Chapter 135 Kangxi Pure Concubine 2
Chapter 135 Kangxi Pure Concubine 2
After returning to his residence, Wangshu asked the system: "Why do I feel that the original owner's cousin seems to be somewhat unwilling to become the emperor's concubine?"
System: "Do you feel wrong?"
"Impossible. You can question my character and my IQ, but you can't question my acting skills or my control of human emotions. Go check it out. I think my cousin has some stories."
The system checked it out with some doubt.
But things like this need to be done slowly. As I said, the system is not a god. It can monitor some accidental scenes, but it cannot see into people's hearts and pry into the secrets in their hearts.
Wangshu was not in a hurry either.
Five days later.
"Dai Jia Wangshu, Jingyang Palace, third-class maid."
"Thank you for your guidance over the past year."
Seeing her sweet smile, the nanny felt relieved and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Be careful when you go to Jingyang Palace and avoid the palace maids in Chengqian Palace."
Wangshu looked puzzled and said politely, "Thank you for your advice, Madam."
There was confusion on his face, but he had some ideas in his mind.
The original owner was bullied until she became seriously ill and then died. She always felt that something was wrong. As a palace maid from the upper three banners, she was outstanding in appearance. Even if someone was jealous, they should not bully her so blatantly.
Besides the fact that some people saw that she was easy to bully, they also thought her appearance was threatening.
That person is in Chengqian Palace.
The main lady of Chengqian Palace is Concubine Tong.
Several concubines also lived in the side halls, including the mother of the future Emperor Yongzheng, Uya, and the mother of the Twelveth Princess, Wanliuha.
No matter what she was thinking, she packed her things and went to Jingyang Palace quickly.
As for what is in Chengqian Palace, let the system take care of it first.
When he arrived at Jingyang Palace, the first person Wangshu saw was the palace's managing nanny, Nanny Zhang Jia, also known as Nanny Zhang.
When she saw Wangshu, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes. Such an outstanding appearance was not common.
"Meet Mammy."
"You must be Wangshu! There is not much work in Jingyang Palace. You are a third-class maid. First follow Sumu to clean the side halls. After a while, I will teach you how to dry books."
Drying books is a technical job.
After Wangshu got to know her, Sumu learned that she was a first-class palace maid, almost twenty-five years old, from a bondservant family of the lower five banners, had an ordinary appearance, and was unwilling to leave the palace.
In fact, most of the maids who stayed in the palace to work as hairdressers were bondservants from the lower five banners. The bondservants from the upper three banners either wanted to become concubines or waited until they were old enough to leave the palace and get married.
Wangshu followed Sumu to work.
Su Mu is a man of few words, who acts steadily and prudently. He is quite caring towards Wangshu, and seeing that she is innocent and naive, he gives her a lot of advice on life.
Her days in Jingyang Palace gradually stabilized.
It’s not comfortable, but it’s safe.
Just like that, half a month passed, and the system suddenly brought two messages.
"Host, your cousin, that Baozhu, has a lover and doesn't want to serve the emperor. She is observant and noticed that Kangxi would secretly come to Jingyang Palace to read and doesn't like to be disturbed. She arranged for you to enter Jingyang Palace, probably with the idea of letting you replace her to fight for the emperor's favor for the family."
Wangshu was not surprised after hearing this. In fact, not everyone wanted to be the emperor's concubine.
"What's the other news?"
"I have carefully observed the news from Chengqian Palace. The original owner's death should be related to that Wuya promise."
Wangshu asked him: "Is that Wuya Yingda somewhat similar to me?"
There were countless concubines and palace maids in the harem who were outstanding in appearance. The original owner was only fourteen years old. Even if she was outstanding in appearance, she only had potential.
Her appearance must be known by more than one family. There must be a reason why Wu Ya did it. Her temperament must be different. Wu Ya would never go the route of a silly beauty, so it can only be that they have a similar appearance.
"You guessed it right. That Wu Ya's eyes and eyebrows are somewhat similar to yours, but she's not as delicate as you, not as beautiful as you, and her eyes are not as ignorant as yours."
"I've been in Jingyang Palace for a while and haven't encountered any danger. It seems that my cousin must have put in a lot of effort!"
"How do you know? It's true."
Wangshu gave the system a look of contempt.
system:"……"
One time they parted on bad terms.
The information brought by the system this time was very useful to Yu Wangshu. Her cousin had a lover and was unwilling to serve the emperor, so she would try her best to push her out. Once she came to the throne, Dai Jia's connections could only be used by her.
The uncle of Dai Jia's family had nothing else, but at least he had enough money, and the treasurer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was in charge of silver.
Knowing clearly that Uya was a potential enemy, she had to avenge the original owner if she had the chance.
Touching his own face, this face is so unusual that it is not safe in the palace. If it were outside the palace, it might not be able to accommodate this face.
-
Three months after entering Jingyang Palace, the library in the back hall was opened. Under the arrangement of Nanny Zhang, Wangshu learned the first skill after time travel: drying books.
Drying books requires skills. The books in the palace are precious. How to dry them and how to preserve them for a long time all require skills.
It took Wangshu half a month to master this technique completely. This was related to the large number of books and the weather. To dry the books, the weather had to be clear.
"Wangshu, you learn very quickly, not bad."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mammy." Wangshu grinned foolishly, with a hint of pride in his eyes after being praised.
This scene happened to be seen by Kangxi who came over to look for a book, and in an instant, spring came and flowers bloomed.
Of course, Wangshu didn't know that Kangxi had come at this time. The main reason was that she was used to strangers coming in and out of Jingyang Palace. Occasionally, she would meet foreign ministers and guards who came to get books, and they were dressed in all kinds of clothes.
Kangxi was young, and although he was not ugly, he was not gold and would not shine. He deliberately concealed his identity, so Wangshu would naturally not discover it.
After entering the library in the back hall, Kangxi could not wait and said, "Go check on the little palace maid who was smiling so silly just now."
As the most favored person around Kangxi, Liang Jiugong naturally knew who the silly little palace maid was.
In fact, he was also surprised that there was such a pearl buried in Jingyang Palace. With such a beauty, it was just a matter of time before she would be favored by the emperor.
"Well, I'll go check it out right away."
This investigation, of course, is a thorough one, including family background, identity, who the father and mother are, and where they work.
Seeing that Kangxi was interested, Liang Jiugong thought that he could find out more details. He felt that the emperor should want to know more about such an outstanding beauty.
In just three days, almost everything about Dai Jia Wangshu's experience over the past decade had been investigated.
I can’t say that I have checked every detail, but I have checked everything that can be checked.
The content that Kangxi heard was roughly that she had lost her father and mother, and grew up in her uncle's house since childhood. Her uncle was very good to her and let her enter the palace in order to help her cousin win favor. The key point was that she was not aware of this.
She was a bit naive and stupid, not very smart, and had been bullied and almost died of illness. Her cousin worked in the Palace of Heavenly Purity...
Liang Jiugong didn't find out that Baozhu had a lover before she entered the palace, mainly because his focus was not on her.
After learning about it, Kangxi found it very interesting. This little palace maid was very young and looked easy to bully. It seemed that if he poked her, he could make her cry with tears in her eyes.
It should be the look of "holding back tears and pretending to lower the face, half-closed the brows in shame".
