"Your Majesty, propriety must not be disregarded."
"..."
Xiu Ning, with her arm around Kangxi's, led the two of them from the doorway into the inner room.
While uttering polite words, Xiu Ning felt a chill in her heart, sensing that something was amiss.
Why would the Emperor choose this time to come to his Qixiang Palace?
"My beloved consort, I have come here today to discuss the marriage of Bu'er and Dai."
In front of Xiuning, Kangxi revealed the purpose of his visit.
marriage?
Xiu Ning's expression shifted, and her tone revealed obvious anxiety, "Has something happened to Lady Fucha?"
The imperial decree for the marriage has been issued, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bu'er and Dai will leave the palace to marry next March.
At this point, the fact that Kangxi was still able to come to her door about the marriage of Bu'er and Dai meant that Xiu Ning could only think that something had happened to the Fucha clan outside the palace.
Kangxi was taken aback by Xiuning's question. He smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with Fucha. I just feel guilty for not telling my beloved concubine in the palace when I arranged the marriage between Buer and Dai."
In his last sentence, Kangxi's words of lamentation made it seem as if he had completely wronged Xiuning.
Xiuning's imagination ran wild. She reached out and gently touched the back of Kangxi's hand. "Your Majesty is the father of Bulhedai. Although I was not present at the time, with Your Majesty there, Bulhedai would certainly not have been wronged."
No matter what tricks Kangxi played, Xiuning would always praise him for his love of offspring.
Anyway, she's quite single, since she wasn't even present when the marriage was arranged.
Kangxi grasped Xiuning's hand in return, thinking to himself that after all these years, Xiuning was still as beautiful and charming as ever, her whole body like a ripe peach. Even after many days apart, Kangxi could still be easily captivated by Xiuning.
Why
The Imperial Concubine's charm remains as captivating as ever.
Emperor Kangxi sighed inwardly and decided to stay overnight at Qixiang Palace.
Having been emperor for so many years, Kangxi would never compromise himself in this regard.
They can do whatever they want, they're completely free to do as they please.
"My beloved consort, what you've said makes it difficult for me to say anything more."
After exchanging a few words with Xiuning in a joking manner, Kangxi did not let go of her wrist. He continued to stroke it, and at the same time, he thoughtfully mentioned that the marriage between Buer and Dai might have to be brought forward.
in advance?
Why?
He asked the question as soon as he thought of it, "Your Majesty, it's not too late to postpone it until March next year."
Emperor Kangxi patted Xiu Ning's hand reassuringly, "There's been a problem with the direct line of the Fucha clan. I'm worried that if we postpone it until next year, it will have to be postponed again."
The wedding can only be postponed if there's someone heavy enough to cause a car accident.
Is one of the elders of the Fucha clan about to pass away due to health issues?
Xiu Ning thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "If Your Majesty says so, then I have no objection."
"Boer and Dai are not young anymore; whether they marry early or late is not a problem."
Anyway, the person she married was in the capital, which was much better than Ningchuge, who was far away in Horqin.
Emperor Kangxi nodded in agreement. "That's what I think too. There are quite a few princess residences in the capital."
"When the time comes, Bu'er and Dai choose a house, and I will then issue an edict allowing the young couple to move out. That would be excellent."
As for having Bu'er and Dai condescend to live in the Fucha family's home, this was something neither Kangxi nor Xiuning had ever considered.
After all, this was already considered a princess marrying down, and if they were to continue to wrong Bu'er and Dai in other ways, no one dared to speak up.
The two of them finalized the matter of Bu'er and Dai getting married ahead of schedule in just a few words.
The date is set for November of this year, about four months earlier than expected.
There are no problems with Xiuning's situation. The only troublesome thing is the Imperial Household Department. They definitely need to hurry up and prepare things, including her dowry.
However, these were all things that Xiu Ning could handle. Kangxi waved his hand and told Xiu Ning not to be stingy in these areas. If she needed anything, she could go directly to Li Dequan and take things from his private treasury.
The reasons included making amends, and also the fact that Bu'er and Dai were Xiu Ning's daughters after all. Even though Kangxi was a scoundrel, he still had genuine feelings for Bu'er and Dai.
Xiu Ning raised her beautiful eyes slightly, smiled charmingly, and walked to Kangxi's side to express her gratitude.
Her voice was alluring and captivating, causing Kangxi to unconsciously feel half of his body go numb.
Hmm, it seems the schedule for Qixiang Palace can be adjusted again in the future.
Emperor Kangxi realized that the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" was perfectly applicable to Consort Jing.
"Your Majesty~"
Despite her age, Xiu Ning, who looks young enough, shamelessly acted coquettishly.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed swayed by this. It should be noted that the other concubines who entered the palace at the same time as Xiuning had long since stopped serving the emperor, but Xiuning was the only exception. No matter how old she was, Emperor Kangxi still loved and doted on her.
"My beloved concubine"
The deep, husky voice struck Xiu Ning's eardrums, making her eyes sparkle with spring and her gaze become like starlight.
"It's getting late, let's go sit in the inner room."
After saying that, Xiuning was led forward by Kangxi.
The two disappeared behind the screen, one after the other, leaving only lingering fragrance in the spot.
In the distance, candles were lit in a dimly lit room.
The candlelight was dim, illuminating only one area, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere that evoked a variety of emotions.
Behind the screen, Xiu Ning's cheeks were flushed, her arms wrapped around Kangxi's neck, and she quietly nestled in his arms, whispering softly.
It's amazing how this happened. Normally, Xiuning wouldn't have been able to do such a thing, but Kangxi had a pot of strong liquor brought out, and the two of them drank some of it together. Kangxi was fine, but Xiuning herself got drunk.
