Chapter 552: See the servants of the palace
Chapter 552 Meet the servants of the palace
"Your Majesty pays homage to His Royal Highness King Pingning, Princess Pingning."
Chu Nanzhi was still thinking, when he saw a burly middle-aged man leading a group of soldiers in armor to bow their heads first.
Yin Liuxuan deliberately sized up the middle-aged man who was approaching before him, and then corrected his posture, and said seriously: "Return to Your Highness and Princess, this is the imperial court specially sent to the palace to handle the internal affairs of the palace for His Highness, and to assist the court in managing the royal family Master Song Liao Song, the long history of clan affairs."
Yin Erlang wouldn't talk like this on weekdays, Chu Nanzhi immediately understood from his eyes that this person was sent to monitor the couple.
The affairs of the royal residence are handled by Yin Liuxuan, the young man, and the rest of you are in charge, so there is no need for a long history.
Fortunately, she has been familiar with the history of various dynasties. She is very clear about the responsibilities of the chief official of the palace. She ranks first among the officials of the palace. The vassal king regularly reports the deeds of the vassal king to the court.
Chu Nanzhi smiled slightly at the solemn Song Liao, and said earnestly: "In the future, Lord Lao Song will have to worry about the palace."
"Princess, you are being polite. This is the duty of the next official."
Song Liao replied neither humble nor overbearing.
My heart is full of bitterness.
Although Shi, the head of the palace, is a fifth-rank court official and has the big tree of vassal kings to rely on, he is the most troublesome.
If you can't do well, there are two things that are not good.
Being forced in by the queen mother and her family members, he had already expected that his official career would come to an end.
It is a great fortune to only hope that I can survive until retirement in peace.
Pointing to the soldiers and minor officials behind him, Song Liao introduced with a smile: "The six first-class guards, six second-class guards, and eight third-class guards behind the official are all sent by His Majesty to protect the palace. .”
After Lin Jinxiao listened, he nodded at Yin Liuxuan with a half-smile: "Let Captain Chen arrange everything."
The personal guards of the palace were all promoted from the coastal defense battalion according to the order of the imperial court, and more than ten high-level guards were placed in. This intention could not be more clear.
But since he entered the palace, he has a lot of ways to divide and conquer them.
Song Liao was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't say much.
Afterwards, he introduced the rest of the officials behind him one by one. Among these people, there were four, five, and six ranks in charge of supervising the ceremonies and rituals of the royal palace, two each, two chief shepherds, and one catering official.
In addition, there are more than 30 small officials in charge of the palace manor, affairs office, attendant office, secretary and ancestral hall.
Finally, there are hundreds of handymen in the kitchen, tea room, garden warm cellar, dressing room, stall room, writing room, ceremonial room, and large and small study rooms.
After seeing the small officials and handymen in the outer court, another old man in a blue silk shirt came forward and bowed to pay homage: "My maidservant, Hai Da, the head of the Guanfang courtyard, pays homage to King Pingning and Princess Pingning."
Hearing the name of Guanfangyuan, Chu Nanzhi felt goosebumps in his heart, looking at the pale and clean old man and the group of "men" who followed him with clean and flawless cheeks and not even a trace of stubble, he couldn't stop Excited, I really want to blurt out the words hidden in my heart: take off your pants and let Ben Gong take a look.
Thoughts flashed by, she pretended to be affectionate and replied: "Eunuch Hai, don't be too polite."
Admonishing according to Song Liao's words: "In the future, the internal affairs of the palace will have to rely on Eunuch Hai."
"The concubine is polite, this is the duty of a servant. I am afraid that the servant will not be able to serve His Royal Highness and serve the princess and princesses well, which will chill the Empress Dowager's heart."
The last few words deliberately emphasized the tone.
Chu Nanzhi nodded with a deep smile.
Immediately understood that he was the servant of the Empress Dowager.
"Eunuch Hai was joking."
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hai is an old man in the palace, and he will be more thoughtful than this palace and His Highness when he thinks about everything. I can rest assured that Eunuch Hai will take care of the inner courtyard of the palace for me. .”
"Then I would like to thank the princess and Your Highness for their kindness."
Hai Da'a was full of joy when he heard this, and pointed to the servants behind him and introduced: "These are the empress dowagers who show compassion for His Highness and the princess, and also know that there are many small county kings and princesses in His Highness's mansion. Hundreds of eunuchs, eunuchs and maids came to serve."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the group of eunuchs, old and young, women and children behind him, and said with a smile: "Since you have come to the palace, the Pingning Palace will be your home from now on, I don't often stay here , Eunuch Hai’s words are the words of my palace, if there is any violation of this palace, I will never forgive you lightly.”
One sentence moved Haida so much that he didn't know what to say.
The people sent by Song Changshi were settled down by King Pingning with a few words, but the concubine of the group under him was still at ease and let him manage it. It seems that the empress dowager's face is good.
Without waiting for the little eunuch, nuns, and maids to answer, Haida immediately promised in trepidation: "Princess, please rest assured, if there is anyone who is blind and dares to make His Highness and the concubine frown, the servants will definitely punish them severely."
When he was in the palace, this Eunuch Hai was a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager. Now that he has just arrived at King Pingning, he has gained the respect of the princess. The words of the father-in-law and the princess will definitely live up to the princess and the teachings of the empress dowager."
So both of them nodded in satisfaction.
Hai Da looked out of the palace, his thick gray eyebrows trembled uncontrollably with his eyes: "When I was in the palace, I often heard the Empress Dowager say that His Royal Highness and the princess had four children, why don't you see the little princess and the little princess?" Their figures? The old slave is eager to see through, and can't wait to meet the nobles for the empress dowager."
"Children love to play, and they all followed their grandparents and Chang Lao Nie to the back garden."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
The old **** said that he was the queen mother, which directly reduced the suspicion of him in his heart, and he was really good at making friends.
Although not all of the attendants selected by the Empress Dowager were loyal, they were all thoughtful.
From Yin Liuxuan, the steward of the palace, to the guards everywhere, to these nuns, maids, maids and eunuchs, she must be trustworthy.
The sisters Caiwei Cailian, even though they were a little cautious, they just wanted to do their duty, and they hurriedly climbed onto Lin Jinxiao's bed, but unexpectedly encountered such an iceberg that was not easy to get close to.
The Empress Dowager’s heart can’t be chilled either. Apart from superficial trust and closeness to these attendants, she can only secretly guard against them and slowly identify those who are trustworthy.
In the blink of an eye, she returned to Hai Da'a, and Chu Nanzhi asked earnestly: "The canonization ceremony will be held in a few days, and His Highness has to stay in the old house of the Lin family to recuperate for a few days. I also have some trivial matters to attend to. During this period of time, Eunuch Lao Hai will take care of the affairs of the palace, so nothing can go wrong before the sealing ceremony."
"Princess, don't worry, the slaves will definitely fulfill their duties and cooperate with Yin Shaofu and Song Changshi to handle the affairs of the palace."
Haida respectfully replied.
