Wang Shu angrily questioned the system: "System, come out here! Why have I become a palace maid? I'm a big star! How am I supposed to serve people? Do you want me to die again?"

System: "Host, don't panic. Although you are currently a palace maid, you are a Qing Dynasty palace maid. Your family is also officials, belonging to the Upper Three Banners. Even the young mistress cannot beat or scold you without reason. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you will basically not die."

Wang Shu looked speechless: "But I'm still a palace maid! I have to serve people. My point is, I can't do that."

She was born beautiful, came from a wealthy family, and became a star after growing up. With her family's connections and her own acting talent, she became an overnight sensation. She has never experienced hardship. Asking her to serve others would be a recipe for disaster for her.

After saying that, Wang Shu looked at her slender and beautiful fingers, which were as white as jade, and said, "Do you think my hands are suitable for being a palace maid serving people?"

"Host, don't worry. The family background I've arranged for you is quite good. You're a palace maid from the Daijia clan. You have an uncle who works as a treasurer in the Imperial Household Department. You have two choices now: one is to wait until your cousin becomes the emperor's concubine and then go to her for help; the other is to seduce the emperor and become a concubine, then you won't have to serve anyone anymore."

Wang Shu fell silent.

She died unexpectedly, then encountered a system that took her to the Qing Dynasty. The system told her to try her best to survive in this era, and after she died of old age, she could return to the modern world, and the system would also get enough energy to find its home.

She didn't want to die, even though she was alive; besides, this face was even more radiant than her modern celebrity face.

She's obsessed with looks; she absolutely adores this face.

It's impossible to die.

As for the two options given by the system, one is impossible to choose. She's not bragging, but if the emperor saw her face, she wouldn't be able to continue being a palace maid.

Moreover, she didn't know if her cousin would be tolerant of her or if she would take advantage of her, so she chose option two.

"System, please give me the original owner's memories first."

"Then you should prepare yourself, you're feeling a bit unwell."

"Okay, come on, I'm ready."

Wang Shu received the original owner's memories.

The original owner was Dai Jiawangshu, a cousin of Consort Cheng, the mother of the seventh prince of the Kangxi Emperor.

She is fourteen years old now and has been in the palace for less than a year. She is outstanding in appearance, but she is rather simple-minded, or even a bit naive.

Her uncle arranged for her to enter the palace, intending to use her to help his daughter gain favor in the future. After all, she was beautiful, not very smart, and obedient, so she was quite useful.

However, before the original owner could even wait for her cousin to become a concubine, she was bullied and fell seriously ill. It wasn't easy for a palace maid to treat an illness, and the original owner passed away, so Wang Shu came to live with her.

The father died young, the mother remarried, and the original owner was raised by her uncle's family.

She is currently on "sick leave" and will be assigned to various posts by the Imperial Household Department in a few days.

Having understood her situation, Wang Shu remained silent for a long time. She had so many things to face now!

Her cousin is currently a palace maid working in the Qianqing Palace. The question she needs to consider is where she should work.

First of all, she cannot go to the palace to be with the concubines. Although her appearance has not yet fully matured, she is already stunningly beautiful. If she goes to the palace, she might be harmed by someone without even realizing it.

She had the system to help her avoid shady dealings, but when it came to harming a lowly palace maid, she mostly used physical methods—knocking her unconscious and throwing her into a well—and even the system couldn't stop her.

She wasn't capable of going to the Qianqing Palace herself. With her cousin there, her uncle wouldn't help her go; it would seem too opportunistic and wouldn't suit the original owner's personality.

She portrayed her harem members as "foolish beauties."

Emperor Kangxi disliked fools, but he would never refuse a top-tier beauty.

As for why she was called a "foolish beauty," it was mainly because she remembered that the Empress Dowager was still alive. If she acted too cleverly, wouldn't that be different from how the original owner of the body had acted, and wouldn't she be seen as scheming?

As for how the silly beauty survives, there's always the system. Although the system isn't omnipotent, you absolutely can't do without it.

Fool, beauty, and good luck!

"System, can you find out where Emperor Kangxi liked to go in private? Excluding places where his concubines lived."

"Jingyang Palace".

"Jingyang Palace? Are concubines not allowed to live in Jingyang Palace?"

"The rear hall of Jingyang Palace was converted into a library. The emperor loved reading and would occasionally go to Jingyang Palace to read. Because he disliked being disturbed, few people knew about this except for the emperor's confidants."

Wang Shu was very interested in Jingyang Palace. She couldn't wait and said, "System, Jingyang Palace is fine. I'm going to Jingyang Palace!"

system:"……"

How do you get to Jingyang Palace?

Wang Shu replied matter-of-factly, "You arrange it for me!"

The system's silence was deafening.

Wang Shu realized what was happening and her eyes widened: "No way, no way, you can't even arrange this? You can't even do this little thing? Are you even capable?"

The system is not a man, and it cannot be questioned; this is an insult to its very existence.

"Who says I can't? I can, but you have to follow my orders."

"Tell me, and I'll see if it works."

The system's solution was: "Go find your cousin! Your cousin has connections with the Daijia clan. It's difficult for her to arrange for someone to enter the Qianqing Palace, but it's not difficult to get into Jingyang Palace."

Wang Shu was disappointed: "I thought you could get the head maid to arrange for me to enter Jingyang Palace without anyone noticing! Turns out you still need to find someone to help you."

System: "Although I am a system, I am not that magical. I can only search and integrate information, and I also know a lot of things to ensure that you are not harmed by shady dealings. Science, science, do you understand?"

Wang Shu looked skeptical: "Science that can bring people back to life and allow them to travel through time?"
