Old guy! At this time, Li Zhaoyi will be called to serve in the bed.

Concubine Xue Gui was very irritable and walked around in the bedroom.

The old guy in her mouth naturally refers to the emperor, Kaiyao Emperor.

The confidant whispered to persuade, Niangniang, be quiet, be careful that the walls have ears.

Concubine Xue Gui's face froze, Who dares to spread the words of this palace, and this palace will punish her nine clans.

After she finished speaking, she walked irritably in the bedroom again, looking very irritable.

Bengong presented two beauties to the old man, but after they stayed in bed for one night, there was nothing to follow. On the contrary, it was Li Zhaoyi, who was pregnant, and the old man did not forget her. He sent people to care about her every three days. Send it over like a gift. The beauty presented by this palace is worse than Li Zhaoyi?

The confidant pondered for a while and said, My servant heard that Li Zhaoyi is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and likes to read. Could it be because of this reason that His Majesty treats her differently.

Moreover, Li Zhaoyi was pregnant again, and both inside and outside the palace said that this child must be a prince. His Majesty is old enough to have a son, so naturally he loves Wu and Wu, and he spoils Li Zhaoyi very much.

Concubine Xue Gui frowned, I only stayed in bed for one night, how can I tell if there is any ink?

The confidant said, Perhaps it was His Majesty's question-and-answer process that exposed the inkless nature and was rejected by His Majesty.

Xue Guifei thought for a while, According to what you said, this palace has to prepare a talented and learned beauty to dedicate to your majesty. At this time, where do you ask this palace to find a beauty who has read books and can play chess, calligraphy and painting? Is it really necessary? Did Ben Gong choose someone from the Xue family?

The confidant whispered: Niang Niang, there is a ready-made candidate in Ganlu Palace. Although I don't know how to calligraphy, chess, and calligraphy, but holding a book and reading all day long, it is considered a rough understanding of writing and ink, and there is a little ink in my stomach. Besides, it looks stunning, and I will definitely be able to accept it. pet.

Oh? There are people like this around Ben Gong, why doesn't Ben Gong know?

The confidant said: Actually, she has already appeared in front of the empress. Among the five people selected by the empress, she is one of them.

Stop selling off, who is it?

The confidant said hurriedly, Jiang Yan! I first entered the palace as an official at the Clothes Bureau, and later became a maid in the Ganlu Palace. She is honest, likes to read, has a good understanding of literature and ink, and knows the truth.

Oh? Go and call Jiang Yan. Ben Gong will personally investigate whether she is as good as you said.

The slaves obey.

...

soon,

Jiang Yan was taught to the bedroom.

She was uneasy, not knowing why Concubine Xue Gui asked her to come here at this time.

Concubine Xue Gui was lying on the Luohan couch, Are you Jiang Yan?

Reporting to the maiden, the slave is Jiang Yan.

Bengong heard that you like to read, and you are just beginning to understand literature and ink, but is it true?

The slaves only know a few words.

Concubine Xue Gui smiled, Are you good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

Jiang Yan shook her head slightly, I only know how to write, and I have no chance to learn anything else.

Write a few words and see.

The palace servants prepared the four treasures of the study and placed them on the table.

Jiang Yan stepped forward, pondered it for a while, and wrote down the six characters Congratulations to the Empress and Holy Peace.

In the past two years, she has not forgotten Gu Jiu's teaching, she will read and write when she has time. If you don't have ink, practice with water.

Six words, quite neat. After all, the time to learn to write is not long, and it is not very good-looking. But it also dumped 90% of the palace maids and ten streets.

The little Huangmen in the palace had the opportunity to read and write in the inner study, and cultivated it from an early age.

If you are lucky, you can go to the emperor to serve closely, be a regular attendant, an internal attendant, or even a junior prisoner.

Like Fang Shaojian and Chen Jianzheng, they just climbed up from the inner study step by step.

But palace maids have no chance to read and write, especially palace maids from poor families.

The female officials in the palace do not belong to the category of palace maids. Most of them are the daughters of officials. They enter the palace with a layer of gold plating, and they will marry in the future. They have to be different.

