She also told me that she was a time traveler.
Kangxi's brows furrowed more and more, and he looked at Mingxiu with obvious disbelief.
Seeing his expression, Mingxiu had no choice but to obediently hand over all the evidence she could find.
No wonder he didn't believe it.
In the end, Mingxiu couldn't understand the expression on Kangxi's face.
"You said you came from three hundred years in the future."
Mingxiu nodded.
"I came here right after I entered the palace."
Mingxiu nodded.
"Will my Qing Dynasty have perished three hundred years from now?"
Mingxiu stiffened for a moment, but still nodded with a forced smile.
Finally, Kangxi stopped talking and just stared at the computer in his hand, which displayed images of history that Mingxiu had just found out.
Mingxiu waited for a long time but he didn't speak again.
She called out cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
What if I scare someone to death?
Mingxiu was a little scared.
"I'm fine, so how did you get here?" Kangxi suddenly turned to look at Mingxiu with a serious expression.
When the topic came up, Mingxiu felt extremely aggrieved and recounted the whole story in detail: "At the time, I couldn't think straight and was just easily fooled by it."
She was really furious, but she couldn't find anyone to hold accountable.
There's nowhere to reason with them.
Kangxi listened helplessly as Mingxiu recounted her experiences.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
All I could do was pat her on the shoulder in comfort.
Mingxiu was truly helpless, but there was really no other way, so she could only do it this way.
"Actually, I had already noticed something was off about you before, but I never asked about it. I never expected that I would have the opportunity to experience it for myself today." Kangxi looked at the unusual decorations around him and sighed.
ah?
"Your Majesty, did you know that I had been acting strangely?" Mingxiu's heart suddenly jumped. She hadn't done anything wrong.
Mingxiu had already made up a reason to give the congratulations made by those time-traveling predecessors, and that was all that remained.
It was just some food, but she didn't go too far.
How could she have been exposed? She always thought she had protected herself quite well.
Kangxi smiled when he saw Mingxiu's bewildered expression.
"Want to know how I discovered your problem?"
Mingxiu nodded.
Kangxi raised his head, pondered for a moment, as if wondering where to begin.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Actually, it's very simple. What I noticed first was the book you gave me."
Mingxiu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, never imagining how she had been exposed from this point.
"I have read that book, and I am always amazed every time I read it. The contents are so complete that it seems to have been tailor-made for the Qing Dynasty. It contains everything that the Qing Dynasty needs now."
Mingxiu nodded; she had indeed found what the Qing Dynasty needed.
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Kangxi chuckled and said, "But it's precisely because it's so complete that I have my doubts. These things are not only needed by the Qing Dynasty, but also by other countries. So why is it that only you have this book, while other countries don't?"
"But at the beginning, I only had some questions, but I didn't have any other thoughts. After all, at that time, the Qing Dynasty did not have any contact with people outside, and I didn't know much about it."
Mingxiu nodded again; yes, she did indeed have this idea.
"But after that, I had more contact with you. Although you tried your best to hide it, I still felt that you didn't really care about imperial power, or you could say that you weren't afraid of imperial power at all. You didn't have a sense of hierarchy in your heart."
"You treat all palace maids, eunuchs, concubines, and even me the same way. You like to consult with them before doing things, and you never scold or beat the palace servants. You are really good to them."
Mingxiu's lips twitched. That was true. In modern times, she was an ordinary person, so ordinary that she couldn't be more ordinary. However, the education she received from childhood taught her that everyone is equal, and she had long since accepted this concept from the bottom of her heart.
So after arriving here, she mostly followed her heart. Although she knew that it was impossible for everyone to be truly equal in this era, she was still not used to hitting or scolding others.
Even if I'm really angry, at most I'll punch my pillow a couple of times to vent, or I'll have a big meal and a good night's sleep and I'll be fine. I would never take my anger out on innocent people.
But she's not made of clay; if someone really provokes her, she won't be polite.
However, she was acting in self-defense because there are no modern laws in this world, so she flexibly changed her approach.
Kangxi found it quite amusing to see Mingxiu's speechless expression.
"But actually, none of these are the most important. The most important thing is that when I teach you, although there are many things you really don't know, such as painting and calligraphy, there are also many things that you learn very quickly, too quickly."
"For example, your flute, and your knowledge, especially the things you give to Bao Cheng, and the things you make for Bao Cheng to play with. Sometimes the things you say are completely beyond what someone of your family's level could be trained to do. So my suspicions about you have gradually deepened."
"Later, I also investigated your family and met with your younger brother. Although your younger brother is also very outstanding, what he has learned and knows is what your family can cultivate in a child."
