Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 267 Kangxi Concubine Ping 4

The next day, Wu Lingzhu took Chunying to Jingyang Ridge.

Passing through the Imperial Garden, Jingyang Palace is not particularly far from Chuxiu Palace.

As soon as he came in, he was stopped by the young eunuch guarding the gate. The young eunuch had never seen Wu Lingzhu, but he knew that he was a master because he was followed by a palace maid. There must be more than one master of this age in the palace, and Kangxi also has many daughters and adopted daughters.

For a moment, I really didn't know who Wu Lingzhu was. I bowed first, then looked at Chunying: "Who is the master?"

Chunying explained: "Our princess is from Chuxiu Palace."

As soon as she said that, the young eunuch knew that Chuxiu Palace was the palace where concubines lived, and the news that Empress Yuan's sister had moved into Chuxiu Palace had indeed spread throughout the palace.

"The servant has met the princess."

"You are too polite, sir. I came here today just to ask if I can borrow a few books from the library to read."

"Princess, please come in first. I will go and call the maid who can take charge."

The young eunuch was very respectful, and Wu Lingzhu knew that this respect was for the surname behind her.

Following the young eunuch into Jingyang Palace, Wu Lingzhu sat down not long before the young eunuch came in with a stern-looking nanny.

"This servant has met the princess."

"No need to be so polite, Mammy."

"Thank you, Princess. I heard that you want to borrow books from the library?"

"I used to study with a female teacher at home. Now that I have entered the palace, I don't want to fall behind the teacher's teachings. I think it would be good to read more books."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang took another look at her. The ten-year-old girl was fair and cute, but her eyes were firm, and she did have a calm temperament that came from the fragrance of books.

The servants below were all thinking about Kangxi's preferences, and Nanny Wang was no exception.

Everything is possible in the future, and Nanny Wang doesn't mind making more good connections.

Kangxi liked to visit the library when he was young. Now it is no longer a secret, and Kangxi seldom comes here. Most of the time, he asks people to pick up books and send them to the Qianqing Palace.

Moreover, the books in the library are handwritten copies, and Nanny Wang can make the decision on how to lend out some of the handwritten copies.

"What book would you like to read?"

Wu Lingzhu asked: "I wonder which ones I can see?"

Seeing this was a polite statement, Nanny Wang smiled and began to talk about the books that Wu Lingzhu could read.

When Wu Lingzhu left, Chunying was holding about five or six books in her arms, all of which were poems and miscellaneous notes.

After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Chunying put the book in the newly decorated study room. Wu Lingzhu said, "If Xiaodunzi wants to ask, you can pretend to make a slip of the tongue and tell him that I went to Jingyang Palace to borrow books. The more you try to hide the truth, the more he will think something is wrong and then he will make a move."

"Yes, Grid."

There is nothing wrong with reading and making progress. Su Bai asked their friends to keep an eye on Xiaodunzi during this period. He was patient and always gave him some "sweets".

Chunying talked about another thing: "Princess, I heard from many palace maids that Xiaodunzi is particularly popular with cats in the palace recently. He can be seen everywhere. Don't you think it's strange?"

Wu Lingzhu smiled and said: "This shows that our Chuxiu Palace has a connection with cats, and Xiaodunzi also has a connection with cats."

After talking about the cat, Wu Lingzhu thought of another thing that needed to be verified.

"When you have time, ask Xiaodunzi to go and ask how to raise birds. I want to raise two."

"Why does Gege suddenly like birds? They are not easy to raise."

“Just wanted to try.”

"Yes, Grid."

Wu Lingzhu wanted to know if she could only talk to cats, or could she talk to all animals. If she could talk to Ruoyou, then she would know almost everything about the entire Forbidden City, or even the entire capital city.

After sending Chunying away, Wu Lingzhu slowly copied the Buddhist scriptures for the empress dowager in the study. When she was tired, she would read a book. She had a good memory and good comprehension ability, so she could find a lot of interesting things.

