Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Houzhao and the Minister of Works, Li Sui, were discussing the repair of firearms. In the laundry bureau, the identity of a little palace maid was undergoing a drastic change.
Bai Muxue was originally a palace maid in the laundry bureau. She was in charge of washing the royal clothes. That day, she got lost and barged into the emperor's passageway.
She had originally thought that it would be a disaster, but who knew that she would actually benefit from it and follow the Emperor to Yangxin Palace Hall.
Regardless of whether she had been visited by the emperor or not, she had seen the emperor and was a palace maid who shared the same room as the emperor. Many people envied Bai Muxue's good luck.
The sun was shining brightly. The palace maids in the laundry bureau were busy, and Bai Muxue was rolling up her sleeves and hammering her clothes.
Footsteps sounded outside the laundry bureau. The palace maids of the laundry bureau raised their heads. The figure of the Ming Dynasty female official appeared in the laundry bureau.
For a moment, the young palace maids of the laundry bureau discussed in low voices.
" It's Ouyang Jing 'er from Yangxin Palace Hall. She's in charge of the Imperial Records Book and is a close subordinate of the Emperor…"
"What is she doing at the laundry bureau?"
"Didn't Sister Muxue meet a young man more than ten days ago? She doesn't know who it is either, but the young man lives in Yangxin Palace Hall…"
The palace maids of the laundry bureau looked at Bai Muxue with envy.
After Ouyang Jing 'er entered the laundry bureau, she found the supervisor and Shangfu of the laundry bureau. The supervisor and Shangfu had an official position, a fifth-grade official.
Ouyang Jing 'er didn't stand on ceremony and said directly," More than ten days ago, a young palace maid from the laundry bureau met the emperor and entered Yangxin Palace Hall. I'm here to inquire about it and make a copy…"
"Bai Muxue really met Tian Zi?”
The manager of the laundry bureau was very surprised. The laundry bureau was the second of the eight big departments of Ming Dynasty, second only to the imperial kitchen. It was also the only eunuch organization out of the twenty-four yamen that was not in the palace!
Bai Muxue followed the palace maid to deliver the clothes. After getting lost, she naturally couldn't walk out on her own…
" We'll get Bai Muxue to come over now…"
Ouyang Jing 'er sat on the armchair in the main hall of the laundry bureau. She took out the imperial record book and prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
In the courtyard.
Bai Muxue continued to pound her clothes after she saw the emperor's vassal enter the hall of the laundry bureau.
More than ten days ago, she was sent back to the laundry bureau by the eunuch of Yangxin Palace Hall. Although she did not confirm the identity of the young man from the eunuch's mouth, after she sorted out everything, she was certain of one fact!
That youth was Tian Zi!
However!
She had never thought that Tian Zi was actually a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth. He was about the same age as her.
Moreover, she did not feel any pressure in Yangxin Palace Hall. She felt as if she was interacting with the emperor as if she was interacting with a brother next door.
After returning to the laundry bureau, the attitude of the other sisters and eunuchs towards her had changed.
When she first came to the laundry bureau, she did the hardest work.
It was much easier now.
Just as Bai Muxue was letting her imagination run wild, the supervisor of the laundry bureau came to her.
"Muxue, Aunt Ouyang is calling you over. If she asks about the laundry bureau, you have to be careful…"
"Yes, Auntie…"
After Bai Muxue wiped the water off her hands, she followed the manager of the laundry bureau into the main hall.
Ouyang Jing 'er was holding the Imperial Records Book.
"Bai Muxue?"
"I am Bai Muxue!"
Ouyang Jing 'er looked up at the manager of the laundry bureau and said,""I have something to ask her. Please lead the others away…"
When the supervisor heard this, he immediately left the laundry bureau with the others.
" You are the first woman to be recorded in the Imperial Records. After I finish writing, I will have to pass the Empress Dowager's review. You must answer whatever I ask. You cannot hide anything…"
"Auntie, I will definitely tell you the truth…"
"You still dare to call me aunt? I'm only four or five years older than you. We'll call each other sisters from now on…" Ouyang Jing 'er covered her mouth and laughed.
