Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

Looking at the two of them, Wei Kang is nearly thirty years old, and he looks like a smart and capable man. From the corner of his eye, he saw the ghost orchid on Wei Kang's inner sleeve, and he understood it. They looked at each other, which meant that only the two of them knew. .Lin Suxin was in her thirties, her face looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it all at once, her eyes were black and bright, and she was very stable and honest.In just one glance, Wei Kang and Lin Suxin feel that a century has passed.

After the two of them paid homage, they asked the other four eunuchs and six maids who served under her name to kowtow to her for a formal visit.

014 rectification

Gu Mi waited for them to get up after their visit, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, let me introduce myself first, that is, tell me your name, what you know, and what you are good at. Wei Kang, you first Come." "Yes. The slave is literate, can manage accounts, and has nothing good at it." Then came Lin Suxin, "The slave is literate, and can manage the trivial matters of the palace." "Slave Xiao Xizi, literate, has nothing good at it, but the tongue is very good, what? You can taste the taste of it." Gu Mi took a second look at the words, she was about 16 years old, she was handsome, and she was full of cleverness, if there was no one behind her, she could be reused. "Young servant, Xiao Li, who knows how to take care of flowers and plants." This little Li Zi is also around 16, looks ordinary, and looks like a sincere person. "Slave Xiaowenzi" and "Slave Xiaolizi" "can tell stories and juggle tricks, and also have some boxing skills." This is a pair of twin brothers, 11 years old, they are cute and cute, and they feel comfortable when they look at them.

Four of the remaining six maids looked at each other, and the older one stepped forward and said, "The servants and the other four have just come out of the House of Internal Affairs, please give me their names." Gu Mi thought for a while and said: "My four maids at home are named after piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I want to sound more friendly. Let's call them holding pen, ink painting, cigarette paper, and pool inkstone." Speaking of Gu Mi, he pointed to a court lady.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me the name."

"The servant is writing, literate, and knows some poetry and books. She is good at tea art." This is the court lady who served tea just now, smart yet calm.

"Slave ink wash, literate, good at making rouge." "Slave cigarette paper, can carve." "Slave Chi Yan, good at dressing makeup, can do all kinds of fashionable buns." Gu Mi nodded, looking at the last two maids.

"My servant, Qing'er, used to work in the Palace of Preserving Harmony and knew how to recite Buddhist scriptures." "My servant, Liu'er, used to work in the Sizhiku. She doesn't know much, but she is very strong and can do a lot of heavy work." Gu Mi asked them to change their names. For Danqing and Liuxu, in ancient times, the master changed your name to respect you.The six court ladies are all around 15 or 16. They are all pretty and pleasant, and they look honest and peaceful, but whether they are the same on the outside, they still have to check carefully.

Seeing that they had finished introducing them one by one, Gu Mi put down the cup in her hand, sat up slightly, and said gently and sternly: "You are standing in this Lingxueju today, you must be clearly aware of who you are, and you must be loyal. Who is the target of the target? I believe you are all very clear about this sentence. The fate of those who betray the master has always been kept a secret forever. Who can do it? It should be very important for you to survive in the palace until now. Be clear."

Gu Mi paused to see the changes in their expressions, and said: "My lord has never liked to punish others, and I like to be quiet, so you only need to abide by the palace rules. In addition, you have to remember, my lord The Lord is very disgusted with broken-mouthed, loose-mouthed, and frivolous slaves, do you remember?"

"Slaves (servants) please remember."

"If you commit a crime knowingly," Gu Mi twitched her lips, and said lightly, "Wei Kang and Su Xin will deal with it according to the palace rules for ordinary mistakes, but there are no more than three things. If there is a taboo, I think it's my mistress who can't tolerate you." This giant Buddha will ask the Empress to find a good place for you, the Clothes Bureau, Xinzhe Library, and the Violence Room are all good! Once you go, you can’t look back, there is no medicine for regret in this world.”

"Slaves (slaves) will definitely obey their duties."

Gu Mi nodded and glanced at the waiter.The waiter understood, and took out the purses prepared early in the morning to reward them one by one. "The three servants are what I am used to, and I will take care of my personal affairs. You will assign them based on your future performance. No matter whether you have done a good job or not, as long as you are loyal, I will treat you generously." "Su Xin, does Changle Palace have a queen in charge?"

"Back to the young master, there is no one. There is only the young master in Changle Palace."

When Gu Mi knew about it, she let Baoqin get acquainted with the palace people, and served the book and chess to tidy up the bed, clothes and jewelry.Holding Su Xin's hand, she entered the bedroom, sat on the couch, and asked bluntly: "Does Su Xin know someone named Lin Suyi?" where!"

"I do know that Aunt Lin has been my mother-in-law since she was three years old. Don't worry, Aunt Lin is doing well now. I made my former personal servants recognize her as my mother, and they have something to do to make a living."

"Thank you, little master, now this servant has only one relative, my cousin, and this servant will definitely be loyal to my little master from now on."

"Okay." Gu Mi was very satisfied.

