Finally seeing the phoenix face, the empress seemed gentle;

Sighing, the heavens sighed upon fate. Should my life truly return to this place?

Returning to the Second Northern Office, Auntie Xiao said amiably, "Congratulations to Miss Ruo Lan and Miss Wei'er. It would be a great blessing to be able to serve Master for ten thousand years. Also, congratulations to Miss Rong'er and Miss Zhi Zhi Zhi for being able to serve the empress's mistress. It's getting late. The four ladies will first return to their rooms to rest and wait for lunch. After lunch, an elder will lead you all to your master's palace. "

This was also the mindset of the palace. Being a servant to a master, being ordered around, and being stepped on by a lower position people, this was a kind of repressed mental rejection, but once the position of the other party was higher than yours, they would have to fawn on him in hopes that he wouldn't remember their past hatred. In fact, it was really quite pathetic. Gai Rong'er didn't know if he would end up like this if he stayed in the palace for too long.

As soon as Auntie Xiao finished speaking, Ling Qiao`er turned and entered the room. Wang Jingzhi smiled at Gayong before returning to the west wing as well. Due to their encounter on the first night after entering the palace, they had a good impression of each other. She was still thinking that Yin Ruo Lan had already dragged him to the East Room.

As for the remaining palace maids, they would have the inner palace and Aunt Xiao to divide them according to their needs.

Inside the house.

Yin Ruo Lan ran to Ling Xiang'er's side again. "Miss Ling, we need to look at each other in the future." Ling Yu'er nodded and didn't say anything else. Miss Ling, go serve the emperor, why don't you feel happy at all? " Ling Jiao'er still did not say anything.

After a while, the other palace maids also entered the room. Su Ya ran up to Gai Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, Sun Xiaoxiao and I have been assigned to serve Zhang as well. We'll be together in the future."

"Oh, really? That's great! " Gai Rong'er was very happy. Although Su Ya wasn't beautiful, she had a very amiable and kind character. After being together with her for a few days, Gai Rong'er still liked her very much.

Not long after they returned, lunch was served, and a few of the eunuchs from the internal palace came over. The two eunuchs led Gai Rong'er, Wang Jingzhi, Su Ya, and Sun Xiaoxiao towards the palace, through the imperial garden, and soon after they arrived at the Kunning Gate. The eunuch and the eunuch who guarded the gate greeted them and led them directly in. Do you understand? Now wait here. " With that, he walked towards the palace in front of him.

There was a magnificent palace in front of them, with a yellow roof and red beams, and it was quite impressive. She had never seen such a magnificent house in her life.

A minute later, the eunuch returned and said, "Follow me and pay your respects to the empress." The four of them followed their father-in-law into the main hall. The inside of the palace was extremely grand, with thick and tall red pillars and a very high roof. The father-in-law led them to the East Warm Pavilion and entered a room. Gai Rong'er stealthily raised his head and saw a young woman around her age, dressed in silk, with a phoenix hairpin and many accessories on her head. She was sitting on a warm pit by the window with an extremely dignified temperament. The four of them bowed together.

The eunuch walked forward and said, "Empress, these four palace maids are newly assigned to the Kunning Palace." He pointed to Gayon and Wang Jingzhi. "These two were designated by the Empress Dowager to send you to the palace, and the other two were given to Zhang to agree to."

"Oh," he heard the empress's soft voice.

The eunuch continued, "The empress dowager said it wouldn't be proper for Zhang to allow her to stay in the Palace, but now that all the palaces are empty, it's not appropriate for her to stay there. However, it's not appropriate for her to continue staying in the Palace, so she should first open a room here at the Palace and let little master Zhang stay there first. After next year's selection, the other little masters will come in and move out."

"Alright, I understand. Bring them to the west side and tidy up a room." the queen said.

"Your servant obeys the decree." With that, Eunuch Cao brought Su Ya and Sun Xiaoqiao out.

"What's your name?" The queen asked. Gaillon and Wang Jingzhi reported their full names.

"Mm, alright. From now on, I'll call you Rong'er and call you Jing'er. How about it?" The two of them agreed.

"Spring Apricot, bring them out. If there's anything you need help with, just wait and do as you see fit." The empress spoke to an elderly palace maid standing by the side.

"Yes, this servant obeys the decree." Come with me. " Spring Apricot took them out. When he first met the Empress, he felt that she was very amiable.

Once they were out of the palace, Spring Apricot brought them to a row of small ears by the gate. He pointed at them and said, "This is for the tea, this is for the snacks, and this is for the master's clothes." Finally, he pointed to a small eardrum at the end of the room and said, "This is where our palace maids live. There are a total of ten palace maids serving the empress's wife in Peace Palace, and each of them has a different job. As the head of this palace, you can call me Aunty Spring Apricot. I will also slowly teach you the rules of this palace along with the other palace maids. " Spring Apricot continued to speak, "It's your luck to be here at the Kunning Palace. Our master is very easy to serve him, and our master is very gentle, he won't suffer much even if we were to treat him carefully. It's not too early to rest for the next few hours, so we'll call you guys over when we're eating, and then we'll tell you about it after we've finished eating."

Gayon and Wang Jingzhi entered the ear room, a small room with a large kang, and all the ladies were there to rest. Since it was almost time for dinner, all the ladies had gone to serve the queen's meals, so there was no one in the room.

Did my life in the palace begin just like that? When a palace maid comes home after ten years, is this the end of my life?
