Chapter 44 Grass (a plant)

It was snowing heavily outside, and the house was so quiet that only the sound of the crackling charcoal fire was left. After talking for a while, Jiang Xian thought she was about to get down to business, but the boss still hugged her and talked to her heart to heart: "How do you think of me, my beloved concubine?"

"

Of course it's the boss.

But maybe the boss doesn't like to hear it. Judging from Jiang Xian's abundant part-time work experience, some bosses like to hear nice words and want to treat the boss as a brother, a relative, a benefactor, a navigator on the road of life, a wolf... In short

It's not enough to answer "boss", it's even more important to answer "payer".

Such questions are not easy to answer well.

Jiang Xian thought for a while and embellished it a little: "The emperor is not only the king of a country, but also the husband of this concubine... After entering the palace, I will spend the rest of my life in the palace. Who else can I rely on besides the emperor?"

I hope the emperor is well. The emperor lives a comfortable life. It would be better if I can think of you."

Under the warm light, the beauty's face and shoulders were gentle, glowing with a warm and snow-white light. The emperor laughed: "I vaguely remember that you were very well-behaved during the palace election, and the queen mother even praised you. Now it seems that you

I probably won’t be able to please her anymore.”

The Queen Mother does not like concubines who are too voluptuous and gorgeous.

In terms of temperament and style alone, she is a good match for the imperial concubine, which is why the imperial concubine is particularly intolerant of her.

"It is enough for me to please the Emperor."

Jiang Xian continued to express her loyalty.

"You are very popular with me." Tonight, the emperor seemed not to want to go to bed early. He lay on his side on the bed and said, "If there is another time about Zhaoyang Palace, it is better to go to the queen first."

He originally thought she would be aggrieved and defend herself.

After all, since entering the palace, he has doted on her and allowed her to be unruly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xian admitted her mistake politely: "I am afraid that my concubine's recklessness has caused trouble for both the emperor and the empress."

As she said that, she stood up to kneel down. Halfway through the movement, half of her body was about to get out of bed. Seeing that she really wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake solemnly, the emperor stretched out his hand to support her and pushed her back on the bed: "I'm afraid you're scared.

The ground is cold. If you have anything, just say it in my arms."

Jiang Xian looked grateful and breathed a sigh of relief inside.

She said in a soft voice: "On that day, people from Zhaoyang Palace came to summon me. I knew that I might have to suffer, so I didn't take the palace maid with me. I thought I would suffer some pains myself. How noble the imperial concubine is.

, even punishment is a lesson. But I was afraid of hurting my body and not being able to serve in front of the emperor, so I made a mental note to ask the emperor to rescue my concubine if anything happened."

Jiang Xian sniffed and recalled her childhood memories when she almost couldn't raise the tuition fee. Her eyes were red, like a miserable and frightened little animal: "In the harem, the only person I can rely on and trust is also

The emperor is here."

She thought well. The emperor could accept the situation of emergency, but he had rules and propriety in his heart, and he also cared about the queen's face.

This is much better than serving a ridiculous and foolish king.

What's more, it's better for the emperor to ask and give her a chance to explain than to hold it in and deduct points from her.

Sure enough, after listening to her explanation, the emperor said: "The queen is in charge of the harem. If anyone in the harem misbehaves, it should be judged by her. Not long after my beloved concubine entered the palace, she was frightened out of her courage by the noble concubine, so she could only rely on me.

...I understand all your concerns, and listen to me, the queen is trustworthy." He held her soft little hand, and when he saw her obediently explaining it clearly, the solemnity between his brows disappeared: "I believe it.

You, as you trust me."

The emperor didn't say much, because even if the women in the palace were in awe of the queen, they were not happy to hear him mention other women between the beds. What about other concubines? The emperor just mentioned them and didn't care about the mood of the concubines? But with Jiang Xian

, he actually developed the thoughtfulness to take care of her emotions.

Unexpectedly, the beloved concubine seemed to be very interested in asking: "Although I go to Jianzhang Palace every day to pay my respects, the queen does not speak. I admire the queen very much and want to know the queen's temperament."

Her tone was pure and sincere, not sinister.

If you have the opportunity to understand the CEO's temperament, you must ask more!

The emperor was surprised: "Xian'er actually has such feelings for the queen."

"I'm afraid I'll have to rely on the queen a lot in the future." Jiang Xian nodded vaguely.

There were many people in the harem who hated her. If they attacked her, even if she could solve the problem, she would have to report it to the queen. If she could find out the queen's temperament in advance, she could come up with a countermeasure.

Seeing that she was sincere, the emperor couldn't help but smile:

It seems that she still listened to what I said, and thought that she would not bother him if he got into trouble next time. That's all, so I would like to mention a few more words.

