Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 332 Five Poison Sachet
"It's still early, please sleep a little longer." Kangxi looked lovingly at Wanxian who was busy in front of him, and said lovingly.

Wanxian picked up the belt and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I slept for so long yesterday and I'm not sleepy anymore. I'd better go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother earlier."

"Yes. If we go earlier, the Queen Mother will also be happy." Kangxi looked at the busy Wanxian in front of him and thought more and more: He just didn't love the little girl in vain.No matter how much I love the little girl.The little girl is not arrogant, she is still so kind and obedient.When Kangxi thought of this, he stretched out his hand to hug Wanxian.

Unexpectedly, Wanxian took a five-poison sachet from the tray presented by Nurse Gu and tied it to Kangxi's belt.

"Is this the Five Poisons Sachet you embroidered for me?" Kangxi picked up the sachet. It was a square sachet with bright yellow as the base.There are flying dragons embroidered in the middle, and snakes, toads, scorpions, geckos and centipedes are embroidered around the flying dragons.

"Well, I put wormwood, realgar, calamus and other medicines in it, as well as agarwood, canaan, ambergris and other spices. With this long live Lord, you will be immune to all poisons from now on." Wanxian said and took it again. He picked up a purse embroidered with a tiger and hung it on the side of the five-poison sachet.

Kangxi held a five-poison sachet and a tiger purse, and praised Wanxian: "The embroidery is so good. Our little darling's embroidery skills are getting better and better."

"It's just an ordinary craftsmanship. It doesn't deserve such praise from you, Long Live Lord." Wanxian was embarrassed by Kangxi's praise. She stood up and hugged Kangxi's waist, burying her little face into Kangxi's chest.

"Look, he's still a child. He's still shy after being praised like this." Kangxi said boastfully.

The nurses and maids serving around her kept their heads lowered whenever they dared to speak.

Wanxian hid in Kangxi's arms and said softly: "Long live the Lord."

"Okay, from now on all these things will be made by the embroiderers in the weaving department. Just rest. My concubine Shu was born to enjoy happiness, not to be an embroiderer." Kangxi touched Wanxian lovingly head, said dotingly.

"That's different. What the embroiderer is embroidering is the embroiderer's errand. But what the slave is embroidering is the slave's intention. The two cannot be confused." Wanxian pouted and said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, I wasted all of Queen Shu's heart. I was wrong." Kangxi admitted his mistake obediently.

Only then did Wanxian's face put on a smile again.Wanxian lowered her head, smoothed the wrinkles on the waist of Kangxi's dragon robe, and said, "It's already late at this time. Long live my lord, please go to court. After I changed my clothes, I went to Ningchun Hall to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Yes. By the way, the sachet dedicated to the Queen Mother is the same as mine." Kangxi became curious and wanted to see the five-poison sachet specially embroidered by Wanxian for the Queen Mother.

Wanxian waved hurriedly to Nanny Gu.

Nanny Gu immediately went to the cabinet inside and took out a pair of five-poison sachets and a pair of tiger purses.Wanxian picked up a five-poison sachet and handed it to Kangxi's eyes, explaining: "How can it be so? The Queen Mother is the most blessed old man in the world, so I specially embroidered a gourd in the center of the sachet. She is blessed with good fortune and longevity. Besides, Wow, Lord Long Live, the flying dragon on your sachet is so difficult to embroider, it took me a long time to embroider it." What's more, Lord Long Live's sachet was carefully embroidered by me, and it is the most unique.Long Live Lord can only be matched with a unique one.

"Well, I guess you are interested. Okay, I'm leaving. I'll go to Ningchun Hall to meet you later." Kangxi warned Wanxian.

Wanxian nodded and said to Kangxi: "I'm waiting for you in Ningchun Hall. Long live my Lord, please go slowly."

Wanxian said and made a Wanfu salute to Kangxi.

After Kangxi touched Wanxian's little head, he strode outside.

After opening the door, Liang Jiugong, who was waiting outside, hurriedly shouted: "Long live the Lord, let's get going."

After Wanxian watched Kangxi leave, she ordered to Nanny Gu: "Nanny, put these sachets and purses in the box. Prepare a few more packets of candied fruits in front of them."

"Okay, I know this." Nanny Gu hurried to get ready.

Wanxian then told Qiaoguo and Yunxia: "Okay, let's change clothes and make up."

"Hey." Qiaoguo and Yunxia quickly helped Wanxian sit in front of the dressing table and began to dress Wanxian.

After Wanxian finished washing herself, she put on a blue dress embroidered with lotus flowers.She combed her hair into a small bun and inserted a pair of emerald fish-length double-pronged hairpins in hollow flower pots and a few small flowers that had been picked.