Jiang Yan is a real person. She climbed up step by step from the lowest palace maid. She can read and write, and she can write, and her writing is neat, which is really rare.

With a charming cheek, Concubine Xue nodded with satisfaction.

However, this palace maid named Jiang Yan was indeed stronger than the others.

Concubine Xue asked again, What books have you read?

Jiang Yan suppressed the fear in her heart and reported a dozen book titles.

what!

Concubine Xue Gui was surprised, Have you read the Four Books and Five Classics?

Jiang Yan nodded, I can recite a few articles.

Then come back and listen.

Jiang Yan chose the one she was most familiar with, her voice was clear, and she recited it word by word.

When Xue Guifei heard half of it, she completely recognized Jiang Yan.

She raised her hand and Jiang Yan stopped reciting.

Concubine Xue Gui stared at her and said, Read more books and practice calligraphy when you have time. I will arrange for you to serve Your Majesty tomorrow.

Jiang Yan's face turned pale.

Concubine Xue suddenly narrowed her eyes, Why, you don't want to?

Slave, yes! Jiang Yan said with difficulty.

Concubine Xue smiled, Okay, let's go. I hope you won't disappoint Ben Gong.

Jiang Yan bowed and stepped back, feeling very flustered in her heart.

She wanted to find a chance to see Zhou Miao, but Concubine Xue sent someone to watch her, and she had no chance to go out at all.

In just a few days, it was time to go to bed.

Jiang Yan was scrubbed clean, put on a light gauze, and was sent to Xingqing Palace.

...

After that night, Jiang Yan was named Baolin.

The emperor called her to sleep for three consecutive days, and after three days, she was named Jieyu.

Concubine Xue Gui was very satisfied with this, and specially asked someone to clean up a side hall in Ganlu Palace and give it to Jiang Yan to live in. The palace servant Xiao Huangmen was also arranged to serve.

At the same time, the reward of the emperor Liushui was sent to the side hall.

She has become a newcomer in the limelight of the harem.

Since Jiang Yan, the emperor no longer summoned Li Zhaoyi to accompany him to speak. Euphemistically called it, I was afraid that Li Zhaoyi would be tired. He also specially sent someone to tell Li Zhaoyi to have a good baby.

When he was free, the emperor called Jiang Yan to accompany him.

Jiang Yan read books for the emperor and served the pen and ink. Sometimes I have to play the role of a student, listening to the emperor explaining historical allusions and celebrities.

Jiang Yan listened very carefully, and would also take care of Jiu's point of view.

I thought to myself, Gu Jiu's point of view is really close enough to the emperor's point of view. It's all stark reality.

At the beginning, when Jiang Nan served in front of Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu praised her for being smart, diligent, and willing to work hard. The teacher's favorite student.

Now that Jiang Yan has become a 'student' of the emperor, he is more and more diligent in his studies, and the emperor is very satisfied.

This is stronger than Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is very talented. However, they do not like historical allusions, nor do they want to study hard. She prefers to spend her time on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, rather than reading and literacy.

Jiang Yan let the emperor find a long-lost feeling of being a teacher, and the whole person looked two years younger.

Because of this, his love for Jiang Yan has increased by two points.

A month later, Jiang Yanjin was named Shuyi again.

In just over a month, Jiang Yan's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, from a penniless maid to Jiang Shuyi.

At the beginning, her goal of climbing the high branch seemed to have finally come true.

After being named Shuyi by Jin, Jiang Yan also had a bit of authority in her hands.

The purpose of Concubine Xue's use of her was to suppress Li Zhaoyi.

Jiang Yan completed the task very well, so Concubine Xue would not interfere much with her usual actions.

When Jiang Yan gained power, the first thing he did was to summon Zhou Miao.

Zhou Miao was serving in the Shangshan Supervisor, and Bai Shangshan Supervisor was the godfather. That's why he had a way to arrange Jiang Yan from the Huanyi Bureau to the Ganlu Palace as an errand.

Zhou Miao came to a side hall of Ganlu Palace.

