Only then did Shen Chuliu look at these people.
"I have taken the time to bring you all together. Do you know that? Are you willing to serve me?" Without outsiders, there is no need to hide anything.
Several people looked at each other and quickly knelt down: "I am willing to serve Empress Xiuyuan."
Outsiders don't know, but they were first contacted by people from Cuiyunxuan, then transferred by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and finally assigned. Naturally, I know it all in my heart. Now that the queen is in the prime of her life, no one is willing to serve her.
Besides, since it was Zi Zhu and the others who were looking for them, these people always have their own interests.
"Since this is the case, I am relieved." Shen Chuliu pointed to the tallest girl: "You will be called Xiuchun from now on."
"Thank you for giving me the gift of spring."
"Well, your name is Broken Red, and your name is Xinlu." Shen Chuliu pointed to the next two.
The two of them also thanked Shen Chuliu in a hurry.
The three eunuchs were waiting to be named. Shen Chuliu said: "Yuanxiao is the chief eunuch of my Cuiyunxuan. Since he is called Yuanxiao, then you can call him Yuleo, Silver Pot, and Golden Lock."
The three eunuchs quickly thanked their master.
Shen Chuliu asked Zi Rui to bring some silver and reward them one by one: "I don't have many rules, but I just want someone to be loyal. Everything else is not a big deal. If one day you meet a family member who is embarrassed, I will force you to If you want to harm me, just come to me. But if you betray me, there is no need to give a reason, I can only kill you."
When Shen Chuliu said this, the people below really didn't dare to believe it.
Beloved, she really skyrocketed, but her reputation also really fell.
Let me ask, she dares to whip a pregnant concubine. If the slave betrays her master...
Then there is no need to think about it, just commit suicide before the master notices. A whole body was left.
The new arrivals are settling in. They have been serving in the palace for many years, so naturally they have something to bring.
The row of houses behind Cuiyunxuan is enough for living.
These newcomers packed themselves up and quickly went to work.
Shen Chuliu said there was nothing to worry about, so the palace maid just followed the old man's lead and asked the eunuch what Yuanxiao should do.
In the Queen's Palace, Emei personally carried the second princess back to sleep.
Then he came back and told the queen these things.
"My servant has inquired about it. Jing Xiuyuan has chosen the person herself early in the morning and will go through two formalities with the emperor."
"She is quite shrewd." Peiyue hummed.
"Isn't it necessary to be smart? She didn't choose the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in time. Who knows who stepped in? The people she chooses now are people who are on the job and are bound to be clean." Peilan said.
"But this matter shouldn't come to our empress?" Peiyue was dissatisfied.
The queen then spoke: "She can ask the emperor to do things because she has the ability. Isn't it normal for her to be on guard against me in this kind of matter?"
"Humph, just to be careful, you didn't do anything to her." Peiyue huffed angrily.
"I didn't do it, but she will be worried. It doesn't matter, I don't care about this, and you don't have to worry about it. She persuaded the emperor, and this matter has nothing to do with me. It doesn't hurt my face. Many people won't know that there is such a thing. It's the same thing." The queen doesn't care.
"Yes, what the Empress cares about now is the envoys from the country." Emei sighed: "It is not enough to have a marriage with the empress of the country. She also wants to marry a daughter of Dayi's clan."
It is said that a princess is the best, but now there is no one of the right age.
Needless to say, the emperor's daughter is still young.
The emperor's sisters have all been married a long time ago, but there are only three of them in total.
"On our side, there are suitable ones from Prince Shun's Palace, Prince Yi's Palace, and Prince Ming's Palace." Emei said. "Well, we'll see what the emperor wants at that time." The queen was not too concerned.
"Yes. However, a letter from the Kingdom of Chao said that a lot of things have been prepared for the little princess." Emei said again.
"It doesn't matter, but among you, who wants to go back? I don't need to say that I can only live in the Dayi Dynasty for the rest of my life. You... all have parents." The queen sighed.
Several people looked at each other, and the youngest Peiyue said: "I entered the palace at a very young age. Because I served you, the princess, I earned a lot of money, which I gave to my family every year. I followed you to Dayi Dynasty, and my family got a lot of money. It's enough. I live with my unscrupulous father and brothers. Sometimes I think of the imperial palace in the Chao Kingdom, but it is no different from the one in the Da Yi Dynasty. I don’t want to go back. I will follow you for the rest of my life.”
"The same goes for slaves. The slaves were sold at the age of four and moved into the palace. Later, they had to recognize the slaves when they recognized their relatives. The slaves will not go back." Peilan said.
Emei smiled and said: "I have brothers at home, my parents are in good health, and there is no shortage of money. Instead of going back to get married, I would rather serve you. I will not go back."
In fact, they are all used to life in the palace. Even when they are in court, they are still trapped in the palace.
Nothing is different.
The queen looked at them and smiled knowingly.
Of course she couldn't bear it. She was very tolerant of the people she brought from the DPRK.
Everyone was waiting to welcome the envoys from the DPRK.
On the seventh day of June, the envoy entered the capital accompanied by the Marquis of Jing'an.
He went to the palace to pay his respects as soon as possible.
Those who came to the court were the crown prince Shangguan Bo, the third prince Shangguan Hang, and several civil servants. A general.
Jing'an Marquis Shen Changjing has not returned to the imperial city for four years.
He is also covered in dust.
In Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu was waiting, and the queen was also there. It was the queen who suggested: "Why don't you ask Jing Xiuyuan to come and have a look? She hasn't seen her grandfather for many years, right?"
Qi Yixiu nodded: "What the Queen said is very reasonable, go and invite her."
So not long after, Shen Chuliu also appeared here.
Soon, the prince of Chao Kingdom took the lead in entering Taiji Palace.
He is the prince of another country, so naturally he does not need to kneel down.
Just salute normally with the third prince.
But Shen Changjing, who was wearing armor, wanted to kneel down: "My lord, Shen Changjing bows to my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Qi Yixiu stood up and went down to help him up: "Jing'an Hou is so polite! I miss you coming back to Beijing, but when you come back, there is no one in Northern Xinjiang. I really miss you."
Shen Changjing was about to burst into tears: "Thank you so much for your concern, Your Majesty. I will defend the Northern Territory for Dayi and will never regret it!"
"Okay, okay, sit down quickly! Prince, sit down." Qi Yixiu sat back.
Prince Shangguan Bo said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the imperial sister's style is even better than before."
The Queen smiled: "The same goes for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Third Brother. Now that Dayi is here, don't be restrained. Dayi is on good terms with the state of Chao, so it is the same here as if he were in the state of Chao."
Qi Yixiu smiled: "The queen is absolutely right. I heard that the people of the DPRK love fine wine. I have already made preparations. I will not return until I am drunk."
The prince and the third prince hurriedly stood up and thanked him.
"Shen Aiqing, you haven't seen Jing Xiuyuan for many years. Now that you have seen her, please go to the side hall to talk." Qi Yixiu said.
