To put it so bluntly, if you don't speak up, even if the Emperor deems you useless, he'll still kill you...
The old wardens were trembling with fear.
"Alright, step down. Today's news..." Kangxi had long been mentally prepared after several years; after all, he knew how strong he was!
"This servant was merely inquiring about His Majesty's health. His Majesty is in excellent health and full of vigor!" The old man was overjoyed, as if he had been granted a pardon.
"Alright, step down!" Kangxi glanced at the withered old man and narrowed his eyes.
Finally, the order was given that more people were assigned to each prince's side!
They also studied how to improve the age of marriage and childbearing for men and women.
Sherry: I didn't prescribe the wrong medicine. I can have children, it's just that the probability is low!
System: You clearly caused someone to lose their offspring!
Sherry: What do you mean? Didn't I still give birth?
A certain system: Perhaps it's because the more eager you are to have a child, the more diligent you are in trying, the lower your success rate becomes?
Sherry: Yes, yes, yes, soup and porridge are different, it's not my fault! I only realized you're quite talented today! Tongzi!
System: Hmph, what haven't I seen! (But I've never seen a demon this stupid.)
Initially, Emperor Kangxi did not promote her to a higher rank, but only bestowed upon her a title.
Sherry didn't think anything of it; she felt that she was quite special, in a word!
As a result, fewer and fewer people came to see Emperor Kangxi.
Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, Sherry felt that she was still as stunning as ever!
What's wrong? Does Emperor Kangxi want to try some different kinds of congee and side dishes?
System: Your Majesty, is it possible that he's wary of you? If you weren't incredibly stupid, you'd probably be dead.
Sherry looked depressed.
"Why? Does he know I drugged him?"
A system: You have three sons.
"So, you're afraid I'll influence the Crown Prince?" Shirley laughed sarcastically. "That's not right. Historically, Consort Wenxi also gave birth to a son, so wouldn't her social standing be even higher?"
A certain system: If he can arrange one Mongolian wife, can he arrange three?
Sherry: Heh~
System: Your Majesty, don't be sad~
"What's there for me, a cold-blooded animal, to be sad about? I'm thinking about how to kill him without affecting the course of world development!"
A certain system: I almost forgot this is a powerful demon.
"It's alright, let's wait and see. We'll talk about it when our son grows up!" Sherry was much calmer.
Shirley didn't take it seriously and spent her days cuddling and kissing her sons.
I must say, Chengjing is mature and sensible at such a young age, and she gives me a great sense of security.
Chengheng is not talkative, but just like Xue Li, he speaks bluntly and is also unpopular.
Cheng Qiong is as soft and gentle as a little sun, a pure and warm-hearted man.
Sydney is so busy playing with the kids that she's gone crazy...
On one occasion, during a greeting, Consort Yi subtly criticized her while praising her, which she didn't understand. However, she knew it wasn't anything nice, since several concubines were secretly laughing behind their handkerchiefs!
In a fit of anger, Shirley went straight to the Qianqing Palace, hugged Emperor Kangxi, and tearfully complained.
He talked and touched her, which somehow managed to arouse Kangxi's anger.
Then she patted her bottom and left, saying, "The Emperor only sees the new concubine's smile, but not the old one's tears! Humph!"
Kangxi: ……⊙▽⊙
"Liang Jiugong, go and see what exactly happened!" Kangxi said, taking a sip of tea, a nameless anger still rising in his heart.
Just think about how silly Consort Chunxi was; she didn't have the brains to make up stories.
"Liang Jiugong, convey my imperial edict: Consort Yi has disrespected her superior position. She is hereby confined for three months and ordered to copy the palace rules ten times!"
"Yes, sir!"
Kangxi thought about it and realized that his pear had been wronged. No wonder, huh~
Afterwards, Liang Jiugong sent Xue Li various fresh fruits, food, and jade!
The concubines who had just returned from paying their respects were all dumbfounded.
Consort Yi was so shocked she couldn't react. Just a few words of banter, and the Emperor had actually confined her to her quarters?!
The concubines who were flattering her behind her were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away.
Consort Yi was naturally proud. She was granted the title of Consort without having any children, making her the number one in the harem!
This slap today clearly tells her that in front of the Emperor, she is no different from them.
In the evening, Kangxi went to Changchun Palace!
Sherry looked at him leisurely and recited:
"The fragrance of lotus fades, the jade mat grows cool in autumn. I lightly loosen my silk robe and board the orchid boat alone. Who sends a brocade letter from the clouds? When the wild geese return, the moon is full over the western tower. Flowers drift and fall, water flows on. One kind of longing, two places of idle sorrow. This feeling cannot be dispelled; it just moves from my brow to my heart."
Kangxi almost burst out laughing; he knew perfectly well that she had spent the entire afternoon memorizing "A Spray of Plum Blossoms".
Kangxi tried to keep a straight face, and coughed with his fist to his lips.
Sherry was just getting into a bad mood when she saw the smile in his eyes and she exploded with anger.
"You, you, you! I'm so angry and you're still laughing! This is a sad poem!" Sherry was so frustrated that she felt like her tongue was tied in knots.
"Hahahahaha..." Kangxi burst into laughter, embracing Xue Li and kissing her repeatedly.
He even felt he was being dramatic, not visiting her for so long.
Kangxi gently coaxed her, and Xue Li pouted with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Alright, don't be angry, I've avenged you!"
"Hmph, she's making fun of me for having three sons but not being as favored as her! Isn't that right?!" Sherry said fiercely, her eyes brimming with tears and her cheeks puffed out.
Kangxi couldn't resist holding her and gently stroking her back.
It was she who brazenly asked these questions!
"Liang Jiugong, convey my imperial decree: Consort Yi has shown disrespect to her superior; she is hereby demoted to the rank of Consort!" Kangxi said, while gently coaxing her in his arms, "Are you still angry?!"
"Will you demote me like this in the future?" Sherry's eyes widened.
"What?" Kangxi's eyes were unreadable.
"Let's go to bed. I'm going to drain Your Majesty dry. It's been a long time since Your Majesty has come, and I'm a little unsatisfied—" Kangxi kissed him.
He couldn't expect her to say anything serious.
Green willows brush against the face, spring is in full bloom; small bridges span flowing water, and houses stand in harmony.
Peach blossoms bloom red as fire, filling the sky with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, bringing endless joy.
"Darling, you're so tough! You're a real tough guy!"
"Hmm~ And what about you?"
"I am your slender waist fairy~ and peach fairy~"
"Yes, I love tiny waists!"
So Sherry learned it; she wasn't good at writing, but she was good at drawing.
She looked at the fire-avoidance diagram and drew the two of them on it. The figures were blurry, but the artistic conception was very good.
Sherry considered herself a genius and would send letters to Emperor Kangxi every few days.
When Emperor Kangxi received the letter for the first time, he was quite happy.
Upon opening it, he found erotic pictures. He immediately panicked, like a teenager, as if afraid that others would see them.
She blushed so deeply that her face turned as red as a shrimp, and glanced at Liang Jiugong a few times, which startled him.
But I was secretly very happy, so I went that night.
Sherry found a new hobby and then sought out a court painter to learn painting.
The key point is that the system was really exciting to watch.
It used to be all pixelated, so I wasn't curious at first, but after seeing so many pixelated images, I became incredibly curious.
Seeing its host create something now is enough to fuel its imagination.
