The next day was a sunny day. Xiao Fenzi stood on the steps in front of Chengqian Palace with her eyes squinted, her hands behind her back, and her feet spread apart.
Now except for the master, no one among the servants in Chengqian Palace dares to call him "Xiao Fenzi". Only a few people still call him "Fenzi".
Several ordinary handyman eunuchs even called themselves "Eunuch Fen".
Although the emperor's later statement was very ambiguous, he was asked to "try it out" first.
But Xiao Fenzi knew very well that as long as he performed well, and the concubine Chen was playing drums and blowing the wind for the emperor, and "trying" and "trying", the position of the leader eunuch would be inseparable.
Xiao Fenzi had no ink in his stomach, but he still understood the truth - when he was serving his master, he often heard the emperor say, "I sincerely ask for it. Even if you don't get it, it's not far away."
As long as you try your best to do anything, even if you don't achieve your goal for a while, you won't be far from your goal.
Regarding the personnel situation in Chengqian Palace, the atmosphere has been tense since the day Fenzi took office.
In fact, the servants all knew that the emperor's intention that day was to let the concubine Chen take good care of the people in the Qian Palace - to bring in the useful people as soon as possible.
Useless people - switch to unimportant errands.
If it is no longer useful, just wrap it up and drive it out. There is no need to keep it in Chengqian Palace.
If it is useful, keep it; if it is useless, leave it.
Everyone could see it: if he wasn't afraid that the concubine would be soft-hearted, the emperor had actually been ready to make a drastic change in the personnel of Chengqian Palace.
The slaves who had a sense of crisis became panicked and scrambled to hug the empress's thigh tightly - working as an errand for the concubine is the best job in the entire Forbidden City.
Never get kicked out!
Feeling the disturbance, Evian and Yiquan went to find "Eunuch Fen" in panic.
In fact, since Yiquan came to the concubine Chen's side, she has been showing her kindness to Xiaofenzi frequently.
At first, Xiao Dazi was still confused, but ended up watching Yiquan many times delivering food to Xiao Fenzi, doing laundry, helping to tidy up, and finding various topics to talk to Xiao Fenzi.
Every time I dress up fresh and fresh, like a flower.
Xiao Fenzi, on the other hand, has always been indifferent to Yiquan and never gave other girls a few smiles.
The more he behaves like this, the more Yiquan keeps coming here like a moth to a flame.
No matter how dull Xiao Dazi was, he gradually realized the meaning - he thought along this line, then looked at Xiao Fenzi's expression towards Bixue, and when they were linked together, he suddenly understood everything.
When Yiquan came over again, Xiao Dazi always became very busy. He claimed that there was something wrong in the dining room and was no longer in the servant room. Instead, he actually hid in the dining room.
He washed the green vegetable leaves one by one and stamped the stuffings and dumplings on the chopping board, but he felt a little confused that even he himself didn't understand.
He shook his head, trying to get rid of the confusion that came from nowhere in his heart, but it was in vain.
…
After Yiquan and Yiyun went to ask for help sadly, Xiaofenzi gave some instructions, and the two palace maids began to run towards the concubine.
Especially Evian, who used to be most afraid of answering in front of her master, and always loved to hide behind Qixi and Bixue.
Even when her master left her in the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace when he went to the Old Summer Palace, she actually felt a little relieved.
At this juncture, she finally realized the importance of reporting, communicating and communicating in front of her superiors.
Eunuch Fen said: When you are on duty in the Forbidden City, even if you have nothing to do, you still have to come up with something, create some topics, and go to the master more often.
If the master doesn't look at your face more often, how can he remember you?
The master doesn’t remember you. How could she think of you when she has tasks and important errands?
If you can't get the task, how can you show your ability and your brain?
If you don't show off, why will the master think of you when he mentions someone?
Xiaofenzi's words left Evian and Yiquan speechless and thought they were right.
Xiao Fenzi finally glanced at Yiquan, with a slight smile in her eyes, and thought to herself: If you spend half of the effort and thought you usually spend on me on the master, you won't be so worried now.
.
…
In Ji Ling's view: Evian is a very taciturn, honest girl who always immerses herself in work, quite like a young lady.
After coming to Evian for a long time, Ji Ling gradually had a vague impression of this girl, but every time he thought about her, he still felt that she was a "new" person.
On this day, after Ji Ling dressed up, she sat in the main hall and had breakfast.
When the servants finished serving her meal and put away the dining table, Evian came up with a smile on her face.
She was a little nervous and stammered when she spoke, but she still made it clear.
She was holding some clothes in her hands - they were made for Qilin.
If you can't get in front of the master to please others, you can only start with the dog that pleases the master to open up the situation.
"The slave looked at the clothes that Qilin wore, and there were often small decorations and sequins on them. The slave thought - Master, you told the mama and wet nurse before that all the accessories on the body should be removed.
To avoid being accidentally eaten by the princess."
Evian paused and then said: "I saw that the third princess loved the unicorn very much, and I was often worried about the beads on the unicorn, so I made these small clothes. I am not good at craftsmanship, but it is because I care for the third princess.
Please don’t dislike it, Master.”
She lowered her head and stretched out her hand to offer the clothes. Ji Ling took it and unfolded it on her knees. It turned out that it was all smooth and the same color material. There were no decorations from beginning to end. There was only a cloud buckle at the collar to fix it.
The buttons have no beads at all, they are just piled up with threads and sewn together seven or eight times, so they are absolutely impossible to pull off.
Evian saw her master holding the puppy clothes and looking at it carefully for a while, and then he kindly asked her to keep the remaining clothes.
Evian took a breath in his heart and thought that he should ask Xiao Fenzi for advice earlier. It is no wonder that he can become the chief eunuch.
As soon as Evian retreated, Yiquan came up to report softly, not daring to raise his voice for fear of being heard by the two maids Qixi and Bixue - he only said that he had learned a new style of bun and it was very special.
Beautiful, I wonder if I can give it to my master to try?
Ji Ling thought: Combing your hair? You showed such effort and even chose to comb your hair. It seems different from Evian.
Evian just wants to stay and stay in Chengqian Palace.
Yiquan wants to enter the Nuan Pavilion.
Originally, there were only Qixi, Bixue and Nanny Chen in Nuange, so the wet nurse could come in and take care of them personally.
But since the third princess was born, people have been needed to serve the little master.
Especially when the third princess burst into tears and made a fuss, several people circled around the little ancestor - the people in the Nuan Pavilion sometimes seemed nervous.
After entering the Nuan Pavilion, she was at least a second-class palace maid. The third princess is still with her mother. She will grow up later. When the emperor comes over, she will be very romantic. It is not good for the third princess to stay in the small bed all the time. Sooner or later she will have to move out.
of.
If you move out, you will live in another pavilion and become your own entity. Now that you can squeeze in and serve next to the princess, it may not be a good way out.
