With the conversation of the little palace maid, Baochai knew that what she had done in the morning had been approved by Nanny Yao, and she felt more confident.After lunch, I was refreshed enough to wait for Shaoyao and Rhododendron at the door of the warehouse early.

After counting in the afternoon, some things didn't match up. This jewelry is not the same as the clothes. If it can be sent to the palace, just take out any one and it will be worth the property of an ordinary Fuhu. Baochai is not willing to be so ignorant After closing the account: "Auntie, please think about it again, is this eight-treasure flower hairpin really rewarding people?"

Shao Yao nodded: "Yes, it was that time when the empress summoned the wives, she had a conversation with a lady, and she rewarded her."

Baochai nodded and said, "Is there anything else that comes with the reward?" Such precious things are usually rewarded together with other things as a table gift.If it is rewarded alone, unless Concubine Shu is directly pulled from her head that day, it is still possible.

Shao Yao said: "It's been so long, who is patient enough to remember this."

But Baochai said: "Then it is unavoidable to look at the account at the cloth and silk department, or maybe only the jewelry was left out that day, but the cloth and silk department recorded it."

The cuckoo over there has already said: "Why bother, this hairpin sounds more precious, and it's not your mother's favorite. It's over soon, and there are other errands."

Baochai glanced at the two of them, the corners of her mouth were still smiling, but what she said made them feel cold: "Then maybe my eyes are dazzled? Why did I see you when I was choosing hairpins for your mother in the morning?" Are the hairpins also from the Eight Treasures?"

The person in front of him was still of such an undersized stature, yet he felt a sense of oppression. Du Juan signaled to Shao Yao that he was just trying to smooth things over for her, so that she could come back quickly.Shao Yao couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "There are similarities. The female officer looks at these jewelry, how many of them are eight treasures?"

"I won't talk about the complete set of hairpins. There are only five single hairpins, and one in the middle is unknown. Aunt Shaoyao, it's not my villainous heart, but today we should understand it better. In case there is something in the future, the front book and the back account will be unclear." Baochai didn't say that he never forgets, but he still remembers a few hairpins and rings.

Shaoyao had no choice but to write in the account book with Du Juan that this thing will reward a certain wife on a certain day, and signed the names of two more people.When the jewelry in Kuli was finished, Baochai refused to give up, and took Shaoyao to go to Concubine Shu's main hall.

Shao Yao was getting impatient, and her voice became louder: "The lady officer is too fussy. Originally, the handover was just handing over the account book and the key. I have spent a whole day counting it with you. Now I am not counting the trouble. , you still want to disturb the empress to rest?"

Baochai didn't care about such a small run, she just insisted on her own opinion: "There are a lot of jewelry on the account book, the aunt said that they are used by the empress, and they are all kept in the empress hall. I am a timid person. Naturally, it counts only when I see something. Otherwise, even in front of the empress, I wouldn't dare to just pick things up like this."

That's right, this little female official became a female official after talking with the empress, and she didn't parachute to Shangli Palace after the general election!Shaoyao's heart was churning for a while, but now she has become like riding a tiger, and she can't get down.Even Du Juan turned pale, and looked at Shao Yao with some complaints.

Concubine Shu heard the purpose of the three people's visit, and naturally let them count the dowry in her palace.She also saw Baochai's calmness, and Shaoyao's faint uneasiness.At the beginning, it was just a small fight for favor among a few people, and he deliberately joked with them, and asked Baochai: "Have you made it clear? But is there anything missing? If it is missing, then forget it now, or else you will not be able to talk about it next time." I don't give up either."

Baochai had already been blessed, and when she got up, she said, "Congratulations, my lady, there is nothing less, and there are a few more." Show Concubine Shu the few extra jewelry that I had just counted.

Concubine Shu's complexion was complete, looking at Baochai's eight-treasure hairpin, jasper and gold thread hanging, and gold-encrusted red ring, her brows were already furrowed: "Shaoyao, what's going on?"

Shaoyao had already turned pale when Baochai discovered these things, and now she knelt down heavily on the ground: "If you go back to your mother, it's because the slaves are small-minded, and if you don't feel angry that Mrs. Xue has robbed the servants, you want to Make it difficult for her. I beg your mother to be merciful, and this servant will not dare to do it next time."

Concubine Shu looked at Du Juan again: "You think so too?"

Where Du Juan could still stand, she had to kneel down: "The servant doesn't care about the clothes, thinking about the fineness of the peony over the years, so I just think that what she said is true, maybe I really forgot to keep the account. The servant is confused."

"You are so confused!" Concubine Shu said coldly.Then he asked Shaoyao: "Now Baochai has found a lot of things. If you can't find out, what are you going to do with these jewelry?"

