When Ah Xiyan walked out of the dormitory and came to the courtyard, she saw that in addition to the few palace maids and eunuchs she had seen on duty in the Weiyang Hall before, there were three more strange eunuchs.

One of them looked much older, and the other two looked much younger like his henchmen.

This elderly eunuch is about forty years old, and at first glance he is an old man who has worked in the palace for many years, perhaps because his position is much higher than that of the palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace, and he can clearly feel his unbeatable arrogance.

It was this old eunuch who was arguing with the palace maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Hall with a displeased face.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Palace, who were arguing with reason in the courtyard, all saw A Xiyan come out, but no one paid attention to her after just glancing at her, and continued to argue loudly with the old eunuch.

After all, she is just a palace maid, who will take it seriously.

As for the three strange eunuchs, when they saw that no one paid attention to Ah Xiyan, who had just come to the courtyard, they thought that she was also the palace maid of Weiyang Palace, so they ignored her.

And when the old eunuch saw that after Ah Xiyan came out, the other palace maids and eunuchs became louder, and pointed to the palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Hall and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you arguing about?" Didn't you just send you a batch of food and clothing to Weiyang Hall a few days ago? Why did you send someone to ask for it today? Isn't it just a few of you little palace maids and eunuchs? Can you eat and use so much? Well? ”

As soon as the old eunuch's voice fell, the palace maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Hall began to reason with him again:

"What did you send the other day? It's obviously half a month ago, okay? ”

"In the past, when the eldest princess was here, fresh fruits and vegetables were sent every day, but after the eldest princess moved to the Horse Mansion, it became a three-day delivery. Later, it will be delivered every seven days. It's good now, but I have to urge it several times for half a month to send it. ”

"We have a lot fewer people now than when the eldest princess was there, so we don't have to send it every day, but we can't send it every half a month?"

"Even if we admit it every half a month, we can't eat fresh food every day, and we put up with it, so we have to send enough for us to eat for half a month, right? But every time we save money, we can't last more than half a month, and if we hadn't grown some food in the yard, we would have starved to death a long time ago. You see, how can a few of us who are hungry have the strength to work? ”

"Besides, the dishes that are delivered every half a month are not fresh, and they are almost so rotten that they can't be eaten. The meat was never seen again. There are more insects than rice in that rice, so why should we eat them? ”

"What's even more infuriating is that we don't have enough firewood, what do we use to boil water for cooking? Not to mention boiling bath water. I can only wipe my body with cold water. Sometimes you have to drink cold water. ”

"And it's cold now, but the material of the clothes you sent is still so thin, even if it's thin, it's still moldy, how can we wear it?"

"Last winter's charcoal was the worst, and not only was it warm, but it almost killed people. It's good to be able to give some charcoal every other month, and it hurts us to freeze our hands and feet. ”

"In the past, there was no master, and we had nothing to say about it, but now that we have a new master, you have to re-equip us with food and clothing according to the standards of the new master, right? Otherwise, how can we have the strength to take care of our new master? ”

……

Listening to the complaints of several palace maids and eunuchs in Weiyang Palace, the old eunuch became even more annoyed and angry, and reprimanded loudly again: "Yohe, what's the matter? Have you settled old accounts with the manager? Is it as miserable as you say? I see that you are all red-faced, and you still have some strength to shout at the manager, how can you look like you can't eat enough? If it was really like you say, a few would have starved to death and froze to death a long time ago? Look, aren't you all alive and well? Besides, aren't you just a few people, and no matter how little you give, it's enough for you to eat. Don't pick and choose, are you still kicking your nose in the face? You yourself know in your hearts that the eldest princess can be the same as if she is not there? It's called this time and that time. Who let the eldest princess move to the Horse Mansion, and you have no master in the past few years? By the way, when you sent someone to ask for food and clothing just now, you lied that a new master was here! Why didn't I get a notice that Weiyang Hall has a new master? Besides, only the eldest princess has always been eligible to stay in the Weiyang Palace, and even if a new princess is born, it is impossible to stay here. Otherwise, since the eldest princess moved away, this Weiyang Palace would not have been vacant for a few years. Therefore, I would like to ask, what about the master you keep mentioning? What about people? Looking at this, aren't they all palace maids and eunuchs? How can there be a master? ”

"Who said that we don't have a master in Weiyang Palace? Well, she's our new master. ”

After listening to the manager's angry questioning, a palace maid pointed at A Xiyan and said.

"Yes, she is our new master, Miss A. Aunt Chang brought her here, and let's call her that, if you don't believe it, you can ask Aunt Chang. ”

Another eunuch also pointed to Ah Xiyan and said.

"Haha! What a joke! She's your new master? Isn't she just a palace maid? Is she also worthy to be the master? When she came out just now, she didn't see any of you paying attention to her? Even if she is a new palace maid recommended by Aunt Chang, she is just a slave, can she be a master? I think you're taking this manager as a fool, aren't you? It seems that it is necessary for the chief to report to the chief eunuch now, and cure you for the crime of deceiving the chief of the new master in order to have more food and clothing! You have to let each of you Weiyang Hall suffer a hundred boards to solve the hatred in the heart of the chief manager! And you dare to pretend to be the new master, the crime is added to the first degree, I'm afraid you will have to lose your head! Wait and see! ”

The old eunuch took a look at Ah Xiyan and threatened with a sneer.