Please give Jiang Shuyi peace.

No gift, get up and talk.

Miss Xie Shuyi.

Zhou Miao got up and blinked at Jiang Yan secretly.

Jiang Yan made an excuse to send out all the maids who were serving by her side.

Then Zhou Miao said with a smile: Congratulations, in just one month, you have achieved the position of Shuyi from an unnamed palace maid. It is not impossible to become a concubine in the future and be the head of a palace.

Don't laugh at me. Jiang Yan beckoned Zhou Miao to speak.

Li Zhaoyi now sees me as a thorn in her eyes and a thorn in her flesh. I'm afraid she's about to stop herself. Please help me, what should I do?

Zhou Miao clenched her neck, She is Zhaoyi, you are Shuyi, you are of the same grade, both are third-grade. What are you afraid of her doing?

She is pregnant with a dragon seed, and she has her mother's family as her backer. Can I not be afraid? I don't have her mother's family as a backer.

Zhou Miao asked, What about your maiden family? You didn't ask His Majesty to reward your maiden family?

I have lost contact with my family for several years. I don't know if they are alive or dead. Even if I want to award a reward, I have to find my family first.

Zhou Miao frowned, It's difficult for you to solve this problem. If you don't go to Concubine Xue, she holds you up with one hand, and she will definitely be reluctant to lose you. If you tell her the truth, she will definitely have a way to deal with Li Zhaoyi.

Jiang Yan snorted and exhaled from her nostrils.

If the noble concubine really has a way to deal with Li Zhaoyi, she doesn't need to hold me up and fight against Li Zhaoyi.

Zhou Miao stared at Jiang Yan and asked quietly, Are you second-minded? Don't you want to be at the mercy of Concubine Xue?

Jiang Yan also lowered her voice, Who wants to be at the mercy of others for the rest of their lives. I can't do anything right now, I have to rely on the imperial concubine. Later, when I am full of wings, I will definitely distance myself from her.

Zhou Miao laughed, I knew you were a wicked person and didn't miss the old feelings.

Fuck! Ben Gong also misses old love, but it depends on what kind of old love.

Zhou Miao smiled and said, It doesn't matter, anyway, I appreciate your ruthless and ruthless temper.

In fact, this palace is the same as the outside. If you have money, you can eat all over the world, but you can't walk without money.

If you want to protect yourself and have someone in your hands, you must have money.

You and Li Zhaoyi are equally favored. What she relies on to deal with you is not relying on people.

If someone has money, she can frame you in a few rounds, and then let someone slander and slander you in front of His Majesty, and you can be put into the cold palace.

After all, Li Zhaoyi wants money, money and people, and it has become a momentum. Although your positions are the same, in terms of power, you are not even as good as her pinky finger.

You talk so much, what do you want to say?

Zhou Miao said: If you want to protect yourself and form your own network of influence, you must first have money.

Jiang Yan frowned, I have no money. Your Majesty has rewarded me with a lot of good things, but these good things cannot be sold outside the palace for money.

Zhou Miao said: So you have to have a maiden's family, and let your maiden family take advantage of your power to hold money for you.

Jiang Yan said with a stern face, Even if I find my maiden's family, I won't be able to get the money for a while. If I don't get calculated and drag me down, I should be thankful.

Jiang Yan was very contemptuous of her own family, just because she knew too well who her family was.

With her power, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. 100% want her to pay for their livelihood. I don't know how many years it will take to get money from my family.

It is also for this reason that she is not in a hurry to send someone to find her family.

Zhou Miao spread her hands, If you don't have money, then it's really hard to do anything. If you don't have money, you can only reward people with small items or jewelry that His Majesty gave you. It's more convenient than real money. .

After all, it was a gift from the royal family, and Jiang Yan couldn't make it a taboo to reward the royal gift to the palace servants.

Jiang Yan bit her lip and looked embarrassed.

Zhou Miao gave her an idea, Didn't you have a relationship with Mrs. Zhao of Ning's mansion? You asked her for money.

Jiang Yan was stunned, Looking for a girl for money?

