An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong arranged for Lingrou to study hard with Boss Qin, so he rented two exquisite suites at the Zuixianlou Inn opposite, and waited for Aunt Fangruo to come to teach etiquette.

An Lingrong repaid Aunt Xiao's 50 taels of silver, and she gave Aunt Xiao 100 taels to take back to her mother. After entering the palace, it would be difficult to return to An's house. We don't know when we will see each other again, so these 100 taels are considered Dutiful son money.

An Lingrong gave some silver to Lingrou, paid ten days' rent for Zuixian Tower, and gave tips to Aunt Fangruo. Not only did she learn etiquette, but she also learned many unknown things in the palace.

The rest of the time is just waiting to enter the palace.

Time flew by, the palace sent the father-in-law over, and the imperial edict arrived.

“On September 15th, the General Manager of the Internal Affairs Office copied out the document from the Jingshi Room and declared:

An Lingrong, seventeen years old, was the daughter of Songyang County Prime Minister An Bihuai. She was named the Seventh Rank Selected Attendant.

Entering the palace today. Admire this! "

On the same day of the same year, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang also entered the palace according to the order.

Shen Meizhuang is the daughter of Shen Zishan, the governor of Jezhou. Shen Zishan's official position is higher than Zhen Yuandao. Shenmeizhuang was granted the title of "Hui Guiren" of the sixth rank by the emperor, and Zhen Huan was granted the title of "Wan Changzai" of the seventh rank by the emperor.

Among the beautiful ladies who entered the palace this time, there were three nobles. One is the Fucha nobleman from the Manchu Army Banner, the other is the Borzijit nobleman from the Mongolian Army Banner, and the other is Shenmeizhuang.

The noble Fucha, together with An Lingrong and Xia Ruchun, were assigned to live in Yanxi Palace, Shenmeizhuang was assigned to Xianfu Palace, and Zhen Huan was assigned to the remote Suiyuxuan, which was an abandoned theater. I heard that the queen originally wanted to live there. She arranged to live close to the emperor. Concubine Hua became angry and pointed out the most desolate residence in the palace to her.

An Lingrong personally moved the luggage into the palace. Fortunately, Qin Sanyue was thin and strong, and he could also bear hardships and stand hard work as an accountant. He straightened his waist and lifted a wooden box that was half a person high. She didn't even blink. In the next moment, An Lingrong's luggage was moved into Yanxi Palace.

The noble Fucha was one level higher, and she lived in the main hall. Xia Ruchun was always there, one level higher than An Lingrong, but like An Lingrong, she also lived in the side hall. Xia Ruchun asked her maids Dongcong and Chuncao to help An Lingrong. After the luggage was moved into the palace, the treasure cuckoo and small stool given to An Lingrong by the emperor also arrived, and several people were cleaning and dusting the yard.

(Note: This Xia Ruchun is not Xia Dongchun, there is another person. She is Xia Ruchun, the daughter of the prefect of Jiaxing)

Somehow, the two palace maids in the courtyard got into a fight.

"It's your job to clean the land here."

The person who spoke was a palace maid with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Lan Xin, the maid of the noble Fu Cha.

"What are you talking about? The whole yard is divided into three. Shouldn't everyone clean it equally?" The indignant question was Xia Ruchun's maid Dong Cong.

The long brooms in the hands of the two people were crossed in front of each other, neither of them willing to back down.

An Lingrong did not express his position, while Baojuan and Xiaostool continued to clean the ground in front of their house.

When had Xia Ruchun ever been so angry? I saw her rushing forward angrily! He pulled out his own winter bush and said in a stern voice: "You think you are a servant of a rich man, so you can be arrogant and bully others?"

Lan Xin's face turned red. When Xia Ruchun was bluffed, she threw away the broom in her hand as if she was angry and saluted Xia Ruchun.

"Xia Chang is in Anhao. My slave thinks that three masters live in the same palace. My master often teaches us to live in harmony with everyone. But look at Sister Dongcong. Even if she cleans the floor in front of her door, the garbage will still be thrown at us. Sweeping this way, the slave said, why do you keep sweeping more and more garbage?"

