Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 33: Calculation Again
Huanyi Bureau.

The palace maids were still squatting by the canal, washing clothes seriously.

The only difference was that there was a palace maid dozing off on a small stool.

This palace maid was Su Lian.

Now that she is a supervisor, she naturally does not have to participate in the work of washing clothes. She just needs to carry a small stool and sit next to it.

But this job was naturally very boring. Su Lian couldn't help but take a nap while working after only working for a few days.

Looking at Su Lian's appearance, the palace maids were both envious and jealous.

They couldn't help but discuss in a low voice:

"Look at Su Lian. Ever since she became a favorite of Auntie, she's been living a carefree life."

"I really don't know how she got the chance to be so valued by my aunt all of a sudden. I still haven't been able to find out the truth."

"Humph! With her personality, even if she becomes Auntie's favorite for a while, her popularity won't last long."

"That's right, it's not easy to stay in the palace. Wait and see her make a mistake. Then she'll cry."

……

The palace maids were inevitably filled with resentment.

As laundry women, they are more diligent and know more about the rules than Su Lian. Why can't they enjoy the same treatment as Su Lian?
The one who was most dissatisfied was a palace maid with a melon-shaped face.

Last time, she plotted to frame Su Lian, but ended up losing more than she gained. Instead, she was slapped in the face by her aunt and her head turned into a pig's head.

Now that the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten, the evil thoughts in the oval-faced palace maid's mind have resurfaced.

Especially when she saw Su Lian's terrible appearance with saliva flowing out and bubbles coming out of her nose while napping, she was even more angry:
"Just wait for me, little hooves!"

"Sooner or later I will find an opportunity to make you suffer!"

The oval-faced palace maid didn't dare to hold a grudge against her aunt, so Su Lian became her best target of hatred.

At this time.

I saw a figure walking towards me.

It was everyone’s aunt Guo Min.

Seeing Guo Min, everyone hurriedly washed the clothes, not daring to be lazy at all.

Seeing that everyone was working hard, Guo Min couldn't help but nodded.

But when she saw Su Lian dozing off, she couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

The oval-faced maid hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying flatteringly:

"Aunt, what is your purpose for coming here this time?"

"Just tell me, auntie, and I'll get everything done for you."

Ever since her face was swollen after being slapped by Guo Min last time, the oval-faced palace maid not only did not dare to hold a grudge, but instead became more and more trying to please Guo Min.

This made Guo Min think that the oval-faced palace maid was really convinced.

So Guo Min said:

"Hu Shangyi will be here in a quarter of an hour."

"Tell everyone to tidy up their appearance and not lose their composure in front of Hu Shangyi."

At this point, Guo Min pointed at the dozing Su Lian:
"And her, let her sleep for a while longer, and remember to wake her up in advance."

Hearing this, the palace maids were all surprised.

Hu Shangyi actually wanted to come to this shabby place, their laundry department?

This is the first time ever!
You must know that Hu Shangyi is in charge of the entire Shangyi Bureau, has a fifth-rank rank, and is in charge of the etiquette and daily life of the harem.

The official position was not very high and the power was not very great.

But it is very special!

Because in addition to being responsible for etiquette and daily life, the Shangyi Bureau was also responsible for palace banquets and even the emperor's visits to concubines.

It is for this reason that the concubines in the harem all have a good relationship with Hu Shangyi.

No one dared to underestimate Hu Shangyi's status in the harem.

"Auntie, I understand. Don't worry."

After being surprised, the oval-faced palace maid hurriedly made an assurance.

Guo Min nodded, then turned and left.

As soon as Guo Min left, the palace maids hurriedly began to tidy up their appearance.

Everyone knew that Hu Shangyi was strict. If she saw a palace maid who violated etiquette, she would inevitably punish her. Even the concubines would be scolded by her.

Although this big shot has not yet appeared, he has already brought great psychological pressure to everyone.

