"I dare not!" Cheng Jia said, her face full of resentment.
They were all so outspoken that they'd forgotten where they were.
"Ha! Is that so? Guards, seize the servants in Princess Tang's courtyard and find out which commoner or slave dared to implicate the imperial heir!"
Sherry spoke with absolute certainty, and sat with an elegant posture.
Tang's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she stared blankly at Xue Li.
Cheng Jia shuddered violently, her face stiffening and barely able to smile.
"Your Highness, no! That's my personal maid!" Madam Tang realized what was happening and hurriedly knelt down.
"Oh? Why is Sister Tang in such a hurry, slandering the imperial heir and the crown princess with baseless accusations? I must prove my innocence, mustn't I?"
Sherry lifted her chin, looking at her with the gaze of someone looking down at an ant.
"Or was it all Tang's honest opinion just now? Was it all Tang's own idea?" Xue Li's red lips curved slightly, her smile sweet and gentle, like a poppy flower laced with poison.
After more than a year of frolicking around, Tang suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Soon, various messages came in.
Sherry watched leisurely and lazily yawned.
"The Tang family has no regard for rank, disrespects the Crown Princess, and slanders the imperial heirs! Thirty strokes of the cane will teach them a lesson. The execution can proceed immediately, right here in the garden! My sisters, please accompany me. You all have a good relationship, and if you wish to share the burden, I am not unwilling to accommodate you!"
As Sherry spoke, she swept her gaze over the women in the backyard one by one.
It's really strange. In her past life, she liked beautiful women, and in this life, she only likes the crazy version of Guarjia.
Keep your distance from the women in your backyard.
She preferred Yinxiang, who was like a boiled egg.
It looks pure white on the outside, but is entirely yellow on the inside, creating an extreme contrast.
Yinzhi is also good; he's like a mango from afar, yellow inside and out.
“Since Sister Cheng is not at ease with the meal, then go and ask the Master for help! Sister Cheng has neither the favor of the Emperor nor the ability to bear children, so it is very difficult for me to handle this! Since you are dissatisfied, go and ask the Master to stand up for you! The same goes for the other sisters!”
"This humble servant dares not!" everyone said in unison.
"This concubine, this concubine dares not!" Cheng Jia was trembling like a leaf. She had been in Yuqing Palace for many years, and this was the first time she had seen the Crown Princess like this.
He was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale, and he swayed as if he were about to collapse!
Tang had already been gagged and dragged away.
Sherry leisurely returned to her bedchamber, and her spirit saw Tang Shi's terrified expression.
And the women in the backyard looked like quails.
Well, she's usually too lazy to bother with things, but when she suddenly goes crazy, everyone gets terrified.
On the path leading from the front yard to the small garden, Hong Yan's "flower of life" has already blossomed.
Sherry is so thoughtful; she will definitely not let him die in Yuqing Palace!
The aroma of the food served at dinner was delightful. When the Crown Prince returned and heard the whole story, he didn't inquire further.
Mrs. Tang was completely disheartened!
Cheng Jia and Liu were so frightened that they developed high fevers that night.
Upon hearing about the events at Yuqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi went to Consort Tong's residence that evening.
The next day, Shirley received a gift from Emperor Kangxi and a greeting from Consort Tong.
The twins stayed in the Qianqing Palace with Emperor Kangxi. One diligently recited his lessons, while the other climbed onto Kangxi's lap and plucked his beard.
Emperor Kangxi was very happy.
Yuqing Palace fell silent.
At the same time, in April of the 43rd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1704), Isaac Newton's book "Opticks" was published, which is an important work in the field of physics.
On the morning of April 24 of the same year, the first continuously published newspaper in American history was printed at the Green Printing House on Newbury Street. It was named the Boston News Letter, which was of great significance to the development of the news media industry.
Sherry was wondering whether she should arrange for someone to go abroad for exchange and learning.
However, judging from the cultural development during the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government attached a certain degree of importance to astronomy and physics.
Western physics knowledge had been spreading in China since the late Ming Dynasty, and this trend continued into the Qing Dynasty.
For example, Dai Zhen, a scholar during the Kangxi era, wrote a work on Archimedes' principle, while missionaries such as Ferdinand Verbiest also wrote books introducing Western optical knowledge, such as "Illustrated Explanation of Qi" and "Deduction of Form and Nature".
These books had a certain impact on the Chinese physics community and inspired some scholars to conduct research on optics.
Historically, during the late Qing Dynasty, missionary Hers and Chinese scholars compiled the physics textbook "An Outline of Optics".
This book not only covers the main contents of optics before the unification of photoelectricity and electricity, but also introduces more than 300 kinds of optical instruments. It is one of the earliest books to introduce the characteristics and uses of light to China.
The book is characterized by its emphasis on experiments and its connection to real life, providing rich content and methods for teaching at the time.
After thinking about it, Sherry felt it was still necessary to save the information for her studies.
I was thinking of lying down, but considering the future, I'll arrange for someone to start learning!
What if a groundbreaking talent emerges?
After paying her respects to the Empress Dowager one day, Shirley went to the Qianqing Palace.
I mentioned it to Emperor Kangxi.
The way Kangxi looked at her was intriguing.
Sherry remained calm, awaiting Kangxi's decision.
Kangxi didn't speak, but took some books and handed them to Shirley.
Sherry glanced at it and found that Emperor Kangxi had all the Western books and had read them all.
But what's the use?
He doesn't do research.
Sherry glanced at him twice and then continued to look at Kangxi.
Kangxi paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "What you've said, I have!"
"...Father, you're so busy with state affairs, you don't have time to study this!"
Sherry was quite blunt.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes but did not reply.
Sherry felt that perhaps he now held great power and did not want to disrupt the rare peace.
"Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me. I shall take my leave!"
Sherry suddenly smiled, bowed, and withdrew.
Emperor Kangxi's lips moved for a long time, but he said nothing.
Sherry returned to Yuqing Palace and continued to lie down.
The children all went to the study.
But less than two days later, while a group of imperial grandsons were laughing and playing, Hongyan suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
The servants were so frightened that chaos ensued.
The imperial grandsons pulled at people and pressed their philtrums, waiting for the old imperial physician to arrive.
In the midst of everyone's panic, Hong Yan bit his tongue and suffocated to death!
The princes were both shocked and frightened, and the servants were terrified.
"Brother! Brother!" Hongxi cried out in anguish, pulling at Hongyan and shaking his head.
The princes were also surprised when they received the news. Kangxi was dealing with state affairs at the time, and upon receiving the news, he led everyone to the scene.
Sherry also dressed in simple casual clothes and rushed to the study.
"Your Majesty and Crown Prince, our youngest grandson has a congenital weakness. Although his body has become much stronger now, he still cannot play and run around like a normal child. He needs to rest quietly every day, and changes in the weather can also have an impact, therefore..."
