Queen's scheming

Chapter 194 Insight ([-])

"This old slave pays respects to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old." Jiang Nanny made a standard squatting salute.

Shen Qingyi sat upright, said with a warm smile, "Jiangma sit down."

Shen Qingyi looked carefully at Mother Jiang. She was wearing a half-new red sandalwood-colored palace gown with narrow sleeves, with wishful cloud patterns on the collar, and a gray-brown horse-face skirt, completely naked. The colors are fresh, and the clothes are not old. That's it. The rigor on her face is unmatched by others. No wonder Madam Su recommended her.

"Is Jiang Nanny doing well in the Clothes Bureau now?" Shen Qingyi was still a little hesitant when she just found out Jiang Nanny's position in the palace. If this Jiang Nanny is really powerful, how could she be in the Clothes Bureau? This is the place with the least oil and water, and it’s not the nanny in charge there. At best, it’s a second-class nanny in the Clothes Bureau. It’s better than those maids who wash clothes every day. They specialize in washing some high-ranking concubines. clothes.

Mother Jiang didn't dare to sit still and answer, she got up and saluted, "Thank you for remembering, Madam, the old slave is doing very well in the clothing bureau."

Shen Qingyi was a little surprised that Nanny Jiang actually used the word 'remember', and asked in confusion: "Have you seen Nanny Jiang before?"

Jiang Nanny smiled slightly, her eyes were as deep as a tunnel that could not be seen, "Your Majesty is busy with personnel affairs, so it is not surprising that I don't remember, this old slave served in Weiyang Palace before."

"Weiyang Palace? Are you the nun in charge of the former empress's palace?" Shen Qingyi asked in surprise.As the Queen of the Central Palace, Shen Qingyi was supposed to live in the Weiyang Palace where the queens of all dynasties lived, but Shen Qingyi thought that the palace was too big and had died, so she didn't want to live there, so the Weiyang Palace originally served The palace man was also sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found another place to work.

"The Queen's Majesty loves her, and it doesn't count if she is in charge of the nanny or something. At the beginning, all the capable people around the Queen were brought into the palace from the mansion. The old slaves in Weiyang Palace were just doing odd jobs." Jiang Nanny said face-to-face There was no joy or anger on the face, and he said calmly.

"Grandma Jiang is being humble. How could someone who was able to see me in the palace be a handyman?" Shen Qing Yiben hesitated because she was from Weiyang Palace, but now she changed her mind and was able to get out from here. The nanny in charge of Weiyang Palace has become the second-class nanny in charge of the Clothes Bureau, and when she sees her again, she can still be so indifferent, without any intention of flattering her. No wonder Su Nanny would recommend such a person.

Shen Qingyi took a sip of the plum juice, and said with a dignified smile: "Since Madam Su left in Ningsu Palace, there has been a lack of a nanny in charge. I wonder if Nanny Jiang is willing to fill this gap?"

Jiang Nanny was a little surprised, firstly, she didn't know how Shen Qingyi picked her, and secondly, she didn't expect Shen Qingyi to ask for her opinion, this meeting, Jiang Nanny knew that Shen Qingyi would not recruit for no reason She came to gossip about family affairs, so she guessed what Shen Qingyi meant.

If there were three of Yulian, Yuhe and Zhang Yang on weekdays, this Ningsu Palace would be able to hold on, one is smart, one is prudent, and the other is quick in handling things, but now that Shen Qingyi is pregnant, these three are inexperienced after all. Someone took advantage of the loopholes accidentally, such as what happened in the Lengsu Palace recently.

Although Mother Jiang is in the clothing bureau, it doesn't mean that she doesn't analyze the situation in the palace in her heart. If Shen Qingyi, who just entered the palace, asked her like this, she would resolutely refuse. By the tender queen's side, she only serves as a target, but Shen Qingyi is different now.

Mother Jiang thought over and over again, but still asked out the doubts in her heart: "I have some doubts, I don't know if I can ask a question or two."

"Naturally, Jiang Nanny just speaks up when she has something to do." Shen Qingyi didn't think that Jiang Nanny didn't know good from bad, wise people chose to stand in line, and always had to analyze and analyze whether it was worth losing their life to protect this master.

Mother Jiang bowed respectfully and said: "The old slave is overstepping. I just heard what the empress said. The empress doesn't know the old slave's original errand, let alone remember the old slave. I don't know how the empress knows. Old slave, you want to transfer this old slave to the Lingsu Palace?"

Shen Qingyi always answered any questions: "Madam Su was sent out of the Palace to be raised by this palace, and Madam Jiang was recommended by Madam Su before she left the palace."

"Isn't the Empress jealous that this old slave used to serve in the Empress's palace?" Mother Jiang must make this point clear, a master who doesn't trust her, even if she comes to the Ningsu Palace, she can't let go of her hands and feet. matter.

Shen Qingyi smiled lightly and said: "I believe in Su Mama's vision, the so-called employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not."

Mother Jiang smiled slightly, and said: "If you say something to your mother, this old servant is willing to do the best for your mother, but this old servant has a condition."

"Grandma Jiang, please speak frankly." Shen Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Nanny Jiang is willing to come to Ningsu Palace, it is fine, whether it is wanting gold, silver and jewelry, or taking care of her for the elderly, Shen Qingyi doesn't think it is a big deal.

