Chapter 148 Why is she here?
"The young lady is so kind to us. Whether it's food, clothing, housing, transportation, or daily work, it's much better than in other palaces."
"Every time I go out to do something and tell people about this, they are all very envious."
Shaoyao lay on the table again, holding her cheeks with her hands and smiling foolishly.
Jinxi and Baizhi were embroidering nearby and just smiled when they heard this.
That's true. Being able to work in Yongshou Palace is a job that many people would scramble for.
On the one hand, their master in Yongshou Palace is favored.
The main reason is that Luoyao is very kind to the people below her.
Be friendly and generous.
She herself doesn't have much of a class concept, so when she talks to them on a daily basis, they always feel flattered.
Equality, what a strange word it is.
Not to mention that she was promoted from a palace maid, so she sympathized with them.
In fact, the lower one climbs up from the bottom, the more likely they are to turn against their former colleagues.
For example, the original Yu Ying'er.
Once they gain power, they become arrogant and look down on everyone.
Of course, now she is still working in Yimeyuan and has no chance to get promoted.
The reason why he was so generous was naturally because Luo Yao had a lot of money.
It was a reward from Emperor Yongzheng and the same thing she had saved in the previous world.
Even if there is no family support, there is still no shortage of gold and silver.
Lots of money, little work, good master!
This is the job that all the palace maids and eunuchs want.
"But I can't understand why the emperor would let Shen Changzai learn to assist in managing the six palaces, but not let our young lady learn it!"
"Today I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get something, and I saw those people trying to curry favor with the girl called Caiyue."
Shaoyao spoke to herself, Caiyue was Shen Meizhuang's personal maid.
She disliked Shen Changzai, who had bullied her young mistress before.
Upon hearing this, Jinxi and Baizhi looked at each other.
They both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Jin Xi smiled and said:
"Peony, it's fine if you just talk about this here, but don't talk about it outside."
"Especially in the young master's place."
Bai Zhi added a sentence at the end.
Baizhi and Shaoyao, Baizhi is meticulous and smart, while Shaoyao is younger.
Although he is a good cook, he is careless and doesn't understand some things.
"Then Shen Changzai is in charge of the palace power. Do you think it's a good thing?"
"If it's really good, why doesn't the emperor restore her status as a noble lady?"
Seeing Shaoyao pouting and looking like a silly fool, Baizhi explained.
"Yes, the position of a concubine is still too low. This is a bit..."
Shaoyao bit her fingers, feeling something was wrong.
Li Xiao and other eunuchs sitting at the door did not say a word.
Li Xiao was born with a cold face and didn't like to talk, so the few young eunuchs who followed him didn't dare to speak.
The boss has such a strong aura that they are afraid of saying something wrong and getting punished.
Luo Yao, who was sitting under the tree, was wondering when the matter with Fei Yunyan would come out.
When Xia Qian presented his confession to the emperor, Luo Yao was staying in the inner room.
Of course I heard it.
When she heard it was Fei Yunyan, she knew it must be her who did it.
I think it was Concubine Hua who pushed her out.
This time, cutting off one of her wings can be considered as revenge.
She didn't have to wait too long for the result, as someone came to report it at noon.
Fei Yunyan has been demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace, never to be allowed out again.
But Luo Yao knew that she would definitely not survive.
Hua Fei will be the first one who won’t let her go.
Because she knows too much, the safest way is to silence her!
"I understand. Thank you for the trouble."
"Angelica dahurica."
Luo Yao looked at the little eunuch who was nodding and bowing in front of her.
The other person looked somewhat familiar; he was a servant in the imperial court.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Bai Zhi, who was waiting beside her, stepped forward and handed a purse to the young eunuch.
Xiao Haozi took the purse and was immediately struck by how heavy it was, which made him smile so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
It is said that Concubine Chen of Yongshou Palace is generous, and it is indeed true.
It was worth his efforts to get this mission. The rewards were enough for him to visit other concubines and ladies several times.
Luo Yao waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.
Then he turned to Shaoyao and said:
"I want to eat the lotus seeds in wine for lunch today. Go to the imperial kitchen and get some lotus seeds."
Shaoyao nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, my lady, I'll go right away!"
With that she ran out in a hurry.
This may also be a potential reason why Luo Yao doesn't want to reveal her pregnancy.
You can eat and drink as you like.
But once you say you are pregnant, it’s a different story.
I am afraid that many aspects of life are restricted.
.............................................
afternoon.
After finishing her meal, Luo Yao wanted to go back to her room and take a nap.
Unexpectedly, just as he entered the room, Jinxi came in and reported:
"My lady.....Wan Changzai is here."
Luo Yao was stunned.
"Wan Changzai?"
She didn't expect that it was only her second day in the Old Summer Palace, and why would Zhen Huan come to her place in the middle of the day instead of sleeping.
But since you're here, of course you have to meet him.
"Let her in."
Luo Yao went back outside and walked to the couch and sat down.
After a while, Zhen Huan came in supported by Liu Zhu.
As soon as the two came in, they observed the surrounding environment.
Looking at the magnificent and luxurious decoration here, Liu Zhu felt that everything was beautiful and that Huanbi was not suffering here.
Zhen Huan's knowledge is much higher than Liu Zhu's, and she can better see the preciousness of the various items among them.
The pair of jade colored glaze mandarin duck water mirror bottles placed at the door alone are enough to match most of the furnishings in his Bitong Academy.
It can be seen how much the emperor dotes on her and he arranges the best for her in everything.
Thinking of this, Zhen Huan felt an irrepressible envy welling up in her heart.
And when she actually met Huanbi in person, her feelings became even more complicated.
Looking at her current appearance, she no longer looks like she did when she was in the Zhen Mansion.
Becoming too unattainable makes her feel inferior.
Luo Yao saw that she was standing there motionless, but Liu Zhu next to her had a look on his face as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant, and looked eager to try.
It seemed like he had a lot to say to her.
"Why are you standing there? Come and sit down."
She didn't stand up either, because Zhen Huan's status was lower than hers.
It was good enough that she was not asked to salute.
Luo Yao signaled Bai Zhi to serve tea and move a stool for Liu Zhu as well.
Liu Zhu waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I'll just stand beside you, young master."
Luo Yao didn't force it, but just looked at her and said in surprise:
"Have you gained weight recently? Why does your face look a lot rounder?"
Liu Zhu asked, "Ah?"
I subconsciously raised my hand and touched my face, and indeed felt a circle of fat.
I was speechless for a moment. I didn't expect that this would be the first thing my old friend said when we met.
