Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

The Laundry Bureau.

The palace maids were still squatting by the ditch, diligently washing clothes.

The only difference was the addition of a palace maid sitting on a small stool, dozing off.

This palace maid was none other than Su Lian.

Now that she was a supervisor, she naturally didn't need to participate in the laundry work; she only needed to carry a small stool and sit beside it.

But this job was naturally very boring, and Su Lian couldn't help but doze off during work after only a few days.

Looking at Su Lian's appearance, the group of palace maids were both envious and jealous.

They couldn't help but discuss in low voices:

"Look at this Su Lian, ever since she became the favorite of the matron, she's been living such a carefree life."

"I really don't know where her luck came from, that she would suddenly be valued by the matron; I still haven't been able to find out the reason."

"Humph! With her personality, even if she becomes the matron's favorite for a while, it won't last long."

"That's right, the Imperial Palace isn't such an easy place to stay. Just wait and see her make a mistake; she'll have something to cry about then."

… …

In the hearts of the palace maids, it was inevitable that they were filled with dissatisfaction.

As laundry maids, they were more diligent than Su Lian and more knowledgeable about the rules than Su Lian, so why hadn't they been able to enjoy Su Lian's treatment?

Especially the most dissatisfied of them all, was a palace maid with a melon-seed face.

Last time, because she plotted to frame Su Lian, she ended up losing more than she gained, and she was slapped into a pig's head by the matron.

Now, with the scars healed, she forgot the pain, and the melon-seed face palace maid's bad intentions resurfaced.

Especially when she saw Su Lian's terrible appearance of drooling while dozing off, with bubbles coming out of her nose, she hated her even more:

"Little hussy, just you wait!"

"Sooner or later, I will find a chance to let you taste bitterness too!"

The melon-seed face palace maid didn't dare to hold a grudge against the matron, so Su Lian became her best target for resentment.

At this moment.

A figure walked over.

It was the matron of the group, Guo Min.

But when her gaze fell on Su Lian, who was dozing off, she couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

The melon-seed face palace maid hurriedly got up to salute, ingratiatingly saying:

"Matron, I wonder what instructions you have this time?"

"Just say the word, Matron, and I will definitely handle everything for you."

Ever since her face was swollen by Guo Min's slap last time, the melon-seed face palace maid not only didn't dare to hold a grudge, but instead became even more ingratiating towards Guo Min.

This made Guo Min couldn't help but think that this melon-seed face palace maid was truly convinced.

So Guo Min said:

"In a quarter of an hour, Chief Instructor Hu is coming over."

"Have everyone tidy up their appearance and demeanor, and don't lose composure in front of Chief Instructor Hu."

Speaking of this, Guo Min reached out and pointed to Su Lian, who was dozing off:

"And her, let her sleep a little longer, and remember to wake her up in advance."

Hearing this, the palace maids couldn't help but be taken aback.

Chief Instructor Hu was actually coming to their broken Laundry Bureau?

This was the first time ever!

You must know that Chief Instructor Hu is in charge of the entire Bureau of Palace Attendants, with a rank of 正五品 (zhèng wǔ pǐn, the fifth rank), and is in charge of the etiquette and daily life of the harem.

The official position is not very high, and the power is not very great.

But it is very special!

Because in addition to being responsible for etiquette and daily life, the Bureau of Palace Attendants also manages the palace banquets and even the emperor's visits to the concubines.

Because of this, the concubines in the harem will also maintain a good relationship with Chief Instructor Hu.

No one dares to underestimate Chief Instructor Hu's position in the harem.

"Matron, I understand, please rest assured."

The melon-seed face palace maid hurriedly assured after being surprised.

Guo Min nodded, then turned and left.

As soon as Guo Min left, the palace maids hurriedly began to tidy up their appearance and demeanor.

Everyone knew that Chief Instructor Hu was strict, and any palace maid who was found to be lacking in etiquette would inevitably be reprimanded by her, and even the concubines would be scolded by her.

This big shot had not yet appeared, but had already brought great psychological pressure to everyone.

