The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 536 Farewell
Because Yan Hua had a prejudice against An Xu in her heart, she naturally treated her coldly.

Guo promised not to make enemies, and after combing Yanhua's bun, he retreated to take care of the two pots of pomegranate trees.Now that spring has just started, the two pomegranate trees are only beginning to show signs of recovery, and there is nothing to take care of, so Guo Xu followed the maid's reminder, took a small flower shovel, and carefully loosened the soil for the pomegranate trees.

An promised to take a look at her leisurely back, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.

"Didn't you say you don't need to come here every day? Why are you here again?" Yanhua's tone was a bit cold, and she glanced at her before going to have breakfast.

An promised to serve obediently by her side all the time, and said with a smile on her face, "It's a concubine's blessing to be able to serve your empress, so let me accept it."

Yanhua glanced at her indifferently, and ate in silence.After using it up, she listened to what Shaoyao said, and then promised An: "I have something to do today, so go back first."

An Xu's face was a bit embarrassed, but Yanhua didn't have time to talk to her, after saying that, she chatted with Shaoyao and left the main hall.

An promised to walk to Guo promised with a displeased face: "Is my sister not leaving? Your mother said that you have something to do today."

Guo promised to be stunned, and nodded at her with a smile: "In that case, I will resign after loosening the soil in this pot. Thank you for reminding me."

"My arm is still hurting. Why do I have to do this kind of rough work? Just let these slaves do it." An promised to look at her arm with concern, and then looked at the maid who was standing next to him and taught Guo promised how to loosen the soil. , a little unhappy.

The court lady who was stared at by her was a little at a loss, she hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and reminded: "Su promised, it was the empress who asked Guo to take care of the two pomegranate trees."

"Sister, don't blame them. It's my sister who made Concubine Xi unhappy, so she asked me to take care of these two pomegranate trees so that I can cultivate my mind." Guo promised to lie after thinking about it.She didn't want to offend Ann and agreed, because she was afraid that she would embarrass herself in the future.

Chun Juan looked at Guo Xu in surprise, not understanding why she changed to such a low-key rhetoric.Hey, she thinks that her master is good everywhere, but she is too afraid of trouble, round and flat to be pinched by others, and never knows to protest.

Sure enough, when An promised to hear that she came here to take care of the pomegranate tree after being punished, a smile appeared in her eyes: "Concubine Xi has always been kind to others, so please don't feel resentful, younger sister. Reasonable, after the empress calms down, she won't argue with my younger sister anymore."

Chun Juan twitched the corners of his mouth, curled his lips in disdain, but because he lowered his head, others did not see it.

When An promised to leave Jingren Palace, she saw Qian Gui, with a pale face, and came to Jingren Palace in a daze. When she saw her, she had no luggage.She was sullen for a while, but she didn't dare to embarrass him, she just cursed twice and left.

Seeing that Qian Gui came back, Shao Yao ordered someone to bring two food boxes and sent Guo Xu back to the master and servant.After Guo promised to go back, he found out that the two boxes contained spring rolls of various colors: shrimp, red bean paste, mustard greens, shredded pork...

The maid who sent them back said that Concubine Xi saw that the maid serving Guo Xu was called spring rolls, and she thought that Guo Xu liked to eat this kind of dessert, so she called her that, so she ordered people to make them.

Chun Juan's face flushed instantly, and he was too ashamed to lift his head.

She has loved to eat spring rolls since she was a child, and somehow her Ama gave it such a vulgar name.She herself was used to hearing it, but now she was suddenly brought up by Empress Xi to talk about it, and she was suddenly very reserved...

"Your Majesty, the servant is not allowed to serve your Majesty in the future, please don't blame the servant." Qian Gui was taken to the side hall as soon as he returned to Jingren Palace, where Yanhua was waiting with a worried look on his face.

As soon as Qian Gui saw her, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times. In fact, when he did those things at the beginning, it was all based on momentary anger, and he never expected that things would become unmanageable.Ben made up his mind to walk resolutely, but seeing his former benefactor in front of him, he still couldn't help but get tears in his eyes.

"What are you talking about? Why do you say such... parting words?" Yanhua felt uneasy, thinking of Su Peisheng's words about letting Qian Gui out of the palace, she couldn't make any sense at all.

Qian Gui stabilized his mind, wiped away his tears and kowtowed again: "Madam, this slave has never told Madam and all the sisters about his family background."

But every man who is willing to enter the palace to be a eunuch has a bitter experience before entering the palace.If it weren't for the poverty of the family, who would be willing to give up their lifeblood and be an incomplete eunuch?The eunuchs of the previous dynasty still had high-ranking role models, but in the Qing Dynasty, where would the emperor be willing to reuse eunuchs?

Therefore, none of the eunuchs in the palace were willing to talk about their family background, but whenever they mentioned that sad past, they would inevitably recall the pain of purging.It was a past that they could not bear to look back on.

Therefore, I only heard that my father-in-law boasted about his family background in various ways after he gained power, but I never saw anyone telling the truth.The other eunuchs also know the inside story, so everyone has only heard about ear addiction, and no one has ever taken it seriously.

Qiangui has also done such bragging things.

The name Qian Gui was chosen by himself, and he used it before entering the palace.His family name was not Qian, but because the family was too poor and the most lacking thing was money, so after he passed away, he changed his name and surname. He felt that being an eunuch was really ashamed of his ancestors.

