Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 16 Kangxi's Harem Wins Everyday

After coming out of Yongshou Palace with a lot of rewards, An Ning sent Bai Guo to deliver the things back to Changchun Palace, and took Chunlan, who was familiar with the palace, to Chengqian Palace.

In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong heard that An Ning came to pay her respects and asked, "What time is it?"

"My lady, it is just past noon."

"She came early and seemed well behaved. She is indeed someone that my sister valued."

The nanny beside her heard this and quickly reminded her: "Madam, now that Shupin has entered the harem, you can't say this."

Concubine Tong looked unconcerned: "There are no outsiders around, so there is no need to be so cautious. I am just expressing my feelings. Let's go and see Concubine Shu."

Compared to Concubine Wen who was frail and sickly, Concubine Tong looked much healthier.

Although she was not favored much, she had some power in her hands. Everyone in the harem gave her some face as Kangxi's cousin. In addition, she was not arrogant, knew how to behave, and was open-minded. She never indulged in imperial love and had no children to make trouble. She lived a good life and was healthy.

"Your concubine, Shupin Ulanara of Changchun Palace, pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

"No need to be polite, get up!"

Like Imperial Concubine Wen, Imperial Concubine Tong had no intention of making things difficult for her. She smiled and asked her to sit down, then gave her a reward and chatted with her. Her attitude was friendly, as if she were a close elder in the family.

After coming out of Chengqian Palace, An Ning saw that there was no one around, so she couldn't help but whisper to Chunlan: "The two imperial concubines are both extremely kind people!"

Chunlan smiled and said: "The emperor's harem has indeed become much more peaceful in recent years, your majesty, just rest assured."

"With you here, I feel at ease."

"It's still early and not too hot. Would Your Majesty like to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?" Chunlan thought the weather was nice today and not too hot. She was also worried that An Ning would be too bored staying in Changchun Palace, so she suggested this.

An Ning immediately refused: "No, let's go back."

She couldn't stand the Imperial Garden, a place that was prone to accidents in novels and TV dramas. It was a big place with a lot of trouble. She was afraid of it!

After returning to Changchun Palace, An Ning finally had time to ask about the rewards given by Concubine Wen and Concubine Tong.

Both of them were very generous, buying fashionable fabrics and new jewelry accessories made by the Imperial Household Department.

"Please check the gifts for the two ladies and register them. Store them in a separate warehouse. From now on, the gifts sent by the concubines in the harem will be placed in one warehouse, and the gifts from the emperor and the empress dowager will be placed in another warehouse."

Aunt Ulan was very happy to hear this. An Ning was so cautious, which showed that she was smart, and this made it less difficult for her to protect her.

"Yes, ma'am."

Nanny Ulan had packed up her things and went into the house to answer. An Ning heard some noise coming from outside. There was no sound of a whip. At this time, Kangxi was still in court.

Before she could ask, Xiao Xizi came in with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, the eunuchs in the imperial court have come to give you rewards. There are more than ten palace maids who are here to give you rewards. Congratulations to you, Your Majesty."

An Ning knew that after sleeping with her, if Kangxi was satisfied, he would send her a reward, and the amount of the reward would depend on the degree of satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, An Ning blushed in public.

"Your Majesty has shown me favor. I should go out to receive the reward. Please follow me."

After saying this, he stood up, and the people around him followed him out with a happy look on their faces.

Eunuch Wang, also known as Wang Shun, who sent An Ning to Changchun Palace when An Ning first entered the palace, saw him again. The smile on his face was much more flattering than the first time they met.

"Your servant greets the Majesty, may the Majesty live forever."

"No need to be so polite, Eunuch Wang. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Madam. I am here today to give you a reward. These were ordered by the Emperor himself, and Chief Steward Liang went to the Emperor's private storehouse to find them himself."

An Ning's eyes were filled with joy: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Then Wang Shun began to read out the rewards.

The fashionable brocade silks and satins newly sent from Jiangnan, jewelry, rouge and powder, jade and porcelain, antiques and ornaments, several sets of four treasures of the study, some valuable calligraphy and paintings, the rumored rare Luozi ink, and even a lot of rare fruits...

