The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 56

In the blink of an eye, October.

The first emperor's filial piety period has passed, the new emperor is coming, the harem has changed hands, everything is in an orderly way, and the old and the new alternate, as if this is the most common and natural law in the world.

Seeing that everyone has adapted to the life in the palace, Concubine Jing proposed to add some palace people to the palace of the two concubines.There is no need for her to worry about the queen. Although Xu Jinhe has only been in the palace for more than a month, Xu Jinhe has already trained a group of capable servants, but this is also reasonable. As a queen, she has too many things to take care of every day. Although Song Chen only has one queen Two concubines, but the first emperor still left a few concubines and concubines. The sum of these palaces is enough for her to keep going. How can she manage it without cultivating some good subordinates?
But Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi are different. When they entered the palace, they only brought a few maidservants to serve them. Now that each of them has a large palace, the few maidservants are not enough, so they should add more.Concubine Jing is deeply involved in the way of the harem, and in order to please the individual as much as possible, she left a message for the inner court supervisor, asking the inner court supervisor to select some smart and hardworking ones, and let the two empresses choose by themselves.

Chu Xue asked Qijing Ruyue to pick out a few maids. Although these two girls were quiet, they were calm and good at reading people. The maids they picked were very suitable for Chu Xue.But Chu Xue thought about it, and felt that there was still a lack of a eunuch in charge in the palace. The trustworthy ones who could serve her personally were brought in from the palace, and they were not familiar with the rules and twists of the harem. It must be a good thing to mention some people in his own palace.

Song Chen also thought it was true, so he also talked to the inner court prisoner and asked Chu Xue to pick it himself.

In today's palace, who doesn't know that Concubine Yi of Yufu Palace is the most sacred heart, the chief inspector of the inner court, Zhou Yu, received the decree, and the first thing he did was to personally ask Chu Xue what kind of person he wanted.

Chu Xue just entered the palace without any context, so she didn't have a ready candidate, but she knew that no matter what, the person in charge of her own palace could not help others.After thinking about it, a person appeared in her mind, the person who rescued her from the fire that day.

Since he was able to risk his life to save her, it must not be from Fengyi Palace.

Chu Xue thought for a while, then smiled and said, "When Eunuch Zhou asks this question, I think of someone... I don't know where the father-in-law who rescued me when the Sheng'an Temple was flooded at that time is working now?"

Zhou Yu immediately understood that Concubine Yi had already planned this. He thought about it, smiled and bowed and replied, "That day in the Hall of Sheng'an, the person on duty should be the supervisor of ceremonies. , this servant will go find someone for you."

Chu Xue nodded slightly, Zhou Yu withdrew from the palace gate, and immediately went to the Supervisor of Rituals.

When Zhou Yu arrived at the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Qiu Yan was giving lectures to his young eunuchs.

As the deputy director of the Ceremony Supervisor, he has too many things to worry about. The boss is in poor health and has no longer been in charge of affairs in recent years. Therefore, in the Ceremony Supervisor, everything, big and small, falls on him shoulder.If any of the little eunuchs under his command made a mistake, it would be enough for him to work for half a day, serving people, and serving the most noble family in the whole world, it was really not easy!
Seeing Zhou Yu coming in person, Qiu Yan bowed politely.Although there are twelve supervisors in the palace, each performing their duties, the inner court supervisor is undoubtedly the most powerful, and the head of the inner court supervisor is naturally the highest position among the palace people, just like the butler of a mansion.

Zhou Yu had already inquired on the way when he came, and it was Qiu Yan, the deputy director of the Rites Supervision, who went to rescue Concubine Yi that night.Although Concubine Yi wants someone, but the dignified deputy chief supervisor is already thirty years old, and it is obviously inappropriate to serve her master up close, but since Concubine Yi has already spoken, how to deal with it specifically, Zhou Yu We still have to listen to the opinion of the person involved, Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan was quite surprised when he heard Zhou Yu's intentions at first glance, he cupped his hands and smiled at Zhou Yu, "Mr. You are old and clumsy, how can you serve your master?"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think our family doesn't know? But Master Yi asked you by name, even if you want to refuse, you have to find a suitable reason! We can't let our family go back to the master, saying that you are very busy, Mr. Qiu. Man, don't you have time to serve the master?"

