Kangxi got up before daybreak.

Shen Jiang couldn't sleep any longer, so he got up and said politely, "I will serve my master."

Kangxi glanced at the red marks on her fair shoulders and said, "No need, you should take a good rest."

How could Shen Jiang really dare to rest? This is the Palace of Heavenly Purity!

Kangxi was very filial and would get up early to pay his respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. However, the gates of the six palaces in the east and west had not yet opened, so Shen Jiang could only wait here.

By the time the palace gates opened, Kangxi had already gone about his business, and he only asked the Advisory Office to send two young eunuchs to take her back to Yongshou Palace.

After returning to Yongshou Palace, I went to pay my respects to the Queen first.

After another long kneeling, Aunt Ruyi whispered a reminder, and then Niuhulu asked bitterly, "How is the master I served yesterday?"

Shen Jiang gritted her teeth. How should she answer this? You have to ask Kangxi whether it's good or not!

Seeing that she didn't answer, Niuhulu didn't force her and said, "You have worked hard. You can rest today. You don't need to come over to serve me."

Shen Jiang knew that Niuhulu didn't want to see her. Before yesterday, the Queen sincerely hoped that she would be favored; after today, the Queen was sincerely on guard against her.

In short, it’s hard to be a slave!

Shen Jiang kowtowed and went back to his room to lie down.

System: "What does this Lao Kang mean? Are you denying your responsibility just because you put on your pants?"

Shen Jiang: "Whose brand am I that deserves his attention?"

Kangxi was a hardworking and career-oriented emperor. It was impossible for him to think about women all day. He must be busy with military and national affairs at this moment. When he was done, maybe he would think of me.

Shen Jiang thought with self-mockery.

In the afternoon, the eunuch under the consultant's office came to Yongshou Palace with two eunuchs. The two eunuchs held some brocade and a black lacquered plate in their hands. The plate was covered with red velvet, and on the red velvet were several pairs of exquisite hairpins.

As soon as the group stood in the courtyard of Yongshou Palace, Niuhulu understood that the master served by Uya yesterday was very good!

"The Emperor said that the maidservant Ma Yan who is by the Empress' side should first choose a residence in Yongshou Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will give her a place according to the share of a princess, and then she can choose another palace to live in later."

Niuhulu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is thoughtful, but it is not necessary. Since Ma Yan is someone close to me, it is cheaper for her to live in Yongshou Palace."

She asked Shen Jiang to come out to receive the reward and express her gratitude, and sent all the eunuchs away. Niu Hulu said, "Serve the master attentively, and your good days are ahead!"

Of course not, she is the one who laughs last.

Shen Jiang did not show any pride, but was even more respectful than before, and said politely: "I thank the Queen for her kindness. I will never forget the Queen's great kindness."

Niuhulu nodded with satisfaction and asked Aunt Ruyi to take her downstairs to choose a place to live.

Shen Jiang didn't want to live in the front hall and offend her, so she chose the east side hall in the back hall. Aunt Ruyi assigned two young palace maids to serve her and said earnestly: "I know you will not stop here in the future. This is all your good fortune."

Shen Jiang looked at her and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your good words, aunt."

There was already a difference in status between her and Aunt Ruyi, so she could be servile to the queen, but there was no need for her to be even more humble to other palace maids.

Sometimes, when you are short, others will step on your spine.

Aunt Ruyi naturally noticed the subtle change in her expression. She froze for a moment and thought of many things to say. In the end, she only said one sentence: "Just don't forget the Queen's kindness in supporting you."

Shen Jiang said sincerely: "Aunt, you can rest assured. As long as the queen is alive, I will be loyal to her and will never go against my words!"

She was playing a trick by saying that the queen only had one day left, but in fact the queen didn't have much time left.

But Aunt Ruyi didn't know. After hearing this, she thought Shen Jiang would be loyal to the Queen wholeheartedly, so she dispelled her unhappiness and returned to Nianhulu.

Shen Jiang rested in her room for a day. When she looked in the mirror, she asked, "System, I found something strange."

System: "Host, do you have any questions?"

Shen Jiang: "The original owner was a palace maid, so her skin shouldn't be this good, right? Why do I feel like it's different now than when I first came here?"

The system laughed proudly: "I have said it before, the products of this system must be top-notch! When you came here, you merged with the original owner, and brought the beauty pills and other products you used before with you!"

Shen Jiang suddenly realized: "This also has a follow-up effect!"

The system was so proud that if it were materialized now, it would be a repair dog wagging its tail wildly.

Shen Jiang didn't ask any more questions after getting the answer, but this time the system got upset and asked her, "Why don't you ask about the situation in your previous plane?"

Shen Jiang said calmly: "I am an excellent employee with a strong sense of professional ethics. Since my memory has been cleared, I will not ask any more questions."

System: “…Okay!”

When a person loses his curiosity, what is the fun in life?

Shen Jiang: My pleasure is to get promoted and get a raise. Once the task is completed, I will become a manager!

That afternoon, Kangxi did not summon Shen Jiang to serve in the Qianqing Palace. Although he was energetic, he did not need to do that every night.

This is human nature, but Niuhulu did not think so.

"Why didn't the emperor summon Malan to accompany him today? Could it be that Malan didn't serve him well yesterday?" Niuhulu began to become suspicious again.

Aunt Ruyi quickly comforted her: "The master must be busy with government affairs, so he didn't summon Malun. Seeing that the master gave Malun a position and reward today, it can be seen that he is not displeased with Malun."

Niuhulu twisted the handkerchief in her hand and frowned, saying, "I hope Ma Yan can be favored by the emperor, receive more favors, and give birth to a child as soon as possible!"

Aunt Ruyi looked at her face, which was slightly sallow, and her nose felt sore. She said, "Master, please relax. Your health is the most important thing!"

Niuhulu pressed her handkerchief against her chest and said, "I know my health is important. No matter what, I can't let that bitch in Jingren Palace have the last laugh!"

Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace sneezed, and the palace maid beside her quickly handed her a hand warmer.

The imperial concubine has been in poor health since she was young. It was only September, but charcoal and hand warmers were already being used in the house.

Concubine Tong smiled softly and said, "I'm fine. I just heard that the emperor favored a maid from Yongshou Palace yesterday?"

Her personal maid Songge said, "The emperor is very tight-lipped, so I didn't find out. But the scene at Yongshou Palace is so grand, it's hard not to know."

Concubine Tong was still smiling and asked, "What rank did the emperor give me?"

Songge said: "What other position can it be? She has just gained favor, so she must be a princess."

Concubine Tong smiled coldly and said, "That's not necessarily true. Some people were promoted to concubines not long after they were favored! No wonder the one in Yongshou Palace resorted to such despicable means."

She said that the person who was to be conferred the title of concubine was naturally Guo Luoluo. It seemed that the unreasonable favoritism of the Guo Luoluo sisters had indeed touched the nerves of many people.
