Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 43: Palace gossip
After Kangxi finished speaking, Wanxian bowed and went to the small room to dress up, hoping to return to Changchun Palace while the sun was not shining.

Yunxia helped Wanxian out of the gate of Qianqing Palace. Just as she was about to get on the chariot, she saw Wei Zhu chasing out with eight or nine little eunuchs carrying boxes, and another little eunuch holding a fish tank.

"My lord Shu, please wait a moment, my lord Shu, wait a minute." Wei Zhu quickly went out of the palace gate and called to Wanxian.

Wanxian quickly stood there waiting for Wei Zhu.

After Wei Zhu left the palace gate from Wanxian, he quickly led the young eunuchs and ran after Wanxian.

"My lord Shu, these are the items and pieces of cloth that the Lord Long Live rewarded you with. I thought that your noble man was short of manpower, so I asked these little eunuchs to help carry them back to Changchun Palace. Manager Liang specially sent his servants to give you a reply. , I originally wanted to ask the embroiderer from the weaving department to tailor the clothes for you, but I didn’t expect that I have been busy in the past few days. Therefore, it is better to ask the nobles to return to Changchun Palace before cutting the clothes. In addition, Manager Liang also asked I would like to remind you that there is a rare brocade in this cloth, which is specially rewarded by Lord Long Live. If you wear it next time when Your Majesty sees you, Lord Long Live will definitely be happy when you see it." Wei Zhu said respectfully.

Although Wei Zhu was not as popular as Liang Jiugong in front of the Long Live Lord, he was the second most respectable eunuch in the Qianqing Palace.Naturally, he knew the importance of this noble lady in front of Long Live Lord after what happened yesterday.Moreover, even an old man like Liang Jiugong knew that he must not fall behind if he wanted to please this noble lady.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Wei. I actually forgot about the things that Lord Long Live rewarded me with. What's that fish tank?" Wanxian looked at the box carried by the little eunuch, and then she remembered that Lord Long Live had rewarded her with many things.I was thinking about what Wei Zhu had just said, and wanted to ask someone to cut my clothes after returning to the palace so that I could wear them for Lord Long Live.He asked as he saw the fish tank held by the little eunuch again.

"The fish tank was thought of by Lord Long Live when he was about to go to court. He said that the nobleman liked it yesterday and asked my servant to bring the fish tank back to the palace for the nobleman. Look, noble Lord, Lord Long Live has taken your noble heart to heart." Wei Zhu said Then he remembered what happened in Xinuang Pavilion just now.

After Long Live Master changed his clothes, he was about to go out to go to court when he saw the goldfish tank next to the multi-treasure rack and said: "Shu noble likes this goldfish. I will send it to Changchun Palace to relieve her boredom."

This was the first time that Wei Zhu had seen Lord Long live paying attention to such trivial matters in all the years he had been with him.Even when Long live the Lord was young, he never cared about these little things when dealing with the ladies in various palaces.Wei Zhu was increasingly concerned about this noble lady.

"Oh, my embroidered handkerchief is still in the Xinuan Pavilion. Please ask Eunuch Wei to help me take it out." Wanxian listened to what Wei Zhu said and thought about how grateful Long Live Lord took care of her.Suddenly I remembered the goldfish embroidered handkerchief that I had half embroidered yesterday, and I promised to give it to the Long Live Lord after I finished it.He hurriedly asked Wei Zhu to go to Xinuang Pavilion to take it out.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I asked Qiao Guo to pack it up and put it in the box early in the morning." Wei Zhu quickly replied.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Wei." Wanxian gratefully gave Wei Zhu a blessing ceremony.

"I don't dare to do this, I don't dare to do this. How can a slave deserve the courtesy of a nobleman." Seeing Wanxian salute, Wei Zhu quickly helped Wanxian and said.I was thinking in my heart, let's see, this back and forth is not a matter of affection.

"Your Majesty, you'd better get on the chariot quickly. If the sun is getting strong, it won't be good if you get tanned. I will help you get on the chariot." Wei Zhu said and helped Wanxian get on the chariot.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Wei." Wanxian was helped by Wei Zhu and sat on the chariot. She nodded her thanks and called out again: "Yunxia." Concubine An has taught you that if you have the opportunity, you should reward more people in Qianqing Palace. Especially Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Wei.

Seeing Wanxian's signal, Yunxia quickly took out a purse from her waist and handed it to Wei Zhu, saying in a low voice: "I would like to invite my father-in-law to tea for this thoughtful idea. Please don't dislike it."

"I don't dare to take this seriously. I'd better ask Miss Yunxia to put it away. There is no need for a nobleman to reward you. Your good days are still to come." Wei Zhu declined.joke.If you accept it now, you won't be showing any mercy at all.

Seeing Wei Zhu's repeated refusal, Yunxia didn't know what to do and looked at Wanxian.