When the palace maids had tidied up, a quarter of an hour was almost up.

Some palace maids saw that Su Lian was still dozing off, unaware of everything around her, and couldn't help but want to go up and remind her.

No one expected it.

The melon-seed face palace maid actually stopped the action of waking Su Lian.

The melon-seed face palace maid whispered with a face full of jealousy:

"Aren't you unable to stand this little hussy?"

"Now that Chief Instructor Hu is coming, if she sees this little hussy sleeping during work, what do you think will happen?"

When the palace maids heard this, their faces showed apprehension.

They didn't want to see Chief Instructor Hu fly into a rage.

But at the same time, they were unwilling to openly defy the melon-seed face palace maid.

Everyone knew that this melon-seed face palace maid was vicious, and once they offended her, they had to be wary of her schemes behind their backs at all times.

In the end, the palace maids chose to remain silent.

Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with them.

The matron had arranged for the melon-seed face palace maid to do this, and if something went wrong, she would only blame the melon-seed face palace maid.

And the melon-seed face palace maid had a sinister look on her face:

"That's right."

"I will repay any grudge, and those who don't want to provoke me should all keep quiet."

This time, she had to let this little hussy, Su Lian, see what the dangers of the palace were!

Even at the cost of being reprimanded by the matron, she would make Su Lian unable to recover completely.

Once Su Lian lost her manners in front of Chief Instructor Hu, she would no longer be able to become the matron's favorite!

At this moment.

A group of people walked over.

It was the Laundry Bureau's officials, both big and small.

And walking at the front was a female official.

The first impression this female official gave was refinement!

Her whole body, whether it was her makeup or her clothing, or even her every move, was so refined that one couldn't find any fault in it.

It's no wonder she was so refined, because she herself represented the training and supervision of the entire harem's appearance and demeanor.

She was very young, looking no more than twenty years old, but she was able to make Guo Min, who was in her thirties, follow closely behind.

Especially her awe-inspiring and serious aura, which made the group of Laundry Bureau officials behind her unable to lift their heads.

This female official was the number one person in the Bureau of Palace Attendants, Hu Rong.

Hu Rong strode over.

And the group of Laundry Bureau palace maids hurriedly saluted:

"Greetings, Chief Instructor Hu!"

Hu Rong nodded and was about to speak.

Suddenly.

A slight snoring sound rang out.

The palace maids' hearts tightened.

And that melon-seed face palace maid suppressed her laughter, she had been waiting for this moment.

Hu Rong turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

She happened to see Su Lian who was still dozing off.

At this moment, the hearts of the Laundry Bureau's officials, both big and small, instantly jumped into their throats.

And Guo Min, who was accompanying her, was first stunned, and then turned her head to glare fiercely at the melon-seed face palace maid.

She really didn't expect that she would be tricked by this melon-seed face palace maid.

This made Guo Min hate her so much that her teeth itched.

Hu Rong frowned and asked Guo Min in a deep voice:

"Guo Qian Shu, what's going on with this person?"

Guo Min hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to Chief Instructor, her name is Su Lian, and she is the most diligent palace maid in our Laundry Bureau."

"Because last night, she took the initiative to volunteer, working overtime to wash the clothes sent by the Jade Hibiscus Palace, and didn't sleep all night."

"So today she is exhausted, so we made an exception according to the special circumstances of the Laundry Bureau and let her rest for a while."

"Chief Instructor, I will go and wake her up to salute."

Hu Rong heard this, but did not delve into it, but instead had a thoughtful look on her face.

At this time, Guo Min had already hurriedly stepped forward to wake Su Lian.

Su Lian was still in a daze, not yet understanding what had happened.

Seeing that Guo Min was about to gloss over the matter for Su Lian, the melon-seed face palace maid immediately gritted her teeth and stood out, saying:

"Chief Instructor Hu, that Su Lian was just being lazy and sleeping during work!"

"She didn't at all — —"

Before the melon-seed face palace maid could finish speaking.

A stern shout suddenly rang out:

"Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, the person who shouted to stop her was not Guo Min.

But Hu Rong!
