C225 The Emperor drives to

"This servant greets Fructus Cunninghami." This servant greets Fructus Cunninghami. Bai Dezi bowed to Wang Zirou with one knee, while Ping Er and Ming Cui knelt down together, kowtowing three times to Wang Zirou, "This servant greets Fructus Cunninghami, and offers my blessings to Fructus Cunninghami."

Forget about the fact that the young miss of the Wang family had already taken over the Zhao Yang Hall, just saying that she begged the emperor to let two people follow her here was already a blessing in disguise.

"You should rise!" After entering the Zhao Yang Hall, Wang Zirou did not dare to be too casual, as their relationship was not at this time either.

"Thank you, Fructus Cunninghami!" Bai Dezi stood up, Ping Er and Ming Cui followed along, quietly standing behind Bai Dezi.

"Fructus Cunninghami, these are the two palace maids that the Emperor had bestowed upon you. His Majesty said that the two of them only knew each other in the storage palace, it would be easier to get used to, even if you are slightly familiar with them."

Bai Dezi was openly trying to please the emperor and also trying to consolidate his position in the Zhao Yang Hall. Although Ziya Rou had been bestowed with the position of Zhao Yang Hall, but he was afraid of some stupid and ignorant servants or the great lord who would bully the masters. If the Fructus Cunninghami suffered any grievances here, the emperor would be angry and there would be more than just one or two of them that would be implicated.

"Thank you for the reward, and thank Eunuch Bai for your kind intentions as well." Wang Zirou was too lazy to think, and it was not that she did not have any thoughts, so of course she could discern Bai Dezi's intentions and she hurriedly thanked him.

After all, in this palace, the greatest reliance was the emperor, and this Eunuch Bai was the one who was most useful to the emperor. Since the emperor had helped him establish his prestige, then he would have to repay the favor.

"Eunuch Bai, you can go back to work if you have something to do. I can handle it myself." Wang Zirou took out a silver note with a small face from her own pouch. This silver was specially prepared for him by her mother before she entered the palace, just for her reward.

Because he knew that he had to stay in the palace for a period of time, it wasn't convenient to bring cash. His mother had prepared some banknotes for him, but no matter how small the banknotes were, they were worth at least 5 taels of silver to 10 taels of silver.

As a result, when Wang Zirou was in the storage palace, she did not reward anyone even once. Even Ping Er, who took care of herself, did not reward him.

But today, after receiving so many benefits from Eunuch Bai, Wang Zirou felt very apologetic. She had to repay the favor she owed in the future, but she could not ignore it now.

"Eunuch Bai, please don't mind the amount of silver taels. Just treat it as a token of your appreciation. You can keep it for a cup of tea."

Bai Dezi originally did not want to accept the bounty, but after thinking about it, since it was the first time the Fructus Cunninghami gave a bounty, he would take it as giving face to the Fructus Cunninghami. He would have to accept it, and there would be more opportunities to repay this favor in the future.

"Thank you, Fructus Cunninghami, for your rewards. This servant will return to the Palace and ask you to prepare some things. I will be back shortly."

This Eunuch Bai was one of the most valued by His Majesty. Judging from his attitude towards this new master, it was likely that even the emperor had taken this Fructus Cunninghami into consideration.

From the looks of it, what he had just said was right. Qing Liang was also looking forward to the hall she was waiting for. If she could enter a favoured master, then the days in the hall would be much better.

Furthermore, this young master seemed to have a kind personality. It would be great if he could do that. "This servant will respectfully escort Eunuch Bai out." Seeing Bai Dezi take two steps back and turn around, Qing Hai felt more and more that this new master of his had a strong background.

"No need to send us off, we can leave on our own. You even brought your people to take care of Fructus Cunninghami, remember, don't let anything go wrong." She didn't expect Eunuch Bai to remind her. She immediately bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you Eunuch Bai for your advice. This servant can wake up now. Little Suo, escort Eunuch Bai out of the hall." Although Eunuch Bai didn't need to send him off, he still couldn't let him out of the hall by himself. Qing Qing quickly called for a maid and sent Eunuch Bai out.

"Fructus Cunninghami, would you like to rest first or wash up first?" He had originally wanted to let this master rest first, but with his good eyesight, he discovered that Wang Zirou's collar wasn't properly fastened. Although he didn't know what unforeseen event it was, with this master's good eyesight, he probably wanted to wash first.

"Prepare some water. I don't know which place is the place to bathe, but I still need to trouble you to lead me there." Wang Zirou naturally wanted to wash first. Having been tormented for the entire morning, his body was sticky, and it was simply too uncomfortable.

"If the Fructus Cunninghami has any orders, just say it, you are now the master of the Zhao Yang Hall, you cannot be courteous to us servants, whatever this servant does for the master, it is only right, there is no need to trouble, no trouble at all."

Qing Xiang replied respectfully to Wang Zirou as she walked to Wang Zirou's side and made a hand gesture, then personally led Wang Zirou to wash up.