"Your maidservant didn't intend to do anything. Please tell me, my lady, this servant girl really just wanted to cause some trouble for Mrs. Xue, and didn't intend to steal my lady's jewelry." Shao Yao had already bumped her head indiscriminately.

But even if she said it swearingly, Concubine Shu didn't believe a word.In this deep palace, how many major events are started by some inconspicuous little objects!What's more, not only do I know what jewelry the high-ranking concubines have, but even my enemies are always watching!Concubine Shu couldn't even imagine how much fuss would be made if such a thing went out of her palace.

A palace lady, or a big palace lady who has been under her command for several years, has such thoughts. If she says that there is no one behind her, Concubine Shu will not believe it.It's just who this person is, think about it, there are only a limited number of people, everyone should save some face.

"Come here, take these few things and take Shaoyao to the Punishment Division." Concubine Shu ordered indifferently.Shao Yao was so frightened that she could only cry loudly: "Your Majesty, this servant didn't want to steal your jewellery, they are all well placed in your dowry."

Concubine Shu nodded: "You didn't want to steal today." One sentence successfully calmed Shao Yao down.A stout nanny has already come up and pulled Shao Yao down.Concubine Shu said to Du Juan again: "Xin Zheku, Punishment Department, you choose one."

Du Juan kowtowed to Concubine Shu on the spot: "This servant is afraid of suffering, please give birth to your mother."

Concubine Shu nodded again: "Send the person to Xinzheku."

When Baochai took out these things, he had already thought that these two people would be punished, but he didn't expect that the punishment would be so severe.But Concubine Shu is in a high position, she has her own prudence and methods, which Baochai can't question, she can only stand there with a good nose and a good heart, even her face has not changed once.

Concubine Shu was also secretly paying attention to Baochai's expression. Seeing that she didn't turn pale because of her punishment of the two court ladies, nor was she proud of taking down two honorable court ladies in one fell swoop, she nodded inwardly, and said: It's thanks to Baochai, otherwise I wouldn't know that there is such a person by my side. Bi Tao, I want to give Baochai a mask."

Bi Tao, Na Shaoyao and Du Juan have also been in love for several years, and now that the two have achieved such a result, they are naturally a bit sad.After listening to Concubine Shu's orders, I realized that I should be in the same heart with Concubine Shu, instead of sympathizing with those two people who eat inside and outside. are different from each other.

Yu Shi blessed Baochai with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "In the past two years, I have been blindfolded, and I didn't see these two deadly things. Thank you, the lady officer, for clearing the disaster for my mother."

It's just such a merit, but Baochai didn't dare to live in it: "My aunt is too polite. It's just that the mother told me that every needle and thread of the empress is important. There are many people in this palace who make fuss about it, so I just became more careful." As for the nanny hired by my family, it was Nanny Yao, so there's no need to mention it.

Concubine Shu also nodded after hearing this: "That's exactly what makes people startled. This is where I am, and I have such thoughts."

The second half of the sentence should be Concubine Shu's feeling for a while, Bi Tao and Baochai are not easy to answer: Although they have been on the throne for more than three years now, the Supreme Emperor is still there, and the government has not yet been fully grasped.Before the two fathers and sons at the top had a fight, the concubines with sons below had already started a new round of competition for their sons.

Speaking of which, he is only in his early forties, which is the time when he is in the prime of life.The eldest of the four princes is twenty, and the youngest is only six years old, so there is no need to be so anxious.It's just that people's hearts are not enough. Those who become princes think about the unique throne in the world, and those who become empresses and concubines think that being a queen mother is really honorable.

Don't look at Concubine Shu's handling of people who are placed by her side now, she is full of emotion.But to say that there is no concubine Shu in other palaces who can be bribed, she dares to say this, even Baochai can't believe it.It's just that since she took the purse given by Lin Ruhai to someone, she has become one with Concubine Shu, and there is no possibility of separation.

Fortunately, this concubine Shu didn't show anything on the surface, but she still had a lot of trust in herself, the person recommended by Lin Ruhai, so Baochai would not refuse anything that was only good for her to complete the task.

While she was meditating, Bi Tao had already taken out a set of Jasper's hair, and Baochai hurriedly said that she didn't dare.Concubine Shu said: "Giving it to you is what you deserve, just keep it. Don't forget to put a check on the account, or someone will take yours next time."

Baochai couldn't hear the warning in the last sentence, so she took the head carefully, kowtowed and said: "I want to tell you, my maidservant, look at the original account book. Only the product name and material are recorded here, but is it gold or silver?" I don't remember the details of how much gold and how much silver was used. In this way, if there are greedy people, there is still something to do. So the servant girl thought, and spent a few days to complete this. Is it okay for your empress to see it?"

Concubine Shu looked at Bi Tao and said with a smile: "Listen, this is a little older person, but his thoughts are older than mine. You are all for my own good, how can I disobey you? It's just that you are too busy alone. Don’t come here. Now that you are a female officer, you should have someone to serve you.”

