Because Wanwan was in good health, and she had already taken a shower and washed her hair, her life was normal in the days that followed, and she did not experience the discomfort that is common during postpartum confinement.
Time flies, and soon it was time for her to finish her postpartum confinement, and the Sixth Prince also needed to hold a full-month celebration.
…………………………
Jingren Palace
A scene filled with laughter and joy.
Wanwan was dressed in a bright red auspicious robe, and wore a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin. It can only be said that although Wanwan was an Imperial Noble Consort, in Kangxi's eyes Wanwan was his Empress and his wife. So, although Wanwan did not have the title of Empress, she was treated the same as the Empress.
Today's full moon celebration is comparable to the Fifth Prince's full moon celebration before. The Fifth Prince's full moon celebration was mainly because he was a child kept by the Empress Dowager, which can be said to have almost eliminated his path to inheriting the throne.
Therefore, it was destined that the Fifth Prince would have a close relationship with the Mongols, which could also be seen as a way for Kangxi to appease the Empress Dowager and the Mongols.
The reason why the Sixth Prince's full moon celebration was so grand was because he was just Wanwan's child.
That makes sense. After all, it's a full moon celebration for a half-son of the legitimate heir. Surely no one would be so ungrateful as to cause trouble at the Sixth Prince's full moon celebration.
Wanwan has quite a lot of influence, as the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager arrived quite early today, and Emperor Kangxi arrived even earlier.
There were also the primary wives of high-ranking officials of the first, second, and third ranks, who were also noblewomen, as well as princesses of the imperial clan, and so on.
Wanwan and Kangxi couldn't hide their smiles, especially Kangxi, who had the sixth prince as his most anticipated child besides his legitimate son.
This is a very strange phenomenon. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty valued their legitimate sons and put a lot of effort into their upbringing. However, almost none of those who inherited the throne were legitimate sons, especially in the early period, when they were all sons of concubines.
Consort Hui held the highest rank among the imperial concubines in the harem.
She was naturally the first to offer her congratulations.
Consort Hui said, "Your Majesty, congratulations to the Empress Dowager, congratulations to the Empress Dowager, and congratulations to the Imperial Noble Consort. The Sixth Prince is truly handsome and adorable."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan's lips twitched, but she managed to control her expression well.
Yu Xue is adorable. If she were a princess, this would be perfect, but being a prince is a little... well...
Wanwan hugged the Sixth Prince and said, "Thank you for Consort Hui's praise."
Then she said to the Sixth Prince, "Did you hear that? Your Consort Hui praised you for being cute!"
Although Emperor Kangxi initially thought this child's appearance was too...delicate and cute, he loved his other children a thousand times over.
Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "Consort Hui is right, the Sixth Prince is indeed handsome and adorable."
After Consort Hui started, the other concubines followed suit, offering their congratulations to the four powerful figures in the harem.
After that comes the wives of noblewomen; it's quite a hassle all day long.
On this special day, Emperor Kangxi did not hug the Sixth Prince; normally, a hug in private is sufficient.
However, the Manchus believed in having sons but not grandsons. If he broke the rules in public, rumors would spread, and although he would suffer less harm, public opinion would definitely turn against Wanwan in Jingren Palace.
Then it would be said that Wanwan induced Kangxi to break the rules. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Kangxi kept his eyes on the Sixth Prince and did not reach out to hug him.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager treated Consort Wang Huan quite well, which can be seen from the gifts they gave her.
The gifts were all very valuable and meaningful, and it must be said that Wanwan had gotten along very well with the two powerful figures in the harem over the past few years.
In addition to the gold lock, jade pendant, and other valuables that the Empress Dowager gave to the Sixth Prince, she also gave some to Wanwan.
What was given to Wanwan were several phoenix hairpins—yes, you heard right, not just one, but several.
This also reflects the fact that the Empress Dowager recognized Wanwan as the invisible empress.
As for the Empress Dowager, although she always follows the Grand Empress Dowager, the gift she sent this time was also very meaningful.
Besides some Mongolian specialties, they gave the Sixth Prince a necklace covered in jewels. Wanwan knew at first glance that the necklace was very valuable.
Although Wanwan has seen many good things, no one can have too many good things.
Yinzhi, Yinreng, Yinzhi, and Xiao Si all sent gifts, as did other concubines. By the time the full moon banquet was held, the gifts sent were enough to fill a warehouse. In particular, Emperor Kangxi generously filled half a warehouse with his gifts.
……………………………
After it ended.
"I'm so tired," Wanwan said, asking the wet nurse to take the baby away.
Wanwan plopped down on the dressing table. "Tingyu Tingfeng, hurry up, quickly take all these things off my head. They're so heavy. My neck is about to break after a day of this."
On this special day, Emperor Kangxi would naturally stay overnight at Jingren Palace, as it was the full moon celebration for the Sixth Prince. To say that Kangxi went elsewhere would be to embarrass Wanwan.
The two were originally walking together, but after reaching Jingren Palace, Wanwan quickened her pace, with Kangxi following behind.
Naturally, everyone heard Wanwan's words, and at the same time, they felt somewhat helpless. He would hear these words almost every time after a major banquet.
Kangxi went in and asked the advisors to help him take off his clothes. He opened his arms and waited for others to serve him.
While complaining about Wanwan, he said, "The power and wealth that others would kill for have become a burden for you."
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Wang Wan replied without hesitation, "I love high positions, money, and power, but this day is truly exhausting."
"Wearing such high platform shoes, plus the headgear that must weigh over ten kilograms, and the clothes are even heavier, how can I not be tired? I also have to be proper all day long and can't lie down casually. It's already a good thing that my body isn't stiff."
As she spoke, she saw that Tingyu and Tingfeng had already removed her headdress, so she got up and told them to take off their clothes as well. It has to be said that it is really comfortable to be served by others.
However, life in the Qing Dynasty was still quite restrictive.
After standing up, Wanwan jokingly said to Kangxi, "Even if I don't say anything, Xuan Ye, just put on some platform shoes and walk a few steps. I won't make you stand all day. As long as you can walk a few steps, I'll think highly of you."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi immediately retorted, "How can an emperor wear women's flowerpot shoes? Where would he put his face?"
Kangxi said, "What nonsense are you spouting? You say all sorts of things. What would I look like wearing flowerpot shoes?"
The data has been getting worse these past few days. Are very few people looking at it?
Hey Baozi, can you say something?
Thanks!
