Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 123
After sending Kangxi away, Wanxian was in a very happy mood.Because Long Live Lord promised himself to come and have dinner with him in the evening.

"Yunxia, ​​Yunxia, ​​go ask the chef in the small kitchen to cook some more side dishes in the evening. Long live the Lord said that he would come over to have dinner together in the evening." Wanxian sat in front of the dressing table and looked for the silver-plated gold-embedded gemstone in the jewelry box. Find a good spot on your head to put the tourmaline hairpin on again.

"Yes, I will go and give you the orders right now." Yunxia bowed and left immediately after seeing her master's orders.If the master is favored, the life of the slave will be easier.Now when I go out by myself, whoever calls me sister is not polite.

"This hairpin is so beautiful. It looks like a valuable item at first glance." Nanny Gu boasted as she looked at the reflection of the hairpin on Wanxian's head in the mirror.

Wanxian heard Nurse Gu's praise and happily touched the hairpin on her head. "This is the hairpin awarded by Lord Long Live. It was awarded together with this bracelet." Wanxian said and revealed the three-color jade bracelet on her left hand.

"No matter how many times I look at this bracelet, I still feel that it is something extraordinary." Nurse Gu raised Wanxian's hand and sighed while touching the bracelet on Wanxian's hand.Nanny Gu has been serving Wanxian closely these days, so she naturally noticed the bracelet that Wanxian never took off.

"Of course this is not an ordinary thing. If you look around, you won't be able to find another one in the palace or in the world." Concubine An pulled the nobleman in from outside and interjected.

Wanxian quickly stood up and gave the Wanfu ceremony to An Bin and Bu Guiren.

Bu Guiren also returned the gift.

Nanny Gu also paid her respects to the two masters of Changchun Palace.

"We met Yunxia just now. Yunxia said to go to the small kitchen as you asked and let them prepare dinner. Long live the Lord is coming to have dinner with you in the evening?" Bu Guiren pulled Wanxian and asked casually.

Wanxian replied shyly: "Yes. Long live the Lord said he would come earlier today."

Wanxian took Bu Guiren's arm and walked to the right side of the heated kang to sit down.

An Bin followed suit and sat on the left side of the heated ondol.

"It was so late last night, and the palace door has been locked. Long Live Lord still came in to see you, which shows that he takes you into consideration. You must serve Long Live Lord well, so that your favor can last longer. ." An Bin explained to Wanxian.

"Yes, I understand." Wanxian nodded obediently and replied.

"Also, you are also the concubine's master now. You can no longer call yourself me. You should call yourself me. In front of us, in the Changchun Palace, there is no problem for you to say this. But outside, you are saying this, People will say that you have no rules. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules, not to mention that this is still a palace. It will be New Year's Eve in three days, and the Queen Mother will be there. You are now a concubine, a serious master, and you are going to the Ningshou Palace of the Queen Mother to pay her respects. Yes. I will ask Aunt Yun to follow you and give you some advice." Concubine An reminded Wanxian carefully.

Wanxian nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"I quickly took out the court clothes and auspicious clothes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I asked the servants to iron them carefully and properly. They will be worn every day during the New Year." Noble Bu also kindly reminded them.

"I'll ask the slaves to bring it out later." Wanxian said quickly.

"Yun Gu, later you will carefully sort out all these things for Shu Pin. Aunt Gu is also Shu Pin's nanny. You should learn from Aunt Yun." An Pin turned to Yun Bin. Grandma and Nanny Gu ordered.

"Hey, I understand." Aunt Yun and Nanny Gu said in unison.

Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Bugui changed the topic and said, "Don't think about those things. Let's talk about going to Shufangzhai to listen to the opera this afternoon. It was snowing non-stop yesterday. , we didn’t go. But today the weather is beautiful, the snow stopped early, and the sun also rose. Let’s talk about which plays we should order.”

"Let's name Xue Dingshan's expedition to the west. It's exciting." An Bin was the first to speak.An Bin, who came from a family of generals, loved martial arts the most.

Wanxian also continued: "Having a Havoc in Heaven is not bad, it is very lively." Wanxian still likes the drama in Journey to the West.

