Chapter 6: Carefully Prepared
This green card was just delivered, and there’s already a response. Lin Wanyi was truly a bit speechless.
However, upon reconsideration, she realized that she was brought into the palace to help Lin Guifei secure favor, naturally needing to serve in bed early to calm the hearts of those inside and outside the palace.
With this thought, she felt at ease.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for coming to inform me. Xia An, serve tea to Mr. Qin."
In terms of rank, she was merely a Ninth Grade concubine, while Qin An, though a servant, was a seventh-rank Vice Director within the Inner Court Department.
Moreover, he moved within the imperial court, so it was appropriate to offer a bit more courtesy.
"There’s no need for such formalities, my lady. Later, a Sleeping Nanny will come to explain the rules of serving in bed; just follow them accordingly."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Chief Manager Quan was right; this newly appointed concubine is indeed formidable, not only maintaining her composure but also being exceptionally courteous and kind in her interactions.
In the palace, servants often show respect to the higher-ups; however, no one comes with that expression from birth. When encountering someone courteous, they would give an extra bit of face.
"These two must be Miss Chun Qi and Miss Xia An. If anything is needed in the palace in the future, just call on Xiao Luzi. He is my apprentice, diligent and reliable; I specially sent him to run errands for you."
After saying this, he signaled to the back, and soon a handsome little eunuch stepped forward.
