Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

That night, both of them felt good about each other as they got to know each other.

I feel that Kangxi's technology is really good! It's not a loss.

One experience doubles the happiness! It feels wonderful!

The next day, Kangxi came to the Changchun Palace to check in again. It was another night of spring breeze and the red quilt was fluttering...

Only then did Kangxi stop entering the harem.

Having slept with the emperor three times in a row, this favor was nothing in Kangxi's early years. At that time, there were not many people in the harem that Kangxi liked, such as Rongfei, Defei, Yifei, Cheng Guiren, Liang Guiren... All of them had experienced being the only one favored.

Of course, the exclusive favor doesn’t last long.

Now that Kangxi was old, the harem was flourishing with concubines all dressed up gorgeously, which was dazzling to the eyes.

Kangxi's heart became even colder and harder. He still had some tenderness towards his former concubines, but now the young concubines and commoners in the harem were almost consumables in his eyes.

An Ning slept with Emperor Kangxi for three consecutive days and was rewarded generously after that. It was obvious that Kangxi valued her.

Kangxi's attitude towards her determined the attitude of everyone in the harem towards her.

The high-ranking concubines in the harem all had a tacit understanding. They saw through Kangxi's nature of being fickle-minded. Now that their children have grown up, they have less intention of vying for favor. Faced with Kangxi's successive new favorites, they are all quite friendly.

If the new favorites are sensible and respectful to them, they will not be troubled even if they lose their favor. If the new favorites are not sensible and rely on their favor to become brainless and arrogant and disrespectful to them, when Kangxi wears off the novelty, then life... will probably be difficult!

An Ning was somewhat different from Kangxi's previous favorites, as she had a good family background.

Let's put it this way, if An Ning's family background makes her become a noble concubine or imperial noble concubine without any children in the future, there will be no objection from the previous dynasty. If she has a child, and Kangxi wants to make her the empress, I'm afraid no one can really stop her.

The family heritage is there!

Sixth day in the palace, afternoon.

Chen Changzai came over with the clothes she had made herself.

"I have seen your Majesty."

An Ning smiled and said, "No need to be polite, Mrs. Chen. Sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, empress."

After she sat down, An Ning spoke: "Didn't I tell you that you only need to come here on the first and fifteenth of every month? Why are you here today? Is there anything wrong with the people serving you?"

Chen Changzai smiled and shook her head: "Since the majesty came to Changchun Palace, my life has been much better. The palace servants around me have worked harder after being taught a lesson by Madam Wulan. I have nothing, but I am a decent embroidery expert, so I made a dress for the majesty."

An Ning found it interesting. Could this be the legendary surrender?

Aunt Ulan told her about the specific situation of the three people living in the back.

Before serving Kangxi, Chen Changzai was an embroidery maid serving Concubine Duan. Her embroidery skills were truly rare.

It is said that the reason why Concubine Duan pushed her out to serve him in the emperor's bedchamber was because the clothes she made for her were praised by Emperor Kangxi, and she was also very good-looking, so Concubine Duan pushed her out with great reluctance.

"I have heard that you have excellent embroidery skills. I am very thoughtful. I will accept the clothes. Clothes are large items. It would be bad if you hurt your eyes. In fact, you can just make a handkerchief or purse. Chunlan, go to the warehouse and pick out two pieces of fabric and have someone send them to Chen Changzai. Since I have your clothes, I will not let you suffer any loss."

Chen Changzai didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

"Thank you for the reward, empress."

Even though the Ministry of Internal Affairs spends a lot of money on the harem every year, there is not much that can actually be spent on them.

The life of the unfavored concubines in the palace was not as comfortable as that of the favored daughters of the big landlords outside the palace! The Ministry of Internal Affairs treated the unfavored concubines even more leniently, and sometimes the food, clothing and other expenses sent to them could not be used.

An Ning rewarded her with two pieces of cloth, which saved her a lot of money and made her life much more comfortable.

An Ning chatted with Chen Changzai for a few words and then let her leave.

After Chen Changzai left, Bai Guo asked, "My Lady, is this Chen Changzai planning to join you?"

