Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 93 Wanxian’s worries

This morning, Wanxian got up early to freshen up and dress up, thinking about welcoming the nanny with her best face.

"Yunxia, ​​have you tidied the house yet?" Wanxian sat in front of the dressing table and put the gold-plated and gem-embedded tourmaline flower hairpins given to her by Kangxi on her two heads. She also picked up the silver hairpin with phoenix pattern given by the nanny. The hairpin is on the edge of the gem flower hairpin.

"Little Master, the servants have already been cleaned by them. We are just waiting for your wet nurse to arrive and move in." Yunxia replied while packing up the dressing utensils.

"That's good, wait until the nanny arrives. I'll have someone prepare the items she likes." Wanxian stood up and thought of waiting at the door.

By chance, Grandma Yun came from the front hall to the back hall and invited Wanxian to have a meal in the front hall.Seeing Wanxian standing blankly at the door.Then he saluted and said, "Hey, my lady, it's still early at this time. Eunuch Liang sent someone to send a message just now, saying that he just set off. You have to wait patiently for an hour. Please, Madam." You go and have your breakfast, I will support you." After saying that, Aunt Yun came forward to support Wanxian.

Wanxian nodded and led Yunxia to the front hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, Concubine An and Guiren Bu were already sitting at the dining table.

Seeing Wanxian coming, Lord Bu quickly stood up to salute and say hello.

Wanxian quickly stepped forward and supported Bu Guiren.Said: "Sister Bu, please don't be too polite. This is very disrespectful. Why is this between us?"

Bugui is still a little worried. If this spreads out, others will say that he does not understand etiquette.

An Bin saw Bu Guiren's concerns and said: "Wanxian is right, the bond between us lies here. We can feel more comfortable in our own palace. Everyone sit down, let us have a good time Have a meal.”

Both Wanxian and Bu Guiren obeyed An Bin's instructions and sat on either side of An Bin, one on the left and the other on the right.The three of them ate their meals harmoniously.

After Concubine An drank a bowl of porridge, she said to Wanxian: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs made up for your concubine status yesterday."

Wanxian put down her chopsticks and said, "Yes, all the quotas have been made up. I also brought two new maids and two eunuchs. However, Eunuch Qian, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said that Long live the Lord has given orders. Don't assign them yet. Chief eunuch, come down."

"Since it's the order from Lord Long Live, it has its own reasons. Just give orders to Ji Heping." An Bin pointed at Ji Heping who was guarding the side.

Wanxian nodded and said, "Yes."

"By the way, your wet nurse's house has been prepared. This is a big show of honor. Among all the imperial concubines, only the imperial concubine comes with her wet nurse. Now you also have this dignity. This shows your importance in front of the Long Live Lord."

The Bugui people also started talking.Wanxian happily replied: "I'm not doing it for the sake of face. Now the only thing I care about is the nanny. As long as the nanny is by my side, I will be satisfied. I won't be afraid of anything in the future."

"Speaking of your nanny entering the palace, I have an idea. After all, your nanny is a commoner entering the palace, and you also know the rules in the palace. When your nanny comes into the palace, first let Aunt Yun take care of herself. After she has been taught the rules, you can take her out again." An Bin warned her carefully.

"What the empress said is that Wanxian should obey the orders of the empress. Let the wet nurse learn the rules first." Wanxian felt that what An Bin said was very reasonable. She should let the wet nurse learn the rules of the palace first.

"You are right to think so. Let's have a meal." An Bin was very satisfied with Wanxian's answer and said hurriedly.

For a while, after the three of them had breakfast, they sat on the heated kang in the inner room.While talking about homely matters, she was waiting for Wanxian's nanny.But after waiting for more than an hour, there was still no movement outside the palace gate, so Wanxian became a little anxious.

Wanxian quickly told Yunxia: "Yunxia, ​​go and wait in front of the palace gate. If you see a figure on the corridor, come in and tell me."

Yunxia quickly accepted the order, bowed and walked to the gate of Changchun Palace.

"Don't worry, maybe your wet nurse has to pack some things. Maybe there is something else that may have delayed her." Bu Guiren sat next to Wanxian, took Wanxian's hand and comforted her.

"Perhaps so. It was six o'clock in the morning when we just had dinner. Now it's almost eight o'clock in the morning, so I'm inevitably a little anxious." Wanxian felt better after hearing Bu Guiren's comfort.I just thought in my heart, how could the wet nurse have such things to pack in that home?

The three of them sat and waited for another half an hour, but still no one came to the palace gate to report.

