Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 4
On the fourth day, the triennial draft was over, and the Forbidden City returned to its apparent tranquility.Little did he know the darkness beneath this tranquility.

At five o'clock in the morning, Wanxian followed the nurturing aunt pointed out to her from the inner palace to outside the Shenwu Gate, got on the mule cart and started her journey home.

Although Guarjia Mansion is located in the inner city, it is still far away from the Forbidden City.

At two o'clock in the morning, the mule cart arrived at Gualjia Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the third door in the middle opened wide, welcoming Wanxian into the mansion.

Because from today on, Wanxian is no longer a girl from the Guarjia family.Before receiving the order, Wanxian was a member of the royal family, so she could not enter through any door.

Wanxian has never received such attention from her family since she was a child.She felt a little scared in her heart, fearing that her stepmother would cause trouble and rub her again when she returned to the room.

Before she could react, Gong Zhongzhi's nurturing aunt helped Wanxian enter the house.

After entering the mansion, a large group of servants knelt on the ground and said, "My mistress, good luck. Congratulations to me, my mistress."

After entering her grandmother's longevity hall, Ma Ma took the elders in the family to perform the Wanfu ceremony and said: "My little master is lucky."

Dajili took Wanxian into his arms and said, "Ma Ma's Wanxian is truly the glory of our house."

This is the first time Wanxian has seen Mama holding her and saying so many nice things to her.On weekdays, Ma Ma would not speak to herself, just pretending that she did not exist.

She listened in a daze as Mama and her aunts were talking, and returned to the courtyard of the third room in a daze.

The nanny beside Ma Ma took her into the room of her half-sister Gualjia Langyue.

My sister's room was the room Wanxian envied most when she was little. All the furnishings, devices, vases, etc. in the room were the best ones prepared by her stepmother.It is also what Wanxian longs for but cannot ask for.Because she knew that she was not worthy. This was what her stepmother and those who served her stepmother often said to her as long as she could remember.

I saw Aunt Chang, who was beside Ma Ma, leading Aunt Lian from the palace to the next room to rest.

I saw the Marin family member next to my stepmother and said, "Fourth Miss, please stay here for the next few days and learn the rules from the aunt in the palace. Fourth Miss, please be calm and don't cause anything to happen, which will make everyone look bad." no.

"Aunt Ma, Wanxian understands, Wanxian will be careful. Aunt Ma, Wanxian, Wanxian wants to see, Wanxian wants to see the wet nurse." Wanxian said cautiously.

When it comes to who Wanxian is most afraid of, the first one is the Xiao Jili family, and the second one is the Ma Lin family.

The reason was that when Wanxian was eight years old, she picked up her sister's bracelet on the roadside.When the wet nurse took the bracelet with her and wanted to return it, the stepmother touched her hand, and the Marin family came over and beat the wet nurse.The nanny was beaten until she couldn't straighten up, and she was scolded while beating her.A dirty bitch born with dirty hands and feet, and other dirty words.

Wanxian knew that she was scolding the nanny, but actually she was scolding herself.

"Four girls, please wait a moment, Nurse Gu will be here soon." After saying that, the Marin family went back to find the young lady to recover.

After waiting for a while, the wet nurse arrived.

"Miss. My miss." The nanny hugged Wanxian.

"Nanny, Wanxian is back." Wanxian hugged the wet nurse and cried.While crying, Wanxian told the nanny how she had left a sign and how she behaved in the palace.The nanny also told one by one what happened in the past few days when Wanxian was not in the house.

It turned out that Ma Ma had spoken, and the aunt in the palace was afraid that she would see the joke and send her sister Lang Yue back to her grandmother's house early.Otherwise, with her sister's domineering temperament, how could she let Wanxian live in her house? "How's it going?" Mr. Jili was sitting in the main room and asked when he saw the Marin family coming back.

"Don't worry, you're still like a quail that can't stand on the table, and can't climb to the sky. My young mistress." The Marin family member comforted little Jili.

"I'm still a little worried. Keep an eye on me these days, don't let her dig out flowers for me. If something happens, it won't look good to everyone. After all, what is the view of the empress in the palace, so Even the lowly ones can leave a mark." Xiao Jili said angrily.

"Oh, my young mistress, you can say this. Be careful if others hear it, it's a fool's errand." The Marin family member hurriedly advised her when she heard what her master said was wrong.

"Don't worry. I will keep a close eye on that guy these days." The Marin family member said in a sultry tone.

In the next few days, the Ma Lin family kept their eyes on Wanxian.

Wanxian's life in Guarjia Mansion has been really wonderful these days.

He slept on a canopy bed made of red rosewood and wore silk clothes.They ate meals with fish and meat, and drank tea made from good tea leaves.Ma Ma would send her nanny and maid to bring tea and snacks every two or three hours.

This is the best life she has lived in these 13 years.You don’t have to go to the Buddhist hall to kneel and pray when you get up early, and you don’t have to count Buddha beans at night.

However, she also knew that the good days these days were because the marriage had not yet been decided.

If it's a good family, the mama and stepmother will have to show some good looks.

But if you are from a poor or bad family, it will be a matter of turning your back on them and not recognizing them.

Wanxian also discussed it carefully with the wet nurse in the middle of the night when no one was around. The lives of good people and bad people were the same.It's better than living at home watching your stepmother's face or marrying Jili Lunza.

In the past few days, her stepmother's confidants, the Marin family, have been staring at her.It's just that I'm afraid that I'll cause trouble, but what kind of trouble can I cause?

Wanxian understands her situation, but she is not too afraid now.

If she is not married when she reaches the age, she will take her wet nurse to become a nun.

Wanxian was very grateful for the appearance of Emperor Kangxi on the day of the draft.

She is now in front of the Buddha three times a day, praying to the Buddha for long life and endless life.

After she became a nun and became a nun, she prayed in front of the Buddha day and night for longevity.A true dragon emperor like Long Live Lord should rule the world for thousands of years and live forever.

So Wanxian learned the rules from her nurturing aunt.

……

In this way, the day came to March 25th.
