Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 4 Promotion of talents
After the chat, it's time to get down to business.

On the way here, Jiang Man was mentally prepared, telling herself that no matter how painful it was for a while, she had to hold back, but she must never bite the emperor again.

But when she really got to the point, Jiang Man realized that her psychological preparation was in vain, and she was sent back to Yufu Garden. When she was lying on the bed, Jiang Man was still thinking in a daze that not only would it not hurt, but it would be quite comfortable this time. , the only downside is a little tired.

Jiang Man slept soundly that night, but many people in the harem couldn't sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Man had just finished her breakfast when the orders for rewards and promotions arrived at Yufuyuan.

After Jiang Man took several people from Yufuyuan to receive the order to thank him, Xiao Anzi, the eunuch who was in charge of coming to announce the order, smiled and said to Jiang Man: "The villain congratulates the talented."

Jiang Man smiled and said a few words politely, then took the purse from Lianqiu's hand and stuffed it into Xiao'anzi's hand, "Please Eunuch An, please make this trip."

Xiao Anzi weighed the purse in his hand, and the smile on his face deepened, "You're being polite, it's a villain's honor to be able to enjoy Cairen's happiness."

As soon as Xiao Anzi and the others left Yufu Garden, Lianqiu, Xiaodouzi, and Xiao Guozi gathered around to congratulate Jiang Man, and Jiang Man did not spoil everyone's interest, and rewarded the three of them with money.

After they were happy, everyone turned their attention to the rewards from the emperor, and Lianqiu's eyes were glued to two pieces of fabric, "This is the legendary brocade tribute, it really is It is as beautiful as the clouds in the sky, and it is just right to send it to the Shang Gong Bureau, so that they can help you make two spring clothes again, master."

The two pieces of cloud brocade are water red and peach red, both of which are very suitable for Jiang Man's age.

Jiang Man stepped forward to look at the pieces of cloth and jewelry, pointed to a light yellow cloth and a willow green cloth and told Lianqiu, "Send these two pieces of cloth to Shanggong Bureau and let them see them." Just make two clothes."

"Then what about these two pieces of brocade?" Lianqiu looked away from the brocade and looked at the two pieces of fabric that Jiang Man pointed to. Although the two batches of fabric were not bad, they were still inferior to the brocade.

Jiang Man said softly: "Put away the brocade and other fabrics first."

Lianqiu looked at the two brocades with some regret, and put them away at Jiang Man's request. Lianqiu wanted to say that the emperor rewarded the cloth for his son to wear, and the color of the two brocades was really very beautiful. It is suitable for the master. If the master uses those two brocades to make two clothes and wear them on the body, it will definitely look good, but she also knows that although the master looks good and talkative, he always has his own ideas. It didn't work either.

The news of the people in the harem has always been well informed. The emperor met Jiang Baolin in Yufuyuan the day before, and ordered Jiang Baolin to serve him at the bed the next day. The news of the news spread throughout the palaces as if it had grown wings.

Concubine Gao Xian in Lama Temple listened to the little eunuch's reply, curled her lips, "I didn't see it before, this one is also capable, Hu Meiren only got a piece of brocade before, right?"

The court lady Lianxiang nodded, "Hu Meiren, Lu Meiren, and Jiang Cairen are all on the same horse."

Concubine Gao Xian snorted coldly: "She passed these three people at once, and she doesn't know what mood these three people are in now."

Lian Xiang said: "Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, Hu Meiren and the one from Yuyang Palace didn't show anything on the surface, but the one from Luomeiju is said to have smashed a set of white jade tea sets."

Another court lady, Lian Qiao, said: "That Luomeiju feels favored and never takes others seriously. Now she is overwhelmed by someone who is lower than her. What's the point of smashing a tea set? I don't know what she will do later. What's the matter?"

Concubine Gao Xian tapped the table with her finger painted with Koudan, her tone full of resentment, "It doesn't matter how they fight, anyway, even if the emperor comes, our Lama Temple is not here for me, you just need to keep an eye on Hu Meiren It's fine, she has a lot of holy favors, why is there no movement in her stomach? Did she obediently drink the body conditioning medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor?"

Lian Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, ma'am, we've been keeping an eye on Beauty Hu, and she hasn't missed a single meal of the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor."

"That's good. In Yufuyuan, you guys watch and send something over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yufuyuan, which was normally neglected, suddenly became crowded.

Lianqiu and the two little eunuchs, Xiaodouzi and Xiaoguozi, kept their feet on the ground, and Jiang Man herself was not at ease. Most of the high-ranking and favored masters sent eunuchs and maids over, and most of the low-ranking and unfavored masters sent them over. They are all in person.

After seeing off the last person who came to congratulate, Jiang Man drank a cup of tea and couldn't help complaining, "This Shi Baolin and Xing Yunu are too good at talking."

The two of them almost didn't stop talking when they came and left, and Jiang Man didn't bother to speak later, and the two of them could talk to themselves. If it wasn't getting late, the two of them could continue talking.

Lianqiu refilled Jiang Man's cup with tea, and said with a smile: "It's also the master, you are different now that they come to curry favor with you, otherwise why don't you see them coming to your door on weekdays."

Jiang Man cast a sideways glance at Lianqiu, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What is different from the past, and you must never say such things in the future."

Lianqiu also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly admitted, "I'm sorry, master, it's the servant who is confused."

Jiang Man picked up the teacup and took a sip, her face softened a little, "I know you are happy for me, but I am just a small talent now, how different can I be from Baolin before? Not to mention the nine concubines I'm a good lady, only talented people, are there not many beauties and Jieyu in this palace? If you become frivolous just because I have served two times and have been promoted to a talented person, you will hurt yourself sooner or later. It harmed our entire Yufuyuan."

Lianqiu lowered her head in shame, "I know I was wrong, master, I will be more careful in my words and deeds in the future."

Seeing that she heard it, Jiang Man nodded and talked about the congratulatory gift received today, "You guys have been tired all day today, so don't rush to collect these things today, and wait until tomorrow to make a booklet. The ones that go into the treasury are put into the treasury."

The next day, when Jiang Man was instructing Lianqiu and the others to sort out the congratulatory gifts they received yesterday, Eunuch Qi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly came to Yufu Garden with a dozen court ladies and eunuchs.

After welcoming the person in and taking a seat, Jiang Man asked with a puzzled look: "Eunuch Qi, is this?"

Eunuch Qi smiled kindly, "According to the regulations, there should be four maids and four eunuchs around Cairen. Before Cairen, there was a lack of a maid to serve you, and now that you have been promoted, there should be more There were three court ladies, two eunuchs, and the slaves were worried that Cai Ren would be short of someone to take care of him, so he finally picked out a dozen or so smart ones from the pile of stupid ones, and brought them here for Cai Ren to see if they were still alive. Chinese use."

"Trouble Eunuch." Jiang Man smiled and nodded, "I really lack people here, Eunuch is really timely."
