An Lingrong entered the palace and brought two maids with her like Zhen Huan. This time she also brought Baoqin and Baoqi into the palace.

Baoshu stayed outside the palace to earn money and also to do some things outside the palace.

The lease of the courtyard I rented previously will expire in more than a month, and I will not renew it after that.

If there is a chance in the future, An Lingrong plans to buy a small courtyard with two entrances. If An's mother lives longer than An Bihuai, then she will bring An's mother to the capital to live in her old age.

When they arrived in front of Suiyu Pavilion, Cui Jinxi and Kang Luhai, along with the eunuchs and palace maids, immediately stepped forward and knelt down to pay their respects: "Your servants greet the young lady."

An Lingrong supported Baoqin and gently called everyone to stand up: "Stand up."

Everyone thanked in unison: "Thank you, young master."

Cui Jinxi stepped forward and said, "I am Cui Jinxi, the head maid of Suiyuxuan."

Kang Luhai then said, "I am Kang Luhai, the eunuch chief of Suiyuxuan."

Baoqi received An Lingrong's signal and stepped forward to give each of them a purse.

After receiving the reward, Kang Luhai and Cui Jinxi knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, my slave, for the reward."

Cui Jinxi stood up and said, "My lady, you have worked hard on the journey. Your palace has been arranged. Please follow me."

An Lingrong nodded slightly and walked in front to lead the way.

Seeing Cui Jinxi leading An Lingrong to the main hall, An Lingrong stopped and glanced at Baoqin.

Baoqin and Baoqi had learned the palace rules by heart. When Baoqin received An Lingrong's gaze, she said to Cui Jinxi, "Aunt Jinxi, is the East Side Hall in front of us?"

Cui Jinxi turned around and said, "The main hall in front has been cleaned. Please go to the main hall and move in."

Baoqin: "Aunt Jinxi, has the East Side Hall been cleaned?"

Cui Jinxi was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "The East Side Hall has also been cleaned. Please follow me this way, young lady."

After An Lingrong entered the East Side Hall, she sat down in the main hall and said to everyone, "Everyone in the East Side Hall, please come forward and report your names."

The four palace maids, Pin'er, Pei'er, Jingqing, Juqing, as well as Xiao Hezi and Xiao Lianzi, stepped forward one by one to pay their respects and register.

After the palace maids and eunuchs reported their names, An Lingrong asked Baoqi to give them another reward.

An Lingrong did not give a lecture to everyone. She asked everyone to perform their duties first and then see whether their responsibilities should be changed after seven days.

After they left, An Lingrong saw Cui Jinxi and Kang Luhai were still there, so she said to Baoqin, "Send Aunt Jinxi and Director Kang away."

After hearing this, Cui Jinxi and Kang Luhai looked at each other, and Cui Jinxi said, "The young master does not have enough manpower around him, and I am willing to stay and serve you."

An Lingrong took the teacup handed over by Baoqin, skimmed the tea leaves with the lid, and said calmly, "Aunt Jingxi must have been in the palace for quite some time. I am new to the palace and am not familiar with the palace rules. I need to ask the Empress whether I can keep Aunt Jingxi here."

After hearing this, Cui Jinxi knelt down and said, "It was my fault for speaking carelessly. Please don't alarm Her Majesty the Queen for such a small matter."

An Lingrong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "Then I'll do as my aunt says."

Baoqin stepped forward and helped Cui Jinxi up, and Kang Luhai said, "I will not disturb you any more." After that, Kang Luhai and Cui Jinxi left together.

An Lingrong watched the two men's backs and thought to herself: These two people are not good people. Kang Luhai is a fence-sitter and is not worth investing in at all.

Cui Jinxi said that she had served a concubine, but she didn't say which concubine it was. She had been in the palace for so long that she had learned all the rules. If she was used, she would be blamed sooner or later.
