Just as she was talking, she heard a voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty, people from the Shangyi Bureau are here."
"Shangyi Bureau? What are they here for?" Yun Shang frowned: "If I remember correctly, in Changting Garden that day, among the harem stewards who were dealt with, there must be Yu Nian from Shangyi Bureau ?”
"Yes." Qian Liu smiled: "Since the empress entered the palace, Yu Nian has been doing it both openly and secretly. The slaves have long felt that the position of managing the Shangyi Bureau should be replaced by someone else. It was only later that because the empress cleared the harem and let the colorless people in the harem see the empress's methods, Yu Nian restrained herself a little and began to be respectful to the empress. But no matter how respectful it is on the surface, in private But it’s not a good one, and it’s fine to deal with it now.”
Yun Chang nodded: "In this way, the manager of the Shangyi Bureau should have changed, right?"
"It has been changed."
"Well, let them come in, so I can see what kind of person this new steward is. After all, the Bureau of Fashion and Clothing is in charge of the clothing, food, housing and transportation that rank first among me and His Majesty, and it is also very important. "
Qian Liu responded, went out to deliver a message, and brought him in.
A total of five people came from the Shangyi Bureau. The woman in first-class palace attire walked in the front, followed by four palace servants, all holding trays with clothes on them.
"Slave Yan Ping pays homage to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."
"Yan Ping?" Yun Chang raised her eyebrows slightly, but she laughed: "You are the new manager of the Shangyi Bureau, right? Raise your head and let me see?"
Yan Ping raised her head, and Yun Chang's eyes paused slightly on her face: "It's rare, I thought that most of the palace stewards are older for many years, look, they should not be more than thirty years old Bar?"
"Yes, this slave is twenty-six this year."
Yun Chang nodded: "Twenty-six, ordinary palace people can choose to be released from the palace at the age of twenty-five. Why didn't you leave the palace?"
Yan Ping smiled, but there was no trace of nervousness on her face: "The slave girl was only six years old when she entered the palace. At the beginning of entering the palace, because she was about the same age as the eighth princess, she was chosen as the eighth princess's personal maid to accompany the eighth princess. The princess was playing. Later, the eighth princess died of illness, and the slaves were assigned to the clothing bureau."
"Although the maidservant is only twenty-six this year, she has been in the palace for twenty years, and because she was still young when she entered the palace, the maidservant has no impression of her original family at all. When she was supposed to be released from the palace last year, the maidservant also once I asked someone to inquire about the situation in the original home, and after some inquiring, I found out that the original family of the slave girl had moved away more than ten years ago, and her whereabouts are unknown."
"Besides, the slaves have not been out of the palace for the past twenty years, and they are completely unfamiliar with the outside of the palace. If they were released from the palace, they might not know how to live, so they simply stayed. After all, in this palace, everyone For slaves, it is the most familiar place."
Yun Shang nodded: "That's right, that's true, after all, you have been in this palace for twenty years."
After Chang Tingyuan's change, Qianliu Qianzhuo was in charge of the replacement of all the stewards in the palace. Qian Liu seemed to be very familiar with this new steward of the Shangyi Bureau: "Guan Yan is in the Shangyi Bureau. It has been more than ten years, and she knows everything in the Shangyi Bureau like the palm of her hand, and the clothes she makes and the patterns she embroiders are also among the best in the entire Shangyi Bureau."
"Really?" Yunshang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "That's great, everyone said that every woman feels that she is always short of a piece of clothing, and I hope that with you, this palace will not exist It's such a pity. Yan, let's take care of things..."
"Your maidservant must do her best." Yan Ping smiled, stood up, and then stepped aside: "This is the style of autumn and winter clothes chosen by the empress some time ago. The clothes are already ready, please take a look at them."
"Well, unfold it and come to this Palace to have a look."
Yan Ping responded, walked to the side of the maid on the far left, took the clothes from the tray, and spread them out.
Yunshang glanced at the clothes, and laughed: "It's really good, although the patterns and styles are all selected by me personally, but the finished product is still amazing, better than what I expected at the beginning Go up a lot. Well done, reward."
Qian Liu took a few red agate beads from her waist and handed them to Yan Ping: "These few agate beads were brought in as tribute from outside the Palace some time ago, you are the manager of the Shangyi Bureau, you will definitely like these things... "
"Thank you for your reward." Yan Ping hurriedly took the things over, and then said: "My lady's dress for the conferring ceremony is almost ready, and the servants can send the dress over tomorrow for my lady to try on first." try."
"It's just that the slaves feel that on the day of the queen's pawn ceremony, apart from the ceremony, there will be a palace banquet at noon and night. Dresses are worn at the ceremony. If the palace banquet still wears dresses, it will be too grand, and the dresses for the ceremony are relatively heavy. It's really tiring to wear it for a day, but the usual phoenix robes and the like don't seem to be grand enough to wear at the palace banquet on the day of the Queen's Sealing Ceremony. So the servant girl thought, I can make two more phoenix robes , to be worn at the noon and evening palace banquets respectively, the servants have already had some ideas, if the empress thinks it is feasible, the servants will start preparing when they go back."
Yun Shang raised the corners of her mouth and laughed: "That's naturally feasible, how can there be any reason to dislike having too many clothes? You can prepare according to your own ideas..."
Yan Ping responded hastily: "The servant girl will leave first."
After finishing speaking, the palace servants brought by Yan Ping handed all the clothes to the palace maids of Jinxiu Palace, and then stepped aside.
Yun Chang nodded, turned her head and glanced at Qian Liu.
Qianliu understood and sent Yan Ping out.
After a while, Qian Liu quickly walked in again: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this Yan Ping?"
"Looking at it now, it's pretty good. She has some real skills and has her own ideas. It's just that she just took over the clothing bureau, so she naturally wants to perform well in front of me. It's good now, but it won't be so in the future. Let's see."
Qian Liu nodded: "The maid asked someone to put away these clothes. By the way, it's almost time for lunch. What would you like to eat today?"
Yun Chang responded casually: "Prepare some as you like, I don't really want to eat anything in particular. By the way, ask the small kitchen to cook a cup of nourishing soup, and I will take it to the Tai Chi Hall along with lunch."
"Your Majesty has been really busy these days. I heard from the Tai Chi Hall that Your Majesty has been so busy these days that you don't even have time to eat well. This is not good. It is not good to drag your body down. I will go to Tai Chi Accompanying His Majesty to have lunch at the palace, His Majesty will never refuse no matter how busy you are."
"yes… "
