The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 48: Bull and Jiao Kejing (Part 2)

The servants of Yuqing Palace gathered together quickly. Bu Erhe did not speak to Ke Jing anymore, but just asked her to watch carefully and he would explain the doubts to her later.

Although today's meeting was convened temporarily by Bull, it is only two days away from this month's selection, so this month's selection was moved directly to today.

First, the small leaders of each institute began to give a work summary, which was simple and clear, explaining all the contributions made after one month's work. Then came the sub-leaders, and finally the general leader.

After the speech, a small performance scoring team appeared. This team was not large in number and was mainly used to verify performance and distribute bonuses for the month. The roster had been checked several times and there was no problem. The following personnel came forward in the order at the beginning to receive the bonus and sign or put their fingerprints.

After a set of procedures, the next step is punishment. The first thing here is self-punishment, not in a sequential order, but spontaneously, explaining why you made a mistake and the reasons. However, the entire self-explanation can be completed within one minute at most.

If they report it themselves, they will pay half of the fine, and then they will automatically go to the performance team to pay the fine, sign or put their fingerprints on it.

Finally, the most exciting and tense moment of the month is the exposure. This time, there are fewer people, and the exposure must clearly explain the cause, process, result and impact of the matter. If it is just a guess, it will not be accepted. Once is forgiven, the second time will be directly fined.

Of course, if the person exposed is found out, he will be fined or demoted at the very least, or sent directly back to the Ministry of Punishment at the most serious level.

The status of palace maids in the Qing Dynasty was quite high, and concubines were not allowed to punish them corporally at will. This was related to the fact that many ladies in the palace were born as palace maids. In order to avoid this, the Yuqing Palace did not impose corporal punishment, but directly fined them. In serious cases, the fines were directly sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

Don't think that you have escaped punishment by being sent back to the Ministry of Punishment. On the contrary, the fine is not a problem. It is easy to get rewards and fines in Yuqing Palace. However, once you enter the Ministry of Punishment, it means that you are a legal and legitimate object of corporal punishment. It can be said that anyone who enters the Ministry of Punishment will suffer a heavy blow even if he does not die.

Moreover, even if you survive the Ministry of Punishment and come out alive, you will only be assigned to places like the Laundry Bureau and the Night Fragrance Room. The competition there is the most brutal. You don’t have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear. The monthly salary will be embezzled by the senior palace maids and eunuchs above you. Many people who enter there basically do not live to the age of leaving the palace.

Let’s talk about Yuqing Palace again. There was a limit on the number of times the palace maids could be fined. Because Yuqing Palace was a little more lenient, it gave the palace maids three chances to be fined. If they were fined more than three times, they would be directly demoted. If they were demoted more than three times, they would be directly sent back to the Ministry of Punishment.

With this mechanism constantly restraining them, as long as they work honestly in Yuqing Palace, they will not only receive their monthly allowance on time but also an extra bonus every month, not to mention new clothes every month and food rewards from time to time.

Of course, if there are those with ulterior motives, as long as they are not so-called die-hards, they will soon be caught or assimilated into Yuqing Palace and become a part of Yuqing Palace.

Humans are social animals. When you find yourself out of tune with your surroundings, you will subconsciously imitate and try to fit in instead of being more unique.

There is a very good saying, which Bull and I also agree with the most, that is, if a lie persists for a lifetime, then it becomes the truth.

The servants in Yuqing Palace do not need to be truly loyal to Yuqing Palace, but as long as they behave properly throughout their lives and do not betray Yuqing Palace, who can say that they are not loyal to Yuqing Palace?

The whole process lasted for an hour. Bull and others were drinking tea leisurely beside him. Only Ke Jing, who was seeing this scene for the first time, was watching and thinking with great interest.

At the end of the process, based on the performance and comprehensive evaluation of the previous month and this month, the performance team quickly announced the results of the current month. There were some minor changes in personnel, which were basically lateral transfers or new people taking up positions. Since no one had any objections, these changes took effect on the spot.