Jiang Momo swept Yu Lian and Yu He behind Shen Qingyi, and calmly said: "This old slave leads the palace servants of Ningsu Palace, even the two first-class maids behind the empress must obey the old slave's arrangement, let Xiang You can't go east to west, and you can't ask why."

Shen Qingyi couldn't answer these words, it wasn't that she doted on Yulian and Yuhe, Yuhe was better, it's just that Yulian was a girl who used to be evasive, so it might not be so easy for her to be obedient.

Shen Qingyi turned around to look at the two of them, and said softly: "What do you two say?"

Yu Lian and Yu He looked at each other, smiled at each other, turned around from behind Shen Qingyi, saluted Nanny Jiang gracefully, and said with a smile: "Slave Yu Lian, slave girl Yu He greets Nanny Jiang."

Jiang Nanny was a little surprised, she watched coldly in the clothing bureau, these two girls were very tight, not to mention how long it had been, only said that Jiang Nanny had been able to adapt to the court so quickly and open up contacts in the two dynasties she experienced. The only ones who quickly gained a foothold were the two of them.She has also heard of Yulian and Yuhe's methods, and it is normal if the two of them refuse to accept her.

Mother Jiang was worried about entering the Ningsu Palace, but that these two girls and Zhang Yang would squeeze her out. Give others an opportunity, Nanny Jiang, other things are fine, but once Shen Qingyi is determined to be the master, she will definitely risk her life to protect her, and then she will have to deal with the covetous people outside the Lengsu Palace , and had to deal with the open and covert infighting in her own palace, Jiang Nanny would rather hang around in the laundry bureau, at least she wouldn't die so quickly.

Mother Jiang was a little surprised, pretending to be stern and said: "This old slave is very strict. You two have to serve your mother during the day, and keep one person on duty every night, and the other has to wash and fetch water for me. I've said my ugly words to the end, but don't be unhappy when the time comes!"

"Mammy is worrying too much. Mammy is working hard to serve your mother, and you have to worry about so many things. It is right for two servants to serve you." Yu Lian said sweetly.

Mother Jiang heard this, but she didn't know how to respond. The girl Yu Lian was tortured by Concubine Xue, and she didn't say anything bad about Ningsu Palace, and now she is showing weakness in front of a stranger like her. No matter what, Mother Jiang felt uneasy after hearing this.In fact, those who gain face in front of their master will be served by court ladies, but they are usually inferior court ladies, and they can't get the turn of the first-class maids around the empress. To put it bluntly, Yu Lian and Yu He The two have to be served by a little maid.

"Don't act like you've smeared honey on your mouth right now, and turn around and speak bad things about the old woman behind your back. You two have to think about it carefully. As long as my mother and I enter the Ningsu Palace, the two of you will have to be restrained." !" Mother Jiang still couldn't believe it, she glanced at Shen Qingyi and said.Just now Shen Qingyi couldn't even be the master of the two of them, it can be seen how she was used to it in daily life.

Yu Lian's quick temper came up again, and she raised her head and said: "The two slaves are willing to be sent by the nanny, as long as the nanny can protect the mother well, let the slaves do whatever they want! But if the nanny makes the mother wronged , slaves will definitely be the first to be unforgiving."

Yu He tugged Yu Lian, and lightly reprimanded: "Where is your share in talking, the empress trusts Jiang Nanny, Jiang Nanny must be able to do it!"

If it is said that Mother Jiang was still worried before, but now she is at ease, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, get up! This old slave is just trying to test you, and will not really let you serve. There are so many of you." No need for the little maid, tell you two what to do!"

It was only then that Yulian realized that Nanny Jiang was the two of them, and she kept her mouth shut in displeasure.

Jiang Nanny knew what Yu Lian was thinking, so she looked at Shen Qingyi with a smile, and said with a blessing: "Your Majesty, Yu Lian and Yu He are desperately protecting you, and the old servants are working together, this situation is bound to be difficult. It's reversed, the empress just relax."

Yu Lian is not stupid either. Hearing what Jiang Nanny said, she knew that Jiang Nanny was worried that they would have internal strife, so her expression softened immediately, and she had a little more admiration for Jiang Nanny. If you are in the palace, you can think of the problem to the point, no wonder Su Nanny recommended it.

Shen Qingyi knew what Jiang Nanny meant, so she agreed, and immediately said with a smile on her face: "There are many vacant rooms in Ningsu Palace, and Nanny can choose one at will."

Jiang Nanny didn't shirk, and said bluntly: "It's best for this old slave to live in the room closest to the empress. In case there is something wrong with the empress in the middle of the night, this old slave will know as soon as possible."

The room closest to Shen Qingyi was lived by Yu Lian, and Yu Lian immediately said: "Then servant will clean up the house and move to Yu He's room, and the mother will live in the room of the slave."

After everything was settled, Mother Jiang went to serve Shen Qingyi, and sent the always pungent Yu Lian to the small kitchen. One was afraid that Yu Lian would be serving in the hall. If any concubine came to pay her respects, Yu Lian would lose control. Temperament; the second small kitchen is the most important thing, with Yu Lian and Baicao Xiaosheng watching there, basically there will be no problems.

"Empress Empress, it's not a long-term solution for you to always come here with soldiers to cover up water and soil!" Mother Jiang handed Shen Qingyi a jade roll, and said respectfully.
