Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 97 Transformation
Longevity is finally over.

The atmosphere in the whole Yunyuefang became very strange.

As soon as Ding Jiayi went out, he found that no matter whether it was the maids or dancers, the way they looked at her had changed.

Some of these gazes were in awe and flattery, and some were contemptuous, but in Ding Jiayi's eyes, they were all the same.

She took Wu Mingxi out the door because the master of the workshop summoned her.

In the palace where the master of the workshop lived, many maids came in and out. Everyone lowered their heads and held a lot of things in their hands.

When Ding Jiayi stepped into the hall, he happened to see Ling Xiao talking to an old eunuch.

Looking at the old eunuch, Ding Jiayi felt familiar.

At this time, Ling Xiao had already seen her and waved at her.

"At this moment, Eunuch Wan is beside His Majesty."

Ding Jiayi immediately saluted the old eunuch, and said respectfully, "Jiayi has met Eunuch Wan."

Mr. Wan looked about 50 years old, his fair face was full of wrinkles, but he was very kind when he laughed, just like Maitreya Buddha.

But Ding Jiayi doesn't really think that Eunuch Wan is as kind as he appears on the surface.

Being able to serve the emperor, and still being favored for more than ten years, this old eunuch is not easy.

Therefore, Ding Jiayi put her posture extremely low, without showing the slightest pride or anything else.

Eunuch Wan looked her up and down, seemed to be satisfied with her attitude, nodded slightly, and said.

"Our family is ordered to send the imperial gifts. Since the things have been delivered, it is time for our family to return."

"Why don't you sit down for a while, Mr. Wan? Speaking of which, you haven't been to Yunyuefang for a long time, and the jar of Longjing before the rain is still reserved for you!"

Ling Xiao said with a smile, showing his intention to stay.

Eunuch Wan narrowed his small eyes slightly, chuckled a few times, and lightly swept the whisk on his arm.

"The owner of the workshop is interested. We are busy today, so we will not stay at home. We will come to have a good taste with the owner of the workshop another day."

After all, Eunuch Wan didn't stay any longer, and left Yunyuefang with a group of young eunuchs and court ladies.

Ling Xiao took Ding Jiayi to the door, and turned back until he could no longer see Eunuch Wan in sight.

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xiao couldn't help coughing a few times, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

Ding Jiayi hastily stretched out his hand to support her, and couldn't help but feel surprised. The owner of the workshop asked him to come here just to see this Eunuch Wan?
Supporting Ling Xiao to sit down, Ding Jiayi stood aside with his head bowed.

"What happened yesterday, I want to know how much you really know."

Suddenly, Ling Xiao spoke, his voice was soft, but there was no doubt about it.

Ding Jiayi's heart shuddered, and he didn't speak immediately.

Master, what does this mean?Could it be that he doubted himself?

Turning his mind, Ding Jiayi respectfully said: "I don't know what the master said, Jiayi doesn't know."

Ling Xiao's sharp eyes immediately shot at her, like two knives cutting her body.

"You have a calm temper. No wonder Wenyan has taken a fancy to you. It's a pity that you are such a smart person. If you follow her this way, you will definitely die."

Ling Xiao said coldly, waved his right hand, not knowing whether it was anger or anger.

Ding Jiayi was even more vigilant in her heart, but still did not explain. If she opened her mouth to explain at this time, no matter what she said would be wrong, it would be better to remain silent.

"Don't think that I don't know what Wen Yan did. In this Yunyue Square, no one can hide it from my eyes. Do you know what she is planning to take you to see the Leng Gong?"

When these words came out, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but raised his head, his eyes were full of strangeness and surprise.

Seeing that she finally had a reaction, Ling Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.

"Don't be surprised, many people guessed who the person behind you was when you sang and danced yesterday." Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, "The master also worked in Yunyuefang, and I was just a Ordinary palace maids have also been with her for a while. Naturally know her, don't think that you quietly leave Yunyuefang every night and go to the cold palace without anyone knowing, in fact, I don't know how many people have fallen into the eyes."

When Ling Xiao said this, Ding Jiayi's heart jumped suddenly.

"Fangzhu, I don't know what Wenyan's manager wants to do. I just learn from Xuezui." Ding Jiayi explained.

