Kangxi then took his daughter and left without responding to Yang Ni's words, leaving Yang Ni alone on the spot, feeling rather awkward.
Yang Ni looked around to make sure no one was there before angrily heading back to her room.
What she didn't know was that what she thought was no one was actually no one; Kangxi's secret guards were watching from the shadows! These guards were responsible for protecting Kangxi's safety every day, and this was the first time they had ever seen a woman like Yang Ni.
In the past, there were certainly some restless maids around Emperor Kangxi who wanted to climb into his bed, but none of them were as shameless as Yang Ni.
They just went straight up there, and what they said didn't make any sense.
Yang Ni went back to her room and didn't dare to come out again until evening. She only came out to eat when no one was around.
The next day, before dawn, Yang Ni heard a loud commotion outside. Thinking that the person was about to leave, she was still unwilling to give up, so she got up, dressed, and went out of the house.
Yang Ni looked around and was disappointed to see no one.
At this time, Kangxi and Youqing were still inside the room! The people who came out to pack things were Liang Jiugong and some servants. It would be a miracle if she could see Kangxi.
When Liang Jiugong saw Yang Ni, he said politely, "Miss Yang, you're up so early."
Yang Ni replied absentmindedly, "Yeah, I couldn't sleep, so I got up a little early."
Upon hearing this, Liang Jiugong couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It was still early, yet he couldn't sleep. He must be missing someone. Yesterday, Yang Ni took advantage of the fact that no one was around to talk to Kangxi. Although Liang Jiugong wasn't there, he knew about it afterwards.
This girl still hasn't given up.
Liang Jiugong was also puzzled. Putting everything else aside, this girl had seen the Empress's temperament and appearance before. How could His Majesty's empress, with such a proper appearance and demeanor, possibly be interested in such a country bumpkin who couldn't even be considered a simple dish?
In his opinion, this Miss Yang is far too lacking in self-awareness.
Ordinary palace maids wouldn't dream such fantasies. You should know that in recent years, the only palace maids who have truly risen to prominence are the deceased Consort De and Consort Liang, who has already requested to leave the palace.
Their looks are far superior to Yang Ni's.
Then Liang Jiugong said with a rather meaningful tone, "A young lady needs to sleep more to grow up beautiful. Miss Yang's family is well-off, but she's not the type to enjoy life!"
What does that mean?
Isn't she pretty?
That's right, that's what Liang Jiugong meant.
He was just a lackey, relying solely on Kangxi. Whoever Kangxi liked, he liked too. Yang Ni couldn't see her place, so he gave her a reminder.
Yang Ni left in a huff.
After they had finished tidying up, Kangxi and Youqing got up, ate breakfast, said goodbye to the Yang family, and left.
After seeing Kangxi and his entourage off, Mo Chunhua suddenly said, "I haven't seen the little girl since early this morning. I wonder where she went."
Yang Erzhu muttered, "Maybe she hasn't gotten up yet. Your daughter usually gets up late."
Mo Chunhua sighed, "This lazy girl, I'll deal with her later." Even so, she didn't wake her daughter up. It wasn't late, and she could let her daughter sleep a little longer.
Yang Erzhu didn't respond. In their family, Mo Chunhua was the one who doted on her daughter the most, so he just listened to what she said and let it go.
Just outside the village, Kangxi's carriage was stopped by someone, none other than Yang Ni.
She barely slept all night, still unwilling to give up, so early in the morning she left the village and waited at the crossroads before leaving. It wasn't the busy farming season, and most of the villagers were at home eating at this time, so no one came out.
"Your Majesty, Miss Yang has stopped the carriage."
Kangxi couldn't immediately recall who the Miss Yang Liang Jiugong was referring to was: "Who?"
"She stayed at the Yang family's house last night; she's their daughter."
Kangxi remembered and frowned, saying, "Just send them away."
“Zha”
Liang Jiugong got off the carriage, walked up to Yang Ni, and said, "Miss Yang, we are in a hurry to get on our way, so please do us a favor."
Yang Ni had mentally prepared herself greatly before coming to stop the carriage today. She knew it was a bit shameless, but she still wanted to try. She considered herself to be quite good-looking, so how could she give up?
Therefore, they naturally wouldn't listen to Liang Jiugong and move aside.
"I want to see your master."
Liang Jiugong's face was already very ugly. This girl doesn't understand what I'm saying, does she?
"It was my master who sent me to tell the young lady to leave."
"impossible!!"
Liang Jiugong thought this girl probably wasn't very bright, and he didn't know where she got her confidence from, thinking that every man should treat her differently.
“Miss Yang, whatever your intentions, you should know that no shameful young lady would do what you did today. Have you seen the maids serving our mistress? Do you think you can compare to them? I have a piece of advice for you: people should be more realistic.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Ni stood there stunned. She was conflicted. She knew she couldn't compare to that lady, but she had received preferential treatment in the village for a long time. Because of her good looks, men her age treated her "specially".
This "special" feeling didn't make her look up at people with her head held high, but deep down she still felt that every man would treat her somewhat differently.
The area was small, and Yang Ni was surrounded by her neighbors. Naturally, the young men praised her as an angel.
Liang Jiugong's words were practically a direct insult to Yang Ni, telling her she wasn't pretty and that she was ugly.
This was hard for Yang Ni to accept. Yesterday, Kangxi's words were rather subtle, but Liang Jiugong's were much more direct.
Seeing Yang Ni standing there without any intention of leaving, Liang Jiugong was already furious. He had never encountered anyone like this before, and she was quite shameless!
At this moment, Chengying and Sangzhu came over.
"Our master sent us to ask why it's still not ready."
Liang Jiugong curled his lip: "This Miss Yang doesn't want to leave, why don't you two ladies help her out?"
Although he was a eunuch, no one in the village knew that, and it wouldn't look good if he really got involved with Yang Ni.
Cheng Ying nodded: "I'll do it!"
Cheng Ying used to be a secret guard, so dealing with a young lady was naturally a piece of cake for him.
After saying that, Cheng Ying dragged Yang Ni from the middle of the road and pulled her towards the village. This place was far from the village, and in order to prevent any accidents, Cheng Ying decided to send her back directly.
They didn't encounter many people along the way, mainly because the Yang family's house was located at the village entrance, where it was indeed unlikely to run into anyone at that time.
Yang Ni struggled along the way, wanting to shout, but not daring to shout loudly, for fear of ruining her reputation.
When they arrived at the Yang family's house, Yang Erzhu and Mo Chunhua were tidying up the courtyard. They were a little confused when they saw their daughter and the maid from the wealthy family who had just left.
Mo Chunhua asked directly, "Nizi, didn't you not get up yet? Why are you back from outside?"
