But I just saw the first sentence 'Yun, I miss you, can I go back to Beijing to see you?'
When Yan Yunxiao said this, a murderous look suddenly appeared on her face: "I'm going to divorce you!!"
Chapter 174 The Master has drunk this wine, but Your Majesty has not
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless. The entire capital city was illuminated by the dazzling sunlight, cleansing all the darkness.
Inside the palace, there was an uproar among the palace servants because of the registration for the exam.
In the Daxia Palace, there are clear hierarchies. The maids who have just entered the palace are the lowest-ranking maids. Many chores that no one else does are done by these maids.
If she was appreciated by a female official or a noble in the palace, she could leave her lowest position and go to other places to do work. If she was lucky enough to enter the sixth bureau, she would become a lower-ranking palace maid. Although she still had to do some chores, they were just passing messages, serving tea and water, etc., which were much better than what the lowest-ranking palace maids did.
During this period, if one is really lucky and is appreciated by a noble and brought into the palace, or even becomes a close attendant, then it is like a real leap over the dragon gate, and one becomes a top-class palace maid in one fell swoop, or even a ninth-rank female servant, which is a female official.
But among the thousands of palace maids, not all of them are lucky, so those who were sold into the palace without any connections were all of the lowest class without exception.
Especially in the past few years, Xiang Hong and others under Li Nishang have been making huge amounts of money and accepting bribes from the palace maids, so that some of the palace maids can be upgraded to lower ranks or even become maids. However, if they don't pay some money, they can only continue to wait at the end.
This time, Li Nishang's followers were eliminated, which gave many palace maids hope that they could make a name for themselves. Suddenly, the Queen Mother even arranged such an exam.
Anyone can sign up, and as long as you pass the test, even if you are a lowest-ranking palace maid, you can enter the six rounds. Such a good thing, how could it not make the palace maids excited.
Moreover, you can take the exam for whatever you want to do, with complete freedom. You can even take the exam for those good jobs, as long as there are vacancies.
This was like icing on the cake, making those palace maids who had been bullied and had some skills very unhappy, and they all expressed gratitude to Su Changan, the noble who would definitely become the queen.
just
In fact, many palace maids and eunuchs actually wanted to enter the Lingqi Pavilion.
After all, if one could enter the Lingqi Pavilion and become the Empress's attendant, even if she was a low-ranking palace maid, she would still be a superior existence. Not to mention the ninth-rank female servant, even the seventh-rank or eighth-rank female officials would have to speak politely to her when they saw her.
It's a pity that Lingqi Pavilion no longer accepts palace maids. Everyone could only sigh silently, and felt that Xiangluo, Linghua, Qiushui and others were so lucky to follow the Queen so early.
but.
Not all palace servants wanted to take exams and stand out in the palace.
When Su Changan woke up today, Sun Shanggong, Huang Sibu and others had already arrived and were waiting there.
Su Changan has gotten used to this these days.
And because Yan Yunxiao said that she didn't need to practice like this every day, and didn't need to fight with Lian Wei anymore, Su Changan hadn't been to the martial arts training ground for many days.
However, Su Changan actually wanted to continue practicing martial arts, so he asked Yan Yunxiao.
But the answer given by Yan Yunxiao was that he was practicing too fast and he would talk about it after he had stabilized his sixth level.
So Su Changan now mainly practices [Yiweiting] every day.
[Yi Crisis Stop] After reaching the sixth level in one step, it has now reached the ninth stop.
Every time Su Changan practiced, he could indeed feel that the energy and internal strength in his body were not as solid and stable as they were in the previous three stops, so Su Changan was not impatient and put all his energy into [Yiweiting].
However, Su Changan still practiced calligraphy every day. Although the progress was not great, it was actually much better.
Although Maomao still said it was ugly. '
Besides them
Yan Yunxiao is here today too.
After a simple wash, Su Changan sat in the hall and glanced at Sun Shanggong and others who were holding some official documents that needed his processing.
