Wei Jiashu only found out after his 18th birthday that Concubine Xia was going to stay in the Forbidden City for summer this year.

"Is it because the emperor refused to let her go, or..." Wei Jiashu asked in a low voice.

Yingluo whispered: "I have inquired, and the Chang'an Palace said that the imperial concubine was not feeling well and could not bear the fatigue of boats and trains, so she asked to stay in the palace."

Wei Jiashu asked: "That fourth prince——"

"The Fourth Prince has not yet entered the school." Ying Luo said.

Yes, before you can enter the school, you don’t have to follow your father to study in the palace.

"I lived in the palace for half a year last year." Wei Jiashu murmured to himself.

It was obviously impossible for Xianpin to ask himself to stay in the Forbidden City for his son.

Although Concubine Xia’s trick was not smart, it caught the key points.

When the emperor returns to the palace, I am afraid that the fourth prince will not recognize his biological mother.

In order to monopolize this child, Concubine Xia gave up competing for favor.

Well, Concubine Xia probably understood that it was impossible for her to be favored, so she simply focused on the Fourth Prince Xiujian.

"It's better if you don't go. The concubines have all gone with you. You will live in the Forbidden City." Wei Jiashu murmured to himself.

Even if one day she loses favor, she will be happy to stay in the Forbidden City and be with the concubines and concubines who are also out of favor.

The palace people are already busy packing their luggage. This year, they have added stingy little kids and have so many more baby supplies, so they have extra luggage.

In addition, Wei Jiashu has been upgraded by two levels compared to last year, and she has also been upgraded like a rocket when she is eating, wearing and chewing, so her luggage has also increased a lot.

On this busy time, the Office of the Internal Affairs also sent the palace maids who were selected this year.

The dynasty’s small selection time is in the first month of each year, and then it will be held for at least three months of palace maid training before it will be assigned to work in various palaces and courtyards.

Looking at the group of young girls kneeling under the outer corridor of the main hall, all of whom were minors, Wei Jiashu really had no choice.

Many of the little palace maids have shaved their heads and have only grown short hair about an inch, like a tomboy.

Although it is the era of the first industrial revolution, the hygiene conditions of the working people at the bottom are still worrying. Therefore, the first thing a woman from a poor family wants to shave her head when she is elected to the palace is to remove lice.

If a woman from a wealthy family has to check her hair carefully and confirm that there are no lice before she can keep her hair.

Wei Jiashu then ordered Yingluo: "You just want to choose a few." - After being promoted to the title of concubine, although there are still strict limits on the number of first-class and second-class palace maids, the number of palace maids is relatively wide, with at least thirty or forty people, and at most 70 or 80 people, mainly depending on whether they are favored.

As a favored concubine, and with a small master in Changqiu Palace, the number of people in the palace has expanded to three digits and is completely in line with the rules.

Since moving into the main hall, Wei Jiashu immediately promoted the most loyal Zhu Yun, and Xiu'er assigned by the imperial prefecture was the first-class palace maid, Qingdai, Qingluo, Qingju and Qingxing, the four Qing-generation palace maids, as second-class palace maids. Yingluo and Wu Mammy Wen were assigned by the imperial prefecture, and were the tutors, so they did not occupy the quota for personal palace maids.

As for the little boy, the staffing configuration is not inferior to her. Two eunuchs in charge, eight wet nurses, eight nannies, four cunts and cunts, four needlework and threading palace maids, eight cunts and several cunts.

So it was only when the mother and son lived in the side hall that they felt crowded.

Wei Jiashu was under the west window, carefully polishing the pair of plump feet on the canvas - she drew so many sketches for the meat, and finally chose the one that suited the most, and upgraded it to an oil painting. Now it is almost completed.

After she put down her brush, Yingluo approached her and became blessed. "My lady, I have picked twelve little palace maids, four of which are a little literate, and four of them are not bad in needlework. I sent Zhu Yun to Zhu Yun, Xiu'er and Madam Wen learned the rules. I will observe slowly for a while. If I am really loyal and clever, I will be promoted."

Wei Jiashu said lightly, and ordered: "This painting is dried and then framed and hung in Xiuyou's house."

Ying Luo smiled awkwardly: "The Queen Mother's painting is very good, but it's a little delicate."

Xiuyou in the painting is wrapped in a small quilt of peach blossoms and spring swallows, and is surrounded by spring flowers, looking like a little girl.

Wei Jiashu smiled, "As a child, he is naturally as delicate as a flower bud."

Ying Luo couldn't help but say in her heart: But the Sixth Prince is the prince...

In this season when flowers bloom, the imperial guard set off and headed to Daxuan Palace to avoid the noise and listen to politics.

He came to the familiar Qingliang Hall again, with flowers blooming everywhere. Wei Jiashu couldn't help but pinch the little cub's fleshy cub's cub's cub's cub's cub, "When I came here last year, you were still in my stomach."

"Ah~ah~" He spitted a baby in his mouth. Although he didn't know what it meant, he seemed to like this novel place very much.

The flower room in Daxuan Palace is busy moving a pot of seasonal flowers and trees to the corridor of Qingliang Hall. In a short while, it turns out to be colorful.

There was also a moon-wheel parrot under the corridor, which looked green and very fresh and environmentally friendly.

The sound is just not very nice, terrifying, like a crow.

Just as he thought so, the eunuch of the Bird Training Department of the Daxuan Palace was busy teasing the environmentally friendly parrot, "Let's call you nicely!" As he said that, the eunuch quickly fed some bird food to the parrot.

"Gaga~" The parrot crowed twice before ate the bait before changing his mouth and shouting: "Empress!"

Although the screams were like ducklings' voices and were not very clear, they still surprised the palace people.

Wei Jiashu also smiled, "It's not bad, just stay."

Then Yingluo asked the eunuch to give a silver ingot of the bird training eunuch. The eunuch laughed so hard that he could not stop and kowtowed to thank him. He also advised some bird raising ideas and left a special bird food, and then he knelt down and settled down.

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "This parrot is so smart, and looks very good, green and verdant!"

Well, it looks very green.

Wei Jiashu's smile had a different meaning, "Then call it Xiao Cui."

"Meow~!" Xiao Ai, the lion cat on the ground, made a low meow, and his bright mandarin duck eyes stared at Xiao Cui, a parrot hanging high on the golden silk rack under the corridor.

Wei Jiashu smiled and almost forgot that cats and birds are natural enemies, but this height should be fine.

It is mainly because Xiao Ai is raised by her, and her jumping power is greatly reduced... An orange cat, do you still want to jump up and catch birds?

Although Xiao Ai only has an orange heart on her head, she is also considered an orange cat.

Wei Jiashu squatted down and caressed Xiao Ai's furry head, "Okay, be good~"

"Meow~" Xiao Ai shouted sweetly, and her hair was instantly calmed down.

Zhu Yun spat and said, "Look at me, it's fighting for favor!"
