To be honest, this group of palace maids is really difficult to deal with.

Since ancient times, the maids released from the palace were often unattractive, older, or even unattractive. It's not like the Daliang Palace had never released maids before. Well, how should I put it? Although some of them were unwanted after being released, most of them became concubines of wealthy merchants, and there were basically no maids who entered the homes of officials.

After all, wealthy businessmen can take concubines at will, and some people marry a palace maid just to show off. But for officials, there are too many things to consider when marrying a palace maid. Instead of taking the risk of taking an older palace maid as a concubine, it is better to buy one from outside. After all, taking a concubine is about marrying a beautiful woman.

However, this time His Majesty the Emperor was very generous. The oldest palace maid sent out was only eighteen years old. Although in this world, being unmarried at the age of eighteen is considered old, compared to the palace maids released in the past who were almost thirty years old, this group of palace maids, both in terms of appearance and age, can be regarded as a rare generosity of His Majesty the Emperor.

Even his sworn brothers thought that this was the emperor's gift, so whether they killed him or sent him back, it was just angry words for Lin Hai.

Moreover, Qinghe, which had experienced repeated ravages of war, was originally short of young women. It was better now. Lin Hai still remembered that when Qinghe was first established, a group of young people with boiling blood and not knowing how to vent their anger would treat Xue Tao as a dog... In short, it was very difficult to deal with.

"Speaking of which, could it be that the Emperor has some unspeakable secret that would have him sending out so many young palace maids..." Lin Hai thought maliciously. After all, the Emperor certainly wouldn't be short of women. The current Emperor of Daliang is in his prime, so logically he should have many children. However, Lin Hai has been in this world for many years, and the Emperor only has a son who's just over a year old. This doesn't make sense...

"If I let Mrs. Song Wu send a few servings of the Ten-Whipped Tonic Soup to the palace, I might be able to get quite a few rewards." As for how to deal with this group of people, Lin Hai's thoughts finally fell on this nonsensical idea. He then laughed, shook his head, and ignored it.

Although Lin Hai no longer cared, there is a saying that goes: "The people above just talk, and the people below run their legs off." Lin Hai's words "visit and exchange" almost cost Xue Tao's life.

Ling Yang put down the documents in his hand and was about to speak when Lin Hai slammed the mace on the table with force. There was a scary "bang" sound.

In the past, whenever Lin Hai did this, Ling Yang would retract his head, shut his mouth, and then obediently pick up the next document. Generally, he would not make any move until it was time for dinner.

But today is different, Ling Yang seems to have gained some courage.

Although his voice was still trembling when he spoke, he tried his best to express his meaning: "Principal, it seems that nothing has happened recently. How about giving me two days off?"

When Lin Hai heard this, he became even angrier and immediately picked up the mace and threw it at Ling Yang.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just know the uterine maids are leaving tomorrow, and you want to go pick someone first. Have you forgotten what I told you? You can't even wait this short time? Or have you already hooked up with someone and want to spend these few days together?"

"Principal, I just want one, forget about a threesome or anything like that." Ling Yang smiled awkwardly and respectfully placed the mace back next to Lin Hai's desk, then adjusted its position to ensure that Lin Hai could use it easily.

"Tell me, who do you like?" Lin Hai asked unhappily.

"I swear to God, Principal, I haven't even visited them. I'm just worried that I'll end up in a blind marriage, and you'll just point someone to me. What if I don't like them... Oh no, what if they don't like me? Wouldn't that be a waste of their time?" Lin Yang lowered his head and whispered.

"You are the Minister of Interior of Qinghe. By the time you can get married, we will have already conquered Cambodia. By then, you can even be the Prime Minister. Who wouldn't like you? I don't believe that all of Xia Junao's maids want to climb onto his bed." Lin Hai rolled his eyes at Ling Yang and sighed.

"Of course, I'm also worried about blind marriages, so my original plan was to assign ten to you. That way, there would definitely be one or two who would like you. After all, with your salary, you can afford to support them. Well, since you only want one... then go and see her. If the girl has no objection, I'll have Xue Tao keep her for you... Hey, where's she?"

As Lin Hai was talking, he realized that Ling Yang was gone.

Turning back, I found Ling Yang sitting at his desk, his head bent over a document, looking intently at it. It seemed he had never gotten up...

Ling Yang seemed to sense Lin Hai's gaze, looked up, and asked blankly, "Principal, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Although Qinghe County was far inferior to the magnificence of the imperial palace, the palace maids did not live in the queen's bedroom in the palace. After all, they were also miserable people. At most, they had an extra layer of beautiful packaging compared to ordinary miserable people. Qinghe had long been regarded as a paradise among the four countries. Therefore, Xue Tao was not worried that they would rebel after seeing the real Qinghe.

What's more, Qinghebo Lin Hai promised personally that if they wanted to live the life they wanted, Lin Hai would not only not force them to get married, but would even support them.

Xue Tao had experience in this regard.

Although living the life you want seems beautiful, it is extremely difficult for women, especially palace maids who only know some palace etiquette and serving nobles. Maybe a small number of these two hundred people will really find a way to make a living, but most of them will eventually get married and raise children. The only difference is that by then, not only will they marry voluntarily, they will no longer have any rebellious thoughts.
