Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 136
Growing up in the palace since he was a child, Ba Ye has more or less seen the methods used by the concubines in the harem to compete for power and jealousy.Most of the concubines would regard the matter of serving illness as a means of fighting for favor.There are not many people who really serve the sick.

He still remembered that the empress dowager was ill one year, and the concubines of high rank took the initiative to attend to the empress dowager without empress ama asking.Even if there is no grade, it is also copying scriptures and chanting Buddha.It seems that if you don't do this, you can't express your filial piety to the empress dowager.

But when he followed Huang Ama to visit the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion, he found that the concubine's eyes were rolling around Huang Ama's body, and it took a while for the Empress Dowager to react to her cough.

At that time, he saw a sneer at the corner of Huang Ama's mouth.Probably disgusted by this poor acting.

Afterwards, he never saw the concubine's sickness again.This is probably a failed case of using sickness to compete for favor.

But he has also seen the concubine who was favored by Huang Ama because she waited on the empress dowager in front of her bed.

Therefore, whether it is true or false, it is not so easy to fool.Even if it's acting, if you don't act seriously, you won't be able to deceive people.

And what kind of behavior is Mao Tongtong doing now?Sincerity or acting?
Ba Ye still prefers Mao Tongtong's sincerity in his heart.With this kind of bias, he felt more fond of Mao Tongtong in his heart.

Chen Guo saw Ba Ye standing still for a long time, thinking that Mao Tongtong was not there, Ba Ye would probably return to the front yard.But thinking that there was still Wang Gege living in this courtyard, he tentatively asked, "Where will master rest tonight?"

"Let's rest here." Eighth Master said.It was windy and rainy, and he didn't want to go back to the front yard.

Chen Guo was stunned for a moment.Qingmei was also taken aback, but she quickly came to her senses and hurried over to help Ba Ye change his clothes.

Ba Ye smelled the alcohol on his body and said, "Go and prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

"Yes." Qingmei responded quickly, and went out to order someone to fetch hot water.

When the hot water was ready, Qing Mei waited for Ba Ye to take a bath again.

In the past, when Mao Tongtong was around, Ba Ye would most likely ask Mao Tongtong to serve him in the bath, or the green bamboo.This is Qingmei's first time serving Ba Ye in the bath.

Seeing Ba Ye take off his clothes in front of her, she lowered her head subconsciously.

Ba Ye didn't pay attention to his little movements.Lifting his feet and stepping into the bathtub, the whole person sat down and leaned against the bathtub with squinted eyes.

Running around these days, following Jin Fu to calculate various data and calculate the feasibility, it is really tiring.Today in the morning court, I helped Jin Fu speak again, arguing with a few old antiques who disagreed with the construction of the sluice, and it took a lot of energy.Plus the matter of my mother.It's not easy for him to come down all day.This will make you want to take a bath, but also want to relieve fatigue.

Qing Mei wiped her body for Ba Ye with a blushing face, not daring to let out a breath.

"Master, this servant is going to heat the water." After a long while, Qingmei said softly.

But Ba Ye didn't respond, but snored slightly, and fell asleep.

Seeing Ba Ye's handsome sleeping face, Qing Mei subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

I have been working in the palace for several years, and I have met several elder brothers, but my master is the most gentle and handsome.

As a slave, she doesn't have many chances to look at Ba Ye carefully.Today is a rare opportunity.

After filling the tub with hot water, Qing Mei crouched beside her and began to size up Master Ba.There was a bit of appreciation in that gaze, but also a bit of longing.

Both are in their teens, with beauty in front of them, it's hard not to be in love.Qingmei looked at it, her face became hot.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which startled Qingmei to stand up abruptly.

"Miss Qingmei, I brought the master's clothes." It was Chen Guo's voice.

Qing Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried over to open the door.

"Master, isn't he alright?" Chen Guo glanced inside and asked.

"Fall asleep." Qing Mei whispered.

Seeing her blushing face, Chen Guo felt suspicious, and saw that Ba Ye was indeed lying in the bathtub, so she said, "If you sleep like this, you will catch a cold, tell the master to get up and go back to the bedroom to sleep."

"I, I see that the master is quite tired, and I can't bear to scream. I just added hot water to the tub, so it won't be cold for a while." Qing Mei couldn't help but feel shy as she spoke.

"That has to be called." Chen Guo's voice suddenly became a little colder, and said: "It's rare that Mao Gege specially sent a cloak to Si Ye today, just because he was afraid that the master would catch a cold. Don't catch cold on the way, but came back to catch cold , I’m not good at explaining to Mo Gege.”

Hearing this, Qingmei was shocked immediately.Seeing that Chen Guo was still staring at her, she quickly looked away and said, "Okay, I'll wake up Master right now."

Chen Guo took a few steps back and closed the door smoothly.

Qingmei's face was a little pale, she was a little flustered, and a little ashamed.But looking at Ba Ye in the bathtub again, and thinking about the many maidservants next to the master, he struggled a little bit.In the end, she still walked to the tub and called softly: "Master, wake up, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Hmm." Ba Ye replied in a daze, with a rare lazy voice.

"My lord, let me help you get dressed, so you don't catch a cold." Qingmei said again.

Only then did Ba Ye open his eyes, glanced at Qingmei, and then slowly came back to his senses, and with a reply, he stood up from the bathtub.

Only then did Qingmei dry him off and dress him.During the process, her hands trembled unavoidably, and her face became hot.

Eighth Master took a nap and his spirit improved a lot.Seeing Qingmei's appearance, she frowned slightly.

"Your name is Qingmei?" Eighth Master said.

"Ah, yes, the maidservant's name is Qingmei." After Qingmei was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.The master remembers her name!
"How old is this year?" Eighth Master asked again.

"My maidservant is seventeen this year." Qingmei lowered her eyes, looking shy.

"How many years have you been in the palace?" Ba Ye seemed to chuckle.

Qingmei's head drooped even lower, "The servant entered the palace at the age of 13, and it has been four years."

Coated minions like them can only participate in the annual election.After entering the palace, you can only start as a court lady, not like Mao Tongtong and the others who can directly become the women of the emperor, prince, or clan.

But in a sense, they are also the emperor's women.Once you are favored, you can also stand out.

The most successful example in the palace is the current Concubine De.From a little court lady to one of the four concubines today, she also gave birth to two sons, she is really favored.

Thinking of this, Qingmei couldn't help feeling hot.Master asked her these words, did it make any difference to her?

"Four years is not too short." Ba Ye said and glanced at Qing Mei again.

Wearing an ordinary court lady's attire, she stood in front of him with her head bowed.He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see his cheeks getting redder and redder.
