Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 176 Chang Zai's Promotion 6

After Jihuan returned, he resumed his usual study routine.

On the other hand, Li Yu also found out about Ji Huan's situation. Of course, what he found out were all prepared by her in advance. There was nothing he could do about it, since she knew it in advance!

When Ji Huan realized that someone was asking about it, he curled his lips and smiled, and his entry into the palace was secured.

You will ask only if you are interested, otherwise, why ask?

Then Jihuan never left the house again. It was enough to do that once. Too much is as bad as too little.

In the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign, in April, the weather was still chilly, and the triennial beauty contest began.

The acne on Liu's face had been cured, but the acne marks remained. Long-term irritability made her face become much harsher, so Mu Ling naturally paid less attention to her.

Ji Huan added some things to her, guaranteeing that within three years, she would no longer want to see anyone and her temper would become increasingly violent. By then, she would have nothing to do with Ji Huan anymore.

Aunt Wang continued to drum up support, guaranteeing that Liu would be alienated from her children and deserted by her relatives and friends in the future.

How could the two children who were spoiled by her tolerate a mother who was always on the verge of anger?

Even the children couldn't stand it, let alone Mu Ling, an egoist with little conscience.

As for why Liu was still kept, it was naturally to create some trouble for her good father. If Liu died, Mu Ling would not take care of her, so he would just live with such a hot-tempered woman like Liu!

At present, Mu Ling is still useful, but thinking of the neglected memories of the original owner, Mu Ling’s responsibility cannot be shirked. Let him and Liu "torture" each other!

Then a voice said: "Guaerjia Jihuan, the daughter of Guaerjia Muling, the head of the Ministry of Rites, left a name card and gave her a sachet!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

The Queen Mother did not come to the beauty pageant. Instead, the Emperor and Empress Fucha sat at the top.

After walking out of the Forbidden City, Ji Huan felt that everything had settled. She had been very busy in the past two years for one thing.

They took a carriage and helped their father and mother, who were kneeling on the ground in front of the mansion, back to the courtyard where she had lived for a long time. It would be difficult for them to return to this place again.

She looked at Nanny Yu and said, "Thank you Nanny Yu for teaching me everything you know over the past two years."

What she taught her was not only the rules and some secret methods, but also the unspoken rules in the palace, the situation of some bannermen families, some taboos, and some secrets of the Yongzheng or Kangxi dynasties...

This opened Jihuan's eyes and he said he had learned a lot.

So it can really be said that he taught everyone he knew.

Ji Huan made arrangements for Nanny Yu. The next day, someone from the palace came to read the imperial edict. As expected, she entered the palace. Her initial title was Changzai, a position that was very suitable for her family background. As for the title, she did not have one.

Qianlong naturally did not forget Jihuan, but he left all the affairs of the harem to the empress. He had a good impression of Jihuan, but not so good as to slap the empress in the face for her.

As for position and title, it is easy to get promoted after entering the palace.

A month later, Jihuan, Shuxiang and Hongxiu followed the people from the palace and got on the sedan chair to enter the palace.

The sedan stopped at Shunzhen Gate.

"My lord, we're here."

When Ji Huan got off the sedan chair, Shu Xiang gave him some silver as a reward: "Thank you for sending our young master off."

The eunuch took it with a smile: "You are welcome, young lady."

Then Jihuan was handed over to a young eunuch who served as a guide.

"I am the one who leads the way. Miss Guaerjia has been assigned to Xianfu Palace, which is not far from Shunzhen Gate. I will lead Miss there now."

Ji Huan said: "Thank you for leading the way, eunuch."

"My lord, you are so polite. Please follow me!"

During this period, Ji Huan had already found out that not many people entered the palace in this selection.

Balin of the Mongolian military flag was initially granted the title of noble lady and given the name Ying.

She is covered with military flags.

There were two Han army flags, one was promised to Wang and the other was Changzai Li. Their fathers were not officials in the capital and both had outstanding looks.

