Kangxi drank the tribute Biluo spring tea, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, the palace maid Xiaowan served Kangxi to lie down and was getting up to leave. Who knew that Kangxi said: "Xiao Wan, you stay and sleep." Xiao Wan's hand was grabbed by Kangxi, and she was very nervous.
In the long history of China, the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty is widely regarded as a golden age of national strength and cultural prosperity. Kangxi, the third son of Emperor Shunzhi, was one of the most prominent monarchs in the history of the Qing Dynasty. His reign both inherited the exploits of his ancestors and created new glories. Under his leadership, the Qing Dynasty expanded its territory, prospered economically, harmoniously maintained ethnic relations, and reached unprecedented heights in culture and art. Emperor Kangxi won the reputation of "the rule of the sage" with his profound wisdom and firm decision-making.
However, in addition to his political achievements, the private life of Emperor Kangxi was equally fascinating. In his harem, there are three thousand beauties, each with its own characteristics. These concubines were not only his companions, but also influenced the course of government and history to a certain extent. Among them, a palace maid named Xiao Wan, although her status was humble, became the focus of Emperor Kangxi's attention for a period of time. Her story, though only a minor episode in court history, reflects the complex interpersonal relationships and power struggles in the deep palace.
According to the records of "Qing Historical Manuscripts, Biography I, and Concubines", Xiao Wanyuan was an ordinary palace maid with a humble status, but the turn of fate brought her into the sight of Emperor Kangxi. In the strict hierarchy of the Qing court, it was an unusual thing for an ordinary court maid to be able to attract the attention of the emperor.
The story takes place on a silent night. After dealing with the heavy affairs of the court, Emperor Kangxi tasted the newly paid Biluochun in Jiangnan in order to refresh his mind. This tea has a rich aroma and an endless aftertaste, but it also makes him so excited that he can't sleep. In the middle of the night in the palace, Emperor Kangxi was lying in the dormitory, and everything in front of him seemed very clear. On nights like these, his mind flew and he couldn't settle down.
That night, Xiao Wan, as the palace maid on duty, was responsible for the bed. In the deep palace, the lives of the ladies were strictly regulated, and their duty was to serve the emperor's daily life. Xiao Wan, with a delicate appearance and a gentle personality, although not as gorgeous as the harem beauties, has his own unique charm. When she saw that the emperor had trouble sleeping, she plucked up the courage to persuade him to rest early. Emperor Kangxi looked at Xiao Wan and suddenly had strange feelings, so he asked her to stay and sleep.
Xiao Wan was nervous and excited, this kind of situation is not common in the palace, but it is not completely absent. For them, the palace maid's bed is both an opportunity and a challenge. Xiao Wan knew that this could change her life