Ling Xiao looked at her. Although Ding Jiayi said it very sincerely, her eyes were still suspicious and mocking.

"Who do you think would believe this?"

After a pause, without waiting for Ding Jiayi to answer, she said again: "Do you know how many people came to Yunyuefang to check for news this morning? They only asked one person. What is your relationship with that person?!"

Ding Jiayi didn't know about this, so she didn't say any more, because she obviously felt that Ling Xiao's breath was unstable, and she seemed to be extremely irritable.

Staring at Ding Jiayi for a long time, Ling Xiao finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes darkened.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

After a long time, Ling Xiao came back to his senses, and said lightly: "Yesterday, His Majesty has decreed to promote you as a sixth-rank female official, and today you will move out of Wenyan's residence. I have already packed up a new side hall for you, right here Next to the main hall, go back and pack your things later!"

Ding Jiayi knew that Ling Xiao wanted to separate herself from Wen Yan.

She can understand this, but what Ding Jiayi can't understand is why Ling Xiao didn't continue to ask about her coma yesterday.

After thinking about it, Ding Jiayi suddenly thought that maybe Ling Xiao already knew who did it, and he just stood still for the time being.

Ding Jiayi didn't want to get involved in the struggle of these female officials, so he stopped interjecting and changed the subject instead.

"Fangzhu, I have something to ask. Wu Mingxi, who lives in the same room as me, can let her move out with me?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Ding Jiayi, and a light flashed in his eyes, which was so fast that it was impossible to catch.

"It's not a big deal. As a sixth-rank female official, you can have two low-ranking maids by your side. You can choose these two by yourself."

After receiving Ling Xiao's affirmative answer, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but feel happy.

She doesn't care about other things, but this is what Ding Jiayi cares most about.

Seeing that the owner of the shop was really tired, Ding Jiayi stopped staying for a long time and left quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, Ding Jiayi saw Wu Mingxi standing under the corridor, looking embarrassed.

Ding Jiayi walked over, and Wu Mingxi hurriedly pulled her sleeve and asked, "What is the owner looking for you for? Could it be to ask you to be held accountable?"

Ding Jiayi reached out and patted Wu Mingxi's head, and smiled slightly: "No, the master just reminded me a few words, so that I can do things well in the future, and don't disappoint His Majesty's love."

After a pause, Ding Jiayi said again: "The owner of the workshop has already agreed to let you stay by my side."

"Really?" Wu Mingxi's eyes lit up, obviously really happy.

Ding Jiayi also rolled his eyes, and took her hand and walked out of the hall.

"Let's go back and pack our things!"

The news that Ding Jiayi was promoted to a sixth-rank female official and was about to move into a new residence quickly spread throughout Yunyuefang like a whirlwind.

Yunyuefang is not under the direct jurisdiction of the harem, and the female officials are of the sixth rank besides the owner's third rank.The others are all low-ranking female officials of the seventh and eighth rank, who are actually equivalent to court ladies.

Originally, there were six stewards in Yunyuefang, but Ding Jiayi was suddenly added, which immediately became a threat to these stewards.

In particular, Ding Jiayi has shown his face in front of His Majesty.

Except for Wen Yan, several other female officials quickly got together and discussed something quietly.

But for some other singers and dancers, Ding Jiayi has become a favorite.

Everyone knows that there will be two maids accompanying the sixth-rank female official, both of whom are eighth-rank court ladies. Although the rank is not high, they are better than nothing.

This is a good choice for those dancers who have little hope of getting ahead.

After all, there are a lot of people in Yunyuefang, but less than one percent of them are really famous and sought after.The rest of the unnamed dancers will leave Yunyuefang once the deadline is up, and they don't know anything except singing and dancing, and they can't find a suitable husband's family, so most of them end badly.

Compared to this, it's better to stay in the palace, even if it's just being a court lady, it's better than going outside.At least the court ladies still have the chance to be promoted to female officials.

Moreover, if you stay in the palace, you might meet some dignitaries in the future!

There have been a few times when ministers took a fancy to a certain court lady and asked the emperor for money. These anecdotes in the inner palace always gave these dancers a little bit of hope.
