Luoyang Brocade Chapter 266: Errand (2)


Ling Jingshu responded respectfully and humbly: "Returning to the Queen, I have been studying since I was a child. I am not outstanding in poetry, but I have no problem with reading and writing. I am also involved in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can also do some needlework. However, Not even proficient. What I like and am best at is planting peonies."

"This slave has never done things like dressing up and changing clothes, so I have to learn from scratch. For things like cleaning and laundry, I have to ask my sisters for advice."

Ruilian and Qiu Shuang exchanged knowing glances.

Ling Jingshu was born into a noble family. She had read poetry and books since she was a child, and spent her free time growing flowers, playing the piano, and reading. How could she possibly do these tasks of serving people?

Besides, Queen Xu’s errands are already being led by someone. Ling Jingshu's entry into the palace as an errand will undoubtedly take away part of the errands from certain people. I wonder who this "lucky" will fall on?

"Is there still no one around me who can help me with dressing and dressing?"

Empress Xu smiled and said: "I did not call you into the palace to ask you to do menial work. You don't need to learn these trivial things. Well, if you are good at growing peonies and serving flowers, I will I'll leave all the potted plants and flowers in the Jiaofang Palace to you to take care of. You don't need to be on night watch on weekdays. Just come and chat with me when you have nothing to do."

This job is indeed relaxing and leisurely, and she is doing what she is best at and enjoys most.

Ling Jingshu smiled and thanked her.

Ruilian and Qiu Shuang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Luoyan’s job to serve the flowers and grasslands. Now that it is given to Ling Jingshu, at least a few palace ladies must be assigned to Ling Jingshu's staff. If power is to be divided, it should be divided between Luoyan and Luoyan, as long as it doesn't affect the two of them.

"Ruilian, take Ling Jingshu to talk to Luoyan and hand over the errands as soon as possible." Empress Xu casually ordered: "In the next few days, you will tell me in detail the rules of being an errand in Jiaofang Palace. Her."

Ruilian cheered up and agreed with a smile.

Qiu Shuang looked on, feeling quite unhappy.

People are more infuriating than others. She was very proud of herself around Queen Xu, and people flattered her wherever she went. But compared with Ruilian, she is unfortunately a little behind.

The first person Queen Xu calls is always Ruilian, and the second one is her turn. This also fully illustrates the status ranking in the mind of the master.

If she wants to get past Ruilian, she has to use her brains and think of more ways...

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Queen Xu say with a half-smile: "Ruilian, you should be more careful and teach all the rules that should be taught. If Ling Jingshu makes a mistake when she is on duty, I will The first one in the palace will punish you!"

Ruilian responded fearfully: "Yes, I obey."

This is not a knock on Ruilian, it is simply a way to intimidate her!

Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but said softly: "This slave will definitely learn the rules well and will never drag down Sister Ruilian."

……

As Ruilian led Ling Jingshu forward, she laughed in a low voice: "Ah Shu, don't take what the Queen said just now to heart. I have served the Queen for several years, and I know her temper best. Queen. The rules are a bit strict, but she is very lenient to us. Even if we make a mistake, the empress will only reprimand us a few words, but will not really punish us."

This Ruilian, who looks smiling, is actually quite charming. There is no real emotion on his face at all.

"When my sister said this, I felt much more at ease."

Everyone is good at acting. Ling Jingshu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and praised Ruilian a few more words: "The Queen does not treat everyone like this. Sister Ruilian is smart and capable, no wonder the Queen is partial to her. In the future, I If I could have half the sister I have, I would be satisfied."

Ruilian pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at you, praise me like a flower."

The two talked and laughed along the way and were very affectionate. No one looking at them would have guessed that the two of them had just met today.

Luoyan's house is very close to Ling Jingshu's residence.

Ruilian knocked on the door gently, and soon the door opened, revealing a fair woman's face. This woman is Luoyan.

Luoyan's name is quite pleasant, but his appearance is really not outstanding. At most, he has good facial features. She is also taller than ordinary women.

Ruilian quickly explained her purpose of coming: "...from now on, leave all the care of flowers and plants to Ah Shu! The maids under you will also give half to Ah Shu."

Ling Jingshu appeared out of nowhere and stole half of her errands and manpower. Luoyan was not in a good mood at all. Since Ruilian was there, Luoyan couldn't say anything and quickly agreed.

It's just that he doesn't look very good.

Ling Jingshu felt relieved. If all the female officials in Jiaofang Palace were as good as Ruilian, it would be difficult for them to move forward in the future. Luo Yan was so obvious that he didn't want to be seen, but it was much easier to deal with.

Ling Jingshu showed the humility and courtesy of a senior: "I am not familiar with the work of being an errand. Please ask Sister Luoyan to take care of me and give me some advice in the future."

"I only entered the palace two years earlier than you, so I don't dare to take care of you." Luo Yanpi responded with a smile: "It's already late today, and it's too late to hand over the manpower and errands. Tomorrow Come back in the morning!"

After saying that, he yawned.

Since everyone had made it so obvious, Ling Jingshu would not be so shameless as to stay and leave. She hurriedly said goodbye with a smile: "It's almost dinner time, so I won't waste Sister Luoyan's time and go back first."

Luoyan snorted lukewarmly.

……

Ever since Ling Jingshu went out, Bai Yu stretched her neck eagerly to wait for her to come back. While waiting, I felt anxious and nervous in my heart.

Queen Xu didn’t deliberately make things difficult for the young lady, did she?

What kind of errand will the lady get?

God bless you, but it won’t be those clumsy jobs. The young lady’s white, tender and soft hands ~IndoMTL.com~ can’t be used to serve others if their fingers are not wet with spring water on weekdays...

"Bai Yu, I'm back." A familiar voice sounded at the door.

Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and she stood up excitedly to greet her: "Miss, you are finally back. This slave has been waiting for a long time, and has been very nervous."

Ling Jingshu laughed dumbly: "It's only been more than half an hour. You have nothing to worry about."

Bai Yu sighed softly: "If it were in the past, I would not be in a hurry even if I waited for a long time. But now..."

Can it be the same now?

When I arrived in this strange place, I saw strange faces everywhere. The young lady wants to call herself a slave and serve the most noble woman in the Zhou Dynasty, who is also the master of the Jiaofang Palace. If you are not careful, you will be scolded and reprimanded.

When she thought of the young lady having to be humble and submissive to serve others, her heart was full of sorrow and sadness.

Bai Yu couldn't speak anymore, her eye circles were red, and she choked slightly. (To be continued.)
