"The Imperial Household Department helped a lot with the design, and I made all the things inside, and the style was also made according to my wishes. Does Your Majesty like it?"
"Of course I like it. I just didn't expect that my little moon would have such great abilities, even being able to make clocks. It's really amazing."
Wang Shu was embarrassed by the praise: "If Your Majesty likes it, then put it in the study of Qianqing Palace. That way, Your Majesty will think of me when you look at the time. I can't be with you all the time, but I want Your Majesty to think of me as soon as you look up."
"I will keep it in my study and look at it every day. I have received your kind intentions."
Wang Shu smiled and said, "This is not enough. This is also for the Emperor."
After saying that, Wang Shu took out a blueprint and gave it to him.

Emperor Kangxi had also studied clocks. Even if he couldn't make them himself, he could still tell the quality of the blueprints. The blueprints looked much better than those provided by the Imperial Household Department.
"Is this your own idea?"
"I think so. I made a clock, and Baozhu said that if it could be sold, it would bring in a lot of income. That's when I had this idea. But is there something wrong with my idea?"
As she spoke, she looked at Kangxi with a worried expression.
Kangxi quickly replied, "There is nothing wrong with it. My Consort Chun is indeed pure and kind."
Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
