Although Aunt Lin was not brought into the palace by the queen from the Qin family, and was not on the same starting line as Lu Tao, Lu Lan and others, she is now one of the queen's henchmen.

The queen was born in the Guogong Mansion where she has been in the army for generations and has made countless meritorious achievements, and her mother Luo is also from a famous family, so she inquired about her before she entered the palace, and chose Aunt Lin, who was over thirty years old and did not leave the palace, took the initiative to stay as a female official, and was familiar with the affairs of the palace to escort her.

In the past three years, Aunt Lin has indeed been loyal to the queen, and she has also mentioned that she has avoided many problems, such as unnecessary friction with concubines such as Concubine Shu.

The queen gradually believed in her again, but today's sudden suggestion from Aunt Lin made her a little difficult to accept.

The Queen Mother and He Jieyu came to such a suspected tame beating, and she was a little unsure.

After waving off the green peach, the queen was still a little displeased: "After the palace is a country, the mother is the world, why do you want to condescend to help a little palace person succeed?" What's more, His Majesty may not really take a fancy to the people of that palace......"

There was a lofty pride between the words, which was the pride engraved in the bones of many women of the family.

Aunt Lin sighed: "Niangniang, it is precisely because of her humble status that she is easy to control." ”

The queen does not squeak.

Aunt Lin said again: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for almost three years, and as usual, this year's general election should also be organized." The slave maid heard that several mothers were discussing with their mothers to send people in to run for election. ”

The queen was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and smiled sarcastically.

"Do you still want to use your sister to invite pets? They have a good calculation, and they are not afraid that the one in Shangyang Palace will eat them raw! By the way, did she talk to the Xiao family? ”

Aunt Lin shook her head.

The queen laughed to herself, laughing at herself for doing too much.

Obviously, that woman is the most favored in the palace, and now she still has a baby bump in her belly, so why do you need to raise others to share her favor?

Concubine Shu is not a fool!

Aunt Lin said: "Niangniang, now that Concubine Shu is favored, no one knows if she has that good luck, and the situation of the new show girl after entering the palace is unknown." Even so, the mother should have planned early. ”

The queen understands this truth in her heart, but she can't get over that hurdle.

She grew up with the education of famous ladies since she was a child, and she never disdained to be involved in the competition for favor with his wife and concubines, and he was not ashamed to attack the concubines.

But after three years of marriage, her belly has not moved, and at this time, Concubine Xiao Shufei is pregnant again, and Huo Yanzhi sees it as a jewel.

Rao is no matter how calm she is, since the news came out from Shangyang Palace in the first month of the year, her heart has been like frying on an oil pot, and she has not been anxious for a moment.

That's why Aunt Lin dared to mention this today.

That palace man is indeed a good pawn.

Those who can come in and be palace people are naturally from the homes of ordinary people. has no close relatives who are officials, and she has no way back.

is a lowly palace person, and at most she can only be a favorite concubine. There is no one at home, and the emperor just wants to be promoted, and he will not risk the world's condemnation to do so, unless he doesn't want to sit on this dragon chair.

Aunt Lin persuaded again: "If Your Majesty's love for her can't last long, and you can leave her a son and a half daughter, it will be even better." Niangniang just took this opportunity to take the little prince and the little princess over to raise. After all, according to the rules of the palace, Jieyu is not allowed to raise the imperial heir......"

The queen didn't speak again, and lowered her eyes to look at her flat belly, her eyes slowly changing.

"Let's take a look first, if you make a rash move at this time, it will definitely fall into the eyes of Shangyang Palace......"

Early the next morning, when Zhiwei went back, her legs were already a little weak, one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if she was stepping on the tip of a knife wrapped in cotton.

Yesterday, she secretly borrowed a small box of ointment from Qingqiu to apply it, otherwise, she would have to go back with a limp today.

On an errand in the palace, there are very few people who do not prepare this kind of traumatic medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis.

After all, according to the palace rules, they had to kneel down and salute when they saw any master. If you are unlucky, you will be unhappy when you meet your own master or the lady outside, and it is very common to punish you for kneeling and slapping your mouth.

Zhi Wei exhaled slowly, returned to the room, and began to wash up with half a basin of cold well water.

In the past few days, I don't remember how many cold sweats I have had and dried again, but because of the errand of lifting the bell, she has not changed it for two days.

Although she comes from a small family, she is a little clean, usually even in winter, she always has to find an opportunity to scrub one or two, otherwise she always feels uncomfortable and embarrassed to look at anyone.

Zhi Wei changed her clothes and dragged her tired body to work again.

There are a lot of palace people in the Siyuan Bureau who are responsible for taking care of flowers and plants, but there are very few who have good skills in raising flowers with one hand, and Zhiwei is one of them.

Like Lianzhu, although she was also responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants near Lian Bi Pavilion, she mainly took care of one or two, and if she really found any problems, she had no way to solve them, so she could only seek help from Zhiwei and others.

Xu is because she angered the two giants in the palace, was punished by the emperor for lifting the bell, and was punished by the queen mother for kneeling for a day, the palace people of the Siyuan Bureau looked at her today with more indifferent eyes than yesterday.

The case of Rose Huazhi has not yet been decided, and Steward Li is afraid that he will be arrested as a scapegoat in the end, so he subconsciously dissociates himself from Zhiwei.

So, today she was arranged to do a series of heavy work.

Although the errand of the Siyuan Bureau is tiring, it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The lightest work is naturally the watering, pruning, and cleaning of the common flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden, and it is probably enough to keep the green ones full of energy and make the flowers bright in color, so as to welcome the appreciation of unknown nobles.

