1. Kangxi's Harem: ...
What do you do at home?
“I learn how to manage a household from my mother on a regular basis.”
"Have you read any books?"
"I have read several books of poetry, travelogues and miscellaneous writings. I have heard that Your Majesty is very learned. In the past, I have devoted all my energy to managing the household and have not studied well. I hope that Your Majesty will teach me when you have time in the future."
"My beloved concubine is eager to learn, so I am naturally willing to teach her."
Anning's purpose is very simple: to gain favor and not feel humiliated.
Kangxi knew his purpose, but it was normal for the women in the harem to curry favor with him and he enjoyed it.
As he caressed the smoothness of her palm, Kangxi felt that Anning had quite a few advantages; at the very least, no one in the harem had skin as good as hers.
"Your Majesty, please don't despise my stupidity."
Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily: "Don't worry, I am the most patient person. It's getting late. I can't teach you academic subjects tonight, but I can teach you other things!"
An Ning understood instantly, her face flushed red, and she buried her head in Kangxi's arms: "Your Majesty~"
After speaking, An Ning was somewhat impressed with herself. Indeed, reality is the best acting teacher. Her shyness was so natural that even Emperor Kangxi would not doubt it.
Suddenly remembering something, Anning blurted out, "Your Majesty, you're so wicked!"
Emperor Kangxi choked on his words. To be honest, he didn't really have anyone like that in his harem. Even those who were more open-minded were always very reserved in their speech.
Then he found it amusing: "This is nothing, you're still inexperienced. I'll have to teach you a lesson."
If anyone else had said these words, they probably would have been furious, but Kangxi managed to say them in a refined and elegant way, showing Anning what it meant to be romantic without being vulgar.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he picked the person up and carried him to the bed.
After placing the person on the bed, Kangxi stopped moving and said, "Change my clothes."
While shyly undressing Kangxi, Anning began to do so with her hands. Her movements were neither delicate nor skillful, but they left him feeling unsatisfied and itchy inside.
Fortunately, Kangxi was not in a hurry to seduce; on the contrary, he enjoyed it. He was a veteran of many battles, and simple flirting was only passable for him. He had only experienced that kind of urgent desire when he was young.
As he reached middle age, he felt restless inside, but he kept a straight face and patiently waited for her to finish the entire movement.
"My beloved consort, you've worked hard. Now it's my turn."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kangxi began to move. A sense of oppression washed over her, and her clothes slipped off. Kangxi's movements of undressing were much more skillful than hers. Indeed, skill is the key!
From then on, Kangxi took complete control, leaving Anning, a mere nobody, at his mercy.
An Ning's skin, nourished by her wood-based supernatural abilities, was truly unmatched by ordinary people; it appeared as white and lustrous as jade against the backdrop of the red bedding.
Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but exclaim, "My beloved concubine is so fair-skinned!"
Not only is she fair-skinned, but she's also tender. Kangxi still had some reservations about saying this, so he didn't say it aloud.
An Ning felt a lump in her throat. Sure enough, the old saying was right: once a man gets into bed, no matter his status, he can say any kind of vulgar or obscene things.
"Your Majesty~"
————
Then comes a plot that even 30,000 words wouldn't be enough to describe.
At first, things were alright. Kangxi might have had some reservations and was still somewhat sympathetic towards her. But later, for some reason, he suddenly went crazy and kept going on and on.
Not only that, he also said all sorts of dirty jokes, shattering An Ning's illusions and making her think that all men are the same in bed, just looking for excitement.
There was a reason why Emperor Kangxi "went crazy".
As mentioned before, when Anning was injured, Kangxi felt the same way.
Kangxi's skills were excellent, and the best result was peace and happiness; Kangxi's happiness was doubled!
Food and sex are human nature, and Emperor Kangxi was a very common man, so he "went crazy".
Hearing the commotion inside, Chief Eunuch Liang quickly closed his eyes to rest. Although he could take shifts, he tried his best to ensure that Kangxi was available whenever he was called. The skill of taking a break whenever possible was an essential skill for a close eunuch in the palace. Another skill was to have good physical fitness, otherwise he might not be able to hold on.
During his break, he thought to himself, "Consort Shu's good days are yet to come! I'll have to be even more polite to her in the future."
He already possessed the ability to remain invincible, and seeing that the Emperor quite liked her, he needed to be even more polite and considerate, not only ensuring Consort Shu's health but also ensuring that she lived comfortably in the harem.
Speaking of which, Liang Jiugong also felt that this was an undeserved disaster. Originally, he only needed to serve one master, but now, he has an extra master that he cannot offend and needs to carefully protect.
Moreover, he also noticed that Kangxi valued him, an insider, quite highly. His words and actions were now being watched, a treatment comparable to that of the Crown Prince.
In a daze, Liang Jiugong heard sounds coming from inside, so he led his men in. It was rare for Kangxi to personally carry her to wash up. During this time, Anning had already fallen into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Anning woke up, there was no one beside her.
An Ning was startled: "Someone come here."
Chunlan and Baiguo came in: "Your Highness is awake. Shall we get up now?"
An Ning didn't answer, but asked instead, "What time is it now? I still need to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine today, so I can't be late."
Consort Tong was Emperor Kangxi's cousin, and Consort Wen was Empress Xiaozhao's younger sister. Although the Ulanara clan was not bad either, they could not compare to the two families' prominence during Emperor Kangxi's reign.
Chunlan quickly reassured her, "Your Majesty, please don't worry, it's still early for the morning greetings!"
An Ning looked at the sky outside; although it wasn't fully bright, it was already getting light.
What are the rules regarding the timing of paying respects?
She hadn't thought to ask that before.
