Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 71 An Bin’s Thoughts

"Everything you said is true." Concubine An sat on the heated kang and asked Nanny Yun who was standing opposite her excitedly.

"I don't dare to hide anything." Aunt Yun didn't hide anything from An Bi. She told everything about Kangxi and Wanxian in the Palace of Qianqing.

"It's been so many years, so many years. I gave birth to a princess to Lord Long Live, but it took a little girl to make Lord Long Live remember me at all." Bu Guiren also asked and answered his own question.

An Bin's heart also sailed through thousands of waves.How glorious it was when I was named the first of the seven concubines by Long Live Lord.But later, among the seven concubines, Hui, Rong, and Yi, who were ranked behind him, became concubines, and Defei and Liangfei also came up from behind.Now I, the concubine An, concubine Duan and concubine Jing are the most embarrassed. I have stayed in the concubine position for 32 years.In this long night in the deep palace, the original unwillingness and pride had long since disappeared.

"No, this is a good thing, a good thing." An Bi was silent for a long time, and after going through the past forty years in her mind, she shouted.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Bu Guiren quickly walked to An Bin and said worriedly.After decades of getting along with each other, the Bugui people have already formed a deep friendship with An Bin.In this deep palace, they live together.

"This is our opportunity, this is our opportunity to reach a higher level." An Bin pulled Bu Guiren and said.

"Now Wanxian just mentioned us in front of Long live Lord, and Wan live rewarded us with something. If Wan Xian becomes more favored in the future, our life will be better." An Bin excitedly held Bu Guiren's hand. said.

When the Bugui people heard An Bin's words, they suddenly realized.Yes, Wanxian's holy favor has passed through many concubines now.If she becomes more favored in the future, it is not impossible for her to become a concubine or concubine.The empress and I have been in the same boat as Wanxian for a long time. In the future, we can also get some light, at least we can see my princess more.

"Empress, my sister listens to you. Whatever you say, my sister will do it." Bu Guiren said eagerly.

"Okay, don't worry." An Bin said calmly.An Bin picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea and said: "Yun Gu, go see what Shugui is doing, and go and help."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Aunt Yun quickly bowed and left.

"Ji Heping, go and prepare some breakfast for Lady Shu. By the way, ask the dining room to prepare more sweet and sour dishes for lunch. Lady Shu likes to eat." An Bin put down the tea cup and faced Ji Heping, who just came in, said.

"Come on, I will tell the imperial chef to go." Ji Heping also quickly ordered people to go.

After seeing that everyone who should leave had left, An Bi waved to the Bugui people.Bu Guiren quickly walked to An Bin, and An Bin whispered to Bu Guiren: "Now, our hope is Wanxian. From tomorrow on, at least one of you and I must follow Wanxian, except Wanxian." Xian is in front of the emperor."

"What does the empress mean?" Bu Guiren was a little confused by An Bin's instructions.

"Wan Xian is protected by the Long Live Lord, so she has nothing to fear. But there are times when the Long Live Lord cannot take care of her. When we protect Wan Xian, we are protecting ourselves. When the time comes, the Long Live Lord will not only look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face, right? For the sake of protecting Wanxian, Lord Long live will also give us some face. With this face from Lord Long live, we can also have some face in this harem." An Bin said to the nobleman Bu.

If you think about it carefully, in this harem, you are already a thing of the past, even though you still have some dignity.But if Long live the Lord leaves one day, he will still have to live his life based on other people's faces.It would be better to rely on Wanxian's favor to find a way out for himself, Bu Guiren and Wanxian.

Yes, An Bin wanted to take advantage of Wanxian, but in the end it was for Wanxian.After all, Long Live Master is getting older, and when the time comes to say no, it will be too late.You must find a way out carefully so that you won't squat in a small room in Shoukang Palace or Shou'an Palace and wait for death.

Bu Guiren also understood the implication of An Bin's words.Yes, I have a princess, but the princess is married far away.In this palace, how can half-brothers and sisters rely on each other?

"Sister, I understand. Don't worry, my queen, my sister will protect Wanxian well." Bu Guiren said with assurance.

In the main hall of Changchun Palace, Concubine An and Ren Bugui discussed tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival again.

In the Yiqing Library in the back hall, the waiters were being turned around by Wanxian's command.

"Put all the silks, satins, brocades and other cloths that the Long Live Lord rewarded in the warehouse." Wanxian said, looking at the cloths piled on the kang.