"I am the head of Changchun Palace, so it is not a question of whether I should rely on her or not. Since she is willing, I am happy to give her face. There must be someone living in Changchun Palace. Chen Changzai seems to be quite well behaved now. I think as long as she does not cause trouble for Changchun Palace, it would be fine to give her some benefits."

This is called spending money to avoid disaster, and the money being spent is not hers.

The materials she gave were all sent by the concubines in the harem. She did not intend to use them, and the palace maids could not use those materials, so she gave them to Chen Changzai to prevent them from being stored in the warehouse and spoiled.

Shancha: "My lady, I heard that Xia Ying went to see Chen Changzai twice recently. The two talked alone in the room for a long time. Xia Yingzai even went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy rouge and powder at a high price. She also asked her personal maid to get close to Xiao Shanzi intentionally or unintentionally, trying to find out how you get along with the emperor. Is it a trick that Chen Changzai suddenly came to show her goodwill?"

An Ning was not surprised.

Xia Ying and Chen Changzai are not even thirty yet! In An Ning's opinion, this is the best age for a woman. There is a Defei in the palace who gave birth to a child at the age of nearly thirty. It is normal for her to have any thoughts, and it would be strange if she didn't!

"You are watching them, let someone watch them. If the emperor can remember them, there is no need to stop them. If the emperor can't remember them, then forget it."

The women in the harem were all vying for favor. Xia Da Ying had this desire, and she was neither terrified nor ashamed. After all, everyone wanted to strive to be the best.

After all, they were Kangxi's women, so she really couldn't control whether Kangxi favored them or not. She wouldn't do such a thing as pimping, but...

"Of course, if anyone wants to climb up by stepping on my face, you don't have to be polite."

"Mammy, I wonder if it is convenient for the low-ranking concubines in this palace to change palaces?"

Wulan Ma thought for a moment and replied, "It's not a big deal. If your majesty thinks that a young lady is suitable for you, you can inform the head queen of the other palace and report it to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine usually won't refuse such a consensual thing."

An Ning smiled and said: "That's good. If I use some dirty tricks to change her palace, I think there will be a queen willing to give me this face."

Many of the concubines in the palace are unfavored and childless, and some of them even have families that are not yet in poverty, so I think they would be willing to give her some face.

Shan Cha was relieved now: "Don't worry, Madam, I will keep a close eye on Xia Cheng and the others."

Mainly because Xia agreed.

"You are careful, I am relieved to leave this matter to you."

After Shancha left, Aunt Wulan smiled and said, "It seems to me that the Madam really hopes that Xia will make some noise?"

An Ning smiled. This Aunt Wulan was indeed a woman from the imperial court, and her thoughts could not be hidden from her.

"I've just arrived, so I have to let people know what kind of person I am. Xia promised to be the first to come forward. It would be a pity if I missed it."

"What kind of person does the lady want to be?"

"Of course, I won't offend others unless they offend me! I won't bully others, but I will never allow myself to be bullied."

"Your Majesty, it's a good idea. The Emperor usually turns a blind eye to the competition for favor. It's okay to punish the concubines in his palace who have made mistakes. The Emperor's bottom line is not to cause any deaths, especially the life of the heir to the throne."

"Thanks for the tip, mama."

Kangxi's harem was always calm on the surface, but turbulent in secret. If you were too gentle, you would be bullied.

Kangxi was well aware of this matter and he tacitly approved of it.

"Oh, by the way, Madam, I hope that Concubine Chen is there and behaves herself. Let someone give her some advice. It's not hard to guess what she's thinking. Seeing that Xia is narrowing her path, I hope that Concubine Chen will be a wise person. She is a little smarter than Xia. It's not good for me to replace all the people in Changchun Palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

Nanny Ulan didn't ask what Chen Changzai was thinking, nor did she ask what she wanted to tell Chen Changzai, she knew everything.

An Ning has special abilities and is very sensitive to people. Chen Changzai looks much more energetic today than the day she first entered the palace. Her face must have been carefully maintained, but she still covers it up with makeup.

Compared to Xia's open and aboveboard approach, Chen Changzai was much more timid and smarter, but not to the point.
