Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

In Chengqian Palace, the four concubines all looked unhappy after hearing Concubine Tong's words. Who would be willing to hand over the palace affairs they had obtained, especially to someone who was almost the same age as their daughter-in-law? This would make them look incompetent!

Concubine Hui was the oldest, and her expression was the most unpleasant: "My Lady, why did the Emperor want to assign palace affairs to Concubine Shu? Did Concubine Shu say something? I don't believe that the Emperor would be so frivolous as to hand over palace affairs to a concubine who is only in her teens."

An Ning is not even twenty years old, she is so young, why should she do that?

When she first got involved in palace affairs, she was almost thirty years old. It was not easy for her to come this far. How could An Ning get the palace affairs that they worked so hard for so easily?

Concubine Tong's face darkened: "Concubine Hui, this is the emperor's decision. How can you make up the emperor? As for why, you sisters might as well think about what happened recently and what you sisters did."

The four concubines were all stunned, and then they all thought of one thing: Concubine Lin had died suddenly.

But I also feel that it is unlikely. They were involved in the sudden death of Concubine Lin, but the law does not hold everyone responsible, and they were not the masterminds.

Concubine Yi said coldly: "Your Highness, are you kidding? Nothing major has happened recently, and I didn't do anything."

No matter what, Concubine Yi refused to admit it.

The other three, like Concubine Yi, expressed their opinions one after another, and Concubine Tong was furious.

"Right and wrong are in people's hearts. No matter whether you have done it or not, the key is what the emperor thinks. Sisters, you should quickly prepare the palace affairs to be handed in. The emperor will send someone to pick them up tomorrow. Sisters, you must know that the emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed."

Silence, and still silence. Finally, it was Concubine De who spoke first: "Since it is the emperor's will, I will naturally obey. I will go back and prepare first and will not disturb your majesty."

After saying this, Concubine De took her leave.

The other three also knew that things had come to this point and they couldn't just refuse to give it. Since Concubine De was tactful, they had to be even more tactful.

But I thought to myself that the palace affairs could be handed out, but as to whether An Ning could take over, that was another matter.

Even if you are destined to get great wealth, it does not mean you can keep it forever. If the emperor knew that An Ning was not capable enough, the palace affairs would naturally return to their hands. After thinking it through, the three of them took their leave.

After they left, Imperial Concubine Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but feel a little gloating: "Shu Fei is lucky, she has the emperor's support, but I don't know if she can keep having such a good life. The four concubines are trying to trip her up, let's see if she can bear it."

The nanny smiled: "There is gain and loss, your Majesty is sitting on the Diaoyutai, your Majesty just needs to watch them fight."

Concubine Tong nodded: "Yes, I don't have any children, so I'll just watch the show."

The harem here was too quiet, and now it finally has some life.

The next day, the four concubines handed over part of the palace affairs in their hands to Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong called An Ning to Chengqian Palace and handed over those palace affairs to An Ning. An Ning returned to Changchun Palace with several boxes of account books.

Back in the study, An Ning had Yin Yi placed in a cradle nearby and asked Aunt Ulan to look after him while she began to look at the account book.

As An Ning expected, the palace tasks brought by the four concubines were all trivial, unprofitable and prone to error.

She easily accepted the Four Concubines' challenges, and then began to deal with the traps and problems.

After that, An Ning was busy for a long time. Yin Yi was well-behaved and didn't make much noise. When An Ning was handling palace affairs, he would stay by her side without crying or making any noise. The palace people in Changchun Palace said that this child came to repay their gratitude. It was rare to have such a well-behaved child.

It was three months later when Concubine An Ning took control of this part of the palace affairs.

The four concubines were restless, but there was no major incident. Kangxi was keeping them under control, so they dared not make any big noise for fear that Kangxi would find out. By then, the only remaining palace affairs might be gone, and that would be a loss.

But small things keep happening, they are troublesome, trivial and difficult to deal with.

With the help of Aunt Wulan, and the fact that she was originally an expert in housekeeping and had a lot of modern experience, although there were some troubles, she still managed to handle them.

Seeing this, the four concubines knew that the situation was settled. The ability displayed by An Ning was much stronger than they had imagined. Even at their age, they could not be so thorough.

This time, they lost.

An Ning has taken charge of this part of the palace affairs.

Because there are not many palace affairs, An Ning does not need to spend too much time dealing with them, and most of her time is used to enrich herself.

When Yinyi was six months old, An Ning took the initiative to meet Jueluo.

After entering the palace, An Ning did not see Jueluo very often. In order to avoid being accused of colluding with people outside the palace, concubines were very careful about how many times they met with their natal relatives.

Jueluo came once after An Ning gave birth. This was the second time, and it was An Ning who took the initiative to see her.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."

Before Jueluo finished her greetings, An Ning hurried forward to stop her: "Mother, there is no need to be so polite. Get up quickly."

Jueluo: "Rituals cannot be abolished."

As they were talking, An Ning brought Jueluo into the study, and asked all the palace people to go out, leaving Bai Guo guarding the door.

Seeing An Ning's appearance, Jueluo was very relieved: "It seems that the queen has recovered well after giving birth to the sixteenth prince, so mother is relieved."

An Ning thought of her son, and her face softened: "Yin Yi is a child who loves his mother very much. He didn't bother me much when I was pregnant with him, and he is even more well-behaved now. When my daughter is doing palace affairs and puts him in the cradle, he doesn't cry or make a fuss. When something happens, he just hums a few times."

Jueluo thought her daughter was very lucky: "That's good, Your Majesty is blessed, but there is one thing I don't quite understand, why did the Emperor suddenly let you take charge of some palace affairs? Isn't it too conspicuous?"

Although Jueluo was happy that An Ning was favored, her status was promoted, she had a son, and she also had palace affairs, it is said that everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. Jueluo believed in the doctrine of the mean and was afraid that her daughter would be too blessed. One must know that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

An Ning explained: "On the night after Yin Yi's full moon banquet, a concubine suddenly died in Changchun Palace. The four concubines were the ones who pushed her. Concubine Yu died and many palace servants were implicated. The emperor gave his daughter some palace duties."

Jueluo was even more worried: "If that's the case, wouldn't it attract the attention of the four concubines? Did they do anything to you?"

An Ning comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. They dare not do anything big. They are just small fights. My daughter can handle them. Now these small fights are gone. They also understand that this is the emperor's intention. My daughter's safety is not a problem."

Jueluo was relieved after hearing this, but still reminded: "Having said that, you still have to be careful and don't make enemies everywhere."

An Ning nodded: "My daughter understands that there are no permanent enemies. They know that I am not easy to mess with, so I can only try to win them over in the future."

Jueluo: "It's good that you know what's going on."

After chatting for a while, An Ning explained her purpose: "Mother, I need your help with something."

"what's up?"

"Now that I have Yin Yi, he will have to leave the palace and build his own residence when he grows up. But by then, I may not be able to enjoy the same favor as I do today. I have to make more plans for Yin Yi, so I want you to help me manage a few hot spring villas."

After hearing this, Jueluo thought more. Kangxi was not young anymore, he was in his early forties. When Yinyi reached the age of getting married in the future, it would be fine if the emperor was the current emperor at that time, as he would not treat his own son too unfairly. But if he was not the current emperor, the Imperial Household Department would probably have a different attitude.