Baochai hastily declined and said, "Your maidservant is one who serves your mother. If there is another servant, what will happen?"

Bi Tao smiled and said: "The female official is now a sixth-rank position, and according to the system, she should be accompanied by a young maid. It's just that the empress didn't send someone to come. It's necessary for the slaves to go to the House of Internal Affairs."

Baochai's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "If my aunt goes to the House of Internal Affairs, there is someone here in Baochai. He entered the palace with Baochai at the beginning, and his name is Qiulan. She seems to be honest. If she didn't Picked up by another palace, I don't know if it can be convenient."

Concubine Shu is a little puzzled, this Baochai is not a warm-hearted person these days, how could she think of a little maid who entered the palace with her?You must know that the five little maids who were assigned to Shangli Palace with her have a very normal relationship with her.It's just that it's not a big deal, if you want people to be loyal to you, you don't have to be embarrassed about such innocuous things.

So Concubine Shu nodded at Bitao invisibly, what else doesn't Bitao understand?She smiled and said to Baochai: "The female official is really kind, and she still thinks about the sisters who entered the palace together. When the servant girl goes to the House of Internal Affairs to ask, if that Qiulan has not gone to other palaces, she must ask the female official to come."

Baochai also laughed and said, "Then I would like to thank Auntie."

"Forget it," Concubine Shu saw that the business was over, and she also said: "You are not tired of talking, but I am too tired to hear it. The troubles of the ladies and aunts give me a headache. In the future, you two will still call each other by name." Bar."

For a while, Bi Tao's rituals were undeniable, and Baochai said that the elders are respected, Concubine Shu just smiled and looked at the two politely, as if they hadn't disposed of the two first-class maids from Shangli Palace just now.

Shangli Palace can be regarded as that two people have never appeared, but other palaces cannot.Before dinner time, the Department of Punishment had come to report, saying that Shaoyao could not survive the punishment, and had already gone.The news from Xinzheku is that when Du Juan arrived in Xinzheku, he thought that he was still a maid of honor in Shangli Palace, and asked the nuns there to teach him a lesson.

When Concubine Shu got the news, Baochai, who was discussing the day's situation with Madam Yao, also knew about it.Seeing that Baochai was not curious about how the little maid in front of her knew the news, Yao Nanny smiled approvingly, a real smile, which made Baochai instantly feel that this Yao Nanny should have She is a beauty.

"Do you think the empress is cruel?" Mommy Yao suddenly asked.

Baochai shook her head: "No. I think the empress is very decisive."

Nanny Yao nodded and said: "That's clear. Most people would think that the cuckoo was just implicated by Shaoyao, and that's all they need is a monthly fee and a few rewards. If the empress treats it leniently, getting a good reputation is the next thing to do." , then is there any Dujuan who is not grateful and sincerely repays his service?"

how come!Baochai had already rejected this possibility in her heart, but she still listened to Yao Nanny's analysis seriously: "But when Shaoyao first started, she didn't expect you to have someone to be a witness. When you asked someone to witness, she first The one who thinks of is not Bi Tao who is in charge, but Du Juan, who is not outstanding among the four first-class maids. Obviously, this Du Juan is someone Shao Yao trusts, so when something happens, she is the first thing she thinks of. "

"Those who can be trusted by Shaoyao, don't think of other than being in the same place with her. For such a person, once the empress trusts her again, the consequences can be imagined. Even if she and Shaoyao are not from the same place, If the empress punished her, would she feel resentful? So it is wise for the empress not to use both of them." Mother Yao made the final judgment.

Baochai thought that her brainy Gong Douwen would be able to survive in this harem, but Yao Nanny's analysis earlier still made her feel ashamed: At that time, she just vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she did it just to be on the safe side. Pay attention everywhere.But concubine Shu just raised her eyes, she even made a decision.The women in the harem cannot be underestimated.

"It's too much for you to want that Qiulan." After Yao Yao finished talking about Concubine Shu, she began to criticize Baochai herself: "You have only been with her for a month, and your character is not good enough. How can you dare to ask people to come to you if you can't figure it out? There is no room for too many kind-hearted people in this palace."

Baochai had no choice but to say: "I just saw her innocent and innocent, and felt that I hit it off. And I thought that it would be better to teach this one who is still familiar to me instead of someone I don't know."

Mother Yao sighed: "These are your private affairs, I shouldn't talk too much about reasoning. It's just that my mother let you learn from me, I think it's because I trust you, and I will make great use of it in the future. My mother has a great favor to me , so I don’t want my mother to believe in the wrong person. It’s fine if the little maid doesn’t come, but if she does, she will come to me every day with you first.”

