In April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the heavy winter shirt is replaced by the spring shirt, because the concubines have a miscarriage, and the palace concubines who have been cautious for a while with their tails between them are all showing off their branches. [No pop-ups. 】

There are concubines who have fallen out of favor, and there are new concubines who have been favored, and now in the palace, the favored one is still Concubine Guo, followed by the jade nobles, Yang Concubine and Liu Concubine have an average of three days every month, and the rest of the beauties are favored for one or two days, and Jingyang Palace is completely forgotten by His Majesty.

Wang Ronghe asked people to sort out the details of the palace people and eunuchs who are now serving in the palace, and she said to Cui Shanggong, "The population in the palace has not been assessed and advanced for a long time, and after taking this opportunity to investigate, all palace people except for the various bureaus and palaces must participate in kǎo shì and reclassify kǎo shì." ”

"People like Niangniang who are close to you don't know how to make up for injuries, which is absolutely impossible." Wang Ronghe said. "All those who are not qualified are sent out of the palace. But Nian has served in the palace, and there is no big fault, and everyone who leaves the palace can get ten taels of silver and a red satin settlement fee, which comes from the private treasury of Kunning Palace. There are also palace maids between the ages of twenty-five and thirty, if there are those who want to leave the palace, let them out. In addition to the settling-in allowance, the share of rewards obtained in the palace can also be taken out. ”

"That Niangniang, are you going to select palace maids from outside the palace again?" Cui Shanggong said.

"Don't use it yet, there are few masters in the palace now, and we will talk about it when there are more people in the future." Wang Ronghe said. "In this assessment, the palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau can also participate, but those who have only been demoted to the Huanyi Bureau this year cannot participate."

Wang Ronghe took the time to see Fang Ruo once, she saluted in a proper manner, without the slightest hint of the previous look at Shenhui, Wang Ronghe looked at her, "You have been in the Huanyi Bureau for a year in the blink of an eye, can you complain about the palace?" ”

"Slaves don't dare." Fang Ruo said, "The slave maid can actually go out of the Huanyi Bureau a long time ago, but the slave maid doesn't, the slave maid is waiting for the queen." ”

"Do you still want to serve Hongu?" Wang Ronghe asked.

"It is the honor of a slave to serve my mother." Fang Ruo said.

"Then, this palace will give you a chance, whether you can climb up or not depends on your creation." Wang Ronghe said.

The palace maid rated kǎo shì, Fang Ruo, who was in the Huanyi Bureau, heard the news and knew that this was the opportunity that the queen mother said, Fang Ruo turned around and found someone to go to huó dòng to see if she could get any inside information.

The grandmother of the Huanyi Bureau looked at her, "Fang Ruo, are you going to participate in this kǎo shì?" ”

"Our Huanyi Bureau doesn't serve closely, so it doesn't matter if you don't take this test." Mama said, "Although the palace is good, you don't suffer in the Huanyi Bureau now, and you are much freer." There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, and it is not as quiet as the Huanyi Bureau. ”

"I'm still young, and my goal is not to be a grandmother in the Huanyi Bureau." Fang Ruo said. "This opportunity is rare, and it is even more rare for the people of the Huanyi Bureau. Mama is preparing to retire in the Huanyi Bureau, and if the rest of the people are still indifferent, it will be a big fool. ”

The kǎo shì rating of all palace people, the difficulty is layer by layer, and what level is passed, it is what level, and only those who pass the lower level can participate in the high-level kǎo shì. The palace ladies are less literate, and the first five layers of kǎo shì do not involve literacy and hyphenation, and of course, only the kǎo shì of the back four layers will be palace people with rank. When the front kǎo shì is in the front, the people in the back are fewer.

It wasn't until June, when the first lotus bloomed, that the final result was reached, and all the twelve palace people who had passed through the nine-layer kǎo shì appeared in front of Wang Ronghe, and Fang Ruo seemed to be inside.

