The harem maids of the Dashun Dynasty were strictly arranged.

Ancestral system: There are 12 palace maids waiting in the queen's palace, including two first-class palace maids, four second-class palace maids, six third-class palace maids, and countless palace maids in the palace.

There are ten palace maids waiting beside the concubine, including two first-class palace maids, four second-class palace maids, and four third-class palace maids.

There are eight palace maids waiting from the second concubine, including two first-class palace maids, two second-class palace maids, and four third-class palace maids.

There are six palace maids waiting around the third-class concubines and concubines, including two first-class palace maids, two second-class palace maids, and two third-class palace maids.

is a fourth-class Jieyu, from the fourth-grade beauty, four palace maids waiting around, two second-class palace maids, and two third-class palace maids.

is a five-grade talent, from the five-grade Baolin, the two palace maids waiting around him, regardless of rank.

Among the concubines in this harem, in addition to the queen's noble position and living alone in one palace, in fact, the palace will live in different grades of concubines, of course, only the concubines from the third rank are eligible to live in the first palace and live in the main hall.

When Empress Dowager Cui was the queen, there were 16 close palace maids around her. Later, the Empress Dowager Cui moved to Yongshou Palace, and according to the ancestral system, she could arrange as many twelve palace maids as the queen by her side.

But Empress Dowager Cui was afraid of making trouble in front of her, so she only left one big palace maid, four second-class palace maids, four third-class palace maids, and of course, there were countless rough palace people.

On weekdays, the Empress Dowager Cui is accompanied by Biyu and Mama An, and several older grandmothers also accompany the Empress Dowager Cui all the way.

Although Mei Cairen was a second-class palace maid in the past, everything she did was done by a first-class palace maid, and she received many rewards.

It is precisely because of this that Lingxi, an airborne personnel, will make those palace maids envious, jealous and hateful.

If the little palace maid in the big Yongshou Palace didn't dare to bully Lingxi at all, not to mention that her current grade was there, no one would dare to make a mistake even if she looked at the face of the Uncle Guo's mansion.

In the end, it is still jasper who is at work.

Although he didn't understand why Jasper hated him so much, Lingxi had already started to kill Jasper.

Lingxi is the kind of character that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and if people offend me, I dig her ancestral grave.

If this was in the previous life, getting rid of jasper would have been a matter of a gun. can travel to this Dashun harem, which is full of rules, and if you want to kill a palace maid with a higher grade than yourself without being discovered, you can only plan carefully.

From that day on, Lingxi was more respectful to Jasper. If Jasper wants that face, give it to her. What could be more important than the head around your neck? Lingxi still wants to keep his head and go out of the palace for a few years to live a happy life, so he doesn't want to be angry with Jasper on this.

Xu is Lingxi's obedient attitude made Biyu feel comfortable, Xu is Lingxi scared Xue'er and Xin'er, a group of third-class palace maids, and after that day, there was no mistake in making tea and delivering pastries.

Since she became the palace maid who poured tea and water in front of Empress Dowager Cui, she moved her residence to the original place where Mei Cairen lived. Chun'er also realized her original wish, and was arranged by Mama Qin to take care of Brother Wren. Because of the relationship between Lingxi, Chun'er is much more comfortable in Luomei Xuan than before.

After serving tea one day, Empress Dowager Cui pointed to the wren brother hanging in the Changle Hall and said to Lingxi, "Ling'er, this bird has not had a new word for some days. ”

Lingxi hurriedly knelt down and said to the Empress Dowager Cui, "The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, and the slave is clumsy." ”

Empress Dowager Cui smiled kindly, "Hurry up, don't kneel without moving, you can see that the mourners' eyes are tired." After Lingxi thanked her, Empress Dowager Cui said again, "Where is your clumsiness, it's not that you have no time to train it when you serve tea and pour water for the mourning family all day long." ”

Lingxi's heart trembled when she heard this, she had a small episode when she was a second-class palace maid. It is true that Father-in-law Qian accepted the benefits of Mei Cairen at the beginning, but he did not dare to privately arrange a craftsman who was not even as good as a palace maid to wait for Empress Dowager Cui. In particular, the spirit rhino is still a migratory bird, which is always good to say.

In the end, it was Empress Dowager Cui who personally agreed, and Lingxi successfully jumped a few levels. If it weren't for Lingxi being looked down upon by Empress Dowager Cui like this, I'm afraid Biyu wouldn't be so hostile to her.

Lingxi respectfully blessed and replied, "It is the blessing of a slave to be able to serve the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Cui smiled with a smile in her eyes, picked up the tea offered by Lingxi and tasted it, only to feel that in addition to the sweetness in her mouth, there was also a trace of sourness. This sourness not only did not ruin the taste of the flower tea, but instead hooked the tea fragrance with a trace of aftertaste. Empress Dowager Cui's slender Danfeng eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Today's tea is fresh, how to brew it?" ”

Lingxi replied, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave maid saw that the day was getting hotter, so she added two drops of lemon juice to it when making tea, I don't know if it suits the Queen Mother's appetite." ”

Biyu was full of smiles, Ruyu's hand was empty, and gently fell on the shoulder of the Empress Dowager Cui, and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, Ling'er is a thoughtful person, and she has a lot of small ideas on weekdays." ”

Empress Dowager Cui smiled and nodded, and a peony flower the size of a child's fist on her head trembled slightly, "It is indeed a thoughtful one." The wren brother is tired of hearing the words of the mourning family, so you will train this wren brother first and get something new. There is no shortage of attendants in front of the mourning family on the left and right, and you will come back after you have trained yourself. ”

Lingxi hurriedly bent his knees, and Fu Yifu said, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”

In this way, Lingxi's second-class palace maid was less than a month, and she was sent back to Luomei Xuan to train birds during the conversation and laughter of Empress Dowager Cui. Although Empress Dowager Cui did not remove her rank of second-class palace maid, those little palace maids treated her differently than in the past, and even the rough palace maid who swept the floor in the Changle Hall could say to her, "Miss Ling'er, please let go." ”

Lingxi looked coldly at these people who used to stamper her in the past, and now they want to stomp her into the mud, and sneered in her heart, how big can the toad in the well see?

is the same to her, who does not scold her when she is in power, and does not step on her after she is in trouble, only Chun'er.