"My lord, it is rumored in the palace that the emperor personally pointed out the Changle Palace to my lord." Gu Mi frowned slightly, and rewarded her with a pair of gold bracelets, and asked her to bring an ingot of gold ingot to Wei Kang, and asked her to withdraw. Down.When her figure was about to disappear, Gu Mi said a word lightly, which made Su Xin pause, and continued to walk out as if nothing had happened.

015. Audience

"Weikang is mine."

When Su Xin heard this sentence, her first reaction was that she felt that this young master was not easy, her second reaction was that she followed the right master, and her first reaction was that she had expressed her loyalty just now.But with such a master, her heart is at ease, and she has confidence.

Woke up early to prepare to enter the palace, took a sedan chair, waited in front of the palace gate, and then walked to Changle Palace, and scolded people with airs, Gu Mi was late, and fell down indecently in the bookstore On the good bed, I closed my almond eyes and saw Duke Zhou.

After Gu Mi woke up and finished her makeup, she received the Queen's order for them to go to the Zhaoyang Hall of Fengyi Palace to meet the ladies in three days, and the Queen's reward.As soon as the Queen's servant left, Concubine Hua's reward arrived. It was delivered by Zhou Ninghai herself. Gu Mi was not surprised at all. Even if she would not be favored in the future, due to her status, people in the harem would not dare to give her a reward. This time, even Concubine Hua has to give some face.Her father, Gu Chen, is a first-rank Diange scholar, her younger uncle is a second-rank Hanlin Academy master, her cousin Gu Hui, Gu Ming is a first-rank Libu Shangshu and a third-rank Dali Shiqing, and her elder brother Gu Yu is a fourth-rank Hanlin. The courtyard waiter is a bachelor, the third brother is a fourth-rank magistrate of Yangzhou, although his grandfather has retired from the court, he still bears the name of the first-rank Taifu, and the third grandfather of the Guozijian offering wine, etc., Wujun Gu Although most of the Clans are literati and poets, those who take official careers are generally in high positions, and their clan is still a royalist party for generations, so they will be treated a little less.

Zhou Ninghai was quite polite to her, but his words seemed to reveal Concubine Hua's importance to him unintentionally. Gu Mi just smiled and politely asked him to sit down and drink a cup of tea. Zhou Ninghai refused and said that he was going The next little master.Gu Mi asked the servant to secretly hand him a generous purse, and asked him to convey her thanks to Concubine Hua.Immediately afterwards, concubines Ligui, Cao Ronghua and other concubines with higher status than her were rewarded. The word "reward" is really harsh.

After confirming that no one came again, Gu Mi ordered Baoqin and Suxin to register these rewards in a book, and let the servants check them later.For three days, Gu Mi just stayed in Changle Palace and closed the door to live her own life.Let Xiaowenzi, Xiaolizi and the writer, cigarette paper catkins, re-arrange the interior of Lingxueju according to her preferences, Xiaoxizi, Xiaolizi, Shuimo Danqing and others clean and arrange the front yard and backyard, and the servants and chess players arrange the inner room of the dormitory. He Suxin and Gu Mi asked them to observe in the dark who was who's nail, and Wei Kang was sent to contact the forces that Gu Mi had been operating for many years, and the hidden stakes everywhere in the palace.

On the day of the meeting, Gu Mi was pulled up from the bed by Si Qi on the fourth watch. Gu Mi was half asleep and half awake after being washed by the secretary Si Qi, and she woke up sitting in front of the dressing table. "My lord, how do you want to dress up today?" "My lord, how about these clothes?" Baoqin held two clothes in his hand and one hanging behind his back for Gu Mi to choose.The three palace attires were light blue, light yellow and lake green, and Gu Mi chose light yellow.Let Siqi only put on light makeup and put on a heart-returning bun. On the bun, he only wore two white jade bell hairpins, and tied a few jade hairpins freshly picked in the greenhouse behind the bun.

Riding in the palace sedan chair, Wei Kang and Su Xin accompanied him on the left and right, followed by Baoqin and Shishu.Not long after, only a thin voice was heard, "Fengyi Palace is home, please concubine Gu get off the sedan chair." When the inner eunuch raised the curtain, Gu Mi stretched out her slender hand, Su Xin stepped forward to hold her, and entered Zhaoyang Hall.

Gu Mi came quite early, only five or six of the 15 young masters who had just entered the palace, and only a few of the original concubines.After waiting for a while, when everyone was almost there, they heard a jingle of rings and dense footsteps, and then the queen was surrounded and sat on the throne.Seeing this, all the concubines got up and knelt down to pay their respects, and said in unison: "The empress is safe."

Empress Zhu Yixiu wore a purple gold Zhai Phoenix pearl crown, and a crimson gold and silver silk phoenix embroidered court dress. She had a calm and graceful demeanor, and said with a pleasant smile: "Sisters came early, let's get down."

016. Concubine Hua

Jiang Fuhai led a group of new concubines to kowtow to the queen, the queen accepted the gift, and ordered the eunuch to reward the gift, and everyone thanked them.

The first place on the left hand side of the queen was vacant, the queen lowered her eyes slightly, Jiang Fuhai said knowingly: "Ms.
