C109 (1/2)
In April, grass and birds flew about, and the heavy winter gown had changed into spring clothes. Because the Imperial Lower Consort Lan was small, the palace concubines who had been cautious for a period of time had all blossomed with flowers and blossoms once again.
In the palace, Imperial Consort Guo was still the most pampered, followed by the Imperial Noble Lady Yu. Imperial Lower Consort Yang and the Imperial Lower Consort Liu had an average of three days per month, and the other beauties had been pampered for one or two days, but the Jingyang Palace had been completely forgotten by the Emperor.
She then said to Palace Manager Cui, ”The palace has not had a large examination for a long time, so after taking this opportunity to arrange it, other than the various sets of Palace Manager s, all the other palace maid s will have to take part in the examination to reorder their ranks.”
”For someone like the Empress who is close to serve you and yet doesn't know how to make up for it, that is absolutely impossible.” Wang Rong He said. All those who did not qualify were sent out of the palace. But considering the fact that they had served in the palace, it was not a big mistake. Anyone who left the palace could get ten silver coins, which was a red satin household's fee, and the money would be taken out of the Kunning Palace private treasury. There are still palace maid between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. If there are any who want to leave the palace, let them out as well. ”In addition to the household expenses, you can also take out the rewards you get from the palace.”
”Then Empress, are you going to pick a palace maid s from outside the palace again?” Palace Manager Cui said.
”There's no need for that. The palace has fewer lords now, let's talk about it when there's more people in the future.” Wang Rong He said. s of the Clothes Washing Bureau can also participate in this examination, but those who have been demoted to the Clothes Washing Bureau this year are not allowed to participate. ”
Wang Rong took the time to meet Fangruo once more. She bowed politely, not having the same divine splendor that Gu Panpan had before. Wang Rong looked at her, ”You stayed at Clothes Washing Bureau for a year in the blink of an eye.
”This servant dares not.” Fangruo said, ”This servant actually could have left the Clothes Washing Bureau long ago, but this servant did not, and this servant is waiting for the empress.”
”Do you still want to serve me?” Wang Rong asked.
”It's my honor to serve the Empress.” Fangruo said.
”Then, I'll give you a chance. Whether you can climb up or not will depend on your luck.” Wang Rong He said.
who was in Clothes Washing Bureau knew that this was the chance empress had spoken of when she heard about the palace maid's ranking test. Fangruo went back to find someone to exercise and see if she could get any internal information.
”Fangruo, are you prepared to participate in this exam?”
”Our Clothes Washing Bureau isn't close to your body, so it doesn't matter if you don't take the exam.” The granny said, ”Although it's good to be in the palace, you don't have to suffer in Clothes Washing Bureau anymore and you are still much more free. There's too much trouble in the palace, so my Clothes Washing Bureau is not as quiet as it is. ”
”I'm still young, my goal isn't just to be a senior nanny with Clothes Washing Bureau.” Fangruo said. This was a rare opportunity, and it was even rarer for someone of the Clothes Washing Bureau. Does Grandma plan on living in Clothes Washing Bureau or not? The rest of them are still unmoved by such matters. That would truly be a big idiot. ”
All the palace maid's examination ratings were for level one, level one, and only those who passed the examinations for the higher ups. There were not many people who could read in the palace maid, and the first five exams did not involve words that could understand words. Of course, only the next four exams in the later floors would have rank in palace maid. There were a lot of people at the front of the exam, but there were less and less at the back.
The examination lasted until June, when the initial lotus blossomed, and the final result was out. The twelve palace maid s who had all passed the ninth floor appeared before Wang Rong and Fangruo, who were inside.
”Empress, out of the twelve people, there are six palace maid s who were originally high ranked, and six who were admitted by low ranked palace maid s. Inside, Wuyou had come in from the Duke Yongnian Palace, and had such results on her first time participating in the great examination.
Other than that, Bao Zhang took the Qianqing Palace exam while Ye Lan took the dream incense from the Qin'an Hall exam. Ye Lan took the dream incense from the Ci Ning Palace, and Gu Yanxi was originally a Chuxiu Palace Attendant, not yet a Pet. She voluntarily lowered herself to palace maid to participate in the exam, while Fangruo was the last to pass the Clothes Washing Bureau exam. ” Palace Manager Cui reported everything in detail.
Wang Rong and Gu Yanxi looked at each other, dressed in palace attire, calmly standing with their hands at their sides. Why not attend the selection and become a palace maid? ”
”In reply to empress's words, is here to serve the selections. I feel that palace maid is still a bit more at ease.” Gu Yanxi replied.
”The imperial harem is His Majesty's woman, he can take advantage of anyone he wants, regardless of whether she is a candidate or a palace maid?” Wang Rong He said.
”This servant cannot be liked by His Majesty when she is in the selection process, and even more so when she is in the palace maid.” Gu Yanxi said.
Wang Rong He nodded. She said to the twelve of them, ”Since you have all passed the test, you are all heroes among women.” Each of them had their own rewards, and at the same time, the twelve of them could choose their next job.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Rong and the others both became the positions only second to the Palace Manager in their respective divisions. ”This is the significance of the assessment, those who are capable will be placed here.”
Naturally, Bao Zhang had to return to the Qianqing Palace. Wang Rong smiled and said, ”Aunt Bao Zhang is already a palace maid with the highest level of Qianqing Palace. Aunt Bao Zhang doesn't want to move the land.
”This servant originally came here to take the examination for no other reason, but I couldn't slip past the gentle breeze of Qianqing Palace.” Baozhang said.
”Aunt Bao Zhang can, but the other palace maid s cannot relax either. I heard that the other palace maid s' grades are not considered good, right?” Wang Rong said with a smile, ”Palace Manager Cui told me that she was very vexed, since she wanted to give way to someone higher than him, but she was also afraid that the person who shifted their Qianqing Palace might anger His Majesty.”
”What the Empress said caused this servant to feel extremely ashamed.” Bao Zhang said, ”When palace maid s of Qianqing Palace are replaced, it is fine to follow the rules. His Majesty prefers eunuch's service. Other than this subject, palace maid does not have any other preferences.”
”That's good.” Wang Rong He said. She added another reward to Baozhang.