"Then I will select the female general of the Yang clan. We have seen enough with the three shows. We still have to come back early. After all, Long live the Lord may come earlier." Bu Guiren also said. "That's right. Let's go early today and listen to some plays in a lively manner." An Bin said.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take the concubines in our palace with you?" Bu Guiren suddenly thought of the humble little masters in Changchun Palace and asked.

An Bin thought for a while and then said: "Let them follow. As the year is approaching, let them relax and relax. It's not easy." Hey, it's still the same sentence, why are women suffering? It's not easy for them. of.Thinking of this, Concubine An said to Aunt Yun: "Aunt Yun, go and talk to them. Set off to Shufang Zhai at seven quarters and let them clean up themselves."

"Hey, I will go and inform all the young masters now." Aunt Yun bowed and left.

"It's really lively right now. This afternoon is our Changchun Palace meeting." Bu Guiren said happily.

"It's not because of Wanxian, otherwise how could we go to the opera. After all, at this time, the Shengping Office is busy practicing for the New Year's drama." An Bin said with a smile to Wanxian.

"Yes, yes. Thanks to our concubine. There are operas sung every day during the New Year, but it is too lively and I can't listen to the opera properly. It would be better for us sisters to be quiet. Listen to the play." Bu Guiren took Wanxian's hand and patted it gently.

Wanxian smiled implicitly, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, let's go back first. Wanxian was tired from serving Long Live Lord yesterday, so let her have a good rest. There is no time for lunch break in the afternoon." An Bin stood up as she spoke.

After Bu Guiren patted Wanxian's hand, he stood up and said, "That's right, I've finally forgotten about this. You can have a good rest. Your Majesty and I will go back first."

"Come to the front for lunch, let's eat it together." An Bin pulled the Bu nobleman who came forward to greet him and said.

Wanxian stood up hurriedly, and after giving a blessing ceremony, she sent Concubine An and Lady Bu out of the door of Yiqing's study room.

After Wanxian turned around, Nanny Gu hurriedly came forward, took Wanxian's hand and said, "Nanny listened to what An Bin and Bu Guiren just said. She also knew how caring the two previous masters were. is you."

"Empress An and Lord Bu have always taken good care of me. Nanny, look at the Yiqing Study Room. This is the dormitory where I have been living since I first entered the palace. Have you been to Lord Bu's East Wing Hall? It is much better than the East Wing Hall. . When I first entered the palace, I was just a permanent resident. According to the rules, the rank of a nobleman is higher. In order to take care of me, Concubine An moved the concubine who originally lived in the east and west wings out to make a warehouse for me. " Xian talked endlessly about the care she took of An Bin and Bu Gui Renduo.

"Really? Concubine An and Lord Bu are really good people." Nurse Gu said as she helped Wanxian walk into the east room.

"What's more, Concubine An also gave me a lot of silver. They were all rewarded to the slaves for me. In total, it was more than 1000 taels." Wanxian has always been aware of how much Concubine An and Lady Bu treat her. Thank you very much for taking care of them both.

"What about your own money? Where is the money that nanny sewed into your coat when you entered the palace?" Nanny Gu asked softly.

"It's all in the cabinet on my bed, basically untouched. There's also the 2 taels of silver. Long Live Master said he would make some private money for me." Wanxian also said quietly to Nanny Gu.

"That's good. If you have time, you still have to return the money to Empress An. The nanny is staying in Changchun Palace, and she also knows that it's not easy for Empress An." Nanny Gu thought that since Wanxian had the money, she still had to return it. Concubine An, after all, he knew Concubine An's situation during the two months he was in Changchun Palace.

"I said I wanted to return it to Empress An, but Empress An said she had money of her own, and it would be of no use if she just let it sit for nothing. She might as well take it out and give it to me. She kept refusing. I thought about repaying An in the future. The concubines and noble people will not let their efforts go in vain." Wanxian told Nai Niang her thoughts.

After hearing this, Nanny Gu also said: "Then you must repay Empress An and Lord Bu well in the future. It will not be easy for them both." Nanny Gu warned Wanxian.Nanny Gu stayed in the Changchun Palace and felt pity when she saw Empress An and Lady Bu.If outside the palace, the two concubines An and Bu Guiren must be very good mistresses.

"I understand, wet nurse. I am not an ungrateful person." Wanxian said seriously.