The matter ended here. Everyone saluted Buerhe and Kejing and left the main courtyard in an orderly manner.

After everyone disappeared at the main courtyard gate, Ke Jing couldn't help but grab Bu Erhe's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you are amazing. How did you do that? Please teach me quickly. I want to learn."

Buerhe patted Kejing's hand with a smile and said, "Calm down. Didn't I ask you to come here today just to take a look? I'll teach you in a moment. Now let's go have lunch. If you're not sleepy after lunch, we can go to the study and talk. What do you think?"

When Burhe mentioned having a meal, Kejing realized that it was already noon. He let go of Burhe's hand embarrassedly and went to the main hall with Burhe.

Ke Jing's excitement continued and he didn't want to take a nap for a long time. After lunch, he went to see the twins. Buerhe had no choice but to cancel his plan to take a nap today and walked into the study under Ke Jing's expectant eyes.

Buerhe: "Sister Kejing, please sit down first. Let me tell you how I started..."

Another half an hour was spent on clearly explaining the entire process from groping to success. At the same time, Buerhe also talked about the mistakes that would occur in the process. These were Buerhe's own summary, which could not be bought outside. Ke Jing's eyes lit up when he listened, and he wanted to take paper and pen to write it down.

Buerhe reached out to stop her and took something that looked like a diary from a shelf on the side of the study. "This is what I wrote down a while ago about my experience and feelings from taking over Yuqing Palace to its current mature stage. If you are interested, I can give it to you."

Ke Jing stood up suddenly, ran to Buerhe and hugged her: "Second sister-in-law, I want it, I want it, thank you so much."

It can be said that even the mistress of a large family would not teach these things casually, unless you are her own daughter. It is human nature for the Crown Princess to keep this booklet and pass it on to Jingyi, but today the Crown Princess selflessly gave it to Kejing. What a great move.

At this moment, Ke Jing elevated Burhe to the lowest level in her heart, on the same level as her late mother, Guiren Guo Luoluo. It could be said that if Burhe had any instructions in the future, as long as they did not threaten herself, she would definitely obey them.

Bu Erhe didn't expect that he would gain a little fan girl just by teaching some modern management methods, but the result was gratifying, and she silently accepted Ke Jing's surrender.

There was a lot to teach today, so Buerhe asked Kejing to go back and digest it first. After a few days, she could come to Yuqing Palace for actual observation. Practice makes perfect. At that time, Buerhe would let her directly participate in the specific affairs of several managers around her and let her personally participate in how to manage.

That night, Buerhe and the prince talked about what Kejing said in Zi'a's study today. Yinreng was not surprised at all. Kejing was a smart man, but his own princess had that kind of magic. As long as it was something she wanted to accomplish, or someone she wanted to get close to, the other party would always get what she wanted in the end.

Of course, those who harbored ill intentions from the beginning were excluded, specifically the Fifth Princess and Concubine De. Even Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, despite their different positions and their own targeted intentions, actually did not dislike Buerhe in their hearts, and even agreed with the emperor's words that Buerhe was a good daughter-in-law and a good wife.

The teaching came to an end, and two days later, when Buerhe went to the Qianqing Palace to report the dowry list to Kangxi, he encountered a small problem.

That is, Kangxi had doubts about Buerhe's decision to cancel the trial marriage system and replace it with pulse diagnosis by imperial physicians, and asked Buerhe to explain the reason.

Bu Erhe really couldn't say it at the time. It was her own selfish desire. She and the prince had been just the two of them from the beginning, with no other women involved. She wanted the fourth princess to enjoy this treatment as well, at least without the so-called trial marriage princess between the couple before they got married.

However, according to the royal family, there is nothing wrong with this provision in the Qing Palace rules. How can we understand the physical condition of the prince consort without trying it?

But Buerhe thought this was a bad habit. Couldn't the imperial physician also take the pulse?

