Chapter 266
Ling Jingshu respectfully and humbly responded: ”Back to Empress Mother’s words, the slave girl has been studying since she was a child, not to talk about outstanding poetic talent, but reading and writing is not a problem
I have no problem with reading and writing I am also slightly involved in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I also know some sewing, but I am not proficient in any of them
What the slave girl likes most and is best at is planting peonies”I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’ll have to learn from scratch
Cleaning and laundry and the like, slave girl must also ask for more advice from her sisters”
Rui Lian and Qiushang exchanged a knowing look
Ling Jingshu was born into a prestigious family, and had been well read since she was young, planting flowers and playing the qin and reading in her spare time
How could she possibly know how to do this kind of waiting work?
Besides, Empress Xu already had someone to take care of her duties
Ling Jingshu’s entry into the palace as an errand girl would undoubtedly take away some of the errands in some people’s hands
I wonder who this “luck” will fall on?Does this palace need someone to dress and wait by its side?”
Empress Xu smiled and said, “This palace called you into the palace, not to let you do any menial work
You don’t need to learn these chores
Let’s put it this way, you are good at planting peonies and serving flowers and plants, so this Palace will leave all the flowers and potted plants in the Pepper Room Hall to you to take care of
Weekdays also don’t need you to watch night duty, nothing to accompany the palace to talk about it”
This errand, indeed counted as easy and leisurely, do is her best and favorite thing
Ling Jingshu was busy smiling and thanking her
Rui Lian and Qiu Frost also secretly breathed a sigh of relief
Serving the flowers and plants was originally Linyan’s job
Now that it was given to Ling Jingshu, at least a few palace maids had to be allocated to Ling Jingshu’s staff
If they wanted to share the power, they should also share it with Falling Wild Goose, as long as it didn’t affect the two of themRui Lian, you lead Ling Jingshu to talk to Falling Wild Goose and hand over the errands earlier”
Empress Xu casually instructed, “In these few days, you’ll again tell her in detail all the rules for working as an errand boy in the Pepper Room Hall”
Rui Lian perked up and answered with a smile
Qiu Frost watched from the sidelines, her heart quite a bit unhappy
People were more angry than people
She was also considered to be very pleased with the scenery beside Empress Xu, and everywhere she went, there were people who flattered and pleased her
But compared to Ruilian, she was regrettably a little bit worse
When Empress Xu opened her mouth, the first person she called was always Ruilian, and it was only her turn
This also fully explains the order of status in the master’s mind
If she wants to surpass Ruilian, she will have to use more brains and think of more ways to do so
Just as she was thinking, she heard Empress Xu say again with a smile, ”Rui Lian, you have to be more attentive and teach all the rules that should be taught
If Ling Jingshu makes a mistake when she is on duty, this palace will be the first to punish you!”
Rui Lian responded with fear and trepidation, “Yes, slave girl obeys”
This was not knocking Rui Lian, it was basically giving her a hard time!
Ling Jingshu laughed coldly in her heart, but said softly under her breath, “The slave girl will definitely learn the rules well, and will never drag sister Rui Lian down”
Rui Lian led Ling Jingshu forward while smiling in a low voice, “Ah Shu, don’t take to heart what the Empress Mother said just now
I’ve been serving the Empress for several years, and I’m most aware of the Empress’s temperament
Her Majesty’s rules are a bit strict, but she is very generous to the few of us
Even if we make a mistake, the Empress will just verbally reprimand us a few times, and will not really punish us”
This Rui Lian, looking smiling, is actually quite sophisticated
From the face, one simply couldn’t see half of the real emotionsWhen sister says this, I’m much more solid in my heart”
Everyone knows how to put on a show, Ling Jingshu immediately sighed in relief, and incidentally praised Rui Lian a few more times, “Empress Dowager doesn’t treat everyone like this
Sister Ruilian is smart and capable, so it’s no wonder that the Empress favors her a few points
In the future, if I can have sister half, also satisfied”
Rui Lian purses her lips and smiles, “Look at you, you’re about to turn me into a flower”
The two talked and laughed along the way, very intimate
Anyone who looked at them would not have expected the two to have met just today
Falling Wild Goose’s house and Ling Jingshu’s place were very close to each other
Ruilian gently knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, revealing a fair woman’s face
This woman was precisely Falling Wild Goose
Falling Wild Goose name is quite beautiful, but the appearance is not really outstanding, at most counts the features are just
The head is also more than ordinary women sue some
Ruilian quickly explained the intention: ”
In the future, the matter of waiting for flowers and plants will be handed over to A Shu!
The palace maids under your hand, also divide half of them to A Shu”
A Ling Jingshu appeared out of nowhere, robbing her of half of her errands and manpower, and Luoyan was not in a good mood at all
Rui Lian was also in the way, Luoyan couldn’t say anything more and quickly agreed
She just didn’t look too good
Ling Jingshu was relieved
If the female officials in the Pepper Room Palace all cultivate to Ruilian like this, it will be difficult in the future
If all the female officials in the Pepper Room were like Ruilian, they would have a hard time in the future
Ling Jingshu put on the humility and politeness of meeting her seniors, “I’m still not familiar with the business of serving as an official, so I’ll ask Sister Yuanyan to take care of me more in the future”I only entered the palace two years earlier than you, I wouldn’t dare to take care of you”
Falling Wild Goose responded with a smile on her face, “It’s already late today, it’s too late for the handover of manpower and errands, you can come over again tomorrow morning!”
After saying that, he yawned
People have hinted so obviously, Ling Jingshu will not be brazen enough to stay, busy smiling and excusing herself, “It’s almost time for dinner, I won’t delay sister Luoyan’s time, I’ll go back first”
Luoyan gave a nonchalant hmmm
Ever since Ling Jingshu had gone out, Bai Yu had been waiting for her to come back with her eyes and neck stretched out
While waiting, she was apprehensive and nervous in her heart
Empress Xu hadn’t deliberately made things difficult for Miss!
What kind of job will Miss Xu get?
God forbid, it mustn’t be one of those stupid jobs
The young lady’s white and soft hands are usually not touched by spring water, so where can she do the work of waiting on people Bai Yu, I’m back”
A familiar voice sounded at the door
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up, excitedly getting up to welcome her, “Miss, you can finally come back
The slave girl has been waiting for half a day and has been on tenterhooks”
Ling Jingshu was dumbfounded, “It’s only been more than half an hour
What do you have to worry about”
Bai Yu sighed softly, “If it was in the past, the slave girl would not be in a hurry even if she waited for half a day
But now “Can it be the same now?
To this strange place, full of strange faces
Miss to call herself a slave girl, to serve the identity of the Zhou Dynasty’s most noble woman, but also the master of the Pepper Room Hall
The slightest indiscretion would result in a reprimand and dismissal
The thought of the young lady having to serve people with a low voice and low brow, her heart was full of sorrow and sadness
Bai Yu could not go on, her eyes reddened and she choked slightly
