Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 595 Ningyuxuan is a blessed home

Qiyun Hall.

There is a reason why those little eunuchs envy Xiao Guizi.

Everyone in the harem knows that Ning Yuxuan is a happy family.

The palace maids who worked in Ningyuxuan not only had good food and good clothes, but also did not have to suffer beatings or scolding.

The most important thing is that you can read and learn to read in Ningyuxuan.

Several young eunuchs in Ningyuxuan, including Xiao Xiangzi, have reading tasks every day.

Not only did Concubine Ye take care of all their writing materials, ink, paper and inkstones, she also personally checked on them from time to time to see how they were doing.

Those pens, ink, paper and inkstone are not cheap.

This is also the reason why so many people cannot afford to go to school.

As for the teacher who taught them, it was of course Hongdou.

Everyone in the harem knows very well that the difference between being literate and being illiterate is a world of difference.

Only those who can read and write will not be taken advantage of by others and have the opportunity to climb higher.

So the eunuchs who were about the same age as Xiao Guizi all surrounded him with envy.

They were in Qiyun Palace, and they were rarely beaten or scolded on weekdays.

However, the atmosphere of Qiyun Palace is simply incomparable to Ningyuxuan.

Ning Yuxuan is bustling every day. The little eunuchs even run to the grove to climb trees and rob bird nests.

Not only did Concubine Ye not scold them, but she praised them for being livelier and having childlike nature.

How could they not be envious and their eyes sparkled greenly?

So these young eunuchs begged Xiao Guizi to speak well of them in front of the empress after he went to Ningyuxuan.

They also wanted to work for Ning Yuxuan.

Xiao Guizi agreed verbally, but he actually had a plan in mind.

Not everyone can enter the Queen's Ningyuxuan.

In Xiao Guizi's heart, those who can work in Ning Yuxuan are people whom the Empress can trust.

Xiao Guizi waited until the emperor woke up with great difficulty before he went in and kowtowed to him.

"You are a good child. It is your good fortune that Concubine Ye lets you go. You should do your job well in the future and don't bring shame to the reputation of Qiyun Palace."

Xiao Guizi agreed readily and knelt down to kowtow respectfully to the emperor.

This can be considered as fulfilling the relationship between master and servant.

When Xiao Guizi, holding his clothes, walked to the door of Ningyuxuan, he couldn't help but stop.

He had wanted to sneak to this door and take a look several times.

Look at where the queen lives.

But he was a lowly servant and had no right to run around.

So what he would do most often was to look in the direction of Ningyuxuan from the gate of Qiyun Palace.

Seeing Xiao Guizi standing at the gate and not coming in, the two young eunuchs guarding the door ran out.

"Brother Xiao Guizi, the queen has told you to come over to the small living room. She is waiting for you there."

A chubby little eunuch came over and led him to the small living room.

Huang Ye estimated that Xiao Guizi should be here by now.

So she let the Fourth Prince go to the study to review his lessons, while she waited in the small living room with Fanghua and Xiao Xiangzi.

Xiao Guizi was brought in front of Huang Ye, and he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

Huang Ye waited until he finished bowing before letting him stand up.

"Little noble boy, today I asked the emperor for you. From today on, you are a member of our Ningyuxuan family."

Huang Ye spoke kindly to Xiao Guizi.

"I, Xiao Guizi, will listen to your Majesty from now on. Even if your Majesty wants to kill me, I will do it."

These were also the most heartfelt words that Xiao Guizi could think of after hearing that he was asked to work in Ningyuxuan.

"Why would the queen want your life? You just need to do your job well."

Hongdou also likes Xiao Guizi very much, so she patted Xiao Guizi on the shoulder and gave him some advice.

"I will definitely do my job well."

Xiao Guizi said firmly.

"That's right, Xiao Xiangzi. Xiao Guizi has never been to school. You should teach him when you have time."

"Don't worry, Madam. I will leave the little boy to you."

Xiao Xiangzi also noticed how much the queen valued Xiao Guizi, so he readily agreed.

"Aunt, you are responsible for arranging what Xiao Guizi should do and where he should live."

"Don't worry, Madam. I will make arrangements."

Fanghua thought for a moment and asked again.

"My lady, it will take some time for the little boy to get used to reading and writing. I want to arrange some easier work for him so that he can get used to it slowly."

"You can arrange this."

Huang Ye is not a person who likes to worry too much, and only Xiao Guizi can make her care a little.

If this child is well taught, she can be of great use.

But the prerequisite is that he must be literate.

Huang Ye still holds the same idea: illiterate people cannot go far.

Only after Huang Ye returned to her bedroom did Hongdou talk to her about serious matters.

"Your Highness, didn't you say this time that you would not let Concubine Xu and Concubine Shi go? Especially Concubine Xu..."

Huang Ye never wanted to let those two people go.

"I just thought about it. There are too many things to do this month. My second brother is getting married, and Emperor Nan Zhao is also coming to the capital."

Not to mention these things, there is also Xiao Zhao. He has already negotiated the price with the shops on that street.

In the next few days, she will buy the street, and then renovate it and train staff...

She doesn't have time to deal with those two people.

"Go call Green Bean over here."

Regarding the snack street matter, she would have to leave the palace for a while.

Green Bean walked in quickly.

"Mung Bean, I told you about the snack street before. Xiao Zhao has already bought the venue."

Mung bean understood what the yellow leaves meant.

"Your Majesty's current health... your food is not prepared by me, I am worried."

Green Bean is now unwilling to leave the Empress even a step away.

She had promised the old lady that she would personally take care of the queen's food during her pregnancy.

Even if it was Nanny Yang who cooked for the Empress, she would not feel at ease.

"Alright, alright, don't worry. I am the heir of the Poison Doctor Valley. Who would dare to harm me?"

Huang Ye didn't care.

Ever since she had morning sickness and ate the three white flour cakes brought by the Fourth Prince.

She now enjoys eating anything and is basically not picky about food.

So even if mung beans were taken out of the palace, she would still be able to eat the ones made by Nanny Yang.

Nanny Yang is indeed talented in cooking.

Now she has mastered the skill of making mung beans to about 60%.

"It will take me a while to leave the palace this time."

According to the snacks that Huang Ye has sorted out on a daily basis, there are no less than forty kinds of snacks that he is going to launch in the snack street.

Those manpower alone are not a small number.

Not to mention that Huang Ye asked Xiao Zhao to buy all these people himself.

Huang Ye would always feel uneasy if the person he recruited did not have a contract of sale in his hands.

Because her snack street is the first of its kind in the Great Xia Dynasty.

She also wanted to replicate this model in various cities of the Great Xia Dynasty.

She didn't want to make any mistakes on this first snack street.
