Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 265 Kangxi Concubine Ping 2

On the way back, the master and servant took a remote road and did not meet many people. At present, there were not many people in Kangxi's harem, and she was the only one living in Chuxiu Palace.

As soon as he came back, he saw a kitten at the palace gate. It was snow-white and looked very cute. Wu Lingzhu fell in love with it as soon as he saw it.

When the cat saw Wu Lingzhu, it meowed at her. Wu Lingzhu listened to the cat's meowing and stared at it blankly, standing where she was.

[…Silly human, why are you staring at me? Are you mesmerized by my figure?]

Hallucinated?

No, it was really the cat that spoke.

Wu Lingzhu walked straight to the white cat and suddenly picked her up. It could be seen that this cat was raised by someone, and she did not struggle when she was picked up.

Chunying on the side hurriedly said: "Princess, I don't know where this cat came from, why don't you let me hold it!"

"I'll do it myself. You can ask a young eunuch to find out whose cat this is. If it's not raised by a master, we can keep it. It will help us pass the time."

"Yes, Grid."

After saying that, Chunying went to find the young eunuch.

Wu Lingzhu's current situation is somewhat awkward. She wanted to be Kangxi's concubine, but now she has no status and she is only ten years old.

In principle, among the people in Chuxiu Palace, Chunying is the only one who can be used. As for the others, if they want to be used, they will listen if they are willing, but if they are not willing, there is no way to tell them that they are doing something wrong.

Even if it was just to employ a small eunuch, Chunying had to go and negotiate.

But this situation will not last forever.

Holding the cat, Wu Lingzhu returned to the house and said to the white cat: "What's your name?"

[Meow~Listen carefully, my name is Su Bai, it sounds nice, right?]

Wu Lingzhu tapped his head a few times and said, "So your name is Su Bai!"

She said it lightly, but Su Bai got furious.

[You you you...can you understand what I'm saying?]

People get scared when they hear animals talking. Similarly, animals get scared when they hear that people can understand them talking.

The reason why Wu Lingzhu was not scared was mainly because he had experienced a lot of fantasy. Although he was shocked, he was not afraid.

“I understand!”

[What are you? I heard from other old cats that there were spirits in the past. Are you a spirit in disguise?]

Wu Lingzhu curled his lips and smiled, saying mischievously: "Guess!"

Su Bai didn't guess, and he couldn't guess it, but he could feel that Wu Lingzhu had no ill will towards him. After being scared and surprised by the fact that there was a "human" who could understand cat language, he relaxed.

[What's your name? Judging from your appearance, you should be a master, but you live in Chuxiu Palace, and you are not the emperor's daughter, so you are a concubine. But you look too young.]

"I am the prince's aunt, and I am also the emperor's concubine."

The little cat immediately said: [I know the prince. I have seen him from a distance several times. He is followed by many people. His mother is the queen, and you are the queen's sister.]

"She's my concubine's sister."

Su Bai didn't know what a concubine sister meant. He only knew that she was a sister, and the queen's sister at that. The cats in the Forbidden City had seen more and understood more than the cats outside. He felt that since she was the queen's sister, she must be noble.

[So, you are a relative of the prince, then why do you live such a poor life?]

Wu Lingzhu was choked by his words. How should she put it? Her life could not be said to be poor.

The prince's wet father is in charge of the Imperial Household Department. It is true that she is a tool, but after all, her surname is Hesheli and her blood relationship with the prince is there, so her food, clothing and other expenses will not be deducted. It's just that her life is not grand, and Chunying is the only one by her side when she goes in and out.

To Su Bai, this was shabby.

Of course, he was not wrong to think so.

Skipping this awkward topic, Wu Lingzhu changed the subject and said, "The name Su Bai sounds like it was given to you by someone. Who is your master?"

Su Bai got angry again: "He is not the master, we are the masters."

Wu Lingzhu quickly corrected himself: "I made a mistake. What I meant was, who did you follow before?"

[Concubine Duanshun, she raised me, but she didn’t take care of me. She wouldn’t send anyone to look for me if I didn’t go home for a few days.]

Concubine Duanshun, the Mongolian concubine of the previous emperor, Abahai Borjigit. When Shunzhi was alive, this group of Mongolian concubines were out of favor. After his death, this group of Mongolian concubines seemed to live a good life under the protection of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

"That's not bad."

Such a breeder is more prestigious than her.

As the man and the cat chatted, Wu Lingzhu learned a lot about the previous emperor's time. Of course, these were not Su Bai's personal experiences. He just occasionally heard Concubine Duanshun talk about them with her confidants.

But most of them were things from the previous generation, which were very far away from her. She had no use for those things for the time being, so she just listened and kept them in her heart.

The man and the cat didn't chat for long before Chunying came back.

"Gege, who were you talking to just now?"

"After speaking to this little cat for a few words, have you sent someone out?"

"He was sent out. His name is Xiaodunzi. He is not very old. I noticed that he was often bullied, so I gave him some snacks in private. He is also a kind person."

There are only so many ways to bribe palace servants. Chunying's approach is a normal procedure. Precisely because it is normal, people can take advantage of it.

She had an impression of Xiaodunzi. He was a very useful person, but he was too useful. She, a tool, could not afford to use him.

When did she know that Xiaodunzi couldn't be trusted?

She was almost dying at that time, and only then did she realize that there was such a spy around her. Only then did she understand why she had lost so completely.

No one ever seemed to give her a choice.

The people around the prince were wary of her and used her, and the prince himself treated her as a brainless puppet.

If the prince won, she would not die at most. However, as the prince's person in name only, the concubines in the harem could not do anything to the prince who was raised by Kangxi, and they made things difficult for her in a subtle way.

The Hesheli family has never been content. Relying on the presence of the crown prince, they not only do whatever they want, but also boldly interfere in the affairs of the harem. For the sake of the crown prince's face, Kangxi would not easily punish the crown prince's maternal family, so he ignored her.

Also the empress's sister, Empress Nianhulu's sister was promoted to noble concubine not long after entering the palace.

It was not until the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign that she got her period and officially became Emperor Kangxi's concubine. She was a concubine without a title and had a very low presence. Outsiders called her Concubine Chuxiu Palace.

She is trying to please neither side.

The Hesheli family treated her as a tool. She was not favored and was not useful because she did not meet their expectations.

Those people left behind by Queen Hesheli looked down on her.

Kangxi vented his bad emotions that he could not vent to Hesheli's family by ignoring her.

As long as the crown prince existed, she was destined not to be respected by Kangxi. She did not do well in the harem, and the crown prince and even her own family would only think she was incompetent.

She had no way out, and this was something she only figured out before she died in her first life.

Unless she is willing to be a tool, but then again, why should she be content with the status quo? She was not treated with tolerance because of the prince, but was guarded against everywhere. Why should she be willing to be a tool?

In her first life, she didn’t want to be a tool, so she tried her best to give birth to a son. However, she only raised the child for more than a month before the child died.

In this life, she also doesn't want to be a tool.
