Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 9 Meeting An Bin for the first time
The little eunuch hurriedly went in to pass the news.After a while, the curtain of the room was raised, and it was Grandma Yun and Eunuch Ji who came out.

"Why are you here so early, little master? I even said that I would pick up little master Chang Zai later. Master, please come in quickly. Your Majesty is waiting in the main room." Ji Heping said quickly.

Wanxian listened to Eunuch Ji's words and entered the palace.

I saw a person sitting on the throne in the center of the main room. I saw An Bin, with a delicate and kind face.

There are only some fine lines at the corners of the eyes, and uninformed people would think she is a young woman in her thirties.Who knew he was already fifty years old?

She is wearing a pure blue palace dress, a emerald diamond on her head, and three emerald earrings on each ear.What a graceful beauty.

When Wanxian saw her, she knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Slave, Guarjia has met Empress An, and wishes her good health and long life."

Wanxian sincerely thanked An Bin. She had never seen her house look so good.

I heard from Yunxia and the others that their house was specially arranged by Concubine An. The east and west wing rooms were originally occupied by concubines. Concubine An specifically ordered the concubines to move them away, leaving them as a warehouse for her and for the palace maids who served her.

Besides, I heard from the wet nurse that after entering the palace, you should please the queen of the throne, so that you can live a good life in the future.

Wanxian thought and kowtowed again.

"Get up, get up, why are you giving such a heavy salute? Help her up." Seeing Wanxian's heavy salute, Concubine An hurriedly asked the people around her to help her up.

Aunt Yun hurriedly helped Wanxian up.

"Bring a chair quickly and ask Guarjia to sit down." Concubine An ordered when Wanxian got up.

Eunuch Ji moved a chair from the side.

"It's okay, this is the courtesy that I should do. I want to thank you, your empress, for arranging your house with all your heart. When I was at home, I never thought that I would have such a good house. This is something I never dreamed of. ." Wanxian said sincerely after being pushed down on the chair by Granny Yun. "Haha, I just gave a few instructions. They were all done by slaves. I don't deserve your gratitude." Listening to Wanxian's words, An Bin was obviously delighted, and asked with concern: "If you still If you are missing something, just come and tell me, or tell Aunt Yun and Ji Heping the same thing. How old are you? When is your birthday? What is your rank in the family? How many people are there in the family? Just sit down and answer, no need. Stand up"

Wanxian saw An Bin asking questions and was about to stand up to reply. Then she heard An Bin said that there was no need to stand up to answer, so she hurriedly said: "This slave is thirteen this year, and his birthday is February 43. The family is not divided, and girls, Ranked fourth. There are [-] members of the clan in the family."

"Look at my memory, please serve tea, snacks and candied fruits to Chang Zai." Seeing Wanxian's sincerity, Concubine An felt a little fondness and pity for her, and asked again: "How do you always do this?" What are you doing? Even though you are in the palace now, what you do at home can be done the same here."

"When I'm at home, I recite Buddhist sutras in the morning and evening, and do some embroidery during the day. I heard that the empress worships Buddha all day long, so I can recite sutras with her." Wanxian said honestly, not daring to deceive An Bin.

"Nonsense, how can your children recite sutras at home, without fear of changing their temperament." When Concubine An saw that Wanxian said she liked to recite sutras, she was a little unhappy, thinking that Wanxian was just saying flattering words to flatter her.The words were a little harsh.

Wanxian was a little scared when she heard Concubine An's harsh words. She immediately knelt down and said, "I don't dare to lie to your empress. There is a Buddhist hall in my home. I spend most of the day kneeling in the Buddhist hall to pray and pick up Buddha beans. Servant I can recite the Buddha's Amitabha Sutra, Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra, etc. I don't dare to lie to the empress. When I'm at home, I recite sutras in the Buddhist hall at Mao. If the empress doesn't believe it, I will recite a scripture to the empress."

"That's all, you get up first." Seeing that Wanxian was frightened and kneeling on the ground trembling, An Bin felt a little soft-hearted because she was still a child.Seeing that Wanxian was so steadfast in her oath and knew the names of so many scriptures, she became somewhat convinced.

"I don't recite sutras as early as Mao hour. If you like to recite sutras, you can come to the Buddhist hall to recite sutras at three quarters of Chen hour."

"Slave, I understand." Wanxian sat on the chair and replied with some fear.

"You are young, but you are now considered the emperor's woman, and you are also a master in this palace. Regarding the public, I am the empress of the Changchun Palace. On a personal note, to be honest, my age I'm afraid being your mammy is enough. Therefore, I have this responsibility to take care of you and teach you. You understand." Concubine An touched the beads in her hand and looked at Wanxian seriously and said.

"Wanxian, I understand. Please give me more guidance," Wanxian replied, holding the handkerchief.

"Just like now, you can't call yourself a slave in front of me, but you have to call me a concubine. The word slave can only be called a slave in front of the Queen Mother and Lord Long Live. You can call yourself a little master or I am always here in front of a slave. You understand. .You are still young, I will teach you slowly from now on." An Bin taught.

"Yes, I know," Wanxian said.