Baochai didn't ask Concubine Shu what great favor she had for Yao Yao, but just nodded in response to Yao Yao's words.She was originally worried that since she became a female official, if Father Xue found out the news and sent people in from home by digging holes, instead of adding another person to the palace, it would be better to find someone she was familiar with.

It's just that it's not easy to tell Nanny Yao clearly, after all, Nanny Yao is teaching her like this for Concubine Shu's sake.Fortunately, Nanny Yao had already thought about how to take care of Baochai's aftermath, and as long as she was soft-hearted for a while, the matter passed.

"Sister Baochai!" As soon as she returned to her small courtyard, Baochai heard a cry of surprise, it was Qiulan or something.Hongmei, who brought Qiulan over, immediately coughed, and Qiulan's surprise was fixed on her face, a little embarrassed.

"Aunt Bi Tao is really quick." Baochai smiled at Hongmei, "I'm afraid that this girl will be chosen by other women."

Hongmei also gave Baochai some face, just as if she hadn't heard Qiulan's outrageous address just now: "Qiulan was not chosen by other ladies, but she was assigned to sweep in the imperial garden. It saved sister Bitao's trouble. "

Baochai said in a low voice: "I think your good deeds are coming soon, and I should congratulate you."

What she was talking about was that Concubine Shu had to find someone to replace her after she left with the first two first-class maids.Hongmei knew a little bit about the cause and effect, and said with a smile: "It's also thanks to the female officer."

Baochai didn't accept the compliment: "It's because you are loyal to your mother that you can do such a good thing, so what have I to do with you? I'm afraid I'll have to call you aunt tomorrow."

Hongmei said anxiously: "Whatever the female officer said, I just listen to the mother's orders. The water is so big that the bridge cannot be filled, and the servants know where the water comes from."

Baochai no longer refuses, just chats with her a few words, and Hongmei returns home.

Until Hongmei left.Only then did Qiulan stick out her tongue: "This aunt is so imposing."

Seeing her innocent expression, Baochai only hoped that her heart and heart were the same, otherwise it would not be easy for Nanny Yao.It's just that I don't want to remind her now, after all, it's the person who wants to be by my side, and it's a great thing to have an old and mature mother Yao help her to screen out.

When the two entered the room, Qiulan had already lighted the lamp without ordering.Baochai sat down comfortably, and then asked: "You have been assigned to the Imperial Garden, which is considered an easy task. I was just impatient. I only wanted to get well with everyone and was willing to stay together for a long time. Let someone ask you if you would like to come to my place."

When Qiulan heard this, she said in a hurry: "Why don't you want to. I heard that some important people came from the Shangli Palace. Those people envy me so much. It sounds nice to say that the imperial garden is sweeping, but no matter whether it is cloudy or sunny, there are even flowers under the flower wall. Not a single fallen leaf is allowed, and no water can accumulate on the stone road, sister, oh no, it's a female officer, think about it, is it easy?"

This means willing to come.Baochai still instructed: "Even if you are willing to come here, you have to change your original temperament so that you can stand here."

Qiulan naturally couldn't handle it.Baochai couldn't help but tell her all the rules and regulations he had seen and heard in the Shangli Palace these days.Talking about Nanny Yao again, Qiulan said: "The nanny who combs herself lives in a side courtyard by herself, and has two servants. Isn't that the kind of treatment only talented people can have?"

Baochai was taken aback.It's no wonder that she always felt that Yao Nanny was disharmonious everywhere, but it was just this that made her unable to figure it out.But Baochai was a little afraid of Mother Yao, and she didn't want Qiulan to do harm to her, so she warned her, "I can't even think about it in the future. Even if it's just the two of us, we have to guard against the walls."

Hearing her stern words, Qiulan's face turned pale: "Yes, this servant knows, so I won't talk nonsense in the future."

Baochai nodded, and asked again, "Have you brought all your things here?"

Qiu Lan said: "It's not good for my aunt to see my things, so I didn't let me bring them here. When I first came here, I already got another copy. It's just that I want to sleep with the lady, why don't I just leave the things with the lady?" Here."

That's why the maids in the small election are willing to be assigned to the palace of high-ranking concubines: it is said that all classes of court ladies have the same share, but those things are divided into three, six, and nine ranks.There is a difference between someone who is in the lead and no one to rely on.

It's just that Baochai doesn't want someone to follow her while sleeping, not to mention whether Qiulan can be used is another matter.Yin said: "You just came here. There are only the two of us in this yard. We have all the houses. Just tidy up one room and come out. You haven't squeezed enough with others yet?"

Qiulan stuck out her tongue again and smiled: "But people say that only those who can sleep with the master are the ones the master needs. Although I am a bit stupid, I am willing to learn from the female officer."

"Nonsense again!" Baochai hurriedly stopped her: "You are from Shangli Palace, and Concubine Shu is our master! Remember! Next time I dare to say such a thing, I will not dare to use you. "
