Chapter 16 A-Zhu: Hey, System, this is slander! System: ...

The newly arrived palace maids bowed their heads and followed Huiyue toward the east side room.

No one spoke, but the expressions of the group were still slightly agitated.

As for Ah Zhu, after coming out of the inner hall, she lowered her head and felt a wave of excited, tingling pleasure welling up from the bottom of her heart.

A tingling, numb sensation traveled from her scalp to the soles of her feet, even her fingertips trembled slightly—the nannies hadn't lied to her; as long as she was loyal... she would receive a reward.

In the inner palace... because of her loyalty, the nannies rewarded her with kindness and tolerance.

Now, amidst the envious gazes of others, she enters Kunning Palace to serve.

Ah Zhu used to always say and keep in mind his "utmost loyalty".

Suddenly, it became a reality, and we tasted the sweetness of success.

Immersed in a certain sense of satisfaction and pleasure, Ah Zhu's eyes were somewhat unfocused—who could be more loyal than her?

No one disturbed A-Zhu as she enjoyed the pleasure of about to realize her "self-worth".

Once they entered the secluded courtyard behind the side hall, Huiyue pointed to the house in the west corner and said to the group, "From now on, you will live here. Aunt Hua will come over in a little while to arrange your tasks."

Huiyue turned around and looked at the few palace maids, her gaze constantly drifting towards Azhu as she spoke.

“Our Kunning Palace is not like the place you used to live in.”

"Apart from the tasks assigned to you, do not wander around casually, and do not associate with any other idle people, such as pulling or tugging at each other."

"Here, your most important task is to serve your master wholeheartedly."

"Don't harbor any wishful thinking or do anything that oversteps the bounds."

“The palace rules were strict.”

"If you break the rules, no one can save you!"

Hearing Huiyue's pointed rebuke, the other palace maids couldn't help but look at Azhu, only to see Azhu curtsying with them as usual.

"Yes, I will follow Aunt's teachings."

"Alright, everyone, go inside."

Huiyue waved her hand: "Change your clothes after you go in. Someone will come and collect your old clothes later."

"yes."

After seeing Huiyue off, the palace maids who were standing there looked at each other and didn't move for a while. It was Azhu who took the first step and walked towards the west room.

Upon entering the room, the familiar large communal sleeping area immediately comes into view.

It was more spacious than where they slept in the Yeting Palace.

The bedding on the bed looked about 80% new, and it felt even softer and more comfortable to the touch.

Besides the four cabinets along the wall, there is a small wardrobe on the left side as you enter.

There was also a simple dressing table by the window.

Ah Zhu chose a spot against the wall, and the others also chose beds, so there was no friction over who got a spot.

It must be said that A-Zhu offended quite a few people in the Yeting Palace, and even more people argued and quarreled with her.

But besides that, there are also some steady people who don't get involved in these messy affairs.

The three palace maids chosen this time were just like that.

Back when they were still in the Imperial Palace, they always kept their distance from A-Zhu, that notorious troublemaker.

I didn't blindly follow rumors and idolize any "miracle herbal powder."

To be honest, no one could help but be excited when they were chosen to enter Kunning Palace.

But looking at A-Zhu, who was also selected... they were excited but also felt a headache coming on.

However, the decision of how to select people is clearly not up to them to decide or interfere.

Considering that they were all currently working together in Kunning Palace, and even sharing a room... the group exchanged glances, and Huichun, who was the oldest, stepped forward.

“A-Zhu”.

Seeing that Ah Zhu turned his head to look at her calmly, without glancing at her or responding in a sarcastic tone, Hui Chun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Her Majesty has not bestowed any names upon us, let us continue to use our previous names. Ah Zhu, you can call me Huichun."

Following closely behind was a round-faced girl. "My name is Yunzhu."

The slender palace maid spoke last: "Greensleeves."

It's said that you can't hit a smiling face, and besides, Ah Zhu isn't some crazy person who grins at anyone for no reason.

Seeing that everyone in the room was someone who had never called her "Black Charcoal Ball," Ah Zhu's expression softened and a smile appeared on her face.

“A-Zhu, from now on, you older sisters can call me A-Zhu.”

Haha!

The group looked at A-Zhu with surprise—A-Zhu was so famous that the others in the room had very low expectations of her.

Unexpectedly, the most notorious troublemaker in the inner palace, the famous A-Zhu, actually seemed quite easy to get along with.

With Ah Zhu no longer causing trouble, the others breathed a sigh of relief and were naturally in a very good mood.

When tidying up the house, you lend a hand and I contribute my share, and the atmosphere becomes surprisingly harmonious.

Ah Zhu, who had never experienced this kind of atmosphere before, felt that everything was going smoothly.

This Kunning Palace is truly a place of excellent feng shui; everything about it is wonderful.

With a smile, she quickly changed into the uniform of the lowly palace maids in Kunning Palace.

No sooner had I changed my clothes than I heard a piercing "whoosh—whoosh—" sound:

【"drop--!"】

[“Congratulations, Lord! You have successfully chosen your palace and have squeezed out your position. You will do everything in your power to seize your opportunity.”]

[“To help you, we are offering you a gift; please apply promptly.”]

【"Wishing you **"】(Please see the author's words)

Ah Zhu: ......No, hehe.