"How is this possible? Aunt is the emperor's close minister and is in charge of the Imperial Records Book…I'm just a little palace maid in the laundry bureau…"
" You're a palace maid now, but you might not be one in the future. You're the first palace maid to enter Yangxin Palace Hall, so you might be able to gain the Empress Dowager's favor…"
When Bai Muxue heard Ouyang Jing 'er's words, she felt as if she was deep in the clouds, like a dream.
"Alright, I'll ask you a question and you have to answer truthfully.”
"Yes!"
"After you entered Yangxin Palace Hall, were you visited by the emperor?”
"This…"
When Bai Muxue heard Ouyang Jing 'er's words, her face instantly turned red. For a moment, she did not know how to answer. She could only blush and shake her head gently...
"No, I didn't…Did you do anything intimate or did you reward me with something?”
Bai Muxue shook her head again. After entering Yangxin Palace Hall, the young man only asked her about the lives of the people in Hejian and about their farming. He did not give her any rewards or do anything intimate…
Ouyang Jing 'er saw Bai Muxue shaking her head and wrote,"" Bai Muxue, the palace maid of the laundry bureau, entered Yangxin Palace Hall because of His Majesty's favor. She didn't receive any rewards…"
As for what the Emperor said to Bai Muxue, Ouyang Jing 'er did not ask if it was written. She could write about the Emperor's visit, but she could not write about the Emperor's words. This was because the Emperor's words were written by the historian. If Ouyang Jing' er wrote about the Emperor's words and deeds, she would be overstepping her authority.
"Sister Muxue, I'm going to Cining Palace now. Come with me…"
"Yes…"
Ouyang Jing 'er suddenly stood up and closed the register that she had finished writing. She walked out of the hall of the laundry bureau, and Bai Muxue followed behind her.
" I'll bring Bai Muxue to the Compassionate Peace Palace…"
"Then I'll leave Muxue to Aunt Ouyang…"
When the manager of the laundry bureau looked at Bai Muxue, his eyes were filled with anticipation and enthusiasm.
Perhaps Bai Muxue was about to rise to fame. In the future, Bai Muxue would no longer be a little palace maid in the laundry bureau…
Bai Muxue followed Ouyang Jing 'er out of the laundry bureau and headed to the Forbidden City's Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager!
……
A handsome figure appeared on the bustling streets of the capital. She was holding a folding fan in her hand...
Shangguan Haitang, the Imperial Secret Agent of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa!
The extraordinary woman who was in charge of the Number One Manor in the World.
She had arrived in the capital five days ago, but she had not entered the palace…
The Divine Marquis said that there were crafty sycophants around the emperor.
Without needing to guess, one would know that the crafty sycophants the Divine Marquis was talking about were Cao Zhengchun of the East Chamber and Yu Huatian of the West Chamber.
These two people were in charge of the East and West Chambers. They had great power and were very cruel.
Shangguan Haitang had already collected Cao Zhengchun's ten crimes. After entering the palace, she would hand them over to the Emperor so that the Emperor could see Cao Zhengchun's true colors!
……
The people in the capital were talking about the recent war in Liaodong.
The Jurchen were wiped out by the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire became a big country.
The commoners were also praising the emperor's wisdom and Wang Shouren's courage!
Wang Shouren led the army and pacified Liaodong in one fell swoop. This was a great victory…
Although the emperor was young, he was mighty and extraordinary. When he rushed into the palace, the emperor made a prompt decision. With a flip of his hand, the Jurchen were destroyed!
Shangguan Haitang heard the conversation of the commoners and admired the young emperor even more…
She put away the paper fan and headed to the Meridian Gate!
The imperial guard stopped Shangguan Haitang.""Who is it? Halt!"
Shangguan Haitang raised the Dragon Guard Badge of the Imperial Secret Agent in her hand.
After the imperial guards checked the Dragon Protection Badge, they allowed Shangguan Haitang to enter the Forbidden City!
……
Cining Palace.
The empress dowager looked at the register that Xiahou Jing 'er had handed over and said,""Where is this palace maid from the laundry bureau? Let aijia see…"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager! This little palace maid was right outside Ci Ning Palace!”
"Let her in!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xiahou Jing 'er walked out of the main hall of Ci Ning Palace. Bai Muxue was waiting outside the hall with a terrified expression…