My mentality gradually calmed down.

Su Bai came in with a cat-like step, and jumped directly onto the desk with the help of an ornament nearby. Wu Lingzhu then put down his pen, picked him up, and stroked his fur.

Su Bai felt comfortable with his fur being stroked, and meowed a few times, then said: [No news from Xiao Dunzi yet.]

"Don't worry, it should be available in a few days."

Although Xiaodunzi is clever, he is still young. Although he has a talent for being a spy, he does not have enough experience yet. She is so "serious" about borrowing books from Jingyang Palace that Xiaodunzi will probably not be able to help but tell the person behind him.

He currently doesn't have much ability to discern messages.

[I'm bringing two friends over this afternoon, is that okay with you?]

"Okay, bring it here! Is your friend being kept by someone like you?"

[It can be considered as the cat of Yonghe Palace! ]

"Defei... no, was she raised by Depin?" She almost forgot that the current Uya is Depin, not Empress Defei!

[No, my two friends were kept in Yonghe Palace before Depin moved in. Although Depin didn’t like cats very much in private, she was nice to cats on the surface, and they lived a good life.]

Depin! In her first life, she never thought that she would be the winner before she died. However, considering her relationship with the Fourth Prince, she didn’t seem to be the winner. She died not long after becoming the Queen Mother.

"What are they called?"

[Snowballs and Yuanxiao.]

"Is it a white cat like you?"

[How did you know?]

"I heard it from the name."

The cats raised by concubines in the harem are mostly white. They look clean and give people a docile feeling.

In the afternoon, snowballs and Yuanxiao arrived as expected.

Xuetuan: [Are you the human that Subai mentioned who can understand cat language?]

"it's me."

Xuetuan and Yuanxiao were well prepared, but were still startled. Su Bai on the side was so happy, after all, his performance was average at the beginning.

After a long while, Yuan Xiao spoke: [Are you really not a monster?]

"No, I'm a human."

Although the experience was a bit magical, it still falls within the realm of being human!

Xuetuan and Yuanxiao quickly accepted the fact that there were humans who could understand their speech.

Wu Lingzhu had already prepared a lot of dried fish. The three cats ate their fill, with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Xuetuan: [Do you want to know about Yonghe Palace?]

Wu Lingzhu didn't expect Xuetuan to be so clever. She nodded: "I am a little curious."

Xuetuan said helplessly: "You humans are just like this, fighting with each other every day and killing each other."

Wu Lingzhu paused. This sentence was quite suggestive. After all, this was a cat from Yonghe Palace.

Sure enough, Xuetuan's next words confirmed her thoughts: [Not long ago, Concubine De sent someone to deal with two young eunuchs, who were related to a concubine named Dai Jia.]

Wu Lingzhu's heart skipped a beat. Dai Jia was the concubine and the Seventh Prince's biological mother. What happened to her not long ago was the Seventh Prince's birth. And the Seventh Prince was lame?

No way, can a congenital limp be caused by human factors?

"Can you tell me in detail what Concubine De did to Concubine Dai Jia?"

[Two things. One is that she placed a maid next to Concubine Dai Jia. The maid complained to the emperor, saying that Concubine Dai Jia had someone in her heart before and was not serving the emperor voluntarily. There were also some half-true and half-false correspondences.]

Wu Lingzhu was shocked, this was not a small matter. No wonder Concubine Dai Jia gave birth to Prince Kangxi but there was no expression at all. The Seventh Prince was lame but it was not serious. It seemed there was another reason.

"What about the other thing?"

[Another incident was that she had someone replace a blue gem that the emperor had awarded to Concubine Dai Jia, saying it was blessed by the Buddha. A nanny beside Concubine De said that the stone was cursed, and several women who had been pregnant with this gem gave birth to children with defects.]

Blue gemstone? It should be a radioactive stone.

In today's age, there is no concept of science, so it is not considered wrong to have cursed gems.