After finishing speaking, when he was about to turn around and leave, he saw A Xiyan, who had not spoken, walking towards him and saying generously and decently: "This manager, please stay, they are right, I am the new master of Weiyang Palace." My surname is Ah, just call me Miss Ah. ”

"Miss? Ha ha! What kind of identity is this? Don't you know that any palace in this Xingsheng Palace can only be a prince or a princess to become the master? Why do you say that you are the master? What qualifications do you have to be the master of the Weiyang Palace? ”

The old eunuch asked with disdain.

"I know what you said, but if it was recommended by the four princes an hour ago, and the emperor personally rewarded the Weiyang Palace to Miss Ben to live in, do you think Miss Ben is qualified to be the new master of this Weiyang Palace?"

Ah Xiyan replied without humility or arrogance.

When listening to Ah Xiyan mention the emperor and the four princes, the palace maids and eunuchs of the Weiyang Palace, who had not taken Ah Xiyan seriously, all looked at her with a surprised face.

Obviously, I also think that Miss A, who seems to be a palace maid, can be recommended by the four princes, and the emperor can personally reward Weiyang Palace, so it is definitely a great success.

also understood that I was probably underestimating this Miss A before, and suddenly, everyone became excited.

Because they finally saw hope, that is, a woman who can be valued by the emperor and the four princes, and reward the Weiyang Palace, where only the eldest princess is qualified to stay, maybe in the emperor's mind, this Miss A is as noble as the eldest princess.

That means that their mastership status is no less than that of other princes and princesses, that is to say, they have endured the hardships of not having a master for several years, and finally survived.

It's just that the thought of ignoring Miss A before, and the neglect of her behavior, made them regret it.

So, after looking at each other, these palace maids and eunuchs of the Weiyang Palace knelt down in unison and asked for peace in unison: "See Miss A!" If the etiquette was not good before, I also asked Miss A to forgive her sins. ”

"Get up. Don't blame those who don't know. In the past few years, there has been no master in the Weiyang Palace, and it is difficult for you. From now on, as long as Miss Ben is here, you will no longer be bullied! ”

Ah Xiyan said unmindfully, and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs of Weiyang Hall with sympathy and reassured.

"Miss Xie A, in the future, I will definitely swear allegiance to the master, and I will never have two hearts!"

These palace maids and eunuchs thanked in unison.

After finishing speaking, he also stood up, and spontaneously stood on both sides of A Xiyan in two rows, staring at the old eunuch who was on the spot with a confident face, obviously recognizing A Xiyan as the new master in his heart.

"The emperor's reward? Recommended by the four princes? How is this possible? Could it be that you are the emperor's newly selected show girl? Haven't canonized your concubine yet? But even so, it shouldn't be the Xingsheng Palace where the prince and princess live. But other palaces that belong to the concubines live? And before you move in, our internal affairs office will be notified to arrange everything in advance before welcoming the master to move in. Are you sure it's true? Can't you talk about this kind of thing? Otherwise, it would be a crime of deception. ”

The old eunuch asked in disbelief.

"Originally, the emperor planned to announce the decree to the world immediately, but it was Miss Ben who asked for a temporary postponement, so it is normal that you have not been notified. As for Miss Ben's identity, she is naturally not a show girl or a concubine. There are other special identities, but the specific identities are not convenient to inform you. When it's time for you to know, it will be announced. So before that, Miss Ben didn't require the Internal Affairs Office to be equipped according to the standards of the prince and princess in terms of food and clothing, but at least we had to ensure that we people could be fed and clothed. Is there a problem with this request of Miss Ben, this manager? ”

Ah Xiyan replied calmly.

"This ......"

After listening to Ah Xiyan's words, the old eunuch chief was also a little hesitant and didn't know what to say.

Obviously, he also believed what Ah Xiyan said, but when a little eunuch beside him whispered in his ear that he didn't know what to say, the old eunuch's original hesitation disappeared, and he became arrogant and rude again: "Haha! If Xiao Anzi hadn't reminded the manager in time, he would have almost been fooled by you! You just said that the fourth prince recommended you to the emperor an hour ago, right? But as far as I know, the four princes have been unconscious, and the Tai Hospital has sent someone to inform the emperor and the queen mother to prepare for the death of the four princes in advance, which Xiao Anzi heard with his own ears, and he can't be wrong. How can such four princes recommend you to the emperor? How daring! Dare to falsely preach the holy decree, it should be a capital crime! Someone's coming! Take down this palace maid who doesn't know whether to live or die! The chief steward is going to personally send her to the chief eunuch! I have to watch her being beaten to death with a stick to relieve the hatred in my heart! How dare you tease the manager! Looks like you're really tired of it! ”

After the old eunuch finished speaking, the two eunuchs beside him rushed up, intending to take down Ah Xiyan.

The eunuchs standing on both sides of Ah Xiyan glanced at each other, quickly stood in front of Ah Xiyan, and helped Ah Xiyan block the two eunuchs.

Even the palace maid beside Ah Xiyan rushed over without hesitation to help stop the two eunuchs from going to take Ah Xiyan.

"Hongu is here! Who dares to be unreasonable to Miss A! This palace will let its head fall to the ground! Hum! ”

Just when the scene was in chaos, the undoubted voice of a young woman came from the door of Weiyang Palace.

So, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Weiyang Palace heard the sound and looked over.

Even the annoyed old chief eunuch turned to look at the door.

A young woman walked in with another older lady in her arms, both of whom looked extremely angry.

And these two people are none other than the eldest princess Chu Yuyao and the eldest lady Ye Qingli, who rushed from Xiangfeng Palace......
