first class maid

Chapter 8 The Root of the Disaster (2)
Xun Zhen looked at Yu Ruyi in bewilderment, what was he doing with her brother?Her elder brother is a martial arts prodigy, but he doesn't know what went wrong when he was learning martial arts. As long as someone practiced fighting with him, he would be insane, and the person who accompanied him would either die or be injured. Could it be——

Yu Ruyi's face suddenly looked into the distance through her: "My brother was the beating target of Xun Ying, the eldest son of Xun Ying, and your brother beat my brother to death."

The little face facing her was full of accusations, she remembered, why is Yu Ruyi so familiar?That was two years ago. Her brother had another attack and beat him to death. When the family came to take away the body of the deceased, she saw a little girl about her age lying on the body of the deceased and weeping bitterly. , why do you remember her?Because she was the only one who cried bitterly at that time, the middle-aged couple who came to collect the corpse and the compensation were all smiling.

"Because your elder brother beat my elder brother to death, I was sent into the palace by the snobbish aunt and uncle to be a palace maid." Yu Ruyi's eyes glistened with tears, and her elder brother went to be the son of Xun's eldest son to accompany her. Before the fight, he made an agreement with her to make a lot of money, and then took her away from his aunt's family. The brother and sister depended on each other for life.

"My brother was also punished for this." Xun Zhen said a little dryly. She did not expect to have such a relationship with Yu Ruyi. Because of that incident, her brother was punished to face the wall and think about it for three months.

"Funny, can your brother's punishment be exchanged for my brother's life? Don't pretend to be a good person there." Yu Ruyi sneered a few times in disdain, turned and left, and sniffed hard. From that day on, she remembered It was only because of the looks of the Xun family that she recognized Xun Zhen at a glance yesterday, so she stood in front of her to get close to her while people were not paying attention, and then seized the opportunity to frame her, but she didn't expect her to be so A lucky escape.

Xun Zhen froze on the spot, her brother didn't intend to kill anyone, her eyes were filled with tears, until she became a lower-class court lady, then she realized that human life is worthless, just like she was there His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes are average, even if this is the case, it does not mean that Yu Ruyi can insult her family at will.

"Bang, bang, bang" came the sound of assembly in the distance, and then she remembered what Wang Nvshi had ordered this morning, and she picked up her skirt and rushed forward.

After eating breakfast in the dining room, I rushed to the Shang Palace Bureau to listen to the training again. Xun Zhen and others walked along the wall, only two eyes quietly looked at the palace lady's residence, it was just like yesterday What you see is not very eye-catching, there is only the word "Yeting" at the door, and going forward is not the road that Winnie took her through yesterday, but a path that diverges to the side, where gradually there are red walls and green tiles. The buildings, against the background of the dark green trees in late summer, are quite pleasing to the eye. I heard the princess Shi in front of me proudly pointing at those buildings to show off under the questioning of the little maid.

"Of course, this place is much more spacious and gorgeous than Ye Ting's. This is the place where high-ranking female officials in the palace live." Looking back at them, they smiled strangely, "But if some of you have no qualifications, then this is what you think. Don't think about it, just stay in Yeting for the rest of your life." Then he turned his head and led them to the main hall beside him.

A large group of little court ladies all opened their eyes and whispered a few words, and filed into the spacious hall, but Xun Zhen looked at this rather spacious palace with his eyes, and he could see the simple but still beautiful palace when he looked up. Solemn cards, written: Shang Gong Ju.

There are not many gorgeous decorations in this hall, it just looks clean and tidy. There are six mahogany flower-shaped relief chairs on the slightly higher steps in front. This place is extremely empty on weekdays, but today it is full of little palace ladies. , it seems quite crowded, except that the path leading to the top six chairs is still open.

The little maids stood quietly under the glance of the stern female secretary, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the main hall, and soon there was the rustling of skirts, and it seemed that there were quite a few people coming in.

Xun Zhen stretched his neck and saw that the faces of the six women in the front row were quite dignified, and they walked in with lotus steps, followed by a large group of people in the same clothes, the difference was only in the color. The clothes are embroidered with different delicate patterns in different shades.

One of them, she is very familiar with, is Xu Youshanggong who helped her last night. She looks quite beautiful in the daytime. If the expression on her face is a little looser, she will be more friendly.

After the six leading women sat down on the six big chairs, the little maids bowed their heads and saluted under the leadership of their respective female historians. After the salutes, a man in green stepped forward to open the scroll and preached the history of the Huaguo Palace. system.

The palace ladies of the Huaguo Palace are divided into six bureaus and 24 divisions, namely Shanggong Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangbei Bureau, and Shanggong Bureau. Each bureau is divided into 24 divisions, each with different functions.

Among them: Shang-level court ladies, fifth rank.

Secretary-level court lady, the sixth rank.

Classic-level court lady, seventh rank.

The palm-level maid, is the eighth rank.

The six bureaus are equal in status, but because the Shanggong bureau is in charge of the functions of palace maid allocation, registration, rewards and punishments, it is faintly higher than the other five bureaus.

After the female official who preached the court system finished speaking, she bowed to the woman in dark green clothes with peony flowers embroidered on it, and said, "Master Situ Shanggong, the court system has been preached."

This woman, known as Situ Shanggong, is about the same age as Xu You, with a pair of narrow, long and seductive eyes on her slightly pointed face, and her extremely thin red lips seem rather ruthless. At this time, she stood up majesticly, "Go in!" To win the royal family, you have to remember that you are a maid in the palace, in addition to obeying the court regulations, you must also be familiar with the rules of the court ladies."

Some little maids secretly couldn't take it anymore, just finished listening to the lengthy court system, and now they want to talk about the rules of the court lady?

"Please bring out the calligraphy of Empress Yuansheng." Situ Shanggong shouted respectfully.

Xun Zhen was very curious, didn't he talk about the rules of court ladies?What are you doing with the calligraphy of the founding queen?
Empress Yuansheng is the first mother of the Hua Kingdom. According to historical records, she accompanied the Taizu to fight the world. She is a rare and virtuous empress. things.
