Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

She followed Eunuch Wang into the palace and listened to Eunuch Wang introducing the places he had seen along the way. After about two incense sticks of time, Wang Shun led her to the place with a smile.

"This is Changchun Palace. The emperor personally ordered that the empress live in it. The emperor also said that the empress should live directly in the main hall. The three rooms in the east side hall in front will be used as a small kitchen for the empress, and the extra rooms will be used to store some things for the empress."

As he finished speaking, An Ning had already followed Wang Shun to the entrance of the main hall. A dozen maids, palace servants and eunuchs were standing on both sides of the main hall.

The leading nanny was An Ning's acquaintance, Nanny Ulan.

When An Ning saw Nanny Ulan, she was very surprised for a moment, after all, she was an acquaintance. But then she was surprised. She knew Nanny Ulan's abilities, and now seeing her in Changchun Palace, she thought that the emperor was too good to her.

Coupled with the previous preferential treatment, An Ning suddenly felt uneasy.

Nothing is free in this world.

Led by Aunt Ulan, everyone saluted An Ning.

"This servant greets Madam Shupin. May Madam Shupin live in peace and happiness."

An Ning smiled and said, "Everyone, get up, Bai Shu, give me a reward!"

Baizhu was one of An Ning's maids who came with her as a dowry. The other three were named Baiguo, Shancha and Shanxiang.

Among the four, Bai Zhu is the most steady, careful and thoughtful, and she is in charge of An Ning's money.

Bai Zhu distributed the rewards with a smile.

Wang Shun continued, "Madam Wulan also knows her. She is more familiar with the affairs of Changchun Palace than I am. I will not bother you with your arrangements."

"I will not keep Eunuch Wang for long. Bai Shu, you can see him off for me."

Bai Zhu saw Wang Shun off. When Wang Shun left Changchun Palace, there was a light purse in his hand and the smile on his face became more obvious.

After Wang Shun left, An Ning looked at everyone and asked, "Who is the eunuch in charge?"

The leading eunuch stepped forward and said, "My name is Jiang Xi. Your Majesty, you can just call me Xiao Xizi."

An Ning took a quick look at him. As his name suggested, he was cheerful and fair-skinned, very likable to look at. He also didn't look very old, probably in his twenties.

"Madame Wulan and Xiao Xizi come in with me. The rest of you can go and do your own things. I will send someone to call you if I need you. Everyone, go away."

Nanny Ulan taught her a lot. There were many concubines in Kangxi's harem. Now she didn't know what the Changchun Palace was like or who lived in it. She asked the head nanny and the eunuch first.

After entering the hall and looking at the furnishings inside, An Ning felt that it was okay. Although it was not as spacious as the original courtyard outside the palace, it looked very elegant and it was obvious that it was arranged with great care.

Seeing this, Xiao Xizi said, "Your Highness is the highest ranking among the same year's concubines. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is very concerned about her. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent someone to say that if Your Highness feels that there is something wrong, someone will be sent to replace her immediately."

"There's nothing wrong with that. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has put in a lot of effort."

After An Ning entered, she sat directly on the couch. Seeing the embroidered stool next to her, she said, "Madam Wulan, Xiao Xizi, you two should sit down first. I just entered the palace and I have many questions to ask you."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Both of them sat down without any hesitation.

According to the rules of the harem, the mistress of a palace is in charge of all the affairs of that palace, and the servants in the palace all obey the orders of the mistress. Since there were many people in Kangxi's harem, some palaces were occupied by two concubines.

Only those who live in the main hall can truly take the master position and manage the affairs of the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she was granted the title of concubine and was able to live in the main palace. She was truly favored!

An Ning started talking to Aunt Ulan first.

"I didn't expect to see Madam in Changchun Palace. It really is fate."

"The emperor values ​​Lord Fei Yanggu. The queen suffered in the palace during the selection period. I know some medical skills, so I arranged for you to come and take care of the queen. I hope that the queen can be safe and stable. If there is anything in the future, please let me know. I will do my best to protect you."

Aunt Wulan expressed her loyalty without any hesitation.

