“He’s a good talker. He doesn’t need to stand. Come sit next to me and talk to me.”
An Ning's situation was special, but Kangxi was very patient with her. Normally, when a concubine served him for the first time, they would get straight to the point.
An Ning sat shyly beside Kangxi and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
An Ning carefully sat down next to Kangxi, no more than two fists away from him. As the distance closed, the room between the two was instantly filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Kangxi was in control of this ambiguous atmosphere, and Anning's face turned really red. Damn it, Kangxi wasn't exactly handsome, but he was exceptionally good at flirting, and his techniques were skillful without being vulgar.
We can't compete, we really can't compete.
After Kangxi asked her to sit down, he remained silent, only glancing at her with seemingly casual eyes. After a while, Anning could no longer bear the atmosphere and finally spoke up: "Your Majesty..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, An Ning blushed even more. With something on her mind, her voice was hoarse and shy when she spoke.
Would Kangxi misunderstand and think she was intentionally seducing him?
Kangxi didn't misunderstand. He was experienced and knew what kind of situation she was in. He felt that he had teased her enough, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Anning."
"Which Anning?"
"Amidst the splendor of blooming flowers, I seek tranquility; amidst the gentle clouds and flowing water, I pass this life. This is my maiden name."
"Your name reflects your gentle and quiet nature. Your father and mother loved you dearly and gave you such a beautiful name."
Anning recalled how kind Fei Yanggu and Jue Luo had been to the original owner of this body and to her, and her face showed a touch of emotion: "Father and Mother have indeed been very good to me."
"I heard from Granny Wulan that even after you were selected, you still personally prepared medicinal herbs for your father and mother. You are very dedicated and filial. I am assigning Granny Wulan to you as your head nanny. Are you doing well with her?"
“Granny Wulan has been very kind to me. I am grateful for Your Majesty’s kindness. However, I have heard that Granny Wulan has been serving in front of the Emperor. I am humbled and unworthy of Your Majesty’s high regard.”
Upon hearing this, Kangxi's impression of her improved considerably; after all, she wasn't stupid.
"Empress Xiaoyi was very fond of you when she was still alive. You fell into the water during the selection process, which delayed your re-selection. If I don't take good care of you, I'm afraid Empress Xiaoyi will not be at ease. You can use Granny Wulan. There's no need to worry about her."
An Ning looked grateful: "I am grateful for the Empress's blessing, and I thank Your Majesty for your concern."
But in my heart, I had a different thought.
I just think Kangxi was a real scoundrel. Empress Xiaoyi liked her because she intended to treat her as a daughter-in-law. If she knew that Kangxi had entered the palace and was still using her name to bestow favors, she would probably be so angry that she would jump out of her coffin.
There's no way to bully people.
