Wanwan sat down at the table and started eating immediately, quickly yet elegantly. Kangxi also ate.

In the past, people would taste the food first before eating it, but Wanwan never had anyone serve her. She would eat whatever she wanted and didn't have as many rules as the emperor.

So Wanwan usually eats by herself, and during the time Kangxi spent with Wanwan, he went from being unaccustomed to it at first to being able to skillfully pick up food for himself.

The main thing is that Wanwan had previously said that it was too troublesome for Kangxi to eat like this, so she said that she would test the poison for Kangxi herself. Wanwan would always start eating first and then give the food to Kangxi after she finished eating. Now, he eats his own food, which can be considered an improvement.

After dinner today, because I was wearing my pajamas and it was already quite late, I didn't go out for a walk, but went straight to my dorm to rest.

While eating, Wanwan used her superpower to feel a little better, otherwise her whole body would have been exhausted.

………………………………………………………

Since Wanwan had just been promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, Emperor Kangxi naturally had to spend the evening with her, otherwise it would be a slap in the face to Wanwan.

Exhausted, Wanwan lay down immediately upon getting into bed. However, she was certain that something would happen tonight, as it could be considered Kangxi and Wanwan's wedding night. Wanwan's promotion to Imperial Noble Consort was on par with that of the Empress.

In Kangxi's eyes, Wanwan was his wife. However, fearing that he would bring misfortune to his wife, Kangxi did not dare to make Wanwan his empress. Nevertheless, the ceremony for promoting her to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort was the same as the ceremony for establishing an empress. In Kangxi's mind, this was a kind of compensation for Wanwan.

Today, Wanwan is wearing a bright red nightgown. It's very thin because Wanwan can't stand the heat, so all of Wanwan's clothes, including her nightgown, are made of breathable material.

After Kangxi also got into bed, seeing Wanwan's extraordinary appearance, he did not immediately pounce on her.

Instead, he chose to talk to Wanwan, whose position in Kangxi's heart had become increasingly important in recent years.

Wanwan slept on the inside, and Kangxi slept on the outside. Except for the first day or two after entering the palace, Wanwan never helped Kangxi get up. She herself didn't get enough sleep, so how could you expect Wanwan to get up and serve others?

In the past, after Kangxi and his other concubines finished their business, they would each cover themselves with a quilt, and the concubines would be sent away.

The Empress never shared a quilt with Emperor Kangxi.

However, Emperor Kangxi had made so many exceptions for Wanwan that he stopped caring.

Kangxi touched Wanwan's hand and they intertwined their fingers. He then touched Wanwan's hand with his other hand. Kangxi felt the smooth, white skin beneath his hand, took Wanwan's hand, and kissed it.

Emperor Kangxi said, "My dear, you are finally my wife."

"Are you happy, Qingqing?"

Wanwan also grasped Kangxi's hand with one hand, "I'm happy. Today, Qingqing has finally become Xuan Ye's wife. Of course I'm happy."

Kangxi turned his head to look at Wanwan, and for some reason, he wanted to tell her everything that had happened in the past.

After a pause, Kangxi spoke.

Emperor Kangxi asked, "My dear, when was the first time I saw you?"

Wanwan naturally knew that Kangxi had actually met her when she was a child.

Wanwan: "Wasn't it when I first entered the palace?"

Wanwan said, "I only saw Xuan Ye when I first entered the palace... I don't think I've seen him before." She paused to think for a moment.

Emperor Kangxi replied, "You haven't seen me, but I have seen you many times."

Wanwan turned her head to look at Kangxi, "Then Xuan Ye must have run into me when I went out with my brothers, right?"

Kangxi said, "Not only that, but you also encountered it when you were alone."

Wanwan: "When I used to go out alone, I would dress up as a man (wearing a hat so my hair would have nowhere to hide), and I would also bind my chest. At most, I would just look a little more handsome, right?"

Kangxi turned his head back to look at the top of the canopy bed and said to Wanwan, "I first met you at Fengming Tower. I went out of the palace to find Mr. Wu, and later saw that Fengming Tower was bustling with activity, so I went to join in the fun."

"It just so happened that I was in the room next to yours and your third brother's. I opened the door and saw you at a glance through the swaying curtain. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were a beautiful woman."

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle, "What man looks like you?"

Kangxi now finds it amusing to recall the first time he saw Wanwan, 'She probably only thought she could fool others by disguising herself as a man, that man was even more fair-skinned than a woman.'

Emperor Kangxi said, "Although you are dressed as a man, I can tell at a glance that you are a woman."

"Since then, I have visited Fengming Tower almost every time I leave the palace. Sometimes I run into you, sometimes I don't, and I've also encountered you in other places."

"If I meet you, I'll look at you; if I don't, I'll listen to the stories you make up."

"Later, I learned some more from your elder brother through subtle questioning."

"But you were young then, so I didn't think anything of it."

Kangxi paused here, but continued.

"As you grew up, I watched you become more and more beautiful and charming. I... felt reluctant to let you go. So, before you even reached the age of marriage, I issued an edict to bring you into the palace."

Wanwan said, "I thought Xuan Ye brought me into the palace to..." to balance the harem. Although Wanwan didn't finish her sentence, Kangxi understood.

Wanwan continued to play dumb, pretending not to understand. (?▽?)

Kangxi replied, "No, no, I never intended for you to balance the harem."

Emperor Kangxi said, "I only let you into the palace because... because... I like you."

Emperor Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and finally spoke.

Wanwan was also taken aback, "I never expected Kangxi to say such a thing."
