"Sister, go first?"
"Since it's Miss Meng who came first, you will naturally go first."
"Pfft, it's just a road. Sister Xu and Sister Meng, why are you so humble?"
"Yes, what's the point of being modest? Since you two don't want to leave, how about I leave first?"
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to react, the speaker actually stepped into the palace ahead of the other three.
The ones who spoke above were Meng Chuyu, the fourth miss of the Jingguo family, Xu Luhua, the eldest daughter of the Xianguo family, Xie Gui, the only daughter of Ningyuan Marquis, and Yang Yushuang, the fifth miss of the Yang family, who had a similar temperament to Yang Guifei.
The four of them are considered to be the most influential figures in this draft. The voices around the palace entrance were much quieter as soon as they appeared, and now it was even more silent, attracting everyone to look at them.
After all, if nothing else happens, these four people can be considered as recommended players in this draft. They will definitely be selected, and their final position will not be low. Who wouldn’t want to observe such a being?
After just watching for a while, they figured out that something was wrong. The four people had a tacit understanding of working in pairs, and their words seemed quite familiar. What's more, they didn't seem to intend to hide the matter, and it soon leaked out. Send a message.
Meng Chuyu and Yang Yushuang shared a room, and Xu Luhua and Xie Gui shared a room.
Even though the daughters of petty officials like Lu Yunying were arranged on a first-come, first-served basis, the ladies from the father-in-law's house and the royal family had reserved a place in the Chuxiu Palace early in the morning.
I don’t know which narrow-minded person was arranging the rooms, but he actually put the queen, Yang Guifei’s sister, and the two highest-born people in the class together. He was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to fight.
Lu Yunying knew there was something going on as soon as she saw this situation, and was convinced that a high-ranking empress should have taken action. She eliminated the Queen Mother, Queen and Concubine Yang through the Meng and Yang families, and eliminated her through Concubine Xian's attitude yesterday. The remaining high-ranking officials There are only a few empresses, namely Concubine Yu, Concubine Shu... Maybe the favored Concubine Wan also has this ability.
Concubine Yu was ill and therefore declined the task of drafting. Concubine Wan's family background was said to be average. Lu Yunying felt that Concubine Shu was more likely. Of course, she just made a guess for her own entertainment.
These four young ladies are the top ladies of Dalin. They have known each other since early in the morning. Except for the collision when they entered the door, they actually sat down in pairs according to the room in a very harmonious manner.
It's a pity that because I came late, the seat was not very good. It was not like in the movies and TV shows where the middle seat was specially reserved for these four ladies.
Not long after they arrived, the nuns responsible for teaching also came. The Queen and the Queen Mother each sent two nuns, a total of four nuns. Apart from teaching the rules, they were not responsible for other matters. They were responsible for other things. It was Grandma Feng who was originally in charge of Chuxiu Palace.
Aunt Feng looked and spoke in a friendly manner, saying that the ladies were now half the masters of the palace, and if they were not used to being wronged, just go to her and deal with it.
After such an introduction, another stick of incense time passed. Lu Yunying calculated in his mind and found that the words and self-introductions of these five nuns were simple and straightforward. They did not delay the time at all, let alone the studies of the new show girls.
After thinking about it, I think it’s normal. Those who hang out in front of the Queen Mother are not too bad in ability and vision. But the power of the nun who is in charge of a palace is not to mention. They are all top figures among the palace maids. There is no need. On the first day, these show girls who will become the real masters in the future are given power. Not only will they offend others, there may be some of them among these show girls.
What's the point of trying to scare your own people?
Thinking of this, Lu Yunying vaguely felt that she had forgotten something. After a while, someone helped her remember it.
"Mommy."
Chen Xingyue appeared at the door of the palace, her face flushed with embarrassment. Her clothes were no longer the goose yellow that Lu Yunying had seen before, but were now pink. She was out of breath because she was in a hurry, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.
"The palace maid made a mistake, I, I'm late."
The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Chen Xingyue, causing her to explain involuntarily:
"The palace maid knocked over the plate of snacks and soiled my clothes, so I had to wash up, change clothes and tie my hair again..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she stopped involuntarily. Her fingers clenched into fists, and her nails almost made bloody marks on her palms.
The county magistrate is also a parent, and she is the only legitimate daughter in the family. She is praised by all the stars. Where has she ever seen such a battle? I just wish I could faint to death.
If reason hadn't told her that she couldn't miss the first day, and that if she got sick in the palace, she would be removed if she couldn't, she would definitely have pretended to be sick and couldn't come, but, but... at this moment... It took her almost ten thousand years. Finally, Chen Xingyue heard her grandma say:
"My young master, please sit down first."
There was no mention of punishment, and there was no sign of happiness or anger. Even after Chen Xingyue sat down, he continued to talk about the palace rules calmly.
But the atmosphere around Xiang Xue has been broken. Many beautiful ladies looked at Chen Xingyue from time to time, obviously no longer interested in learning the palace rules.
And what a coincidence, because Lu Yunying's location was remote, there was only one empty seat near her. The four recommended students, including Chen Xingyue, were all sitting next to her. While the beautiful ladies who came over were sizing up the five people, they were inadvertently Lu Yunying was attracted.
First, he felt that Lu Yunying was friendly and familiar, and then he became wary if he was a bit ambitious. With such beauty, he would definitely be a formidable enemy if he entered the palace.
Obviously, the Sunflower Card Pack in the novice gift pack was not as useful as Lu Yunying imagined. Under the eyes of everyone, whether they liked it or not, the whole morning passed.
