Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 23 Surveillance
The rest were either watching the Queen and Aunt Gao waiting for orders, or their eyes were wandering, unable to make up their minds for a moment.

Yiman nodded at the two of them, "What are your names?"

The maid holding the dish put the things on her chest, lowered her head and answered respectfully.

"The servant is called Han Zhi."

The little palace maid who packed pastries came out to answer the question.

"Slaves are pine cones."

Aunt Gao nodded appreciatively, "Princess, please choose a few more."

Those who are capable are not too expensive, and the rest are not in a hurry.

Yiman shook his head lightly, "These two are the ones who will serve you personally first, and the rest will be arranged by the nanny. Those who are not selected will be rewarded with one month's salary each."

Although the rest of the maids heard that they would receive a month's salary for nothing, but when they heard that the chosen one could serve the princess personally, they immediately regretted beyond measure.

It turned out that there had long been rumors in the Qingning Palace that the eldest princess had returned to the palace, but the emperor did not immediately ennoble her, so no one was sure about the future, and they were all waiting and watching.But when I saw the Queen's eyes full of love and compassion, I knew that the eldest princess would definitely have a status in the future.

Those who serve the princess personally are basically female officials. These two people must be of high rank in the future, thinking that it would be great if they were smarter just now.

"Yes."

Seeing that he wanted to ask the little eunuch to meet again, he waved his hands, "Let's just take these two first, and the rest will be arranged by the mother."

The method just now has been used, and nothing can be seen if I use it again.Moreover, I had just entered the palace and didn’t understand anything. Too many people would be troublesome.

After tossing around like this, it was already evening, and Yiman was supported by Han Zhi and Pine Cone to the side hall.

It was a long day. Yiman sat in front of the dressing mirror and rubbed his temples.

"Princess, do you want to change your palace clothes?"

Seeing that Yiman was tired, Hanzhi stood aside and asked.

When Song Guo heard this, he quickly took the tea cup from the palace servant and quickly brought it over.

Yiman smiled faintly, "Why did you react like that just now?"

Song Guo touched the pastry in his bosom, and smiled embarrassedly, "My servant's hometown was hit by a disaster, and I was hungry for a long time. When my parents were dying, they said that food should not be wasted."

Han Zhi glanced at Song Guo, Song Guo thought he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to laugh anymore.

"What about you?"

"Back to the princess, it was originally a slave's job to manage and tidy up the tea saucers. Now that I have received the princess's kindness, I will do my best to serve the princess well."

One can enter the palace with a sincere heart, and the other can pursue his own affairs in his position and have a strong sense of responsibility, which is good.

"Let's change clothes."

"Yes."

The two waited for Yiman to change his clothes, and then tried to direct the palace people to arrange bedtime.

Seeing that the two of them looked back at him every time he gave an order, Yiman rolled up his sleeves and went to the queen's chamber.

The queen should not be asleep now, since the queen is so close during the day, there must be a lot of things left to say.

As soon as he walked outside the door of the hall, he saw the guards on duty changing shifts, and heard a faint voice coming from inside the hall, so Yiman leaned against the door of the outer hall to block his figure, paying attention to the conversation inside.

"Your Majesty, now that the Eldest Princess is back and the eldest grandson of the Emperor is born, you have someone to rely on, so you must not focus on the Emperor as before, ignoring those concubines."

"Oh, mama, you don't know that they are all connected to the court behind their backs, and some of them are favored by the emperor. If one of them is not handled well, wouldn't it cause trouble for the emperor's predecessor? Now that Yiman is back From now on, when her eldest brother inherits the throne, the family can live a peaceful life."

Hearing the deep sigh of the high mother in the hall, Yiman shook her head slightly.

The queen's mind is too simple, the throne is not said to be inherited, how can it be possible to live quietly in the royal family?

A queen is not suitable to be a queen at all. It seems that being able to sit firmly on the phoenix chair for so many years is not only due to the stability of the emperor, but also due to the high mother.

"Nurse, do you think Yiman will hate me after all these years?"

"Don't worry, the empress. I think the eldest princess is exquisite. She understands everything that should be understood. The method of selecting people today is better than when the empress was young. By the way, the old slave heard someone today. Report, the seventh princess is in Yeting."

