Bold?
Cen Xijin let go of the second prince, and then slowly stood up, with his hands folded across his chest and a cold air between his brows and eyes. Now that she is a first-class palace maid, the number one person next to the second prince, and the pillar of the Jianxian Pavilion, will she still be afraid of a second-class palace maid?
This was because of her good intentions. If other maids had met such an "old man from the former dynasty", they would probably find her distasteful and try their best to drive her away.
At this time, several palace maids and eunuchs working outside the Jianxian Hall also raised their ears and listened quietly in the corner.
"Bold? I think you are the one who is bold!" Cen Xijin decided to play political tricks in order to establish her prestige. After all, she rose too fast from third to first class. First, she had no qualifications, second, no achievements, and she was young. Qing, it’s just a palace servant with the same junior qualifications as her. I’m afraid that many senior old people are unconvinced, so she walked forward slowly with a sneer on her face, “Feng’er, do you know yourself? identity of?"
At this time, Feng'er also put down the embroidery in her hands, raised her chin and confronted her in a sinister manner. Her tone became more and more excited, and her voice became louder and louder: "I know what you want to say, you are a dignified person." Waiting for the first-class palace maid, I am just a second-class palace maid! But in terms of qualifications, it is not your turn to serve His Highness, let alone your turn to show off like this! How long have you been in the palace? Do you know how long I have been in the palace? Have you? When Your Highness was one year old, I was elected to the Chengqian Palace. At that time, you were still playing in the mud in the countryside, right? Who are you? You just flattered Chen Jieyu and got lucky, otherwise you would have had What qualifications do you have to speak like this! I remember that a few months ago you seemed to be just a rough girl doing odd jobs in the kitchen, right? "
Cen Xijin's eyes were slightly cold. Feng'er had indeed been unwilling to give in for a long time. Moreover, she was very smart and had been hiding from observing her in the dark. If she hadn't been angered by Cen Xijin today, she would definitely not have said these words.
Bee'er, Bee'er, it's really harder to deal with than Die'er.
In fact, she admitted that what Feng'er said was very reasonable. In terms of qualifications and seniority, she couldn't even compare to Cherry. She had the status she had today because she was lucky, or in other words, it was because she had to travel through time. Women have their own protagonist aura.
But Feng'er is different. She didn't rise up out of thin air like Cen Xijin, but climbed up step by step. It took her five years to go from being a rough little palace maid who was bossed around to being a respectable second-class palace maid. . For five years, Feng'er had put in more hard work and effort than Cen Xijin. Naturally, her qualifications, strength, and reputation could completely overwhelm Cen Xijin.
All this, Cen Xijin felt like Ming Jing'er. But in her position, she has to seek her own government. Now that she has taken the position of the Grand Palace Lady of Qian Palace, she can never look back. If she turns back, she will be on the edge of a cliff, or she will be doomed!
The palace is a place where people kill without blood. If Cen Xijin can do whatever she wants, then she still wants to be a quiet and bright girl. What's the point of fighting for the position of a slave? But what is indisputable is not Cen Xijin’s final say.
She could only rely on the current situation and use all her scheming means to make herself live a good life.
Living is hope. In order to live well, Cen Xijin doesn't mind using any means, nor does he mind being a villain.
So she pushed Feng'er back with a smile, and her words were like those of a villain: "What Feng'er said is 'thinking about the past'? But what's the use of 'thinking about the past'? You can eat and drink. Can I still let you be the Grand Palace Maid? If you can do it, you can do it. Did I stop you from becoming the Grand Palace Maid before, or did I use the power of the Grand Palace Maid to suppress you later? No, neither! I'm polite to you. Yes, you are polite to everyone in Jianxian Hall. Why do you say sour grapes when you can’t eat them? What’s wrong with fawning over Chen Jieyu? Do you think I am willing to fawn over people? Do you think I am willing to catch bugs in the dark? Why not? It's not all for His Highness and for all of us. I didn't go there just for the position of the Grand Palace Lady. Everyone must know whether Chen Jieyu fell out of favor or was favored at that time. If I really went there for the Grand Palace Lady, I shouldn't have gone. Yaoguang Palace! This is completely unexpected. How can we guess the thoughts of the masters? I only know that life in Jianxian Palace is much better now!"
Cen Xijin spoke with sincerity and sincerity, and even the palace guests who were quietly listening outside the wall were a little shocked after hearing this.
The maids of honor are all very charming, and they all regard themselves as their masters. Although they all know etiquette and are well-educated, they always have a sense of arrogance and arrogance when they speak, as if they are doing what they do. Not the eldest maid, but the mistress.
Among all the eldest ladies in the palace, Cen Xijin, the newbie, is considered a down-to-earth person who speaks honestly.
In an instant, the attitude of the palace officials towards Cen Xijin was a little different. Where can I find such a kind and kind lady with a smiling face?
But in this way, Feng'er's existence becomes slightly embarrassing.
Feng'er's mouth was still very disdainful: "Yes, you can do it, you are capable, everything is your credit, the winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, now you don't care what you say! Princess Cen, Aunt Jin, then Just please kick me out!"
She had lost her dignity and face, and she didn't want to stay here any longer. She found it embarrassing to stand any longer.
