Baozhu was busy when Liang Jiugong's apprentice, Liang Anshan, came to her door.
"What are your instructions, Eunuch An?"
There was only one eunuch Liang in front of the emperor. Although Liang Anshan also had the surname Liang, he was known as Eunuch An.
Liang Anshan smiled and said, "Miss Baozhu, you're too kind. It's not really an order. The Emperor wants to see you, so please come with me."
Baozhu's heart skipped a beat. The Emperor wanted to see her. Seeing Liang Anshan smiling like a flower, it didn't seem like a "bad thing." Strictly speaking, the palace maids in front of the Emperor were people that Kangxi could sleep with at any time.
On the way there, she kept reflecting. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have tried to make her presence known to the Emperor...
Upon arriving before the Emperor, Baozhu lowered her head, and Emperor Kangxi, sitting at the head of the table, said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."
Baozhu looked up, and her appearance did not surprise him. She was a very pretty girl, not as pretty as Wangshu, but good enough to enter his harem and fit his aesthetic.
However, he also knew that this girl had no intention of joining his harem.
"Good, from now on you will serve Consort Chun!"
Baozhu stared wide-eyed, puzzled. Who was this Noble Lady Chun?
Seeing her confusion, Kangxi said, "Today I brought back a young palace maid from Jingyang Palace from the Imperial Garden. I heard she is your cousin. She is innocent and naive. You are her older cousin. She said you treat her very well. From now on, you will take care of her and make sure she is not bullied."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Baozhu came out, she was completely bewildered. She vaguely remembered that she had found out that the Emperor had indeed gone to Jingyang Palace, but she hadn't heard about it since. She thought her cousin was still young and hadn't started making any moves yet!
She wanted to promote her cousin, but before she could do anything, her cousin had already risen from a palace maid to a noblewoman with a title.
Completely baffled, what exactly happened? The Emperor's favor was far too conspicuous.
When Wangshu woke up, Baozhu was watching over her bedside. When she saw her cousin, Wangshu's eyes lit up immediately: "Sister!"
His tone was cheerful and jubilant.
Baozhu felt much better after hearing this; at least she wasn't so heavy-hearted anymore.
"You're a mistress now, don't be so unruly."
Wang Shu was stunned. Although Physician Xia addressed her as "Little Mistress," she didn't have a formal title before going to bed!
"Sister, what's going on? How did I become a concubine?"
"you do not know?"
Baozhu looked at the confusion on her face, her mind a complete mess.
Should I know?
Baozhu frowned: "Tell me first how you met the Emperor and how you got to the Qianqing Palace?"
Wang Shu blushed and said, "I worked in the library of Jingyang Palace. I met the Emperor there last year, but I didn't know he was the Emperor at the time. We treated each other as friends, and I thought he was a eunuch copying books."
Today, when I returned from the Imperial Household Department, Consort Nara punished me by making me kneel for disrespect. The Emperor then came and took me to the Qianqing Palace. After washing up, I went to sleep. When I woke up, I saw my elder sister.
Baozhu was very clever and understood the general situation. She breathed a sigh of relief; the situation was better than she had imagined.
Wang Shu is simple-minded, even a little naive at times, but she's very lucky. From last year to now, they've spent at least half a year together, and having feelings for each other is better than having no feelings at all.
The key point is that the Emperor's words clearly indicated that he knew Wang Shu wasn't very smart, and the crucial point is that the Emperor was willing to protect Wang Shu.
Baozhu told her what she knew: "The Emperor has bestowed upon you the title of Noble Lady Chun and sent me to take care of you. From now on, you should stop calling me 'sister' and start acting like a mistress."
Wang Shu wasn't happy and looked at her pitifully, "Sister~"
Baozhu was soft-hearted, but the rules of the harem were strict: "No coquettishness allowed."
Wang Shu: "Can I call you 'older sister' in private?"
Baozhu, worn down by her words, finally gave in: "Alright, alright, I promise you."
Wang Shu immediately went from cloudy to sunny: "Sister is so kind."
Although Wang Shu has become a Noble Lady Chun, she has not yet been assigned to the inner palace and is temporarily residing in the Qianqing Palace.
Although Emperor Kangxi was eager to wait, he was not in such a hurry because of her knee injury.
The waiting time was agonizing yet filled with anticipation, so Kangxi forgot all about the women in the harem and would occasionally tease the young palace maids, enjoying watching their faces turn pink.
Their relationship progressed rapidly.
Not long after Wang Shu entered the Qianqing Palace, the harem learned of her existence. In this story of a hero rescuing a beauty, the villain, Consort Nara, was the one who was most afraid of her.
However, at this time, Kangxi couldn't remember this person.
The one who was most upset was Lady Wuya. She had given birth to a healthy prince and was pregnant again, but a little palace maid had suppressed her rank. Strictly speaking, the opportunity for Wangshu to gain favor was actually designed and provided by her. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood and even had a miscarriage.
Upon hearing that Consort Wuya had summoned the imperial physician, Consort Tong said to her nanny, "Go and deliver the news of Consort Wuya's miscarriage to Qianqing Palace. Whether the Emperor comes or not depends on whether she has the ability to do so."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Shu's appearance did cause some ripples. She was rescued by the Emperor in the Imperial Garden, brought back to the Qianqing Palace, and then given the title of Noble Lady.
Well, in today's harem where raising children is so difficult, her existence is destined to block the path of some people.
However, she was in the Qianqing Palace, and all that was said was that she was a very beautiful person. Consort Tong wanted to use the matter of Uya's miscarriage to sound out her intentions.
After receiving news that Lady Uya was having trouble conceiving, Emperor Kangxi did not go to see her at the Qianqing Palace, but he did arrange for an imperial physician to go and help her maintain the pregnancy.
When the women in the harem learned of this, they realized that Consort Chun must be a formidable rival.
