Luoyang Brocade Chapter 267: Errand (3)

Looking at Bai Yu's tearful eyes, Ling Jingshu also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and comforted her in a low voice: "Bai Yu, don't think too much. Once you have come, let it be. What others can do, I can also do. ."

Bai Yu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and forced a smile: "What the young lady said is that the slave was just thinking wildly."

It’s hard enough for a young lady to have to do things on errands, and she must not let her worry and distract her anymore.

Ling Jingshu, who has been a master and servant for many years, is very familiar with Bai Yu's temperament. Seeing her forcing a smile on her face, her heart becomes more and more sour. But he pretended to smile briskly and said: "By the way, guess what errand I got?"

Bai Yu cheered up: "Are you dressing up and changing clothes?"

Ling Jingshu intended to make Bai Yu happy, and pretended to sigh helplessly: "I usually dress and change clothes for you, how could I do such a thing? Fortunately, the Queen did not make things difficult for me, otherwise, I would have struggled You have to refuse the punishment. You can’t let your empress go out to meet people with her crooked bun!"

As expected, Bai Yu burst into laughter.

Qiaoyun just walked in carrying a food box.

Ling Jingshu greeted Qiaoyun with a smile: "You come and sit down, I have something important to announce."

When we arrived at the palace, the three masters and servants seemed to be dependent on each other. The distance between Qiaoyun and Ling Jingshu also quickly became much closer. Hearing this, he was not shy, he responded neatly and sat down.

Ling Jingshu explained what had just happened in detail: "... Starting from tomorrow, I will take the job."

Serving flowers and plants is a relaxing and leisurely job.

Bai Yu was very happy to hear this: "This job is suitable for young lady. When we were in Dingzhou, young lady liked to work with flowers and plants, especially planting peonies."

"Bai Yu, working on an errand is different from growing flowers at home." Qiao Yun reminded calmly: "It doesn't matter if the flowers and plants grow better or worse at home. It doesn't matter if the flowers and plants wither and are thrown away. This Jiao Fang Palace Every plant and tree here is planted according to the Queen’s wishes, so nothing can go wrong.”

Ling Jingshu nodded: "Qiaoyun is right, I will be careful when I am on duty."

Queen Xu was eagerly waiting for her to make a mistake, and she must not be careless.

Qiao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Jingshu's cautious and solemn response.

As a master, Ling Jingshu can listen to the advice of the maids around her and always keep the people around her in her heart. It is really rare!

……

The next morning.

Ling Jingshu was wearing a green palace dress, with a simple and refreshing hairstyle, and no makeup on her face. I took a selfie in the mirror and was quite satisfied with my plain and clean self in the mirror.

Dressed up to the nines, she is deliberately trying to block Queen Xu’s eyes, and she is also seeking to make herself unhappy. None of the female officials in this Jiaofang Palace are fuel-efficient lamps.

Even Bai Yu said in a low voice: "Young lady is new here, so it's better to be low-key in your words and deeds."

Ling Jingshu smiled and hummed: "You two will have to stay in the house for a few days. Once you understand the situation in Jiaofang Palace, it won't be too late to go out for a walk."

Empress Xu allowed her to bring her personal maid into the palace, which was already a special gift. As soon as she entered the palace, she ran around with her maids, which was too conspicuous.

Bai Yu and Qiao Yun nodded in agreement.

Ling Jingshu went to Luoyan's house.

After knocking on the door, Luo Yan waited for a while before opening the door and said in a lukewarm tone: "You're here early." Humph, you're rushing to pick up the messenger!

Ling Jingshu pretended not to have heard her carrying a gun and a stick, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Luoyan."

Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand!

No matter how dissatisfied Luo Yan was, he did not dare to openly make things difficult, so he responded with a smile. Reluctantly, he led Ling Jingshu to the place where he was on duty.

Queen Xu stayed in the main hall every morning, waiting for the concubines to come to pay their respects. After the concubines left, the chief **** and the female officials in the Jiaofang Palace went to report the trivial matters of the day one by one.

There are many maids in the Jiaofang Palace, and each female official leads many people. The place where the female officials gather their people to distribute errands is in a house not far from their residence.

……

A dozen maids were divided into two rows, standing neatly, listening to Luo Yan's lecture.

The palace maids stared intently, peeking uncomfortably at Ling Jingshu, who was standing by and smiling silently.

The palace is the place where messages are conveyed fastest. Ling Jingshu entered Jiaofang Hall yesterday, and within half a day the news spread throughout Jiaofang Hall.

Now that Ling Jingshu has followed Luo Yan, she obviously wants to take over Luo Yan’s job...

"This is the new Lady Official Ling. From today on, all the flowers and potted plants in Jiaofang Hall will be under the control of Lady Official Ling."

With that said, Luo Yan ordered a few more maids to come out. Then he said to Ling Jingshu: "They usually take care of the flowers and plants. Since you have accepted this job, they should also be under your control. Ask them about the things you have to do every day!"

There are eighteen palace ladies in total. Luo Yan only selected six maids and took away the remaining twelve.

The six maids saluted together: "I have seen Lady Ling."

Ms. Ling! This title is really new.

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly and said in a very gentle tone: "We will meet every day from now on, so there is no need to be so polite." Then she asked the maids' names and ages one by one.

The oldest of these palace maids is about twenty-four or five years old, and the youngest is sixteen or seventeen years old. Most of them have average looks, but there is only one who looks pretty and has the smoothest tongue, called Hongmei.

Ling Jingshu had a smile on her face, spoke softly, and looked like she had a good temper.

Hongmei is quick-thinking and courageous. After saying a few words, she changed the subject: "Miss Ling, there is something you don't know yet! In fact, there were nine people who were originally responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants.~ IndoMTL.com~ But Lady Officer Luoyan only picked out six of us, and the remaining three are the best at planting flowers. Now that there are three less people, I am afraid that we will be too busy to do things. Lady Officer Ling really should go and talk to Lady Officer Luoyan Say it, otherwise you will suffer the loss in vain..."

Ling Jingshu's smile faded and she looked at Hongmei, with a bit of chill in her eyes.

Hongmei's heart skipped a beat, and her voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Your name is Hongmei?" Ling Jingshu asked with raised eyebrows.

Hongmei forced a smile: "Yes, I..."

"How old are you? How many years have you been in the palace?"

"I am eighteen years old and have been in the palace for four years."

Ling Jingshu looked indifferent, but her tone became colder and colder: "You have been in the palace for four years, where have you learned the rules of the palace? Have you learned to use words to incite and stir up trouble? You said this deliberately, just to see me and Sister Luoyan, are you making a fuss over some trivial matter?"

After hearing the series of accusations, Hongmei broke out in cold sweat and knelt down with a plop. (To be continued.)
