Chapter 342
The next morning
Just after the fifth watch, Ling Jingshu got up and washed and dressed
Bai Yu and Qiaoyun also woke up together, and after a quick breakfast, they followed behind Ling Jingshu and went to see Consort Wei Xian
As Consort Li was on her deathbed, Consort Wei was in charge of the palace’s phoenix seal
All the major and minor matters in the palace have to be reported to Wei Xianfei, and all the trivial matters in the palace have to be decided by Wei Xianfei
But also carefully take care of the emperor’s clothing, food and living, Wei Xianfei said busy and lack of time is by no means a lie
When Ling Jingshu came to pay her respects, Xin Yun and the others had also arrived
Outside the Lingbo Palace, there were already many chamberlains and female officials waiting to be summoned by Consort Wei Xianfei to report things
In half an hour or so at most, the concubines from all the palaces would also come to the Lingbo Hall one after another to ask for peace
Consort Wei Xian was counting the things she had to do today while still asking Ling Jingshu with concern: “Are you still used to eating and living in the Lingbo Hall?
If there’s anything missing in the house, just talk to the Palace”
Consort Wei Xian spoke in a tone that was different from both Empress Xu and the Emperor
Her face was beautiful and elegant, and her voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, without a hint of superior posture, making people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts
Ling Jingshu’s heart warmed, and she busily smiled and responded, “The slave girl is very used to it, thank you for your concern, Your Highness”
Consort Wei Xian smiled, “You’re new here and don’t know how to be on duty yet
First with the new cloud together to stay in the side of this palace, see more, listen more, do not understand more questions
This palace is short of manpower, so at most, we can only allow you to adapt for a few days”
Ling Jingshu answered with a smile
Next, Ling Jingshu quietly followed Xinyun around, observing with all her heart
Whether she worked in the Pepper Room Hall or in the Purple Chen Hall, she was forced to do so
She was cautious and careful, unwilling to make any mistakes
From the bottom of her heart, she was tired of being rejected
Now, she missed Consort Wei Xian’s helping hand and treated her with generosity and kindness, and was bent on sharing Consort Wei Xian’s worries, but she had the idea of working as an official seriously
Ling Jingshu already has a fine mind, calm temperament, quietly and carefully watch and listen carefully for three days, really learned a lot of useful things, but also a little understanding of Wei Xianfei’s work habits
Compared to Empress Xu’s autocratic and domineering, Wei Xianfei acted gently and politely much
When it comes to the use of the various palaces, discretionary consideration is prudent
Sometimes know that the following chief eunuchs reported up some of the cats and dogs, but also do not know, mostly according to the usual practice disposal
This can also be seen Wei Xianfei cautious and careful
In the end, after all, she is only in charge of the phoenix seal, some of the meaning of the name is not right
To put it bluntly, one day the emperor set up another queen, she this Xianfei will have to obediently hand over the phoenix seal
If the means is too sharp and ruthless, will only fall behind everyone complaining
Rather than the wind and rain some, slowly collect people’s hearts
To the concubines, Wei Xianfei also never put on airs, still like the old days generally kind and gentle
However, since Wang Zhaorong was sent down, the concubines are honest a lot, and no one dares to show off in front of Wei Xianfei
The harem had a rare period of peace
After observing for a few days, Ling Jingshu had an idea of how to work as an errand boy, and took the initiative to ask for help, “Your Highness, from today onwards, let the slave girl work as an errand boy!”
Concubine Wei nodded with a smile, not forgetting to urge, “If you don’t know what you don’t know, don’t be embarrassed, just open your mouth and ask the Palace”
Ling Jingshu smiled and agreed
From that day onwards, Ling Jingshu took over the key books of the Lingbo Hall Treasury
Every day, when Consort Wei Xian handled palace affairs, she had to stay by Consort Wei Xian’s side, ready to be summoned to do her job
Wei Xianfei asked Ling Jingshu to be her sidekick in order to have an excuse to ask the Emperor for help
She didn’t want Ling Jingshu to do much
Unexpectedly, Ling Jingshu gave her many accidents and surprises
For example, Ling Jingshu wrote beautiful handwriting
Anything that needed to be done with a pen could be handed over to Ling Jingshu
For example, Ling Jingshu had an excellent memory and a meticulous mind
She remembered everything she heard clearly
When she was busy, she would mention a few things from time to time, making things much smoother for her
For example, Ling Jingshu even played the abacus well
When it came to accounting, it came in handy
Her pretty face was full of concentration, and she was extremely serious without any distractions
Her long and white fingers quickly fiddled with the rounded abacus beads, making a clear and crisp sound
It was like playing a cheerful piece of music
On this day, after finishing her work, Consort Wei Xian couldn’t help but ask, “Ah Shu, you play the abacus extremely well, did you learn it since you were a child?”
Ling Jingshu smiled and hmmmed, “When I was in Dingzhou, I learned the abacus with my cousins
The slave girl was also the best one among her sisters
It’s just that it’s never really come in handy, and I didn’t expect to be able to share your worries for the Empress now”
Famous girls have to learn more than just zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, this housekeeping and governing skills are also to be learned
From this point of view, Wei Xianfei, who came from a humble family, was much less than that
Wei Xianfei is not ashamed to say that their poor background, self-deprecating: “This Palace is good at laundry and cooking women’s red, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting are into the Palace before they began to learn
The use of the abacus to read the books is even more ignorant
Thanks to the emperor’s trust, dare to give the palace affairs to the palace management, not afraid of the palace will be a mess of this palace affairs”
The words were said in a funny and witty manner, and the Xin Yun on the side couldn’t help but pursed her lips and laughed softly
Ling Jingshu also smiled, “Your Highness is beautiful, understanding, gentle, and fair
Everyone in the palace praises it
As for these trivial matters, if Your Highness has done them all, what more do you need the slave girls to do”
Consort Wei Xian listened with a guffawing smile, “It turns out that this palace has so many advantages”
While laughing and joking, the palace maid came in to report, “Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Wei has come to greet Your Highness”
Wei Yan came?
! Ling Jingshu’s heart thumped
It had been more than half a month since she left the Purple Chen Palace
In the past, in the Purple Chen Palace, she and Wei Yan still had the chance to meet occasionally
After arriving at the Lingbo Hall, she worked as an errand boy beside Consort Wei Xian every day and never stepped out of the Lingbo Hall
Wei Yan has to wait for the Emperor’s illness in the Purple Palace every day, and the two have never had the opportunity to meet
Consort Wei Xian smiled and glanced at the soulful Ling Jingshu and ordered, “Let Imperial Doctor Wei come in!”
A moment later, Wei Yan walked in
This was where Consort Wei Xian dealt with palace affairs on weekdays, and the house was elegantly and generously furnished and quite spacious
In addition to Wei Xianfei and Xinyun Ling Jingshu, there were a few palace maids waiting on the sidelines
Wei Yan’s eyes hurriedly swept over Ling Jingshu’s face
Her originally somewhat thin face had already regained the fairness and redness of the past
The corners of her eyes were filled with smiles