Su Changan reached out to take it, but after a moment of silence, he looked at Yan Yunxiao who was pinching the cat's face and playing with it.
Su Changan looked uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to resist. Su Changan finally couldn't help but said, "Auntie, why don't we play with my doctor?"
Yan Yunxiao let go of Maomao.
The cat took the opportunity to run away quickly.
However, Yan Yunxiao held his head down. Maomao struggled hard but couldn't break free, so he looked to Su Changan for help.
Yan Yunxiao said, "Ruyu's father has replied, but it's not of much help, so continue to consolidate [Yiweiting]. If you feel itchy, don't fight Lian Wei anymore, go directly to Ruyu for a fight, or find Zhou Qianhong and the others."
Su Changan was about to say something after hearing this.
But he saw Yan Ruyu, who was standing next to Yan Yunxiao, shaking her head, hinting at Su Changan.
Su Changan was a little confused, but he looked at Yan Yunxiao and asked, "Did Uncle say anything in the letter?"
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu sighed.
Yan Yunxiao stood up expressionlessly and pinched Maomao's head with his hands. Obviously, he used too much force. Maomao covered his head with his hands and looked painful.
Yan Yunxiao said coldly: "Miss, just call him Monk. I have divorced him."
As he said that, he let go of the cat and saluted towards Su Changan: "There is nothing else to do. Let's go."
Looking at Yan Yunxiao's back, Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu.
The cat squatted on the ground, holding its head, with a look of pain on its face.
Sun Shang Gong smiled helplessly, obviously knowing something.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and thought for a while before saying, "My father sent me a letter, but... although my father became a monk, his temper has not changed. He wrote some words that mother hates the most in the letter, so mother got angry. She will be fine in a few days. Please forgive me, young lady."
Su Changan was helpless for a moment, but when he saw Yan Ruyu, he felt inexplicably sympathetic. Alas, it must not be easy to have such parents.
However, Su Changan immediately asked, "What did your father say about me in the letter?"
Yan Ruyu said truthfully: "Father said that this is a big one."
Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu, waiting for her to continue.
But Yan Ruyu said nothing more and just looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan blinked: "And then?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "No more."
Su Changan curled his lips.
Yan Ruyu also looked at Su Changan a little embarrassedly: "So, my mother is angry."
Su Changan thought for a moment and asked back, "Was your father chased away by Aunt Yan?"
Yan Ruyu nodded.
Su Changan wanted to say that he deserved it, but then he thought better of it, after all, it was someone else's family business.
And if you think about it carefully, Yan Ruyu's father was not wrong. She really had made great efforts. She went from the third stop to the ninth stop, and even directly reached the current sixth level of strength.
However, seeing Yan Ruyu's embarrassed look, Su Changan smiled and said nothing more, but looked at Sun Shanggong: "What about Auntie?"
Sun Shang Gong smiled and said, "Regarding the examination in the palace, registration has started now. It's quite lively, but the queen said that she won't recruit any more palace maids into the palace for now. We will just use the ones we have now, so she hasn't advertised it to the public."
Su Changan nodded: "Aren't there more than 4,000 people left now? That's enough. There's no need for too many people. After all, the only ones who really serve you are Your Majesty and me. Too many people will also be expensive, but the palace is too big. If these people are really not enough, the rotation will be tight. Then we can recruit new people into the palace."
Sun Shanggong said: "Young lady can make the decision, and the palace people are also very happy when you proposed the rotation of rest. However, some people looked at the palace people who were sent out of the palace just because of Li Nichang's implication. Some people in the palace also plan to follow suit and leave the palace. Yesterday, some people came to my place and lied about their connections."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment.
Huang Sibu explained it in detail.
In fact, to put it bluntly, some palace servants were unwilling to continue staying in the palace, but because of their indentures, they had no choice but to stay in the palace.