For example, the master of the palace suddenly wants a pot of flowers, and the palace people of the Siyuan Bureau of course have to pick two good pots and carry them to a certain palace room with due diligence.

The first two are laborious and painless jobs, but the most grinding and hardest are the work of turning pots and changing soil in the nursery.

Compared with these, the meticulous work of fertilizing and controlling insect pests is nothing, and practice makes perfect.

Usually, Zhiwei mostly does meticulous work in the nursery, but today, she was "assigned" by Steward Li to turn over the pot.

Turning a pot, as the name suggests, is to dig up the plants in the pot intact, and then move it to another pot and cover it with new soil.

This is the most common work in nurseries, from ground to potted plants, from small pots to large pots, from ordinary earthen pots to glazed porcelain pots, and in many cases it is necessary to turn over pots.

Even if the plant is in the stable growth period, it is best to change the pot once a spring, the main purpose is to change the soil and ensure that the plant is nutritious.

It sounds simple, but it's a lot more hassle-free.

There are a lot of precious flowers in the Imperial Garden, if you accidentally break the rhizome of the flower and tree when turning the pot, and damage its vitality, I am afraid that it will take an extra month or two to raise it back.

At the same time, rotten flower roots must be pruned in time, especially for plants with well-developed root systems. Otherwise, the problem of root rot will gradually worsen, and eventually lead to yellow leaves and flower drops.

Moreover, most of the people who have to bend over all the time when they work, carefully change the past, and dare to breathe a sigh of relief when they don't go wrong. But after a few breaths, I had to bend down again and head for the next pot.

This errand has to be energetic and a little clever, and it is usually done by a little eunuch, but I don't want to be mixed into such an "outlier" as Zhiwei today.

Because she was born well, the young eunuchs of the Siyuan Bureau also liked to talk to her.

Seeing that she was panting and sweating profusely after only a few pots, Ah Liang, the little eunuch with a tiger brain, couldn't help but speak: "Sister Zhiwei, why don't you rest for a while?" I don't rush this work, so let's do it, just finish the errand in a few days. ”

Another thin and small Quan De also said: "Yes, sister, you haven't rested for a few days, right?" What's the point of working so hard during the day, and no one sees it? ”

Zhi Wei pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced around at the surroundings that seemed to be without Steward Li and a few of his most loyal dogs, so she slowed down her movements slightly.

It was a troublesome task for her, and she had to concentrate more on it than the two of them.

Otherwise, if she really breaks the delicate roots of a flower seedling, she won't want to clean her ears today!

Even so, the few flower seedlings that were "pampered" by her still kept screaming, as if they were a little pampered and arrogant, and they probably heard that she had a good temper, and they changed their ways to coquettish in front of her.

However, these flowers are also useful in addition to being noisy, at least they can guide Zhiwei on how to provide them with the best planting plan.

Speaking of which, although Zhi Wei planted some small things with her mother before entering the palace, most of her ability to raise flowers was learned from being assigned to the Siyuan Bureau and communicating with these flowers and plants.

Seeing that she was persuaded, Ah Liang asked with a smile: "Sister is really blessed, I have been in the palace for several years, and the best one I have ever seen is Jieyu Niangniang." Sister, you're good, you've actually shown your face in front of Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother in the past few days......"

Zhi Wei smiled slightly, raised her head and glanced at Ah Liang.

Of course, Ah Liang is not a fool, and he also lowered his voice when he spoke, as far as the three of them could hear, but he didn't expect that Zhi Wei's eyes as cold as March well water were horizontal, and he didn't dare to say it anymore.

"What a look! It's almost time to catch up with the majesty of the Jieyu Niangniang last time, but unfortunately the fate is not good, she was not born as an official lady, and she can only be like us, a life that is called and drunk! ”

Zhi Wei lowered her head as if nothing had happened, and continued the mechanical work in her hands.

"Girl! Miss Zhiwei! Steward Li asked you to go, go for a trip! The man was panting, and his expression was a little complicated, as if there was sympathy, mixed with some other meanings.

Zhi Wei was shocked, and carefully went through the events of the past two days, but she couldn't guess why Steward Li suddenly called herself.

The Queen Mother punished her for kneeling for three hours yesterday, and it is estimated that the punishment will be over, so there will be no trouble calling her every day to go to the past to grind.

Zhiwei is self-aware, no matter how much the Queen Mother hates her, she will not lower her figure and do such a tasteless thing.

So, most of the cases of Rose Blossom Branch have come out?

Zhi Wei patted the mud on her hands, softly told Ah Liang and Quan De, handed over the work to them, and then walked quickly with the messenger.

Although there are many thoughts in his heart, he does not dare to show it on his face.

When she saw Steward Li, Zhi Wei beat a small drum in her heart again.

Because, Steward Li smiled, not at all like the face of the late mother when he was assigned an errand early this morning, as if he picked up two big ingots on the road.

But the strange thing is that there is a palace man who is younger than her and petite standing next to Steward Li, who seems to be called Dianqing.

"The steward is looking for me, but what's the urgency?"

Steward Li rubbed his hands and smiled: "It's a good thing, a big good thing." I knew that Miss Zhiwei was not a thing in the pool, and she didn't stay in my small temple for long, but today it really came true......"

Zhi Wei's heart suddenly burst, and she couldn't spit out half of her breath.

"Stewardship means ......"

"Hey, you stupid girl, what else can this mean? In previous years, the personnel of each palace and bureau had to be transferred, and only then did someone from the palace bureau come and say that they would assign you and Dianqing to Shangyang Palace to take care of the flowers and plants. Oh yes, I said that I want to give you a first-class palace maid. The young age is smaller, and the second-class ...... is temporarily received."
