Chapter 54: Qi Yuxuan
Mrs. Li saw Master Qi's somewhat panicked expression, and saw the concerned eyes of everyone in the Qi family, he waved his hand a little freely and said:
"It's okay, why am I laughing? Is it because the teenager I knew at the beginning did not change his original intention? Laughing at you for not giving up on anyone? This smile is a smile of joy, a smile of joy, not a smile of loss.
Over the years, although I have only guarded my wife, I am used to seeing everyone's conspiracy and calculation, and one by one in order to climb up, they have lost their original appearance, abandoned the people they valued, and forgot their original intentions.
Don't just talk about others, sometimes even I take into account my own interests in dealing with people, always consider my position, consider the gains and losses, but ignore human feelings, but I am glad that you have never changed your original intention over the years, do you remember how we met in the first place?"
"How did we meet?"
"It's just to fight the grievances, at the beginning, Mrs. Li was born in an ordinary family, and there was no money left in the family for him to study, or because of his intelligence, he was exempted from tuition fees and enrolled in the school to study, but there were many rich sons among them, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed because of his background.
It was still Master Qi who had never attacked the Lord to protect him more, and Mrs. Li was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and since then he has been friendly with Master Qi, and the two have always had a close relationship and helped each other a lot."
Master Qi didn't expect Mrs. Li to remember this, he waved his hand a little embarrassed, and then said to Mrs. Li:
"What else are you talking about? So much time has passed, not to mention that you have also helped us a lot in the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion, and after all, I am useless, I can't make decisive decisions, and I always think a lot about the future."
Master Qi spoke very self-deprecatingly, but was interrupted by Mrs. Li's opening, only to see him say with a bit of sincerity:
"Why do you think that? Besides, the mountain people have their own clever plans, although the method I originally thought of was good, but it was a little too cold, and now I have a countermeasure in my heart, but you wait for me to be more complete, and then I will talk to you in detail."
And at this time, in the Yufu Palace......
Aunt Zhao can value Li Shanggong, naturally she has some ability, Qi Min'er instructed her to send a letter to Wu Shizi, and by the way, to find out who targeted the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion in the past, but after half a day's effort, she launched her contacts, investigated the general situation, and then hurriedly ran back to Qi Min'er.
She is now called by Qi Min'er to serve her, but the other party remembers the care she gave her in the Huanyi Bureau in the past, but this gratitude cannot be turned into trust, only by letting the other party see her ability, and then can she fully rely on her.
Now that she has become the aunt in charge of Qi Min'er's side, she is naturally prosperous and lossy, she must help Qi Min'er gain a foothold, and also earn a future for herself. z.br>
"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid went to see Wu Shizi, he originally planned to leave Beijing, and later read the letter sent by the slave maid, he just said to let you rest assured, he knows it in his own heart, and he will definitely live up to the value of the mother, and at the same time ask the mother to take care of herself in the palace."
Qi Min'er heard Wu Shizi's earnest entrustment, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyebrows, but she quickly covered up the past.
She is indeed very grateful for Wu Shizi's help, but she really has no love for him, and now she only has hatred in her heart, she treated those people so well, but those people treated her like that, and even wanted to fall into the well and step on a few more feet, now that she has been crowned a virtuous concubine, she naturally has to repay them well.
So the expression on Qi Min'er's face turned cold again, she raised her head and glanced at Aunt Zhao, and then said slowly:
"You have done a good job in this matter, I instruct you to investigate the people who were embarrassed in the past by the Marquis of Mingyuan, and you should also investigate as soon as possible."
"Back to Niangniang, the list is here, but the slave maid is in a bit of a hurry, I don't know if it's complete? The specific slaves and maids should be instructed to be carefully visited."
Seeing Aunt Zhao's speed so fast, Qi Min'er really added a little interest, she raised her hand to take the paper, and saw that it was a very delicate hairpin flower, Qi Min'er likes to practice calligraphy, and naturally values talented people, not to mention Aunt Zhao
This person looks steady, and he has a bit of Li Shanggong's sensitivity.
"Okay, you did a good job in this matter, then who are the female dependents in the palace as concubines in this list, you go to find out, and by the way, tell me all the contacts and intersections they have when they are in the palace."
"Yes, the slave knows." Aunt Zhao should have just stepped down, but she saw Qi Min'er calling her and handing her a purse.
The purse looked like it was a high-quality embroidery, it was made very gorgeously, and it didn't look like it was an ordinary reward for slaves, and Qi Min'er didn't throw it over to reward her at will, but handed it to her with a high value.
Aunt Zhao was just about to resign, she was already serving by the other party's side, so is it worth rewarding again? What's more, this is worth a lot of money, she was about to say that doing these things is her own business, and when she couldn't get Qi Min'er's reward, she heard Qi Min'er say indifferently:
"You don't have to excuse yourself too much, you should be punished if you are guilty, and you should be rewarded if you have merit, this is the rule in the Yufu Palace, and it is also set by the palace, only in this way the rewards and punishments are clear, and the people below can do good deeds, you are the aunt in charge of this Yufu Palace, naturally the first one, this purse was originally intended to be given to each other to the concubines, and the things in it are so good that you can take them, and they can be regarded as your own body."
