Shirley ignored him, riding her horse and reciting poetry with ease and grace.

"The eagle's eye is sharp even when the grass withers, and the horse's hooves are light when the snow melts!"

"A horse gallops every ten miles, a whip cracks every five!"

Kangxi, who was lying on the bed breathing heavily, finally realized what was happening and instantly became so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

"How dare you treat me like a horse? Hmm~" The harsh words suddenly changed tone at the end.

Sherry smiled sweetly and mischievously: "No way, I'm clearly a dragon rider~"

Kangxi paused for a moment, his forehead covered in sweat, and his eyes showed a hint of panic and helplessness.

"I told you to study, and this is how you use it? Ah~" Kangxi struggled to sit up, but still couldn't bear to push her away.

"Otherwise what? Didn't you understand, Master? How perfectly appropriate and fitting!" Shirley pushed Kangxi down again and turned around.

Kangxi watched as the two juicy peaches transformed into two round, plump little watermelons.

He didn't say a word, his hands gripping her slender waist, holding her waist as if he were holding onto everything.

In an instant, the room was filled with the warmth of spring.

The lingering sounds were even more frequent and fragmented than the cicadas' chirping in midsummer.

After another plunder, Sherry was feeling drowsy.

When he was pinned to the bed, he turned over and tried to fall asleep, which made Kangxi laugh in exasperation.

This is the first time among so many concubines that someone has been used and then discarded.

Kangxi went to take a bath, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he started drinking with pear sauce.

After some time, Sherry got really annoyed.

"Elder sister, brother-in-law bullied me with a horsewhip~" Shirley seemed to be talking in her sleep.

Kangxi was still feeling smug when he heard these words, and he was both ashamed and angry.

He slapped Shirley's pert bottom hard, then angrily washed up and went to sleep with her in his arms.

The next day, Sherry slept until the sun was high in the sky.

When I woke up, I met Gao Wa's bright, piercing eyes.

"Zahari, tell me, how did you serve me in bed?"

Even Lin Jue, the old woman behind Gao Wa, couldn't hold her back.

Granny Lin looked at Xue Li with an apologetic expression.

Of course, Sherry wasn't angry. What can't best friends say or talk about?

Sherry peeked over, and Gao Wa's eyes lit up as she peered in.

After hesitating for a while, Sherry finally said, "Guess!"

Gao Wa looked at him speechlessly.

"You'll know once you've served the emperor!" Sherry began washing up and changing her clothes.

"No, I want to live!" Gao Wa shook her head like a rattle drum.

Sherry yawned casually, without any regard for her image.

Aunt Lianqiao looked at her sternly, and Xueli sat up straight and sat in front of the mirror to do her makeup.

"Tell me about it~" Gao Wa was still a little curious, her big eyes sparkling.

“You know, it’s horseback riding! You can do it too!” Sherry raised an eyebrow, her words intriguing.

Gao Wa looked like she suddenly understood.

The peonies being tended and the newly promoted roses both looked puzzled.

Aunt Lianqiao and Granny Linjue looked at each other, their faces turning red.

After eating, Sherry felt even sleepier, so she pulled Gao Wa to stay with her while she slept.

Gao Wa thought she would be bored without Shirley, so she finally agreed.

But one conclusion has come to mind: serving the emperor is more tiring than riding a horse. Look at her lively girlfriends, how long have they been sleeping?

On the other side, Emperor Kangxi was both proud and worried when he learned that Xue Li slept until late morning.

"How is she feeling? Has a royal physician been consulted?"

"Consort Jing is fine, just tired. It turns out that Your Highness is quite sleepy." Liang Jiugong replied hastily, his efforts to inquire about the news from that side today were worthwhile.

And here it is, it came in handy.

Kangxi nodded: "She comes from a distinguished family, and shabby jewelry is not suitable for her. Send her that jade and gemstone inlaid floral and auspicious pattern jewel from the treasury. After all, she is the Empress Yuan's sister, and she deserves it!"

Kangxi continued talking to himself, unaware of Liang Jiugong's surprised gaze.

Liang Jiugong bowed and retreated, gazing into the distance, when he suddenly laughed.

The phrase "The world has changed" drifted in the wind.

When Shirley woke up in the afternoon, she looked at the gifts sent by Emperor Kangxi. Apart from the gold and silver, there were silver gilt kingfisher feather inlaid jewels and auspicious ornaments, silver gilt inlaid jewels and a five-phoenix pattern head ornament, kingfisher feather apricot and swallow pattern head ornament, kingfisher feather carnation pattern head ornament, and kingfisher feather bird and lotus pattern head ornament.

There are five more bolts of fabric. They come in four colors: Fuguang (a type of shimmering gold), Kujin (another type of shimmering gold), Songhua (another type of shimmering gold), Oubi (another type of shimmering gold), and Zipu (another type of shimmering gold).

They are all colors that Sherry likes, except that the purple-brown one looks a bit old-fashioned.

But that color was considered too low-status to wear.

Sherry was quite satisfied and ate a lot of food.

She hugged her round, bulging belly and went out to enjoy the breeze in the yard.

Emperor Kangxi did not wander around the inner palace when he was handling state affairs.

Sherry remained the same as always, except that her family, having received news that she had finally been chosen to serve the emperor, began to contact her.

Sherry ignored her.

Aunt Lianqiao looked at her hesitantly, and Xue Li was speechless.

"Aunt, tell them that the Emperor is in his prime and it's not up to others to interfere!"

Aunt Lianqiao paused for a moment, then withdrew.

Sherry guessed that Suo'etu wouldn't listen to reason, after all, he was promoted by Emperor Kangxi.

Whether they were empresses or court officials, it was difficult for them to remain calm in the face of overwhelming wealth.

It's not just empresses and concubines who become spoiled and arrogant because of their favor.

Sure enough, after a couple of days, Aunt Lianqiao looked at her with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Sherry looked at the letter that was handed to her and burned it immediately.

Two days later, Emperor Kangxi came again.

Before Shirley could speak, Kangxi carried her into the bedroom.

Then, this night was exceptionally quiet.

Only the bed curtains swayed and swayed.

Two months later, Sherry became pregnant.
