ugly queen

Chapter 18

As the head of the harem, the empress should be allocated one chief eunuch, two female officials, ten court ladies, and ten eunuchs, and the other concubines will decrease in descending order.

The chief eunuch Jiang Cheng listed out the people who waited on the empress, and they stood in a row, Liu Liu felt a headache. If these people surrounded her all day, she might not have any freedom at all. The Qing Palace is no different from the Leng Palace, why do you want so many people there?Most of these eunuchs and maids are unwilling to go, everyone's face is full of disappointment, these servants in the palace are all snobbish, everyone wants to follow the favored empress, just this early in the morning, Empress Liu is not welcome. The matter of pets has been leaked out, so who would like to live in Huaqing Palace, which is located in Linleng Palace, that place usually doesn't even have a ghost, and it is desolate and desolate. If you want to do something ahead, you need to travel a long way.

The chief eunuch, Jiang Cheng, walked obediently in front of Liu Liu, and said to Qian'er, "Is the empress dissatisfied with these people? The servant can adjust."

Jin Jiali, Lou Sijing and other concubines were a little confused about Jiang Cheng's attitude. I heard that Manager Jiang is very powerful. Why is he so obedient to the ugly girl in front of him? Everyone was puzzled. Even Zhang Xiuyi was also a little confused. This Jiang Cheng It can be said that he is vicious and old-fashioned. He was an eunuch who served the emperor since he was a child. Because he has won the trust of the emperor, anyone who offends him will undoubtedly offend the emperor. But he is careful about the ugly woman in front of him. Why?

Liu Liu stared at Jiang Cheng and sized him up. As expected, he is the chief eunuch. He has lived in the palace for many years, and his agility is quite high. He glanced at the eunuchs and maids standing in a row, and said coldly: "These People obviously don't want to go to Huaqing Palace with me, and I don't need such a large number of people to wait on them, you can ask them what they want, just pick two of them and go there to clean up."

As soon as Liu Liu's voice fell, Jiang Cheng was stunned, and all the eunuchs and maids were stunned. I didn't expect that the empress would not want many slaves to follow. This is really a strange thing. As the master of the harem, the empress must pay attention to pomp, Even if the emperor doesn't like her, the empress dowager is her aunt, how can she be so poor?

"Empress, please don't do it. Your empress is the mother of a country. How can you only have two people to serve her? I'm afraid that there will be too few people to take care of her." Jiang Cheng hastily lowered his head to stop the empress.

Liu Liu's slender eyebrows trembled a few times, then her face became impatient, and she said coldly: "Director Jiang, are you the master or am I the master?"

When Jiang Cheng, the chief manager, heard what the empress said, he dared not say anything. He hurriedly bowed his head and took a step back, walking up to the whole row of eunuchs and maids: "The empress doesn't need so many people. Who would like to live with the empress?" Go to Huaqing Palace."

As soon as the chief eunuch Jiang Cheng's voice fell, those people all backed away, and their faces brightened. They had no choice but to go to Huaqing Palace because of the chief eunuch's prestige. Now I ask them, of course they don't want to go, Jiang Chengyi Looking at the situation in front of him, the slender eyes were shining fiercely, just about to explode, only to see two little eunuchs walking out of those people quickly.

"Slave Xiao Anzi (Xiao Nianzi) is willing to go to Huaqing Palace to serve the empress."

Jiang Cheng's expression finally softened. Seeing that no one else came out, he was about to call a few more servants when he heard Liu Liu who was next to him speak coldly.

"Okay, let these two little eunuchs follow, the others don't need it."

Look at the expressions of these servants, as if going to Huaqing Palace to serve her will kill them, anyway, she doesn't need so many people, and she will definitely go out of the palace often in the future, these people will definitely get in the way if they don't rely on their hearts, So it's better not to.

When Jiang Cheng heard the empress's words, he was a little unhappy, because there were too few eunuchs, only two eunuchs were willing to follow the empress, what a bunch of stupid slaves, no wonder they can only be a small slave forever?But now that the Empress has spoken, let her do it, and wave her hands immediately: "Little Anzi, Xiao Nianzi, you two will lead the Empress to Huaqing Palace, and I will wait for you. If you need anything, the Sa family will send someone later." Sent it over."

"Yes, Director Jiang." Xiao'anzi and Xiaonianzi walked quickly to Liuliu's side, raised their heads to look at the empress, the empress is so pitiful, and it's not her fault that she is ugly. Bullying, now even the servant despises her, so he said respectfully: "The servant has seen the empress."

"Okay, get up, and take me to Huaqing Palace," Liu Liu couldn't help but look amused at the expressions of the two little eunuchs, but felt that these two guys were good enough to stay by her side.

"Yes, empress," Xiao'anzi and Xiaonianzi led Liuliu out of Zhuxiu Palace one after the other. Cui'er and Qiao'er followed the young lady in front, their little faces were about to cry, it turned out that the young lady really Being bullied, even these slaves bully the master, even the queen is of no use.

