Chapter 45: Choosing a Maid
The aunt in charge is quite fat, but she walks crookedly with a charming air, Xie Shiyun is afraid that her fat will be thrown out when she looks at her from behind.
"You all listen to me, it's Princess Anchen who is here today, if you want to leave this ghost place and live a good life, you should be smart!"
"Yes, Auntie."
After a while, the aunt in charge led more than thirty palace maids over and lined them up in turn.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you can pick."
Xie Shiyun walked back and forth in the crowd, she can now look at people at a certain level, knowing which people can't want and which people can be considered. Mama Wu also followed to help her choose, and she was also an old mama who worked for the emperor.
The palace maids were all nervous and excited, as long as they left the Xin Zheku, they could really be counted as people in this palace. In the future, whether it is promoted or favored by the emperor, it will be a thousand times better than now.
Xie Shiyun noticed an inconspicuous palace maid standing in the corner, compared to other palace maids who were eager to try, she seemed very timid.
"What's your name?"
"Huh?"
Xie Shiyun stood still in front of her, and the palace maid didn't expect Princess An Chen to talk to her, so she raised her head solemnly.
"Stupid thing, what are you, didn't you hear Her Royal Highness the Princess talk to you?!"
The housekeeper's aunt came over at this time, she didn't particularly want Xie Shiyun to choose this palace maid, in her opinion, she was not a person who would come to things, and she couldn't please the master.
Xie Shiyun raised her hand and motioned to the aunt in charge to shut up, and patiently asked again, "Tell me, what's your name?" β
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the slave maid is named He Lian."
When Xie Shiyun said this, she could clearly feel her nervousness, and she could also see it when she looked at her hand holding the corner of her clothes.
"Would you like to come with me to my Changle Palace?"
The palace maids and the aunt in charge present were stunned, but they didn't expect that the first palace maid Xie Shiyun chose turned out to be He Lian, who had no sense of existence and didn't usually see how she spoke.
"IβCan I?"
"Of course, my words count, if you want, stand at the door and wait for me."
"I do."
He Lian looked at Xie Shiyun's eyes flashing with joy, and hurriedly nodded and walked over.
After that, Xie Shiyun and Mama Wu picked out more than a dozen people one after another, and gave some reward money to the housekeeper's aunt.
"The main hall of the people was taken away."
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, go slowly."
After returning to Changle Palace, Xie Shiyun asked Mama Wu and Sixi to tell the new palace maid what to do and what not to do on weekdays. The people selected by Xie Shiyun and Mama Wu are all new to the palace for a long time, and there are no people from other palaces.
She called all the palace maids to the palace, stood on a high position and said to them, "Now that you have entered the Changle Palace, you are born as a person of the Changle Palace, and you are a ghost of the Changle Palace when you die. β
When Xie Shiyun said this, the palace maids below were a little trembling, they didn't understand the battle in the palace for the first time when they had their own masters.
"One glory and one loss, as long as I am still in power, you will never be bullied, and when my princess's mansion is completed, you will leave the palace with me."
"If any of you want to climb my father's bed, tell me, and I will send you to the other concubines, and the outcome will depend on your creation."
Palace ladies, look at me, I'll look at you, there are indeed people among them who have this idea. But Xie Shiyun's meaning is also very clear, in the hands of other concubines, they can't control whether they are dead or alive.
"We are all willing to go to the soup for Her Royal Highness the princess."
Now Emperor Anhe's physical condition is not as good as day by day, and it is only a matter of time to drive the crane west. Instead of staying a widow for the rest of his life and putting his good youth into it, it is better to be loyal to Xie Shiyun and leave this palace in the future.
"These are the deeds of sale that you sold into the palace, I will return this thing to you now, and when the time comes, it will be up to you to keep it, and I will not force you to keep it."
Xie Shiyun opened the box brought by Sixi and took out the stacks of paper inside. Xie Shiyun gave the paper to Seventeen and asked her to stand in front of the palace maid and ask someone to come up and receive it.
The palace maids didn't believe that there would be such a good thing at first, but Xie Shiyun did it. In a short time, they had all the deeds of sale that belonged to them in their hands.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie, Her Royal Highness the Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Xie Shiyun's approach instantly won the hearts of these palace maids. Mama Wu looked at Xie Shiyun, her face full of relief. Fei Yu stood aside and looked at her, raising a smile, Xie Shiyun's every move made her feel that this princess was growing step by step.
Xie Shiyun left a few of these palace maids to cultivate alone, namely: Rong Yue, Bai Zhi, He Lian, and Xiaolan.
He Lian was born in a family of herb pickers, and the members of the family are all familiar with medicinal materials. When Xie Shiyun passed by her, he smelled the smell of herbs on her body, and saw that there was soil on her hands that she had not had time to wash. knew that she should take care of the medicine garden.
Bai Zhi's family runs a small business, and Da Chen is light on business and heavy on agriculture, so her parents thought of sending her to the palace to try their luck. But Bai Zhi has always been in the Xin Zheku when she entered the palace, and she couldn't even see the emperor in person.
"Bai Zhi, are you willing to go to my father's side as your parents wish?"
"The slave and maid are unwilling, the slave and maid know that the palace is sinister, and they just want to live in a corner and leave the palace as soon as possible, and do some small business like my parents and live happily for a lifetime."
Bai Zhi yearns for freedom, so she decided to follow Xie Shiyun. And Xie Shijun kept her because she needed someone to take care of her in business in the future.
"Then it seems that you are very interested in business."
"The slave and maid have been exposed to a little bit since childhood, but they gave birth to a deputy daughter, and they can't inherit the family business and carry it forward."
Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly, her ambitions were different from those of other people's families since she was a child. When others were watching "The Female Commandment" and learning from the female red, she was playing with an abacus, and the accounts were clear.
At the beginning, her parents had to let her enter the palace, and she had a big quarrel with them, but in the end, they could only enter the palace.
"Don't worry, I will let you get what you want in the future, and I just hope you don't complain that you can't be busy."
Xie Shiyun smiled, she just needed such a person. I didn't expect her to meet so soon.
When Bai Zhi heard this, she immediately came to her senses, "Really? β
"Where did the little girl come from so many questions, what did Your Highness lie to you, and it won't do any good."
Fei Yu interjected at this time, signaling Xie Shiyun that she still had a few palace maids waiting beside her.
"He Lian, come here." Xie Shiyun asked Bai Zhi to step back and beckoned He Lian to her.
"I have a small garden in this Changle Palace, what kind of medicinal materials will you take care of, and tell Sixi to let her lead you to the medicine garden to transplant a few plants."
