Chapter 180 Newcomers
Shen Chuliu then looked at these people.
"I have spent a lot of time to gather you here. You all know what is going on, right? Are you willing to serve me?" Without outsiders, there was naturally no need to hide anything.
Several people looked at each other and knelt down quickly: "We are willing to serve Madam Xiu Yuan."
Outsiders don't know, but they were first contacted by the people from Cuiyunxuan, then transferred by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and finally assigned here. Naturally, everyone knows the answer. Now that this lady is in the limelight, no one is unwilling to serve her.
What's more, since Zizhu and the others were the ones who found them, these people must have their own benefits.
"If that's the case, I'm relieved." Shen Chuliu pointed at the tallest girl and said, "You will be called Zengchun from now on."
"Thank you for the name, Your Majesty."
"Well, your name is Suihong and your name is Xinlu." Shen Chuliu pointed at the two behind.
The two of them also hurriedly thanked Shen Chuliu.
The three eunuchs were waiting to be given names. Shen Chuliu said, "Yuanxiao is the chief eunuch of my Cuiyunxuan. Since he is called Yuanxiao, then you can call yourself Yulou, Yinhu, and Jinsuo."
The three eunuchs hurriedly thanked their master.
Shen Chuliu asked Zi Rui to bring silver to reward them one by one: "I don't have many rules, but I only ask for your loyalty. Other things are not a big deal. If one day your family is in trouble and you are forced to harm me, just come to me. I will not ignore it. But if you betray me, there is no need to give reasons, the only choice is death. I can do it."
When Shen Chuliu said this, the people below really couldn't help but believe it.
In terms of favor, she really rose rapidly, but she also gained a bad reputation.
Just imagine, she dared to beat a pregnant concubine, if it was a slave who betrayed her master...
Why not think about it? I'll kill myself before my master finds out. And I'll leave my body intact.
The new arrivals were settled in. They had been serving in the palace for many years, so naturally they had some things to bring with them.
There is a row of houses behind Cuiyunxuan, which is more than enough for living.
After the newcomers got themselves ready, they immediately started working.
Shen Chuliu said there was no need to rush, the palace maids could just follow the old man and the eunuchs could just ask Yuanxiao what to do.
In the Queen's Palace, Emei personally carried the second princess back to sleep.
Then he came back and told the queen about these things.
"I have inquired about it. Jing Xiuyuan has chosen the person herself early in the morning and is going to the emperor to go through the formalities."
"She is quite smart." Pei Yue snorted.
"Isn't it her duty to be smart? She didn't select the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in time, so who knows who interfered? The people she chooses now will all be people with trivial tasks, and they must be clean." Perrin said.
"But shouldn't we ask our queen about this?" Pei Yue was dissatisfied.
The Queen then spoke: "She is capable of asking the Emperor to do something. Isn't it normal for her to be on guard against me in this matter?"
"Hmph, I'm on guard against you, but you didn't do anything to her." Pei Yue was angrily.
"I didn't do it, but she will be worried. It doesn't matter, I don't care about these things, and you don't have to care about them. If she can persuade the emperor, this matter will have nothing to do with me. It won't hurt my reputation. Many people won't know about this." The queen didn't care.
"Yes, the Empress is concerned about the envoy from Chao." Emei sighed, "It is not enough for the Empress to marry a woman from the royal family of Dayi."
In theory, a princess would be the best, but there is no one of the right age now.
Needless to say, the emperor's daughter is still young.
The emperor's sisters had all been married long ago, but there were only three of them in total.
"We have suitable ones here from Prince Shun's Mansion, Prince Wei's Mansion, and Prince Ming's Mansion." Emei said.
"Well, we'll see what the emperor thinks when the time comes." The queen didn't take it too seriously.
"Yes. But we received a letter from the Chao Kingdom saying that they have prepared a lot of things for the little princess." Emei said again.
"That doesn't matter. But among you, do any of you want to go back? Needless to say, I can only live in the Dayi Dynasty in this life. You all... have parents." The queen sighed.
Several people looked at each other, and Pei Yue, the youngest, said, "I entered the palace when I was very young. Because I served you, the princess, I received a lot of money, which I gave to my family every year. I followed you to the Great Yi Dynasty, and my family received a large sum of money. It was enough for my unscrupulous father and brothers to live. Sometimes I miss the palace of the Chao Kingdom, but it is no different from the Great Yi Dynasty. I don't want to go back. I will follow you for the rest of my life."
"It's the same for me. I was sold when I was four years old and brought into the palace. Later, they wanted to recognize me as their relative. I will not go back." Peilan said.
Emei smiled and said, "I have brothers at home, my parents are in good health, and I have no shortage of money. Instead of going back to marry, I'd rather serve you. I won't go back."
In fact, they were all used to life in the palace. Even when they were in the court, weren't they trapped in the palace?
Nothing is different.
The queen looked at them and smiled knowingly.
Of course she was reluctant to do so, and she was very tolerant towards everyone she brought from the Kingdom of Chao.
Everyone was waiting to welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Chao.
On the seventh day of June, the envoy entered the capital accompanied by Marquis Jing'an.
I went to the palace to pay my respects as soon as possible.
The people who came from the court were the crown prince Shangguan Bo, the third prince Shangguan Hang, several civil officials and a general.
Jing'an Marquis Shen Changjing has not returned to the imperial city for four years.
He was also covered in dust.
In Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu was waiting, and the Queen was there too. It was the Queen who suggested, "Why don't we ask Jing Xiuyuan to come and see? She hasn't seen her grandfather for many years, right?"
Qi Yixiu nodded: "What the Queen said makes a lot of sense, go and invite her."
Soon after, Shen Chuliu also appeared here.
Soon, the Crown Prince of Chao was the first to enter the Taiji Palace.
He is the prince of another country, so naturally he doesn't need to kneel down.
It was just the same greeting as the third prince.
Shen Changjing, who was dressed in armor, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Changjing pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Qi Yixiu stood up and went down to help him up: "Mr. Jing'an, thank you for your courtesy! I was thinking of you returning to the capital, but now that you are back, there is no one in the northern border. I really miss you."
Shen Changjing was about to cry: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your concern. I will defend the northern border for Dayi until my death and will never regret it!"
"Okay, okay, please take a seat! Please sit down, Your Highness." Qi Yixiu sat back.
The Crown Prince Shangguan Bo smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. Your Royal Sister is even more charming than before."
The queen smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the third brother are the same. Now that Dayi is here, you must not feel restrained. Dayi is on good terms with Chaoguo, so being here is just like being in Chaoguo."
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "The Queen is right. I heard that the people of Chao love fine wine. I have prepared some. I will not return until I am drunk."
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince hurriedly stood up and expressed their gratitude.
"My dear Shen, you haven't seen Jing Xiuyuan for many years. Now that you meet her, let's go to the side hall and talk." Qi Yixiu said.
