Finally looking forward to the day of service, careful not to touch the king;

Jun Wu Yi's heart was unable to calm down, and his daughter's heart was as sweet as honey.

When Aunt Cheng returned in the evening, she explained in detail the arrangements for the maids, which were usually as follows: Every night, when the emperor was resting, there were two maids guarding the door of the East Warm Pavilion. As long as the emperor had any needs, he needed two maids guarding the door of the palace, and there were also two eunuchs guarding the door of the palace as well.

In the morning, the emperor was in court. The four palace maids that had been on guard the night before could go to rest, while the other four palace maids were basically the imperial palace's full-time palace attendant. When the emperor wasn't at court, they were basically fine and waited at the palace. In the morning, there would be palace maids doing chores to clean up the palace. After the emperor paid his respects to the empress dowager and returned to the palace, he would usually be waiting in the west hall for his lunch and reading in the study. At that time, he would have two palace maids waiting by his side and the other two by the door.

In addition, there were also four palace maids, Aunt Jia Li, who served lunch and dinner. Normally, the emperor wouldn't be in the palace in the afternoon, and if he hadn't gone to the Heartrecourses Mansion to study or look at his paper money, he would have gone to the Arrow Pavilion to practice his archery. This was not accompanied by a palace maid, but rather, the palace maids were all waiting in the palace for the emperor's return.

At night, the emperor would usually stay in the Western Palace to read and read, so these four palace maids would wait on him. At night, after changing into clothes and washing up, he would be served by the four palace maids of the day and the four palace maids that stayed watch at night. After that, the day's work as a palace maid was done.

Therefore, the palace maids were divided into three groups of twelve and had to be prepared whenever they were not on duty. If there was any sudden need, it would be easy for them to arrive anytime.

In fact, every day's work was very simple, it was just pouring tea for the emperor, and the tasks of sending the message were all done by the eunuch, who was assigned by Aunty Xiao to accompany her during the day on the second day. In addition to Lingxiang, there was also Xia He and Gui Ting, who had been in the palace for four years; the palace maids were truly carefully selected, and most people wouldn't be able to enter if the empress dowager wasn't attentive enough to send in a group like Gai, Ling Wei and Yin Ruoran, who might not be able to enter for the rest of their lives.

The next day, just after Yin and the four men who were on duty during the day got up to fetch some water and waited outside the palace gates. Not long after the palace maids came out to say that the Emperor was up, they went in to serve him.

Seeing her nervously staring at the washbasin and walking carefully, he felt that it was extremely interesting. Suddenly, he started to tease her, then deliberately coughed heavily, as he was already nervous to begin with. When he suddenly heard the emperor's cough, he was truly shocked, and stopped his steps. Then, he took the washbasin from her hands, and walked to the emperor's side, saying, "Your majesty, your servant will help you wash your face." This tone was not as cold as usual, it was filled with a hint of politeness. Now, Gai Rong'er finally understood what Yin Ruolan and Xiaoqing meant when they said they were trying to please the Emperor in front of his presence. Gai Rong'er thought to himself, Truthfully, I really didn't know that Ling Ying'er was such a person.

Xuan Ye saw Ling Jiao'er take the basin. Although he was a bit disappointed, he didn't say anything. After washing his face and changing his clothes, he left with the eunuch in front of the emperor, Eunuch Zhang, to attend to the court.

In fact, Gayon didn't really help much this morning, because she was a newcomer and it wasn't appropriate for her to interfere. Seeing the other palace maids helping the emperor change his clothes and comb his hair, she could only watch from the sidelines. The emperor had no business with them. He had gone to rest with the maids of the night last night, and some of the servants and eunuchs had come to clean up the place. Gayon and the others had been waiting in the palace.

After resting for a while, she went out again. When she left, Eunuch Zhang called out, "The emperor controls the palace," and once the emperor left, they all relaxed, Rong'er found that being a palace attendant was really quite leisurely, there was nothing much to do, she carefully examined the palace. Since she was sent to the palace, she had always been doing chores on the outside, and had yet to enter the palace.

In the evening, after the Emperor returned from dinner, he would read in the study of the Western Palace. Lingxiu and Xia He served by his side, while Gai Rong'er and Gui Ting waited outside the door of the Warm Pavilion. Gai Rong'er was overjoyed when he thought that she could finally look at the Emperor so closely. Right now, she was in the same hall as the emperor, breathing the same air. She felt very happy in her heart. Her mind was filled with the shadow of the emperor she had seen all day long, and countless small flames were darting about wantonly in her heart.

At night, when the emperor was reading in his study room, he actually saw his son. Even Gui Ting, who was standing opposite of him, looked like she was about to fall asleep. He didn't expect that it would be like this. The Emperor was only 13 years old, and the children of ordinary families loved to play around, yet the Emperor was able to remain calm. The Son of Heaven was truly worthy of being called a Son of Heaven.

After a while, the emperor finally decided to go to bed. When the emperor went to bed at night, the four palace maids and Rong'er who were guarding the palace all came to serve him together, but it was a pity that Jia Rong'er couldn't do anything and could only watch from the side.

At night, lying on the warm pit, Gai Rong'er was actually so excited that he couldn't sleep. He pinched his own face, it was true, then scolded himself: "Gai Rong'er, look at yourself, you look like you've been taught by Ama, and actually did something stupid. You must have been with Xiao Qing for a long time, to be calm and dignified, to have the appearance of a girl. That night, everything was sweet.