"Driving you away? Why should I drive you away! If you haven't made a mistake, I won't drive you away. If you make a mistake in the future, you won't be able to stay even if you want to. We have to set a rule in the Jianxian Hall. "The last sentence is the key point.
The Jianxian Hall is difficult to manage. There are so many people inside and outside staring at this place eagerly. Many people are hoping that she will cause some trouble. You can imagine how much pressure Cen Xijin is feeling.
If we only rely on human relations to manage the Jianxian Hall, I'm afraid it won't be a long-term solution. In order for the Jianxian Hall to survive, Cen Xijin conceived a set of rules and regulations in his mind on the day he took office.
So Cen Xijin took out the paper and began to speak slowly.
She didn't know how to write the characters of this era, so she asked Ying Tao to write these words for her. Ying Tao's writing wasn't very good, but every stroke was very standardized.
She calls this system the "Jianxianguan Management System". The standardized management is comprehensive and written in black and white, which is convincing enough.
Especially in the rules and regulations, she also emphasized the reward and punishment system. It is this fair and just reward and punishment system. Those who have merit can be rewarded, and those who make mistakes can only be punished. Only in this way can the Jianxian Hall be unified. , guide the palace people to develop in a good direction.
Seeing Cen Xijin's selfless and sanctimonious look, some people below couldn't help but mutter: "What kind of system, I don't know if it will work for her? Don't you just come for us?"
Cen Xijin took a closer look. Hey, he was a middle-aged eunuch with an upright appearance, but he was not the smiling tiger Chow Tai Fook who was in charge of the overall situation. He was a man named Guo Chaoen. This person was responsible for all kinds of logistics work. He was usually meticulous and thoughtful, but with her No friendship.
"Don't worry, everyone, everything written in black and white must be fingerprinted, and naturally that includes me." She didn't want anyone to talk about this or that behind her back.
"What about me?" The second prince interrupted anxiously.
Cen Xijin clasped his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and spoke in an official tone: "This is a management system for the palace people. Your Highness is the master of the Jianxian Pavilion, so naturally you don't have to abide by it. However, Your Highness, I am a first-class servant by your side. The eldest palace maid will definitely take care of you personally and will never disappoint the expectations of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
Seeing that the palace people were still hesitating, she rushed forward and was the first to press the bright red fingerprint.
Choi Sum is the second one.
The third one was Feng'er who had just lost face.
This was unexpected by Cen Xijin.
I saw Feng'er rushing ahead of the cherry, quickly pressing his fingerprints on the paper, and glaring at Cen Xijin fiercely, saying loudly: "Huh, remember what you said today, don't just say it nicely! I want to read it. Look how you did it!”
After saying that, he walked away.
Someone started, so the people behind naturally had nothing to hesitate, so they pressed the bright red fingerprints one after another.
There are thirteen people in the Jianxian Pavilion, not including His Highness the Second Prince.
There are nine palace maids. The first-class maid is Cen Xijin, the second-class maid is Feng'er, and there are three third-class maids, namely Yingying who came all the way from Chengqian Palace, and Shuangfu and Liu'an, who were given by His Majesty. There are cabbage hearts, cabbage leaves, flowers and tassels.
There are four eunuchs, the two older ones are Zhou Dafu and Guo Chaoen. The two younger ones are liked to be called Little Baozi and Little Mencius by the palace ladies.
Fortunately, there were not many people, and it was easy for Cen Xijin to arrange them to perform their respective duties.
There is only one person whose identity is more embarrassing than Feng'er, and that is Chow Tai Fook.
In this palace, every master has two powerful arms. One is the chief maid who serves him personally (some concubines do not have a maid-in-waiting), and the other is the chief eunuch who serves him closely.
It can be said that originally the status of the head palace maid and the head eunuch were equivalent.
However, there was a special case around the second prince. He had hated eunuchs since he was a child, so the eunuchs lost the opportunity to serve His Highness closely. Gradually, their status was lowered. Therefore, whether in Chengqian Palace or Jianxian Palace, the chief eunuch was actually more important than the chief maid. Low status.
It is precisely because of this that being assigned to the second emperor's palace as a eunuch is really like a dead end.
And Cen Xijin is now the head maid, but the head eunuch is Chow Tai Fook.
Isn't this embarrassing enough?
In fact, Chow Tai Fook's mind has become a little active. He has always been thinking that from the previous Chengqian Palace to the current Jianxian Palace, is there a chance that his status can be improved?
For example... being on an equal footing with the Grand Palace Lady?
But he didn't expect that Cen Xijin would take the initiative to show his kindness.
"Eunuch Zhou, please co-preside with me in the overall situation of the Jianxian Hall." Cen Xijin didn't understand the eunuch's thoughts. Perhaps, only by letting the eunuch take charge of the eunuch would he be convinced. Zhou Dafu is the oldest eunuch, and Cen Xijin is also willing to train him as the chief eunuch of the Jianxian Hall.
"Ah? How can I do this?" Chow Dafu looked panicked, feeling surprised and excited.
Cen Xijin said sternly: "My father-in-law, there is no need to refuse. It is the same in every palace, and we don't need to do anything special. I will persuade His Highness, and we can just assign tasks."
After unifying the management policy with Chow Tai Fook, Cen Xijin was about to go back to the house, but she found that the second prince secretly stuffed something into her pillow when no one was around!
Hey, what does this kid want to do?
