the pepper room. Father-in-law Zhang was cautious and cautious when he picked people. Six girls were selected to come out, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old. He was worried that these little palace maids were all delicate and lovely, and would make the concubine unhappy. But when Ruoyan appeared at the Internal Affairs Mansion, he realized that his worries were unnecessary. He only felt that all the women he had seen in his life were inferior to Ruoyan.
Such a woman can afford to be the pet of the pepper room, so she should be favored by three thousand. With a cold and detached temperament but a little soft, she should be the most noble woman in the world by nature.
No one is more adorable and pitiful than her. No matter how many beautiful girls there are in her palace, people will not be willing to take their eyes off her.
Seeing Ruoyan getting down from the soft sedan chair, Gonggong Zhang hurriedly ran over, and said flatteringly: "Oh, the concubine is here in person." The minions are about to take these girls to your palace! ”
Ruoyan held Xueying's hand and nodded slightly, and smiled faintly: "Grandpa Zhang has a heart." It's just that Hongu just happened to come to ask for some fabrics and children's clothes. I came here myself. ”
"Niangniang is here to pick up clothes for Xiao Shizi?" Father-in-law Zhang understood, "The slave has prepared some materials this morning, and the mother will show it to the mother after picking someone, okay?" ”
Ruoyan glanced at the six girls: "The palace maids picked by my father-in-law look like they are all fifteen or sixteen years old. ”
"What do you think?" Grandpa Zhang was a little apprehensive.
"The young girl has a lot of other thoughts, and she is ignorant if she doesn't do anything. What does my father-in-law think? Ruoyan chuckled, "If you just want to fly on the branches, if you have a harmful heart, it will be a headache." ”
"Yes...... It's the minions who don't think it through. Grandpa Zhang's nervous hands were sweating.
Ruoyan turned his head and glanced at Xue Ying, and said with a smile: "Xue Ying, do you think any of these people are good?" After all, you are still the main palace maid in our palace, and they are the ones who beat you. This person has to be useful to you. ”
"The mother laughed." Xue Ying blessed her body, "Pick a close person for the mother, the slave and maid feel that they need to have some skills, and the most important thing is to be able to protect the lord loyally." ”
"Then what do you think of these people who can be faithful to the Lord?" Ruoyan chuckled.
"The slave and maid don't think they can't." Xue Ying laughed.
"Then I'll have to bother my father-in-law to pick a few more people." Ruoyan looked at Gonggong Zhang with a smile.
"!" Suddenly, one of the palace maids with a small mole under her eyes knelt down, "Please accept the slave!" ”
Ruoyan looked at the kneeling palace maid with interest: "Raise your head and let me take a look." ”
The palace maid raised her head, Ruoyan looked at the little face, it looked beautiful, and what was rare was that the eyes were clean, clear and beautiful.
"What's your name?"
"Slave maid autumn sleep."
"Why do you beg me to accept you, what is so good about you that I can accept you?"
"The slave thinks she is not outstanding, but the slave will be loyal to the mother! Ask the mother to accept the slave! ”
Ruoyan smiled: "It's impossible to want me to accept you just by saying these few words." ”
"If the mother doesn't accept the slave and the slave, the slave and the slave will only die! Please have mercy on the slave! If the mother is willing to accept the slave and the maid, she has saved the slave and the maid, and the slave is willing to give her life to the mother! ”
"That's an interesting statement." Ruoyan looked at Father-in-law Zhang, "What did Father-in-law know when he picked her?" ”
Father-in-law Zhang was so nervous that his legs were almost weak: "Slave...... The minions don't know either. ”
"Then I'm going to ask this autumn sleeping girl." Ruoyan looked at Qiu Mian, "Say, what's going on?" ”
"Yes...... It's Natsuko Konoko of the House of Internal Affairs. Qiu Mian choked up a little, "The slave maid used to serve Xu Cainu. But Xu Cainu was killed, and later the slave maid was on an errand in the court. There was no serious master, so Xiao Xiazi had a bad idea about the slave and the maid, and forced the slave and maid to eat with him. If the slave and maid did not obey, he wanted to blackmail the slave and maid and said that he was deeply valued by Feng Meiren, and if the slave and maid did not obey, he would ask Feng Meiren to give him the slave and maid. Can...... But when the slave maid was young, she had already told her brother next door outside the palace, but she didn't have time to write a marriage letter, and the slave maid entered the palace. I told him that I would be treated well at twenty-five, and I would leave the palace and marry him. ”
Ruoyan nodded and interrupted her words: "So you have to guard for him, the palace has the highest position with Meng Zhaoyi in the palace, and there is no shortage of people in Sister Meng's palace, you can't avoid her, so you feel safe in my palace and think of my palace, right?" ”
"Yes...... Niangniang didn't know, that little Xia Zi ...... He has already killed a few rough palace maids, and there is no way for the slave maid. ”
"Grandpa Zhang, you heard it all." Ruoyan laughed, "The eunuchs in the palace have played to death and can still be punished." This palace has always only recognized death. Murder pays for life, debts and money. What does my father-in-law think about this little Natsuko? ”
"Naturally, it deserves to pay for your life." Father-in-law Zhang's head was sweating for a while, how could this little Xia Zi still have this habit behind his back, it really killed people.
