The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

In the main hall of Jingyang Palace.

Jiang Shiying sat down at the top, while the palace maids and eunuchs stood in two rows below. The leading eunuch was a familiar face.

"This servant pays homage to the concubine."

"Let's all get back together." Jiang Shiying looked at the eunuch standing at the front and asked, "Yu Chengyi, why are you here?"

This is the eunuch Cheng Yiyu, who originally served in the Shoukang Palace. Jiang Shiying had some interactions with him when she stayed at Shoukang Palace a while ago.

Hearing Jiang Shiying's words, Yu Chengyi's face was full of smiles, and he said: "After the decree to appoint you as a concubine came down, the Queen Mother ordered your godfather to choose a trustworthy chief eunuch for you. No, slave. But I won over many people before I got the opportunity to serve you."

Yu Chengyi's godfather was Liu Baoshan, the eunuch of Shoukang Palace.

What he said was not false, Jiang Shiying was a hot spot known to everyone. The eunuchs in Shoukang Palace learned that the Queen Mother was going to choose someone to come to Jiang Shiying. It was like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, and they all wanted to seize this opportunity.

After all, although it is good to stay in Shoukang Palace, Liu Baoshan will always be there above your head, and it is really difficult to get over.

But it was different here with Jiang Shiying. Everyone in Shoukang Palace knew that the Queen Mother valued her very much. Coupled with her unparalleled beauty, a man must be attracted by her. If you come to serve in Jingyang Palace, you may become the number one eunuch in the harem one day.

Jiang Shiying said with emotion: "The Queen Mother has always cared about me. She takes these little things into consideration and makes arrangements for me."

Yu Chengyi said: "What you said is true. But let me tell you, it's also because you are nice in everything and make people love you. I have been in the palace for so many years, but I have never seen the Queen Mother treat others so differently." .”

As he spoke, he gently tapped his chin in the direction of Fengyi Palace: "It's the same even for that person."

Jiang Shiying knew that his words were half sincere and half flattering, so she pointed her finger at him: "You."

Then he said seriously: "Since you have come to Jingyang Palace, I will help you from now on."

Yu Chengyi gave her a big salute directly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, from now on, this slave will be your Majesty's, and I will be willing to work hard for your Majesty."

Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "I have remembered these words. Get up and let's look forward to the future."

Then, Jiang Shiying asked the others to introduce themselves, what their names were, and where they used to work.

Three of the four maids came from the Sixth Bureau of the Inner Palace, one from the Shangfu Bureau, one from the Shangshi Bureau, and one from the Shanggong Bureau.

There is another one, which is even more amazing. He actually comes from Ganquan Palace. This was Lu Zhaolin's obvious intention to let her go, not only to stare at her, but also to take care of her.

The five young eunuchs are not simple either. Except for two who followed Yu Chengyi from Shoukang Palace, the other four are from the Thirteenth Internal Eunuch Division.

It can be seen that Jiang Shiying's Jingyang Palace is really hot now. No one with any background or connections can even get in.

Jiang Shiying listened to their introduction and said calmly: "Since you have come to my Jingyang Palace, no matter what background you have in the past, what your origins are, and whether there are other masters behind you, all of them will be given to me. Take your heart back.

If you do your job well, I won't treat you badly. But if you have other small thoughts, don't blame me for making ugly remarks, then there is only a dead end. "

The people in the palace knelt down one after another, saying words of loyalty.

"Okay, everyone, get up. Qiu Yu, give each of them a red seal."

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward."

As soon as Jiang Shiying changed into lighter clothes, a palace maid came to report that it was Zhang Guiren from the West Wing Hall who came to pay her respects to the empress.

Jiang Shiying didn't make her wait any longer and had someone lead her into the flower hall.

Zhang Guiren came in and looked at Jiang Shiying who was sitting at the top, but he just stood there in a daze.

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Jiang Shiying just smiled and said, "What's wrong with Zhang Guiren? I'm not that man-eating tiger, so why did I scare Zhang Guiren?"

Zhang Guiren came to his senses and quickly saluted her and said: "I pay my respects to the empress and wish her peace."

