Although Hui Ming is a newcomer who has just come to Gande Hall, she has met both of her immediate bosses, the female official in charge of the imperial palace, but because Mother Xu is old, she acts like a pensioner all day long. His style rarely shows up, and he never intervenes in the affairs of the Qiande Palace, leaving Aunt Wei to do it alone. In addition, Aunt Wei's status of "noble person" was personally promised by His Majesty, so Hui Ming was like everyone else, thinking that Aunt Xu was not as good as Aunt Wei, so she deliberately avoided her.
However, it was not until the first day when she took office with Mama Xu that Hui Ming and all the female ministers in the imperial court recognized it - this was absolutely not the case.
I didn't mention it, but when His Majesty saw Mammy Xu early on, he was surprised and said, "Why did you ask you to do these errands?"
Madam Xu respectfully blessed her body, but she didn't start to serve her, she just stood aside and replied, "Your Majesty is recovering from a serious illness, and this servant is not at ease. I'm thinking of coming back to serve you for a few days, and take a good look."
His Majesty shook his head and said slowly: "You are also of age, so be careful about yourself."
His Majesty's expression was serious, but the casual and familiar attitude seemed to be facing an old friend who had known each other for many years, which made people startled.
But Mother Xu didn't stop, looking at the clothes presented by the maids in the robe, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, why is he still so plain? Or should I change to some festive colors, even myself? Be more spirited."
"Alright." His Majesty didn't care about the almost preaching admonition, and just responded to it. The bitter mouth Yu Gan on the side heard the words, but did not retreat immediately, but cast his eyes on Aunt Wei on the ground indistinctly.
His Majesty's daily clothes and accessories were decided by Aunt Wei herself, but now Aunt Xu changed it with a single word, and it was naturally Aunt Wei's face.
Wei Shi just continued to change the cotton boots for His Majesty, then raised his head and said softly, "Then how about putting on the Zhu Jinpao made for His Majesty? It's comfortable to wear."
It's a pity that after saying these few words, His Majesty was also tired. Hearing the words, he just nodded his head as if he didn't, and the magnitude of the nod was so unsure whether he was really nodding his head.
If you put it before, this attitude is nothing, but with the casual familiarity of Xu Mammy just now, in comparison, it is actually abruptly reliant on Wei's previous connivance and reliance, and it seems to be as careless as it is to treat things.
Aunt Wei's face turned pale, but she still managed to maintain her usual gentleness and suppleness. Sister Yu Gan didn't dare to wait any longer when she saw this, so she quickly stepped back, and swiftly put the dragon robe that Mrs. Wei had lifted on again. , Aunt Wei will serve and change clothes in person.
His Majesty has been used to Aunt Wei's service over the years, and the work of serving in person has never been handed to others. This kind of situation has always been envied and respected by all the maids in front of the imperial palace. He stood and watched, but inexplicably had the attitude of a housekeeper inspecting the maid, but his identity was a bit higher than Aunt Wei.
After His Majesty changed his clothes, Mother Xu didn't stay any longer, she took Hui Ming and turned to leave.
But after this incident, everyone saw it, and naturally understood that Xu Ma's status and qualifications were higher than that of Aunt Wei. In the past, although Huiming also had the reputation of Eunuch Su on his head, in the end, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. After all, the Shangguan of the female ministers was an Aunt Wei.
At this moment, Mammy Xu suddenly appeared like this, and it became a dispute between the two countries. Before the situation was unclear, when everyone faced Hui Ming, who was a close friend of Xu Mammy, they were naturally very polite, and they would not be prompted by Aunt Wei And easily ostracized.
In addition to being grateful and admiring, Hui Ming couldn't help but wonder in his spare time, "How long have you been with Your Majesty?"
Mother Xu, who was holding the teacup, squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "I was sent to serve by your Majesty's side from the palace of the first empress dowager, and then I left the palace to get married, but became a widow, and was bullied by the people outside, so I simply asked for grace. Back in the palace, and adding it together, it has been more than 40 years."
Hui Ming was stunned by the number and secretly stunned. His Majesty was only in his fifties and forty years old. Wasn't it true that since he was sensible, Mother Xu has been waiting by her side? It is also sad to leave the palace and come back. Your Majesty still remembers that after returning to the palace, she still served as the female official in charge of the imperial court. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a servant and sister. as close.