Xia Ruchun turned around and said, "Dong Cong, did you sweep that garbage away?"

But she had no idea that at this moment, the noble Fucha was standing quietly at the entrance of the palace, staring at them without saying a word, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be in an extremely unhappy mood.

Dongcong said confidently: "Go back to the little master, I don't have a slave, she is talking nonsense."

An Lingrong was about to go up to smooth things over when he saw Qin Sanyue carrying a trash can, went up to it a few times, swept the trash clean, and went to clean the windows non-stop.

The noble Fucha couldn't help but ask An Lingrong: "An Changzai, what is the name of your little palace maid? She is very smart."

An Lingrong said: "They are my distant relatives, called March. Let us March and Baojuan clean the rest of the land. We are the last to enter the palace. It happens that the things in the palace have not been packed yet, so we can stop by." Let’s clean it up together.”

The noble Fucha glanced at Xia Ruchun coldly before entering the house. Lan Xin also put away the broom, snorted coldly as she passed by Dong Cong, and smiled at An Lingrong before entering the house.

Xia Ruchun glared at Dong Cong: "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go back to the palace quickly? Don't worry so much about your work in the future. We are all from the same palace."

Dong Cong's aggrieved eyes turned red: "The young masters of other families protect their own slaves. How can the young masters help other families?"

An Lingrong comforted her in a low voice: "We are all from the same palace. Don't worry, if something happens to you, Master Xia will definitely protect you. Sister Fucha is a noble person, and Sister Xia is always here. Even if I see you When you meet Sister Xia, you must be courteous when meeting Sister Fucha. From now on, our March and Baojuan will sweep the palace grounds."

Dongcong nodded with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Master An. I understand, it's your fault. Yun Xin relied on her master to be a noble person and said something wrong about my master behind his back. I feel uncomfortable listening to it."

An Lingrong: "Go back to the palace and rest quickly. It's been a tiring day."

Dong Cong: "Thank you, Mr. An."

An Lingrong returned to the palace, gathered the maids and eunuchs in his palace, and taught them strictly.

She said: "What happened just now seems to be a quarrel between the two families over trivial matters. What they are fighting for is status. In Yanxi Palace, I am just a seventh-grade maid. Girls also have the lowest status in the middle school. If you have a low status, you should talk less, do more, and try to avoid trouble as much as possible. March did a good job today."

She also explained in detail the rank of the concubine in the palace, which should not be exceeded, and the word "concubine" should not be mentioned in the palace. This is taboo.

An Lingrong quoted Aunt Fangruo's original words: "There are only three masters in the palace: the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother. You can only call them the little masters. You cannot go wrong with the rules of concubine and concubine. The queen is a concubine, just like Concubine Hua, no matter how favored she is, she can only be called Little Master Hua, but we must respectfully call her Concubine Hua. In the palace from now on, we must remember not to call her by random names to avoid causing trouble."

The highest level: none other than the queen; followed by the concubines of the first rank, including noble concubine, Shu concubine, Xian concubine, and De concubine; then the wives of the first rank; the concubines of the second rank; the second rank: Zhaoyi, Zhaoyuan, and Zhao Rong, Shuyi, Shuyuan, Shurong, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Xiurong; the third rank of the first rank: Guibi; the third rank of the secondary rank: Jieyu; the fourth rank of the right rank: Ronghua; the fourth rank of the second rank: Wanyi, Fangyi, Fenyi , Deyi, Shunyi; the fifth rank: concubine; the fifth rank: Xiaoyi, Xiaoyuan, Liangyuan, Liangdi; the sixth rank: noble person; the sixth rank: talented person, beauty; the seventh rank: Changzai, wife ; From the seventh rank: choose an attendant; from the eighth rank: to pick a girl; from the eighth rank: to change clothes.

An Lingrong said: "I am with you all. As long as I have something to eat, I guarantee that none of you will starve. The premise is that we are in the same boat. We must work together so that these harems can protect themselves." "