Then, with a sincere face, she said: "Please forgive me, I don't mean to offend you. It's just that your Majesty is too beautiful. I was stunned for a moment."

Jiang Shiying smiled again and said: "Okay, no courtesy, get up and sit down. Qiu Yu, show Zhang Guiren some tea."

"Thank you, empress."

Zhang Guiren thanked him and sat on Jiang Shiying's right hand side.

"Did Mr. Zhang come here for business today?" Jiang Shiying asked.

"The concubine used to live alone in Jingyang Palace. Now the empress has taken charge of the main hall of Jingyang Palace and has become the empress in charge of our Jingyang Palace. The concubine has a backbone, so she naturally wants to pay her respects."

After Zhang Guiren finished speaking, he took a brocade box from the hand of the palace maid behind him. The brocade box was opened, and inside was an extremely bright hairpin with emerald cloud patterns.

This hairpin is really beautiful and quite expensive, and it really doesn't match Zhang Guiren's decent but slightly ordinary clothes. It looks like it's the best thing in her bag.

Sure enough, I heard Zhang Guiren say: "My concubine has a low status and doesn't have anything good to offer. This hairpin was rewarded by His Majesty when I was promoted to the noble rank."

As he said that, he saw a bit of nostalgia in her eyes, but still said: "The queen concubine is admitted to the palace, and I would like to use this as a congratulatory gift to show my sincerity."

"I accept your wish, but you should take the hairpin back." Jiang Shiying said.

This hairpin is indeed good, but to her, there is nothing special about it.

Mrs. Jiang and Concubine Hui always treated her like a stick and a sweet date. Therefore, since she was a child, she has always had good food and clothing, and there is no shortage of good things.

Now that she has entered the palace, Jiang Pengyuan has also prepared a lot of gold and silver for her. Not to mention that the thirty-six dowries prepared by the Ministry of Rites are not just for good looks.

"You are the queen in charge of this concubine. I will rely on your care in the future. Please accept this hairpin." Zhang Guiren said sincerely.

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "As soon as I entered the palace, I took the beloved thing of a low-ranking concubine. What would it be like to spread this word?"

After hearing what she said, Zhang Guiren quickly stood up and explained: "I didn't mean this."

"I know you don't mean this." Jiang Shiying comforted her: "Don't worry, there are palace rules in this palace. As long as you don't break the rules, I am not the kind of person who likes to bully the weak."

After speaking, Jiang Shiying picked up the tea cup.

Zhang Guiren knew that she was going to serve tea to see the guests off, so he said goodbye sensibly and left.

After she left, Qiu Yu asked, "Zhang Guiren seems to be very precious about that hairpin, why would he be willing to give it away?"

Jiang Shiying took a sip of tea and said, "On the one hand, it is true as she said. I hope that I, the lady in charge, will take care of her and not cause trouble for her."

Then the voice changed: "But on the other hand, didn't she say it herself? That hairpin was awarded by His Majesty. She was hoping in her heart that if I wore that hairpin and His Majesty saw it, it might make His Majesty think It’s hard to say that she will get some favors as a person.”

Qiu Yu said angrily: "Ah, fortunately you didn't take it."

Jiang Shiying smiled: "Actually, even if I accept it and walk around with that hairpin in front of His Majesty every day, His Majesty may not be able to remember her."

"Why is this?" Qiu Yu asked.

"Let your sister Ah Yuan tell you." Jiang Shiying said.

"Your Majesty may not be able to remember Mr. Zhang, but Eunuch Yao in front of the emperor may recognize the hairpin."

Ah Yuan first joked, and then explained seriously: "Zhang Guiren does not seem to have been favored. It is unlikely that His Majesty will personally choose the reward for her. He probably just asked Eunuch Yao to do it for her."

Jiang Shiying nodded: "That's right."

Qiu Yu suddenly realized: "It's true that in this palace, one thing has to take eight hundred turns."

"Who says it isn't?" Jiang Shiying laughed.

Before dinner, the young eunuch from the reception room came to tell him that Your Majesty had turned over Jiang Shiying's brand tonight.
