Concubine Ning of the Wu family of Kangxi

Chapter 43

Wu Anning led Yun Ping out from Qianqing Palace, and just stepped into the entrance of the harem.

I saw a little eunuch squatting on the side of the head.

"The slave pays respects to Lord Wu."

Seeing the young eunuch who was born in front of him, Wu Anning hesitated slightly and said: "Wai Li, you are..."

The little eunuch hurriedly bowed and said, "My slave Ningshou Palace Xu Fu has seen the nobleman."

The little eunuch of Ningshou Palace, the empress dowager?

Wu Anning asked: "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

The little eunuch said: "The queen mother asks the young master to go over and talk."

It's asking, not Xuan... no, no matter how favored she is, it's nothing to the queen mother, so why use asking?What's more, using such a small eunuch to come here is not like inviting or announcing people at all.

Wu Anning couldn't help but think of the little eunuch who led her to Zhongcui Palace...

Is it another conspiracy?
Wu Anning glanced at Yun Ping, Yun Ping shook his head slightly.Wu Anning glanced ahead, fortunately she was allowed to come out from Longfu Gate, opposite to Yongshou Palace.

"Grandpa Xu, wait a moment."

The little eunuch didn't seem to be in a hurry, seeing Yun Ping arrived at the gate of the back hall of Yongshou Palace, he called out Fulu and Liuquan Sanan to follow, without any excuses.

Wu Anning's heart settled down.

This time, she was probably thinking too much.

What would happen if Wu Aning, who had an innocent disaster once, met such an unreasonable little eunuch again?The first reaction is of course to refuse, she is being favored now, what will happen if you say that this matter is weird?
But this is definitely not a good way, other concubines can recruit each other, but this time it is the queen mother.

If he shirks, he will hate the queen mother. The emperor respects the mother-in-law and the queen mother very much. Wu Anning is not proud of being favored, but serving her pet unfilially. At that time, no matter how much Kangxi likes her, he has to completely neglect her.

What's more, Kangxi really likes to dote on Wu Anning now, but Wu Anning knows in his heart that it's not to the extent that he can't give up.

As long as the queen mother is really evil, she will spend so many days trying to keep her pet in vain.

Wu Anning didn't know the result of the last black hand, because it must have been dealt with by Kangxi, but Wu Anning disappeared in the harem for a short period of time, as long as he searched carefully, he could always find something.

Especially Concubine De, the little eunuch in her palace sent Wu Anning back to Chuxiu Palace but died inexplicably in a pond near Zhongcui Palace... Wu Anning even suspected that Concubine De might have guessed the truth about her being selected into the harem...

Concubine De could not have been the one who harmed her at the beginning, but who knows if she will use what she knows this time to plot her falling out of favor... But Concubine De has not been showing any signs of performance these days. Shit, she absolutely can't do it!

It's not Concubine De, who is that?

Wu Anning had a hunch that if it was really the Queen Mother who summoned her this time, and only sent such a small eunuch, she must have known that she was lucky for Kangxi before she was selected. I am afraid that it might be the black hands who escaped to rearrange... …

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wu Anning involuntarily took a deep breath.

Don't worry, she will catch him out.

Yun Ping was originally transferred from the side hall near Ningshou Palace, and she is the most familiar with the route of Ningshou Palace. Yun Ping didn't show anything along the way, so her guess was correct.

This time, the Queen Mother really summoned her, but she was used by someone who wanted Wu Anning to destroy the Great Wall herself.

Time passed slowly, and in the afternoon, Wu Anning and his party arrived at Ningshou Palace without incident.

Ningshou Palace was very lively, except for Concubine Hui, all the four concubines were there.

After receiving the notification, Wu Anning calmly walked into the Ningshou Palace, and the Ningshou Palace became quiet.She thought that the black hand this time was likely to be in the Ningshou Palace, otherwise it would not have affected the Empress Dowager to use a young eunuch to announce her.

Empress Dowager Xiaohui Borzigit has just passed forty, and she is still a relatively young old man. Because of the pampering these years, she doesn't want to look four or five years younger than her actual age due to other things.

The queen mother looks ordinary, but she is very kind. It can be seen that she was relatively docile when she was young.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has really bothered for Shunzhi. After the abolition of Shunzhi, she is the pearl of the grassland. She is a rare beauty. Shunzhi dismisses and likes Dong E and Tong Jia, who are just little beauties. Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also understands Yes, her son likes docile women, so she chose Empress Dowager Xiaohui to enter the palace as a concubine, and later became a queen.

"My concubine pays her respects to the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed."

The Empress Dowager was smiling when Wu Anning entered the door. Seeing that Wu Anning had invited her, she hurriedly said, "Get up, come closer and let Ai's family take a look." She spoke in Manchu.

The queen mother can speak some Chinese, but there are only a few everyday words. This was learned with some expectation before marrying Shunzhi, but it was useless to learn it later. Shunzhi had never seen her, so she put her mind at ease.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, she often spoke Mongolian on weekdays, and Kangxi had to follow the Mongolian language when she came here. As time passed, she didn't need to learn Chinese that she didn't like.

