Chapter 142: Gege is promoted
At Kangxi's request, Manhua first came to the Chengqian Palace where Concubine Tong Jia lived and helped her deal with some trivial matters.
After Concubine Tong Jia saluted her in Manhua, she said to her: "Manhua Gege, from today onwards, you will assist the palace in managing the affairs of the harem, you go to see all the ladies first, and say hello to them!" ”
"Yes!" Manhua nodded in agreement.
The concubines of the Forbidden City sat in the imperial garden, and when they saw Manhua approaching, they saluted them and greeted her with a smile: "Manhua Gege, hello!" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the servants will assist the concubine in managing some affairs of the harem, please take care of them!"
"Yes! In the future, we will have more opportunities to eat melon seeds together, ha! Those harem concubines, seeing Manhua talking very politely, also greeted and laughed with her warmly.
"Manhua Gege, your cheongsam is very beautiful, did you make it yourself or did you send it to the palace from Prince An's mansion?" The concubines surrounded Manhua and asked nonsense.
"Thank you for the compliments, this is Prince and Princess An asked someone to send to the palace to the slaves!" Manhua replied.
The concubines kept praising Manhua's cheongsam for being beautiful, and she was a little embarrassed to be praised.
"Gege, you look beautiful, and the cheongsam you wear is also beautiful, don't be embarrassed!"
"We are your elders, and it will not be wrong for the elders to speak!"
"Yes, Manhua Gege, your appearance is very festive, I like it when I look at it!"
Although the concubines in the palace were smiling, they were actually drunkards who didn't mean to drink, and Ming and Manhua were laughing, but in fact, they were secretly figuring out the meaning of her words and how Concubine Tong Jia would manage the harem in the future.
Manhua looked at these concubines in front of him, thinking to himself that these harem concubines seemed to be very educated when they spoke, but they might be substantial, but they were difficult!
Prince An knew that Manhua was helping Concubine Tong Jia take care of things, and he was happy for her, because this was a prelude to her becoming a royal daughter-in-law. He looked for an opportunity to meet Manhua and said to her: "Master, there are so many powerful concubines in the Forbidden City, my grandfather is really worried about you!"
Manhua said to Prince An: "It's okay, grandfather, don't worry!"
Prince An was afraid that Manhua would go wrong in the palace, so he asked his princess to quietly give them to the ladies of the palace with large bags of gifts. He and she did this because they were worried that if Manhua did something wrong in the palace, those concubines would at least look at their own face and give some face, so they would not be too embarrassed by Manhua.
"You go to the palace to help, it is estimated that it is providence, you must do a good job! If it is the will of God, then it cannot be violated by the will of God! Prince An smiled and patted Manhua gently.
Some of the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of the palace knew that Manhua was now following Concubine Tong Jia to manage the affairs of the harem, and there was no one around, so they asked Manhua what dishes he liked to eat and what tea he liked to drink, and they wanted to invite Manhua to eat!
"Buddies and sisters, you are really friends!" Manhua thought about trying to win over these eunuchs and palace maids, and said, "Everyone, you can just get some side dishes, I will definitely arrive!" ”
"How can it be casual? Manhua Gege will be our boss in the future, and he can't be casual! Besides, we also like to eat, drink and gamble a little money, Gege if you like, join our team! ”
When Manhua heard those eunuchs say this, he couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Just eat some good food and drink some good wine, but I can't gamble, ha." ”
"Manhua Gege is really a friend, if there is an order in the future, as long as we can help, we will definitely help!" Those big and small directors said to Manhua.
"Okay, when the time comes, close the door and have a good time!" Manhua waved at them, meaning that it was decided.
