Chapter 213 Concubine An’s Entrustment (Flowers will be added)

After Kangxi's advance decree, everyone from the royal family to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Kangxi was determined to send the three unloved concubines who had stayed in the palace for decades back to their parents' homes.

However, after careful inquiring by those who were interested, they understood the cause of this important event: the Li family, who had guarded Fuxi for generations, sent a memorial to the Long Live Lord, hoping to bring An's concubine Li, who had been in the palace for decades, back to Fuxi to support her.

Long live the Lord because the Li family has guarded Fuxi for generations and is loyal to the court.In order to appease the Li family, the Li family was specifically allowed to take Concubine An back to Fuxi.This can be regarded as happening for a reason, and everyone can understand it.

But what is strange is why Long Live Lord sent Duan Concubine and Jing Concubine home who never left the palace all year round.

A few days later, on February 49, the 21th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi officially issued the decree in the court.

On March 49, the [-]th year of Kangxi's reign, concubine An Li, Duan concubine Dong, and Jing concubine Zhang Jia were sent out of the palace to be supported by their mother's family.

In order to allow the three concubines to live a better life at their mother's house.Kangxi issued a special decree, and the three concubines were rewarded with 1000 taels of silver and 20 taels of gold.In addition, the three concubines were allowed to take all their savings and body in the palace for many years back to their mother's home.

After this decree was issued, the three concubines who returned to their mother's family all shed tears of gratitude.Duan concubine and Jing concubine who stayed in the palace had already started to clean up their bodies when Kangxi sent someone to inform them.

But An Bin, who lives in Changchun Garden, is a little impatient.So when he learned that the news of leaving the palace was confirmed, he hurriedly took Bu Guiren to Qingxi Bookstore and asked to see Kangxi.

As soon as An Bin and Bu Guiren entered Qingxi Bookstore, they were led to the Hehuan Hall in the backyard by the little eunuch guarding the door.

Wanxian was sitting on the swing in the courtyard, playing. When she saw An Bin and Bu Guiren, she immediately got off the swing.

"Ms. An Bin, Lord Bu. Why didn't you say anything when you came? Hurry up and sit inside." Wanxian greeted An Bin and Lord Bu cordially.

Concubine An embarrassedly said to Wanxian: "Today, I am here to ask for an audience with Lord Long Live."

"Long live the Lord." Wanxian looked ahead after listening to An Bin's words. "Then, Madam, you have to wait. Long live the Lord is discussing court affairs with the ministers."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just wait." An Bin listened to Wanxian's explanation.

"Let's go in and talk. The ministers have just entered, so I'm afraid it will take a while. I'll ask someone to guard the door. When Long live the Lord is free, he will call us again." Wanxian cordially pulled An Bin and Bu Guiren to the Hehuan Hall. Go inside.

An Bin and Bu Guiren had no choice but to follow Wan Xian inside.After the group of people sat in the main hall of Hehuan Hall, Wanxian quickly greeted An Bin and Bu Guiren.

"This is the newly offered tea. I am preparing to deliver it to you. You are here." Wanxian took the tea cup from Yunxia's hand with her own hands and handed it to An Bin and Bu Guiren respectively.

"It's hard for you to still think about us. I won't say polite words to you anymore. I came here today just to ask you, Long Live Lord. I hope Long Live Lord will allow me to return to the palace." Concubine An took the tea cup. , said after taking a sip of tea.

"Going back to the palace?" Wanxian asked strangely.

After putting down the tea cup, Bu Guiren said: "I can't go back now. Long live the Lord's decree, allowing the empress to take all the bodies in the palace home. But most of the body in the palace are in the Changchun Palace, no matter what I have to go back to the palace to tidy up. I’m also here to ask you, Long Live the Lord, to accompany you back.”

"It's time to go back. Take care of yourself. Why didn't I think of that?" Wan Xian suddenly realized.

Seeing Wanxian's annoyance, Concubine An quickly comforted her: "You are young, and I didn't expect you to be right. Wanxian, I have something I want to entrust to you today."

"Empress, just say it, Wanxian will definitely do it." Wanxian said with assurance.

An Bin stood up, pulled Wanxian and walked to Bu Guiren, and said: "If Long Live Lord is correct today, then today will be the last time I see you. I will entrust Bu Guiren to you. I hope. You and the Bugui people can support each other and understand each other in the future."

"Empress." Bu Guiren said movedly.

Wanxian solemnly took An Bin and Bu Guiren's hands and said, "Don't worry, Madam, even if you don't tell me, Wanxian will definitely take good care of Bu Guiren."