They are all first-class stuff. The more An Ning listened, the bigger her smile became. These are all rare treasures!

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. Thank you for your trip. Mammy, please invite him into the house for a cup of tea."

Wang Shun smiled and waved his hands: "I have work to do in front of the emperor. I will drink the emperor's tea next time. I should go back now."

"It is important to serve the Emperor. Mammy, please escort Eunuch Wang for me."

After sending Wang Shun away, An Ning smiled and said, "Madam, please check everything and pick out a few ornaments that the emperor likes and put them in the room. Register the jewelry and put it in the jewelry box. Then make a few new clothes and register the rest and put them in the warehouse."

"Yes, ma'am."

An Ning was happy in her heart, and she still had some common people's mentality. If the dowry given by Unalana was not precious enough, she would probably not be so calm at this moment.

The antique bestowed by the emperor looked expensive. Fortunately, she had experienced the end of the world. Otherwise, with her psychological endurance before the end of the world, she would have been exposed and suspected long ago.

With Kangxi's generous reward, the other ladies in the harem followed Kangxi's footsteps. The ladies in the imperial concubine position gave rewards one after another, and the ladies in the same position as her gave gifts one after another.

Changchun Palace was bustling with activity all day long.

Looking at the lively scene in front, Xia Da Ying couldn't help feeling jealous, so he went to find Chen Changzai again.

When Chen Changzai saw that it was her, he paused with his needle and thread and asked, "Why are you here again, sister?"

"What do you mean, sister? Don't you welcome my sister?"

This was unpleasant to hear, but Chen Changzai had no intention of breaking up with Xia Cheng.

There were not many people in Changchun Palace. Concubine Lin lived in the back hall, but she was sick. The two of them were unwilling to get close to her as they felt it was unlucky.

Even though Chen Changzai was somewhat unhappy that Xia agreed, after all they had lived together for a long time and it was nice to have someone to talk to.

"You're talking nonsense again. You know that's not what I meant. Sit down and talk."

Xia Da Ying's expression softened a little, and after sitting down, she apologized: "My sister's tone of voice was not right just now, please don't blame me."

Chen Changzai smiled and said: "I don't blame you, but there are so many people in Changchun Palace now, you should be more careful."

Xia Da Ying's face turned ugly: "Yes, there are many people in Changchun Palace today. This is the first time I have seen such a lively atmosphere in Changchun Palace."

Chen Changzai stopped smiling, put down the needlework in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say, sister?"

"I already know what I want to say, why should I ask my younger sister to say it again?"

Chen Changzai naturally knew what she meant. She was jealous of Shupin's favor, but what was her right?

If she worked hard, she might get pregnant overnight. If she failed, she would offend the queen and her life would be difficult. She didn't dare to take the chance.

"Sister, I am timid. After Shupin entered the palace, I also gave her my full share. Life is much better than before. I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Chen Changzai had thought about regaining favor with the help of Shupin, but she was afraid that these hard-earned days would be gone.

Xia Da Ying's face darkened when he heard this.

"Sister, are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Chen Chang said with a resigned look on his face: "This is fate!"

Finally, Xia agreed and left, waving her handkerchief. Chen Changzai did not show any displeasure. The senior maid beside her looked at Xia's expression and could not help but mutter, "My lady, look at Xia's expression. Your position is higher than hers, how can she be so embarrassed to turn her face away from you? You are just too kind."

Chen Changzai smiled and said, "That's just her personality. You don't understand her. Let's not talk about her. I plan to make a dress for Concubine Shu by myself, as a way to thank Concubine Shu for the benefits she has brought to us."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid complimented her: "Young lady is an excellent needlework woman. I think Concubine Shu will see your efforts."

"hope so!"

After Xia agreed to go back, she felt a burning heart and a stuffy chest. Looking at the shabby furnishings in the room, she couldn't help but get angry at the maid beside her: "You tactless thing, you didn't see that I was thirsty, but you didn't bring me water. Do you want me to die of thirst?"

"My lord, calm down. My lord, calm down."
