Uncle Guo, your heart thief has been promoted again

Chapter 117

After Lu Sibao finished speaking, he immediately said to Jiang Baoyu: "Since you're back, don't stick around here, go to the team quickly."

Yuhua and Xu Qingmeng then waved to Jiang Baoyu, and she went to them.

"Baoyu, what should you do?"

Yuhua immediately expressed concern.

Seeing Jiang Baoyu's puzzled expression, Xu Qingmeng hurriedly explained to her: "There is news that the imperial dress newly chosen by the empress has already entered the palace, and she is meeting the empress in the Penglai Palace right now."

"Enter the palace?"

Jiang Baoyu thought that the new Shangfu should not be in the Shangfu bureau now, but she just thought it was a promotion, or was transferred to another bureau to work, did not expect to have left the palace?
"Well, it's an adult who left the palace ten years ago."

Yuhua said thoughtfully, and soon looked at Jiang Baoyu with regret and said, "But do you know how she got out of the palace?"

"Why?" Jiang Baoyu looked puzzled, but quickly thought of something, "Could it be related to my aunt?"

Yuhua nodded, and continued: "At that time, I had only entered the palace for a year, so I was not very clear about everything, but I had heard about this matter."

As she spoke, she began to tell Jiang Baoyu about the grievances between Mu Gui and Jiang Rongxi.

The two were originally close friends in the palace, and their relationship was very good.

At that time, Jiang Rongxi was in the Harem Shangfu Bureau, and Mu Gui was in the Queen's Shangfu Bureau. The two had their own characteristics, and they had been promoted together without interfering with each other.

Later, Jiang Rong was lucky to have the right time, place, and people, and was promoted to Shangfu of the Harem Shangfu Bureau one step earlier, but because of bad luck, Mu Gui was not allowed to be the imperial old Shangfu at that time—Jiang Baoyu's great-aunt Jiang Shangfu, who is full of talents. Everywhere, everywhere is suppressed.

Later, Jiang Laoshang served as an honorary scholar, and both Mu Gui and Jiang Rongxi were among the candidates.

At that time, Empress Xiao ordered the two to have a competition, and the emperor would personally select the one who won the emperor's favor, and the one who would win the emperor's favor would become the new imperial servant.

In the beginning, the two of them were very friendly, and agreed to go all out together, and to get this position with real skills.

At that time, Mu Gui had been working in the Shangfu Bureau of the Imperial Palace, and knew the emperor's preferences best, and occasionally served the emperor several times, and had also received rewards from the emperor, while Jiang Rongxi had been working in the Shangfu Bureau of the Imperial Palace, and had no contact with the emperor. .

Therefore, everyone felt that Mu Gui had a better chance of winning.

But in the end it was Jiang Rongxi who got the position.

There are different opinions in the palace on this matter, but the most widely circulated one is the following one.

It is said that Shui Lige, who was still a concubine at the time, spoke well of Jiang Rongxi by the emperor's side. The emperor loved the concubine the most and almost took her preferences as his own, so he chose Jiang Rongxi.

And Jiang Rongxi has been her confidant since Concubine Xian entered the palace, this is something everyone in the palace knows.

Such a frivolous rumor wiped out all Jiang Rongxi's efforts in an instant.

She was naturally unconvinced, and went to Concubine Xian in person, begging her to come forward to avenge her grievances.

But Concubine Xian told her to be calm and not to be impatient, and said that if she wanted to be in her position, she would have to bear the burden.

That's the price of being in this position.

Jiang Rongxi accepted it silently, but Mu Gui seemed to have believed the rumors, had a big fight with her, and said a lot of things that made Jiang Rongxi sad.

The two broke up.

But one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Now that Jiang Rongxi has become the imperial dress, she has to bow her head and see Mu Gui. Although she wants to get back together, Mu Gui refuses to accept it. After a while, she uses the excuse of physical discomfort. At the age of 25, she came out early. Palace went.

"But it's fine if she comes, you didn't see Chen Shangfu's face when you knew it was her. She was in the examination room at that time, she wanted to lose her temper but couldn't do it right away, she went around several times and rushed out.

Later, when I came back from the exam, I happened to pass by her residence and heard the sound of something falling inside. "

Xu Qingmeng was even more worried about Jiang Baoyu's situation, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Baoyu and said, "Now that Mr. Mu is coming to make royal clothes, he will definitely take the Jiang family first."

After hearing this, Yuhua looked at Jiang Baoyu distressedly and said, "I heard from Amang that Jiang Siyi wanted to take you to the East Palace Fashion Bureau but you refused, why don't you think about it and go with her." Go. I'll be there by then, so I can take care of you more or less."

Jiang Baoyu had been listening to them quietly, until now he had a little reaction, but it was not for himself, but for Yuhua.

"So, sister Yuhua is confident in taking the exam this time?"

Yu Hua choked, but she didn't know if she should share this matter with Jiang Baoyu right now.

It was Xu Qingmeng who spoke for her.

"Sister Yuhua's work this time has won the favor of the chief examiner, and it has been listed as excellent. It should be a sure thing to become a female officer."

"Congratulations then."

Jiang Baoyu hadn't heard such a happy thing for a long time, and his heart felt much more relaxed. He immediately grabbed Yuhua's arm and said, "For such a good thing, we should set up a good table of wine and food. If you don't get drunk, you won't return."

She spoke very smoothly, and her appearance was as free and easy as before, as if nothing had happened to her, but she was stunned by Yuhua and Xu Qingmeng.

Yuhua's eyes turned red immediately, and she took her hand distressedly.

"Baoyu, you—"

Xu Qingmeng even hugged Jiang Baoyu, patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, you did the right thing, you did the right thing."

As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Baoyu's shoulders with both hands and said, "At least you still have us, and we will always be by your side."

While the three of them were talking, a little bun squeezed in from nowhere, raised his head and said angrily, "The three of you are whispering behind my back again, can you stop isolating me?"

Seeing Aman, Yuhua and Xu Qingmeng were also surprised.

Yuhua even grabbed her by the neck and brought her between the three of them.

"Where did you go, girl? Qing Meng and I have been looking for you for an hour, and we thought you were lost."

But Aman did not dare to rush forward, and quickly shrank behind the three of them, peeking at Lu Sibao who was standing not far away through the seam of their clothes, and whispered: "Shh, I offended Lu Sibao the day before yesterday Unfortunately, she doesn't recognize me, so I can't let her see me now."

"Aren't you guys standing up quickly? Your lord has already come over."

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the front.

I saw a middle-aged woman walking behind the two female officials, walking towards this side.

He is said to be middle-aged, but in fact he has already grown hair, and his face has a bit of vicissitudes. Not to mention that he looks much older than Lu Sibao, even Jiang Rongxi looks several years older.

There was no way she could be seen as someone her age.

But this is also a matter of common sense.

People who can enter the palace as female officials, like Jiang Rongxi, who have no worries about food and clothing, and who enter the palace wholeheartedly to achieve the highest level of clothing making, are the fewest of these palace ladies.

Most of them are from poor families like Yuhua.

It has been ten years since Mu Gui left the palace at the age of 25.

In ten years, a lot can happen.

Without fine clothes and fine food, women who have to work hard for their livelihood will naturally grow old very quickly.

But right now, no one in the Imperial Fashion Bureau dares to stare at her gorgeous hair and wrinkles and slander her.

Because they all know that the fire of the new official's appointment is about to start...
