1. Kangxi's Harem: ...
Wang Shu responded with a bewildered look.
Su Mu said helplessly, "Fine, it's better that you don't understand these things."
Perhaps what the emperor liked was this naivety, but she couldn't help worrying about what she would do if she lost this naivety.
Jingyang Palace can accommodate a naive and innocent palace maid, but the Emperor's harem cannot accommodate naive and innocent concubines.
Wang Shu suddenly said, "Sister Su Mu, do you have any connections to help me buy some things from the Imperial Household Department?"
Sumumen has its own way of doing things; it didn't exist before, but it does now.
"What is that?"
Wang Shu stated what she wanted: some wood, some small parts, copper sheets, a file...
Su Mu asked, puzzled, "What do you need these for?"
"I want to make a return gift, but I don't have enough money, so I have to make it myself."
Su Mu nodded in agreement. Although these things were strange, they weren't too difficult to deal with, especially since she was now able to contact the people in the Imperial Court.
Wang Shu gave the silver to Su Mu, and the goods were delivered to her the next day.
Looking at these things in front of it, the system asked in confusion, "What do you want to do?"
Wang Shu continued working: "Did I forget to tell you that I have a father who is a mechanical engineer?"
System: "So?"
Wang Shu casually said, "So, influenced by what I saw and heard, all the toys I made since I was little were made by my father. I do have talent, but I prefer life in the spotlight."
A world of dazzling paper and intoxicating gold, a tapestry of vibrant colors.
Even though she prefers being a celebrity, she still has some interest in mechanics as a hobby.
What are you planning to do with this pile of junk?
"A music box will do."
"A music box?" The system didn't understand.
"Kangxi was very receptive to things from the West. There were music boxes in the palace. My uncle's family had one. The original owner had seen it before and knew its origin."
"But Emperor Kangxi might not actually like it!"
"Whether Kangxi truly likes her or not is not important. What is important is that I am willing to put in the effort and time. A beautiful girl's sincerity will be appreciated by an emperor like Kangxi who cherishes and pities women."
The system indicated that it was convinced.