"Yes yes yes!" Qiu Yan nodded with a smile on his face, and after a little thought, he considered: "Do you think this is possible? Here, my little one, there is an apprentice named Fugui, who is very clever. Later, I will go to Xiang Yi in person. The master apologizes, and by the way, take Fugui to show Master Yi a look, if the empress can appreciate it, then let this kid go to work, if not, then find a way out of the humble job."

Zhou Yu moved his eyeballs, glanced at Fugui who was standing quietly by the side, he looked really clever, and thought that since Qiu Yan saved Concubine Yi, she must be valued in Concubine Yi's heart. Eighty-nine times it can be done.

He then nodded, "Just do as you said, how should I reply after meeting Master Yi, don't you need our tutor?"

"Little understand!"

Qiu Yan sent Manager Zhou out of the yard with a smile on his face.Turning around, he put away his smile and told Fugui, "Hurry up and change into your clothes and tidy up, and then go pay your respects to the nobleman in good spirits!"

"Yes." Fugui hurried back to his room.

Qiu Yan closed the door, and tidied it up carefully. Although he had met Chu Xue twice, he only spoke a few words the first time, and the second time was in the midst of a chaotic and critical fire. The third meeting in a while was the official reunion of the two, so he naturally had to take it seriously.

Better straight palace attire, glanced into the bronze mirror, Qiu Yan, or Yue Cheng, sighed, it has been nine years, he has worn his bones and cheeks, and he has already changed his appearance, when the old man reunites, Wenwen Should not recognize him!But it's better not to recognize each other, it's not the time to recognize each other, besides, Wenwen is still pregnant, her emotions are up and down, it's really not good for her.

Without thinking about it, Qiu Yan opened the door, and together with Fu Gui who was waiting outside, went to Yufu Palace.

Zhou Yu had only retreated for an hour, and someone from the supervisor of ceremonies outside asked to see him. Chu Xue secretly sighed at the speediness of the palace people, put down her embroidery work, got up and came to the main hall.

Seeing the person who greeted her, Chu Xue felt a little familiar, especially those eyes, which always made her feel kind.But she has no acquaintances in the palace, especially the supervisor of ceremonies.

While she was wondering, Yan Ling beside her said straight away, "Eh? I think I saw this steward at the palace banquet for the late emperor's birthday last year."

Qiu Yan bowed and said with a smile: "Young lady has a good memory. Last year, I was indeed honored to serve Concubine Yi to change her clothes."

It was only then that Chu Xue remembered that it was the steward who led her to change clothes at the palace banquet last year.

She looked at the two people standing in front of her, and felt that Qiu Yan's figure and voice were more like the person who rescued her that night in Sheng'an Hall, so she couldn't help asking in surprise, "Could it be that Director Qiu was also the one who saved my palace that night?"

Qiu Yan chuckled, "It's a slave. Being able to protect Master Yi well is a blessing that I have cultivated in eight lifetimes."

All those in charge in the palace are always sweet-talking, Chu Xue smiled slightly, and ordered Yan Ling to reward some gold leaves.

Qiu Yan thanked him for taking it, and explained the truth to Chu Xue, "I heard that there is a lack of a steward here, and the lady is blue-eyed. The slave should not refuse, but the supervisor of ceremonies can't find someone to take over for a while. I'm clumsy, I'm afraid I didn't serve you well, and I'm annoying you..."

He gave Fugui a look, and Fugui hurried forward two steps, Qiu Yan continued: "There is such a person under the servant, this kid is called Fugui, he looks clever on weekdays, and he was trained by the slave, if your mother sees It's pleasing to the eye, but try to use him for a while, if it doesn't suit you, wait for the servant to hand over the work under his hands, and then come over immediately."

