Ruan Yuyi's heart sank, and she realized to some extent what was inside. She opened the box and uncovered the brocade cloth, and a blood-red phoenix shape was vaguely exposed inside. She didn't take a closer look and hurriedly put it back.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
She was just a little Jieyu, with neither background nor thunderous skills. After all, she was still a victim of crime - although she had always believed that her father was unjustly imprisoned. Therefore, she never thought about who this Phoenix Seal would fall into.
As long as the hand can protect itself, it is enough.
Her slender white fingertips were holding the box, and her hand felt very heavy.
Jiang Huaiyang caressed the back of her neck, and the rough calluses scratched her skin. He said, "Lingling should know."
His phoenix seal was given casually, and all these powers were nothing more than child's play in front of him, not worth mentioning.
"But my concubine won't." She was still thinking of refusing. She thought that either the calm-tempered Xu Concubine or the sharp-minded Li Meiren were more suitable than her.
"I will teach you myself."
She thought for a moment and then said, "My concubine is just Jieyu. Your Majesty should give her to Xu Concubine."
His hand slid down to her waist, and as soon as he pulled it away, she fell into his arms, "It won't be the case in a few days." Concubine Shu was grounded, and the palace couldn't have anyone in charge of the Phoenix Seal for a day. He could have handed it over.
It was given to the Queen Mother to take charge of, but because of the Queen Mother's thoughts, she was afraid that if she gave it to her, it would be difficult to take it back.
The Kuang palace was in disarray, and the expenses and affairs were far less than those of the previous dynasty, so it was not difficult to manage.
His clear breath filled her nose, and her body became weak.
Ruan Yuyi clung to his shoulder, enduring the heat in her ears while trying her best to understand what he just said.
Mu Ling's sobbing face suddenly flashed before her eyes.
She slumped slightly, leaned into his arms, avoided his disturbing hands, and said softly, "I understand, I will live up to the holy will." His hand caught up with her again, and as she spoke, her words changed.
tone.
She pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes were filled with mist.
His hand did not move further down the river. She took this opportunity to take the tea cup and sipped it. The tea slipped into her throat and the burning sensation was relieved.
Jiang Huaiyang passed the order, and within a short time, all the officials in the harem were kneeling on the ground.
They originally thought that they were the only ones being summoned, and they were still panicking, not knowing what they had done. Now that people around them were there, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite this, everyone was respectful and solemn, keeping their voices and holding their breath.
She struggled to sit alone, but unfortunately she was not as strong as him. His voice fell into her ears, "It's not that I will teach you. Lingling is far away, how can I teach you?"
She tilted her head, not wanting to look at the palace people below, and her breathing was heavy.
Jiang Huaiyang pinched her chin and forced her to look, "Why don't you turn your face? How do you recognize people and ask questions if you don't look at them?"
She took a breath, her fingertips clenched until they turned white, "How will Your Majesty teach this concubine?"
"I say something, and you say something after." He spoke almost in a breathy voice.
She nodded slightly and agreed.
He suppressed his voice and spoke into her ears, "From now on, the affairs of the Sixth Palace will be in charge of my son. The chiefs of each place will now report their names and their respective accusations, starting with the one on the right hand."
Although the voice was soft, it was clearly heard by her. She raised her voice and repeated it. However, her voice was soft and delicate, and it sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate. There was no sense of anger or power.
The chiefs below have done this job, and none of them are not human beings. When they entered the door and saw the situation above, they did not dare to raise their eyes. I thought to myself, Your Majesty is really protecting this person. Such a move can be regarded as an act of honor for her.
So powerful.
None of the principals dared to neglect, and they reported everything one by one.
Ruan Yuyi took this opportunity to recognize the person. Her memory has always been good. She only went through it once and she remembered it very well.
Because she has a good memory, she used to select poems, books, etc. to read. When her husband took the test on her, she was able to memorize many of her classmates fluently.
However, when I got married later, I followed the old saying that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue" and she never told anyone about it.
Seeing her frowning slightly and looking serious, he said, "There's no need to rush to write it down all at once. There will be plenty of time in the future. If you can't remember it, it's okay, as long as they recognize you."
She blinked twice, tilted her head slightly and said, "I have acknowledged you."
He didn't believe it, and casually clicked on the nanny on the far right in the back row, "Who is that?" As far as he knew, Concubine Shu didn't remember everyone when she was in power. She probably only committed crimes and acted tactfully.
It looks more familiar.
"The person in charge of the Clothing Bureau, my surname is Lou."
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he ordered another one.
"The steward of the imperial kitchen is named Jin," she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But I always feel that something is not right. This father-in-law does not seem to be the steward." When everyone came in, he was the only one with an uncertain expression.
A look of panic.
What's more, if he is the manager, he looks a little younger.
When the eunuch heard this, he was horrified and couldn't help but kowtow, "Your Majesty, forgive me. It's true that Lord Jin was drunk and couldn't make it, so he sent his servant. Your Majesty just asked the name of the principal.
This slave is so talented——"
"The sky is clear and the sun is clear, and I leave my post without permission. Lingling said, how should I be punished?"
He played with her fingers. The nails were newly dyed red, but they were not too bright, more like the natural blood color.
She hesitated for a while and then asked tentatively, "Half a month's salary as penalty?"
"not enough."
She said sternly to the eunuch, "General Manager Jin left his post without permission and will be fined a month as punishment." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard her heart pounding like a drum, and her ears felt a little hot.
The eunuch's voice of agreement soon overshadowed her heartbeat. She felt a little relieved.
After seeing off the new emperor and everyone in the palace, she looked at the boxes neatly placed on the tables, still a little dazed. She had never thought about entering the palace, but she became one of the concubines. She never thought about taking charge.
Sixth Palace, but was forced to take over this job.
Everything was deviated from her original idea. She was dragged into an unfamiliar situation.
"My young master, don't worry. In this palace, it is a good thing to have someone to rely on." Mu Xiang added some tea for her.
There was a faint sound of water beating out of the celadon tea cup, the tea leaves were floating and sinking, and the newly added tea was blended into the unfinished water.
She was in a trance, and the itching in her throat interrupted her thoughts. She covered it with a handkerchief, and after she regained her breath, she whispered, "Let's go and watch."
Because everything was new and unfamiliar, and things in the harem were complicated, it took her several days to feel more familiar with it.
Last time, after the new emperor led her to recognize someone, the palace officials either restrained themselves or were just obedient, but they didn't cause any trouble. On the contrary, a few of them reported others to seek favors from her.
Ruan Yuyi turned the bracelet on her wrist, and the white jade bracelet had been warmed by the warmth.
Next, the nanny spoke in detail. She lowered her eyes and listened, and then she roughly understood the meaning.
At every palace banquet, if the servants working at the table were greedy for money, they would pretend to break the jade lamp by accident. The masters would naturally not care where the broken jade pieces went, and they would fall into those people's pockets.
There is no need to mention it once or twice, but if you leave it alone, it will inevitably corrupt the atmosphere in the palace. By then everyone will be like this, and it will be a huge loss when accumulated.
After hearing this, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "You don't have to judge whether it was intentional or not. If you break a cup or a cup in the future, you will be compensated according to the price."
The grandma was startled, "This -"
"If there are any other difficulties, let's discuss it later." If these words are put out, those people will know that they will not get any profit from it and will not do it again. As for the unintentional ones, whether they really need to make compensation is a matter of secrets.
.
The nun glanced at the master at the top and saw that her expression was indifferent. Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through her and she praised with a smile, "The young master is smart, I will pass on the message right now."
