Return or not

Li Mo went to court, and Shuanghua brought in a group of maids, "Princess, these are the best maids that Eunuch Kang picked from all over the place to serve you."

Die Wu smiled, "There are so many people? It's good to have you serving, there is no need to add so many people, let's go back to each place."

All the maids knelt down together, "I beg your empress not to think the slaves are vulgar, and it's okay to leave some rough work, but don't drive the slaves back."

"This? Why is this?" Die Wu quickly got up to help them, and they were even more afraid to get up.

Shuanghua explained, "This is because after they are brought by Eunuch Kang, their positions will be quickly filled. If the Princess doesn't accept them, they will have to go to the Punishment Department to pound rice."

After hearing this, Diewu was a little embarrassed, "Shuanghua, then you assign a few to serve the other concubines in the harem, give one to you, leave three or four as rough envoys, you will serve me in my daily life"

They listened and were grateful. Shuanghua left five, three of whom were in charge of rough envoys, the other two served Die Wu's daily life, and the rest came by themselves.

Shuanghua helped Diewu change her clothes, and Diewu asked, "Didn't I give you one, why don't you?" Shuanghua smiled softly, "I'm used to serving the princess, and I don't like others to serve me."

There were two standing beside them, one was still young, estimated to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Who are they?" "I left two to serve the princess. After all, if I'm no longer with the princess, there should be one or two girls who will take care of you." Shuanghua tied her belt, and Die Wu grabbed it in a panic. Shuanghua, "Why aren't you here? Where are you going?"

Shuanghua was stunned for a moment, "I don't go anywhere, but sometimes I will go out of the palace to buy things, and there must be someone who is willing to take care of me." Die Wu then let go, "I thought you were going to leave me, shopping Let them go"

Shuanghua smiled softly, "That's impossible. Only I know which one is the best for the princess's favorite butterflies; how much beef and green onions to put in my favorite beef noodles; what kind of accessories I like, etc., only I know. What about artificial hands?" Die Wu also laughed, "Poor mouth"

A girl next to her said, "I remember it"

Shuanghua walked up to her, "What a smart girl, I've let the Princess like her, but you guys are going to steal my job?!"

The girl smiled "Don't dare dare"

Die Wu asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"

One answered "Slave Chu Luan, 13 years old"

The girl who answered the conversation was clever and clever, "I am a servant without a name, I beg the empress to give her a name."

Shuanghua looked at the girl and thought to herself, "She really knows how to read words and expressions."

Diewu saw this girl's delicate eyebrows, especially the light eyebrows, as if covered by a layer of light smoke, stretched like gauze, slightly frowned like a Xi Shi, with a round tear mole under her eyes, Fan Sukou, shaved shoulders, Xiaoman The waist and temperament are different, while the young Luan looks ordinary and small in description.

Die Wu said, "A girl's eyebrows are like smoke, why not name it with 'smoke'? When I was a child, I heard many poems with smoke in the Central Plains, and my favorite is 'the desert is solitary, the long river is full of sun', just like my Zichuan frontier."

Shuanghua laughed, "The Princess is homesick..."

"Why don't you name it Moyan? How about it?" "No," Shuanghua stopped, "The word 'Mo' violates His Majesty's name taboo, so don't use it indiscriminately."

Die Wu was stunned, "Break a taboo?" She thought to herself, "Then last night, I called him Mo, and he agreed..." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush.

Bo Yan said, "The princess has a different vision after all, but since I want to avoid taboos, I still have to choose another one." He lowered his head and thought for a while, "The slave girl was born in the south, and I heard Mr. Shushu say the phrase 'The smoke cage is cold and the water is moon Longsha, Yebo Qinhuai near the restaurant' I think the scene is very beautiful, why not name it from it: Qin Boyan... how about it?"

When Shuanghua heard this, an imperceptible trace of worry flashed across his face.

