The world is heavy and late

Chapter 1 Entering the Palace
On the long palace road, two rows of court ladies followed the female officials in front and walked forward.

Because Xia Qing was not tall, she was the first one on the left column. She lowered her head and thought that she was going to live in the palace soon, but she was not really nervous. , live a day is just a day.

It's the same anywhere, as long as you don't marry.

That's right, Xia Qing entered the palace to escape the so-called marriage at home. After all, what kind of good marriage could a marriage be sold by his father to pay off his brother's gambling debts?

What's more, she didn't want to marry before she came here, let alone after this era.

Although she is thirteen years old this year, she is already considered old in front of this group of little court ladies who are generally only about ten years old, but who made her short, she looked as tall as others, so she begged the purchasing lady to put her buy it.

As for whether she was sad or not, she didn't really feel much, because it seemed that her parents and relatives had always been very close, so she was not demanding.

Just as he was thinking, the leading female officer spoke.

"Ms. Xu, this is a new batch of maids who have been purchased from various places. Next will be Mrs. Lao Xu."

The leading female officer walked to a large courtyard gate and bowed to a round-faced female officer about 30 years old standing at the door.

Envoy Xu smiled and nodded in return and said:

"There are Misses Laoshi along the way, I will take them away today, and I will trouble you later when I have something to do."

"The maid is polite."

Miss Smith quickly returned: "If you want to order again, just send someone to call the officer down."

Officer Xu nodded and smiled, then turned her head and glanced at the new batch of young maids, and said, "Follow me." Then she turned around and thought about going inside the door.

After Xia Qing heard the words, she raised her head and glanced at the plaque on the door, Qinghe Hall, followed her in with the little maid standing at the front on the right, and when she entered the door, she saw that it was a square courtyard .

As soon as the little maids entered the door, they couldn't help but quietly raised their heads to look around, and found that the doors of the rooms on three sides were knocked open, and there were beds connected inside, and they couldn't help but whisper to the people standing beside them.

Xia Qing looked around, but didn't really care. Every day since she came here, she felt like she was dreaming, and she really didn't have any interest in these things.

But obviously the little carrot head on her right didn't think so, she turned slightly to Xia Qing and whispered:
"Should we live here in the future?"

Talking and looking around.

"I think it's better to live on the east side. I can see the sun rise, how bright it is!"

Xia Qingce looked over at the little maid who was as tall as her, and found that she still had a little baby fat, her eyes were still bright when she looked around, and she was gurgling.

Xia Qing glanced at her, quite surprised, not for anything else, these days there are very few people who can have baby fat, and many people still can't eat enough, so they took a second look.

After Wu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, she didn't hear the answer from the person next to her, so she couldn't help turning her head to look at Xia Qing.

I don't want to feel a hand pinching her face as soon as I turn my head!

Her eyes widened and her mouth parted a little in shock.

Xia Qing looked at his sinful hands, then at Wu Xiaoyuan who was staring, and coughed uncomfortably.

Seeing that she was still looking at him, he quickly said:
"Ahem, I also like the east side. It's also bright in the morning, so it's definitely easier to wake up."

Wu Xiaoyuan bulged her cheeks, and said to Xia Qing

"you……"

Before she finished speaking, she was touched by Xia Qing. She turned around and saw Envoy Xu and the two big maids looking at them. She immediately lowered her head and dared not say any more, but she still pouted.

After envoy Xu led them in, she took two steps and stood on the steps and turned her head. Seeing them looking around and whispering quietly, her eyelids could not help but twitch, and then she looked at them fixedly.

The little maid at the bottom didn't dare to speak immediately after seeing it, and the scene gradually became quiet.

Envoy Xu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, and she could be taught.

"This is where you will be trained in the future. In addition to the tasks assigned to you in the next half month, the most important thing is to learn various palace rules."

Envoy Xu glanced at them as she spoke, her gaze seemed to be so powerful that it made everyone's hearts sink, and then she continued:

"When you go to each department, you will have their own rules, but what you have learned in the past half month is the rules of survival in the palace. If there is a mistake in these rules, be careful of the heads on your necks."

Speaking of this, envoy Xu paused and then said:
"I just want to tell you one thing, if you want to survive in the palace, you have to watch your eyes, mouth and ears, and don't do what you shouldn't say, don't listen to, don't look at, and be careful that you don't know how you die one day. "

After finishing speaking, he nodded to the two maids and said,
"I'll leave it to you first, and I'll come back tomorrow."

The two maids bowed and saluted, and then turned their heads after seeing the envoy Xu leave. One of them said to the audience with a list
"If I read the name, I have to answer it."

……

"Xia Qing"

"Here"

Xia Qing came back to his senses and replied immediately.

It's just that I heard too many little flowers, emerald flowers, and peach blossoms.Xia Qing was a little speechless, but she wasn't really shocked because it was normal. Children from poor families rarely named their boys, let alone girls. surname, and then according to the ranking call "big lady", "second lady", or "big girl", "second girl", that is married, and then named her husband's surname, called "Chen's daughter-in-law", "Li daughter-in-law".

I think most of the names I got here came from the time of shopping, and Xia Qing was the same, but it was not chosen by her parents. At that time, when the female officer of the shopping wrote down the household registration and asked for the name, her father didn't expect it for a while, and she said:

"Xia Qing.", "My name is Xia Qing."

Father Xia didn't object when he heard it, it was because he couldn't think of any good names.

"Wu Xiaoyuan"

"Here"

Only then did Xia Qing realize that the fat baby just now was named Wu Xiaoyuan when there was a reply from his side.

"These eight people, Room B No. [-]"

Eight people responded in unison, and waited until everyone was assigned, the grand lady closed the list and said to everyone

"Today you go to make the bed first, gather here at Chenshi tomorrow, and start learning the palace rules."

After finishing speaking, let them disperse, and went to their respective rooms to start making their beds. Wu Xiaoyuan and Xia Qing happened to be assigned to Room B No. [-], but unfortunately, this was the room on the north side. Walking to the innermost bed in the room, he put down the bundle, and Wu Xiaoyuan who came after him took a look at her, and still put the bundle on the bed next to her.

A peaceful night.

At Chenshi, everyone stood in the large open space in front of the courtyard, and Lady Xu and the two palace maids were already standing in front of the steps and watching them.

They quickly lined up, lowered their heads, and waited for envoy Xu to speak.

But envoy Xu didn't speak for a while, the people below stood with their heads down, envoy Xu was still sitting on the chair on the steps, slowly picking up the tea on the low table.
