Chapter 148: Appointment
Yang Yan was not moved by their words, with his mentality, he would not be so superficial, but he did need to have a group of loyal enough subordinates, judging from the performance of these guards who did not betray him, the problem of loyalty was actually not big, mainly because he was imprisoned by the strict rank, and subconsciously thought that he could not do anything to the five princes, so he naturally did not dare to resist.
But none of this is a problem, with his means it is enough to turn them into wolves that dare to bite any enemy.
"Thank Your Highness for not killing your grace, I will only obey Your Highness's orders!" the guards kowtowed and thanked him, and then raised his head again.
Yang Yan was expressionless, looked at those maids, and said lightly, "Which of you is Yu Yao?"
Although these maids have been serving him for a short time, he really doesn't remember their names and appearances, so Qinghe has a little impression as the leading maid.
Of course, with the appearance of these maids at the moment, Yang Yan can't recognize them even if he has an impression.
"Back to Your Highness, the slave maid is exactly. A voice came from among the maids, and I saw the maid kneeling in front of her, and her mouth seemed to have been beaten so vigorously that her voice was not very clear, but judging from her slender figure, she was definitely a rare beauty before.
As a maid, it was an incomparably glorious thing to be asked by the prince in public, which was enviable, but in this situation, Yang Yan suddenly asked like this, but it made Yuyao nervous, and she didn't know what His Highness was going to do.
"I heard that when these untalented guards of this prince fell, you stood up to block the fifth prince?" Yang Yan asked lightly.
“...... Be. Yu Yao said worriedly, looking at Yang Yan's indifferent expression, she couldn't guess his joy and anger at all.
"This prince also heard that you are one of the most outstanding among so many maids, and even the fifth prince is infected by your beauty and wants you to serve him, but is there such a thing?" Yang Yan still asked indifferently, his eyes were extremely deep, as if he wanted to see through people.
However, hearing this, Yu Yao was shocked, her body trembled fiercely, and she hurriedly said: "Your Highness! The slave maid is wronged, the five princes did mention it, but the slave maid really did not agree to the five princes, let alone have anything to do with him, the slave maid is willing to have a physical examination to prove her innocence, and please ask His Royal Highness to investigate!"
The other maids didn't expect Yang Yan to ask about it, thinking that he suspected that Yu Yao and the five princes were not innocent, so they immediately knelt down and stepped forward, and said: "The slave maid and others can prove that what Yu Yao said is all true, and there is absolutely no falsehood, otherwise Yu Yao and she would not have become what she is now, please ask Your Highness to find out!"
Qinghe, who was standing on the side, also stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the slave maid can also testify, Yuyao is innocent, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, let people check her body, everything will be clear, please Your Highness know!"
There was also a maid who also planned to step forward to speak for Yu Yao, but was stopped by Yang Yan waving his hand, only to hear him say lightly: "You all retreat first, what is the truth, this prince has his own decision in his heart." ”
"Yes!" Qinghe and the others glanced at Yu Yao hesitantly, but they still retreated as ordered, at this time, it was obviously very unwise to disobey Yang Yan, and it was likely to harm Yu Yao.
Yang Yan's eyes were on Yu Yao, a little more aggressive, which made her nervous for a while, her palms were sweaty, Yang Yan asked lightly: "Do you know that it is your honor for the fifth prince to take a fancy to you, if you serve him well, the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible, this is an errand that many people can't envy, it's not something you can compare with as a little maid." ”
"Yes. "Yu Yao doesn't know, with her appearance, if she serves the five princes comfortably, although it is impossible to be the main room, it is possible to be a concubine, I don't know how much higher it is than the identity of a maid, it will indeed make many people envious.
But for the sake of these so-called glory and wealth, is she going to sell her body?
"Then why do you refuse?" asked Yang Yan, his sharp eyes as if he wanted to see through people's hearts.
"The slave doesn't want that. Yu Yao shook her head and said, maybe in the eyes of many people, it is undesirable for a sparrow to be able to fly on the branches as a phoenix, but she doesn't want to do this, for a very simple reason, whether she is naïve or stupid, that's what she thinks and does.
Just like when she stood up to block the five princes, all she thought was that she couldn't let people with bad intentions step into His Highness's bedroom.
At this moment, all the maids and guards looked at this woman, or the girl's eyes were not mocking, but full of admiration, a person who can refuse such a temptation is still a maid, how can it not be admired?
Qinghe looked at her and couldn't help but think to herself: Maybe it would be more appropriate to let her be this consul?
"Not bad. Yang Yan spoke, and the same flat tone made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and their worried hearts calmed down: "It is really rare for a little maid to have such a heart, and it is more appreciated by this prince than these untalented guards." ”
"Your Highness has won the award, and the slave is just ...... I just did my part. Suddenly praised by Yang Yan, Yu Yao was a little overwhelmed, and those guards were embarrassed, but they were not dissatisfied, Yu Yao did a lot better than them.