"Qin Boyan...it's a good name. If I named you without permission, won't your family be unhappy?" Die Wu asked, with sadness in Bo Yan's eyes, "The family was separated in the war ten years ago, Madam It's a slave's luck to be willing to name her slave."

Die Wu was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry."

Bo Yan put on a smile again, "I don't blame the empress, it's been ten years, it's the slaves who are too sentimental"

"Princess, all the empresses will come to pay their respects, let them prepare to welcome them." Shuanghua separated the two and said, and the two girls agreed to go on.

Shuanghua looked at Bo Yan and thought, "She's a smart girl, but..."

Shuanghua tidied up Die Wu again, "When the ladies come, the princess must not be stage frightened, she must establish the majesty of the master of the harem, she must call herself 'my palace' and treat them like sisters."

"Obviously they don't like each other, but it's so hard to understand." Die Wu pursed her mouth.

Shuanghua sighed, "Okay, the princess is still like a child"

After explaining, she supported Die Wu to sit down, among the two maidservants, Bo Yan came in to serve, and Chu Luan went to make tea.

The concubines from all the palaces came in one after another, not as much as Die Wu thought, there were only three of them.

"Greetings to Empress Empress~" "Let's get back on your feet" "Thank Empress Empress"

"I... I have entered the palace not long ago, and my concubines... sisters... I have never visited, and I have troubled my sisters to come here today. It is really because I didn't think carefully, please forgive me."

One of them hurriedly said, "Where is the word? The empress has a noble status, and the wedding is in a hurry. It is a blessing for the concubine to think of the concubine. How dare the empress worry about it. In the future, the empress will have to teach her a lot. The concubine will definitely understand." Let the empress follow the lead!"

"You are..." "The concubine is Zuixi Palace, Concubine Duan"

"Sister Duan, sit down." Concubine Duan is not very old, probably only in her twenties, but she looks old, there are fine lines around her eyes, she has applied a layer of powder, but she can't hide her haggard face.

"It's Sister Duan after all, she entered the palace early and knows how to please the empress. The empress only said a word, and the elder sister has so many polite words to answer. I am ashamed of myself." The other concubine looked contemptuous, like Concubine Duan. Angry "You..."

"The concubine is the Liuli Palace, the talented dancer" the talented dancer said to himself.

The talented dancer wears heavy make-up, with coquettish eyebrows, slightly raised corners of the eyes, flowing eyes, extremely charming, and gorgeously dressed, even the maid next to him is wearing gold and silver, and even somewhat overwhelms the concubine next to him.

Concubine Duan murmured secretly, "Humeizi..." Shuanghua smiled.

"My empress is so precious, it's not easy to think of my concubines, how dare I ask my empress to take more care of me? From now on, I have to ask my empress to show mercy and let us have a place to stand on."

Die Wu was stunned, and Shuanghua frowned, "Wu Cairen's words are serious, our princess has been generous since childhood, let alone a place, even if it is all the favors in the entire harem, Wu Cairen wants it, the princess will not be stingy." , our princess has the capacity to tolerate people, but I am afraid that the dancer will take the belly of a gentleman..."

"You! What is your identity, dare to talk to me like this?! You didn't know where you were when I entered the palace. I have served the emperor for many years. I haven't seen any favors. How can I care about you? Hmph..." Wu Cairen laughed, full of disdain.

"Then what is your identity, dare to be presumptuous in front of the empress?! You have been in the palace for a long time, which means you are old! How can you compare to our empress who is young and beautiful? Besides, you were just a dancer when you entered the palace. Pretty, so old-fashioned, dare to use it to talk? It’s okay to fool a few new servants, but you can’t get on the high platform! It’s far less dignified than Duanfei Empress, who seals a young talent, and it’s only a month’s favor. Why has Your Majesty ever been there again? How can a dancing girl compare with the body of our empress? Sister Shuanghua has given you grace by talking to you. In the final analysis, she is no match for the same kind of people as us. , are slaves!"