As a result, Jiang Xian got the queen's message from the emperor's mouth——

The queen is fair and strict in dealing with things, has a tolerant temper, and does not punish people easily. Her rules and etiquette are excellent, but she is slightly lacking in patience. If you want to ask her for justice, it is best to keep it short and straight to the point, concise and to the point. The worst thing is to avoid procrastination.

Looking around, he said: "The queen is the most tolerant in this palace. If she can't tolerate something, I can't let it go."

Jiang Xian understood.

"After listening to the emperor's words, I feel much more at ease."

※

After saying hello the next day, Jiang Xian devoted her enthusiasm to her two new major projects.

She asked Zhenqiu to bring the Four Treasures of the Study and grind the ink for her. She also asked Zhenqiu to cut the paper into A4 size, punch a hole in the upper left corner, and tie it with a string. A simple ancient handbook was ready. Ancient

The paper is not as strong and durable as modern ones, and mechanical pencils and brushes are not the same thing. It is impossible to write on top of each other like modern notebooks, otherwise the ink will seep underneath and it will be inconvenient to use.

However, there is no more convenient way at the moment.

Jiang Xian was able to get charcoal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it was far less convenient for writing than pencils and had poor storage properties because it lacked graphite, which has not yet been discovered and taken seriously. After weighing the balance, Jiang Xian chose

Traditional calligraphy brushes are perfect for seizing every opportunity to practice calligraphy.

Zhen Qiu asked curiously: "Master, what are you going to write?"

"Plan."

Jiang Xian cut out two plan books.

A "Recommendation Book for Xihuayuan Garden Renovation"

A "Plan for Organizing the Emperor's Private Treasury"

The former requires the development of project technical personnel, project budget and process flow.

The latter is to count everything in the warehouse, compile it into a book, and then put it away in categories according to her classification method.

Thinking that this might be the key to her earning 10,000 palace points, Jiang Xian worked even more seriously.

Jiang Xian is used to doing PPT. When she has an idea in her mind, she will habitually lay out the layout. She doesn’t need to make many revisions when she writes. Coupled with her good handwriting, the simple notebook immediately looks like an exquisite ancient book.

She held the brush and regained the feeling of immersing herself in making plans, but...

"Master, please drink some water."

Mian Xia brought tea to refresh her mind: "Wolfberry tea, the imperial doctor said it protects the liver and improves eyesight."

"Master used some snacks to sweeten his mouth, and there were also filial kumquats sent from the royal kitchen. The slaves peeled them for the master." The snacks are chestnut cakes, which are very small and suitable for the delicate little mistress to eat one bite at a time.

You can enjoy the delicious food even if you open your mouth wide. Not only the skin of the kumquat peeled by Zhenqiu was removed, but also the white flakes on the flesh were carefully peeled off, leaving only the chubby and watery pulp.

People's appetite increases greatly.

As long as Jiang Xian stretches her body and stretches her muscles a little, the palace maid's soft little hands will be put on her shoulders: "Master, are you tired? I will give you a massage and relax."

"..."

The presence of the two palace maids gave Jiang Xian the illusion that she was a rich young man who came to the company to experience the sufferings of the people: "You two don't have to stay here to serve. You should be on duty when you should be working, and you should be resting when you should be resting."

"Master, don't you want me to serve you here?"

Mian Xia was very nervous. She knelt down and looked at the master she admired most: "Did you do anything wrong? Master, please forgive me, or go get some hot water and soak your feet."

I even soaked my feet!

What kind of work benefits are these?

Jiang Xian smiled: "I need a quiet and focused work environment. Just wait outside. If I need anything, I will call people in."

After finishing the rough layout, Jiang Xian started purchasing courses from the system:

【I need courses in garden design, floral design and flower planting and maintenance.】

The course type is relatively cheap because the hosts have to learn it themselves.

System: [This has nothing to do with palace fighting and is against the rules.]

[Who said it has nothing to do with palace fighting? Your system is too small!] Jiang Xian skillfully began to fool the system: [The moment the emperor stepped into my palace, I have started. I want to beautify every corner and repair the garden.

, it’s the same as other empresses who dress up carefully to win over the emperor, but what they paint is pink, and what I plant are flowers. I want the emperor to see these flowers and grass at the first glance when he walks in.】

【……】

The system was silent for a while and was convinced again.

There are also three more products in the product course classification.

[Name]:Flower planting and maintenance

[Type]: Course

[Remarks]: Borrowed from the farming system next door, the farming system commented after reading: "Grass (a kind of plant)"

…

【Name】:Garden Design

…

[Remarks]: The farming system gave instructions again: "It turns out that the fight for beauty in the palace fight actually refers to flowers and plants."