"Then tell me, how should this prince reward you?" Yang Yan said lightly.
"This ......" Yu Yao didn't know what to say for a while, but said: "Your Highness doesn't blame the slave maid for being the best reward, and the slave maid doesn't dare to ask for more." ”
"Your Highness!" At this moment, Qinghe on the side stepped forward and said, "The slave maid has a proposal, I don't know what His Highness thinks?"
Say. Yang Yan glanced at her lightly and said.
"Yes, the slave maid proposed to let Yu Yao take the place of Qinghe and manage the ordinary maids, of course, the slave maid is also under her control. Qinghe Yingying said.
"Sister Qinghe!" Yu Yao was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect that Qing He would give way to her at this time, and hurriedly said: "How can this be? ”
"Don't talk about Yu Yao, my sister is also derelict in this matter, it's not suitable to sit in this position again, it's just right to give way to you, my sister believes that you can do better than me, right?" Qinghe said to Yu Yao with a smile, she really gave way.
Yu Yao bowed her head and said nothing, while Qing He turned to Yang Yan and said, "The slave has been, and I am willing to give way to Yu Yao, what does Your Highness think?"
Yang Yan looked at Qinghe, this woman knows how to advance and retreat, treats people kindly, and can also raise talents, she is indeed a good candidate to serve as a consul, but from his point of view, Yuyao is indeed more suitable than Qinghe.
Don't look at Yu Yao's young age, she is still a little immature and naïve, but her talent is not much inferior to Qinghe, just like the suspicious question he asked just now, the ordinary maid is afraid that she will be frightened and overwhelmed, and although Yu Yao is also flustered, she is still calm, knowing to defend herself and look for evidence in her favor.
The maids must be virgins when they enter the palace, and then they are assigned to various places, with different identities and statuses, but they are not ordinary people who can move lightly, and Yu Yao, as Yang Yan's maid, naturally should not be touched, then she should keep her virgin body, and the body examination is the best way to wash away suspicions, Yu Yao can grasp this, which shows her wisdom.
There is another point, Qinghe is not as good as her, that is, her brave and strong side, daring to block the way of the fifth prince, and sternly refusing his request, which Qinghe can't match, maybe she will refuse, but it is by no means such a tough attitude as Yuyao.
Of course, it can also be said that Qinghe is more sleek than Yu Yao, knows how to be flexible, and is also a quality that a consul should have, but obviously, Yu Yao's strength is more in line with Yang Yan's appetite.
"From now on, appoint Yu Yao as the new consul maid, Qinghe as the vice consul, assist the consul to take care of the affairs of the Taihe Palace, in addition, the new consul has the right to supervise the actions of the guards, if there is anything wrong, depending on whether the situation is serious or not, you can report it to the prince. Yang Yan lightly announced the appointment.
Yu Yao took the throne, and everyone had already guessed when Qing He took the initiative to give way, and the new post of vice consul was added, so that Qing He could also understand Yu Yao, but to supervise the actions of the guards, and they could also routinely report it, but Yang Yan gave Yu Yao great privileges, which means that the guards should also be controlled by her to a certain extent, such power, Qing He absolutely did not have such power.
Therefore, after the appointment was announced, everyone was a little shocked, and Yu Yao felt a little dizzy in her head, from an ordinary maid to a maid consul with great privileges, it was like a dream.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qinghe's voice pulled Yu Yao's thoughts back, looking at her sincere smile, Yu Yao didn't know what it was like, but Yang Yan had already ordered, and it was useless to say more, so she could only follow Xie En: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Then, she turned to Qinghe again: "Thank you, Sister Qinghe!"
Suddenly, Qinghe smiled softly, Yu Yao's position was bigger than her, but she still called her sister, and she really didn't see the wrong person.
The rest of the people also came back to their senses at this time, looking at the weak shadow, with envy, emotion, and a kind of respect, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Consul Yuyao!"
The voice of congratulations was quite loud, Yu Yao was in it, with great glory added to her body, the only fly in the ointment was that her beautiful face was covered with bruises at this time, otherwise it would be even more dazzling.
Birou and the others looked at her gaze, full of relief, is this the little girl they protected desperately at the beginning, and now she is their consul, and a sense of pride rose in their hearts.
Yang Yan waved his hand to stop everyone's calls, then took out a milky white jade bottle, asked people to take it to Yu Yao, and said lightly: "This is a pill Yiyan Dan, take it, within two days, the wounds on your face will heal, no scars will be left, and your appearance will return to the same as before." ”
"Your Highness Xie!" Yu Yao said a little excitedly, how can a woman not love beauty, she originally thought that her appearance would never go back, but she didn't expect that there was still a chance to recover, so how could she not be excited.
After the excitement, she seemed to think of something, and asked with some hesitation: "Your Highness, can this Yiyan Dannu maid be given to other sisters?"