It's money and expensive, and I hope to be rich in the future.

There is an old mother in his family, as well as a younger brother and elder sister.

"Your Majesty may not remember. More than 20 years ago, Your Majesty saved the life of the servant. The servant was young at that time and hadn't had enough food for a few days. When he was so hungry and dizzy, he accidentally fell in front of the carriage of the Emperor and the Empress. ...The empress not only did not blame the slave and the old mother, but also asked someone to give the slave a piece of silver...that is life-saving silver..."

At that time, Qian Gui's father had just had his leg broken.But the family is so empty that they can't scrape together a single bit of extra copper money to hire a doctor.Qian Gui is the second child, with an older sister who has just reached Ji, and a younger brother who is just babbling.

Because Qian Gui has not had enough food and clothing for a long time, he is eight years old, but looks as thin as five or six years old.

The whole family depends on his father to support him, but now his father is lying and moaning all day, whether he can survive is a question.

His mother really had no choice but to sell his eldest sister to someone else as a slave.Unexpectedly, the master of that family is a womanizer, I am afraid that after his elder sister is gone, he will never be innocent again.

His mother spent all the money she got from selling her eldest sister on his father's leg. After the money was used up, his father's leg was finally saved.

But during the period when his father was recuperating, they began to suffer from hunger again.

If Concubine Xi hadn't given the five taels of silver to help them overcome the difficulties, Qian Gui couldn't imagine whether his parents and younger brother would still be alive in this world.Especially his younger brother, who was only three years old at that time, was so skinny.Every time he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by his younger brother, babbling and yelling that he was hungry, he couldn't help wiping away tears secretly.

At that time, Qian Gui knew a child. Someone in the family was a eunuch in the palace. The child's family was blessed because of this, and the whole family had no worries about food and clothing.Qian Gui didn't know the pain of being an eunuch, he only thought that being an eunuch could make money, and it would be best if he could earn enough money to redeem his elder sister, so he asked his parents to agree and voluntarily entered the palace to become a eunuch.

That year, when he was eight years old, he almost couldn't survive the cleansing.

The past was unbearable, if he didn't want to thank Concubine Xi honestly before leaving, he wouldn't want to mention it again.

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to Yanhua a few more times: "...Your Majesty, now that the slave's mother is old and my brother is a prodigal, the slave really can't feel at ease! That's why the slave learned about Lama Temple Now that there is a lack of someone to take care of things, I asked Eunuch Su for this job, and it is convenient for me to take care of my mother outside the palace... I am an ungrateful slave, and I will never be able to serve my empress in the future. If you want to scold me, you can scold me..."

The former Prince Yong's Mansion has now been converted into a palace, called Lama Temple.

After hearing Qian Gui's words, Yanhua's heart ached.She has never felt the torment of poverty. Although her Ama is not as good as many people, she has always made her and her brothers have no worries about food and clothing.

"What are you scolding? Are you ungrateful? Get up!" Yanhua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

She no longer remembers that someone gave him money, let alone when he crashed into the carriage she was riding in.But she was very fortunate that she had kind thoughts and helped him for a while.

When Qian Gui packed up his things and left, Yan Hua was still in a daze.

Ever since Qian Gui went to pack her things, she was in a daze, and after Qian Gui knelt away, she was still in a daze.Although she was reluctant to let Qian Gui go, what reason did she have to keep him?If it is said that he owes a kindness, he has paid back that kindness by serving him with all his heart and soul in the past few years.

It was gloomy outside, and it seemed that it was going to rain in spring.It has been cloudy for several days, and I don't know if it will rain today.

The dreary weather is just like Yanhua's heart at the moment, it is quite difficult to even breathe.

"Niang Niang, it's getting dark, go back and rest." Lingxi didn't dare to disturb her loudly, but stepped forward to hold her arm and lead her to the main hall.

Yan Hua let out a long sigh, and lowered her head in a lonely way.

After Qian Gui left the palace, there was no laughter in Jingren Palace for more than half a month.Xiao Yu'er was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve in Jingren Palace. Although Yanhua did not agree to let him be the chief eunuch, Xiao Yu'er's errand was no different from that of the chief eunuch.

Before Qian Gui left, all the eunuchs from Jingren Palace were called to one place, and they were told in detail to be loyal to Concubine Xi and to act cleanly.Jin San cried the most. Jin San was the little eunuch who had begged Yanhua to save Qian Gui before. He was only 15 years old, he was serious in his work, and loved to cry.

"Qian Gui, did you really get appreciation from Director Su when you left the palace? Did you really go to Lama Temple to work as an errand..." Jin San cried like a tearful man, with tears and snot in his nose.Jin Sanjing's age is also early, so he has grown up to such a big age, and his voice is still a little childish, shrill and not harsh, very mellow.

Qian Gui nodded, and patted him on the shoulder: "Your Majesty is a good master. You will serve me well in the future. Don't always call Mr. Su like Mr. Su. Eunuch Su doesn't like us calling him like that. In the future I can't help you by my side, you have to pay more attention to everything..."

Jin San cried even harder, and this crying lasted for more than half a month. Every time he finished his errands, he would go back to the side room to secretly wipe his tears.

"Crying again! When Aunt Xinxinxi saw it and slapped you!" Xiao Yu'er saw Jin San wiping her tears as soon as she entered, and sighed bitterly, "Wipe your tears quickly, hurry up!" Go to the Tai Hospital!"
