Chapter 239 Loyal Maid
The aunt had never expected that she would meet such an ambitious person in such a small place. She patted Linlang's hand and said, "You are a person who knows the rules. I do have a few good places here. It depends on where you want to go..."

"I...the imperial kitchen." Linlang originally wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital, but the hospital had strict discipline and many medicinal materials were kept separately. Even if she went there, she probably wouldn't be able to touch anything. At least by going to the imperial kitchen, she could take care of the young lady.

The aunt looked at Linlang with suspicion, and saw that most of the places where ordinary people were chosen to serve were some leisurely or well-paid places. Although the imperial kitchen was not bad, it was hot in the summer, and more importantly, there were many rules in the imperial kitchen.

"Why did you go to that kind of place?" The aunt was afraid that someone had deliberately planted her there, and then the imperial kitchen would poison her. She became very alert. Even though she loved money, she couldn't ruin her life for it.

Linlang also understood that the other party had misunderstood, and she slapped her thigh and quickly explained: "Aunt, you misunderstood. I just want to go to the Imperial Kitchen to learn some skills. Although I can embroider, I am impatient and can't sit still. I just like to eat and study, so going to the Imperial Kitchen is the best choice. After learning one or two skills, I won't be afraid of not having food to eat after leaving the palace."

The aunt breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect that a little girl like you would have such ideas. Okay, I will arrange for you to work in the imperial kitchen, but you can only start as a little maid. When you go there, you must learn to be smart. Don't stare at the chef when he is cooking. On weekdays, work more and talk less. The imperial kitchen is not like other places. The most important thing is safety. Otherwise, no one can protect you if something happens."

Linlang nodded obediently, and then with the help of her aunt, she became the fire-maker in the imperial kitchen. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder day by day. If she was burning fire in the imperial kitchen on a hot day, she would be burned to death. However, she soon thought wrong. She was not qualified to be a fire-maker in her current status. Burning fire also requires skills. It must be done when it is necessary to be big, and small when it is necessary to be small.

Moreover, the fire is burning closer to the stove, which is where only the master chef's confidants can stay. Little palace maids like them are usually responsible for carrying firewood, or helping to boil water, or helping the master to fetch water.

Linlang did not say anything. Although she was a little palace maid, fortunately there was no shortage of food in the imperial kitchen. She used the food to win over some little palace maids and also found out a lot of information.

There are seven or eight ladies in the palace. The most favored one should be Concubine Shu, followed by Concubine Wang Zhaoyi. The other concubines are equally favored.

There are only two princesses in the palace now, the eldest princess born to the Empress and the second princess born to Concubine Zhao. The Emperor is now 25 years old. When the current Emperor was at this age, he already had three or four princes, but the current Emperor still has none, so there was the idea of ​​a beauty pageant.

"I heard that a total of seven or eight beauties were selected this time, and the most beautiful one among them should be Concubine Zhao. She is really as beautiful as a flower, and she is also the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

The most honorable among them is Concubine Wang, the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Concubine Wang's mother is a cousin of the Empress Dowager. In terms of seniority, Concubine Wang has to call the Emperor her cousin.

The rest are all ministers of the imperial court, but there are also two of lower rank, one is Lady Liu, and the other is Lady An. "

After Linlang inquired about the news, she also understood that the Concubine Shu should be the Imperial Concubine in the previous life. Although she didn't understand what grudges the young lady had with the other party, no matter what, the other party had harmed the young lady after all. She only hoped to avoid them in this life. Even if the young lady was not favored, she only hoped to stay away from them.

The selected beauties did not enter the palace together, but in batches. First came two noble ladies, and the rest were some beauties and talented ladies.

The first one to be favored was also a noble lady, but the most favored one should be Noble Lady Wang, followed by Noble Lady Zhao. The rest of the beauties entered the palace one after another and were also favored one after another, until the young lady also entered the palace.

Linlang did not go to recognize them at this time, because she knew that these young ladies who had just attacked were being watched by others. If she went to recognize them, she would probably go to hell, so she had to wait.

The harem system is strictly hierarchical, and each concubine has her own position.

The eighth rank talent and the seventh rank beauty

Sixth Rank Noble

Five-grade recharge

Fourth Rank Concubine

Third-rank concubine
Second rank concubine
First-rank imperial concubine

Super Queen
The two previous noble ladies were both given the title of Chongrong after becoming favored, and the most favored one, Wang Chongrong, was given the title of "Yu".

Although Zhao Chongrong did not have a title, her father was a close minister and her family background and status should not be underestimated.

Other new ladies who entered the palace also became favored one after another and were promoted one level after another. Concubine Liu became Noble Lady Liu.

Just one month had passed, and except for Concubine Shu who was still favored, the favor of the other elderly people in the palace was becoming less and less. It really was true that you only see the laughter of the new people, but don't hear the crying of the old ones.

Concubine Zhao was better off because she was a princess, so she could see the emperor often. This was also the reason why the concubines in the harem wanted to give birth to a prince.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Except for the first time when they were favored, most of the other concubines who had just entered the palace became background boards. Some unfavored concubines were even directly criticized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Sister, the people in the Imperial Household Department are really too much. The weather is getting colder, and the palace maids around me just went to get some charcoal, but those people in the Imperial Household Department kept making excuses. However, when the people around Yu Chongrong went to get something, not only were they given enough, but they even had some extra. This is really too much." Concubine Zhao shed tears.

Lady Liu put down the handkerchief in her hand. "It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Sister, don't be sad. My maid just brought back some charcoal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs a while ago. You can take some back later. Don't freeze yourself. It's bitterly cold in the palace. If you catch a cold because of this little thing, it will be a loss."

Lady Zhao was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She held Lady Liu's hand tightly and said, "Sister, we are not favored. You are a noble lady. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not blame you, the things they give you are definitely not enough. How can I share your things?

These damned slaves are so bold. If they really push me to the limit, I will cry to your queen. Although I am not favored, I am still the emperor's concubine. How can I let these stewed dishes climb over my head? "

Lady Liu was shocked. "My dear sister, you have to remember that the King of Hell has several difficult little devils. If you offend them, your future life will probably be difficult. Anyway, I brought some private money when I entered the palace. At worst, I can just buy some from somewhere else.

We still have a long time to live in the palace, there is no need to haggle with them over such a small matter."

Lady Zhao nodded reluctantly and sat on the chair beside her, but she couldn't stop sulking in her heart, "Sister, I haven't seen the emperor for a long time. No wonder the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are getting more and more arrogant. If this continues, my palace will really become a cold palace. No, I have to find a way to win his favor, but I don't have any connections. Do you think I should turn to the queen..."