"Is that good enough?"

"The emperor should also know."

"emperor."

"Your Majesty, you can let the eldest princess get closer to the emperor, so that the emperor can visit Qingning Palace more often. In the past, the emperor liked the princess the most."

"Mommy is saying, use Yiman to compete for favor."

"."

"Princess, you are here, everything is ready."

As soon as Yiman raised his finger to his lips, Song Guo finished speaking. Hearing that there was no movement in the hall, Yiman walked into the hall to salute.

After seeing the ceremony, the queen dragged Yiman to sit beside the bed, and the two talked in the middle of the night.

------------

Yiman learned a lot of things about the palace from Han Zhi and Song Guokou, and rested in Qingning Palace for two days.

Putting down the rare books that Song Guo brought from Jixian Hall, Yiman suddenly remembered the queen's pulse case, seeing that the queen had to take medicine sooner or later these days.

When Hanzhi saw Yiman put down his book, he frowned slightly and took a step forward, waiting for instructions.

"Is there a Gardenia Garden near Qingning Palace?"

"Exactly, it's blooming right now, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers as soon as you leave the palace. Is the princess going to enjoy the flowers?"

"Go pick some and bring them back to make some soothing things for your mother."

"Yes, slaves will prepare now."

As soon as Yiman, Hanzhi and others walked into the courtyard, they saw a palace man coming forward to salute.

"Is the eldest princess going to pick flowers?"

Yiman glanced at the flower basket held by the palace man at the back, and looked thoughtfully at the little eunuch who suddenly appeared.

"Is your mother looking for me?"

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting Yiman to ask himself back.

Looking up, the eldest princess looked at herself, her eyes were like the cold wind engulfing the heavy snow, her body couldn't help shaking, and she quickly lowered her head.

"No."

"Then why did you stop me?"

Han Zhi frowned, looked at Song Guo and saw something was wrong.He winked at the little eunuch behind him, and the clever little eunuch quickly surrounded him.

The little eunuch felt regretful in his heart, so he took over Eunuch Fu's job and asked the eldest princess not to leave Qingning Palace. When she left the palace, she reported that someone had already run away with fast legs and feet.Although I knew it was the emperor's will, I didn't say it clearly after all. If there was a stalemate, I might be the only one who would suffer.Now it seems that this eldest princess is not easy to get along with. It is really a fight between gods and mortals.

Seeing the little eunuch lowered his head and trembling with fear, Yiman had no intention of embarrassing him, he just wanted to find out what the purpose of the person behind him was.

Yiman turned his face sideways and whispered in Hanzhi's ear: "You personally take a few trustworthy young eunuchs and escort him to the side hall. Close the door of the hall. No one is allowed to open the door except me, and no one is allowed to follow. He communicates.”

Hanzhi understood, ordered two people, and stepped forward to suppress the little eunuch.Just as the little eunuch was about to shout, his mouth was gagged by the handkerchief in Hanzhi's hand.Because several young eunuchs were surrounding him, no one cleaning the courtyard could see clearly what was going on here.

Yiman took Song Guo and waited for a few maids to walk outside, and entered the Gardenia Garden without hindrance.

The rich floral fragrance made Yiman rub his nose, but he couldn't help touching a delicate white flower with the tip of his nose.

The two concubines who were playing outside the Gardenia Garden saw a young girl with half-closed eyes, with a soft and relaxed expression, dressed in light-colored palace clothes as if adding color to the Gardenia Garden, like a fairy among flowers staying.

Guo Jieyu gritted her teeth and glared at the figure in the distance. A few days ago, she looked disgraced. But in just two days, this little bitch has changed drastically.Could this little bitch who looked like the queen really be sent to the palace by the Fu family to help the queen win over the emperor?

"Empress, who is that girl?"

Guo Jieyu glanced at Du Baolin who was looking at the Gardenia Garden curiously, smiled, and pretended to be puzzled, "I don't know, it seems like the queen's natal family. I was in the queen's palace that day. Seeing her still chasing me away."

It was as if he said something casually, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the flowers beside him and started to sniff lightly, and the picture of the gardenia garden just now appeared in his mind.Disgust flashed in his eyes, and with a gentle smile on his face, he unscrewed the flower and played with it in his hand.
