Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 25: 3rd Grade Palace Maid
In the previous life, Rong Pei vowed to follow Ruyi until death, and Ruyi remembered this love.
This time, Ruyi arranged Rong Pei to be by her side early, which not only made her feel at ease, but also saved Rong Pei from suffering. It was like the master-servant relationship between them in their previous lives.
Qin Li was a little upset when he saw Ruyi so casually choose a plain-looking maid. But he didn't dare to show it, and continued to smile flatteringly with his chrysanthemum face tilted up.
"Empress Xian, these are carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from various places.
Don’t underestimate them, they are all little girls of thirteen or fourteen years old. Some of them can take care of flowers and plants, and some can knit. They just entertain the Empress Xian in her spare time.”
Ruyi just raised her eyes and glanced around, and at a glance she saw Wei Yanwan, who was standing in the most conspicuous position in the middle, full of vigor and ambition.
She wore a shiny silver ornament on her head with a red string tied around it. It was obvious that she had done her makeup carefully and looked very energetic.
On the left and right of Wei Yanwan stood two little girls of the same age as her, Chunchan and Lancui.
Unlike Wei Yanwan's elaborate makeup, Chunchan and Lancui were dressed in a very conventional and low-key manner, like ordinary people who could hardly be found in a crowd.
Wei Yanwan was still young at this time, but she was already a beauty. With such a beautiful face, it was no wonder that she wanted to climb up the social ladder.
Just being ambitious isn't a bad thing.
But if one uses any means necessary to frame others for one's own selfish desires, and even abandons those close to him or her, then that is shameful.
Ruyi blew gently on the tea leaves floating in the cup and said lightly, "I have just received two green plum trees from the emperor, which are extremely precious.
Sanbao, go pick out a few people who are skillful, and pick out someone who can take care of flowers and plants, and you can take care of the rest yourself."
Sanbao agreed. According to Ruyi's previous instructions, he quickly raised his hand and selected a few and brought them to Ruyi.
When Wei Yanwan saw that she was not selected, she couldn't hide the anxiety on her face.
San Bao said to the selected girls, "You guys, introduce yourselves to Empress Xian one by one."
"My servant Chunchan is thirteen years old and used to work in the Sizhiku."
"My servant Lan Cui is thirteen years old. I used to work in the Sizhiku with Chunchan."
"I am Huaping, fourteen years old, and I used to work in the flower room."
"My servant Xiaoyu is thirteen years old and used to work in the imperial kitchen."
"Xiao Yu?" Ruyi said without even looking at her, "This is not a good name.
The red candlelight in autumn shines coldly on the painting screen, and the light silk fan flutters the fireflies. You should follow the painting screen and change your name to Firefly.
"Yes." Liuying answered obediently, without a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Qin Li saw that Ruyi stopped talking, thinking that she had chosen these few people, and hurriedly took the remaining palace maids to leave.
Sanbao went out to see Qin Li off.
After Qin Li walked away, Sanbao was about to turn around and return to the palace when he suddenly heard a little palace maid behind him timidly calling "Eunuch Sanbao".
Wei Yanwan was really unwilling to accept this. She didn't understand why Chunchan and Lancui, who were not as good-looking and good-looking as her, were chosen, but she was not?
Wei Yanwan wanted to try again.
She stuffed a thin silver bill into Sanbao's cuff and touched the back of Sanbao's hand lightly with her fingers as if inadvertently.
Sanbao didn't buy her tricks, and shook off Wei Yanwan's hand, scolding coldly, "Have some self-respect, can servants like you and me influence the decision of Empress Xian?
You are a maid in Sizhiku, right? I am in a good mood today, so I will give you some advice. Anyone can do the odd jobs in Sizhiku, and such a maid will have no future in any palace.
But the green plums were precious, and only Empress Xian had two pots in the whole palace. Empress Xian and the Emperor had a deep affection for each other, and even the flowers had to be taken care of by a special person.
I advise you, instead of pursuing these useless things, why not think about what your value is? What can you do for the Yanxi Palace and for Empress Xian? That’s all I have to say, you should do what you want. "
After saying that, Sanbao left in a huff, leaving Wei Yanwan standing there, blushing at what Sanbao said, and lost in thought.
After returning to the Yanxi Palace, Sanbao stood beside Ruyi and whispered, "My dear, I have passed on the message."
Ruyi nodded in satisfaction and continued to drink her tea. Ruyi deliberately asked Sanbao to tell Wei Yanwan what she had just said.
In her previous life, Ruyi had some sympathy for Wei Yanwan in the early days.
A palace maid, whose family members are of no help, is repeatedly bullied in the palace because of her similar appearance to Ruyi. In the end, she has no other choice but to climb onto the dragon bed to change her fate.
This time, Ruyi gave Wei Yanwan some advice. She also wanted to see if, after her rebirth, Ruyi could change the fate of others while changing her own fate.
Ruyi laughed at herself. She thought that maybe it was because she was pregnant that she was a little soft-hearted.
The five selected palace maids had already changed into the uniform third-class palace maid uniforms and were standing in a row in the corridor, listening to Suo Xin's lecture.
惢心 cleared her throat, her tender and round face was tense, and she already had the demeanor of a head maid.
"You are all newly assigned maids by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve our Empress Xian. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already investigated all your details.
Empress Xian is kind and blessed, and she is pregnant with a prince. When you do things on a daily basis, it is important to be careful, and loyalty is even more important.
If I find anyone harboring evil intentions and betraying gratitude, if he has family members, his entire clan will be implicated; if he has no family members, he will go to the Ministry of Punishment and receive seventy-two punishments himself.
However, you don't have to be afraid. Empress Xian has a very good temper and never treats her servants harshly.
We are fair in our work, and we clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. If you work effectively, you will also get some benefits. Have you remembered all this?"
The five people below saluted in unison and replied, "Remember. We will work hard and have no second thoughts!"
惢心 nodded, assigned tasks to everyone, and then returned to the palace to report to Ruyi one by one.
Ruyi was in the house, embroidering Buddhist scriptures lazily, stitch by stitch.
Suo Xin brought a plate of snacks. "Master, you finally have a better appetite, have some snacks to fill your stomach."
Ruyi picked up a piece and just as she put it to her mouth, she felt sick and quickly threw it away. "惢心, what is this?"
惢心 took a handkerchief and helped Ruyi wipe the residue off her clothes. She replied, "This is fish paste flower cake. Didn't the master always praise this dessert for being soft, delicious, light and sweet?"
When it comes to fish, Ruyi suddenly thinks of Bai Ruiji.
In the previous life, the emperor’s first child after he ascended the throne was actually pregnant with Bai Ruiji.
But because of Jin Yuyan's conspiracy, Bai Ruiji ate too much fish and shrimp containing cinnabar, gave birth to a monster, and was executed by the emperor's order.
The lesson from the past is still fresh in her mind. Ruyi is now extremely sensitive to fish and shrimp.