Wanxian was really anxious.After hurriedly getting off the warm bed and putting on his shoes, he saluted Concubine An and Lord Bu and said, "I'd better go to the palace gate and keep watch. I won't arrive. I'm afraid I won't be able to get off." After saying that, he hurriedly He walked to the main hall and the palace gate.

"It's because I'm young and can't hold my breath." An Bin shook her head and said.Bu Guiren also said: "Hey, if it's a concubine, I'll be anxious too. It's time to discuss things, right?"

"That's all, let's just wait here." An Bin said helplessly.

Wanxian walked behind the palace gate and looked at both sides of the corridor, but she still didn't see her familiar figure.Wanxian rubbed her handkerchief in a low mood and walked back and forth.

After listening to Concubine An's instructions, Grandma Yun quickly asked the young eunuch to bring a grand master's chair and placed it in front of the palace gate for Wanxian to sit down and rest.

Wanxian sat on the chair and silently looked at the corridor in front of her.

Wanxian waited and waited until after five quarters, Yunxia suddenly shouted loudly: "Coming, coming. My dear, look, Eunuch Liang is coming with a small sedan."

Having said that, Wanxian quickly stood up and looked towards the corridor.Sure enough, not far away, Liang Jiugong led a small sedan for two people.

Wanxian was very happy and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

After Liang Jiugong saw Wanxian, he hurriedly greeted Wanxian and said, "Concubine Shu, long blessings. Concubine, please don't be anxious and don't get angry. Long live the Lord also knows about it and has asked the slave to ask for the imperial doctor, who will be here soon."

Wanxian was stunned when she heard what Liang Jiugong said.What does it mean not to be in a hurry to get angry? What does it mean to invite an imperial doctor?What exactly is going on.Thinking like this, Liang Jiugong asked the servant next to him to lift the sedan curtain.

Only then did Wanxian get a clear look at the nanny she hadn't seen for half a year.Wanxian started crying: "Nanny, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you." Wanxian rushed forward as she said that.

After Grandma Yun quickly grabbed Wanxian, she ordered the eunuch and maid guarding the door. "What's the matter? Hurry up and carry the wet nurse into the room. Quick, quick, quick. Yunxia, ​​please help Mistress Shu."

As she said this, Yunxia and Hongxia helped Wanxian, whose feet were weak, and a group of people took Nanny Gu out of the sedan chair and carried her to the servants' room in the back hall.

Aunt Yun quickly walked to the main hall to report back to Concubine An and Lord Bu.

An Bin and Bu Guiren also heard Wanxian's cries in the palace, and for a moment they didn't know why they were there.After listening to Grandma Yun's reply, she quickly got off the heated kang, put on her shoes and walked to the back hall.

Ji Heping listened to Liang Jiugong's explanation while waiting for the imperial doctor.

As soon as the imperial doctor arrived, he led the imperial doctor and Liang Jiugong to the servant's room.

In the servant's room, Wanxian firmly held the nanny's hand.The servant's room was cramped, and Concubine An and Gui Bu who were inside persuaded Wanxian when the imperial doctor arrived. Seeing that Wanxian refused to listen, they had no choice but to leave the room.Listening to Liang Jiugong and Ji Heping's reports outside.

Wanxian sat in front of the bed and watched the imperial doctor taking the wet nurse's pulse.

After a long while, the imperial doctor reported back: "Dear Concubine Shu, I see that this nanny's injury seems to have been caused by a severe beating. All the internal organs are damaged. The inside may need to be recuperated, and external application and internal administration are needed. Take a good rest.”

"According to the doctor, how long will it take to nurse her back to health?" Wanxian looked at the wet nurse with swollen faces on the bed and asked the doctor sadly.

"Mommy's injury needs to be taken good care of. If not taken care of well, it may affect her lifespan." Doctor Zhang said truthfully.

"Then ask the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine." Aunt Yun entered the room following An Bin's order and said.

"Yes, Wei Chen will go down and prescribe the medicine first." Doctor Zhang said, and then left to prescribe the medicine.

Seeing that Wanxian was sad, Aunt Yun quickly advised her, "Master Shu, don't worry. There is no good medicine in this palace, and your wet nurse will be cured. The left and right wet nurses are not awake yet, so I will help you back to the palace first." The slave will ask someone to guard here until the nanny wakes up, and then let someone report."

Wanxian shook her head and kept holding the nanny's hand and said, "Mommy, I'm fine. You all can go out. I'll just stay here with the nanny."

Grandma Yun had no choice but to let Yun Xia serve here while she went out to report to Concubine An.
