Wei Jiashu only learned after his eighteenth birthday that Xia Guifei was going to stay in the Forbidden City for the summer this year.

"Is it because the emperor won't let her go, or is it ......" Wei Jiashu asked in a low voice.

Yingluo said in a low voice: "The slave maid inquired, and the Chang'an Palace said that the concubine Niangniang was unwell and couldn't afford to travel tirelessly, so she asked to stay in the palace." ”

Wei Jiashu asked, "The four princes—"

"The Fourth Highness has not yet been enrolled." Yingluo Road.

Yes, if you haven't entered the school yet, you don't have to follow the imperial father to the palace to study.

"I lived in the palace for half a year last year." Wei Jiashu muttered to himself.

And it is obviously impossible for the virtuous concubine to ask herself to stay in the Forbidden City for the sake of her son.

Xia Guifei's move, although not smart, choked the key point.

When the emperor drove back to Luan, I was afraid that the four princes would not recognize their biological mother.

In order to monopolize this child, Xia Guifei actually gave up competing for favor.

Well, about Xia Guifei also understood that it was impossible for her to be favored, so she simply put her mind on the fourth prince Xiu Jian.

"It's okay not to go, the concubines are all going with you, and you will live in the Forbidden City." Wei Jiashu muttered to himself.

Even, if she falls out of favor one day, she is willing to stay in the Forbidden City and be the company of those concubines and concubines who have also fallen out of favor.

The palace people are already busy picking up their bags, and this year they have added meat cubs and a lot of baby products, so there are more luggage.

In addition, Wei Jiashu has been upgraded by two levels compared to last year, and she should eat, wear, and chew like a rocket, so her luggage has also increased a lot.

On the occasion of this busy time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent the palace maids for this year's small election.

The election time of this dynasty is in the first month of each year, and then it needs to go through at least three months of palace maid training before being assigned to each palace and each court on an errand.

Looking at the group of young girls kneeling under the verandah of the main hall, all of them were minors without exception, Wei Jiashu really had no choice.

Among them, many little palace maids have shaved their heads, and only an inch of short hair has grown, like a tomboy.

Although it is now the era of the first industrial revolution, the health of the working people at the bottom is still worrying, so the first thing a woman from a poor family is to shave her head when she is elected to the palace - the purpose is to eradicate lice.

If it is a woman from a wealthy family, the hair should also be carefully checked to make sure that there are no lice, so that the hair can be retained.

Wei Jiashu then instructed Yingluo: "You just look at how many you choose." After being promoted to the concubine master, although there are still strict restrictions on the number of first-class and second-class palace maids who are close to each other, the number of people in the rough palace is relatively broad, less than thirty or forty people, and more than seventy or eighty people, mainly depending on whether they are favored.

As a favored concubine, plus there is a small master in Changqiu Palace, so the expansion of the number of palace people to three digits is also completely in line with the rules.

Since moving into the main hall, Wei Jiashu has promoted the most loyal bamboo rhyme for the first time, as well as the embroidery appointed by the emperor as the first-class palace maid, Qingdai, Qingluo, Qingtang, Qingxing, and Qingxing The four green-character palace maids are the second-class palace maids, Yingluo and Wen Mama are appointed by the emperor and are teaching grandmothers, so they do not occupy the quota of personal palace maids.

As for the fleshy cub's side, the staffing is not much better than her, two stewards and eunuchs, eight nurses, eight nannies, four pulp washing palace maids, four needlework palace maids, eight little palace maids, and a number of rough palace people.

Therefore, the mother and son lived together in the side hall before, so they felt crowded.

Wei Jiashu was under the west window, carefully polishing the pair of fat little feet on the canvas - she had drawn so many sketches for Rou Rou, and finally chose the most pleasing one among them, upgraded it into an oil painting, and now it is almost finished.

When she put down the brush, Yingluo came forward to bless her body, "Niangniang, the slave maid picked twelve little palace maids, four of them are slightly literate, four needlework is not bad, the slave maid sent to Zhuyun, Xiu'er and Mama Wen to learn the rules, slowly observe for a period of time, if you are really loyal and clever, and then do promotion." ”

Wei Jiashu let out a faint "hmm" and ordered: "When this painting is dried, it will be framed and hung in the Xiuyou house." ”

Yingluo smiled embarrassedly: "Niangniang's painting is very good, but it is more delicate." ”

The Xiuyou on the painting is wrapped in a small quilt of peach blossoms and spring swallows, and is also surrounded by spring flowers, looking like a little girl.

Wei Jiashu said, "Children, they are naturally as delicate as flower bones." ”

Yingluo couldn't help but say in his heart: But His Royal Highness the Sixth is the prince......

In such a flower-blooming season, the royal driver set off and went to the Daxuan Palace to avoid the noise and listen to the government.

Coming to the Qingliang Hall that she was familiar with again, her eyes were full of flowers, Wei Jiashu couldn't help pinching the little paws of the fleshy cub, "When I came here last year, you were still in my belly." ”

"Ah~ah~" Flesh spit baby words in his mouth, although he didn't know what it meant, he seemed to like this novelty place.

The flower room of the Great Xuan Palace is busy moving pots of seasonal flowers and trees to the corridor of the Qingliang Palace, and after a while, it is a piece of purple and red.

A moon-ring parrot was also added under the corridor, which looks verdant and green, very fresh and environmentally friendly.

It's just that the cry is not very pleasant, rattling, like a crow.

Just thinking about this, the bird training eunuch of the Bird Division of the Great Xuan Palace was busy teasing the environmentally friendly parrot, "Hurry up and give the mother a nice sound!" So saying, the eunuch quickly fed the parrot a little bird food.

"Quack~" The parrot crow crowed twice, ate the bait, and then changed his mouth and shouted: "Blessings to the mother!" ”

Although the cry was similar to the throat of a male duck, and it was not very clear, it still attracted the amazement of many palace people.

Wei Jiashu also smiled, "It's not bad, just stay." ”

asked Yingluo to reward the bird training eunuch with a silver bill, the eunuch smiled from ear to ear, quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and told some ideas for raising birds, and left a special bird food, and then knelt down.

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "This parrot is really smart, and it looks very good, verdant and verdant!" ”

Well, the green is very pretty.

Wei Jiashu's smile revealed a different kind of deep meaning, "Then let's call it Xiaocui." ”

"Meow~!" The lion cat on the ground let out a low meow, and the blazing mandarin duck stared at the parrot Xiaocui hanging high on the gold wire shelf under the porch.

Wei Jiashu smiled, almost forgetting that cats and birds are natural enemies, but at this height, it should be no problem.

is mainly because Xiao Ai was raised by her to be fattened, and her jumping power was greatly reduced...... An orange cat, you still want to jump on it to catch a bird?

Although Xiao Ai only has an orange heart on her head, she can be regarded as an orange cat.

Wei Jiashu squatted down and touched Xiao Ai's hairy head caressingly, "Okay, be nice~"

"Meow~" Xiao Ai screamed sweetly, and the fried hair on her body instantly calmed down.

Zhu Yun chirped: "Slave and maid, look, it's competing for favor!" ”

Wei Jiashu sneered, "It's like becoming a refinement." ”