The biggest problem now is how to convince the emperor to cancel it. This is just a test for the emperor. Buerhe's ultimate goal is to change the dowry nanny, or to directly cancel the nanny sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and replace her with the one chosen by the princess herself.

Even if the Imperial Household Department's governess was married off, her indentures remained with the Imperial Household Department. Without the indentures, the governess could still enforce the imperial rules of upbringing. Wouldn't that just give the princesses a few elders to keep around? In that case, would the princesses still be the masters of the Princess House after their marriage? Could Kejing still act as he pleased in Khalkha, as Yinreng had suggested?

Thinking of this, Bu Erhe decisively asked for help from her husband. She had a high status in the palace and held great power in Yuqing Palace, but outside of here, her power was basically zero. What's more, she was investigating the situations of princesses of past dynasties after they got married. Isn't that a fantasy for her now?

Yinreng returned to Yuqing Palace that afternoon and smiled as he handed Buerhe a small booklet. Seeing the thin booklet Yinreng had taken from her study, Buerhe was well aware that the Crown Prince had long known about this. This thought was probably the result of her late master's subtle influence. No wonder he'd been muttering about the "nursing nanny" in the background when she was drawing up the dowry list. It seemed he was setting her up to be the vanguard.

Thinking of this, Buerhe turned her hand, which had originally reached out to take the book, and twisted it directly to the soft flesh on Yinreng's waist. Buerhe smiled at Yinreng and said, "Master, do you have anything to say to me?"

Yinreng took a breath, but facing the inquiring looks from He Zhu and Qi'er, he quickly shut his mouth: My wife's hands are really strong, the flesh on her waist will definitely turn blue in a while.

However, the Crown Prince was in the wrong in this matter, and facing the anger of his wife, Yinreng did not dare to resist. Buerhe felt bored after pinching her for a while, so he let go, but he did not look at Yinreng anymore. Instead, he turned around and took Qi'er to the side hall to see the twins.

Their father himself did not want to see him at this moment, and there was no rush for the book. It would be better to use this time to go and see the children who were exploring the world. The nanny said that the twins had been raising their heads and stretching their calves these past two days, and it seemed that they wanted to get pregnant.

As the old saying goes, a baby rolls over at three months old, sits up at six months old, and crawls at eight years old. When the twin boys and girls were first born, they did weigh a little less than other babies born in the same pregnancy. However, after three or four months of hard work and growth, they have already caught up with their peers and even reached the highest level among their peers. So it is very normal for them to want to sit up now.

However, when Buerhe was young, he heard that babies' spines are not fully developed before they are six months old, and they can easily get injured if they sit for a long time. So even when the wet nurse mentioned this and wanted to teach the twins to sit up, Buerhe stopped her.

Look, as soon as Buerhe entered the side hall, he was discovered by the twins. He tried to turn over to attract her attention, stretched out his little hands, and babbled, which made Buerhe look at him with pity.

Buerhe couldn't help but picked up the big princess beside him and said, "My dear little mooncake, do you miss me?"

The eldest princess gave Buerhe a drooling smile, as if to say, "Mother, little Mooncake misses you so much."

Down below, the eldest brother, Tangyuan, saw that his beloved mother was only holding his sister and ignoring him. He suddenly turned over and babbled to Buerhe. Then, a pair of hands reached out from the side and picked up Tangyuan. Yinreng tapped Tangyuan's nose and said, "You, you are the brother, you should give in to your sister. Mother only has two hands, how can she hold you?"

As soon as Yinreng finished speaking, the little Tangyuan in his arms stretched out his hands towards the little Yuebing in Buerhe's arms. The brother and sister babbled in baby talk and drooled from time to time, forcing Buerhe and Yinreng to take the handkerchief from the wet nurse to wipe off the saliva.

The prince and his wife looked up at each other again, and had forgotten the scene in the study. They looked at each other lovingly, just enjoying the family happiness at the moment.
