Wanwan felt a little awkward being called "Your Majesty" by Tingfeng; it felt strange. But she didn't pay too much attention to it, since that was how she would be addressed from now on.
The master and servant inside were still talking. Hearing noises outside, they asked, "What's going on outside?"
Tingyu came in and reported, "Your Highness, it's Eunuch Zhao from the Imperial Household Department who sent someone to serve you. Does Your Highness wish to choose someone personally?"
Wanwan thought to herself, "These are the people who will be serving me from now on. I should go and see for myself, and let the system take a look, and also learn about the infatuated beauties in this deep palace."
"Come on, Tingyu, let's go pick people."
Wanwan looked at the people in the courtyard and asked the system how many concubines were in the harem.
System: [Host, you've finally remembered me. You haven't used me properly in the past ten years. Other hosts ask the system for everything, but you, except for essential matters, have ignored me.]
But often it seems that relying on yourself is worse than relying on the system. After all, if you rely too much on the system, and something happens in the future, it will be terrible if the system is not available.
Wanwan said, "Let's see which of these people are corrupt."
System [Host, this head eunuch was sent by the Emperor. The first, second, and fourth palace maids in the first row are the Empress's people. The last two palace maids in the second row are from the Nara clan and the Majia clan, respectively. The first one in the third row is from Consort Zhao, and the fourth one is from Consort Tong. There is one more person, which you would never guess, Host.]
"who"
[Host, the old woman in blue sent by the Imperial Household Department is someone from the Empress Dowager's side.]
Wanwan was very surprised. Hadn't the Empress Dowager already retired to the background?
Thinking about it again, it makes sense. After all, he once held great power, so how could he really relinquish it and become a blind man in the palace?
After getting to know everyone, Wanwan began to select people, including two sent in by Wanyan Honglie.
The first person chosen was that nanny. The Empress Dowager wanted to know what was happening in her palace, and she couldn't stop her. It would be more convenient to keep her under her nose.
It also makes it easier to deceive the Empress Dowager.
Besides the one sent by Emperor Kangxi, the chief eunuch was another person whom the system said would be very loyal. However, he looked very thin and weak, and was probably also a low-ranking eunuch.
Afterwards, Wanwan selected several eunuchs and palace maids who looked thin and pale, who were usually the lowest-ranking among the eunuchs and palace maids.
It was easier to win people's hearts. She didn't choose the other people in the Empress's group, but only a surrogate, someone who was stuffed in and looked obedient.
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
There were six palace maids serving the imperial concubine, and twelve eunuchs, including two head eunuchs, two senior palace maids, four second-class palace maids, and six people for cleaning and sweeping.
Wanwan said, "Eunuch Zhao, I have chosen a good person. I would like to trouble you to make a trip and have Tingfeng escort you out."
Tingfeng escorted Eunuch Zhao to the entrance of Jingren Palace and then discreetly slipped him a purse.
Wanwan said, "From now on, you will serve in Jingren Palace. I don't care about anything else, but there are two things I want. First, I want your loyalty. If I find any of you who are disloyal, you will either be beaten to death or sent to the Censorate. Don't expect me to send you back to the Imperial Household Department."
Secondly, I dislike gossipy people. In Jingren Palace, everyone must keep their mouths shut at all times. If anyone lets me hear anything they shouldn't hear, or says anything they shouldn't say, just like the first rule, they will either be beaten to death or sent to the Censorate. Do you understand?
