Chapter 1462 Work Hard to Become Stronger
Qi Xiao really didn't expect that the female officials in the palace were of higher rank than many concubines.
Yun Dai smiled and said: "You have been confused all day long, and you don't even know this. Who said that the concubines in the palace will be of higher rank than others? If the adults in the court knew what you said, they would probably think otherwise. It tastes good.”
Qi Xiao hurriedly waved her hands: "I don't dare to talk nonsense outside. It's only in front of the empress that I speak openly..."
"I see you're scared." Yun Dai said with a smile, "If you are willing, go ahead. But there is one thing. There are also a group of senior palace maids in the Shangyi Bureau, and they all want to get ahead and climb up. You can Don’t let them eat you.”
Qi Xiao said: "Your Majesty, I am a bit stupid, and there are some things that I can't turn around. But since your Majesty asked me to do this, I will do it well."
Yun Dai smiled and said: "If you don't understand something or encounter any difficulties, you can ask Aunt Song Mei for advice."
"Thank you, empress." Qi Xiao knelt down and kowtowed to her three times, as a thank you for her kindness.
Yun Dai waved her hand: "Get up. I think you can't bury this unique skill. Do it well and you will have a good future."
"Yes! I have remembered it all."
Qi Xiao's face turned red with excitement.
After she left, Qing Yi smiled and said, "Empress, no one is using you anymore. Even the talented people are using you."
Yun Dai leaned in the recliner, knocking melon seeds with her hands, and said with a smile: "Except Hong Dou, who of you can match her embroidery skills? I would like to choose from among you. Which of the palace maids in the Shangyi Bureau They are fuel-efficient lamps, and they don’t necessarily care about who they are. How can I let them get the upper hand? Although Qi Xiao is honest, she is serious and tenacious in her work, and she knows the basics. At least she won’t cause any trouble for me. "
"Your Majesty, you are wise." Qing Yi smiled.
So Qi Xiao took office and became the youngest fourth-grade Shangyi ever.
Everyone in the harem was shocked.
Zhuang Yunshu was fine, but Jin Shan felt quite unhappy when she heard about it.
Originally, Qi Xiao was only an eighth-grade lady, but now she is a fourth-grade lady, firmly dominating her.
Although this Shangyi is not at the level of a concubine, the power and wealth in Shangyi's hands are much greater than those of a mere talent.
No matter what, Qi Xiao is steadily climbing up.
And what about her?
It's just that he hasn't been favored by the emperor so far, and he has been reduced from Baolin to a talented person, which is simply embarrassing.
Jin Shan held back a lot of energy in her heart and vowed to work hard, immerse herself in the small kitchen, and practice her cooking skills.
It's a pity that the famous talented woman just has no talent in cooking.
In the good-looking kitchen, all kinds of pungent smells of smoke and various kinds of paste can be heard all day long.
Once, I almost burned down the kitchen.
The maid tried to persuade her to give up this path several times, but Jin Shan didn't listen at all. She didn't believe that she was good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, so how could she fail at cooking.
There is no reason for this.
She doesn't believe in this evil, so she insists on doing it.
After Yun Dai heard about it, she asked the people from the Water Dragon Bureau to prepare buckets, rattan buckets, hemp poles, bamboo ladders and other items, and keep an eye outside every day. If there was a sign of a fire inside, she would go there immediately and put out the signs in the small kitchen. to avoid any damage to people or property.
If the palace is burned down, money will have to be spent to repair it.
Now that she is the head of the harem, she naturally has to plan everything carefully.
By April, the weather had warmed up completely, and it was already a bit hot at noon.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the city is filled with light red and light white.
There was warmth and excitement in the air.
Yun Dai and Yun Wu selected for a long time, and after discussing with Zhao Yuanjing, finally selected the candidate for Princess Yufu's consort, and also selected a good and promising young official for Sister Ying.
Good night.
