Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 139 Kangxi Pure Concubine 6

The affairs of the harem are still far away from Wangshu. After the weather turns cold, Kangxi comes less often. It’s the end of the year now, and he’s very busy!

Wangshu was still the same as before, serving as her maid in Jingyang Palace.

"Chinese New Year is coming in two days. I'm very busy and I'm afraid I won't have time to come and see you. This is a New Year's gift for you."

Wangshu took what Kangxi handed over, a piece of pure red stone the size of an egg, and gave it to her. She had some good eyesight.

“Is this bloodstone?”

Born as a palace maid, although she had little education, she still had to have some knowledge. Her uncle's family had a lot of good things. As for the Imperial Household Department, she had handled a lot of good things, especially in the position of treasurer.

The original owner had been taught how to recognize these things.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect you to know this thing. It's Changhua Chicken Blood Stone. It's a New Year's gift to you."

Wangshu shook his head: "This is too valuable. My uncle has a pigeon egg-sized piece, which is not as big as this one, and the color is not as pure as this one. Even so, my uncle still treasures it very much and said that he would keep it for my cousin to use as a seal.

This thing is very valuable. It must be very difficult for you to get such a piece. You should keep it for yourself. If you encounter any problems, you can take it out and save your life."

The safety and treatment of palace maids in the Qing Dynasty were somewhat guaranteed due to their background, but the eunuchs did not.

"I have some connections with the people in front of the emperor, and I can get a lot of rewards on weekdays. I don't need this thing with my status. I have no use for this bloodstone. To me, it is just a stone. I have no shortage of money for bribes..."

Under Kangxi's repeated requests, Wangshu accepted the New Year gift from Kangxi, but Wangshu did not prepare any gift.

She is penniless and has no skills, so she has no power to help even though she wants to!

But Wangshu would say: "I don't have any extra money, and I don't know how to make a purse or anything like that. I'll save enough money next year and give you a return gift."

Kangxi naturally knew her situation and had never expected to receive a gift from her.

If she really took care of everything, he wouldn't be used to it!

After receiving the gift, Wangshu did not see Kangxi again before the New Year. With Kangxi's secret arrangements, Wangshu had a good New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, the first person to visit Shu was his cousin Baozhu.

"Sister, you are here?" Wangshu said in a cheerful tone. It is a happy thing to see relatives in the new year.

Baozhu smiled and said, "I wanted to come and see you before the New Year, but the Qianqing Palace was busy and I didn't have time to come. Today I can take a day off and come to see you. No one in Jingyang Palace bullies you, right?"

Wangshu shook his head: "No, the people in Jingyang Palace are very nice. They are all very kind to me. Aunt Zhang is very nice, Sister Sumu is also very nice. They all gave in to me during the New Year's Eve dinner..."

Wangshu kept on talking about what had happened recently, and Baozhu listened and found it very interesting. It was true that the palace maids in the Qianqing Palace were respectable, but there were too many of them, so intrigue was inevitable.

It is difficult to open up to others, but listening to her little cousin's chatter, she felt that the unhappy days in the Qianqing Palace were gone, and only relief remained.

"That's good. You can use this money. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Wangshu looked at the bag of silver in his hand. It was quite a lot, especially for a palace maid.

"Sister, this is too much. You work in the Qianqing Palace and need to be managed more. You can keep this money for yourself and don't give it to me."

After some shoving between the two sisters, the silver finally fell into Wangshu's hands.

This money was given to her by her family, but she really didn't want to step into the battlefield of the harem. Besides, she had a lover, so it would be good if she could keep this secret. If she couldn't, the only thing waiting for her was to fall out of favor.

It was a terrifying and restless road. If Wangshu was not there, she would not be able to refuse for the sake of her family. Now that she had Wangshu, she would not take the risk.

Therefore, she generously took out part of the money given to her by her family to help her little cousin in Jingyang Palace live a better life.

Investing for your family is also investing for yourself.

She naturally knew that Wangshu was not very smart, but her face was enough. She didn't think there was any man who could resist such a beauty.

Her plan was that after Wangshu entered the harem, she would serve as Wangshu's maid of honor and act as his think tank.

After separating from her cousin, Wangshu returned to her residence. Since she was assigned to work in the library, Aunt Zhang had improved her treatment. Although she was still a third-class palace maid, it was very difficult for her to live in a small room with Sumu.

Su Mu saw her coming back and asked: "Your cousin came to see you again?"

Wangshu smiled and nodded: "Yes, my cousin was afraid that I would suffer, so she gave me some silver."

Seeing her defenseless appearance, Su Mu couldn't help but worry: "Don't tell anyone about your cousin giving you money. If others find out, you will definitely be blackmailed. You must be on guard against others. Do you understand?"

Wangshu looked at her with sincerity in his eyes: "I know, my cousin taught me, but Sister Sumu, you are not an outsider, there is nothing I can't tell you."

She said it so naturally that Su Mu couldn't help but be moved.

After entering the palace for many years, she was ignorant at first, and then suffered a lot. As she grew up, although she would not actively bully others, she gradually became much more indifferent.

Wangshu is like a little sun, sincere, blazing, and warm...

No wonder even the Emperor...

That’s right, since Sumu was arranged to live with Wangshu, he obviously knew about Kangxi’s existence.

A lot of people have been replaced in Jingyang Palace, including Nanny Zhang, Su Mu, and a new chief eunuch...all of them are insiders.

Otherwise, Kangxi would not have been able to hide his identity for so long.

Su Mu came back to his senses: "Even if they are close to me, I should be reserved."

The only thing that responded to her was Wangshu's confused look.

Su Mu said helplessly: "Forget it, it's okay if you don't understand these."

Perhaps it is this innocence that the emperor likes, but she can't stop worrying. What should she do if she loses this innocence?

Jingyang Palace can accommodate an innocent and naive little palace maid, but the emperor's harem cannot accommodate an innocent and naive concubine.

Wangshu suddenly asked: "Sister Sumu, do you have any connections to help me buy some things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Of course there is a Sumu road. It didn’t exist before, but it exists now.

"what?"

Wangshu said what he wanted: some wood, some small parts, copper sheets, and files...

Su Mu was puzzled: "What do you want these for?"

"I wanted to make a return gift, but I didn't have enough money, so I had to make it myself."

Su Mu nodded and agreed. Although these things were strange, they were not difficult to deal with, especially now that she could contact the people in the imperial court.

Wangshu gave the silver to Sumu, and the things were delivered to her the next day.

Looking at the things in front of it, the system was puzzled: "What do you want to do?"

Wangshu didn't stop moving his hands: "Did I forget to tell you that my father is a mechanical engineer?"

System: "So?"

Wangshu casually said: "So I was influenced by my father. My father made all the toys I had when I was little. I do have talent, but I prefer life under the spotlight."

Paper and gold are intoxicating, and flowers are in clusters.

But even though she prefers to be a star, she still likes mechanics as a hobby.

"What are you going to do with this crap?"

"A music box would be fine."

"Music box?" The system didn't understand.

"Kangxi was very receptive to things from the West. There was a music box in the palace. My uncle's family had this thing. The original owner had seen it before and knew where it came from."

"But Kangxi may not really like it!"

"It doesn't matter whether Kangxi really likes me or not. What matters is that I am willing to spend time and effort on it. An emperor like Kangxi who loves to cherish women will like the sincerity of a beautiful girl."

The system indicated that he was convinced.
