Chapter 322 The punching drum

After seeing Yan Ni off, Miaomiao was very upset: "Empress, did you really let her go to the Empress Dowager's Palace?"

Chi Xia nodded: "Of course. The talent show is not a joke. The female officials are all selected through the assessment. How can they be said to be abolished?"

In order to change the talent show to select female officials, Yongzheng did so much openly and secretly. If Yan Ni slaps herself and destroys the system, it would become a laughing stock in the world.

Miaomiao frowned: "But the Empress Dowager obviously had to choose her because her face looked very similar to you. After she went there, the Empress Dowager might use her as a raft to embarrass you."

She complained, "This cousin is really true. Even though she knows that the Queen Mother can't get along with you, she still has to go to the Queen Mother's harem."

Chi Xia coughed, "What are you saying? The Empress Dowager is "worrying" about me and the Emperor, what can't you get through?"

After saying that, he put down the teacup and said seriously: "In the future, you must also remember that they are female officials of grades, and like those who are officials in the court, they passed the exam with dignity."

"You should treat the officials outside. You must not treat them as much as you are my close-fitting palace maid. Do you know?"

Miaomiao pursed her mouth and was about to agree.

Chi Xia said again: "But everyone has likes and dislikes. You must respect her in business. You may not like her in personal relationships and will not affect each other."

She smiled and added: "I don't like her anyway."

Miaomiao was immediately happy: "Yes, I will obey the orders of the Empress!"

Chi Xia waved her hand: "Go outside to welcome the three empresses. When they arrive, we will take the new female officials to pay tribute to the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager has been "ill" these days, and they ask for peace outside the Shoukang Palace every day, and most of the Empress Dowager will not meet.

I was intrigued today, but when I heard that they had arrived, I called in.

Chi Xia sighed secretly, probably because it was because of the extra Yan Ni.

...

As expected.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw people sitting on the chairs on both sides of the flower hall. Yan Ni was leading five or six little palace maids in to serve tea.

On the right are the wife of Guarja, the two wives of the Uya family of the Empress Dowager, and on the left are the concubine Wanyan of Yunzi, and the concubine Niuhulu of the Seventeenth-year-old.

Chi Xia saw the "highlights" here with a glance.

Yanni changed into a dress.

When she entered the palace, she wore the official uniform of a seventh-rank female official, similar to the aunt in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The color was dark green as the background and decorated with silver orchid embroidered with silver thread. It was specially designed by Concubine Qi for female officials.

Now it has been replaced with the clothes that I always have.

Although I often go to the queen, imperial concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, and noble man, I just happened to be the seventh rank, but I often don't have auspicious clothes. Even if I wear them on relatively formal occasions, I just wear them in ordinary stone blue clothes.

Forget it.

Chi Xia recognized that this was a clothing that she always wore, mainly because she wore a very similar piece, probably when the Queen Mother enthroned her.

It’s also difficult for the Queen Mother. There are no concubines in the harem who are often of grade now. I don’t know where she found such a set of clothes.

...

When everyone saw the queen and the third concubine arrived, they quickly stood up to salute.

Chi Xia said "No gift".

Yan Ni also squatted in a hurry, and the tea tray was jingling.

The Queen Mother sat upside down and frowned immediately: "What about the rules? Why is it so frustrating to serve tea?"

Yan Ni shook her hand and accidentally sprinkled a little water stain on the tea tray onto Niuhulu's shoes.

The empress dowager said coldly: "What's going on? The Seventeenth daughter-in-law is weak. If she catches a cold for a while, can you bear it?"

Yanni bit her lip: "Father Jin, please forgive me, I will help you wipe it."

Prince Guo County Fujin Niuhulu was not strong in his body and had always been a simple person. He had just heard people talk about gossip.

Speaking of the Queen Mother's talent show, she chose a female official, who looked very similar to the Queen.

Now, I almost passed by when I saw it.

This is more than just a similar one?

Isn’t this just a mold?! She was still wearing the clothes that she always wore, and the queen was always enshrined as soon as she entered the harem!

Yanni squatted and knelt down.

Niuhulu didn't dare to look at her at all, and felt that her head was as big as a fight.

This seventh-rank female official squatted and knelt in front of her to polish her shoes. This is a shell that needs to be blown up at any time.

Niuhulu turned his head to look at Wanyan.

Wanyan thought that if she could write in her eyes, she would probably have written "Save me! Save me!"

Wanyan smiled and smoothed out the situation.

"I heard that the female officials just entered the palace today, so I must not be familiar with the rules in the palace. Prince Guo, Fujin, has always been the most kind and will not blame him. You all go down."

The Empress Dowager has always been very proud of this young daughter-in-law, but she responded: "Don't you thank the two concubines?"

After saying that, he sighed, "What kind of female official? During the talent show, the Ai family looked like a good person. Why did they do things so unpredictable? It reminded the Ai family of people of the cleverness of the queen when she entered the palace."

Chi Xia didn't even look at Yan Ni. Since she was the female official in the empress dowager's harem, the empress dowager could use whatever she wanted.

So whether Yanni is serving tea or shining shoes, she just treats her as an ordinary palace maid, and she doesn't plan to take on this conversation.

After asking An, he said, "Look at it today, the emperor's mother is more energetic than the previous few days. Why wouldn't it be better to ask Concubine Nian to ask for your pulse?"

The Empress Dowager was not feeling uncomfortable, and today she had a grinding Yan Ni in front of Chi Xia. She felt that her breath was completely relieved and she was very happy. She dared not let Concubine Nian take her pulse.

He waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, the Ai family is just feeling upset."

This is beyond my mind.

The Empress Dowager sang a one-man show alone: ​​"The Ai family remembered that when the late emperor was in the palace, the little princess was born almost every year. Why did they get to the emperor's place so thin? "

"When the emperor was in the residence, there were still a few princes. Why did he not find any pregnant people in the harem when he ascended the throne?"

Chi Xia smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that the empress dowager became more and more distorted, Geng had to cheer up and respond with a smile: "The empress dowager is too worried, didn't the imperial prison say that, it will be fine when the heavenly vision passes. The emperor is in full swing in the spring and autumn, so why is the empress dowager?

Worrying that there are no grandchildren and daughters to be happy?”

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "Who knew that the foreigners could understand the heavenly appearance? I heard that the Imperial Heavenly Prison has been merged into the Science and Technology Bureau. I think it is only the Queen's order."

Chi Xia was calm: "The emperor was joking. The way of heaven is normal, not for Yao, nor for Jie. If you don't believe it, just look for others and take a look."

Wanyan stood up with a smile: "It turns out that the Queen Mother has been so worried and thinking about this recently. There is a saying that the daughter-in-law really doesn't want to vomit. I hope the Queen and everyone will not blame him."
