Baochai is a mermaid

On the way, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly told Xue Bao'er that she had just received the news that Xue Bao'er had been selected for praise, and that Princess Anning sent someone to inform her secretly.

Compared with Wang Xiluan, who was eager to get rid of it, Jia Yuanchun's mind was much clearer.

Although Xue Bao'er is a merchant girl, it would be disgraceful to say it, but they are cousins ​​of the first cousin after all, and both are prosperous and the other is damaged.

And when she was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she could clearly see that Xue Baoer's sponsor had suddenly changed from the second aunt of the Wang family to Princess Dening.

Who doesn't know that the eldest princess Dening is the emperor's own sister, and she has the merits of being a dragon, so she is the most loved.If she climbed this big tree, she would not have to spend years in the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Jia Yuanchun had to face it with [-]% energy every day, for fear that she would make a slight mistake and disappoint the high expectations placed on her by the whole family.

Today, there was a lot of noise about the royal son of An Guo forcibly breaking into the palace gate, and Jia Yuanchun naturally heard about it. When he was out on business in the afternoon, he met someone sent by Princess An Ning, and specially asked her to pay attention to the movements at the palace school.

As dusk approached, something happened to Xue Baoer, and the problem was still very difficult.

Yang Shangyi of the Shangyi Bureau has always been known for being strict, and also suffers from cleanliness, and the most unsightly food is oily. He once beat the princess' hand for unclean dresses, and once scolded female officials.

I heard that cousin Xue's family has been weak since she was a child, and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it after a few boards.If she was kicked out of the palace because of this, she would lose her face and miss the chance to cling to Princess Dening.

The maid sent out hastily came to tell her that Jia Yuanchun took the female officer's uniform and went after her in a hurry.

The oil-stained water-colored silk dress is right, and the complete set of emerald bead flowers is also right. Such a luxury is not something ordinary women can afford.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Xue's cousin?

Recognizing Xue Baoer, she was not in a hurry to recognize her.Seeing Xue Bao'er holding the official uniform, Jia Yuanchun put his heart back into his stomach. Fortunately, he is a cautious and well-mannered man, and will not be easily coaxed.

It is really not easy for a little girl under ten years old to keep calm when she is wronged and suddenly see her relatives.

Jia Yuanchun himself was such a person, seeing Xue Baoer was like seeing himself when he just entered the palace, and he couldn't help feeling a little close to this cousin who suddenly appeared.

"Cousin, I want to ask you for a favor." Xue Bao'er's immature voice interrupted Jia Yuanchun's drifting thoughts.

Jia Yuanchun was startled, and Xue Baoer said again: "cousin, can you help me find out, which palace is the maid who bumped into me today?"

"Do you suspect that someone did it on purpose?" Jia Yuanchun heard the overtones.

Xue Bao'er was also not sure: "It's always good to be careful. I just entered the palace, I don't know the rules, and I'm afraid of offending others without knowing it."

Jia Yuanchun had already asked what she was asking, and he replied: "The maid who bumped into you is from Yichun Palace."

"Yichun Palace is the bedroom of Concubine Shu." Jia Yuanchun thought for a while, and then said, "Concubine Shu is Princess Jingxian's biological mother. I heard that Princess Jingxian is also studying in the palace school."

Thought it was in the Queen's Palace.

Did she think wrong?

After getting this answer, Xue Baoer told Jia Yuanchun about the quarrel with Xiao Shuer today, and Jia Yuanchun listened carefully and said: "I heard that when Princess Jingxian was born, it was just in time for the empress to have a miscarriage. Princess Jingxian was handed over to the queen to be raised. Princess Jingxian and Concubine Shu are not close, so today's incident should be a coincidence."

It seemed that she was thinking too much, and what happened again and again, almost drove her into persecution paranoia.

Walking to the entrance of Shangyi Bureau, Jia Yuanchun straightened Xue Baoer's collar, the smallest female official uniform was still too big for her.

When they parted, Jia Yuanchun stretched out his hand to remove the emerald beads on Xue Baoer's bun, and explained to her in a warm voice: "There are rules in the palace, female officials are not allowed to wear hairpins, you go to see Yang Shangyi with plain hair, maybe you can reduce the punishment."

In fact, Zan Shan is not a real female officer, and she has almost no requirements for what to wear, but Xue Baoer made mistakes first, and she can never make mistakes when she is strict with herself.

Knowing that she meant well, Xue Bao'er said yes, and the maid brought her in.

Zan Shan was missing one of them, so he had to send someone to find it, which made the Shang Yi Bureau, which was already understaffed, more and more stretched.

There are six bureaus in the harem, all of which serve the nobles, but the Shangyi bureau is always picking thorns and setting rules, which is not very pleasing at all.Coupled with the fact that Yang Shangyi has a dull personality and is not good at flattery and pursuit of business, she has been increasingly marginalized in recent years.

He has no chance to be rewarded, but if something goes wrong, he will be implicated, and no one wants to stay in Shangyi Bureau to do this thankless job.

The Bureau of Shangyi couldn’t keep people, and its establishment was shrinking year by year. Yang Shangyi had to teach the rules in person, directing the maids to demonstrate from time to time, and was distracted by thinking about the unlucky guy who fell behind halfway, hoping to find them sooner. Whatever happens.

At this time, someone announced: "Xue Zanshan is here."

Yang Shangyi frowned and looked towards the door, only to see a beautiful little girl who looked like a porcelain doll with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, letting the maid lead her in.

The little girl wore two simple buns on her head, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her long black hair. She didn't know whether she was scared or ran away. Her small face was pale, and there was fine sweat on her forehead.