Lingxi rarely went to the Changle Hall since that day, and only trained Brother Wren in Luomei Xuan with peace of mind. Empress Dowager Cui said that she wanted to hear something new but didn't say that she wanted to hear what Brother Wren said, which can only be pondered by Lingxi herself, just like Lingxi never understood why Empress Dowager Cui asked her to teach Brother Wren to recite the Book of Poetry last time.

Chun'er really couldn't see those little palace maids showing Lingxi's face, so she said, "I don't know if you are really stupid or fake, the Queen Mother only said that you trained the bird and went back, and didn't send you away, why are you so silent here?" You have trained Brother Wren to return to the Queen Mother, so as to frustrate the spirit of those who look down on people. ”

Lingxi used a knife to cut the best lean meat into thin strips, and fed them to Brother Wren one by one, until Brother Wren ate the minced meat, Lingxi turned back to Chun'er and said, "Sister what's in a hurry, the Queen Mother has Sister Jade in front of her, and there is no shortage of people to wait." ”

Chun'er saw that she couldn't understand the spiritual rhino, so she stomped her foot and stopped paying attention to the spiritual rhino. She was anxious for Lingxi, but Lingxi still had the heart to say cool things here.

On that day, as soon as the sun set, Lingxi held a small cage made of straw in his hand and said to Mama Qin, the head of Luomei Xuan, and said, "Mama, Brother Wren's spirit has been a little sluggish these days, I am afraid that I heard the crickets crying, and the slave wanted to catch a few crickets for it to relieve its hunger." But we didn't see each other in Luomei Xuan, so we thought about trying our luck in the Imperial Garden. ”

Mama Qin paused her hand for tea, and shouted softly, "Oh, this Yongshou Palace is about to fall into the key." People in the palace are not allowed to move around at night, don't you know? ”

"The slave knows it," Lingxi's face was embarrassed, "but this wren brother doesn't eat...... When it was not in the palace, the slave and maid would catch some small insects for it to eat in the summer...... I'm afraid I'm used to it......"

Mama Qin hesitated for a while, her knife-like eyes scraped and scraped on Lingxi's face, and finally said, "You go, but you must come back early, I will ask people to wait for you at the foot door of Luo Meixuan, you remember to buckle the door three times." ”

After Lingxi was blessed, he went out with gratitude.

Luomeixuan's foot door is specially reserved for Luomeixuan's craftsmen to go in and out to get fertilizer, not to mention at night, even if it is daytime, it is closed for a long time.

After two minutes, Lingxi buckled the foot door three times as Mama Qin said.

The chains in the door slived, and Lingxi vaguely saw that it was a person taller than herself who opened the door, and when she returned to the courtyard, through the light from the window, Lingxi saw that the person who opened the door for her was Mama Qin.

As soon as Lingxi wanted to say goodbye, she saw Mama Qin waving her hand and whispered, "Go back to the house." ”

Ling Xi, who returned to the ear room, covered her heart and trembled, she never expected that it would be Mama Qin who opened the door for her, did she know anything?

But why should Mama Qin help herself? Still, Mama Qin was just kind enough to open the door.

Chun'er saw that Lingxi's face was pale, so she asked, "Didn't you say to catch crickets?" Did you catch it? ”

Lingxi smiled at Chun'er and said, "This early summer cricket is really a spirit elf, but I still caught a few." As he spoke, he shook the small cage containing the crickets in front of Chun'er's eyes, "Ming'er will feed it to Brother Wren." ”

Chun'er nodded, and said with a little spirit on her forehead, "No matter how spiritual you are, you can't be spiritual, hurry up and wash and sleep, and after a while, Mama Qin will scold again when she sees that she hasn't blown out the lamp." ”

Lingxi nodded, plucked the pearl-encrusted flower on his head, and put it in the jewelry box painted with red paint in front of the bronze mirror.

When he got up the next day, Lingxi still fed the birds as before, and quietly listened to the movements in the front hall.

Chun'er saw that Lingxi's wood was like wood, so she no longer persuaded Lingxi to wait in front of the Queen Mother. I thought that Lingxi's temperament would be more stable in Luomei Xuan.

Mama Qin's eyes looked at Lingxi even more incomprehensible, she didn't mention the matter of guarding the door for Lingxi that day, and Lingxi didn't mention it. Lingxi saw her as usual on weekdays, and the amount of silver she had filial piety in that month was not less than in previous months, and it was not much more.

It was quiet until the end of May, when something happened in the Changle Palace.

Empress Dowager Cui threw the hosta she gave to Jasper on the ground and broke it into two pieces, losing her temper.

Biyu knelt in front of Changle Palace, her forehead was bleeding, and she couldn't stop scolding Mei Cairen for framing her. Empress Dowager Cui was so angry that she made Jasper's mouth swollen and unable to speak, and blasted out of the palace.