Since Chu Xue saw Qiu Yan's identity, she knew that it was impossible for him to come over. Looking at Fugui again, she really looked smart. Besides, Qiu Yan had saved her before, so she felt that she could trust him, and the person he recommended should also be No problem, she said with a smile: "I didn't consider it thoroughly, and made it difficult for the manager. The people brought out by the manager are naturally fine. Please worry about it."

Qiu Yan nodded, and when Fugui heard that he was favored, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave is lucky enough to serve the master, thank you for taking care of me! The slave will definitely do his best to be a cow and a horse for the master in the future!"

Chu Xue signaled him to flatten his body, and asked Yan Ling to reward him with a handful of golden leaves.

Seeing that things were going well, Qiu Yan didn't plan to wait any longer, and told Fugui, "It's your ancestors' merit to be able to come to Concubine Yi's side! From now on, you must be careful in serving you. If there is any negligence, master, I will take your skin off first! "

"Yes, yes." Fugui nodded repeatedly.

Concubine Yi is the person who has the most sacred heart, and she is still pregnant with the dragon descendants. Being able to be transferred to Yufu Palace is really because he is rich and honored, so he will naturally cheer up and work hard.

Qiu Yan happily bid farewell to Chu Xue and left Yufu Palace.

Looking at his back, Chu Xue couldn't help being puzzled, she always felt that this person was a little familiar, but his tone and behavior were completely old-fashioned, but she really didn't know people in the palace before!
Since she couldn't think of it, she simply didn't think about it anymore, Chu Xue told Xia Qijing to ask the palace people to come and see Fugui.

Qiu Yan came out of Yufu Palace and walked back to the Supervisor of Rituals, he couldn't help but feel emotional.Wenwen, who was cared and raised by Chu Lin and his wife, has become much calmer than before. After staying in Hengwang Mansion for a year, she has indeed grown a lot. If she thinks of coming to the person who saved her to serve her, she must have already considered it. So thoughtful, so he can feel a little relieved.

But the queen from the Xu family is indeed difficult to deal with. He arranged his confidant, rich and noble, by Wenwen's side, and finally he was able to guard against some open and hidden arrows and protect Wenwen comprehensively.As for the others, there is still a long way to go in the future, and he will slowly help Wenwen to let her get what she should have.

Fugui is worthy of being an apprentice personally trained by the chief inspector of ceremonies. He has a good way of doing things. It has only been half a month since Yufu Palace is in order, and he has arranged all the affairs in an orderly manner. Chu Xue and Song Chen are very satisfied. Rewarded many benefits of wealth.

Wealthy people know how to repay their kindness, and when they get their rewards, they take out more than half of them and go to the supervisor of ceremonies to honor their master Qiu Yan. When he first entered the palace, he was helpless and was often bullied. When the master saw him, he took him with him. , taught him by hand, saved him a lot of detours, and treated him like a second-born parent.

Qiu Yan saw the pile of golden leaves and golden melon seeds in his hand, but he only smiled lightly, and said: "Forget it, master doesn't lack your gold and silver, keep it yourself! Take care of Master Yi for me, if she has anything If you can't handle the embarrassing things, just come and tell me, this lady has a bright future, we'll take care of you, and there will be plenty of benefits in the future!"

Fu Gui felt that the master was very farsighted, so he nodded yes.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fugui to talk back.

After closing the door, Fu Gui said cautiously: "Master, I see that Master Yi seems to want to help Concubine Rong and take the Third Prince back."

"Oh?" Qiu Yan, who had been busy all day, suddenly regained his energy. He thought for a while, nodded and said, "Got it, I'll think of a way to do this, you go back and serve first."

"Yes." Fugui knew that the master was sure of this, and went back to Yufu Palace in peace.
