Traditional methods of conveying messages such as people, flying pigeons, and birds must not be used continuously. The snowball is too eye-catching, and it is easy to be noticed if it is used frequently.
Shangguan Ruoli thought for a moment and said, "Back then, didn't Xueqiu collect a snake boy from the tomb of the Tang clan elder? Let Feicui handle this matter."
Snakes are more stealthy in their movements. They are cold-blooded animals. Their heartbeat and breathing are very slow. They are similar to the concealment effect of masters and are even less likely to be discovered.
"Uh!" Bai Qingyan's lips twitched and he scratched his head, "Xueqiu has to tell Jade about this matter."
How do two animals of different species communicate?
Are you sure Emerald, a snake, can understand the language of Snowball, a cat?
Because of Jade's low moral character, he was afraid of the green dragon tooth anklets on Jing Xi and Jing Yang, so he only dared to settle in the rockery in the outer courtyard and did not dare to go to the inner courtyard.
And Xueqiu is a spiritual beast, and he is nourished by the spiritual elixirs of Masters Jing Yu and Huiming. Now he is a fifth-level spiritual beast, and he is not afraid of the teeth and bones of a green dragon spiritual beast.
The two of them talked about some things about Plum Blossom Pavilion, and Shangguan Ruoli asked Bai Qingyan to go back.
Sassoon came in with more than a dozen maids and said to Shangguan Ruoli: "Princess, I have found several families to have children. Do you want to pick two whom you are compatible with?"
In fact, she was spoiled for choice.
I was afraid of picking the foxy one who wanted to climb into the prince's bed, and I was afraid of picking someone who would be unfavorable to the master, so I simply let the master pick the one he liked.
Of course, if there is a problem, her responsibility will be smaller.
Sassoon, that silly girl, is starting to be mean-spirited.
Shangguan Ruoli took a sip of tea and glanced sharply at the faces of the ten maids.
The maids all lowered their heads in fear. They were all third-class maids, second only to the rough messenger maids, and they rarely even saw their master's face.
Now that they have the opportunity to serve their master personally, they are excited and hopeful, but also anxious.
Shangguan Ruoli put the tea cup on the table and then said slowly: "You all raise your heads."
The ten maids all raised their heads, but they all lowered their eyes and did not dare to look directly at Shangguan Ruoli.
Shangguan Ruoli's critical eyes swept across their bodies and said: "You all introduce yourselves one by one, who are you by name, what are you doing now, who is my wife, and where do you work."
Sassoon pointed to the first maid on the right, "Let's start with you."
The ten maids standing in rows began to introduce themselves one by one.
After they finished their introduction, Shangguan Ruoli pointed at the two delicate-looking maids and said, "You, and you, come forward."
The two maids have well-proportioned figures, their hands, face and behind the ears are clean, their eyes are clear, and they look steady but smart.
When they introduced themselves just now, they were generous and articulate, and it can be seen that they are not stupid people. Moreover, they are all literate, and I am also highly regarded by King Xuan, and he is in charge of everything.
"Slave Zi Yan."
"Slave Xueying."
"Greetings to the princess!" The two maids saluted Shangguan Ruoli again.
Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "You two will follow Sassoon to serve my concubine from today on!"
Zi Yan and Xue Ying both looked happy and kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess! I will definitely live up to the Princess's trust and respect."
Shangguan Ruoli pointed out two more good maids and asked them to be the second-class maids first. They can go into the house to serve them, in case Zi Yan and Xue Ying are not able to help, so that they can choose from them.
Only with competition can they be motivated, and they can work more attentively.
Sure enough, when Zi Yan and Xue Ying saw this, their attitudes became more respectful and serious.
The examples of Sassoon and Rejoice are shown here, and the fate of the plain-born people is also clear. As long as they work well and be loyal to their master, the princess will not treat her badly.
Shangguan Ruoli asked Sassoon to take the four people down and give them a brief job introduction and training.
Rejoice came in, paid a few words of concern to Shangguan Ruoli, and then reported: "There was news from Nanyun Palace. Nanyun Youhan returned to the palace and immediately made the imperial concubine's son the prince, and many factions opposed to the Prime Minister broke out.
officials."
Shangguan Ruoli knew the imperial concubine. She had met the imperial concubine once when she was kidnapped by Nanyun Youhan and brought to the Nanyun Palace.
The Imperial Concubine is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She was originally the Crown Princess when Nanyun Youhan was the crown prince. She was originally the queen within reason, but after Nanyun Youhan ascended the throne, she was given the title of Imperial Concubine.
Although she was only half a step away from the queen, she was still a concubine. From a wife to a concubine, even if the queen's position remained vacant, the imperial concubine and the prime minister were unwilling to accept it and felt that they had been greatly insulted.
At that time, the imperial concubine had a big belly, and later gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, who was only eleven years old.
Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "We have established a legitimate son. Nanyun Youhan has no legitimate son. Since he is the eldest son of the emperor, he should be the candidate for the crown prince. However, this shows that Black Eagle has been bribed by the prime minister and the imperial concubine, or he is theirs.
people."
Rejoice nodded and said: "Then what should our people do?"
Shangguan Ruoli thought for a moment and said: "Someone will go to the palace to take away several young and ignorant children of Nanyun Youhan and ask them to cooperate."
Since Dongming Ziyu wants Nanyun, the future Emperor Nanyun will definitely not end well.
The more joyful you are now, the less likely your end will be.
The reason why she took away the ignorant children was to prevent them from remembering the incident, and in the future they would hate her for taking them away, and even think of her as the enemy who killed their father.
"Yes!" Rejoice agreed, "It's just that the imperial concubine also started to take action in the harem, and overnight, two princes who had the ability to compete for the throne died."
Shangguan Ruoli frowned slightly, "Then let our people protect the princes and princesses without exposing themselves."
The battle for the throne and the harem have always been a matter of life and death.
Shangguan Ruoli would not trade his own life for the lives of a few brats. It was an honor and a sin for them to be born into the royal family and become princes and grandsons.
Rejoice nodded and said: "Also, Nanyun Lengyue has sent troops to Nanyun, and said that Nanyun Youhan has died, and now Nanyun Youhan is just a puppet controlled by traitors. There is chaos in the Nanyun Dynasty.
, requesting an audience with the emperor. The imperial concubine said that Nanyun Youhan was seriously injured and is recuperating and cannot see the ministers."
Shangguan Ruoli expected this, so he asked Rejoice: "What is the prince doing?"
Dongming Ziyu stayed away all night to discuss countermeasures. Thinking about it, he would not be slower than Nanyun Lengyue.
Rejoice said solemnly: "The prince has led his troops, crossed the boundary river, and invaded Nanyun."
Shangguan Ruoli's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Let people prepare food, wine, and food and send them to the front line."
As for medicines, bandages and other items, Bai Qingqing was well prepared, so she didn't need to worry about them.
Thinking of Bai Qingqing, I heard the maid outside report, "Princess, Doctor Bai is here."
As soon as the sound fell, Bai Qingqing came in with a mysterious look on her face and her eyes were shining with excitement. She almost said directly: I have a big secret to tell, ask me quickly, ask me quickly!
