With Kangxi's comfort, Wangshu recovered from the pain of miscarriage, and her life became regular and normal again. During this time, although there were some minor squabbles and jealousies, no one dared to use any tricks against Wangshu.
The examples of Nara and the commoner Uya are still around!
Consort Tong couldn't help but bring up the issue of Yinzhen's future with Emperor Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, now that Lady Wuya has been confined to the Cold Palace, Yinzhen cannot have a commoner's mother. What do you think, should we change Yinzhen's imperial genealogy?"
As for whose name it should be transferred to, naturally her, as the adoptive mother, is the most suitable.
Kangxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Since Lady Wuya gave birth to Yinzhen, how can we neglect our mother who gave birth to him? The imperial genealogy will not be changed."
Disappointment flashed in Consort Tong's eyes.
Kangxi saw it, but turned a blind eye. He couldn't change Yinzhen's imperial genealogy to her name; it would be bad for the Crown Prince, a disaster for the Tong family, and even for Yinzhen himself.
Consort Tong quickly composed herself and regained her gentle demeanor: "Your Majesty is right. I will teach Yinzhen well."
"I have complete confidence in my cousin's work. With you raising him, Yinzhen will surely be a good child."
Consort Tong nodded with a smile, but her heart suddenly sank. Such emphasis showed that Lady Uya had indeed influenced Kangxi's opinion of Yinzhen.
Once again, Consort Tong wished she could tear Uya to pieces in her heart, calling her a stupid thing who was dragging her son down.
——
And so, more than half a year passed.
Wang Shu's life continued as usual, but a small problem arose with Consort Hui.
"Your Majesty, Juechan from the Xinzheku is getting restless."
Consort Hui was taken aback. Come to think of it, she had almost forgotten about this person. She had raised the Sixth Prince by her side. That's right, Kangxi re-ordered the birth order of the living imperial princes. The youngest son born to Consort Hui, the sixth son, became Kangxi's eldest son.
Because she had a child, she didn't lack support. Emperor Kangxi would occasionally visit her palace, and with Wangshu's favor, she seemed to have a certain dignity.
Consort Hui then completely forgot about Lady Juechan.
However, since we bribed them back then, we should really push them out. We can't let them go to waste; it's good to have one more person to help.
“Have someone train her and find an opportunity to present her to the Emperor. Consort Chun is beautiful, but it’s been almost two years. The Emperor should start to favor a new favorite.”
"This servant will arrange it immediately."
Over at Wangshu.
"Host, you are pregnant."
Wang Shu was taken aback: "How is the child?"
Honestly, although the system said that her body was now perfectly suited for conceiving after his treatment, her mindset was still there. She always felt that having a child at such a young age wouldn't be good for either herself or the child.
But she really does need a child.
It will soon be the twentieth year of Kangxi's reign. At that time, Kangxi will bestow titles upon the imperial harem, and those who miscarry will be granted the title of concubine. Although the compensation may be excessive, there are still many who are granted the title of concubine without having children.
According to Kangxi's plan, during the grand conferment of titles, all the concubines to be conferred titles would be those who had children. If she were to be conferred a title, but she didn't have any children, it would stand out too much.
System: "You still don't trust me? With me here, the child will be perfectly fine and healthy!"
Although it's just an embryo, it's a healthy one.
"How many months?"
"It's not even been a month yet. The imperial physician probably wouldn't be able to tell without carefully examining your pulse. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your diet and make sure nothing harms the fetus."
"Thank you, system."
Without the system, she probably wouldn't have chosen to have a child. She couldn't be impressed with the medical conditions, and childbirth was truly a brush with death.
In an unfamiliar dynasty, she truly needed a child of blood to calm her mind.
It is a reliance, and even more so, a source of hope!
On the other side, under the arrangement of Consort Hui, Lady Juechan was seen by Emperor Kangxi.
The beautiful palace maid, trembling and kneeling below, was indeed pitiful. Kangxi was unusually stunned, his mind filled with Wangshu's face.
Juechan's knees ached from kneeling before Kangxi finally spoke: "Which palace are you from? What's your name?"
“This servant is Yunyan, a palace maid from the Xinzheku.”
Kangxi frowned for a moment, but still said, "Get up."
Then he instructed Liang Jiugong: "Send the person to the inner chamber of the Qianqing Palace."
Liang Jiugong was stunned, and Juechan was also stunned.
The outer quarters of the Qianqing Palace were inhabited by palace maids without official titles or ranks. After serving the emperor, they would be given a contraceptive soup.
Liang Jiugong quickly lowered his head: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Miss Yunyan, please!"
Liang Jiugong arranged for one of his apprentices to send the palace maids from the outer chamber back. After she left, Kangxi said, "Go and find out who arranged for them to come over."
He liked the beautiful women, but they were palace maids from the Imperial Laundry Department, and he didn't intend to put them into his harem.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liang Jiugong then realized that she was useless and that her beauty was a waste.
Juechan's background was easy to trace, and Consort Hui didn't intend to hide it. In the first place, it was she who pushed her out. After Kangxi found out, he didn't say anything.
She naturally became one of the palace maids in the inner quarters.
Wang Shu also lived in Qianqing Palace, but at that time, she had a room to herself and was served by others. The palace maids in the surrounding rooms were essentially palace maids.
Aside from having lighter work, they didn't have anyone to serve them personally, and they didn't even have a private room. However, their treatment was indeed better than that of ordinary palace maids.
The structure of the harem remains unchanged.
Juechan felt despair, and Huipin felt disappointed.
A palace maid living in a secluded room can't even enter the inner palace, so helping her compete for the emperor's favor is probably not going to work.
Consort Hui couldn't help but say, "She's really useless. What a waste of such a beautiful face. She can't even get into the harem."
