Xueli, a snake demon who had been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for 500 years, was caught by a passing system just as she was barely surviving a lightning tribulation. She then sough...
Just as the yellow waste in Yishe Yitong's mind was reaching the sky, Liang Jiugong came out: "Your Majesty, summon the nanny in."
Emperor Kangxi wasn't particularly busy at the moment.
I had initially seen that Granny Zhangjia's face was full of affection and concern.
When Kangxi saw Xue Li behind Zhangjia Mama, his eyes sparkled with joy.
"This servant is here on the Empress Dowager's orders to deliver fresh tea to His Majesty! This young palace maid has brewed the tea exceptionally well! Your Majesty may have a taste!"
Sherry: I can drink it, but I can't make it! Besides, even if I did make it, it would be sweet milk tea, okay?
System: You big devil, where's your brain? You've been sold out and you're still thinking about milk tea?
Sydney: ? ? ? It's just making tea!
A certain system: ...
Sherry was a little anxious. She had already boasted so much; what if she didn't do a good job? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing? Wouldn't she embarrass the Empress Dowager? That wouldn't do.
Granny Zhangjia had already left with Liang Jiugong.
Kangxi watched with great interest as Xue Li's expression changed.
What are you struggling with?
"Will I embarrass the Empress Dowager if I don't brew the tea well?" Shirley blurted out, her mouth moving faster than her brain.
"Haha, it's alright, your cake is excellent!" Kangxi had already thoroughly investigated her.
After all, if he wants something, he can get it; it's just a matter of time.
Of course, his maternal grandmother wouldn't let him struggle with this for too long.
Sherry looked up in a daze, then lowered her eyes and curved her lips into a smile.
As a result, Shirley became Emperor Kangxi's tea-serving maid, attending to him at his side.
Sherry: Ugh, this job is no good! It's too tiring!
A certain system: You think you're being wronged by serving national leaders?
Sherry: The Empress Dowager is still the best!
System: I told you you were a good-for-nothing!
Sydney: So, I have to start making sauces and fermenting them before they're even fully grown?
A system: You can start dating first.
Sherry: Hmm, I've made up my mind. Everyone has their own unique talents, and with my looks, I'm destined to be the most beautiful woman in the harem!
A certain system: A beautiful but clueless woman is more practical!
Sherry: Hmph, this queen is constantly improving, while you're still stuck in the same place, far behind me!
A certain system: Have some shame, will you?
Sherry ignored it, and Mumu stared blankly into space, actually thinking about her new persona.
It's just a toy; it's nothing more than hers!
If something is made to its absolute best, it's absolutely top-notch. Shirley imagined herself as cold, elegant, stunningly beautiful, incomparably gorgeous, captivating, and radiantly charming...
System: Pshaw! Where's your face? ?_?
Kangxi almost laughed in anger when he saw her empty eyes.
This is the first time someone has dared to disregard an emperor like this!
"Shuang'er?" Kangxi's voice was deep.
"..." Sherry was still brainstorming her character design.
"Heh...you've got some nerve!" By the time Sherry realized what was happening, the man in front of her had already lifted her chin.
Sherry looked bewildered. Did he say anything?
Sherry smiled obediently, her alluring face framed by clear eyes.
Kangxi stroked her cheek with one hand, his thumb caressing her lips.
Sherry thought this guy was pretty good at flirting.
So how could she fall behind?
Sherry rolled her eyes, wanting to play a trick, and her small tongue darted out to make intimate contact with the other person's fingers.
Kangxi looked at the damp fingertips and the fleeting slyness in the little girl's eyes.
A carefree and unrestrained smile spread across his face.
He leaned down and kissed her.
Sherry panicked for a moment but then relaxed.
She let Kangxi embrace her waist and kiss her passionately.
A blush spread from Shirley's neck to her cheeks. Kangxi's hands roamed freely as he held the tearful-eyed girl, laughing radiantly...
Then he nimbly withdrew and went back to reviewing memorials.
But what he was really thinking was that he seemed to smell an extremely fragrant and sweet aroma?!
Sherry: I've already chosen all the erotic pictures, are you going to give me one?
System: Tsk tsk tsk, I told you, is the Great Demon really stupid? Normally, others would be shy and hesitant, pulling and tugging at each other, but you! You're even more impatient than him!
Sherry: This is so annoying! They keep pulling and tugging at me. I'm afraid if I keep pulling, the men will become brothers!
System: Pfft—It's alright, do whatever you want, Emperor Kangxi likes a good-for-nothing like you!
Sherry: Watch my invincible spiraling whirlwind!
System: Holy crap! ahh ...
Sherry glanced at Kangxi with a hint of resentment. Kangxi didn't look up, but a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
Sherry picked up a piece of cream cake and started eating it, her pink tongue licking the white cream little by little.
Kangxi's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot!
"Liang Jiugong! Take them away!" Liang Jiugong rushed in from outside and pulled Xue Li out!
Sherry was placed in the back hall, where a young palace maid served her!
"Liang Jiugong, take these to her, and also send some milk fruit!" Just as Liang Jiugong was about to reply, Kangxi instructed him again without even looking up.
"Yes, sir!" Liang Jiugong took the box and retreated. He was glad that he hadn't taken the person seriously because it was sent by the Empress Dowager.
Look, doesn't His Majesty like it quite a bit?
Sherry finally felt relaxed as she leaned back in her chair.
She ate her snacks and fruits little by little and drank milk, and even generously shared some with her maid, Shaoyao, who served her.
And so, Sherry began her life as a tea-serving palace maid in name only.
She started by standing properly, then became bold enough to sit, and later she read Emperor Kangxi's collection of books!
Occasionally, she would accompany Emperor Kangxi in his studies, adding fragrance to his writing!
Sherry always thought this would last for several years, at least until her mountains and valleys began to rise.
One night, while Sherry was half asleep, someone barged into the house.
Kangxi entered with bloodshot eyes, and the refusal that Shirley hadn't had a chance to utter was completely swallowed up.
Peony was pulled out by Liang Jiugong!
Sherry kept hypnotizing herself to relax, which prevented her from suffering too much!
While she was fast asleep, a group of palace maids were expelled from the Qianqing Palace!
When Sherry woke up after sleeping all day, she looked rather pitiful!
When Emperor Kangxi arrived, he instructed her to take good care of herself, sat with her for a while, and then left.
Kangxi didn't mention the matter of rank, and neither did Shirley!
After all, she saw the Emperor every day in the Qianqing Palace. Although the imperial aura was less, it was continuous.
If she were relegated to some obscure corner of the harem, even Emperor Kangxi would have a hard time remembering her.
It was through Peony that Sherry learned about what happened that night.
It is said that a palace maid in the library poisoned the emperor and was beaten to death!
Emperor Kangxi was usually served by eunuchs, and only had maids who served tea and warmed his bed.
Once a palace maid who warms the emperor's bed is taken in, she can no longer leave the palace and can only follow him without any official title or status.
Sherry wasn't worried, after all, she still had the Empress Dowager!
After that, Kangxi began to openly and legitimately summon her to his bedchamber.
Shirley happily asked Kangxi for the Fire Avoidance Chart, but Kangxi, despite his cold smile, still found it for her!
Shirley took advantage of the fact that no one else was in the room to pose for him.
Be as alluring and seductive as possible!
