843 Sweet Dates and Sticks
But maybe because Xiaocui and she were both women, the feeling of relief brought by it was not as strong as that brought by Zhu Xiuyuan.
Xiao Cui carefully observed Concubine You's expression, her mind racing at high speed.
She swallowed a sip of saliva and said tentatively: "Master Hou... is very promising at a young age and has made many achievements... since the founding of Da Chen... he is the number one person!"
Seeing that Concubine You's expression did not change, Xiao Cui seemed to smile brighter, so she continued: "Moreover, Mr. Marquis is a suave man, with a jade tree facing the wind, gentle and gentle..."
Xiaocui said while observing Concubine You's face.
"...his poetic talent is unparalleled! Mr. Hou can be called the most extraordinary man in the world! The most perfect man!"
Xiao Cui found that when she finished speaking, the smile on her face could no longer be kept.
Xiao Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems she made the right bet this time!
But...why is this?
"presumptuous!"
However, before Xiao Cui could dig deeper, Concubine You's face suddenly changed, her smile disappeared, and instead became covered with a layer of frost.
The sudden change scared Xiao Cui to the point of death.
This matter involves a very private matter for the empress. If she is not careful, she will be silenced.
Now the empress has suddenly changed her face. Could it be that she wants to...
Even though Xiao Cui was smart, she was still confused under the shadow of death. She almost lost her soul and had layers of beads of sweat on her forehead.
thump!
Xiaocui knelt down directly.
"Nonsense!" Concubine You scolded Xiaocui first, and then continued: "The most amazing man in the world, the most perfect person, is naturally Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cui was so stunned that she even forgot to say anything to admit her mistake and beg for mercy.
Everyone almost fainted.
If the empress used this as an excuse to silence her, it would not be easy, and she would die miserably!
Xiao Cui doesn’t want to die!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Immediately afterwards, Concubine You burst into laughter and personally bent down to help Xiaocui up, who almost fainted.
Xiaocui stood up blankly and looked at Concubine You in confusion, the fear on her face not disappearing.
"Xiao Cui, how long have you been following me? How has I treated you?"
Concubine You pulled out her chair, sat down behind the desk, and looked at Xiao Cui with a smile.
"Your Majesty..." Xiaocui's voice was trembling, but she quickly restrained herself, "I have been with you for three years. Your Majesty treats me like your biological parents!"
"Then do you think...you are my confidant?"
"Yes, the slave is naturally the queen's confidant. The slave is like a part of the queen's body, so naturally she is the queen's confidant!" Xiaocui said hurriedly.
And he knelt down and kowtowed.
Especially, having just walked through the gate of hell, she now finds that this opportunity is extremely precious!
So I quickly showed my loyalty, showing my heart and lungs, even breaking the skin on my forehead!
"Well, get up!"
Concubine You said with a smile.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Xiao Cui got up. A certain area on her forehead was slightly red, with fine drops of blood oozing out.
"Wipe it!" Concubine You handed out a handkerchief.
"Thank you, empress!" Xiao Cui burst into tears of gratitude.
"Haven't you been thinking about the position of 'Officer in Charge' for a long time? Tomorrow, I will personally go to Your Majesty to ask for the position of 'Officer in Charge' to you!"
Concubine You said calmly, as if that position was worthless.
But when Xiao Cui heard this, she was overjoyed and couldn't help herself with her excitement. She was "slave" for a while, and then she remembered to kneel down and kowtow to express gratitude.
In Chen Guo's harem, there were three major female officials with great power.
The first is the "Master Attendant", who is the first maid beside the emperor... Because Concubine You is extremely favored, this "Master Attendant" is actually hers.
The second is the "Palace Lady Official", who is the first palace maid next to the queen, holding the Phoenix Seal on behalf of her, and has great power. But in the Chen Palace nowadays, the queen is equivalent to being in the cold palace, and the "Palace Lady Official" is just a decoration.
The third position is the "official in charge".
The management of all important matters in the palace, such as the palace, the rituals, the clothes, the bed, the food, the merits, etc., are all under the control of the "chief officer". In addition, he is also responsible for distributing the salary, allocating the maids to the palaces, etc.!
The power is boundless.
A palace maid who doesn't want to be a "hands-officer" is not a good palace maid!
Xiaocui has naturally been coveting the position of "Chief Officer" for a long time, but she also knows that she is not qualified enough and is too young, so there is no way she can get it.
But it's different now. Concubine You has already spoken, so this is almost a certainty.
When Xiaocui thought of the power of the "chief officer", she almost turned into a flying fairy.
From the moment when all the dead souls emerged, to now becoming a flying fairy, Xiaocui has experienced the ups and downs of life in a short period of time...
You Guifei's combination of punches made Xiaocui completely become her die-hard loyalist!
Xiaocui knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and repeatedly said, "I am willing to follow my empress to the death."
"Get up. From now on, as long as you follow me well, you will reap endless benefits!" Concubine You said calmly.
Xiaocui was naturally so happy that she never closed her mouth.
…
After a while.
The paintings on the table were carefully put away and a new piece of rice paper was laid on them.
This time Xiaocui studied the ink, took out the brush, and handed it to Concubine You respectfully.
Concubine You closed her eyes and thought for a while, then began to write...
This time she drew a picture of Zhu Xiuyuan wearing armor, riding on a tall horse, with a straight back and a resolute face, giving him the aura of an iron-blooded man.
Xiao Cui stood by and praised the painting for being well done.
Xiaocui has experienced the ups and downs just now, her mood has gradually calmed down, and her intelligence has returned.
After chatting with Concubine You for a while, Xiaocui discovered that Concubine You liked to talk about the God of Thunder, so she followed her fancy...
"Your Majesty...why did you choose the God of Thunder?"
Xiao Cui asked.
Xiao Cui knew that her empress had "spiritually cheated", but in this harem, things were so treacherous that nothing was surprising.
Xiaocui had heard before that some eunuchs in the palace were so courageous that they actually smuggled men into the palace to comfort a large group of concubines in the harem on behalf of the emperor...
Some concubines even have fixed lovers.
This harem is not a pure place to begin with.
Her empress suddenly fell in love with a foreign minister, which was not unacceptable to Xiao Cui.
Furthermore, Xiaocui can be considered a person who has been through the gate of hell once, so naturally she cannot come to persuade the empress...unless she doesn't want to live anymore.
Moreover, Xiaocui had already made up her mind to completely lure Concubine You into the trap.
Not only "mentally cheating", but also physically.
In this way, the secret between her and Concubine You will be more stable, and her position will be more secure!
In the future, if you accomplish something beautiful for your empress, your empress will naturally not forget her kindness.
