After waking up from a nap, the eunuch Xiao Xingzi came in happily and reported: "My lord, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent two maids and three eunuchs for you to use."
The number of concubines in the harem is also very different depending on their status. The number of palace attendants and young envoys at the seventh rank is only served by one palace maid and one eunuch, while the sixth rank lady Cainv has two palace ladies and two eunuchs.
, there was one eunuch missing from her side before. It was said that there was a shortage of manpower, and he would make up for it later.
But after being in the palace for so long, I still haven’t made up for it.
Now that he is favored, his status is mentioned among talented people. As usual, there are four personal maids and four eunuchs.
Now it’s all together!
After calling Xiao Furong to come in and help her redress, she asked Xiao Xingzi to bring in the new palace guests.
As soon as the five people came in, they knelt down respectfully, kowtowed and said in unison: "My slaves, please pay your respects to this talented man!"
Yue Wangshu sat upright on the chair, put on a slightly stern expression, and then said: "Everyone, raise your heads."
Everyone then raised their heads cautiously, and Yue Wangshu took a glance. Not bad, she was older than Xiao Furong and Xiao Ju. At last, she was not surrounded by minors.
The eunuch Xiao Xingzi hurriedly said: "My lord, these are the capable palace servants carefully selected by the eunuch in charge."
After saying that, he introduced the three eunuchs to her one by one, namely Xiao Lezi, Xiao Anzi, and Xiao Fuzi. Although they were all "young" generations, they were all over twenty. The palace maid Jin Gui was eighteen years old, and Gingko was
Seventeen years old, good-looking and well-behaved.
Yue Wangshu gave a few words of instruction, but before he could assign errands, Xiao Ju quickly walked in and reported: "My dear, the chief steward of the imperial court, Eunuch Zhang, is here!"
Yue Wangshu thought to himself that she should be here to give her a reward. The emperor said this morning that she would be rewarded with new materials.
Yue Wangshu guessed well, but not completely.
Then he walked out of the inner room and was surprised to see Zhang Ji, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum. The table in the hall was already filled with all kinds of red and purple silks and satins!
Zhang Ji chuckled and said, "The Holy Master has given me ten pieces of cloud brocade and ten pieces of makeup yarn for my young master to make summer clothes."
There are quite a few!
Needless to say, the cloud brocade is a tribute brocade from the Jinling Brocade Department, also known as tribute brocade. The makeup yarn is the makeup yarn, which is a tribute from the Suzhou Satin Department.
, woven gold satin is the main one, but in summer, flower yarn is also used. Although it is called "gauze", its texture is light and thin, but not transparent at all. It is used to make summer clothes, which are gorgeous and cool.
Moreover, it seems that such high-grade satin material can only be found in the above examples, right?
While Yue Wangshu was overjoyed, he couldn't help but whisper: "Is this... in compliance with the rules?"
Zhang Ji smiled slightly: "In this palace, the emperor's words are the rules."
Yue Wangshu:...Okay.
"Then I would like to ask my father-in-law to convey my concubine's gratitude to the emperor. I will make new clothes the next day and put them on myself to thank the emperor." In short, as far as the rules are concerned, try to be as considerate as possible.
Zhang Ji smiled and nodded: "My young master, please don't be in a hurry to thank me. I have an edict from the emperor that has not yet been read out."
An edict is not a formal imperial edict. Sometimes it is just an oral edict. However, Zhang Ji has already taken out a yellow-covered edict from his sleeve, which shows that it is already more formal.
Yue Wangshu quickly gathered his clothes and knelt on the futon.
Zhang Ji solemnly unfolded the edict and read in a loud voice: "The talented Yue family, I respectfully present you to you, with excellent etiquette and pure quality. I will be named a fourth-grade beloved person and given the title of 'Pure'!"
Yue Wangshu: Why did the four idioms used to praise her sound to her like innuendo? And pure? Why did she sound more like "stupid"?
Zhang Ji closed the edict and smiled again: "My congratulations to the pure and kind man!"
Pure and good man?
Or a pure and good person??
Or is he a stupid good man??
Anyway, it doesn’t sound good!
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Yue Wangshu thought that promotion would mean a salary increase, so he endured it.
By the way, isn't it a bit inappropriate to give a low-level concubine a title?
Alas, forget it, regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, the imperial edict has been issued anyway, can she still resist it?
She is just a low-level concubine, and most of the other concubines in the harem are kind and virtuous, so it must not be a big problem, right?
Because she had entered the fourth grade, the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly added two more maids and two eunuchs to her. Now, there were so many people around her that she couldn't recognize them all for a while!
In the days that followed, as the weather got hotter and hotter, the favor of Yue Wangshu, a "pure good man", became even more popular.
The frequency of the emperor's reading of her sign was maintained at once every two or three days!
What's even more bald is that, apart from reading her brand, the emperor only occasionally stayed in the palaces of the Queen, Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiang. And according to the emperor himself, he would not touch these three.
Fortunately, outsiders didn't know about Su Sleeping. In this way, Yue Wangshu was not a special favorite, but a huge favorite.
But it also made her feel more uneasy.
She always felt that the emperor was trying to influence her.
Late that night, the Yanqing Palace was silent. Yue Wangshu was lying on a bed surrounded by a fence. Not far away was His Majesty the Emperor's bed.
Sure enough, sleeping in separate beds makes people feel more at ease.
It's just that when the bed was moved in, eunuch Zhang Ji's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd.
By the way, the only thing I have to mention is that His Majesty the Emperor took the initiative to change her bed. Yue Wangshu was really surprised at that time.
Emperor Yan Zheng has now taken off the crown on his head. A waterfall of black hair is slowly hanging down. He is a big man with long hair reaching his waist!
"Look, my hair is thicker than before." Yan Zheng looked at himself in the mirror. He has not had a recurrence of his secret disease this time, and even his breathing feels much smoother.
Yue Wangshu yawned, "The Emperor's complexion is much better than before."
Yan Zheng showed emotion, "The imperial doctor also said that my pulse condition is much better than in previous years." If this trend is followed, the root cause of the disease can be completely eradicated in less than two or three years.
"But, is your ultimate move still unusable?" Yan Zheng couldn't help but think, it's been three months.
Yue Wangshu shrugged. It hasn't cooled down yet. What can she do?
"Forget it, even so, you still deserve the most credit." Feeling that his health was getting better day by day, Yan Zheng was indescribably happy. He couldn't help but think that when I get better, he would ask the Yue family to help the queen.
Also take care of it.
"However, I have a vague feeling that it's almost time." Yue Wangshu murmured.
Yan Zheng was slightly happy, and then thought of Yue's fainting outside the Yan Qing Palace a few months ago, "Don't be too reluctant."
Yue Wangshu said "hmm" drowsily and fell asleep.
Looking at Yue Shi sleeping alone on the bed.
Yan Zheng couldn't help but sigh. We have been together day and night for so long, and I have made innuendo countless times, but Yue has always refused...
She seems cowardly, so why is she so resistant to this matter?
Am I...that bad?
"Can I call you Wanwan?"
Of course, Yue Wangshu, who was sleeping, could not give any response.
Emperor Yan Zheng took it as her acquiescence, "Wan Wan..." This chapter has been completed!
