"Your humble servant, An Niaoyi, pays respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and may the little princess be well."
An Niaoyi is very polite. She bows as soon as she enters the door. Her posture is humble and her voice is soft.
It is like a soft stream in the south of the Yangtze River, quiet to see, soft to touch, and makes people feel pity when they smell it.
An Xiaoniao is indeed a girl from the Jiangnan water town. Not only is her skin fair and delicate, she is also graceful and elegant, and her tone of voice is soft and sweet.
[People like this are perfect for being green tea lovers. Just a few simple movements and a bit of coquettishness can make a man's bones melt. It's much more pleasant to listen to than the words spoken by a real woman with a pinched throat.]
In her previous life, An Xiaoniao rose from a humble concubine to the position of consort through her true abilities. She was far more formidable than Zhen Cai's Hunfang companions, a true powerhouse.
[This powerful figure fell silent as soon as she entered the palace, just like in the original book, except that she did not become close friends with Zhen Qia like in the original book.]
[It's strange that he suddenly came to see my mother.]
Feng Wanwan's impression of An Niaoyi in the original book was actually average, because An Niaoyi was also a villain in the original book. She backstabbed Zhen Cai in the book and finally killed Sister Mei.
But if you think from An Niaoyi's perspective, her behavior cannot be considered wrong.
Zhen Cai did introduce her to Feng Yinzhen, but Zhen Cai introduced her because she wanted to use her to win favor, not because she wanted to help her good sister live a good life.
When An Niaoyi encountered a critical situation, Zhen Cai chose to shirk responsibility. She then went to the Queen for help and became a chess piece of the Queen.
But now that Feng Wanwan saw An Niaoyi in person, her heart was moved and she felt more sympathetic towards An Xiaoniao.
There is no way, who made her like beautiful women? An Niaoyi herself really meets her aesthetic standards.
Feng Wanwan was muttering here, and Concubine Hua was also a little surprised and confused.
I don’t know why this hidden powerful boss that Wanwan mentioned suddenly came to her.
But her face was calm, and she raised her hand in a friendly manner with a smile.
"Hurry up, Suzhi, and have some tea."
He looked at An Niaoyi's clothes again and frowned slightly.
"Some time ago, the Emperor showed mercy and had the Imperial Household Department make a new batch of clothes for everyone in the palace. Why don't you see them wearing them?"
"Your Majesty, originally we did have some, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that two of the embroiderers had collapsed from exhaustion, so the clothes in our courtyard will be shown later. Anyway, I still have some to wear, so there is no rush. I am sorry to have caused Your Majesty to worry."
An Niaoyi felt warm in her heart, and her liking for Concubine Hua immediately increased.
What about the two embroiderers being exhausted and the fact that she would be given the money later? To put it bluntly, it was just that the people in the Imperial Household Department felt that she was not favored and not valued.
In addition, the main concubine of the Yanx Palace, Concubine Meng, only cared about food and didn't care about other things, so the people in the Imperial Household Department neglected her even more.
But since she chose not to compete for favor, she had naturally anticipated such a thing a long time ago, so she didn't take it to heart.
But now, she had just met Concubine Hua and she immediately asked about this matter, which shows that this sister is attentive and a good sister who understands her subordinates.
"How long has it been? The exhausted embroiderer should have recovered by now. Why haven't your clothes been delivered yet? Those bastards in the Imperial Household Department must be deliberately neglecting it!"
When Concubine Hua heard this, she frowned, looked unhappy, and turned around to give instructions to the little palace maid beside her.
"Hua Meng, go get Wang Guiquan, the head steward of the Imperial Household Department."
"Yes, my Lord."
Hua Meng responded.
An Niaoyi didn't even have time to stop her, Hua Meng had already left quickly.
Not long after, Wang Guiquan, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, hurried over. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed his head to pay his respects to Concubine Hua. When he looked up, he saw An Niaoyi and immediately looked surprised.
"Oh my, An promised you were here with the Imperial Concubine. I just brought someone to deliver the new clothes I had made for you, my young master, but you weren't in the courtyard. I was so worried."
"So the clothes have been delivered? Thank you so much, Eunuch Wang. I'm so grateful for your trouble."
An Niaoyi immediately stood up, took out a piece of silver the size of a finger from her purse and stuffed it into Wang Guiquan's hand.
Even though she had never been out of the harem, she still knew the relationships in the palace.
Wang Guiquan was a distant relative of Concubine Hua. As soon as she arrived at Concubine Hua's place, Wang Guiquan sent new clothes to her palace. It was obvious that he sent them to her just for Concubine Hua's face.
Since others have given her such face, she can't let Concubine Hua really punish Wang Guiquan. Of course, she will take advantage of the situation and get away from this situation, and then establish a good relationship with Wang Guiquan.
In this way, all three sides will look good and get benefits. In the future, it will be convenient for the palace maids and eunuchs in her courtyard to go to the Imperial Household Department to get things.
Wang Guiquan was polite at first.
"This is our duty, how can we let you spend money?"
Then he took the silver coin after a lot of arguing, his face full of joy.
"Or I will say that An is kind-hearted and magnanimous, and is willing to sympathize with the difficulties of the people below. I will remember the kindness of Master An, and thank you for your kindness."
"You are too polite, sir. We are just being considerate of each other. In the future, Niaoyi will inevitably trouble you, sir. Please understand me when that happens."
Seeing him accept the money, An Niaoyi's smile was obviously relaxed.
She was born in a humble family, and her family had already exhausted all their money to send her to the selection. Her position in the palace was low, so her salary was naturally small.