Don't call it a girl, now you have to call Mrs. Zhao.

Jiang Yan frowned, with a tangled expression on his face.

Mrs. Zhao is the daughter-in-law of King Ning, and King Ning is the son of the concubine Shu. I was held up by the concubine, which means that I will not deal with the concubine Shu. How can I ask Mrs. Zhao for money. If the concubine knew I have contacts with Mrs. Zhao, and I don't know how much right and wrong will be born. Don't hurt me.

Zhou Miao said: You don't need to find Mrs. Zhao in person. I have the opportunity to leave the palace every month. You write a letter and I will pass it on to Mrs. Zhao for you.

Jiang Yan was dubious, Mrs. Zhao will really give me money?

Zhou Miao smiled mysteriously, It depends on your position.

Jiang Yan's face was solemn.

She was the one who was held up by Concubine Xue, and she should have stood on Concubine Xue and King Zhao's side.

What position should she take to ask Mrs. Zhao for money?

Is she going to say spy?

Jiang Yan was tangled and difficult to decide.

Zhou Miao reminded her, Li Zhaoyi is young and impatient. She will do something to you sooner or later. You have to make a decision sooner. The sooner you will have a better chance of winning.

Jiang Yan frowned, Let me think about it again. Mrs. Zhao may not be rich.

That depends on whether Madam Zhao gives you the money in her own name or in the name of Prince Ning's mansion.

What's the difference.

The difference is huge. If Mrs. Zhao gives you money in her own name, it means that she is still thinking about her old relationship, and does not draw a line because of your current status. Furthermore, she is planning for herself, not for the palace. Plan. If the money is sent to you in the name of the palace, then you have to be careful. Be careful that King Ning uses you as a spy.

Jiang Yan thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind to send a letter to Gu Jiu and ask Zhou Miao to take him out of the palace.

She told Zhou Miao, Be sure to ask Mrs. Zhao's thoughts for me. If the money is given to me in the name of the palace, then I cannot accept the money.

Zhou Miao nodded, You can rest assured that I will do things. You definitely can't sell your life to Ning Wangfu.

Zhou Miao left the Ganlu Palace with the letter in her arms.

Jiang Yan's body softened and she fell on the chair, her back already soaked in sweat.

She made this important decision in a short time, and she was so nervous that she had stomach cramps and felt uncomfortable.

It took a long time to recover.

After the rest day, Liu Zhao returned to the palace.

Gu Jiu sat at the desk to settle accounts, and he held a book and sat beside the bed to read it quietly.

A cool autumn wind blew in, facing the desk.

Liu Zhao closed the window a little.

Neither of them spoke, but they had a tacit understanding.

In the small study, there is an atmosphere called sweetness.

Gu Jiu finished the calculation and threw the abacus aside. She is also satisfied with last month's earnings.

Pearl flowers, pharmacies, dowry shops, Zhuangzi's income is not bad. Although there is not much money to be made, it is in a state of profit, no loss.

Zhenbaozhai opened at the end of last month and got off to a good start.

Recently, the daily turnover has been several thousand taels, which is very gratifying.

Sure enough, there is still money to be made in the luxury profiteering industry.

Compared with the luxury and profiteering industries, the profits of cloth houses, sauce and vinegar tea, pearl flowers, and pharmacies are simply weak.

She took a pen and wrote down the work schedule for the next month, ready to let Bai Zhong take it out and hand it over to the shopkeeper of each shop.

By the time she was done, the sun had shifted a bit.

The maid brought a cup of tea, Madam, take a break.

Gu Jiu picked up the teacup, the temperature of the tea was just right, and let out a very comfortable sigh, it was really comfortable.

Liu Zhao closed the book, Do you remember the maid you sent to the palace?

Gu Jiu was stunned for a while, then sat up.

Jiang Yan was detained in just over a month, she had already heard about the miraculous experience of Empress Shuyi from being penniless.

She waved her hand and told all the maids to retreat.

Naturally remember. Now I have to call her Jiang Shuyi.

Liu Zhao's face was cold and cold, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.

Just listen to him ask: Did she contact you?
