“These days, several young ladies will temporarily live in the Palace of Peace and Harmony. There are several maids and eunuchs in the palace. If there are any trivial matters, they can be handed over to the servants to handle.”
After entering the palace, Ah Wu and others did not see any noble master of the palace. Instead, they were led by a nanny to a palace, which was also where they would live for a period of time.
The Palace of Peace and Harmony is located in a remote area in the harem, and it is far away from the front palace where the emperor and the princes live.
It could greatly reduce the chances of these young ladies who entered the palace to participate in the selection of the princess’ companion to contact men from outside, and at the same time, it also dispelled the idea of some women to climb up the dragon and attach themselves to the phoenix.
This time when entering the palace, no one was allowed to bring their maids from home.
Ah Wu looked around and saw the palace maids and eunuchs who would be used to serving them as described by the nanny.
It was obvious that there were only a few of them, not enough to equip everyone present with a servant. It was more like they were shared by everyone.
Ah Wu didn’t care, as she was not used to being served. But other people who noticed this didn’t think so.
“I have been a light sleeper since I was a child. I am not used to sleeping with others. Please arrange a separate room for me.”
Ah Wu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a scarlet silk dress step forward, holding her head high, with arrogance on her face.
She was the granddaughter of a prince of the royal family. Because she was born in the legitimate branch, she was appointed as the county lady not long after she was born.
No wonder she had the confidence to boss around a managing nanny in the palace.
Because of the girl’s words, there was a commotion in the courtyard.
The lowest-ranking people present were all daughters of fifth-rank officials in the capital. They had their own courtyards since they were young and were served by a group of servants. Who could get used to sharing a room with others?
The county lady’s request just now reminded them that not only were there few servants in the Palace of Peace and Harmony, but there were also very few rooms.
With so many young ladies present who came to the palace to participate in the selection, they would inevitably have to share a room with others.
“These were all arranged by the noble masters long ago. I dare not make my own decisions.”
The nanny rejected the request of the county lady neither servilely nor arrogantly. She even mentioned the noble master to suppress the county lady’s arrogance, which made the county lady a little embarrassed.
However, this was the palace after all, so the other party did not dare to make a fuss. She could only hold her nose and accept the grievance.
The main hall of the Palace of Peace and Harmony was the most spacious, so each room was arranged to accommodate three to four young ladies.
The rooms in the side halls on the left and right were relatively small, and almost each room was arranged to accommodate two people.
Ah Wu’s luck was neither good nor bad.
Fortunately, she was the only one among all the people present who had a room to herself.
Unfortunately, the room she lived in was originally a storage room used by a beauty to store out-of-season clothes. The room was not big, and the roof was leaking. Even if one person had a room to herself, it would not make the person happy.
Of course, how did the people present know that there were so many problems in that single small room?
It was because, during the move-in process, several young eunuchs from the Internal Construction Department appeared in the Palace of Peace and Harmony with repair tools. They also got this information from the young eunuchs.
After learning that there were so many problems with Ah Wu’s independent residence, the jealous eyes that originally surrounded her suddenly disappeared.
Ah Wu was very satisfied with her residence.
Although the room was old and damaged, the young eunuchs from the Internal Construction Department had already dealt with these problems.
The small room and simple interior decoration were not problems at all in Ah Wu’s eyes.
She was not a spoiled person, nor was she like those spoiled young ladies who had been living in luxury since childhood, wearing only silk and satin, and living in only a golden and silver house.