"Niangniang, among these twelve people, six of them are palace people with grades in the original six bureaus, and six people are low-level palace people who were admitted, and the worry-free Kunning Palace in it is a palace person who came in from Yongnian Bofu, and he has such a result in the first time he participated in the big exam, which is really a good way for Niangniang."

"In addition, Baozhang was examined from the Qianqing Palace, Mengxiang was examined from the Qin'an Palace, Ye Lan was examined from the Cining Palace, Gu Yanxi was originally selected by the Chuxiu Palace, and she was not yet served, she was voluntarily demoted to the palace to participate in the kǎo shì, and the last Fang Ruo was examined from the Huanyi Bureau." Cui Shanggong said one by one.

Wang Ronghe looked at Gu Yanxi, wearing palace clothes, standing calmly with his hands down, although he was not very good-looking, but he also had the bearing of poetry and books. "Why don't you be a waiter, but a palace person?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the waiters, the palace people are all serving people, and the slaves and maids feel that the palace people are more comfortable." Gu Yanxi replied.

"The harem is all His Majesty's women, and His Majesty can be fortunate to whoever he wants, whether she is a waiter or a palace person?" Wang Ronghe said.

"Slaves and maids are not liked by His Majesty when they are servants, and they will naturally not be liked by His Majesty when they are palace people." Gu Yanxi said.

Wang Ronghe nodded. She said to the twelve people, "You can pass the tests at all levels, and you are all heroes among women." "Wang Rong and each have their own rewards, and in the same way, these twelve people can also choose where they want to serve next.

The palace people who originally served in the sixth bureau naturally hoped to return to the sixth bureau, and with a wave of their hands, Wang Rong and the big hand waved their hands and became the second only position in their bureau after Shang Gong, "The significance of the assessment lies in this, and those who can live in it." ”

Bao Zhang naturally wanted to go back to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "Aunt Bao Zhang is already the highest-ranking palace person in the Qianqing Palace, Aunt Bao Zhang doesn't want to move the land, but the palace doesn't know how to reward it?" ”

"The slave maid came to kǎo shì yuan for nothing else, but she couldn't fall into the breeze of the Qianqing Palace." Bao Zhang said.

"Aunt Baozhang is capable, but the other palace people in the Qianqing Palace can't relax, this palace has heard that the results of the rest of the palace people are not good?" Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "Cui Shanggong is very distressed when he talks to the palace, after all, the low one has to make way for the high one, and he is afraid that he will make His Majesty angry if he moves the people of the Qianqing Palace." ”

"What the mother said made the slave and maid ashamed." Baozhang said, "As soon as the palace people of the Qianqing Palace should be replaced, they will do things according to the rules, Your Majesty likes to serve the inner guards, and the palace people have no preference except for the ministers." ”

"That'll be fine." Wang Ronghe said. She added another reward to Baozhang.

Meng Xiang wanted to go to Cining Palace to serve the Queen Mother, Wang Ronghe looked at Ye Lan who was admitted to Cining Palace, "Do you want to change?" ”

"Queen Mother, the slave doesn't want to change." Ye Lan said.

Wang Ronghe said to Mengxiang, "Look, there is already Ye Lan in Cining Palace, why don't you go to Ci'an Palace to serve the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is very benevolent and very lenient." ”

"Slaves and maids obey the orders of the queen." Mengxiang kowtowed and said.

The rest of Gu Yanxi and Fang Ruo all wanted to go to Kunning Palace to serve the queen, Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "So many excellent people are going to Kunning Palace, isn't that the palace Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?" ”

"Kunning Palace's red plum is not good this time, should you keep it?" Cui Shanggong asked.

"Do what you do." Wang Ronghe said. "But she was given to the palace by Mrs. Wuqinghou, and it is not easy to send it elsewhere, so let's send it to Ci'an Palace."

"Yes." Cui Shanggong said.

