"Zhong Cui Palace is going to pick two new palace maids this time, which of you wants to serve Concubine Lan?"

In the huge courtyard, the daylilies were slightly drunk, and the woman in a chai-gray palace dress stared at the dozen or so tender girls in front of her with a serious face, and said in a cold tone: "Concubine Lan, but the emperor's most favored nobleman, this time the palace maid was also selected because the previous palace maid was old, and she was sent out of the palace, if any of you want to go to Lan Guifei, after a while, let the father-in-law Pei on duty come to collect people."

The courtyard was deep, the breeze blew, and the girls in the palace maid's skirts hung their heads and did not speak.

Who doesn't know, in the palace, the most difficult thing to serve is the Lan Guifei, who is said to be the most favored by the emperor and kind-hearted, but in fact she is a ruthless master.

Since the old palace maid was sent out of the palace, Lan Guifei went there several groups of people, but within a few days, these people, somehow, either drowned in the well, or something went wrong, and were sent to the torture room by Lan Guifei to be beaten to death, I heard that the palace maid who was beaten to death had broken bones all over her body, and there was no good meat on her body, and when she was dragged out to feed the dog, the dog didn't eat it.

The palace maid who wants to ascend to the sky again, when she heard this, she also felt frightened, and she didn't dare to go to Concubine Lan anymore, she just wanted to stay in a stable place, take the moon gift, and go out of the palace to find a good family.

"No one is going?"

Mama Yu, who cultivates palace maids on weekdays, has a bad tone, and her eyes are like hooks staring at people, "If no one goes, Concubine Lan has no explanation, and when the time comes, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

More than ten girls were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to speak.

"Humph!"

Mama Yu's mouth trembled, and she was about to point out the two of them, when a girl standing in the middle suddenly shouted boldly: "What, the slave is willing to serve the mother."

Mama Yu heard the sound and saw that she was a little girl who had just entered the palace, with red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, like a doll coming out of the New Year's painting.

Mama Yu's face froze: "What's your name?"

The little girl hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Slave Xiaocha, I helped cook in the imperial dining room before."

"I know," Mama Yu beckoned: "You come out, and after a while, you will follow Gonggong Pei to serve the concubine."

"The slave obeys."

After deciding on a palace maid, Mama Yu said in a deep voice: "Who else is going to go?"

Seeing that someone was willing to go to Zhongcui Palace, several other palace maids pushed and shoved, and a little girl came out, "The slave maid Xia Qiu is also willing to serve the concubine Niangniang." ”

"Okay." An awkward smile appeared on Mama Yu's withered face, "You two go together." ”

This grandmother also knew about Concubine Lan, because she had some guilt in her heart, so she asked who was going, on weekdays, whoever was pointed out to go, who had to go, this time, it can be regarded as a good thing.

Seeing that someone was willing to go to death, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed.

When Gonggong Pei of Zhongcui Palace came to lead the people, the two palace maids followed their father-in-law and went to Zhongcui Palace.

Zhongcui Palace is the most gorgeous palace after the queen's Fengqi Palace.

Concubine Lan is also the second only concubine in the palace to the queen, the scenery in the palace is pleasant, there are countless rare and exotic plants, with the glazed tiles shining on the palace, and the white jade stone on the ground, the whole palace looks very luxurious.

After leading the people outside, the handsome Gonggong Pei took the lead in entering the main hall of the concubine and went in to make a complaint.

In a few moments, the concubine taught them to go inside.

Open the carved door, the main hall wafted a little incense, behind the gorgeous mandarin duck playing in the water screen, a Yunzhi Ruicao palace skirt, wearing a seventeen pearl crown, a cat's eye stone, a mouth smeared with cinnabar, two beautiful women with smoke, is sitting lazily on the bed, looking lazily at the two of them.

The woman who was exquisitely dressed, full of luxury, and delicate eyebrows was Concubine Lan.

Her eyes swept over the faces of the palace maids, and her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler, which was very nice: "You are the person sent by Mama Yu?"

The two palace maids were sincerely frightened, and they made a big gift to the woman, "Slave maid, I have seen the concubine Niangniang." ”

"Get up," Lan Shu on the bed chuckled, her eyes were soft and indifferent, if it weren't for the corners of her eyes being too sharp, she was really a kind-hearted corner, but it was a pity that the coldness under her eyes was too gloomy, and her scalp was numb, she smiled and said: "If such a thing happened in Zhongcui Palace, the two of you can still come over, this palace is really happy."

"Peishan," she called out to her father-in-law, and commanded, "Go to the inner room and bring the reward."

Duke Pei took the order and left, and in a moment, he handed over two heavy ingots of silver to the palace maids.

The two of them opened their eyes wide in surprise and kowtowed to Lan Shu again, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Lan Shu was very impressed by the gratitude and surprise on their faces, "Knowing that gratitude is enough, in this Zhongcui Palace, as long as An An serves the palace, the palace will not be able to treat you badly." ”

When the two palace maids heard this, they were overjoyed, "Everything is as the mother ordered." ”

"Alright, Grandpa Pei, take them out."

Lan Shu waved his hand, "Explain everything you want to explain to them, let them go to Mama Jiang's place for a few days, and when the training is done, they will come to serve the palace." ”

"Yes."

Gonggong Pei took the two out again, and when he walked to the door of the side hall, Gonggong Pei turned his head, and his fair and clean face showed a hint of yin, "What the concubine said to you, do you still remember?" ”

The two palace maids were frightened by him, and nodded busily, and the grandfather of Pei said again: "In this palace, it is not better than you in Mama's place, everything here has to obey the orders of the concubine Niangniang, even if the concubine Niangniang let you die, you also have to know it?"

The two palace maids nodded tremblingly, but their hearts were shocked.

Concubine Lan, this is really a tiger's den in Longtan.

Father-in-law Pei continued: "Since you have entered here, everything has to be dominated by the noble concubine, do you want to know who and what you see?"

"Got it."

"Also," Grandpa Pei's eyes fell directly on the faces of the two palace maids, "Here, it is better to have a door in your mouth, you must know what to say and what not to say, especially the matter of the concubine, no matter what you see, you have to close the door tightly, otherwise the concubine will pull out your tongue, don't complain in your heart." ”

At the thought of being plucked out of their tongues, and the bones that might be beaten were broken, the two palace maids were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they only knelt down to show their loyalty.

Seeing that the reminder was almost there, Gong Pei took them to the hut by the side hall.

"Recently, you have followed the nurse of the concubine Niangniang, Mama Jiang, and she will teach you how to serve the concubine Niangniang."

With that, he pushed open the door of the house, and an old woman in gray linen clothes was standing in the room, holding a whip to reprimand the disobedient palace maid.

Father-in-law Pei pointed to the woman who beat the whip down hard without frowning, and said coldly: "That's Mama Jiang."

Seeing that the palace maid was covered in blood and did not have a piece of good meat, the two palace maids couldn't help but shudder.

Zhong Cui Palace is really more terrifying than the sea of swords and fire.
