An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 124: Shortage of Manpower
"Your Majesty, I have two things to say. The first is about the maid in my palace, who is responsible for serving me. She used to be calm and honest, and she did things properly. But recently, I don't know what happened. Not only has she become more and more careless, but she has also often committed crimes! I originally thought that when making spices, I could let her act as an assistant and help me complete some processes, but now I really don't dare to give her this task!"
An Lingrong looked at the Queen and immediately started to complain.
When the Queen first heard this, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She even wanted to follow An Lingrong's words and give Baojuan a good scolding.
However, before the Queen could speak, Jianqiu on the side had already sensed something was going on and pretended to cough a few times before the Queen spoke, actually hinting to the Queen that Baojuan was someone they bribed!
The Queen didn't notice this at first, but after Jianqiu's reminder, she immediately reacted and realized that something was wrong. She held back the words that were about to come out, and then said to An Lingrong: "An Changzai, as you said, such a girl is indeed not suitable to assist you in making spices. But I have a word in advance. No matter what problems you encounter in the process of making spices, you can talk to Jianqiu. You can also go to her for things like this!"
"Yes!" Jianqiu stood up immediately when she heard the Queen call her name, and said to An Lingrong, "My Lady An, I will obey the Queen's orders. No matter what you need my help, I will do my best to help you!"
"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration!"
An Lingrong complained for a long time, but she knew that she couldn't continue to be so tactless, otherwise it would upset the Queen.
Therefore, An Lingrong decided to quit while she was ahead and said, "In this case, I really have to trouble Aunt Jianqiu!"
"You say!"
Jianqiu had already received the Queen's order and understood the intention behind her master's actions.
Therefore, helping An Lingrong is equivalent to helping the Queen!
Jianqiu was clearly aware of the relationship between them, so when facing An Lingrong, she was naturally unambiguous.
"I would like to ask Aunt Jianqiu to assign me some more people. This way, I can focus on the research and Baojuan won't be too tired on weekdays."
An Lingrong calmly put forward her request.
This request sounded reasonable, and the Queen, who had originally thought that An Lingrong had realized that Baojuan had been bribed by her, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems like I'm worrying too much?
An Changzai has always been cautious and careful. Although she is not a stupid person, she is still very conservative at heart.
Even if An Lingrong really noticed that something was wrong, would she dare to reveal the truth?
I am the Empress of the Central Palace. Even if someone is as arrogant as Concubine Hua, she is only relying on the Emperor's favor to compete with me.
Look at other people, who is not respectful in front of me?
The Queen thought for a while, and then not only did she feel at ease again, but she even felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart because of the analogy of An Lingrong!
"By the way, if I remember correctly, An Changzai was assigned a maid when she first entered the palace. She is the one serving me now, right?"
The queen seemed as if she couldn't remember, and while she was talking, she started asking Jianqiu beside her.
"Yes! The Queen really cares about An Changzai and even remembers this matter clearly!"
Jianqiu was used to being the Queen's supporting actor. Knowing that the Queen wanted to show An Lingrong what it meant to be "gentle and gentle", she cooperated with An Lingrong perfectly.
An Lingrong witnessed this scene and remained silent.
Logically speaking, based on the acting skills of the Queen and Jian Qiu, if it was Zhen Huan who came over, she would be fooled and confused!
Just imagine, one is the high and mighty Lord of the Six Palaces, and the other is a maid who has no fixed destiny at all. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth, and they cannot be compared at all!
But such a noble being would actually remember what kind of palace maids were assigned to her when she first entered the palace, and even didn't add any later!
If this were An Lingrong in her previous life, she would feel that she was finally valued!
In this way, wouldn’t a sense of belonging arise naturally?
Therefore, when it comes to playing with people’s hearts, the Queen is truly a “master”.
Compared with her, Concubine Hua has no idea how to control her subordinates.
What she relied on, besides her own enormous strength to suppress and deter, was her extremely rough way of "using money"!
This method is certainly effective, but at some critical moments, it is inevitable that there are still drawbacks and it cannot be fully compensated.
"Thank you, Madam, for thinking of me. I really don't know what to say..."
An Lingrong felt the Queen's gaze drifting towards her, and she instantly activated her acting skills and immediately responded to the Queen's "concern".
"You are the emperor's concubines, which means you are my sisters. I care about you to share the emperor's worries. I hope you can serve the emperor better!"
The queen was very good at taking advantage of opportunities like this to win people's hearts. After she finished speaking, she turned to Jianqiu and said, "Jianqiu, you heard what Concubine An asked just now. Remember to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pick out two smart maids to serve you well. You don't have to go back in the future. Just stay in... Suiyuxuan!"
The Queen's meaning was very simple. Since An Lingrong asked her for help, she directly assigned two people over.
Anyway, according to An Lingrong's current status, having two more palace maids serving her is reasonable and does not violate the palace rules and ancestral regulations. Naturally, it is not up to others to make irresponsible remarks!
"Thank you, ma'am!"
An Lingrong looked very touched. She caught a glimpse of Jianqiu's thoughtful look after she agreed. She knew that the head maid of Jingren Palace was probably now thinking about how to win over the two newly selected maids.
Thinking of this, An Lingrong said again: "But Your Majesty, you only need to pick one person. Firstly, too many people will be useless. Secondly, more people means more expenses. I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Now I am..."
An Lingrong bluntly expressed her financial difficulties and lack of money.
When the queen heard this, she was really stunned.
After a while, the queen finally reacted and said, "Then... just one!"
She originally wanted to tell An Lingrong not to worry too much, and that she would take care of the money for her.
But before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt uneasy, which made the queen stop herself from saying anything.