"That palace, as the lord of the harem, left an edict today, this matter must be investigated, and if it is true, it will be dragged away and killed." Ruoyan glanced at Qiu Mian, "Have you seen it?" It's useless to hide when something happens. You can hide in the main palace today, and tomorrow, Xiao Xiazi will be able to run to the palace of the main palace to find you. To dispose of the poop clean. ”
"Slave and maid thank you! Xie Niangniang's teachings. Qiu Mian heard Ruoyan's order to dispose of Xiao Xiazi, and bowed down happily.
"Niangniang, the slave and maid have thanked Niangniang here." A little palace maid stood up and knelt down and kowtowed, "That Xiao Xiazi played to death before a rough palace maid named Ah Wan, who is the slave's sister, and the slave Xie Niangniang seeks justice for the slave's sister." ”
"No thanks." Ruoyan took Xue Ying's hand, "Let's go, Qiu Mian, you go back with the palace." ”
Qiu Mian had just survived the catastrophe, and he was so happy that he cried. Hearing Ruoyan call herself, she hurriedly stood up and wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "The slave thanked Niangniang." ”
Xue Ying laughed: "Niangniang's vision is so good, the slave maid thinks this girl is good, and she has some courage." ”
"Then you'll have to bother with training."
Seeing that Ruoyan was about to leave, Father-in-law Zhang hesitated and asked: "Niangniang, ...... the fabric?"
"Father-in-law, let's sweep the snow in front of the door first. The fabric will be delivered later. Ruoyan helped Xueying's hand to get on the soft sedan chair, "This palace is not so that Xiao Shizi has no clothes to wear." I won't trouble my father-in-law. ”
"The slave thanked the mother, the mother is easy to go." Father-in-law Zhang bowed.
Ruoyan sat on the soft sedan chair and leaned on the cushion and asked Qiu Mian lazily: "Qiu Mian, where are you from?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid grew up in Chang'an City since she was a child, and her father was in the medicinal herb business." Qiu Mian replied with a smile.
"Oh? Doing a medicinal herb business. Do you know how to heal? Ruoyan is interested.
"Yes, yes, but unfortunately it's not enough compared to the imperial doctor in the palace." Qiu Mian was a little embarrassed, "At most, it will cure a headache, brain fever, cold and fever, and nothing else." However, when the slave maid helped in his father's shop, he would learn to identify the herbs. Basically, most of the medicinal materials are poisonous and non-poisonous slaves and maids can be separated. ”
"That's a good idea." Ruoyan smiled, "You don't have to worry about someone poisoning this palace in the future." ”
"Rest assured, the slave will do her best."
"Mother, it's here." The snow warbler helped Ruoyan get down from the soft sedan chair. Qiu Mian is also a clever man, and hurriedly set up the small stool to hold it steady.
"It's time to get ready for tonight's banquet." Ruoyan looked at the sky, "Xueying, you asked people to take out the begonia ice silk skirt in the main palace." Didn't Your Majesty reward you with a head mask before? You're ready to serve Hongu and freshen up. ”
"Yes."
"Qiu Mian, you go to Mama Du to help Mama Du change her clothes and wash up her little son. Let's see if he's learning the rules. ”
"Slave and maid, go now."
After the autumn sleep, Xue Ying combed Ruoyan's hair in the hall, and there were only two of them in the room, Xue Ying sighed: "Niang Niang will see Xiangye at tonight's banquet." ”
"Hmm." Ruoyan responded, "To be honest, I don't know how to face him." ”
"Will Xiangye not come because he is sick?" Xue Ying frowned, "Niangniang said before that death and life are gone, and the slave maid looked at Xiangye as if she was serious." ”
"The Empress of Southern Chu has visited, and he has led troops to fight her before. He must be there today, as it is reasonable. Ruoyan looked at herself in the mirror, "Xueying, do you look good at me today?" ”
"The mother's complexion is excellent."
Mother, it's here. The snow warbler helped Ruoyan get down from the soft sedan chair. Qiu Mian is also a clever man, and hurriedly set up the small stool to hold it steady.
"It's time to get ready for tonight's banquet." Ruoyan looked at the sky, "Xueying, you asked people to take out the begonia ice silk skirt in the main palace." Didn't Your Majesty reward you with a head mask before? You're ready to serve Hongu and freshen up. ”