After she finished speaking, she just sat quietly on the side, watching Huiming wash the string of fingers and beads that His Majesty replaced, the hair crown and jade pendant one by one, and put them back into the gilt box one by one according to their position. There was no mistake, so he couldn't help nodding his head: "Although you are a newcomer, the errand is not bad."
Thinking of his previous life, he was full of worries about Eunuch Su's "scheming," and most of his errands depended on Qiu Ya to finish and support him. Hui Ming couldn't help blushing a little at the praise of Xu Ma, and couldn't help shaking his head and saying a few words of humility.
Mammy Xu saw that she was sincere and humble, but she was more satisfied: "Don't be arrogant or impetuous, even if you put your temperament in the past, you are barely worthy of Su Jin."
Eunuch Su, whose full name is Su Jin, heard Mammy Xu's name for Eunuch Su, and thinking of yesterday's doubts, Hui Ming couldn't help but ask: "How can Mammy Xu be so acquainted with Eunuch Su? ? I heard, he seems to be…”
"Original from an official slave." Xu mama coldly uttered the four words that Huiming was still hesitating in his mouth. Seeing Huiming's acquiescence, after being silent for a while, she also looked at the dead branches outside the window and opened her mouth again: "Not bad. , From an official slave background, as an official slave, it was an official body in the past, but the Su family was not an ordinary official body, but the government of the government in Beijing. The one who brought him into the palace to kowtow to Her Majesty the Empress, I was waiting by the side at the time, and I’ve seen it a few times.”
Hui Ming widened her glasses in shock. She had been in the palace for so long, she never knew that Eunuch Su still had such a history: "Then what..."
Speaking of this, Mother Xu's voice also sank: "When Eunuch Su was nine years old, Eunuch Zhenguo's mansion was convicted, and the whole family was beheaded. For those under ten years old, women entered the teaching workshop and men entered the inner palace. I happened to be outside the palace for a while, and only after I returned to the palace did I find out that among the boys in the Su family who entered the palace, only Eunuch Su survived in the end, and he was the only one who made it to this day."
Such a short remark only made Hui Ming's heart full of stones, heavy but unable to reach the bottom.
She originally thought that this was an extraordinary position, but Eunuch Su was still young, but he was able to climb to the top of the sixth-rank internal officials, and won the trust of His Majesty. This is already very extraordinary, more than The palace people in the palace are stronger than I do not know how much, and they should be proud to be respected and envied by the people of the palace.
But who knows, Eunuch Su, he should have been the eldest grandson of the imperial government. At this age, he may have been in the civil and military, serving as an official, or marrying a wife and having children. His life and future, His Majesty's trust in him, should not have been a royal general manager or an eunuch, but should be a real court handsome, the pillar of the country.
Eunuch Su's clear and solemn spirit, the spirit of a court man, is not surprising, but he should have it since he was born, since he was a child, but... He later entered the interior. Palace, he fell into the most degrading dust from the grandson of the country's father in the splendid pile, and asked people to press the ground to break his spine, and after climbing up an inch, he never took off the foundation. This is what makes him forever. Different from others in the palace.
How many crimes and beatings must a palace maid who has just entered the palace suffer before she can grow into a well-behaved servant in the eyes of her master? Hui Ming, who is also a palace maid, knows this all too well. She is also a good citizen who has been selected seriously. What about Eunuch Su? Entering the palace as an official slave is naturally the most degrading among the palace people, not to mention what kind of situation you will encounter.
In this way, Eunuch Su told Yuanbao in her previous life that the few encounters she had with Eunuch Su when she first entered the palace was before Eunuch Su arrived at the imperial front? But how is it? Why is she so unimpressed
"How... then you're convicted?" Hui Ming's voice was a little rough.
"It's the past, who's going to talk about it again..." Mother Xu lowered her eyes slightly, obviously not intending to go into details: "I see that you are very good, but you don't have anything to teach me. I think from now on, Mrs Wei will not Dare to trouble you again, if there is something, just come and find me."
When Huiming heard the words, Fushen sent Aunt Xu away, but she just recalled what she had just said, but she couldn't live in peace for a long time.
He was restless for a long time, but he couldn't let it go for a long time. Hui Ming stood on the spot and gritted his teeth. After all, he turned around and walked out the door, and went straight to the main hall where Eunuch Su was at the moment.
