imprinted you in my heart

The bustling capital at night is far less lively than during the day, but the lights dotting the night sky scattered everywhere are silent and prosperous, which makes people imagine.

Not far from the Hongde Hall of Fengde Palace, Bu Qianxue, who was walking behind Lu Guanchu, said to herself, "How do you feel that Your Majesty is acting weird today..." and didn't even bother to look at the palace. night view.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. After all, today is the first time she enters the palace at night, and it is also the first time she lives in the palace. Although she is an internal official, she still lives in the palace. She should be full of curiosity and excitement. is.

In fact, when she first entered the inner palace, she was really curious and excited, especially every time she thought that she would live in the palace at night, she was inexplicably happy. After all, when she decided to run for the election, she was afraid Thinking about it, I was even ready to be arranged by my mother after losing the election.

But sometimes in life, the plan can't keep up with the changes, the more you think about something, the more you can't get it. When you are really ready to give up, it suddenly turns around, just like her now.

Not only is she curious about the palace, but she is also curious about everything Shi Min likes and everything she has experienced, but she does not dare to blatantly look around like a countryman. Her etiquette prevented her from doing such a thing, and the rules of the inner courtyard of the palace did not allow her to do so.

She used to enter the palace during the daytime, and it was always a matter of business. Entering the palace leisurely like today, she has no business troubles and no need to worry about being harshly picked by her colleagues in words and deeds. Coupled with the cover of night, the place she walked I've read them all, most of them with my head tilted.

Although the palace is brightly lit at night, its majestic majesty and majesty are far less awe-inspiring than in the daytime. Under the orange candlelight, it feels warm, and with the slightly blurred surrounding scenery, it is quite unique. landscape.

When I came here before, although I wanted to see Shi Min as soon as possible, but my heart was more occupied by curiosity and excitement about the palace.What makes her more curious now is Shi Min's abnormality, so she naturally doesn't care so much about the surrounding scenery.

"What did you say?" Lu Guanchu could hear Bu Qianxue's voice but couldn't make out, thinking she was talking to him.

"Lord Lu is as tired as I am. If it's a long distance, just ask a palace attendant you know to lead the way, and you'd better rest early." Bu Qianxue said adaptably after hearing the words, as if she was what she just said.

Lu Guanchu, who had already received His Majesty's approval for a day's leave, was already returning home. It was rare for Bu Qianxue to be so considerate, and seeing that she would be there soon, she immediately agreed happily, called the following palace attendants to explain a few words, and then left left.

As soon as Lu Guanchu left, she felt a lot more relaxed, and the palace servants who followed her became more natural. It wasn't that Lu Guanchu was fierce, nor was she afraid of her, but that she was the person next to His Majesty, and she was also the chief executive. , if you leave a bad impression, it will be difficult to promote, so be more cautious.

Crossed the flower bed and walked through the corridor, but did not exit Fengde Gate, the palace attendant who led the way pushed open a door and ran in to light the candles, then came out again and respectfully saluted Bu Qianxue: "My lord, please come in, please be patient. Take a rest, wash water will arrive later, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Bu Qianxue came here as an internal official, and her real identity should not be revealed, so Lu Guanchu followed Shi Min's arrangement and said that Bu Qianxue was an internal official of the Royal Garden Villa. Come back, but sooner or later you have to go back.

"Well, let's go down." The washing has been arranged, and she hasn't thought of anything else for the time being, and the other party may have other things to do, so she didn't arrange anything else.

After the palace attendant who led the way left, Bu Qianxue closed the door, and then began to look carefully at the room by the light of the candles on the middle table. A bed about 1.2 meters in height had been made, the bedding was clean, and there was a smell of soap locust after washing , presumably it was just laid, and the salute she brought was placed on the quilt intact.

Not far from the bed is a two-door wardrobe with a height of one person. Once opened, the inside is empty, very clean, and has been scented with light fragrance. The whole room is clean and tidy, whether it is in the wardrobe or placed under the window. The dresser drawers are clean, and there is no dust when you touch them with your hands.

There was a round table, four round stools, a teapot and four teacups in the middle. I touched it with my hand and found that the teapot was still warm. It happened that she was a little thirsty and drank three cups in one go.

An inconspicuous corner was separated by a cloth curtain, so she knew without guessing that it must be where the toilet was. How could there be a smell.

This is much better than the palace attendant's residence she imagined. She thought she would sleep in a Datong bunk, but she didn't expect to have such a clean and well-furnished room. She thought too much.

It wasn't until later that she realized that the truth was not what she thought. The palace servants indeed slept in the Datong bunk, but the internal officials slept in a room alone, but the rank, size and treatment were different.

After the reform of the palace servants in the palace, the phenomenon of overstaffing has been brought under control. However, the requirements for internal officials are strict, and the examination is difficult, resulting in some vacancies for internal officials, such as another position of deputy director of Fengde Palace. It is vacant, and Bu Qianxue lives in the residence of the vacant deputy chief executive, so the residence of the seventh-rank internal official is naturally not bad.

Fengde Palace is located on the central axis of the imperial palace, with Chengtian Palace directly in front and Anren Palace directly behind. The layout of the palace is similar to that of Changfu Palace, but it is larger and more elegant than Changfu Palace.

All the layouts named after the palace in the imperial palace are basically the same. It is a typical courtyard style. There are murals at the entrance, flower beds and flower gardens in the courtyard, the north room is the living room, and the west room is the cloakroom A, B and warehouse A and B. Bing Ding, such warehouses located in the residence are all personal private warehouses, which are usually managed by confidants and internal officials, such as the Chief Manager, Dian Manager, etc. Shi Min's has always been managed by Lu Guanchu for her.

