After all, she's a human poison testing machine, what is she afraid of!

She was indeed not afraid, but the concubines who entertained her for the first time were filled with lingering fear.

I was terrified that she would frame me and slander me, leaving me speechless!

Since she finished plotting against Consort Yi, Shirley has been "out of touch with worldly affairs" for quite some time.

She felt good about herself, so she was very relaxed and at ease.

Over time, I managed to maintain a good relationship with everyone and avoid being isolated.

Of course, she didn't have time to chat with everyone about being older sisters or younger sisters.

She has two adorable little ones in her palace—one next door!

After eating and drinking her fill, Shirley returned to the palace with the Imperial Noble Consort. She subtly hinted at the matter, but the Imperial Noble Consort pretended not to hear and returned to the palace.

Sherry turned right and returned to the palace.

Back in the palace, there were thick carpets and the edges of the furniture were covered with soft cloth.

The two little ones play with toys here every day and try to learn to walk.

Sherry takes her dog for a walk around the house and yard every day.

It wasn't a wasted trip; we found some dirty things.

Some were arranged by her, while others were sent in by people in the shadows.

Sherry cried pitifully and arranged for someone to find Kangxi.

When Emperor Kangxi arrived at Yonghe Palace, he saw her in the same state.

It just feels a bit disjointed no matter how you look at it, after all, just the day before, Sherry had been lecturing him like a queen.

Thinking of this, Kangxi's cheeks flushed red.

It took him a long time to calm down and think things through, and then he arranged for someone to investigate.

He had a general idea of ​​who was causing trouble, and therefore strongly opposed the Crown Prince's close relationship with Suo'etu.

However, in order not to affect his relationship with his son, he did not speak out directly.

At this moment, Kangxi held Xue Li and gently coaxed her, showering her with various treasures to comfort her.

Sherry originally came for those treasures!

So she would occasionally whine and ask Kangxi for things.

Emperor Kangxi had seen people currying favor with him, subtly complaining to him, asking him to secure official positions for their families, and introducing his sisters to him... but he had never seen anyone shamelessly asking him for money, shops, or treasures.

Yes, baby!

I want both hot and cold.

To be honest, Kangxi found it quite novel and was quite happy about it.

After all, Sherry said it with a straight face: "You're my man, what's wrong with me asking my man for a treasure?"

Kangxi tried hard to suppress his laughter: "Yes, yes, that's how it should be! But, do you recognize the treasure?"

Sherry was stunned for a moment, then showed him her collection.

There are raw, irregularly shaped jade pieces, a dilapidated small tripod, a rough and inferior bowl, and an incense burner missing several pieces...

Kangxi looked at her, then at her precious child, and saw the loving look on her face.

After that, Emperor Kangxi frequently bestowed gifts upon her and gave her private lessons in appreciating cultural relics.

Shirley belatedly realized that Kangxi thought she was unambitious.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages; her taste has indeed improved considerably.

And so, after getting her hair and clothes styled, she started a new hobby: appraising antiques!

There's nothing else to it, it's just an open and aboveboard search for Kangxi's treasures.

For example: Yongle blue and white porcelain from the previous dynasty, vibrant and colorful polychrome porcelain, calligraphy and paintings by the Four Masters of Wu School, and other precious calligraphy and paintings from various dynasties.

There are also various ancient jades, such as jade bi discs and pendants from the Han Dynasty.

The Shang and Zhou bronzes also include some rare ancient manuscripts...

Sherry was very satisfied; she even managed to sneak into the storeroom where Emperor Kangxi kept his treasures.

She had a gut feeling that she had accumulated too many old items.

At least we can contact her grave.

Therefore, Sherry spied on Kangxi's small storeroom more than once.

Kangxi assumed she had a particular preference, so he was not stingy with his money.

Soon it would be the 21st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1682).

During the Lunar New Year, Shirley had the opportunity to celebrate with the Imperial Noble Consort.

The Imperial Noble Consort's face immediately darkened when she tentatively brought it up.

Sherry changed the subject, thinking of asking the Imperial Noble Consort for advice on changing the fourth prince's clothes at Chengqian Palace.

The Imperial Noble Consort was thoroughly annoyed by her, especially since she was already trying to conceive.

So they agreed.

However, countless times afterward, the Imperial Noble Consort felt guilty towards the Fourth Prince because of her soft heart this time.

Ironically, she always seemed quite excited whenever she went along.

For the first time, Sherry arrived with a wig and a little dress that she had prepared long ago.

Not only that, they also brought various paints, brushes, and paper.

The Imperial Noble Consort waited listlessly until she saw the fourth prince emerge, his chubby little feet adorable.

He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

The little one was a fair-skinned bundle, with a blue wig and a blue-green dress, and was incredibly well-behaved.

Sherry was worried that he might develop gender dysphoria in the future, so she didn't bring him a mirror.

However, the servants behind her had very complicated expressions on their faces.

I both disagree and can't help but like it.

If it weren't for the fact that the fourth prince was so adorable, the Imperial Noble Consort would definitely have accused Shirley of being cunning and treacherous.

Just then, Shirley was happily dressing up the fourth prince. The fourth prince couldn't help but smile at the Imperial Noble Consort's face and listened to Shirley's endless praise.

They were overjoyed.

While Consort Tong was holding the fourth prince and looking him over, Shirley began to draw and record the story, which was supposed to be for his coming-of-age ceremony in the future.

Soon, they changed to another set.

This time he looked like a little swordsman, complete with a fluffy fur collar; at first glance, he looked like a bandit leader.

The little guy's face turned red from the heat, which made the Imperial Noble Consort feel sorry for him.

She glared at Sherry and then took off his clothes again.

As she took off her clothes, she kept thinking about how cute she looked in the first outfit.

She's even hoping to have a daughter herself...

Sherry was babbling away with the little one, while the Imperial Noble Consort stroked her belly, imagining how adorable her daughter would be.

This happened every few days after that!

Every time Sherry left, the Imperial Noble Consort felt that Sherry would lead the Fourth Prince astray.

But every time Sherry came, she couldn't help wanting to watch.