An Ning smiled and said, "Madam, you are so thoughtful. With your help, I think I will have a peaceful life in the future. The maids I brought from outside the palace are still young and not mature enough. Madam, you have been in the palace for some time. I hope you can love them more and give them some advice. It will be enough for them to benefit. From now on, the maids in Changchun Palace will be taught by you."

"Your Majesty trusts me, so I will do my best for you."

An Ning naturally intended to use Ulan Mama. She made her identity clear from the beginning: she was Kangxi's person.

An Ning knew history and it was already the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

The youngest of the nine princes competing for the throne, the Fourteenth Prince, was born in the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign and is almost seven years old this year.

The emperor's princes were already in the order of seniority, and their biological mother was concubine Wang, a pure Han Chinese woman who was presented to Emperor Kangxi by his subordinates when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. She had an outstanding appearance and was very favored.

An Ning was not ugly, she was just of average appearance, a beauty but not stunning. After the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the concubines who were favored by Emperor Kangxi were basically all Han women, who were particularly outstanding in talent and appearance.

An Ning planned to have a child, but she knew very well that the succession to the throne had little to do with the prince who would be born later. But it was also good this way.

Historically, Kangxi died in the 61st year, so she only had to endure for more than 20 years. By then, her children had grown up. She remembered that when Yongzheng ascended the throne, he graciously allowed the concubines with princes to leave the palace and live in the children's residence to be raised in glory.

At that time, she was in her forties, had wood-related superpowers, and was in good health. She lived in a farm in the suburbs, where she could eat whatever she wanted and play whatever she wanted.

With such a lazy idea, An Ning felt that it was a good thing that Ulan Mama was Kangxi's person.

After talking to Aunt Ulan, An Ning looked at Xiao Xizi.

"Xiao Xizi, where did you work before?"

Jiang Xi looks young and smart. To be successful at such a young age, he must not only be capable but also know how to behave. He must also have a good background.

"I used to work in Jingren Palace."

"Jingren Palace? If I remember correctly, it was the former residence of Empress Xiaokangzhang. And I heard that no one has ever lived there. It's a great place! Why do you want to work in Changchun Palace?"

Kangxi often went into the palace of his mother to pay tribute to her. Working there at least allowed him to become familiar to the emperor, have a leisurely and respectable life, and not have to worry about being excluded or living in fear all day long.

An Ning wanted to ask him why he was so stupid as to come to Changchun Palace to work.

"The servants in Jingren Palace were all arranged by Chief Steward Liang himself. Before I went to Jingren Palace to work, I followed Chief Steward Liang to run errands for the Empress. Chief Steward Liang knew that I had some skills, so he arranged for me to work in Changchun Palace and asked me to obey Her Majesty's orders in the future."

After hearing this, An Ning was inevitably stunned for a moment.

Another person arranged by the emperor.

Aunt Ulan and Jiang Xi did not hide the fact that they were Kangxi's people. This frank behavior made An Ning at a loss for words for a moment.

But it's also a good thing. I just feel complicated and even scratch my head. I don't understand why Kangxi suddenly pays so much attention to me.

Kangxi did this on purpose. A legitimate daughter of a wealthy family like An Ning must have connections to enter the palace. If her identity was not directly revealed, An Ning would not reuse a servant with an unknown background.

In response, she forced a smile and said, "The emperor really takes good care of the new concubines in the palace. He made such thoughtful arrangements for me right after I entered the palace! I will definitely serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the future."

An Ning expressed his attitude politely to the two people in front of the emperor.

"You are the eunuch in charge. Can you first tell me what the eunuchs in Changchun Palace are like?"

Jiang Xi told An Ning the origins of the eunuchs in Changchun Palace. After listening to it, An Ning felt more complicated. Half of them were arranged by the emperor, and half of them were newcomers who had more or less some skills.

For example, the eunuch in charge of the small kitchen is very good at medicinal food, which is a rare technical talent.

I won’t say much about the rest.

An Ning curiously asked about the situation of the palace maid Ulan Ma, and as expected, the situation was even worse than that of the eunuchs!

She really wanted to run to Kangxi and shake his shoulders, asking him what he was doing. This attitude was comparable to the treatment of the emperor's true love. What right did she have to do this? ?