It seems that the first impression of Wu Anning was good today, she spoke Manchu.In her mind, Wu Anning might understand Manchu, but she definitely couldn't understand Mongolian.However, the empress dowager's well-meaning idea was biased. Wu Anning was the daughter of a small official in the Han army banner, and she lived in the range of all Han people since she was a child. Lesson preparation.

Just when everyone was about to watch Wu Anning's joke, Wu Anning got up obediently and walked to the Queen Mother.

It is true that the daughters of officials in the south and west of the Han Army Banner will not be taught Manchu, but Wu Anning is different. She knows some basic Manchu and learned it temporarily. ) taught.

About three steps before the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, she blessed herself again and invited Ann, speaking Manchu at this moment.

Empress Dowager Xiaohui looked at Wu Anning, she looked really good-looking, and she was also very energetic, not like Dong E's gentle and virtuous look.

"Get up, don't be too polite, Ai's family came to see you today, because Concubine Yi said that you prepared a prairie screen for Ai's family that you embroidered yourself?"

Wu Anning was a bit tragic, she could speak Manchu, but now she had too many words, and she couldn't understand some of them.She felt that she seemed smart but was misled by her cleverness. It would be better if she said that she didn't understand at the beginning.

But she understands embroidery, Yifei and so on.

Just thinking about how to answer this, Concubine Xi suddenly said to Wu Anning: "The Queen Mother heard from Concubine Yi, did you prepare a prairie screen for the Queen Mother that you embroidered yourself?"

Wu Anning fully understood, she couldn't hide the matter of screen embroidery at all, Wu Anning was favored, and every move of Yongshou Palace was particularly eye-catching. Can't find out.

But the screen is too big, Wu Anning also finished a small piece, and asked people to measure the size, so it is difficult for everyone to know.

It's just that she didn't expect Concubine Yi to poke it out. This screen was originally intended to be handed over to Concubine Yi. What's her purpose in poking it out now?Is it because he can't see her please the Queen Mother in the future?After all, there is a huge deviation between the finished screen and a part of it. It can be said that a complete embroidered screen will be amazing, but only a small part will be greatly reduced.

Wu Anning glanced sideways at Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi's mouth curled up into a smile, she couldn't tell whether it was intentional or if she was forced to mention it by others.

Afterwards, she still said calmly: "Back to the queen mother, the concubine thought that the queen mother's birthday is approaching, and the concubine can only do embroidery, so she boldly used it as a birthday gift." Everyone knows that the screen is a birthday gift. Even Kangxi all know.At the same time, she spoke Manchu, and she spoke slowly, but she managed to speak it out.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone also knew that Wu Guiren's Manchu language was not good, which made sense. After all, this Wu Guiren was a Han army banner from a small family in a remote place.

Before this, the Queen Mother really didn't know that Ningshou Palace is still some distance away from the harem, and she doesn't like to inquire about the harem. Her daily pleasure is to eat, drink, ask her grandson, and then wait for others to come Say hello to her and tell her funny things.

Concubine Yi mentioned that the emperor's new favorite Wu nobleman prepared a screen for her recently, and she just wanted to see what the emperor's favorite Wu nobleman looked like, so she asked her to come here.The screen is second, and the talent is the most important.

Now that nobleman Wu gave the answer, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "The Ai family is waiting to receive the gift." It didn't mean to look at it in advance.

Wu Anning glanced at Concubine Yi indiscriminately. Concubine Yi still had the same expression, but Mrs. Guo Luoluo next to her was a bit impatient and wanted to say something, but Concubine Yi held her down and looked at it with warning. Mr. Guo Luoluo gave a glance.

There are twists and turns in the middle.

However, since everything has been exposed, there is no need to hand it over to Concubine Yi.

The reason why I wanted to hand it over to Concubine Yi was not to please Concubine Yi, but because Concubine Yi handed it over to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager would take it to the birthday banquet, but it might not be the case for others, maybe the Empress Dowager will not see the little noble The gift was sent to the treasury.

No matter how favored a nobleman is, it doesn't matter what birthday gift he can afford, the queen mother may not even ask. According to Yun Ping, sometimes the queen mother puts the gift lists of the four concubines into the treasury without even looking at them.But every year, the Empress Dowager will personally inquire about Concubine Yi's ceremony, because the Empress Dowager is raising Concubine Yi's eldest son, Yinqi.

If the things Wu Anning painstakingly produced were directly put into the warehouse, she would definitely feel unwilling.

Now that she left an impression on the Queen Mother, Wu Anning was blessed by a 'misfortune' and didn't need to hand it over to Concubine Yi, then Wu Anning would have nothing to ask of her, and she would no longer have to obey Concubine Yi's words.

As for the excuse to separate from Concubine Yi, isn't today a good reason?Whether it's Concubine Yi, or the nobleman Guo Luoluo who is impatiently jealous of Wu Anning, it can be an excuse for Wu Anning and Concubine Yi to drift away.

There is also Wu Luan'er next to Concubine Yi, Wu Anning is going to see the imperial physician today, if news of her pregnancy spreads, Kangxi will help her send Wu Luan'er out of the palace.