By the time the palace maids had finished tidying up, a quarter of an hour had almost passed.

A palace maid saw Su Lian still dozing off, oblivious to everything around her, and couldn't help but want to remind her.

No one expected it.

The oval-faced palace maid actually stopped the attempt to wake Su Lian up.

The oval-faced maid whispered with jealousy:

"Don't you guys dislike this little bitch?" "Now Hu Shangyi is coming. If she sees this little bitch sleeping while working, guess what will happen?"

Upon hearing this, all the palace maids looked nervous.

They didn't want to see Hu Shangyi lose her temper.

But at the same time, they did not want to offend the oval-faced palace maid in person.

Everyone knows that this oval-faced palace maid has a vicious heart. Once you offend her, you must always be on guard against her plotting behind your back.

In the end, the palace maids chose to remain silent.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with them.

My aunt arranged the palace maid with a melon-seed face to do this, and if something went wrong, she would only blame the palace maid with a melon-seed face.

The oval-faced maiden looked sinister:
"That's the right thing to do."

"I will take revenge, so if you don't want to mess with me, just keep quiet."

This time, she must let this little bitch Su Lian see how dangerous the palace is!

Even if it meant being punished by her aunt, she would make sure that Su Lian would never be able to turn over a new leaf.

If Su Lian behaves disrespectfully in front of Hu Shangyi, she will never be able to be a favorite of her aunt again!
At this time.

I saw a group of people walking over.

They were the officials of all ranks in the laundry department.

But the one walking in front was a female official.

The first impression this female official gives people is exquisiteness!
Everything about her, from her makeup to her clothes, and even her every move, is so exquisite that no one can find any fault with it.

It’s no wonder that she is so exquisite, because she represents the training and supervision of the appearance of the entire harem.

She is very young, looking to be in her early twenties, but she is able to make Guo Min, who is in her thirties, follow her closely.

Especially her stern and solemn aura, which made the group of laundry officials behind her unable to raise their heads.

This female official was none other than Hu Rong, the head of the Shangyi Bureau.

Hu Rong strode over.

The maids in the laundry department saluted hurriedly:

"Meet Hu Shangyi!"

Hu Rong nodded and was about to speak.

suddenly.

A soft snoring sound was heard.

The palace maids felt a tightness in their hearts.

But the palace maid with an oval face tried hard to suppress her smile. She had been waiting for this moment.

Hu Rong turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

I happened to see Su Lian who was still taking a nap.

At this moment, the hearts of the officials of the laundry department were instantly in their throats.

Guo Min, who was accompanying her, was also stunned at first, then turned around and glared fiercely at the oval-faced palace maid.

She really didn't expect that she would be tricked by this oval-faced palace maid.

This made Guo Min so angry that his teeth itched.

Hu Rong frowned and asked Guo Min in a deep voice:

"Secretary Guo, what's wrong with this guy?"

Guo Min quickly replied:

"To answer Shangyi's question, her name is Su Lian, and she is the most diligent maid in our laundry department."

"Because last night she volunteered to work overtime and stayed up all night washing the clothes sent by Yufu Palace. She didn't sleep the entire night."

"That's why she was exhausted today, so we made an exception and let her take a nap due to the special circumstances of the laundry department."

"Shangyi, I'll go and tell her to get up and salute."

Hu Rong heard this, but did not delve into it. Instead, she looked thoughtful.

At this time, Guo Min hurried forward to wake Su Lian up.

Su Lian was still confused and had not figured out what was going on.

Seeing that Guo Min was about to help Su Lian get away with it, the oval-faced maid gritted her teeth and stepped forward, saying:

"Hu Shangyi, Su Lian was just lazy and sleeping during work!"

"She didn't last night—"

The oval-faced palace maid hadn't finished speaking.

A loud shout suddenly rang out:
"Shut up!"

Surprisingly, the person who broke the drink was not Guo Min.

But it’s Hu Rong!