However, in this case of Li Nishang, although many people directly related to her were beheaded and the inferior ones were demoted to slavery and exiled, those who were only vaguely related were directly sent out of the palace to fend for themselves.
Therefore, those who did not want to stay in the palace thought they could do the same and leave the palace.
Su Changan knew a lot about the history of his previous life. After thinking for a while, he looked at Sun Shanggong and asked, "Are there many people?"
Sun Shang Gong nodded: "There are dozens of people. If there were fewer people, I wouldn't dare to disturb the young lady with such things."
After that, Sun Shang Gong added: "According to convention, when the palace maids reach the age limit, they will return their indentures and be released. Some of the maids around the nobles will also be married off by the nobles. But in recent years, our palace is special. Some maids are old, but Li Nishang has not ordered them to be released, so it is inevitable that more maids want to leave. However, I asked some people, and everyone wants to try the exam held by the young lady this time. In particular, many old maids are sad to know that they will be out of the palace. It is better for them to stay and work hard, maybe they can still get an official position."
Su Changan frowned upon hearing this, "Don't these people understand that if they leave under the name of Li Nishang, they will be linked to the traitor for life? The household registration office will also send the news over."
Sun Shanggong smiled bitterly and shook her head. She looked at Su Changan and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Su Changan sighed, thinking that maybe those people knew about it, but they had been in the palace for a long time, so he frowned and said, "How about this, those who are old and want to leave, just let them go this time, but it has nothing to do with Li Nishang, it's just because they are old enough, the palace let them go. For those who have any connection with Li Nishang, tell them the seriousness of the matter. After all, they are leaving the palace, and give each of them some silver, saying that it is a reward from His Majesty for their many years of service in the palace."
Sun Shang Gong thought about it and thought that this was the best way at the moment. It would not only not discourage the palace ladies, but also show her generosity.
Sun Shang Gong said, "I will do it later. I believe they will understand your majesty's generosity and kindness."
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "Rules are rules. We should act according to the rules and then make some adjustments. However, there are so many people. Someone might have instigated them. Auntie, please check it out. Don't tell them that someone deliberately instigated them. When they get out, they will say that they were wronged. That would humiliate your majesty's reputation."
Upon hearing this, Sun Shang Gong and Huang Si Bu were both stunned. They indeed had not expected this step.
Immediately, Huang Sibu said, "Miss, you are smart. I will check it right away."
Su Changan thought for a while and then immediately said: "If there is really someone instigating it, it is someone in the palace who has his own thoughts. For this exam, I want to test people around His Majesty or those in positions such as the Shang Palace Bureau. My aunt also Let’s check it out carefully.”
Sun Shang Gong bowed and said, "My lady, you have thought it through. I will definitely check it out."
After that, Sun Shang Gong said, "Miss, you can just take a look at the rest. They are all about the progress of the exams and the results of some things that are happening in the harem."
Su Changan nodded.
And Sun Shang Gong continued, "Miss, the chief priest Mu and Lord Mi have been waiting for a long time."
Su Changan, who had just picked up an official document, looked at Sun Shanggong and said, "Lord Mi?"
Sun Shang Gong nodded and said, "Secretary General Mi Wanjun, Lord Mi."
After that, Sun Shang Gong added: "He is the student of the Grand Tutor. This morning, Lord Yang Guofu brought the gold bribed by the Japanese to the court and cried. His Majesty reprimanded him, but I think the Grand Tutor must be worried, so he specially sent his godson here. However, I think it may be that Lord Mi came here on his own initiative. This man is very good at getting along with everyone."
At this point, Sun Shanggong lowered her voice and said, "It's on your majesty's list."
Although Sun Shang Gong did not explain it clearly, Su Changan understood the meaning. This person must have seen that the Grand Tutor was not doing well, so he started looking for someone else to join him.
And this is His Majesty's list.
Su Changan knew it.
After all, Su Changan had seen that there were two lists, one of which contained several people who would be reused.
There are many other people on the list, including Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing. You can imagine what this list means.