Wanxian adjusted the buckle on her chest and said, "By the way, where's the string of eighteen emerald stones that I paired with Lord Long Live before?"

"Your Majesty, it's here." Qiaoguo quickly took out the string of eighteen jadeite stones from a small box on the dressing table.

Wanxian held the bracelet and compared it with her clothes, shook her head and said, "It's a pity, my clothes don't match today." "Well, mother. Why don't you use this string of white jade rabbits as your lapel today." Qiaoguo hurriedly stepped aside. Take out a press collar.The upper part of the lapel is strung with pearls, and the lower part hangs a white rabbit carved from white jade into the size of a thumb.

Wanxian nodded and said, "Then let's take this."

"Hey." Qiaoguo quickly stepped forward and hung the string of white rabbits on the right button of Wanxian's cheongsam.

Seeing that everything was ready, Wanxian ordered: "Okay, let's set off. By the way, wet nurse, you can stay here to prepare breakfast. When Long Live Master comes back with me, you can have a meal."

"Come on. I understand." Nanny Gu quickly agreed.To be honest, Nanny Gu was not very willing to follow Wanxian out.Perhaps it was a habit she had developed when she was in Guarjia Mansion. Nanny Gu didn't like meeting strangers very much.

Qiaoguo and Yunxia quickly helped Wanxian out of the inner room and out of the Hehuan Hall.

In front of the Qingxi Bookstore, the imperial concubine's chariot and chariot had been prepared long ago.

As soon as Wei Zhu, who was waiting at the door, saw Wanxian's figure, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the queen. The queen's carriage and sedan chair have been prepared."

"Yes." Wanxian replied, and then she was supported by Qiaoguo and Yunxia into the sedan chair.

After Wanxian sat firmly, Wei Zhu immediately shouted: "Concubine Shu, get up from the sedan chair."

The sedan chair was lifted smoothly.Go to Ningchun Hall where the Queen Mother lives.

……

After Wanxian arrived at the door of Ningchun Hall, Wei Zhu quickly stepped forward and called the young eunuch on duty at the door to remind him: "Why don't you go in and report back to the Queen Mother? Let me tell you that Concubine Shu has come specifically to pay her respects to the Queen Mother."

The little eunuch had also heard about Concubine Shu's favor, and ran inside without any delay.

The Empress Dowager was having a meal in the side hall. A palace maid first ran to the Empress Dowager's personal nanny, Aunt Ning, and whispered a few words in her ear.

The Queen Mother saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Ning also hurriedly replied: "To the Queen Mother, it's Concubine Shu who is here. She said she came specially to pay your respects."

"Hey, it's so early, so I guess she means it. I wonder if she has had breakfast? Let her come in." The Queen Mother was satisfied with Wanxian's sense of proportion and said happily.

"Hey, I'm going to invite Concubine Shu to come in." Grandma Ning didn't dare to delay and quickly exited the side hall.

After a while, I saw Granny Ning leading Wanxian in.

As soon as she saw the Empress Dowager sitting at the dinner table, Wanxian immediately knelt on the ground and said greetings to the Empress Dowager in Mongolian: "Slave Guarjia, please greet the Empress Dowager. I wish the Empress Dowager good fortune and happiness."

"Well, get up. It's hard for you to come to greet the Ai family so early in the morning. You are quite proficient in Mongolian." The Queen Mother was very happy to hear Wanxian's smooth Mongolian and praised her.

"I would like to inform the Empress Dowager to pay my respects to you. It is the duty of a slave, so it is not difficult for me. This Mongolian slave does not dare to slack off in the palace, and often learns a sentence or two. If you are not good at speaking, please ask the Emperor. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Wanxian really tried hard to learn Manchu from Kangxi, but she still spoke stumblingly.

The Queen Mother listened to Wanxian's answer and felt increasingly satisfied.This is very good. Although he is the only favorite, he is not arrogant because of his favor. He is a person who knows his limits.As for Mongolian, as long as you are willing to learn it, it will be good.

Thinking this, the Empress Dowager said with an increasingly kind face: "You are already serious about learning Mongolian. You need to speak Mongolian often so that you can become proficient. Well, in the future, when you are free, you can always speak Mongolian. Come and say hello to the Ai family, so that you can become proficient in Mongolian as soon as possible."

"As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't think my servant is stupid, I'm willing to come over from time to time to pay my respects to you, the Empress Dowager." Wanxian said sincerely.

The Queen Mother saw that there was no trace of impatience on Wanxian's face, and she also knew that Wanxian was sincere.I feel more and more happy.When people get older, they just don’t like false flattery.
