"Lady Mu, these are the people assigned to your palace.”An unfamiliar eunuch led a few rows of palace maids and eunuchs to Qinxin Hall. He smiled obsequiously and said," Although two talents have been conferred this time, the Emperor treats you much better than the other one. Just these palace maids and eunuchs alone are more than the other palace maids…"
"If you have something to say, please say it directly, Eunuch." Ge Ning frowned slightly.”
"This servant is thinking….. since Lady Mu is so favored now, in the future….. please take care of this servant.”
"Eunuch, where did you get this from? I haven't even seen the emperor's face.”
"Aiyo, Talent Mu! How can you call yourself 'me' in front of a servant like me…You're really humiliating me!”
Compared to his panic, Ge Ning didn't have any reaction."Eunuch, if you have nothing else to say, please go back. I believe you have many important things to do.”
The eunuch saw Ge Ning rudely asking him to leave, and thought that he had accidentally offended this talented person. Since he didn't dare to disobey Ge Ning's words, he could only leave with a smile.
Ge Ning finally turned her attention to the palace servant who had her head lowered.
She circled around them and looked at them carefully. After a long while, he pointed at a few people." You guys stay here. The rest of you can leave. I'll arrange it later."”
After the others left, Ge Ning picked up the tea on the table."The few of you, report your names.”
"Replying to Lady Mu, this servant is Qing Yan."
"This servant is Qin Chao."
"This servant is Xiao Zhan."
"This servant is Liu Luo."
"This servant is Xiao An Zi."
"This servant is Xiaode Zi."
"I am Little Chuan Zi."
"Qingyan?" Ge Ning paused. Is the word 'Yan' referring to the appearance of flowers and moons?"
"Replying to a talented person is to be cautious in your words and actions.”
Looking at Qing Yan, who had her head lowered and was neither servile nor overbearing, Ge Ning believed that she had not chosen the wrong person.
"Aren't you curious why I asked that?”
Qing Yan's expression remained indifferent.""As a palace maid, we should be careful with our words and actions. Master has his own sense of propriety and has his own reasons for doing things. We only need to follow Master's instructions.”
"What if I ask you to do something that will incur the death penalty?" Ge Ning raised her eyebrows slightly. For example…murdering the heir?"
A gasp came from the side, but Qing Yan remained unmoved.""This servant will complete master's orders even if it is a death sentence. This is this servant's duty.”She paused." However, this servant has to remind Lady Mu that in front of this servant, you really shouldn't call yourself 'I'. Moreover, it's better for Lady Mu to restrain yourself with such treasonous words. After all, the walls have ears. If these words spread out, everyone in Qinxin Palace will be implicated.”
Ge Ning smiled but didn't say anything. She looked at Qing Yan's expressionless face, but her heart wasn't as calm as it seemed on the surface. She could still remain calm in the face of such a situation. The first thing he paid attention to was not whether her words were appropriate or not, but her self-proclaimed title. This person…must not be simple…If he could make her work for him wholeheartedly…
"Don't worry, Lady Mu. Since this servant and the others belong to Qinxin Hall, we will do our best to work for Lady Mu. If we have second thoughts, we will kill ourselves before Lady Mu deals with us.”
"You know me well." Ge Ning was shocked.”
"This servant doesn't dare to guess master's intentions, but being in the inner palace and having to cater to his preferences, I have no choice but to guess.”
Ge Ning stopped looking at her and walked to the window."" The harem…is nothing more than this…" She sighed faintly. She didn't know if she was saying this to the people behind her or to herself…
