Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Miaoyu was given the title of Shangyi, in charge of six bureaus and one department. Now she is a female official. Remember to say hello to her later."

Hearing this, several people were a little confused. Why did Miaoyu want to become a female official? With Jia Hong's love for her, even if it was a concubine, Jia Hong should not be stingy.

However, a few girls with quick minds guessed what Miaoyu was thinking.

There are some problems with Miaoyu's identity. Before entering the palace, she was a Taoist monk. Taoist monks are supposed to be pure and not be contaminated by the worldly world. But now that she has entered the palace and was made a concubine by Jia Hong, it is inevitable that she will cause gossip.

Of course, this cannot be said to be decisive. After all, Jia Rong’s words are so influential that no one would dare to say anything nonsense even if he is made the queen. But this result may not be what Miaoyu herself wants. She is indifferent and worldly power is dispensable to her. She only has a liking for the young man in her youth and regards him as a confidant.

"Meet Miao Shangyi."

The girls came into the house and greeted Miaoyu. Without Miaoyu saying anything, Grandmother Jia brought up the matter.

"Shangyi's visit this time was the emperor's idea. Actually, the emperor and you sisters are old acquaintances. Today, the emperor issued an imperial decree to summon you to the palace to serve him. It doesn't matter which family you are from. The eunuchs in the palace will deliver the message in a while. If you have any questions, ask before entering the palace."

This one word caused a thousand waves. When the women heard this, they were all stunned at the same time.

Some of them had strange expressions. Recruiting people into the palace to serve the emperor was a traditional practice since ancient times, but this was the first time to recruit so many people at once.

"Sister Miaoyu, is this what Brother Xuan meant?"

Among the people here, only Daiyu, Xichun and Miaoyu were familiar with each other. The others were just nodding acquaintances. When they encountered this matter, they were unable to open their mouths for a while. Daiyu thought about it, then walked out from the group of sisters and asked.

Jia Hong did not say anything explicitly about this matter. These were all his guesses. But at this time, she would not say that they were all her guesses. Girls are sensitive, so she would not spoil the fun.

"I came here on orders. Sister, do you think this is what he meant?"

Daiyu's face turned red. She was naturally happy about this, but by asking for so many people at once, wasn't he afraid that the officials in the court would remonstrate with him and scold him for being obsessed with women and incompetent?

"There is only Concubine Yi in the palace now, and a noble lady from the Fan family. There are not so many rules, but we still need to hire a few maids to teach the girls some etiquette. They will have the position of the Sixth Concubine in the future. If there is a joke, it will be spread out and affect the reputation of the mansion."

Grandmother Jia nodded happily. The nanny she brought from home was more reliable than the old people in the palace. No one knew what those people's tempers were like and how they would torture these little girls!

"Noble Concubine Yi?"

"She is the imperial concubine. The emperor doesn't like this title, so he told the people in the palace to call her Imperial Concubine Yi as before. When the six palaces are stable, she will retire after completing her mission."

When talking about Jia Yuanchun, the sisters looked a little regretful. That elder sister seemed to be only a few years older than them, but they never expected that she had become a concubine. How would they survive the future?

"Madam, now that everyone is here, I have to go back to the palace to report. The personal maid can accompany you. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared everything the girls need, so you don't need to bring anything."

"As for the nanny, when the old lady finds her, she will send someone to the harem to say hello. I will arrange for someone to pick her up. As for other matters, the old lady can rest assured that Concubine Yi will assist in the harem and will not mistreat the girls."

At first, Grandmother Jia was indeed worried that several girls in the mansion would suffer losses after entering the palace. After all, there would be more than just these people in the future palace. But when she heard Miaoyu mention Yuanchun, she felt relieved again.

This is absolutely true. In the harem, Yuanchun is now the only one in power, and no one can bully Daiyu and the others.

Looking at the backs of the girls leaving, Grandmother Jia's nose felt sore and her eyes suddenly turned red.

After all, they were all her granddaughters and children of her generation, and now they are all gone one by one, and she feels really reluctant to let them go.

"Grandma, why are you still crying? They are going there to enjoy their lives. If the emperor was someone else, their future would be uncertain. But now that Brother Rong has become the emperor, I bet these girls are so happy that they can't sleep at night." When Grandmother Jia heard this, she thought to herself, yes, if it was someone else, these girls might not be happy, but since that person is Jia Rong, they might be secretly happy in their hearts!

"These little heartless ones, I love them in vain."

"Mandarin duck~~"

Subconsciously, the old lady called out "Yuanyang", but no one answered for a long time. Then the old lady remembered that Yuanyang had also been taken away.

"This little bastard!!"

Feng Jie'er's face froze and she subconsciously looked around, fearing that someone might have heard her. She could naturally guess who Lady Jia was calling a little bastard.

In the past, it wouldn't have mattered if she had cursed him a few times, but now that he had become the emperor, she could be convicted for any rude remarks.

"Grandfather, please stop talking. If this gets out..."

Grandmother Jia looked displeased and snorted.

"Yuanyang has been with me for so many years, always serving me, and I can't even scold her."

Wang Xifeng's heart beat faster. If it was just Grandmother Jia, she wouldn't care how long she scolded her, but now she was standing by! Who could guarantee that the old lady's words would not reach Jia Hong's ears? She already knew about the leaks in the mansion.

"I'm scolding Yuanyang, why are you so nervous?"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng continued laughing.

"It's okay, it's okay, the old lady scolded him well, he is a little heartless!!"

Grandmother Jia narrowed her eyes, and seemed to be furious. She cursed twice more. Wang Xifeng, who was standing by, could only smile awkwardly. She knew in her heart that the old lady was making a veiled complaint! The person she wanted to curse was not Yuanyang, but Jia Hong.

"Old lady, I actually think this may not be a bad thing for our family."

Feng Jieer tried to persuade Grandmother Jia carefully. After all, Grandmother Jia was very angry. If she really offended her, she would be punished.

"Feng girl, I know everything. This is not a bad thing for our Jia family. On the contrary, it is a great thing. At least when those girls are here, our family can always enjoy wealth and prosperity."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that Lady Jia had calmed down. She was really afraid that because of this incident, Lady Jia would hate Jia Hong, which would be a loss.

In fact, for her, those girls will get married eventually, and it doesn't matter who they marry. Going to the palace will be a greater help to their families, which is what she wants most.

"Just wait and see! This year's draft may not be peaceful"

Suddenly, Grandmother Jia spoke.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows. This time she did not respond, but she knew in her heart that things were not peaceful. With so many girls entering the Jia family at once, the entire harem was almost filled with the surname Jia. It would be strange if those people in the court could sit still.
