Chapter 917 Too Thoughtful
When it was lunch time, Bao Qing took a look and called Bao Hong aside to whisper.
"Don't always mention my name in front of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine will not be happy if she hears it too much." Bao Qing lowered his voice.
Baohong was a little puzzled for a moment: "Why is the empress unhappy?"
She mentioned Bao Qing a lot, wouldn't it just make the empress remember Bao Qing?
"If you listen too much, your Majesty will think that I am instigating you, and your impression of me will be bad. Do you know that?" Bao Qing explained helplessly.
Baohong never thought it would be so complicated: "I thought this was for your own good."
"Anyway, don't always mention me in front of your Majesty, you have to remember this." Bao Qing reiterated again.
Baohong nodded vigorously, "I understand."
If she had known that this was not good for Bao Qing, she would not have mentioned Bao Qing frequently in front of the imperial concubine. It was a disservice to her with good intentions.
Although the volume of their conversation was very low, Qin Zhao had good hearing and listened to their conversation again.
Her reaction after hearing this was: Bao Qing is too thoughtful!
She would never reuse such a person, but she also wanted to find out one thing: whether Bao Qing was a thorn that other concubines in the harem sent into Jinyang Palace.
Therefore, the best way is to let Bao Qing be on duty in front of him, so that he can see clearly whether he is a human or a ghost earlier.
After Baoqing visited Baohong, Baohong did not dare to mention Baoqing in front of Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao knew the twists and turns, and of course he would not point them out.
Seeing that seven days had passed, Bao Qing could only wait outside. At this time, Bao Qing's heart was already half cold, thinking that his probation period had ended in failure.
Just when she was desperate, Qin Zhao suddenly called Baolu and her into the study.
"Bao Qing has been on trial for seven days. During these seven days, I have not had much impression of Bao Qing. It would not be my style to deny everything about Bao Qing. I thought about it and decided to give Bao Qing another try.
One chance. But while giving Bao Qing a chance, I must also give others a chance, so this time I called Bao Lu over. The two of you will be on duty in the main hall for the next seven days, and the probation period is seven days.
If Bao Qing doesn't show anything this time, he will return to his original position, do you understand?" Qin Zhao glanced back and forth at Bao Qing and Bao Lu.
Baolv and Baoqing were both feeling uneasy at the same time.
Especially Bao Lu, she just got this opportunity, but the person the imperial concubine mentioned the most just now was Bao Qing.
It was clearly agreed that the trial period would be seven days, but Bao Qing was once again given a seven-day trial opportunity. This obviously meant that he was more optimistic about Bao Qing, right?
How can she defeat Bao Qing and win this opportunity to serve in the main hall?
Next, the two of them were waiting outside the study, while Baozhu, Baohong and Xiao Linzi were waiting inside the study.
Baohong glanced secretly outside the study room and felt that the current model was the style that the imperial concubine should have. With such a noble status as the imperial concubine, shouldn't she be cheered by everyone?
According to her, the other four new chambermaids should also be given a chance, so that the imperial concubine will have enough manpower to serve her.
"Your Majesty, can I make some suggestions?" Baohong said boldly.
"Tell me." Qin Zhao held the child while reading, his eyes never leaving the book.
Baohong did not hesitate this time and expressed her opinion directly: "The empress is now respected as a noble concubine, so she should be served by many people. But right now, it seems that there are too few attendants to serve the empress..."
Qin Zhao finally raised his head and looked at Baohong.
Baohong blushed under Qin Zhao's gaze and said, "This slave is just making a small suggestion. Maybe I should have more people to serve you. What do you think?"
Qin Zhao just smiled and said: "People are valued for their quality, not their numbers. I only use trustworthy people. If some people are ambitious, leaving them here will only cause trouble."
In the final analysis, Baohong still wants to fight for Baoqing's service opportunities.
In terms of the way of looking at people, Baohong is not as good as Baoyu.
At this time, Baozhu answered: "Your Majesty has her own ideas about how she wants to employ people. Baohong, please don't worry about this matter."
When Bao Hong saw Bao Zhu's words, she didn't dare to make any more random ideas.
Considering that they only had the opportunity to try it out after entering Jinyang Palace for three months, we can see that the imperial concubine is very cautious. Doesn't it mean that the imperial concubine trusts her if she has such an opportunity?
After thinking about this, she decided to be more loyal to the imperial concubine in the future.
Bao Lu, who was waiting outside the study, heard the conversation coming from inside and was making quick calculations in her mind.
Bao Qing had been waiting for her for seven days but could not gain the imperial concubine's trust. During these seven days, she had to seize the opportunity and compete with Bao Qing.
Just now, the imperial concubine did not approve of Bao Hong’s suggestion, which shows that they have very few chances.
Therefore, she must seize every opportunity she can, and even more, she must suppress Bao Qing's edge.
Soon Bao Lu realized that she was overthinking. Neither she nor Bao Qing had the opportunity to show their faces in front of Qin Zhao, so Qin Zhao could not know who performed better between her and Bao Qing.
This fact makes Baolv very melancholy.
Since there is no chance to show off, how will the imperial concubine know that she is capable?
She was a little impatient, but seeing Bao Qing's calm look, she was a little confused and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Bao Qing didn't understand what Bao Lu meant.
Bao Lu took a peek at the study and lowered her voice: "Aren't you worried that you won't be able to pass the probation period?"
Bao Qing has already tried it out for the second time. He failed the first time. The imperial concubine gave him a second chance. It is impossible to give him a third chance, right?
She didn't believe Bao Qing was so calm.
Bao Qing smiled and opened her lips calmly: "What's the use of worrying about this? It's better to do your own thing. As for whether the probation period can be passed, it is up to the imperial concubine to decide."
This is an outcome beyond their control.
Bao Lu thought this made sense, and she sighed softly: "I just don't understand. Bao Hong can pass the probation period, why can't you?"
She thinks Bao Qing has a good temper. Among the new four treasures, besides Bao Lan, Bao Qing is the most beautiful and has the best temper.
She and Bao Hong are both impatient, unlike Bao Qing and Bao Lan who are calm.
She thought that all the masters in the harem would like stable and mature attendants, but the imperial concubine seemed to be different from others.
"The imperial concubine is reading in the study, please stop talking." Bao Qing responded in a low voice, not wanting to discuss this topic any further.
Baolu took a peek into the study and saw Baohong pouring tea and water, looking very attentive.
I don’t know whether it’s because Baohong has been trained by the imperial concubine, or because of the imperial concubine’s power, but Baohong looks different from her irritable appearance before.
She looked at it and marveled, thinking that the imperial concubine was really a strange woman, she actually changed Baohong in such a short period of time.
If she can serve in front of the imperial concubine, she will surely make progress, right?