The residence of the internal officials is in the east room close to the south room, where Lu Guanchu lived, and where Bu Qianxue lives today is the next door to her next door, separated by the residence of Yichun and another chief executive. The east house and the north house are all functional houses, such as duanmu room and duanjue room.

The south room is also called the upside-down room. The Fengde Gate is in the middle, and on both sides of the door are the residences of the palace servants. The coarse palace servants, general palace servants and senior palace servants live in Datong bunks of different specifications. Those who can live here are specific. The palace servants who are responsible for serving His Majesty and responsible for specific matters such as the hygiene of Fengde Palace are collectively referred to as personal palace servants and palace servants.

In addition, the internal officials and palace servants of the Sixth Bureau live in the residence of the Sixth Bureau’s palace servants specially designated nearby. The internal officials live in separate rooms corresponding to the size of their grades, and the rest of the palace servants are classified as coarse palace servants, general palace servants and senior palace servants. They live separately in Datong shops of different specifications. Datong shops are generally divided into ten people, six people and two people.

All affairs in the palace are managed by the Sixth Bureau. After the reform, Shi Min clarified the specific responsibilities and rights of the Sixth Bureau. The general tone is to let them check and balance each other and supervise each other. The management of the account does not touch the money, and the management of the money does not touch the account, and some reimbursement procedures have been added. Anyone who spends more than 100 taels of silver must be personally approved by the head of the harem (usually the queen or queen mother) to repay the account, and resolutely prevent the loss of palace money.

Instead of the original treasury appropriating the palace expenses once every six months to the Shangguan Bureau, the appropriation should be made every quarter, from the original semi-annual to quarterly, in order to reduce the amount of cash kept in the palace, and the cost will also be reduced from the original One-third of the money is a lot of money in one year.

In order to increase income and reduce expenditure as much as possible and prevent the people below from embezzlement of money, Shi Min took great pains. From the use of money to reimbursement to appropriation, he has made modifications on the original basis, which is more perfect and easier to form a virtuous circle. Some interested people can take advantage of this opportunity.

Finally, he didn't have to go to court or listen to politics. Shi Min was going to sleep in, but he was used to getting up early. The biological clock not only didn't sleep in, but also woke up very early, so he couldn't fall asleep. Even Bu Qianxue hadn't gotten up yet, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep last night, it was really useless to worry.

Thinking of being busy with government affairs and not doing much exercise recently, it was rare to get up early today without any urgent matters, so I went to the school grounds.

In fact, Shi Min was right to be worried, but Bu Qianxue didn't sleep well. She drank so much tea last night and packed up all the salutes she brought. Well, this will still be a dream.

After Shi Min arrived at the school grounds, he practiced the incense stick of swordsmanship, and then rode around the school grounds a few times. He was sweating and refreshed. Just as he was about to run another lap, he saw Yi Chun running towards him. He didn't continue to ride the horse forward.

Seeing that His Majesty deliberately stopped to wait for him, Yichun didn't dare to delay for a moment, and quickly ran to Qing Huan before slowing down and saluting: "Respectfully, Your Majesty Sheng'an, the governor of Xiagu Province and personally escorted Kang Guo's rebellious officials to ask for an audience outside Chengtian Gate." .

Hearing this, Shi Min frowned and said nothing, escorting the rebellious officials?Although Xiagu Province is close to Kang State, it is still separated from Shanggu Province after all, and the provincial head has no power to coordinate and command the army, and without her will, it is impossible to attack Kang State. Then this rebellious minister is probably not Fu Yao , let alone her dog-headed military advisor, Yun Chuan.

Although she decided not to send troops to Kang Guo to suppress the rebellion for the time being, it does not mean that she will let Kang Guo sit on the throne. In addition to Fengxuan Changle as King Kang to clearly express her attitude, she also imposed economic sanctions on Kang Guo and strictly prohibited any relationship with Kang Guo. Whether it is Huaguo or Huaguo's vassal state, it is not allowed to conduct trade, business is not allowed, and officials are not allowed. Comprehensive economic sanctions are imposed on Kangguo.

Trade is restricted, and entering the territory of China is naturally prohibited. Those who originally lived in the territory of China have to follow the procedures when they come in, and they are not allowed to return to the country of Kang after entering, so as not to prevent the common people from doing so. Smuggling.

"Wait outside the Xuan Wen Xuan Hall, and I will make arrangements immediately. I want to take a bath and change clothes." Shi Min said as he got off his horse, threw the reins to the palace attendant on one side, and took the sweat towel handed over by the other palace attendant while checking his sweat. go outside.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Yi Chun took the order to leave, coming and going quickly.

When he returned to Fengde Palace, Shi Min thought that Bu Qianxue had woken up, so he asked casually, "Where is Qianxue?".

The palace attendant who was on duty at the Hongde Palace for the first time replied nervously: "Your Excellency Qian has not risen yet." Although he has not been in the palace for a long time, it is the first time for an internal official like Qianxue. See, I haven't woken up so late, I really think I'm at home!

Not only was he dissatisfied with Qianxue, but the other palace servants more or less looked down on the internal officials from the Royal Garden Villa. It was difficult for the internal officials in the palace to be promoted to the fifth rank. Well, if you don't go often, you will basically be stereotyped.

I would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head. Although they are only small palace servants, they are also palace servants. If you don't get up, you don't like it, and you hate it even more, so there is no intention of covering up for Bu Qianxue in your words.

Shi Min didn't want to use mind reading skills on a palace attendant without any reason. He was too tired, and didn't think much about other than feeling his nervousness, "Let her wake up by herself, don't disturb her", After speaking, the person has already walked in.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Although he didn't know why His Majesty was so kind to this internal official, it didn't prevent him from smelling a different opportunity, and his previous dislike and dislike instantly became hot. ?
