Chapter 23023 I am a professional at being a lazy office worker...
Master Kang's words were very clear. He decided Xianyu's job with just one sentence - now she was not just going to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager and the Fifth Princess, but also had to serve in the Imperial Study.
The meaning of serving is actually working.
Of course, even if Master Kang was impulsive or confused, it was impossible for him to let Xianyu, the legitimate daughter of the governor of the Beijing camp, enter the palace as a maid and really go to the imperial study to serve him writing and tea.
But it is still possible to be a female official or counselor accompanying the emperor, and there are precedents for such things.
If the gender is changed and it is replaced by a young man from an aristocratic family, then this job is actually equivalent to the imperial guard, which is a common starting position for those with relatively good family backgrounds, especially the children of bannermen, to enter the officialdom.
For example, Xianyu’s father, Wang Ziteng, also served as a royal guard when he first entered officialdom.
Because this job is close to the emperor, it is very convenient for people who are close to the water to get the moon first. Anyone with some ability will not be buried. If you are lucky and have strong ability, you can even be promoted as fast as a rocket.
This is Wang Ziteng.
He was about the same age as Master Kang, and had not been a royal guard for long when he saw the young Master Kang organizing a team of guards to capture Oboi.
Everyone knows what happened later. Master Kang won the victory, and Wang Ziteng, as a member of the guard team that participated in this great operation, became a person recognized by Master Kang. He was a smart person, had good abilities, and a good family background, so his future career path was naturally very smooth.
So after just over a decade, the unranked guard Wang has become the first-rank governor of the Beijing Camp, Lord Wang, the fifth-rank deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, and Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, is still the fifth-rank deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, and Master Kang is still you, Master Kang...
Just think about it, it’s hard to judge the affairs of this world.
All I can say is that Wang Ziteng is one of the children from aristocratic families who is exceptionally lucky and capable.
Now that he has achieved success, it is time for his next generation to shine.
The eldest son, Wang Yao, was bound to take the imperial examination and transform from a military officer to a civil official. As for the eldest daughter, Xianyu, he had no intention of letting her marry a rich and powerful man. He only wanted to raise her well and find her a perfect husband so that she could live a happy and happy life.
Wang Ziteng had originally planned very well, and everything went according to his plan. Wang Yao passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen, and this time he was given the opportunity to take the imperial examination again. If he could pass it in one try, it would be great. If not, he could try a few more times. After all, the child was still young, and there was plenty of time for trial and error.
If things really don't work out later, he can still rely on his connections and resources to find Wang Yao a job as a clerk, or even as a guard in front of the emperor...
Anyway, there is only one son in the family, so he can use all the resources.
As for his daughter Xianyu, she was his sweetheart and he didn't even dare to think about her getting married. He just wanted to take good care of her and let her grow up first.
If the girl doesn't have a man she likes, he will decide to keep her at home. If there is a good man, it is not impossible to marry one into the family... In short, sons are used to benefit the family, and daughters are used to enjoy the family's resources and protection.
Look, how clear and straightforward the arrangements are.
Unfortunately, something went wrong with Xianyu now.
His precious daughter was originally a beautiful and charming girl at home. Who could have thought that everything would change just over the time it takes to have a meal?
Now, Fuguihuaer is going to be taken to the palace to work, what will happen to his precious daughter? Wang Ziteng is very sad.
But he had no way of disobeying the order and could only worry silently for a while - after all, his precious daughter had just caused such a big mess and expressed so many terrible thoughts, and it was already good enough that she could save her own life and the lives of their entire Wang family with a job.
Can't ask for much more.
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he is not the type of person who will easily cause trouble, so he can only let his precious daughter suffer temporarily.
Wang Ziteng was very sad. On the way home from the restaurant, he kept mumbling about how useless he was and how sorry he was for his girl...
His self-blame was so obvious that Xianyu felt a little guilty. She even thought about whether she should comfort her cheap father - after all, he looked like he was about to break, and it would be difficult to resolve the situation without comforting him.
Thinking of this, Xianyu felt even more speechless.
In fact, Wang Ziteng cannot be blamed for this matter at all. If anyone is to be blamed, it can only be Master Kong.
Who knows what this old man is thinking? Why did he suddenly get angry while chatting? He agreed to only accompany the female relatives, so why did he suddenly add more pressure?
To be honest, Xianyu was originally very resistant to Master Kang's latest order.
Think about it, when she traveled through time, she was the only legitimate daughter of a first-rank official. She was also the kind that was loved and pampered by the whole family. How could she want to go out to work?
Don’t tell me about realizing the value of life or something like that?
She just wants to be a salted fish with no dreams, who is corrupted by wealth and glory every day and can only lie down. What's wrong with that?
Our family has the conditions, so why don’t we just be a rich and idle little useless guy?
This is simply a dream life, isn't it?