"Hey." The four little eunuchs hurriedly carried the cloth to the warehouse.

Wanxian lit the jewelry and said, "Take all the jewelry into the jewelry box."

"My servant knows." Yunxia quickly asked Caixia to pick up the jewelry and put it away.Then he came to Wanxian and said: "Little Master, why is there a painting in the reward of Long Live Lord? What is this painting?" "Quickly, give me the painting." Wanxian remembered that it was Long live Lord. 's portrait, he said quickly.

Yunxia quickly picked up the painting and handed it to Wanxian.Wanxian took the picture and walked to the bed, placing the portrait next to the pillow, thinking that she could see Long live the Lord at any time.

"Little Master, where will the servants put the ornaments and other items of the Lord Long Live?" Yun Xia asked when she saw Wanxian sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

Yun Xia was glad that her aunt went to Qianqing Palace when her little master went to it these days.Otherwise, Caixia and the others would snatch away the first palace maid beside her.After these few days of training, Yunxia also understood the rules.When I see my mistress come back today, I have to behave well so that my mistress will allow me to serve him closely.

Wanxian was lost in thought about everything she had with Long Live Lord. When she heard Yunxia talking, she hurriedly asked: "Yunxia, ​​come here. I haven't taken a good look at you when I came back. Is your injury healed?"

Yunxia hurriedly walked to Wanxian, knelt down and said, "My little master, my servant is fine. I will serve my little master well in the future." After saying that, she knelt on the ground and pressed Wanxian's legs.

"That's good. I'm not here these days, and you have worked hard. Let's reward each of you with a tael of silver later." Wanxian felt that it was not easy to be a slave in the palace.So even though he himself was not rich, he still often gave some subsidies to the palace ladies and eunuchs who served him.

"Slave, thank you for the reward, little master." Yunxia said quickly.Caixia and the other three palace maids were also very happy and hurriedly walked to Wanxian to bow and thank her.

Xiao Yuanzi was a little confused when he came in with the other three eunuchs.When Yunxia saw it, she hurriedly said: "You four haven't come in to thank me, but the mistress has spoken. He said that each of us will be rewarded with one tael of silver." The four young eunuchs quickly entered the inner room to bow to Wanxian and thank her. .

Grandma Yun saw this scene when she came in, so she joked: "Hey, what's going on? They're all kneeling? Could it be that my mistress has rewarded you with something good?"

"Mommy, you are right. They have worked hard these days. Let's give each of them one tael of silver." Wanxian answered when she saw Aunt Yun speaking.

"The young master is still generous. Okay, after receiving the silver reward, you have to do your errands well. Everyone is busy, the young master hasn't had breakfast yet." Grandma Yun said, leaving Yun Xia and the others to go about their business.

"My young master, take a rest first. Eunuch Ji has gone to prepare breakfast. I will sort out the items that the Long Live Lord has given me." Grandma Yun said to Wanxian again.

"Okay, let grandma make the decision. After breakfast, I want to lie down for a while." Wanxian nodded and said.

"Hey, I'll go take a look." Grandma Yun said and walked out.

Let’s talk about Qianqing Palace.

After Kangxi came to court, he was busy dealing with major affairs in the court. After he came down from court, he walked into the Palace of Qianqing.I felt that the Qianqing Palace was empty, inexplicably less popular and more deserted.It's just one person missing, so why is the difference so big?Yesterday, when I went to court, the little girl came up to me to salute and say hello.

"Liang Jiugong hasn't come back yet?" Kangxi stepped into the main hall of Qianqing Palace and asked when he didn't see Liang Jiugong.

"Long live Lord Qi, General Manager Liang hasn't come back yet." Wei Zhu replied quickly.

Kangxi didn't say anything after hearing this, and went into the Xinuan Pavilion minding his own business.

The furnishings in Xinuan Pavilion are still the same as yesterday.It's just that the owner is not here, so it's a bit empty.But I still saw a familiar face, a palace maid kneeling on the ground.

"I remember your name is Qiaoguo? Why are you still here?" Kangxi said while sitting on the heated kang.

"As far as I'm concerned, the slave is a clever fruit. Eunuch Liang said that he should keep the slave in the Xi Nuan Pavilion until the noble lady comes back in a few days, so he can still serve the noble lady."

"He must be smart, okay. You can stay here. I will bring Shugui back in a few days." After saying that, he stepped out of the West Nuan Pavilion and entered the Dong Nuan Pavilion.
