In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 435: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 39

There are definitely more specific rules for being an official than just these two, but because those under him were influenced by the family system and could not violate what Nian Shilan said, Nian Shilan proposed them personally. The remaining rules were distributed by Songzhi and Baicao, who supervised the people below to memorize them, and would not let them go until they were sure they had memorized them.

During the process, Nian Shilan also focused on the arrangements and plans for everyone. According to the recommended training directions in the task cards, those who were suitable to be local officials were arranged by Nian Shilan to be local officials, and they were required to improve themselves and strive for progress. At the same time, they were asked to find suitable colleagues to join the organization.

Those who are suitable for the six departments will be recorded according to their personal strengths, and will be assigned to suitable departments by using their family connections. They will be required to contribute as quickly as possible and try to get promoted. They will also be required to find ways to recruit colleagues in the six departments.

Everyone is given the task of recruiting subordinates and finding ways to convince colleagues to cooperate in recruiting superiors. It is like some kind of XX organization that constantly develops downlines and eliminates unqualified members. Although Nian Shilan finds it a bit strange, considering that as long as the purpose of the organization is not a problem, it should not be a problem if the process is a bit strange, so he lets it go for the time being.

The current problem is that most of them are not high-ranking officials, and there are even fewer officials from the capital. Even if all of them are included, they cannot shake the decision of the court. For this reason, Nian Shilan can only wait temporarily, and wait until next year when he leaves the palace to escape the summer heat or when the emperor leaves the palace to pray for rain, and then sneak out of the palace and return to the Nian family to ask Nian Xialing for help.

"Okay, Songzhi, Baicao, it's time for us to go back to the palace."

"Farewell, Her Majesty Hua." Before leaving, Nian Shilan naturally would not forget to set prohibitions for the officials who came. Fortunately, there was no problem this time and it was set smoothly.

When Nian Shilan returned to the palace and had just finished washing up, she heard the palace servants tell her that the emperor had favored a palace maid in Jingren Palace last night, and made her a concubine and gave her the title "Rou".

"Rou agrees?"

Where did this person come from? Could it be a new character who replaced Yu Ying'er's role?

The palace maid was a little unsure of Nian Shilan's attitude towards the matter. Seeing Nian Shilan's doubts, she answered with some fear, "Your Majesty, yes."

"Alright, I understand. You can go down now."

Nian Shilan had no intention of arguing with the palace maids, so she waved her hand and told them to leave. Songzhi, on the other hand, could not bear to see it and angrily spoke up for Nian Shilan: "Hmph, look at how timid he is. The queen is so kind, but he trembles when talking to her. If people knew about this, they would think the queen had done something to him!"

"Okay, Songzhi, you should also stop talking."

Now, except for those people's confidants, everyone in the palace has become Nian Shilan's people. Naturally, she would not scold her own people at will. Knowing that Songzhi meant well, Nian Shilan just stopped her softly and didn't say much.

It just so happened that Baicao had already found out the details of this Rou Daiying and came in to report.

"Your Majesty, I have made inquiries. Rou Ying's real name is Wu Ya Rou'er. She is a member of the Empress Dowager's family. Two months ago, she was selected by the Empress Dowager and sent to the Empress's family, Ulanala Mansion, for more than a month of 'training'. Not long ago, she was mixed in with the young selected palace maids and sent to the palace."

"I heard that on the day of the palace banquet, the emperor met Rou Ying dancing among the plum blossoms in the Plum Garden..."

"So she just entered the palace, no wonder."

There was no one in the entire palace that Nian Shilan didn't know. Only the new palace maids and eunuchs were still in the investigation and classification stage. Nian Shilan didn't pay attention to them, but after knowing this person's background, Nian Shilan also understood the purpose of this person's entry into the palace.

The Queen Mother saw that the strategy of "driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger" in the selection of new talents was useless. In order to help the Queen win her favor, she specially found a substitute Chun Yuan from the Uya family.

Nian Shilan dared to bet that this Rou Dai must look a bit like Empress Chunyuan. She wondered if Concubine Wan would be defeated when she saw her.

Zhen Huan is aloof by nature. When she sees Rou Da Ying, she will definitely misunderstand that she is favored because of her face that looks somewhat like hers. She will be proud that Rou Da Ying is her substitute, but at the same time she will feel disgusted and confront Rou Da Ying. However, after she defeats Rou Da Ying, she finds out that she is also a substitute. It's interesting to think about it.

Rou Da Ying had already gone to the emperor's bedchamber, so naturally she had to pay her respects. After Zhen Huan came back from paying her respects, she was indeed as Nian Shilan had guessed, feeling inexplicably proud and disgusted with Rou Da Ying. However, at this time, because Rou Da Ying was not more favored than her, she felt more proud than disgusted.

But Zhen Huan hadn't broken down yet, but An Lingrong had. Rou agreed to a palace maid, not only did she sleep with him, but she also had a higher title than herself. However, she, a young lady from an official family born in an election, was now completely forgotten by the emperor and had not slept with him in the palace for half a year.

"No, we can't go on like this."

Seeing that An Lingrong was wavering, Baojuan quickly persuaded An Lingrong to join the Queen, "My lady, now even Consort Rou has slept with you. If you don't sleep with her, you will definitely be laughed at by the people in the palace."

"Why don't you go and ask the Empress? As a concubine, it is my duty to serve the mistress. If you ask the Empress for help, I think you won't be looked down upon like you would ask Concubine Wan."

An Lingrong did not say anything. She carefully considered Baojuan's words. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense to her. However, An Lingrong still had doubts about the Empress Baojuan mentioned. After all, she had heard that the new concubine Rou was originally a maid who served the Empress in Jingren Palace.

Therefore, Rou Da Ying was most likely someone pushed forward by the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother really wanted to help herself, she would not have pushed forward this Rou Da Ying.

"Okay, Baojuan, stop talking."

An Lingrong had made up her mind and didn't want to hear Baojuan mention the Queen anymore. She didn't take out her needle and thread until Baojuan left. She had nothing and could only give gifts with her craft. She planned to embroider a double-sided fan for Concubine Hua. Since the Queen had sent Rouying to come, she thought that even if she went to curry favor with her, the Queen might not be interested. It would be better for her to go to Concubine Hua.

Having been in the palace for so long, An Lingrong has heard a lot of news about everyone in the harem. The more she analyzed, the more she admired Concubine Hua. In the entire harem, from top to bottom, almost no one except the Queen said anything bad about Concubine Hua. When most concubines mentioned Concubine Hua, what they were most dissatisfied with was the Emperor's favor, nothing more.

To be the one who is most favored is to be the one who is most hated. Even though Concubine Hua was resentful for having half of the emperor's favor, she could still make everyone in the harem complain only about the favor, without any other words of dissatisfaction. This is enough to prove how noble Concubine Hua's character is.

I just don’t know if Concubine Hua is willing to help me?

An Lingrong was not very confident, but she always had a hunch that Concubine Hua might not be willing to accept her, but she would not refuse to help her sleep with him.
