Life at Jiangxuexuan was peaceful.
The women in the harem were indeed curious about Youqing, this suddenly appearing concubine, but as curious as they were, none of them were truly foolish.
Not knowing Kangxi's attitude, no one wanted to be the first bird to stick its neck out.
But Emperor Kangxi remained silent.
Youqing didn't quite understand Kangxi's meaning. Just then, news came from Jingyang Palace that many people had died inside, and some had been cured. Those who couldn't be cured were wrapped in mats and taken out of the palace, while those who were cured stayed and returned to their original places to continue their duties. The epidemic was thus brought under control. As for the cause, the imperial physicians had not yet found out.
The epidemic came suddenly and it left suddenly.
And so, Youqing stayed in Jiangxue Pavilion for half a month. Everyone in the harem felt that His Majesty's arrangement for Youqing was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. Even Youqing herself suspected that Kangxi had placed her in Jiangxue Pavilion on a whim and had now forgotten about her.
Youqing felt that living a good life was the most important thing. Besides her, there were four other people in Jiangxuexuan.
Youqing couldn't help but ask the system, "Can you hypnotize Chengying and the others?"
The palace maids and eunuchs in the harem are all shrewd and intelligent. In the past, there were only Sangzhu and her in the back room of Jingyang Palace. If anything happened, it could be explained as "a fairy descending to earth". But Chengying was obviously not an ordinary palace maid. She couldn't explain why something happened to her for no reason!
The system replied, "The system cannot do that."
Youqing was very disappointed. There was a farm where she worked herself to the bone, but she could only sneak a little bit of what she grew at night.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
Youqing had just finished lunch and was lying in a rocking chair with two ice basins beside her, emitting wisps of cool air. She was comfortably dozing with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard the sound of whips cracking on the ground. She woke up with a start: "Sangzhu, what's going on?"
Sangzhu and Chengying came over. Sangzhu also looked bewildered. Chengying explained, "Your Highness, it must be His Majesty who has arrived."
Your Majesty?
Kangxi?
Youqing and Youqing looked at Chengying in surprise, and then remembered that there was indeed a rule that the emperor would whip the ground wherever he went.
Youqing quickly said, "Help me up."
This is Emperor Kangxi, a man who can hold her life and death in his hands. Perhaps it was the impression she got from the TV series "Kangxi XX" that made her think of Emperor Kangxi as a mature, steady, and dignified man. Thinking of this, Youqing trembled a little.
Before long, Youqing saw a rather young man enter surrounded by a group of people.
The young man at the head of the group must be Emperor Kangxi.
Youqing was stunned. Was Kangxi really that young?
Preconceived notions can be deadly!
Emperor Kangxi was 28 years old this year, and having lived a life of luxury, he naturally looked young.
As she approached, Youqing saw Kangxi's face clearly. Upon closer inspection, Kangxi looked much younger than she remembered. How should she describe his appearance?
Unlike the handsome men on modern screens, he has striking and well-proportioned features, sharp and spirited phoenix eyes, and a very energetic appearance, definitely not ordinary.
He even has a unique kind of handsomeness.
Youqing stared for so long that by the time she came to her senses, Kangxi had already walked right up to her.
Kangxi didn't notice anything different about the way Youqing looked at him; many women would be slightly lost in thought when they first met him.
Youqing quickly gave Kangxi a somewhat clumsy bow, but Kangxi didn't notice her awkwardness.
"This concubine greets Your Majesty."
Emperor Kangxi, looking displeased, said, "Get up."
As he spoke, he took Youqing's hand, for his purpose in coming here was once again...
Knowing that Youqing was in poor health, Kangxi came in person instead of summoning her to accompany him.
Youqing was startled by his sudden action. Her first love was still around. Although she had been working before she transmigrated, she was a rather homebody. Holding hands with a man wasn't a first for her, but Kangxi touching her hand right away still surprised her.
Kangxi was pleased, rather than Youqing.
He touched Youqing, but no ghost appeared before his eyes.
Emperor Kangxi was not only happy, but also excited.
This means he can finally touch women.
Just then, the system suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "Host, the part of the system that was lost is on him."
Upon hearing the system's words, Youqing couldn't help but show a surprised expression, while Kangxi simultaneously showed a look of astonishment and horror.
Emperor Kangxi also heard the sound.
He looked at Youqing, who looked surprised, and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Logically, only she should be able to hear the system's voice, so Youqing's heart sank. Then, the actress, in her body, looked at Kangxi with a blank expression: "Your Majesty, what sound did you say?"
Youqing's acting skills were clearly lacking; her bewildered appearance was full of flaws in Kangxi's eyes, as she was too nervous.
That's the emperor, the emperor who holds the power of life and death. How could she not be nervous?
Young male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry may be overshadowed and appear stiff when facing veteran actors playing emperors. However, even with her acting skills, which are enough to surpass those young actors and actresses, she still falls short when facing a real emperor.
Emperor Kangxi did not expose her feigned ignorance.
The fact that he could see ghosts was already full of doubts and extremely strange. He finally encountered a woman he could touch who didn't see ghosts, and there was also that mysterious voice. He had plenty of time to find the answers.
What he feared most was having no clues at all and blindly searching for an answer that might not yield any results. But now, he had a clue.
Kangxi suddenly smiled at Youqing and changed the subject: "Are you feeling better?"
The concern came very suddenly.
Youqing smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My health is weak, and I can only recover slowly."