Wanxian didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Wanxian's master and servant were speechless, Wei Zhu hurriedly said to Wanxian: "It's better to ask your noble lord to go back to the palace first. The sun is getting worse." After Wei Zhu ordered the servants, he said: "Hurry up and get up from the sedan chair. , take the noble man back to the palace. You must be careful. If anything happens to the noble man, be careful of your skin. Get up from the sedan chair quickly."

Two powerful eunuchs quickly and carefully raised the chariot.Wanxian didn't know what to say to Wei Zhu, so she could only say: "Thank you so much, father-in-law, Wanxian."

After finishing speaking, he sat down in the chariot and set off back to Changchun Palace.On the way back to Changchun Palace, Wanxian was sitting on the chariot.

Yunxia and Xiaotuanzi were followed on both sides, and a group of people were walking behind the chariot.

The palace people walking beside him quickly saluted.Several palace maids chatted after seeing the chariot passing by.

"Who is this young master? What a grand ceremony."

"You don't know, this is Long Live Lord's newly crowned Gualja nobleman."

"What a noble person is Guarjia, haven't you heard of me? Lord Long Live gave me the title, and now I am a noble person."

"Really? It's so majestic." "I heard that Long live the Lord gave Chang Zai the status when he entered the palace. After the first time he stayed in bed, he was promoted to a noble person. This second time he stayed in the palace, he got a title."

"Then this noble lady is really favored."

"I heard that this noble lady entered Qianqing Palace the day before yesterday evening and just returned to Changchun Palace today."

"Really? How shameful this is."

"That's because I heard about this noble man..."

Several little palace maids were walking and talking.

When the servants in the surrounding palaces saw this, they all returned to their palaces to report to their master.

Ever since Wanxian was left in Qianqing Palace by Kangxi yesterday, the empresses and mistresses of each palace got the news.

All kinds of news suddenly filled the harem, and people in the harem had long wanted to meet this newly minted noble lady.

All the respectable empresses and nobles in the harem have already been snooping around.

Several people can't wait for the morning meeting at Chengqian Palace tomorrow, the first day of August, to take a closer look at this noble lady.

Staying in Qianqing Palace during the day is a great honor and face. What kind of beauty can make Long Live Lord love her so much?

The spies from each palace were waiting near the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the news to come out as to whether this noble lady would still stay in the Qianqing Palace to accompany him.

When the palace people reported back, this noble lady was carrying many rewards from the Long Live Lord on her back.How many furnishings were damaged?

Even An Bin and Bu Guiren didn't expect Wanxian to be so favored.Ever since the news came out yesterday that Wanxian stayed in Qianqing Palace during the day, An Bin and Bu Guiren have been worried about Wanxian.

As the saying goes, the first bird will be shot.Originally, Wanxian was a bit conspicuous when she entered the palace and was granted the title of Chang Zai, but at least she never gained favor after entering the palace.But he never thought that he would go out to pick lotus seeds and meet the Long Live Lord. The Long Live Lord also ordered Liang Jiugong to send Wan Xian back in person.This time, when he came back from his bedtime service, he was promoted to a higher position and that was all.But I didn't expect that this second time, I would be banned again before I went to bed. It was not a big deal at first.After all, it's just a noble person with a title, and it's possible for Long Live Master to do it on a whim.

But yesterday morning, Concubine An and Guiren Bu were still waiting for Wanxian to return to the palace so that they could ask about the cause and effect.It was also reported that Long Live Lord kept Wanxian in Xinuang Pavilion during the day.

It was a big deal to stay in the Qianqing Palace during the day. At that time, only Empress Renxiao (Empress Hesheli of the Yuan Dynasty) was alive and stayed for a few days when the emperor was ill. No other concubine had ever stayed in the Qianqing Palace during the day. .

This matter has attracted the attention of many people.

Nowadays, when you are favored, it is a favor, but if you lose favor one day, it will be a serious sin.If you want to inflict a crime, there is no need to say anything. People's words are terrible.

Before, Concubine An and Lady Bu were still thinking about Wanxian, so they would slowly take care of her a few times, recuperate her body, and have someone to rely on for their heirs.

Who would have thought that it would be such a great favor? The emperor's favor came and went quickly.

Concubine An and Bu Guiren have also been through it year after year since they were young. The emperor's favor sometimes acts as a reminder of life.An Bin and Bu Guiren were so worried.

There are still some people who are just waiting to watch the show. These people have long stopped looking forward to the favor of Lord Long Live. These people understand that no one can say how long Lord Long Live will live when he is old.

It's possible that he might die tomorrow, but in the final analysis, it still depends on the future.

Even if Long Live Lord is still alive, this favor will be gone forever.

Flowers don’t last a hundred days, and people don’t last a thousand days.There are many examples in this palace of beauties fading before they grow old.
