Wanwan said, "So, it seems that Your Majesty has agreed to my idea."

Emperor Kangxi sighed, "You've put so much thought into their affairs, wouldn't it be unfair of me not to agree?"

Wanwan said, "Isn't this all for your benefit? It shows that you care about them, and it also lets the court officials see how you treat your meritorious officials."

Wanwan said, "Isn't this good? Plus, taking advantage of this victory to promote their ranks, it's like the court and the harem can enjoy themselves together."

Emperor Kangxi said, "You're right."

Wanwan continued massaging Kangxi's arm, "So, who do you plan to promote?"

Kangxi thought about it for a while and had a general idea in mind, but he was too busy with affairs of the previous dynasty to have much time to consider this issue.

So he said to Wanwan, "You are the Imperial Noble Consort, and you were the one who proposed this matter. You can draft their ranks and titles. If I think they are appropriate, then so be it."

Kangxi said, "Besides, I also believe you will do a good job."

Wanwan guessed that Kangxi would entrust this matter to her. Over the years in the harem, Wanwan had performed impeccably.

Wanwan: "Alright, since you put it that way, I'll think about it seriously. I know we've just won a victory and the court is quite busy. I'll share your burdens in the harem."

Kangxi grasped Wanwan's hand and said, "I'm truly convinced by you."

Upon hearing this, Wanwan replied, "Then you must cherish this good fortune."

Kangxi smiled and said, "Good, I will make the most of it."

With that, he forcefully pulled Wanwan into the bathtub as well.

Wanwan: "Ah...ah..."

Wanwan was still a little shaken; anyone would be startled if suddenly thrown into the water.

Wanwan: "What are you doing? You scared me!"

Kangxi, however, gripped Wanwan's waist tightly with his hand, "Didn't you tell me to cherish this good fortune?"

As he spoke, Kangxi placed his hand on Wanwan's lower back, and with a gentle pull, Wanwan fell into his arms.

Kangxi leaned close to Wanwan's ear and said, "I will now make the most of this good fortune."

next day

Jingren Palace

Today is the first day of the lunar month, which also happens to be the day to pay respects to Wanwan.

Tingfeng said, "This servant greets all the ladies and concubines. The Imperial Noble Consort is still getting ready and will be there shortly. Please wait a moment."

Consort Hui said, "It's alright, there's nothing to do anyway, and I can even sit and chat with the other sisters for a while."

Consort Rong said, “Consort Hui is right. Your Majesty, please take your time with your washing and grooming. We concubines are not in a hurry.”

Other influential people often agreed, and we quickly echoed their sentiments.

Listening to the wind, "Listening to the frost and snow, I serve tea to all the ladies and concubines."

Tingfeng bowed to the concubines and then withdrew, saying, "This servant will take her leave now."

The other concubines chatted, and what they talked about was nothing more than the Emperor's favor, or discovering some beautiful cosmetics, or jewelry.

………………………

"The Imperial Noble Consort has arrived."

The concubines rose and said, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to the Imperial Noble Consort. May the Imperial Noble Consort enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

Wanwan sat down on the phoenix chair and raised her hand, "Get up, everyone."

"Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort."

Everyone took their seats, with Consort Hui at the top left and Consort Rong at the top right.

They sat down in order of rank.

PS: To be honest, I've had some difficulty writing these past two days. First, my thinking wasn't very clear, and second, the data wasn't very good.

Although the author has been consistently writing, the Jishishan earthquake also affected the author's home. The author lives next to Jishishan, and although not in the epicenter, the area was still frequently affected by the tremors. Last night at four o'clock, the earthquake struck again, and the tremors were quite strong, waking me up with a pounding heart. (?_?)

There were aftershocks on the night of the 18th, the night of the 19th, and again at 4 a.m. this morning.

In addition, the soil in the location of the author's house is not very good, it is quite loose, so he was quite worried. He was afraid that if the earthquake waves were a little strong, there would be problems, and he didn't sleep very well at night.

I haven't been in a good state of mind to write these past two days.
