Loyang Jin

Seeing Bai Yu's tearful eyes, Ling Jingshu also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and comforted her in a low voice: "Bai Yu, don't think too much. Once you've come, let's make peace with it. What others can do, I can do the same."

Bai Yu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and forced a smile: "What the lady said is that the slave was just thinking wildly."

It's hard enough for the young lady to have to work on errands, and she must not let the young lady worry and distract her anymore.

Having been together as master and servant for many years, Ling Jingshu was very familiar with Bai Yu's temperament. Seeing her forcing a smile on her face, her heart became more and more sour. But he pretended to smile briskly and said: "By the way, guess what errand I got?"

Bai Yu cheered up: "Is it dressing up and changing clothes?"

Ling Jingshu deliberately made Bai Yu happy, and pretended to sigh helplessly: "I usually dress and change clothes for you, how could I do such a thing? Fortunately, the Queen did not make things difficult for me, otherwise, I would have been punished even if I tried my best. Refusal. You can’t let me go out to see people with a crooked bun!”

As expected, Bai Yu burst into laughter.

Qiao Yun just walked in carrying a food box.

Ling Jingshu greeted Qiaoyun with a smile: "You come and sit down, I have something important to announce."

When they arrived at the palace, the three masters and servants seemed to be dependent on each other. The distance between Qiaoyun and Ling Jingshu also quickly became much closer. Hearing this, he was not shy, he responded neatly and sat down.

Ling Jingshu explained what had just happened in detail: "... Starting from tomorrow, I will be taking on the errand."

Serving flowers and plants is a relaxing and leisurely job.

Bai Yu was very happy to hear this: "This job is suitable for young lady. When we were in Dingzhou, young lady liked to take care of flowers and plants, especially planting peonies."

"Bai Yu, working on an errand is different from growing flowers at home." Qiao Yun reminded calmly: "It doesn't matter if the flowers and plants grow better or worse at home. It doesn't matter even if the flowers and plants wither and are thrown away. The flowers in this Jiaofang Palace are Every plant and grass is planted according to the queen’s wishes, so nothing can go wrong.”

Ling Jingshu nodded: "Qiaoyun is right, I will be careful when I am on duty."

Empress Xu was eagerly waiting for her to make a mistake, and she must not be careless.

Seeing Ling Jingshu's cautious and solemn response, Qiao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a master, Ling Jingshu is able to listen to the advice of the maids around her and always keep the people around her in her heart. It is really rare!

…

The next morning.

Ling Jingshu was wearing a green palace dress, with a simple and refreshing hair style, and no makeup on her face. I took a look at myself in the mirror and was quite satisfied with my plain and clean self in the mirror.

Dressing up in a gorgeous way, she was deliberately blocking Queen Xu's eyes, and she was also looking for trouble for herself. None of the female officials in this Jiaofang Palace are fuel-efficient lamps.

Even Bai Yu said in a low voice: "Young lady is new here, so it's better to keep a low profile in your words and deeds."

Ling Jingshu smiled and hummed: "You two will stay in the house for a few days. Once you understand the situation in Jiaofang Palace, it won't be too late to go out for a walk."

Queen Xu allowed her to bring her personal maid into the palace, which was already a special gift. As soon as she entered the palace, she took the maids and ran around, which was too conspicuous.

Bai Yu and Qiao Yun nodded in agreement.

Ling Jingshu went to Luoyan's house.

After knocking on the door, Luo Yan waited for a while before opening the door and said in a lukewarm tone: "You're here early." Humph, you're rushing to receive the messenger!

Ling Jingshu just pretended that she didn't hear her carrying a gun and a stick, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Luoyan."

Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand!

No matter how dissatisfied Luo Yan was, she didn't dare to openly make things difficult, so she responded with a smile. Reluctantly, he led Ling Jingshu to the place where he was on duty.

Queen Xu stayed in the main hall every morning, waiting for the concubines to come to pay their respects. After the concubines left, the chief eunuch and the female officials in Jiaofang Palace went to report the trivial matters of the day one by one.

There are many maids in the Jiaofang Palace, and each female official leads many people. The place where the female officials gather their people to distribute errands is in a house not far from their residence.

…

More than a dozen palace maids were divided into two rows, standing neatly, listening to Luo Yan's lecture.

The palace maids stared intently, and glanced uncomfortably at Ling Jingshu, who was standing by and smiling silently.

The palace is the place where news is conveyed fastest. Ling Jingshu entered Jiaofang Hall yesterday, and within half a day the news spread throughout Jiaofang Hall.

Now Ling Jingshu has followed Luo Yan, obviously she wants to take over Luo Yan's job...

"This is the new Lady Official Ling. From today on, all the flowers and potted plants in Jiaofang Hall will be under the control of Lady Official Ling."

With that said, Luo Yan ordered a few more maids to come out. Then he said to Ling Jingshu: "They usually take care of the flowers and plants. Since you have accepted this job, they should also be under your control. Ask them about the things they have to do every day!"

There are eighteen palace ladies in total. Luo Yan only picked six maids and took away the remaining twelve.

The six maids saluted together: "I've seen Lady Ling."

Official Ling! This title is really new.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly and said in a very gentle tone: "We will meet every day from now on, so there is no need to be so polite." Then she asked the maids' names and ages one by one.

The oldest of these palace maids is about twenty-four or five years old, and the youngest is sixteen or seventeen years old. Most of them have mediocre looks, except for one who looks pretty and has the smoothest tongue, called Hongmei.

Ling Jingshu had a smile on her face, spoke softly, and looked like she had a good temper.

Hongmei was quick-thinking and the most courageous. After saying a few words, she changed the subject: "Mr. Ling, there's something you don't know yet! In fact, there were nine people who were originally responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants. But Ms. Luoyan only The six of us were picked out, and the remaining three were the best at planting flowers. Now that there are three less people, I am afraid that we will not be able to do anything. Lady Ling should really talk to Lady Luoyan, otherwise it will be in vain. For the immediate loss..."

Ling Jingshu's smile faded and she looked at Hongmei, with a bit of chill in her eyes.

Hongmei's heart skipped a beat, and her voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Your name is Hongmei?" Ling Jingshu asked with raised eyebrows.

Hongmei forced a smile: "Yes, I..."

"How old are you? How many years have you been in the palace?"

"I am eighteen years old and have been in the palace for four years."

Ling Jingshu looked indifferent, but her tone became colder and colder: "You have been in the palace for four years, where have you learned the rules of the palace? Have you learned to use words to instigate trouble? You said this deliberately because you wanted to see Sister Luoyan and I fighting for each other. Are some little things causing trouble?"

After hearing the series of accusations, Hongmei broke out in cold sweat and knelt down with a plop.