"Let the two of them follow us." Seeing the two palace maids following behind Qing Liang, Wang Zirou felt that it would be more convenient to get acquainted with them.

After all bathing was a very private thing, she would feel uncomfortable in front of strangers, although Ping Er and him were not really close, but at least it was better than strangers.

"You two, keep up." Qing Guan turned around and signaled Ping Er and Ming Cui to come over. The two of them were immediately filled with surprise and joy, while the two unfamiliar palace maids' faces paled, but they still withdrew without saying a word.

"The two of you go and make the bed for Fructus Cunninghami. Then, send someone to bring lunch over. It's good enough for Fructus Cunninghami to have a bath." When the two of them heard the good news, their complexions finally eased up.

After all, they had stayed in the same hall for so long, and they had gotten along quite well, so they did not wish for the days of the palace maids to be bad. While Fructus Cunninghami was still not familiar with the situation in the hall, they could make more opportunities for the few beautiful girls to show their faces before their mistress.

Otherwise, life in the palace wouldn't be so good. After seeing the two of them happily accepting their orders, Qingzhuang then continued to lead Wang Zirou to the bathing room. However, when they returned to the Fructus Cunninghami's side, they saw her sunken face.

Qing Guang immediately scolded himself. He was looking at his master's good nature and had forgotten who he was, "This servant has gone overboard, Fructus Cunninghami please punish me."

He had just entered the Zhao Yang Hall, and was already making such a ruckus. Wasn't this simply slapping his master's face?

"How did you exceed the limit?" However, Wang Zirou did not wake them up. It seemed that there were hidden talents in the Zhao Yang Hall, and if he was not careful, he might be eaten by others.

"This servant shouldn't have acted on my own. I shouldn't have arranged matters in the palace without asking for permission from the lord. I shouldn't have been disrespectful to the lord, so I ask for punishment."

Ping Er and Ming Cui who were confused a moment ago, finally understood why this big palace maid suddenly knelt down. They too, quickly kneeled down, their hearts thumping hard.

It seemed like there were too many things he had to learn in this imperial harem. Otherwise, if he didn't even know when he had made a mistake, wouldn't he be courting his own death?

"Rise, what are you saying? You are only arranging some important matters, how can there be any punishment? The two of you have to do the same thing, don't be so cowardly."

Wang Zirou did not want to do anything to Qing Qing, but she did not want her to be too arrogant either.

"Thank you, my lord!" Qing Zhu kowtowed to Wang Zirou, then stood up.

"Thank you, Fructus Cunninghami!" Ping Er and Ming Cui also quickly kowtowed and stood up to accompany Wang Zirou to wash up.

When Wang Zirou went to soak in the bathtub, it was extremely comfortable. As she recalled how she did not even manage to shower in the morning, she felt that life was really just a play. She did not know when it would end.

Bathed in the bathtub, although Wang Zirou was comfortable, she was still clear-headed. She carefully thought about her current situation, but didn't know where the Emperor would arrange for her to sit. She didn't know how far the Emperor would like her to go.

However, Wang Zirou's heart had already calmed down, and was no longer as terrified as before she took a bath. Since she gave up the calm outside to resolutely enter the palace just because she missed him, she might as well push herself forward.

Since he had made the choice, he would not turn back. Even if he lost him, or lost himself, there was nothing to regret. After all, there was nothing to regret after all the effort he had put in.

He had brought love with him, and if he did not cherish it, it was because he did not have good fortune! Wang Zirou took a comfortable bath, then ate the first meal from the palace. Overall, he felt that it was not bad.

Wang Zirou laid down on the bed and slept soundly. She felt that this new master of hers was kind of open-minded, today was the first time she had taken over, if it was someone else, she wouldn't be so crazy that she could sleep.

This person was sleeping soundly. After sleeping for two hours, he had just woken up. "This servant will comb Master's hair."

Before Qing Qing could comb Wang Zirou's hair, she heard a melody from outside, "The Emperor has arrived —"

Qing Qing was so frightened that she hurriedly increased the speed of her hands. However, before she could react, the last strand of hair had not been tied up. The Emperor had already entered the inner chamber.

"maidservant greets the Emperor. May the Emperor be at ease!" Wang Zirou also did not expect the emperor to come in so quickly. She hurriedly held onto that lock of hair with one hand and knelt to greet them.

"Your servant greets the emperor, your majesty!" Qing Guan was also at a loss of what to do as she knelt behind Wang Zirou. This was the first time she had seen the Emperor's face.

She was not the one who served the previous master of the Zhao Yang Hall. When the Zhao Yang Hall was empty, she was then arranged to come and look at the hall. This was the first time she saw him, and she was really a little flustered.

When Luo Qingyue saw Wang Zirou kneel down and pay her respects, he quickly walked forward to help her up. Feeling his hand tremble gently, Luo Qingyue immediately found it hard to restrain his emotions.
