Maid?

Ah Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Her Lingquan Palace has always been inaccessible, that is, He Bayu ran around more frequently. Once he leaves, who else will come?

Although some concubines had come to her place to explore the truth before, but after what happened to Bai Zhaoyi, the fourth concubine, and Concubine Zheng, her place was regarded as a dragon's den and a tiger's den by the concubines, who were afraid and hated her.

What I'm afraid of is that there have been rumors in the palace that except for Shangguan Jieyu, whoever comes close to Lingquan Palace will be in bad luck. In the least case, they will be injured and fall out of favor, in the worst case, they will lose their lives or even disappear inexplicably.

What I hate is that in such a sneaky place, Shangguan Jieyu lives like a fish in water. Not only that, she is increasingly favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, a group of palace maids came today, which was an extremely abnormal thing.

And there is a saying that goes like this: If something goes wrong, it must be a monster!

There was still some distance between the entrance of Lingquan Palace and Liangxi Pavilion, so Ah Jiu went to the living room and sat down slowly before someone came to report that it was Aunt Du from Jujiu Palace who wanted to see her.

This Aunt Du was the one who informed Ajiu to go to Chaofeng Palace to meet the Queen last time. She should be regarded as Queen Jiao's confidant.

As soon as she stepped through the door of the main hall of Liangxi Pavilion, Aunt Du smiled kindly. She bowed her knees slightly to Ah Jiu and said happily: "Congratulations to Shangguan Jieyu, congratulations to Shangguan Jieyu."

Ah Jiu's eyes flashed, then he tilted his head and asked her, "Auntie said I'm so confused. What's my joy?"

Aunt Du smiled and waved behind her. Immediately, a group of palace maids filed in and stood in a row behind her. Then she smiled and said:

"The Queen is really kind to you. Seeing you, the old and the young, in Liangxi Pavilion, I was afraid that they would not be able to serve you well, so I specially asked me to bring some innocent palace maids for Jieyu to choose from, which also saved the life of Jieyu.

Do everything yourself.

Firstly, I have lost my decency, and secondly I am too tired to explain to His Majesty. Tell me, isn’t it a happy event that the Queen cares for Jieyu so much?”

Ah Jiu blinked and cursed in her heart: Of course it's good. If it's so good that she doesn't accept these maids, she has lost her decency and deliberately refused to accept the queen's kindness. She doesn't know what's good or bad.

This means that she has to choose even if she doesn’t want to, and she has to keep it even if she doesn’t want to keep it!

In this case, let's take a look at what the Queen has sent!

And here, Aunt Du has already introduced the palace maids one by one, naturally talking about their advantages and strengths, as well as the jobs they are good at.

But just after he praised the first palace maid, Ah Jiu waved his hand and said, "Aunt Du, do I want to keep all these palace ladies?"

Aunt Du smiled and said: "Of course not, Empress Jieyu will leave a few of them if she can see them."

"Then how many should I keep?"

"According to regulations, Empress Jieyu should have at least six maids serving her. One is in charge of jewelry, one is in charge of refreshments and meals, and one..."

"Okay, okay, I like peace and quiet, so just tell me I should keep at least a few."

As she said that, Ah Jiu yawned. If Aunt Du hadn't appeared, she would have fallen asleep beautifully by now!

"Uh..." Seeing Ah Jiu's tired face, as if she was annoyed, although Aunt Du, who was always used to being praised by others, was unhappy, she still said with a smile.
