Chapter 143 Kangxi Pure Concubine 10
Chapter 143 Kangxi Pure Concubine 10
"System, help me keep an eye on Kangxi's whereabouts recently."
"How long do you have to watch? It won't work if you keep watching for too long."
Although he has enough energy, he would rather avoid wasting it.
"Three or four days will be enough. Watch carefully. I want to create an encounter."
Kangxi didn't know that he was being targeted. He was in a good mood and was eager to know Wangshu's reaction when he found out that he was the emperor.
Interesting for sure.
Two days later, the system responded: "Kangxi should come and confront you tomorrow."
Wangshu nodded. In the past two days, she went out of Jingyang Palace from time to time, and hung around the people of Wu Ya's family intentionally or unintentionally. Yesterday, she ran into Wu Ya Changzai in the Imperial Garden.
The system also said that after she met Wu Yachang, someone started to keep an eye on her.
Wuya was a person who dared to think and act, and she never dragged her feet in doing things. Based on the speed at which she kept an eye on people, Wangshu could guarantee that if she left Jingyang Palace again, something would definitely happen.
System: "Kangxi came out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Aunt Zhang came over and said, "Taohong sprained her ankle. You and Xiao Chengzi should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect this month's allowance today."
"Yes, Mammy."
Taohong was a young palace maid bribed by Uya. She entered the palace later than Wangshu and was unaware of the fact that Kangxi often visited Jingyang Palace.
Since this person was bribed, then spraining her ankle is what she deserves, Wangshu thought.
Wangshu left Jingyang Palace with a smile. After she left, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Wangshu makes people happy just by looking at him. No wonder he is so popular."
Su Mu nodded aside: "Madam, what you said is absolutely right."
Aunt Zhang said meaningfully: "She is a very lucky person. Maybe we will have a solid backer in the future."
As insiders, they are most likely to be assigned to serve Wangshu in the future. So they know everything about him.
Wangshu is a good-tempered person and a very good choice. Besides, things have come to this point and they may not have a choice.
Su Mu also understood this truth, and they both hoped that Wangshu would have a bright and successful future.
On the other side, Wangshu was walking slowly and talking to Xiao Chengzi. When they arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they received their monthly allowance and walked back.
But when he passed the Imperial Garden, he was stopped.
"Meet the noble Nala."
Concubine Nara was Wan Fu's biological mother. When Wan Fu died, she was still pregnant. The stress caused her pregnancy to look bad, and she gave birth to a sickly prince prematurely the next month.
She was in a bad mood and was persuaded by the palace maids around her to go out and relax. She came to the Imperial Garden, and then met Wangshu and Xiaochengzi, who were smiling happily and looked exceptionally beautiful.
Although the Forbidden City has strict rules, there is no requirement that palace maids are not allowed to laugh.
But who could have made Noble Lady Nara in a bad mood? Plus, she hated women who were prettier than her. When she saw Wangshu, she thought she must be restless.
Although she was indeed restless, Noble Nala's tendency to jump to conclusions did not make him a good person.
"Which palace are you from?"
Xiao Chengzi was more experienced than her and replied first: "I am from Jingyang Palace."
Wangshu followed up and replied: "I am from Jingyang Palace."
When Lady Nara heard that it was Jingyang Palace, she immediately lost her worries: "You are disrespectful to me, kneel down! Caiju, you stay here and watch them. When you have kneeled for two hours, you can stand up again."
Cai Ju looked embarrassed and whispered: "My lady, if you punish the palace maids to kneel, will it be..."
not too good.
It’s okay for eunuchs, even if they have some connections, they don’t have family roots. But the same cannot be said for palace maids, whose family backgrounds are not necessarily ordinary.
Nara Noblewoman was born into a banner family, so she naturally understood. However, she was fearless and said, "What are you afraid of? The maids of the upper three banners will not serve in Jingyang Palace. I am the biological mother of the emperor. You just need to do what I tell you. How can you dare to make a fuss?"