In fact, Qianlong granted most of the beauties selected in the beauty pageant to members of the royal family. Many of those who were able to rise to prominence in his harem were of bondservant origin, while more were selected from younger generations to serve in the palace.

Perhaps this has something to do with his hobbies. The girls selected in the beauty pageant were between thirteen and seventeen years old, and Qianlong was a man who liked mature women.

Those who were born as bondservants could wait until they were of the right age to appear in front of him, but those concubines, who were not from noble families, would be considered the least punished if they lost their spirit after waiting for a few years even if they entered the palace.

In serious cases, the life may be lost. The food, clothing and other expenses of the palace come from the Imperial Household Department, which is controlled by the bondservants. If a newcomer to the palace has outstanding talents, they may survive for a year or two, or die of depression or a cold. This is all normal.

They soon arrived at Xianfu Palace. Jihuan frowned when she heard the eunuch who led the way say that there was no queen in Xianfu Palace. For a concubine who was selected to enter the palace, being assigned to a palace without a queen was not a good thing.

This means that if one is not favored for a while, one may be directly criticized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at any time, or even disappear. It is better to have a queen around. Even if the queen has a bad temper, there is someone responsible if anything goes wrong.

She was not afraid of not being able to see the emperor, it seemed that she was being targeted.

It seems that her face is quite lethal.

"We're here. This is the East Side Hall where the young master lives."

At this time, the palace maids from the East Side Hall also came to her and bowed: "Greetings, young lady. Long live the young lady."

"You all get up."

"Hongxiu, look at the reward."

Hongxiu began to reward the palace maids.

The eunuch who led the way said, "My lady has arrived. I will not disturb you to rest. I will take my leave."

Ji Huan: "Shuxiang, please see the father-in-law off. Don't forget to thank him."

Shuxiang, who was standing by, immediately took out some silver and gave it to the eunuch who was leading the way. She had no other choice. She had just arrived and needed the money. Although these eunuchs who were leading the way seemed inconspicuous, they were the best at spreading information and were the most well-informed.

I don't expect to bribe them, but in the future I can use money to buy some information or do some favors for them, which won't be slow.

After the reward was over, Ji Huan entered the house.

She sat at the top, looking at everyone, two palace maids, two eunuchs, plus Shuxiang and Hongxiu whom she brought into the palace, she had a total of six palace servants.

"What's your name? How old are you? What can you do? Where did you work?"

The four people began to introduce themselves, and the first to speak was the palace maid on Jihuan's far right.

"My name is Qingyin, I'm twenty years old, I can comb hair, do needlework, cook, and make tea. I used to work in Shoukang Palace and served the late emperor's noble lady An."

Next came the one next to her.

"My name is Qingqin, I am fourteen years old, I know some martial arts, I am quite strong, I can make tea, and I learned the rules in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Then came the two eunuchs.

"My servant Li Hu is eighteen years old. He is very good at dealing with people and can run fast. He used to work in the Imperial Garden."

"My name is Zhao Lu, I am sixteen, I have a good memory, I can remember roughly what others say, I used to work in Yanchun Pavilion."

Ji Huan nodded and said calmly: "I am always generous to my own people. If you are loyal, I will not treat you unfairly. If you have any difficulties, I will try my best to help you solve them as long as you ask. But if you are not loyal, I will not be soft-hearted.

I have two senior palace maids with me, led by Qingyin and Shuxiang. You two will take turns to go out with me in the future, while Hongxiu will take Qingqin to do the work.

It is inevitable that Li Hu will have more work to do in running errands, so I will give you an extra half month's reward every month. If you can find out useful information, you will also be rewarded. Zhao Lu will stay by my side and serve me.

If you do well, you will be rewarded handsomely. If you do not do well, I do not mind sending you back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do you understand?"

"The servant understands."

"The slave understands."

"That's good to know. Qingyin and Shuxiang will stay here. Hongxiu, you go and take them to help me sort out the luggage I brought from outside the palace."

"Yes, my lord."

Those who should leave should leave, and those who should stay should stay.
