New book is open: "Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Consort", welcoming new and old friends to follow.
Before transmigration, Lin Mengyao was a leftover woman ...
Lanqin was busy in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, getting up early every morning and going to bed very late every night.
Although she was busy, she was also very happy. She liked living like this, which was better than being idle and spacing out every day.
"Jade Flute?" she called out.
Yu Xiao hurriedly walked in from outside, and Lan Qin asked, "How are things arranged?"
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged perfectly. Please rest assured!"
Lanqin nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Go and call over the head maid and the eunuch in charge. I want to question them one by one."
Yu Xiao knew that she cared a lot about this matter and asked about it every day, so she hurriedly went out to summon the nannies and eunuchs. Before long, she led them in together.
"Your Majesty, we are your servants!" the group said, bowing to Lanqin.
Lanqin smiled gently and approachably, "Please rise, everyone!"
All the old women and old men in the room stood up, each with their heads bowed, standing respectfully.
Lanqin asked, "Which one of you is in charge of the flower viewing area?"
The old woman on the left hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully greeted Lanqin, "Reporting to Your Highness, it is this servant."
Lanqin nodded. "How are the preparations for the flower viewing area going?"
The old woman said, "This servant has already set up viewing platforms around the waterfront of Pengdao Yaotai as instructed by Your Highness. In this way, the noble ladies can step onto the viewing platforms and enjoy a wide view of the lotus pond. Your Highness, please rest assured."
Lanqin said, "I'll go take a look later. If it's done well, I'll reward you!"
Upon hearing this, the nanny's face lit up with a joyful smile. "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Lanqin's gaze swept across the crowd below, and she asked, "Then what about the palace for the banquet and the rooms for the guests? Have they all been arranged?"
Another nanny and eunuch stepped forward and told Lanqin about the things they had been busy with these past few days. Lanqin listened carefully and thought their arrangements were good, so she nodded in satisfaction.
“Well done. This time, we have invited all members of the imperial family, who will bring their families. The accommodations should not be arranged according to gender, but according to the number of households. As for the servants, although the princes and their wives will bring their own servants, we still need to send eunuchs and palace maids to serve them. This matter will be handled by Yuxiao and Baoqin.”
The two women curtsied and said, "Yes, we understand."
Lanqin looked at them, then remembered a crucial matter and asked, "So, who is in charge of purchasing the ingredients?"
A eunuch hurriedly came forward, and Lanqin asked him with concern about the progress of the food procurement. The man quickly replied that he had completed the task she had assigned, and described it as very difficult and arduous.
Lanqin said, "Well done."
The eunuchs from the imperial kitchen also came to report on the situation. Lanqin listened carefully, as she paid the most attention to matters concerning pastries and meals.
Although she rarely hosted any banquets, as banquets in the palace were usually for the Empress and other concubines, she was extremely careful and cautious.
"Yes, we must be extra careful with the food. The guests are all royalty, and they are used to fine food. You must do your best to ensure that there are no mistakes."
Apart from the chefs in the imperial kitchen, everyone else hurriedly whispered, "Yes, we understand. We will do our best to serve Your Majesty and not cause you any worry!"
