Chapter 251
Ling Jingyan, who was standing by the side, was shocked and her mind was confused
What in the world was going on with all of this?
Why did Empress Xu suddenly want A Shu to enter the palace?
Surprisingly, A Shu didn’t refuse, and even took the initiative to step forward and accept!
What was in Shu’s heart?
How could she agree without hesitation to something that was so unpredictable?
Wei Jieyu was unable to stop her, and her heart secretly chagrined and blamed herself
On her face, she revealed a joyful smile: ”This is really great!
In the future, when you enter the palace, the Empress Mother will have someone by her side to talk to and relieve her boredom”
She also smiled at Empress Xu and said, “I wonder how the Empress Dowager intends to call Miss Ling Jiu into the palace?
Is it like when my concubine entered the palace back then, or is it like the previous Green Pearl and have her be a female officer of the Pepper Room Hall?”
Things had come to this point, and there was no one who could change the outcome of this matter
What one could do for Ling Jingshu was to try one’s best to obtain an identity for her that would allow her to gain a foothold in the palace
Everyone knew the reason why Wei Jieyu entered the palace back then
Wei Jieyu was a commoner woman and could only be a palace maid after entering the palace
Green Pearl is a serious official gold, into the Pepper Palace, the beginning of the female officer
She was in charge of more than a dozen palace maids
Ling Jingshu’s family history and Green Pearl similar, identity and Green Pearl should be almost
This layer of Wei Jieyu’s meaning was obviously understood by a number of people
Ling Jingshu was secretly grateful for Wei Jieyu’s care and reminder of herself, and busily smiled as she took over the conversation: ”Thank you for your kindness, Auntie Jieyu
Being able to accompany the Empress is already a blessing for my daughter
I wouldn’t dare to ask for more
I implore the Empress to let my daughter enter the palace as a palace maid!
Folk daughter is willing to accompany the Empress Dowager night and day”
Wei Jieyu nodded secretly in her heart
Ling Jingshu was really smart, these words were picked up at the right time
By lowering her stance, Empress Xu would not be able to treat Ling Jingshu poorly in front of everyone
The palace maid and female officer sound similar, but the status and treatment in the palace are very different
The former is like an ordinary maid in each house, washing and cleaning all kinds of rough work to do, do not do well, often scolded and punished
Empress Xu around the female officers, but each has a division of labor each led the errand, similar to the steward of the house
Miscellaneous chores do not need to personally do, move your mouth to command the palace women to do on the line
Walking in the palace is also quite decent
Sure enough, heard Empress Xu laughed: “The Palace really did not look at the wrong person
Not yet to the Pepper Palace, this heart is all towards the Palace
Don’t worry, this palace never treats the people around you poorly
With your temperament and heart, to be an ordinary courtesan would be too much
Since you should enter the palace as a female officer”
And gently said: “today is the first day of the new year, you go back and family get together for a few days, after the new year’s festival, the palace and then let you into the palace
Your usual maids, you can also bring two together into the palace to serve you on weekdays, food and clothing
After entering the palace, want to go out of the palace is quite inconvenient
However, you are specially called into the palace by this palace, different from others
If you have an important matter, say so to this palace and receive a waist license and you can leave the palace”
Ling Jingshu hadn’t gotten up yet and continued to kowtow and thank her for her kindness
Wei Jieyu smiled and said, “Empress Mother favors Miss Ling Jiu like this, my concubine looks a little sour”
The rest of the concubines also laughed and chimed in, “Yes, my concubine also feels hot under the collar!”Empress Mother can’t favor one over the other
In the future, when my concubine comes to the Pepper Room Hall to talk with Your Highness, Your Highness can’t ignore my concubine”
The concubines spoke in a lively manner
Empress Xu was coaxed to laugh, “Each of you is changing ways to make this palace happy
When this palace smiles like this, there will be two more wrinkles at the corners of my eyes”
The enjoined ladies also opened their mouths to speak, and the atmosphere in the main hall was completely lively
Ling Jingshu, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, took advantage of this moment to stand up
Together with Sun’s Ling Jingshu, she retreated to the side
Ling Jingshu did not realize until this moment that her hands were slippery with cold sweat, and her back was also glistening with cold sweat
Ling Jingshu hung her head slightly, but she could still detect many different kinds of attention
Curious, envious, jealous, unkind, gloating, there is no lack of people watching the show
There were two gazes that were particularly focused and sharp, as if they were like knife blades sweeping across her cheeks
Who was it?
Ling Jingshu did not move and quietly raised her eyes, quickly catching the woman who had been staring at her
Standing to the left of Empress Xu, her appearance was dignified and graceful, her temperament elegant, her lips smiling
It was the newly appointed Yan Wangfei
In the end, she was still young and her city was not deep, although she still maintained a smile, the gaze that was fixed on her was full of ill will and hostility
Obviously, this Yan Wangfei had misunderstood Empress Xu’s true intention of “favoring” her
Mistakenly believing that Empress Xu intended to marry her off to Yan Wang as a side consort, she looked at her with the eyes of a love rival
There were so many people in the main hall, and there were by no means a handful of people who had such a misunderstanding like Yan Wangfei
No one knew the true intentions behind Empress Xu’s actions
At this time, everyone was talking, and the Pepper Room Hall was quite lively
Speaking in whispers did not appear to be eye-catching
Sun looked at Ling Jingshu with a complicated and unspeakable gaze, lowered her voice and sighed: ”You girl, why were you so impulsive just now
Why did you agree to such an important matter in one breath”
Ling Jingshu replied in a low voice, “Eldest Auntie, you saw the situation before
There was no way for me to refuse
I took the initiative to open my mouth, and I also ended up looking better on my face”
Empress Xu had already made up her mind to let her enter the palace, and even if she avoided this time, she couldn’t avoid the next time
Sun was speechless
Ling Jingyan suddenly held Ling Jingshu’s hand
The Pepper Palace was warm, but Ling Jingshu’s hand was cold
Ling Jingshu’s nose was sore, tears surged to the corners of her eyes, and her trembling voice choked slightly, “Ah Shu, do you really have to go to the palace?
Can you ask the Empress for a favor, just say
Just say that you can’t bear to leave your family and won’t go to the palace” If she wasn’t concerned about the wrong occasion, Ling Jingyan would have been bawling her eyes out in tears
Ling Jingshu heart a burst of sour, face but pretended to relax a smile: “can enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, this is a good thing that others envy not come
Don’t worry about me”
After a pause, she reminded in a low voice, “Cousin Yan, there are many people here, don’t cry out”
Empress Xu was still sitting on the phoenix chair!
If she saw Ling Jingyan shedding tears here, she would have another reason and excuse to have an attack
After Ling Jingyan was reminded, her heart flinched and she immediately forced her tears back and squeezed out a smile
It was just that the smile was a bit stiff and ugly
Ling Jingshu saw it in her eyes, her heart also felt sour, and subconsciously held Ling Jingyan’s hand tightly
