Sure enough, Wang Guiquan's face was full of respect and obedience, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, I will remember the Imperial Concubine's words. If anyone is found to have dared to disrespect An Cheng, he will be punished!"
"Okay, it's none of your business. Go ahead and don't disturb me and An."
Concubine Hua seemed impatient with him standing in front of her and waved her hand.
Wang Guiquan bowed respectfully and left.
This time, even An Niaoyi followed suit, and his manners were very thorough. It was obvious that he had a lot more respect for An Niaoyi.
An Niaoyi felt more at peace.
When the palace became quiet, Concubine Hua looked at An Niaoyi and regained her previous gentleness and kindness.
“When the selection was made that day, I thought you were good, and you are indeed a good candidate. However, you seem unwilling to move around, and you rarely come to my Yikun Palace.
Now that we're in the harem, we're all sisters. We should hang out more with each other to show our affection, right?"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Niaoyi is timid by nature and she doesn't dare to come to Yikun Palace easily because she is afraid of disturbing Your Majesty.
But since Her Majesty likes it, Niaoyi will come to accompany Her Majesty whenever she is free to add some fun to her life."
Although An Niaoyi always spoke in a soft and timid tone and behaved in a reserved manner, she never failed to say the right words at the right time.
Feng Wanwan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
I've always known this, this An Xiaoniao is a hidden powerhouse. Even though he comes from a humble background and doesn't look like he's experienced the world, he's actually very sensible, has a high emotional intelligence, and knows exactly what to say and when.
[This kind of person just lacks a strong background. Otherwise, with her strength and hard work, she might really be crowned as the queen.]
[In the original novel, she was the Queen's supporter and my mother's enemy. Although my mother died early and didn't get to fight her, I suspect that even if my mother lived a few more years and faced this woman, she wouldn't necessarily be her match.]
However, things have changed in this life. The Queen is still keeping a tight rein on her. My mother took the initiative to extend an olive branch to An Xiaoniao. I watched coldly, and An Xiaoniao was willing to accept it.
"That's good! My mother has one less strong opponent, and there's one less danger in this harem. Not bad, not bad."
[But, An Xiaoniao came to see my mother today, what exactly is going on? ]
Concubine Hua smiled slightly, rubbing her palm on Feng Wanwan's back, comforting her: Baby, don't worry, we will know what she is here for soon.
Concubine Hua looked at An Niaoyi with increasingly gentle eyes and a deeper smile on her lips.
"That's good. You should come to Yikun Palace more often in the future. It will make the place more lively."
"Yes, I will come here often in the future."
An Niaoyi nodded again, then called Baojuan, who had been standing aside for a long time, over, opened the cloth on the tray, and took out a set of clothes and a pair of cute tiger-head shoes.
He presented it to Concubine Hua with both hands.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do in the palace, so I made a dress and a pair of tiger-head shoes for Princess Chunxi. I will consider this as a gift for the little princess. I hope Your Majesty and the little princess will not mind my humble needlework."
“What exquisite embroidery!”
Concubine Hua was attracted by the embroidery on the dress at first sight. Her eyes were full of surprise. She took it immediately and praised it highly.
"Sister An, I really didn't know you had such a skillful pair of hands that could make such exquisite clothes.
This dress is even more exquisite than the one made by the most skillful embroiderer in the embroidery house."
"As long as the Queen doesn't mind, Niaoyi will be relieved."
An Niaoyi showed a happy smile on her face, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
I was originally worried that the imperial concubine would look down on my craftsmanship, but I didn't expect that the imperial concubine actually liked it so much.
"How could I dislike it? Our An Xiaoniao is known as the most skillful woman in the palace. This dress fits her perfectly, and it's so exquisite and lovely. I like it the moment I see it."
My favorite is this pair of tiger-head shoes. They look so energetic. Even though I can't walk yet, I still want to wear them.
[Quick, is there anyone who can understand me and help me put on these tiger-head shoes?]
Feng Wanwan's eyes widened.
She stared at the pair of tiger-head shoes in An Niaoyi's hand, her eyes full of desire.
In her previous life, she was abandoned by her biological parents little by little, and even food and clothing were problems in her childhood. When had she ever worn such exquisite clothes and shoes?
What's more, these tiger-head shoes not only keep you warm, but also represent the shoemaker's heart.
This is to hope that she will grow up healthy and strong like a little tiger and live a lively life.
She liked such thoughts and wishes very much, and also liked An Niaoyi in front of her.
Concubine Hua heard Feng Wanwan's thoughts and was just about to reach out to take the shoes and help Feng Wanwan change into them.
Little did she know that An Niaoyi had already understood Feng Wanwan's expectation from her eyes. She smiled and held the pair of tiger-head shoes in her hands. She half-knelt in front of Concubine Hua's knees and put the tiger-head shoes on Feng Wanwan's feet.
Her ten white and tender fingers were slender, with slight calluses visible on the fingertips. She was very gentle and delicate in putting on Feng Wanwan's shoes.
From Feng Wanwan's perspective, she felt that An Niaoyi was gentle and lovely, and her heart was moved again.
[So this is why An Xiaoniao came to see my mother today.]
She came to my mother to look for someone to look after and rely on, which is why she was so humble in front of my mother and even knelt down to put my shoes on me.
[This An Xiaoniao not only has great skills, but also has a heart that can bend and stretch. Such a person may appear weak, but in fact he is very strong.]
[It's terrifying to have such a person as an enemy, but coincidentally, my mother wanted to recruit this person as a subordinate, and An Xiaoniao also took the initiative to come to my mother.]
【What a coincidence! Both are fine, everyone is happy! 】
Concubine Hua looked at An Niaoyi's gentle face and felt in her heart: Isn't it just a coincidence? Everyone is happy?
When An Niaoyi put on Feng Wanwan's shoes and raised her head, her two big eyes on her delicate white face were filled with anticipation.
"Little princess, do you like these tiger-head shoes?"
【I like it, I like it very much! 】
Feng Wanwan giggled, stretched out her two little arms that looked like lotus roots, wrapped them around her neck, and made two "oh" sounds.
This is for her to hug.
An Niaoyi's eyes were instantly filled with surprise, and then she looked at Concubine Hua with a questioning look.
Concubine Hua nodded, nodded slightly at her, and smiled brightly.
"An agreed. Wanwan said she really likes the clothes and shoes you gave her, and she likes you too."
"I also particularly like Princess Chunxi. When I first met her, I thought she was icy and adorable, and I couldn't get enough of her."
An Niaoyi took Feng Wanwan in her arms, and couldn't help but get close to Feng Wanwan.
But then he heard Concubine Hua on the side saying something with a smile.
