Chapter 209
Chapter 209
It was once the residence of the late emperor's Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu.
Being able to live here, I think the emperor must have some special care for me.
There was a hint of a smile on Concubine Zhao's lips that could not be completely hidden.
"Thank you for your hard work, Bai Yin, here's your reward."
Upon hearing this, the maid beside him immediately handed over a bulging purse and said, "Eunuch, my mistress would like to invite you to have some tea."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. The servants from Yikun Palace are already waiting inside. I will not delay your time any longer. I will take my leave."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
After the young eunuch left, Concubine Zhao held Bai Yin's hand again and said, "Let's go. We will live here from now on."
The master and servant stepped over the threshold and looked up again, only to see several people standing outside the east side hall door.
The eunuch who led the way had already told us that Concubine Zhao lived in the east wing hall.
He turned lightly and headed towards the east side hall.
But his eyes couldn't help but fall on the main hall.
Who doesn’t want to live in a more spacious place?
While thinking this, he had already arrived at the door of the east wing hall.
The waiting people all knelt down and said, "This servant/slave pays respects to the noble lady Zhao. May the noble lady be blessed."
Thinking about the rules taught by the teaching nanny, Zhao Guiren raised her hand and said, "No need to be polite, everyone stand up."
"Thank you, young master."
It was not convenient to talk outside the door, so Concubine Zhao glanced at Bai Yin.
The other party understood and said, "It's windy outside, everyone please go into the hall and answer."
After saying this, he supported Concubine Zhao and walked towards the palace.
After a moment, everyone knelt in front of Concubine Zhao again.
After glancing at everyone, Concubine Zhao's gaze fell on a woman on the left who looked a little older.
But that was gone in a flash.
A noble lady should have four palace maids and four eunuchs.
In addition to Bai Yin and Bai Yun, whom he brought into the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should arrange two more people.
But there were three palace maids kneeling in front of him.
Concubine Zhao knew that this person must be the head nanny of Yiku Palace.
Logically speaking, the maid in charge of a palace is someone who is close to the mistress.
Of course, there is no need to serve a noble person like yourself.
Today, I think I just want to make myself familiar to you.
"Auntie, what's your name?"
The middle-aged woman bent her body slightly and said, "My lady, you are too polite. I am unworthy of it. I am Jinglan, the head maid of Yikun Palace. My lady, please just call me by my humble name."
"I see. I was saying that my aunt is different from others and has an outstanding temperament."
"My lady, you are too polite. I do not deserve such praise from you."
Jinglan did not show any arrogance because of her status, which made Concubine Zhao satisfied.
"Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. From now on, I will have to take care of the affairs of Yikun Palace."
"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, my lady."
After concluding with Jinglan, Concubine Zhao's expression changed and she added, "I don't know yet, what are your names?"
Upon hearing the voice, the remaining few people immediately reported their names one by one.
Concubine Zhao's face turned serious. "Serving the master is fine, but loyalty is the most important thing. From now on, you will serve in the Yikun Palace, and you will be sad when doing things, but the most important thing is not to become the eyes and mouths of others."
"If you do a good job, I will naturally reward you handsomely. But if anyone dares to betray me, I'm afraid that Yikun Palace will not be able to keep you even a little bit. Do you understand?"
Concubine Zhao spoke in a serious tone, and her expression was dignified without anger.
Everyone who heard this was startled.
A strange look flashed across Jinglan's eyes.
Hearing everyone's respectful response, she did not hesitate.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhao nodded in satisfaction. "You've all worked hard today, and now everyone should just do their job. Bai Yin, here's your reward."
"Thank you, young master."
After another round of thanksgiving, the servants left.
Concubine Zhao's erect posture finally relaxed a little.
"I'm really tired from this journey, Bai Yun, come and give me a massage."
Seeing that Concubine Zhao had regained some of her little girlish appearance, Bai Yin and the others also smiled.
Bai Yun stepped forward and pressed Concubine Zhao's shoulders.
Bai Yin followed with a smile and said, "My lady, the rules in this palace are really strict, but this Yikun Palace is really beautiful. The emperor arranged for you to live here, so he must love you very much."