I value you naturally and don't want to bury you, with your intelligence, now that I am a virtuous concubine, and you are the aunt in charge by my side, naturally I can't just be a palace maid without rank.
After a while, I will personally go to Your Majesty and send you to the Shanggong Bureau to hang an idle position, at least the position of the sixth grade, as for the future promotion, it will depend on your own ability? How?"
Aunt Zhao didn't expect her to attract Qi Min'er's reward this time, not only to give her such an expensive reward, but also to promise her to enter the Shang Palace Bureau to do things.
You must know that it is very difficult for palace maids to be named female officials, ordinary palace maids like them are non-hierarchical trainee palace maids when they enter the palace, and only when they learn the rules and are assigned everywhere can they be named third-class palace maids, and then promoted from third-class palace maids to second-class palace maids, and then to first-class aunts.
It's just that it's not so easy, not only to get the attention of the boss, but also to have some ability, only in this way can you be the aunt in charge alone, just good at slapping horses is not enough.
After becoming a first-class palace maid, she has the qualification to participate in the female official promotion examination, which is held once a year, and those who perform well can enter the Shanggong Bureau, and then see which department they are good at, and they will be promoted to the ninth rank female official.
After becoming a female officer, the promotion only depends on her own ability, and the kind of person who has never been promoted, only guards her own position.
There are also those who have a very prominent performance, such as Li Shanggong before, because of her outstanding performance, she was promoted from a first-class palace maid to a nine-rank female official, and soon rose to the eighth-grade Zhangzhen, the seventh-grade decoration to the sixth-grade Si Zhen, until now she is the fifth-grade Shanggong, which is the head of the Shanggong Bureau.
Now that Li Shanggong has been re-elected for two dynasties, she is very powerful, her current identity and status, even low-level concubines dare not say too much when they see her, this is the benefit of female officials.
Aunt Zhao is naturally looking forward to being a female official, but this road is too difficult, although she has a few cleverness, she is not sure that she will definitely become a female official, and now Qi Min'er said that she can be arranged in the Shanggong Bureau, which is naturally a great surprise for Aunt Zhao.
She hurriedly made another big bow to Qi Min'er to express her gratitude, and said her loyalty again, Qi Min'er nodded, and then sent her down, looking at Aunt Zhao's back when she left the palace, Qi Min'er lowered her eyes slightly.
Aunt Zhao is a capable person, such a capable person only relies on rewards to completely envelop him, you have to give her what she wants most, she can do things for you wholeheartedly, Qi Min'er only felt that this time when she entered the Shang Palace Bureau, she saw the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and also understood her naivety before, she only felt that she seemed to be more proficient in grasping and studying and planning.
Sure enough, after giving Aunt Zhao this promise, Aunt Zhao acted more quickly, but in the evening, she presented all the news from the investigation to Qi Min'er to see, Qi Min'er flipped through the booklet handed over by Aunt Zhao, and listened to her whisper in her ear:
"There are three concubines in these people's families, namely Han Jieyu, Zhou Imperial Girl and Liu Imperial Daughter, among which Han Jieyu is tall because she is tall, she was named Jieyu as soon as she entered the palace, which is a good position in the harem, Han Jieyu is quite cold, and she usually has little contact with the people in the harem, let alone submit anything or something, except for when she goes to Luanfeng Hall every day to ask for peace, she generally rarely goes out of the palace.
And the Zhou Imperial Girl and the Liu Imperial Girl are a little bit of a disagreement, the two of them heard that there was some conflict in the deep boudoir in the past, and later after entering the palace, they both became the royal maid, this royal maid belongs to the concubine of the seventh grade, and can not live alone in the same palace, the two of them are arranged to live in Qi Yuxuan because of their same position, I heard that these two are also arguing day by day,"
Hearing this, Qi Min'er thought for a moment, and then the corners of her lips hooked up with a sneer:
"Han Jieyu lives in Jian and doesn't care about her for the time being, but the two of them can operate well, since they already have some conflicts, now that they live together in Qi Yuxuan, I am afraid that the contradictions are even deeper? Even so, a little bit of trickery was used to make them make a fuss.
As concubines, they should be demure and gentle, and if they are innocent of their words and deeds, this palace can exercise its power to report to His Majesty as an assistant to the Sixth Palace, so as to hold their mother's family accountable, hum!"
Qi Min'er sneered while thinking about this, now that her foundation is not deep, she is just trying to make them lose some face for the time being, otherwise how can she repay them for their fall in the ground?
Aunt Zhao wasn't surprised to see Qi Min'er arrange this, now that Qi Min'er is already a concubine, these battles will naturally not be less.
And what she has to do is to help Qi Min'er do a good job, let her take action and add fuel to the fire, but not let everyone be aware and vigilant.