"Yes, my lord."
Wangshu and Xiaochengzi knelt on the ground with pale faces.
Wangshu lowered his head and thought, no wonder Noble Nala gave birth to two princes and became a noble lady, she really doesn't know how to behave as a human being, and no wonder Uya pushed her out to be used as a gun.
Zhongcui Palace is right next to Jingyang Palace. To get from Jingyang Palace to the Imperial Household Department, one needs to pass through the Imperial Garden because there are many roads that are not accessible to ordinary palace people.
In a short period of time, she was able to instigate Concubine Nara to come out, and also created an accidental encounter. No wonder Uya had the last laugh. Oh, no, not really the last laugh, because she died not long after becoming the empress dowager.
At the same time, she was very surprised at the layout of the Wuya family in the palace. It seemed that the Wuya family was more prepared than the Daijia family.
It turns out that there is no success without reason!
Just some knee pain.
On the other side, Kangxi had been in Jingyang Palace for a while. When he heard Nanny Zhang say that Wangshu had gone to the Imperial Household Department, Kangxi picked up a book and started reading, but he just couldn't concentrate.
I came here today to have a showdown, and I don’t know if Wangshu will be scared.
Kangxi: "How long has Wangshu been gone?"
Aunt Zhang: "It's been more than half an hour."
Kangxi frowned. This was too long. Even though the Imperial Household Department was a bit far away, this was still too long.
"Send someone to see where the person is?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after, Su Mu saw Wangshu and Xiao Chengzi kneeling on the ground in the imperial garden with pale faces, with their shares beside them.
There was also a first-class palace maid standing next to her. She knew her. She was the palace maid serving Noble Lady Nara in the Zhongcui Palace next door. She had seen her several times.
Seeing Sumu, Wangshu looked over pitifully: "Sister Sumu~"
Su Mu was heartbroken, but she had no reason to ask her to get up directly, nor could she bring up Kangxi's reputation directly, as it would have a bad influence on Wangshu. She looked at Caiju.
"Sister Caiju, I am Su Mu from Jingyang Palace. I have met Sister Caiju twice before. These two are from our Jingyang Palace. I wonder why?"
Cai Ju's eyes flashed with helplessness. She couldn't agree with her master's method of attracting hatred, but she had to obey. She said in a proper manner: "These two people are disrespectful to our young master. The young master will punish them to kneel for two hours."
Su Mu was surprised: "Two hours?"
Wangshu’s skin is so delicate that it will turn red for a long time if you touch it lightly. After kneeling for two hours, do you think his knees are going to be damaged?
Su Mu took out a purse from his arms: "This is for my sister. Can you be flexible? These two are usually timid and would never dare to disrespect their superiors. There must be some misunderstanding."
Caiju looked at Wangshu's face. Even though she was a girl, she felt pity for him. However...
She pushed the purse back and said, "My lady has given me an order, and I dare not disobey."
Su Mu knew that this matter would not end well.
There was no other way. Su Mu did not dare to delay any longer and said to Wang Shu: "I will go back to Jingyang Palace to find Aunt Zhang and see if I can plead for her. Wait for me."
After saying that, Su Mu trotted towards Jingyang Palace.
When she arrived at Jingyang Palace, she immediately told Aunt Zhang that "Your Majesty, Wangshu and Xiaochengzi were punished by Noble Lady Nara to kneel in the Imperial Garden. I was incompetent and failed to bring them back. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Kangxi stood up suddenly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Liang Jiugong, follow me to the Imperial Garden."
Today, he brought Liang Jiugong with him. The reason he didn't bring him before was because more people in the palace knew Liang Jiugong, the chief steward, than knew him, the emperor.
There are rules for the palace maids to walk. When the emperor goes out, as long as he wants, the palace maids must lower their heads and not look him directly in the face.
Apart from those who often served in the Qianqing Palace and the concubines in the harem, or those in the Imperial Household Department who could show up next to him, there were many people in the palace who had never seen his face.