"After you said this, I feel relieved." An Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

But An Bin looked at Nanny Yun who was standing beside her and said, "Is there anything else?"

"My dear, just say it, as long as Wanxian can do it, Wanxian will definitely do it." Wanxian said seriously.

"Besides Bu Guiren, I am also worried about Yun Gu and Ji Heping, who have been with me for many years." Concubine An said while looking at Aunt Yun and Li Heping outside the door. "Mama Yun and Eunuch Ji." Wanxian also followed Concubine An's gaze and looked at Grandma Yun and Ji Heping.

Aunt Yun and Ji Heping quickly knelt down in front of Concubine An and cried, "Aren't you going to have slaves?"

Concubine An helplessly looked at Aunt Yun and Ji Heping who were kneeling on the ground, and said quickly: "It's not that I don't want you. But the ancestral system stipulates that eunuchs cannot leave the palace. Gu Yun, your natal family is in the capital, so I have nothing to do. "

"Empress." Ji Heping knelt on the ground and cried.

"Wherever the queen goes, this slave will go. I will kneel in front of Lord Long Live and ask for permission from Lord Long Live to follow my master." As she said this, Grandma Yun got up and ran towards Gu Zhengzhai in front.

"Stop it quickly." An Bin ordered hurriedly.

Fortunately, the eunuchs guarding the door quickly stopped Grandma Yun.

"Yun Gu, I know that you are reluctant to leave me. When Huizi comes to face the saint, I will ask Lord Long Live to allow you to leave the palace for retirement, and I will leave a pension for you and Ji Heping. money." Concubine An quickly said to Aunt Yun and Ji Heping.

"Empress." Grandma Yun knelt on the ground and shouted miserably.

"Ji Heping, since you can't leave the palace, I will hand you over to Bu Gui. If Bu Gui can become the head of the first palace, you will still be the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace." Concubine An told Ji Heping.

Although Ji Heping was reluctant to give up his concubine, his status as an eunuch had already destined him to never leave the Forbidden City in his life.He had no choice but to kowtow to Concubine An and say, "I thank you for your kindness. I wish you happiness and good health in the future."

An Bin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Bugui people will treat you well."

Bu Guiren quickly said, "Don't worry, Madam, my sister will not let Ji Heping suffer."

After dealing with Ji Heping, Concubine An said to Aunt Yun: "Aunt Yun, I know how loyal you are to me. It's just that the mountain is high and the road is far away. If you leave, I may never come back. So I I can’t bear to have you suffer with me.”

"Slave, don't be afraid. Madam, please take this slave with you." Grandma Yun cried.

"Yun Gu, your mother's family is pretty good. Your nephew can be considered promising now. If you go home, your life will be very good. Why don't you go back and enjoy your life? Why follow me to an unfamiliar place? Go." An Bi said reluctantly.

Grandma Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head and said decisively: "Mother, you are more than just my master. I would like to say something disrespectful, but you are not only my master, but also my relative. For decades, you are more than just my master." Over the years, I have become accustomed to serving you. Your Majesty agreed to your request and took the slave's old bones with you back to Fuxi. If you don't agree, your Majesty will be willing to hit you to death. Here." Grandma Yun's last words shocked everyone present.

"Okay, since you are so determined, I will take you with me." Concubine An finally relented and made a promise to Grandma Yun.

Only then did Grandma Yun soften and collapse on the ground.

Wanxian couldn't bear it and quickly ordered: "Yunxia, ​​take your aunt down to have a rest."

"Yes." Yunxia, ​​who had been in the hall, quickly helped her aunt up and walked to her maid's room.

Seeing this, Bu Guiren helped Concubine An sit down and quickly said kind words: "Mother Yun is also reluctant to leave you, my concubine, that's why she is like this."

"Yes, yes." Wanxian also said.

“I know Yun Gu’s loyalty, I just want her to go home and spend a few days as someone else takes care of her.

At first, her family found a match for her, and they only waited for her to leave the palace at the age of 25. The palace also prepared a dowry for her.But for the sake of this palace, she just canceled the marriage and stayed in the palace to become a nanny. "An Bin sat on the Taishi chair and recalled the time when she was young.

"Actually, it's okay. Aunty Yun will follow you. Your Majesty will be less worried about you." Bu Guiren comforted her.

An Bi nodded and said, "Now I can only think like this."

At this time, Wei Zhu walked into the hall, called Qian'er to Wanxian, An Bin and others, and said: "Queen, noble lady. Long live the Lord, please invite the two empresses and noble Bu to come into the hall to talk."

Many thanks to Akina Nakamori for her floral support.Thanks
