They share the same slender frame, the same gentle and tender nature, the same fair and beautiful complexion, and the same delicate and frail appearance.
Emperor Kangxi really liked it!
I've been going to Yonghe Temple even more often now.
Soon, Uya became pregnant again.
Sherry looked at the cold medicine that had been handed in through a winding path, thought for a moment, and decided to return it to its rightful owner in a few years.
The young palace maid continued to work, but for the first time, Shirley sent a message to her maternal family to investigate the servants in the Imperial Household Department who were embezzling funds.
On the fourth day of the twelfth month of the same year, Consort Wanliuha gave birth to Yin Tao.
In the 25th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1686), Consort De and Lady Zhangjia gave birth to a daughter and a son, respectively.
Consort De was angry, resentful, and helpless.
Since she had no son of her own, she could only hold onto Yinxiang tightly.
By this time, Sherry had grown into a beautiful young woman.
Because Gaowa was younger than her, Xue Li always took her out to play.
The two seemed to have no interest in the palace, living a carefree and unrestrained life.
Emperor Kangxi enjoyed inviting her to meals and chats after a while.
They just don't let people stay overnight.
Of course, no one went to her side to criticize her.
Sherry was still taking care of Gaowa and her little lamb.
Gao Wa's family also sent her some gifts, and Xue Li gave her some beautiful clothes.
Yes, there are also a few sets of matching outfits.
Different colors, same flower pattern.
Gao Wa liked it very much, and Xue Li also found it very interesting.
In the 26th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1687), the Kangxi Emperor planned to take the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to Changchun Garden for summer retreat.
Sherry and Gao Wa were the obvious choices.
Gao Wa was also granted the title of Consort by imperial decree, and was known as Consort of Xianfu Palace.
At this time, the new favorite concubines in the harem were Lady Zhangjia and Lady Yuan.
While tidying up, Shirley returned the medicine that had been sent to her palace a few years ago to its rightful owner.
Interestingly, the Crown Prince's wet nurse, Lingpu, was also in the Imperial Household Department. When Suo'etu discovered the activities of the bondservant families within the Imperial Household Department, he didn't expose them but instead extorted money from them.
For the first time, Sherry realized that those who play politics are truly wicked!
Suo'etu also sent her some manpower and embezzled money.
Shirley told Lian'er to take the money and leave the palace to establish an orphanage. She said she would provide a dowry for whoever Lian'er wanted to marry.
That day, Lian'er silently looked at Xue Li for a long time, and finally, with tears in her eyes and a smile, she kowtowed three times.
"This servant thanks Your Highness for granting my request. This servant will certainly do my best. If I find someone I love, Your Highness must help me make an informed decision!"
"good!"
A few days later, Shirley set off for Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat.
Sherry took Gaowa out for fun every day.
One day, while boating on the lake, he saw Emperor Kangxi listening to a beautiful young woman playing the pipa in a pavilion.
Sherry was lounging on the boat, legs crossed, looking relaxed and carefree.
Following Liang Jiugong's gaze, Kangxi turned around and saw Xue Li's fair legs and swaying little feet.
Kangxi suddenly stood up and looked around. The eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him did not dare to raise their heads and knelt on the ground.
The beautiful young woman playing the pipa was so frightened that she trembled.
Gao Wa hid in the cabin and urged the little eunuch to row faster.
Sherry looked surprised: "What's the rush? Listen to a little tune~ What a pity, we're missing a pot of wine!"
As Shirley was speaking, the pipa music suddenly stopped, and Shirley sat up and looked around.
Then I saw Kangxi's dark and gloomy face.
Sherry: Tsk, what a dark aura on the face of an emperor!
A certain system: Your forehead looks dark!
Sherry: Hehe, I don't have a forehead, hahaha~
System: I'm speechless.
Sherry had won the argument and was feeling smug when she saw Kangxi suddenly wave his hand.
Then the small boat followed him.
Sherry waved at Kangxi, gritting her teeth as she said, "Little Zhuozi, where are you paddling?!"
The eunuch rowing the boat looked bitter and resentful. He didn't want to either, but did he dare?
Gao Wa came out listlessly, not in much spirits, holding a lotus flower in her hand.
Sherry patted her skirt and let the maid help her put on her embroidered shoes.
Then he went ashore, entered the pavilion, and bowed to Emperor Kangxi, greeting him with "May Your Majesty be well."
"May Your Majesty be blessed," Gao Wa murmured.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes and sized up Xue Li.
Sherry looked at his slightly narrowed eyes and raised her chin slightly: "What? Is Your Majesty so captivated by my natural beauty?"
Emperor Kangxi suddenly laughed: "Zahari, you shameless bastard, you deserve a beating!"
Sherry pouted and didn't say anything.
Then Kangxi arranged for someone to deliver fresh fruit to the two of them before leaving.
That evening, while Shirley and Gao Wa were lying in rocking chairs in the courtyard telling ghost stories, someone from the Imperial Household Department arrived.
Sherry's eyes flickered.
Just a moment ago, Gao Wa was trembling with fear, but as soon as she heard that the Emperor was coming, she immediately became energetic and left.
Shirley watched Gao Wa's hurried figure and the palace servants behind her, who seemed to be running around like headless flies.
I was stunned for a moment.
I only realized what was happening when I was being held down in the bathtub by Peony and given all sorts of bathing and skincare treatments.
Kangxi, you're going to stop being human!
Sherry suddenly had a mischievous urge and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
Emperor Kangxi was worried that she wouldn't be in good spirits, so he even brought her some wine.
The two men drank wine and composed poems under the moon. Perhaps it was because the moonlight was so beautiful, but Kangxi suddenly became a little flirtatious.
The poem was recited more and more distorted, increasingly conjuring up all sorts of thoughts.
He probably really thought she was illiterate. Who did he underestimate? This great demon is a big shot in the world of erotic art!
When Kangxi pounced on her, Shirley still remembered her mischievous idea.
Just as Shirley was about to do something naughty, Kangxi silenced her with a kiss.
The veins on Kangxi's forehead throbbed, and he was speechless when he met Xue Li's drunken, hazy eyes.
Finally, they punished him for the daytime offense as well.
Sherry was overjoyed to finally embrace the dragon's aura after so long.
His mouth kept babbling on and on, making Kangxi's forehead veins throb.
"Shut up!"
As Kangxi rebuked her, Shirley burst into tears.
Kangxi was even more confused, while Shirley was very satisfied. The dragon energy she had plundered made her feel that all these years had been worth it.
I was originally planning to let him go today.
But after Kangxi finished tidying up, he gently stroked her face by the moonlight and called out, "Ai Lanzhu."
Ai Lanzhu was the given name of Empress Xiaocheng, meaning "golden girl".
Sherry was almost asleep when Kangxi made her laugh.
Then, pretending to be woken up, he tackled the person to the ground again.
Before Kangxi could react, Sherry had already started acting impulsively.
"The afterglow of the setting sun reflects the evening glow, and weary birds return to their nests, circling the branches of the trees."
Searching for home across mountains and rivers, my journey is filled with dust and grime.
A dream in the woods drifts away on the wind, while joyful songs on the branches accompany the moonlight.
Do not say there is no way back home, for peace of mind is home.
Sherry's smile was sly, and Kangxi, whether out of anger or embarrassment, seemed a little shy and timid.
Sherry has had enough fun, so let's move on to the next activity.
Kangxi grabbed her slender waist and slapped her hard on her round buttocks.
