That day, after dinner, Wangshu was taken by the imperial nanny to wash up. Dressed in a thin gauze dress, she sat on the dragon bed in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the bed's owner.
She had been to this house before and even taken a nap here, so it wasn't unfamiliar to her; it was just that it was daytime then, which was a little different from nighttime.
The candlelight was dim, and the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Wang Shu thought to herself.
As footsteps approached, Wang Shu's face began to flush red.
During the past two weeks, Emperor Kangxi personally trained her. Before she came, her nanny also told her about the skills and rules of serving the emperor. To put it simply, it was more surprising than she had imagined, proving once again that the ancients were not conservative in some aspects.
Even someone with considerable experience like her couldn't help but blush from the sight of these erotic pictures. They were a treasured imperial collection, far more beautiful than any modern film, and featured a wide variety of poses.
When Kangxi entered, he saw a blushing girl who, in the candlelight, appeared otherworldly.
"Upon closer inspection, it shines like a lotus emerging from clear water!"
Wang Shu looked over with a puzzled expression: "What is Your Majesty saying?"
Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "I was saying that Little Moon is like the goddess Luo reincarnated."
Wang Shu said shyly, "This concubine is not as good as Your Majesty says."
"If I say it exists, then it exists."
Kangxi chose a perfect time; he didn't have to attend the grand court session the next day, and his body, meticulously maintained by the system, was flawless.
Kangxi had a good experience, but what about Wangshu?
Aside from being a little unaccustomed at first, Kangxi's rich experience allowed her to quickly get into the swing of things. If she could describe it with an idiom, she would say it was like being on cloud nine.
When she woke up, Emperor Kangxi was no longer in bed.
"System, what have you done to my body?"
"It's just a small modification, but it will bring you ultimate joy. How about it? Do you like it?"
His response was Wang Shu's silence.
Well, to say she liked it wouldn't be quite right, but to say she didn't like it, she was definitely happy.
The system is pushing her towards becoming a femme fatale who brings ruin to the country! No one would refuse such extreme pleasure.
Next, after Wang Shu served the emperor for seven consecutive days in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi finally ordered her to move to the Qixiang Palace.
As for why it was Qixiang Palace, it was because no one had been assigned to live there before. Most of the concubines lived in the Eastern Six Palaces. Kangxi felt that Wangshu was too easy to bully, and having her live alone would save him a lot of scheming.
"Granny Zhang, Sister Su Mu, Xiao Chengzi?!"
Upon seeing familiar faces, Wang Shu couldn't stop smiling.
The three, along with the other palace servants of Qixiang Palace, bowed to Wangshu: "Greetings to Your Highness, may Your Highness be blessed."
Wang Shu said awkwardly, "You don't need to be so polite, please get up."
"Thank you, young master."
Then, Granny Zhang led Wangshu to the main hall.
Baozhu paused, "Your Highness is a noble person, yet you are allowed to live in the main hall?"
It might be a trap.
Baozhu had always been by Wangshu's side serving her daily life, so she was unaware of what was happening at Qixiang Palace.
Granny Zhang explained, "Although Your Highness is a Noble Lady, the Emperor said that everything should be done according to the regulations for a Consort. Living in the main hall was also specially ordered by the Emperor. The furnishings inside are almost all from the Emperor's private treasury, and many of them were sent after the Emperor had inspected them."
Wang Shu and Bao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief; at least no one was trying to frame her.
Upon entering the main hall, Wang Shu looked around and found the furnishings to be indeed beautiful, magnificent yet exquisite, giving off an air of nobility without being ostentatious.
That's definitely her style.
Emperor Kangxi was truly a perfect lover; when it came to women, he would shower them with care and attention if he liked them.
After inspecting the accommodations, Granny Zhang took out an account book: "These are the rewards given by the Emperor, and I have already registered them."
Granny Zhang was literate. As the head nanny of the palace, it was impossible for her to be completely ignorant. Palace maids were not allowed to be literate, but nannies were.
The palace was in constant flux because everyone was illiterate, leading to numerous problems.
Wangshu looked at Baozhu expectantly, her face full of dependence, indicating that she didn't know what to do.
Baozhu sighed inwardly, then said, "I'll leave the account books to you, Granny. From now on, I'll still need to trouble you with the comings and goings at Qixiang Palace."
"It's all what this servant should do."
Baozhu has already checked Jingyang Palace through Dai Jia's family connections, and can confirm that Granny Zhang, Su Mu, and that Xiao Chengzi are all safe.
The family has already made contact with them, and they have been arranged by the Emperor to come here. They are trustworthy, and they must be trusted.
Then Baozhu, Granny Zhang, Su Mu, and Xiao Chengzi began to arrange the affairs of Qixiang Palace in an orderly manner, without her having to worry about anything.
Wang Shu thought this was good. The system's energy couldn't monitor the entire Forbidden City, but it could handle Qixiang Palace. Just getting some sunshine every day would be enough.
During this time, Wang Shu enjoyed a peaceful life. In fact, Bao Zhu was not idle at all. She persuaded her father to give Wang Shu access to the family's connections.
After learning that his niece had become a Noble Lady without having served the emperor, Lord Dai Jia considered that she had grown up under his watchful eye. Given the circumstances, pushing his daughter out again would not have a good effect.
Thus, Baozhu controlled the entire family's network of connections, and she was required by Emperor Kangxi to focus solely on Wangshu's future.
Emperor Kangxi tacitly approved of this outcome and secretly gave it a push.
His feelings for Wang Shu were different from his feelings for others. He didn't know how long his feelings would last, so while those feelings were still there, he did his best to pave the way for her.
Even if he no longer favors her in the future, she will still be able to survive in the harem.
This was the first time Kangxi had ever cared so much for a woman.
