Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 264 Kangxi Concubine Ping 1

In October of the 19th year of the Kangxi reign, the Forbidden City had begun to get colder, and the voice of a little palace maid was heard from a side hall of the Chuxiu Palace.

"Gege, it's time to take your medicine."

When Wu Lingzhu heard Chunying's words, she came back to her senses from her daze. She didn't expect to return to this place, the Forbidden City that she hated so much.

"Put the medicine down first. I'll drink it later."

"Yes, Grid."

Wu Lingzhu, perhaps her obsession was too deep, so she came back again.

She was the concubine sister of Emperor Kangxi's first empress, Empress Hesheli. She entered the palace in the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign when she was only ten years old. She died in the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. During this period, she gave birth to a son, but her son died at the hands of someone left behind by her sister, the first empress, whom she had never met. The crown prince acquiesced, and Emperor Kangxi remained silent when he found out. She tried her best to take revenge, but in the end she died.

When Kangxi conferred a title upon her posthumously, he only added the character "Ping" to the title.

Her first life was just as ordinary as the title bestowed upon her by Emperor Kangxi.

After her death, she did not go to hell. She came back to life hundreds of years later as a baby who should have died. She liked her second life very much, but an accident sent her back to the Forbidden City.

In this case, she just regarded it as God sending her back to avenge her.

After figuring this out, Wu Lingzhu picked up the medicine and drank it all in one gulp without using a spoon. Chunying beside him hurriedly said, "Princess, have a piece of candied fruit to sweeten your mouth."

As she spoke, she brought over a plate of candied fruit.

Wu Lingzhu then remembered that she was very afraid of bitterness when she was young. When she grew up, she ate too many bitter things. In the two years before her death in her first life, she was accompanied by bitter soup every day.

She picked up a piece of preserves and ate it.

"This preserves is great. You've worked hard taking care of me these past two days."

"Serving the master is not hard for the servant."

Chunying was someone she brought in from outside the palace. She was loyal to her, but she passed away early, and she would never see her again in this life.

"Haru Ying, I'm sleepy."

"Princess, go to sleep. I will keep watch over you."

Wu Lingzhu closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, after waking up, she heard a noisy sound outside. Wu Lingzhu said, "Chun Ying, what's that noise outside?"

"My dear Princess, the Queen Mother heard that you were ill and sent a reward to you."

"Have the Emperor and the Empress Dowager sent anyone?"

"No."

"Where is Yuqing Palace?"

"The prince didn't send anyone either."

Wu Lingzhu smiled and said: "Forget it, maybe the prince doesn't know about it!"

"Princess~" Chunying felt unfair for her master.

As the empress's sister, even if she was a concubine's sister, her background was such that she could be the wife of a royal prince. But she entered the deep palace at such a young age. The emperor placed her in the Chuxiu Palace and did not give her any position. He treated her very perfunctorily.

It would be fine if it was the emperor, but the master entered the palace more because of the prince. The Hesheli family was afraid that the prince would be influenced by the concubines in the harem because of the death of his mother, so they sent the master into the palace.

To some extent, she entered the palace just for the prince.

The master is sick, but the prince has never sent anyone to inquire about him. What does this mean?

Wu Lingzhu was not surprised. The prince was not much younger than her, and the children in the palace were already sensible at this age. However, the people left behind by Empress Hesheli might not want her to be close to the prince.

Under the influence of the people around him, the prince himself viewed her as his aunt even less than a servant he could use. In his eyes, she was just a tool who served him wholeheartedly.

How could he have any affection for a tool?

As for the inaction of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, she was not surprised. It was the decision of the Hesheli family to send her into the palace. She was only ten years old. Although Kangxi agreed, he might not feel comfortable.

He was the emperor, and if he felt a little uncomfortable, he could openly ignore her existence.

"With the Queen Mother's reward, at least my life won't be so difficult. When I recover from my illness, I will go to the Queen Mother in person to thank her."

She is only ten years old. Although she has the intention, she is too young and needs to develop quickly. The Queen Mother is an old lady who doesn't care about important matters. She gets close to her and acts like a junior who is dependent on her. At least she wants to gain the reputation of being filial.

She doesn't need the Queen Mother to help her. She just needs her to be willing to pity her a little. That will be enough for her for now.

To some extent, the Queen Mother was an easy-going person, and she didn't mind the concubines in the harem taking advantage of her power. Of course, the premise was that they didn't disturb her leisurely life.

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

After she recovered from her illness, she felt as if she had put off a heavy burden and suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable. She wore a headband she had embroidered herself and went to the Queen Mother to express her gratitude.

In Shoukang Palace, someone came in to report: "Empress Dowager, Princess Chuxiu wants to see you. She said she came to express her gratitude."

The Queen Mother nodded: "I remember that girl is only ten years old this year. It's hard for her. Let her come in."

"Yes, ma'am."

The Queen Mother gave Wu Lingzhu a reward.

Firstly, it was to express her stance. When Wu Lingzhu entered the palace, no matter whether she was a tool or not, she always carried the name of Hesheli, represented Hesheli family, and was also the prince.

The Empress Dowager didn't care much about the harem. Even if she knew she was sick, sending people to send rewards would be too much of an honor for her. It would be just right for the Empress Dowager to send a small reward.

Secondly, the Queen Mother thought of her past self, when she left the grassland at a young age, entered the palace alone, and never had freedom again.

After hearing what the nanny said, Wu Lingzhu took Chunying into the main hall of Shoukang Palace.

"Wu Lingzhu pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and longevity."

Wu Lingzhu spoke Mongolian. Everyone in the palace knew that the empress dowager could not speak Manchu or Chinese, but no one could say for sure whether she really could not speak it.

However, because of the Empress Dowager's knowledge and taste, Kangxi was indeed more filial to her, his late-born legitimate mother.

The Queen Mother said cheerfully: "Hurry up, you speak Mongolian well."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Wu Lingzhu could feel that the Queen Mother at least didn't hate her.

In her modern life, she lived a happy life and was very good at pleasing her elders. In addition, she was still young, sensible, and a bit naive, but not too simple, so the Queen Mother fell in love with her.

The Queen Mother understood her situation and knew that she came here to seek refuge, so what she did was natural and appropriate, and the Queen Mother knew what was going on.

When Wu Lingzhu left, the Queen Mother said: "When you have time, come to visit me more often. There are not many concubines in the harem who can speak Mongolian."

Wu Lingzhu said with a look of surprise: "Yes, Wu Lingzhu will definitely come often. Just don't find me annoying when the time comes."

Although there were not many concubines in the harem who could speak Mongolian, there were some. The empress dowager's words really gave her face.

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, Wu Lingzhu had a little more smile on his face.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road, Chunying said excitedly: "Gege speaks Mongolian really well. Although I don't understand, the Queen Mother seems to be chatting happily. With the Queen Mother's protection, our life will not be too difficult."

Wu Lingzhu paused. She had learned Mongolian before entering the palace in her first life, but her learning was just average as she was only ten years old. She learned Mongolian through hard work later.

"The Queen Mother is kind-hearted, and I have nothing else to do. I will copy some more Buddhist scriptures and pray for her.

"Yes, Grid."