Knowing how to remove the jewelry, she seemed to be a well-mannered person. Yang Shangyi's brows gradually relaxed, her gaze was still sharp and cold, and she asked in a deep voice, "Why are you late?"

In fact, Yang Shangyi already knew the reason, and just wanted to hear how she could excuse herself.

Xue Baoer had already thought about the reason, and told Jia Yuanchun on the way here, Jia Yuanchun helped her change it, and she said according to Jia Yuanchun's teaching: "The lower official has not held a position before, and he is not qualified to listen to Shangyi's teachings. , so I first went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take the post, and then came here after changing into official uniforms and badges."

Jia Yuanchun told her that in Yang Shangyi's eyes, the palace rules are bigger than the sky, and there will be no mistakes in doing things according to the palace rules.

No complaints, no complaints, and no mention of why I didn't take the job. I took the initiative to avoid many taboos, and I know how to be cautious at such a young age.

The most important thing is that none of her words or deeds violated the palace rules, and it is difficult to punish her.

Yang Shangyi subconsciously slowed down her voice, but the question was rather tricky: "So, are you right?"

Xue Bao'er bowed her hands and bowed her head to Yang Shangyi: "Your official made two mistakes. First, you should have gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take up the post. Second, you should tell the female officer in charge before you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Yang Shangyi is naturally aware of Taifu's teaching habits. Over the years, she has heard princesses complain that their ears are getting callused.At noon, when I heard that Princess An Ning was sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for questioning, she almost knelt down, and Zan Shan, who was beside her, was also almost punished with a cane.I'm afraid that if I don't have time for lunch, I have to go back to the palace school for class, and then I will be picked up by the people from Shangyi Bureau seamlessly.

Even superficial people don't have time to take up positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The duty of the leading female officer is to deliver people on time, and it is not for her to judge whether the grooming is neat or not.

Even if they knew about it with the leading female officer, they were just taken back to Shangyi Bureau to receive punishment.

Thinking of the food oil that knocked over the food box, Yang Shangyi felt nauseous.

Fortunately, I didn't come directly.

At this time, the anger in Yang Shangyi's heart was completely gone. She looked at Xue Bao'er and asked the last tricky question: "Do you know the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Xue Bao'er: "... I have never been to the palace before, so I don't know him. When I passed by the Palace of Compassion and Ning, I happened to meet a kind female official. She took the official to the House of Internal Affairs."

As he spoke, he touched his bare bun with a painful face.

She couldn't expose Jia Yuanchun, let alone mention Wei Chi.

Yang Shangyi wanted to laugh but tightened the corners of her lips, thinking, how did she know that female officials are not allowed to wear jewelry, it turned out that this jewelry was used to buy road money.

Although he didn't break the palace rules, he was late, no matter what the reason was, he still needed a small punishment and a big punishment.

As for how to punish, this little praise gave her a problem.

Usually, she punished people according to the palace rules, but this time they did not violate the palace rules. Yang Shangyi was silent, and said solemnly: "Go to Su Xin to get five... oh, no, three hands."

Xue Baoer obediently took orders.

Su Xin's eyes widened when she heard that, and the leading female officer even fined [-] of them!

At that time, Yang Shangyi heard that Zanshan was lost, her face was so heavy that she almost wrung out water, and she hurriedly sent someone to look for it, but she had to drag the sick body to explain the rules to Zanshan, and they were so scared that they did not dare to breathe. The palace people were even more silent.

In the end, only three hands were fined?

Su Xin looked at the maid behind Xue Baoer, who nodded knowingly, and said: "Shang Yi also said that Xue Zanshan's hand will hold a pen tomorrow."

Su Xin has dealt with punishment for many years, so she naturally has a good skill in her hands. Hearing that, she only took a ruler and slapped her three times moderately.

Xue Baoer endured the pain and went back to continue learning the rules.

While talking, Yang Shangyi noticed that Xue Baoer's face was getting paler and her body seemed to be shaking slightly, so she asked her: "Xue Zanshan, what's wrong?"

Xue Baoer was really uncomfortable, she guessed that Wei Chi had already left the palace, and no one could suppress the mermaid qualities in her body.

"I think I'm tired from running, and I want to drink some water." Xue Bao'er was dry and thirsty now, feeling weak all over.

Su Xin hurriedly brought tea and handed it to her, Xue Baoer took a sip and put it beside her, it was too hot, burning her mouth.

Soon it was time for dinner, Xue Bao'er had no appetite as usual, so she went to wash up first when she was tired, soaked in the cold water tub and passed out.

Zan Shan is no different from ordinary female officials, they are all female relatives of powerful families in the capital, the palace specially prepared a single room for them, and no one noticed that Xue Baoer soaked in the tub for a whole night.

Before dawn on the second day, Xue Baoer was awakened by a sense of suffocation, and she hurriedly sat up straight and regained consciousness.

After taking the Lengxiang pill, she had the strength to stand up and change into a set of clean clothes for herself, and moved to the side of the bed to lie down, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Can't wait any longer!

Today, today is the day, I must speak to Prince Ren!

When it was time to get up, the serving maid came in and was pleasantly surprised to find that Xue Zanshan had already tidied up and was ready to pick up someone at the gate of the palace.

Even with the blessing of Leng Xiangwan, Xue Baoer still couldn't walk fast, every step she took, there was a fine pain in her feet, and her condition didn't improve even when she reached the gate of the palace.

Sure enough, Wei Chi didn't come, only Princess An Ning was alone.