The ladies could choose to eat in the side hall or go back to their rooms. Lu Yunying noticed that Chen Xingyue had left early in the morning, probably to go back to her room, so she didn't want to get into trouble and went to the side hall with Chu Xiu Niang, whom she had just met.
Chu Xiu Niang obviously noticed Chen Xingyue, but she had only heard the voice and had never seen Chen Xingyue, so she was not sure and asked specifically. She showed sympathy after receiving Lu Yunying's affirmative reply.
"I was thinking that since you, sister, have a bad relationship with the girl in the same room, and I am in the same situation, I might as well inform grandma and then switch rooms, but now it seems that this is not possible."
At first, I could only say that my tempers were inconsistent, and the girls were no better or worse. But now, whether Chen Xingyue’s behavior was due to the palace maid or not, I could only say that she was brainless... Who wants to live with a brainless person? His temper was obviously bad.
"Then I feel sorry for my sister, because her plan failed."
"Tsk~ I thought my sister was a serious person before, but I didn't expect that she would also make fun of her."
"Then this is another thing I feel sorry for my sister about."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, stop talking."
"Tell me a few more words, sister. I'm afraid I won't even eat anymore. I've laughed so much. It's not that you're sorry for me, but that you deserve me so much. This smart mouth is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
With that said, Chu Xiu Niang stretched out her hand and tapped Lu Yunying's mouth. Lu Yunying smiled and said nothing.
It is true that she doesn't like to interact with people, but there is not much difference between dislike and dislike. It is not easy to please people, but it is easy to say a few funny words and make people laugh.
The two of them went to the side hall arm in arm, but the four recommended students chose to go back to their rooms like Chen Xingyue, but they were not an exception. About half of the people went back to their rooms and went to the side hall, but they decided to eat in the side hall. The beautiful ladies seemed to be more outgoing, and soon the side hall became more and more lively.
But this has nothing to do with Lu Yunying and Chu Xiu Niang. No one came to contact them specially. Fortunately, there are palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the side hall to take care of these beautiful ladies. Even if Xue Li is not with Lu Yunying, she will not be reduced to this To the point where I have to personally pick up the food box and prepare a meal for myself.
After lunch, they rested for a while in the side hall and drank some strong tea to refresh themselves. Then the ladies began to study in the afternoon.
However, Lu Yunying noticed that the positions of the four recommended students had changed and leaned towards the middle. In addition, Chen Xingyue's condition was not as wilting as in the morning. She was full of energy. She noticed Lu Yunying's gaze and glared at her.
The afternoon passed quickly. After a day of study, these beautiful ladies showed more or less fatigue.
Time is too tight. The draft was just yesterday and they started to learn the palace rules today. It takes such a long time to learn. What's more, the palace is not home, and it is impossible to have everything go smoothly. All of this makes them urgently need time to rest.
Chu Xiu Niang was willing to accompany Lu Yunying to the side hall for dinner, but looking at her tired face, Lu Yunying shook her head and refused.
You can hide in the side hall for lunch, but not for dinner. You have to go back after all, and there is no need to drag Lady Chu Xiu to suffer.
Seeing her refusal, Chu Xiu Niang did not insist on anything, but sighed and muttered:
"They say everything in the palace is good, but I don't think so. Not to mention that there are only a few servants. There were only two plates of ordinary pastries this morning. If I hadn't thought that I couldn't stand it without eating, I wouldn't have given in. "
"Two discs?"
"Huh? Isn't that true of you, sister?"
Lu Yunying shook her head, thinking that although Chu Xiu Niang was quick to speak, she was not insecure, so she spoke.
The two parties were paired together, and then they discovered that there was an extra plate of water chestnut cakes.
Lu Yunying didn't have a backer, and Chen Xingyue obviously didn't do that this morning either.
"Is it possible, sister, that the maid you are serving has some connections in the dining room?"
"have no idea."
"No, that's not right. The dining room is a good place. If it has something to do with the dining room, how can you still come to serve us?"
"Maybe, but not much?"
"Hahaha, it's possible to think so."
The two of them were on the way, chatting and laughing, and soon got close to where they lived, and then realized something was wrong.
A group of people were gathered in front of them. The palace maid who passed by looked pale. As they walked a little further, they could hear the dull sound of wooden sticks and penises being struck. The two of them immediately stopped, fearing that they would touch some taboo. So he took the little eunuch passing by and spent some money to ask about the situation.
The little eunuch didn't dare to ask for money, and his face was ugly, but the matter was settled.
A maidservant who was responsible for serving the beautiful ladies did not do her best and delayed the nobleman. She was punished by Nanny Feng with thirty sticks and was executed in this courtyard, so that all the eunuchs and maidens would tighten their skin and not dare to relax again.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yunying's expression changed. Chu Xiu Niang was not stupid, so she immediately looked at Lu Yunying.
The only one who came late today was Chen Xingyue, so when it came to not being diligent and delaying the nobleman's affairs, the only one was Xue Li.
Sure enough, as he walked a few steps further in, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and Xue Li's white and green face also appeared in Lu Yunying's field of vision.
Killing chickens to scare monkeys, these four words suddenly appeared in Lu Yunying's heart.
Yes, after this incident, there is no need to worry about whether the palace maids and eunuchs fulfilled their duties. As soon as they entered the palace, they maimed a palace maid in front of all the ladies. The ladies were afraid and did not dare to do anything else.
Show girls are half-masters, and to put it nicely, they are called mistresses, but in fact, what is the difference between them and palace maids?