As a result, while I was strolling in a restaurant and humming a song, I suddenly met a Master Kang, and was suddenly arrested and forced to work. Who can I complain to?
[San'er, what do you think Master Kang is crazy about? Why would he let a little girl like me go to the imperial study? You can't ask me to serve him tea, water, or write for him, right? ]
System 003 was silent, and then responded helplessly: No way, host, I guess Emperor Kangxi thinks you are smart and very pleasing to the eye, so he wants you to enter the palace to broaden your horizons...
Emma, I really can’t continue this story. Help!
The host was so smart, how come she didn't realize that her entire inner thoughts had been leaked out and that Emperor Kangxi had heard every word of her from beginning to end?
He asked you to go to the imperial study because he must want to continue listening to your thoughts.
But this Emperor Kangxi is indeed amazing, worthy of being the top human being here, his intelligence, skills, and courage are all top-notch...
It was just busy gossiping with the host, and now it has come to its senses and realized that a lot of the information was what Emperor Kangxi had intentionally or unintentionally guided the host to "think".
It's really terrifying to think about it, so terrifying...
Alas, there is no way. Since it has come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. Anyway, since Emperor Kangxi knows the host's secret but still wants to keep her by his side, it is obvious that he will not do anything bad to the host.
At least she would be safe until all the value of the host was squeezed out.
And it will never put the host in danger - don't underestimate the most advanced intelligent AI interactive system in the universe! There are a lot of useful dry goods here in 003, and you, an old man, will never be able to finish reading them in your lifetime...
...Today is the "middle school" version of the system. Fortunately, Xianyu didn't have time to notice this. Her attention was still on how to deal with the task.
After returning home for a short rest, she dressed up and went straight into the palace the next day.
Because Master Kang wanted her to go to the imperial study, she did not go into the harem first, but followed the prince into the imperial study to wait.
Of course, it was definitely not possible to go in directly. Wang Ziteng had to go to court, so Xianyu waited in the ear room of the imperial study.
Wang Ziteng loved his daughter so much that he even arranged everything for her and found a quiet and safe house so that she could take a nap while waiting for Master Kang to come home from court.
The provincial examination was imminent, followed by the metropolitan examination. The Ministry of Rites was extremely busy, and Master Kang asked very detailed questions, which inevitably delayed the process for quite a while. The court finally ended.
Because of Xianyu's matter, Wang Ziteng went to work early. He did not have time to be depressed, so he followed Master Kang back to the imperial study, intending to report some work. The most important thing was to see how he would arrange Xianyu.
When the group arrived, the maids had already quietly woken up Xianyu and combed her clothes and hair for her before they went to meet the emperor together.
This was Xianyu's second time meeting Master Kang, but he was wearing court robes, which was very different from the casual clothes he wore when he saw him in the restaurant yesterday.
However, it may also be that he did not deliberately restrain his aura today in his own territory, and he did not hesitate to show off the domineering aura that came from being on the throne for a long time.
Xianyu followed Wang Ziteng and the others to pay their respects. This time, Master Kang did not stop them. He accepted their greetings, sat down and took a sip of the tea in his hand, then spoke lazily:
"Coming?"
Xianyu's mouth twitched a little, thinking: Didn't you ask me to come? You are still pretending, old man.
She was in a bad mood, but did not show it on her face. She just bowed her head respectfully, as if she was listening carefully to Master Kang's lecture. But in fact, her mind had already flown away to who knows where else - there was nothing she could do, as this scene was too much like what she experienced at work in the real world.
Even Master Kong’s speeches sound like a leadership lecture — incomprehensible and useless, but endless and impossible not to listen to.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to appear to be listening carefully but in fact not hearing a single word, which is Xianyu's current state.
Just kidding, she is a professional at being a lazy office worker. This skill is basically ingrained in her bones and blood, and she can trigger it anytime and anywhere without any effort.
Xianyu quickly got into the role, but Master Kang was unhappy.
Because he found that he could no longer hear Xianyu's thoughts.
The reason why he judged that he couldn't hear it, rather than Xianyu couldn't hear it, was mainly because he could see that Wang Ziteng was still listening.
So, is it because I forced her to enter the palace and even serve in the imperial study, which annoyed her, that she can't hear me?
This is really a cruel and ruthless turn of events.
Master Kang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. After all, it seemed that he really needed the child now, more than the child needed him.
What else is there to say? If you make someone angry, just coax them.
Master Kang sighed and started to have a chat with Xianyu, but the effect was not very good.
When he was standing there at a loss as to what to do, he suddenly saw the Fourth Prince sitting silently in the corner. Immediately, an inspiration came to him and he thought of someone.
"Old Fourth, I suddenly remembered that I haven't paid my respects to the Empress Dowager for a long time. Since you are here, please go there for me and tell her that I want to bring someone to see her today and ask her to save some food for me."