Wang Ronghe also said that such ratings should be carried out more, "When people have hope, or when they have a crisis, they will do things well." ”

"The age of leaving the palace is set at twenty-three, the palace people are more than twenty-three years old, if you want to leave the palace, you can apply to the Shanggong Bureau, and if the review is correct, you will be released from the palace, twenty-three, you can also marry and have children when you leave the palace." Wang Ronghe said that it was better than spending his whole life in this palace.

"Niangniang Bodhisattva's heart." Cui Shanggong said that she had shown kindness to the queen mother since she was in Chuxiu Palace, and the queen mother understood it, but she never asked her to do anything, even after becoming the queen, there was nothing else except to give her trust. In this palace rating, all palaces are speculating that the queen is taking the opportunity to buy people to install eyeliner, but Cui Shanggong knows that the queen mother has not done anything.

Ci'an Palace and Qianqing Palace also knew that the queen had done nothing in this palace upbeat, and Empress Dowager Li asked her confidants, "Do you say that the queen is really simple, or is she planning big?" ”

"I can't see what I'm planning for the time being, but there is no doubt that the queen is really kind." The henchman said. "It's the Queen Mother and Her Majesty who have a torch in their eyes, and the queen who picks them naturally can't be wrong."

Empress Dowager Li tilted her head, she was still a little suspicious, they were all women, and at this status, they were not greedy at all, and there were such women?

After Zhu Yijun found out, he just said, "She is so pure and kind, but I don't know how many people in the harem can comprehend this goodness." ”

"As long as Your Majesty can comprehend Niangniang's goodness, the slave thinks, and Niangniang will be satisfied." Zhang Cheng said.

In the afternoon, Wang Ronghe wrote a small note to His Majesty, she went out of the palace alone, and two people came in, but the personnel exceeded the standard, Wang Ronghe wrote a small note to Your Majesty, hoping to tolerate that there were more people in her palace.

"It's a little thing worth asking." Zhu Yijun took the note and said funny, "In terms of the current personnel, add five more people to the Kunning Palace, the queen is now in charge of the palace, and more people are needed to serve, don't let the queen shorten the number of people to serve." ”

"Yes." Zhang Chengdao.

Gu Yanxi wanted to come to Kunning Palace to serve, and the rest of the palace people in Kunning Palace were skeptical, suspecting that she just wanted to come to Kunning Palace to take the opportunity of His Majesty's frequent visit to Kunning Palace to be favored.

Wang Ronghe still let her serve closely, even when His Majesty came, he also called her to serve in front of him, and asked Wang Ronghe without worry, "Aren't you worried?" ”

"Worried about what?" Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "If she has a different heart, I will arrange her to sweep the floor in Kunning Palace, and she can find an opportunity, if she doesn't have a different heart, I will abandon her because of suspicion, wouldn't I miss a talent." ”

"You, usually watch more and learn more, don't ask me such childish questions again." Wang Ronghe said.

"Slaves and maids understand the truth, but if you care, it's messy." Say without worry.

Zhu Yijun couldn't remember that there was still Gu Yanxi in his palace.

And Gu Yanxi really didn't mean anything about His Majesty.

Gradually, everyone accepted her.

Now Wang Rong and the four big palace maids, worry-free, Gu Yanxi, Fang Ruo, Hibiscus, and Hibiscus brushed down on the eighth layer of kǎo shì, although it is also very good, but now the four palace people, only she did not pass the last kǎo shì, although the queen mother still let her stay in the position of the big palace maid, but Furong no longer has the momentum that she used to be.

Miaorong and Yuqiao's kǎo shì are not high scores, but the queen mother is used to their craftsmanship, so she doesn't move the nest. They are already more relaxed than other palace people, so they often bury their heads in hard reading when they are relaxed.

The atmosphere of the palace people's love of learning that came out of the Kunning Palace affected the harem, and this is the story later.