Jiang Cheng looked at Liu Liu who was going out, darkness flashed in his eyes, he turned around and glanced at the servants around him, with a sneer on his lips, you people who don't know how to praise, actually embarrass the empress empress so much, let's see how the Sajia will punish you in the future , those eunuchs and maids were immediately scared. They would have gone to Huaqing Palace with the empress if they knew it earlier.

The manpower of the empress was allocated, and then the manpower of the concubines was allocated. Jin Jiali and Lou Sijinggui were the first-grade concubines, the manpower was second to the queen, one chief eunuch, one female officer, six court ladies, six eunuchs, those Those who were named couldn't help but smile, and walked to the masters with a smile on their faces, and respectfully congratulated the masters, the two masters saw this scene, remembered the treatment of the empress before, and saw I can't help but look happy and speak pleasantly.

"Okay, take your masters to the palaces," Jiang Cheng assigned the task, and said with a condensed face, and the concubines all said with smiles on their faces: "I'm here to help you, Mr. Jiang." The chief eunuch left Zhuxiu Palace and went back to his own palace together.

There are only more than 20 maids and eunuchs left in the main hall of Zhuxiu Palace in Nuo Da. These people were carefully selected by Jiang Cheng to serve the empress. Unexpectedly, these things would not know how to praise, Jiang Chengyin smiled Looking at these people, he opened his mouth coldly.

"From now on, all of you will go to the laundry room to work as errands."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the more than 20 people froze and their bodies froze. They couldn't understand why Jiang Cheng, the chief executive, was so kind to the empress. The empress was destined to be discarded. It is the Concubine Shu and the Concubine De who are right. In the future, these two masters will surely ascend to high positions. I did not expect that the chief executive would be respectful to the unfavored empress, but indifferent to the concubine who is about to be favored. Although he knew He was usually weird enough, but this was too outrageous.

Huaqing Palace is close to Lenggong and far away from the other three palaces. Led by two young eunuchs, Liu Liu walked into Huaqing Palace. At a glance, everything in this palace looks old and the walls are mottled. , there are only three hanging beasts left in the palace, and those doors, wooden windows, swaying left and right in the wind, around the palace, there are overgrown weeds and wild flowers everywhere, Liu Liu looked up at all these, I'm afraid this place is not even as good as the cold palace, at least the cold palace is clean and tidy, but here is a place where no one cares about, but why does she feel so kind?Puzzled, he turned around and asked the little eunuch behind him.

"Little Anzi, where did you say this used to be?"

As soon as Liu Liu's words fell, Xiao Anzi scanned around carefully, and reported softly: "I heard that this is the bedroom of the former empress?"

"The queen of the previous dynasty?" Liu Liu was startled, she didn't expect to live here, no wonder the things are so mottled and old, it turned out to be some years, since the new dynasty was built, why didn't the palace be demolished, puzzled Staring at Xiao Anzi: "Since it is the palace of the previous dynasty, why didn't the emperor order people to demolish it?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know about this slave, but the palace is so big, it seems that there are many things from the previous dynasty, and it was built later, and some places were expanded, but nothing has been moved here, maybe it is too far away from the Three Palaces It's near the cold palace, so I threw it here, but I didn't expect the emperor to remember this place and give it to the empress?" Xiao Anzi wanted to cry after finishing speaking.

Liu Liu patted him on the shoulder indifferently: "Okay, Xiao Anzi, go in and clean up with peace of mind."

Xiao Anzi nodded, but his words touched Cui'er and Qiao'er's heartache. When the young lady was in the prime minister's mansion, she was so honorable, but now she is being bullied like this. Even if it is the emperor, what's the matter? They still go back to look for it. The master decides for the young lady?The two little girls cried sadly. When Xiao Anzi and Xiao Nianzi saw the two little girls crying, they also started crying. For a moment, they saw four people crying in front of the palace gate of Huaqing Palace. Liuliu crossed her arms in a fit of anger and amused herself, watching with relish, and waited for them to cry enough before opening her mouth.

"Okay, I'm crying too, let's go in and clean up, take out the unnecessary things and throw them away, save the useful ones, and start cleaning up the weeds outside tomorrow," Liu Liu ordered, He walked into the palace first, and the two eunuchs and the two little girls quickly wiped away their tears, and then walked into Huaqing Palace.

Following their disappearance, on a tall tree, a figure as graceful as a fairy left in a flash. His face was full of anger, so that the subordinates who followed him did not dare to show their breath.

That shadow is the current emperor, Feng Xie, who is sitting on the dragon couch in the upper study room, on a piece of beautiful facial features, with cold eyes, high phoenix eyebrows, and thin lips hooked evilly, it is obviously a cold and incomparable expression The expression on her face was damn good, the Nine Dragons Golden Crown on her head had already been taken off, Wusi picked it up with a white jade hairpin, and the rest scattered on her chest, she was extremely charming, but she had a face full of anger.
