Chapter 156 Kangxi Pure Concubine 23
Chapter 156 Kangxi Pure Concubine 23
Is Kangxi short of money?
He is short of money! The war to suppress the Three Feudatories Rebellion lasted for many years, and it has not yet been completely quelled! War is the most expensive thing.
Can Wangshu’s idea make money?
Of course he can! He has many spies in Jiangnan, and he knows the situation in Jiangnan best. There are many wealthy businessmen there, and they spend money like water.
They pursue expensive and good things. Watches are still rare things. If they are produced by the royal family and appear on the market, they will naturally be highly sought after.
Kangxi asked craftsmen to study clocks and watches, more for the sake of face. As the Celestial Empire knew Western things, it was natural for them to know them and be proficient in them. Before that, he had never considered selling the clocks and watches.
Wangshu's sincerity made Kangxi think that it would be a good idea to arrange an emperor to sell watches. The Imperial Household Department would be in charge of it, and part of the money would go into the national treasury, part into the private treasury, and part would be given to Wangshu.
These were Kangxi's thoughts as he looked at the new clock after returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Qixiang Palace.
System: "I can't understand. The watch business is profitable. Why don't you do it yourself?"
Wangshu smiled: "What should I do? Let Dai Jiajia do it. Which simple concubine would be so scheming to benefit the family? System, you have to understand one thing. Sometimes, giving is gaining.
Kangxi has some feelings for me. If I give, I can get more. The beneficiary of this matter is definitely my cheap uncle. From now on, I won’t be short of money anymore.”
The system was not used to her strategizing: "Are you so sure that Kangxi will do what you want?"
Wangshu showed a playful expression: "Then wait and see!"
Of course she would affirm it!
Wangshu doesn’t know how to be an official or an emperor, but she understands men.
When a man has feelings for you, he will usually be very considerate to you. Even the most rational person, when faced with feelings, will follow your ideas as long as it does not affect his own interests.
What's more, Wangshu's idea was to give money to Kangxi, and he used "love" as an excuse.
Of course, she did this because she once filmed a TV series with a veteran actor who played the emperor and he once gave a monologue about the emperor.
He said that the emperor had an extreme desire for control. In essence, he longed to control everything. No matter how small the benefit was, you would only take it if he gave it to you. If he didn't give it to you, you would take it for yourself. This might be okay in the short term, but if you were discovered, it would be a big problem.
Wangshu discovered that Kangxi had a strong desire for control.
In that case, she would just be a "completely transparent" favorite concubine.
The eighteenth year of Kangxi's reign ended just like that.
Wangshu had only one feeling during this year: tired, very tired, because there were endless rituals to perform. To be honest, she felt that the rules of the Qing Dynasty were indeed too complicated.
What's the saying? The less you have, the more you value what you have.
The Manchu regime could not give up its own, and had to add on the original Han people's. The result of all this was triviality.
Fortunately, it was only a few days, so Wangshu could still bear it.
After the Chinese New Year, Wangshu's life was not too turbulent.
She has resumed paying her respects, and apart from hearing some sour remarks when she did, everything else is fine.
Time soon came to February. After surviving many dangers, Uya finally gave birth to a royal prince.
Wangshu got the news and asked someone to send a generous gift over. After all, the two of them seemed to have a good relationship.
"System, how could Wu Ya's pregnancy be difficult to deliver without any operation?"
Although the baby was born, I heard that Uya's body was injured and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
The favorite concubine who gave birth to three sons and three daughters in history has only given birth to the second one. Is this the end of her life?
"No one did anything. It seemed like she was upset and didn't take good care of the baby."
Wangshu suddenly realized: "I can understand it. If I hadn't come, she would have become Depin by now. Now she is still a concubine, so it's no wonder that she is depressed."
In the harem's competition for favor, the winner takes all. She was one step behind, so she had to admit defeat.
A few days later, the twelfth prince born to Nara died. Then Nara went crazy and ran to Chengqian Palace like a madman. She pulled Uya off the bed and beat her severely.
When the news came out, Wangshu, the planner, was stunned.
The twelfth prince died young, so Wangshu asked the system to help give Nara some clues about Uya's secret activities. Nara promised to give birth to two children. She was smart and used all her connections to investigate, and finally caught Uya's secret.
Nala agreed to hate Wangshu, but she could not afford to retaliate against Wangshu for fear of bringing trouble to the family.
Thinking that Uya had given birth to two sons and was a concubine, which was worse than her before, Nara Da Ying suddenly became smart for a moment and felt that Kangxi should know what Uya had done.
Thinking of this, filled with hatred, he went to Chengqian Palace without caring about anything and beat up Uya, who was still in confinement after giving birth.
Wangshu was naturally satisfied with the result.
But the consequences were quite serious and Kangxi was furious.
He knew that there would inevitably be conflicts in the harem, but to do so would be a slap in the face of Kangxi. His appearance of maintaining peace in the harem was now completely ruined by Nara's promise.
In Kangxi's heart, Uya was not innocent either.
Nara promised to be sent out of the palace to pray for blessings. If nothing unexpected happens, she will never have the chance to enter the palace again. As for Uya, not only did she not receive any compensation, she was also demoted to a promise. Her newly born sixth prince was given to Huipin to raise.
This time, Huipin got the better deal. Although the child is not very healthy, it is much better than the twelfth prince. The imperial physician said that if he is taken good care of, there will be no problem.
A prince with poor health is naturally a helper to her son.
Wu Ya, now that Wu Ya agreed, she was completely confused. No matter how well she could plan, she was still a girl in her twenties and had not yet achieved perfection in her cultivation!
Faced with the sudden demotion, coupled with the injury she suffered during her confinement, the imperial physician diagnosed that she could no longer serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber!
Wu Ya fainted directly.
She was unconscious for two whole days. When she woke up again, she reviewed the situation over and over again, and then she suddenly realized that the Emperor must have known about her plot to cause Wangshu to have a miscarriage.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"My lady, don't be discouraged. The emperor is just angry and is taking his anger out on you. When the emperor calms down, you have two princes here, and the emperor will not turn a blind eye to it no matter what."
The palace maid of Uya clan was arranged by the Uya family. She was naturally loyal and smart. She felt that things were not at the end of the road yet!
Wu Ya shook her head: "You don't understand. The emperor knows everything. He knows that I was the one who caused Concubine Chun to have a miscarriage. The emperor will not let me go."
Her maid was completely stunned, as she was unaware of this.
All the bad things done by Wu Ya were taken care of by Wu Ya Ma, who did not tell her maids.
"Little Master?!"
This palace maid was in a terrible state. She was favored by Concubine Chun, and everyone in the harem could see it. She had a miscarriage, and she was truly doomed.
The master and servant fell into despair and could not extricate themselves.
Wangshu naturally knew that as a "good friend", she could not remain indifferent.
So, Wangshu decided to go to Chengqian Palace to visit Uya.
After visiting Concubine Tong first, Wangshu entered the side hall where Uya lived. The side hall was small and not as spacious as the main hall. In addition, she had not been favored by the emperor for a long time, so although the furnishings in the room were nice, they were all old things.
Wangshu looked at Wuya with a worried look on his face: "Sister Wuya, I came to see you. The imperial physician said that you need to take good care of your body. I brought a lot of medicinal supplements given by the emperor. I heard from the nanny that confinement after childbirth cannot be taken lightly..."
Her tone was sincere and concerned, and she didn't even call herself "this lady".