Concubine Duan's face beamed with joy at Bo Yan's words, Shuanghua frowned, Concubine Wu's face flushed red, she sat down fiercely, and slapped the table, "Sure enough, she is eloquent, worthy of being educated in the queen's palace! The empress supports you? You are walking sideways? Such a slave, empress empress, this concubine should teach you well, clap your hands and slap your mouth!"

The maid next to her was hindering Die Wu, so she didn't dare to do anything, and Wu Cairen couldn't bear it, and slapped the maid, "Stupid slave! Don't you even dare to slap a third-class maid?"

Shuanghua went to relieve the siege, "Bo Yan, you are talking too much!" Then pulled Laoxi, "If the talented dancer wants to teach the court lady, please go back to the palace and teach him a lesson. This is in front of Fengjia, how can you and I be rude? Besides, Miss Laoxi, With a beautiful appearance, dressed in noble manners, she has the slightest demeanor of a dancer, treat each other like this, don't hurt the sisterhood!" Shuanghua subtly lowered the identity of the dancer, and the dancer was about to explode.

It just so happened that Chuluan made tea, and Shuanghua served the tea with a smile, "Wu Cairen drinks tea, thin smoke, which was sent by Mrs. Kang today. It hasn't passed yet, so why is it about the empress? After all, Is Wu Cairen questioning Eunuch Kang's vision?"

Everyone in the palace knows that Eunuch Kang was a person close to the former emperor. Li Mo strangled all his party members when he massacred the city. He has won Li Mo's trust, and it is impossible to do it without some ability. In the palace, he is under one person, above ten thousand people, and no one dares to offend.

Shuanghua's words undoubtedly put Wu Cairen under the sword. Wu Cairen panicked, and his hands shaking when receiving the tea, "I...I didn't mean that..." Shuanghua winked at Die Wu .

"I believe that Wu Cairen doesn't mean that. Whether the servants teach or not depends on each department. After a long time, each palace will get used to it. What does it have to do with us, right? Wu Cairen~" Die Wu said with a smile , Wucai's head is buried very low.

"Young lady, don't you thank the talented dancer?" Bo Yan teased, and Shuanghua's eyes were serious, "Bo Yan, you have overstepped."

Bo Yan lowered her head, "Yes..."

"Don't bother Your Majesty with the affairs of the harem. From now on, I will be responsible for everything in the harem. All food and clothing expenses will be in charge of Shuanghua. Accounts will be checked once a month. Any expenditures that violate the palace rules will be dealt with according to the palace rules, regardless of seniority! Today's matter is not allowed to spread outside, if the palace hears the news outside, it will be punished severely! Do you hear me clearly?"

Wu Cairen swallowed when she heard that the accounts were to be audited.

"Remember the empress's teachings!" The three saluted.

Wu Cairen thanked her kindly and withdrew first, and Concubine Duan also left.

Another concubine got up to leave, but Die Wu hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, stop, I was in a hurry just now, don't you know my sister's title?"

The concubine lowered her head shyly, "Concubine, Nephrite Palace, Concubine Wen"

"Sister Wen... I need to take care of her more in the future." Die Wu nodded, and Concubine Wen also nodded and left.

Die Wu didn't hold her chest until they were all gone, "I was scared to death, it was too depressing... Fortunately, there is Shuanghua"

Shuanghua smiled softly, "The majesty of the princess has been established, but it must be carefully maintained, and you must not make too many enemies..." Looking at Bo Yan, "Bo Yan is loyal to protect the lord, go down and receive the reward."

Bo Yan: "This is a servant's job. I dare not accept the reward. The servant speaks rudely. I need Sister Shuanghua to teach me more."

"Go down..." "Yes..."

Shuanghua looked at Bo Yan and thought to himself: she is more than clever, but her words embarrass Wu Cairen everywhere, which is not good for the princess, so she needs to be taught more.

Shuanghua looked at Bo Yan's back, lowered her head, and smiled mysteriously. The second half of the poem reads: The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, and she still sings "□□ Flower" across the river...
