Wanwan said, "So what? Nobody knows anyway. Why don't you secretly wear it for me to see?" Wanwan's words were full of sarcasm.
Emperor Kangxi was so angry he was speechless. (┯_┯)
Emperor Kangxi: I won't stoop to the level of a young woman.
With the help of palace maids and eunuchs, the two of them took off their heavy court robes and auspicious ornaments.
Wanwan felt "finally relieved." The moment her clothes were taken off, Wanwan seemed to come alive.
Ignoring Kangxi, Wanwan lay down on the bed.
After undressing, Kangxi sat down on the edge of the bed. Over the years, the two had grown increasingly close and comfortable with each other, much like an old married couple who had been together for a long time.
Emperor Kangxi said, "Seeing how tired you are, would you like me to give you a massage?"
Wanwan replied, "Great! I couldn't be happier." Judging from Wanwan's tone, Kangxi had done this more than once or twice.
Upon hearing Wanwan's reply, Kangxi took action.
You know what, the Kangxi massage was actually quite comfortable. After many, many experiments, we now have a lot of experience with it.
Kangxi: "How is it? Is my strength up to par?"
Wanwan didn't say anything, but instead extended her right hand and gave a thumbs up.
Emperor Kangxi said, "Of all the people in the world who dare to let me serve them, there is only one: you." Of course, Emperor Kangxi didn't actually say that, though he himself had never massaged her back.
Emperor Kangxi's massage skills were quite good. After all, he was a martial artist, so his strength was considerable, and he also had a certain understanding of acupoints.
It's much simpler to do then.
Wanwan said with a hint of excitement, "I received so many gifts today, especially from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. They are all very precious."
Wanwan said, "It was also given by many concubines in the harem, as well as by the older princes."
Wanwan continued, "The most important part was also given by the ladies of the palace. Those high-ranking officials of the first, second, and third ranks must have been really rich."
Wanwan said, "The gifts from the primary wives of the imperial family were also quite generous."
Although Emperor Kangxi did not know exactly how much he had given away, he could guess that this child could be considered half a legitimate son.
Apart from the Crown Prince, Yinyu's status was slightly higher than that of the other princes, so it was normal for the gifts from the imperial clan to be very generous.
Kangxi said, "That's perfect, it'll make you, you little money-grubber, happy too."
Wanwan turned around, took Kangxi's hand, and started walking along with his support.
Wanwan: "Of course, but the one who sent the most gifts was Emperor Xuan Ye."
Wanwan said, "What you gave to Yinyu is almost half of what they gave him."
Wanwan: "So the person I'm most grateful to is you."
Wanwan said, "Although I like money, I acquire it in a proper way. Considering how many things you gave Xiao Liu today, feel free to make any requests you have, and I will fulfill them all if I can."
In recent years, Emperor Kangxi has also taken many good things from Wanwan, especially imported items such as pocket watches.
That was a rare item; even now, there is still a huge Western clock in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.
On occasions such as Emperor Kangxi's birthday or festivals, Wanwan would send him some unusual but not very valuable gifts.
As for valuable items, Kangxi certainly didn't lack any. After all, who could be richer than him, the ruler of a country?
However, Wanwan is quite an exception here; she is indeed richer than Emperor Kangxi.
Sometimes it's a jade pendant carved from the finest white jade, and sometimes it's a calming incense blended by Wanwan. Everything Wanwan makes is a product of the system and is guaranteed to be of the highest quality.
Emperor Kangxi was extremely fond of it. Moreover, these past few years had been a period of suppressing the Three Feudatories, and I sometimes had very little time to sleep because I had to deal with memorials. So I couldn't sleep well, and at this time, the calming incense was very effective.
There was also the peach blossom wine that Wanwan made before. Once, when Wanwan's mother went to the palace, she brought Wanwan a jar of it. When Kangxi found out, Wanwan didn't leave a single drop and snatched it all away. Yes, she snatched it.
Moreover, it was a blatant act of robbery, which caused quite a stir at Jingren Palace at the time.
Fortunately, Wanwan handled the situation quickly and prevented others from finding out about what Kangxi had taken.
Sorry, I've gone off on a tangent again. Let's get back to the main topic.
Kangxi thought for a moment about what good things Wanwan had that he didn't know about, or what good things Wanwan had that he didn't yet have.
I thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
Over the past few years, I have indeed received a lot of good things from Wanwan, especially imported goods, which are very rare.
The imported goods brought back by Wanwan and her third brother's caravan were first given to Wanwan, and then Kangxi would take them with a legitimate excuse, and then give Wanwan some things he thought were good as compensation.
Kangxi glanced at Wanwan and said, "Speak, what other good things are there that I don't know about?"
Wanwan was speechless. Couldn't you tell I was just being polite? You actually made a request? Besides, haven't you already taken a share of all my good stuff? And you still ask me so openly.
Wanwan: "It seems there aren't any left. What else do you want? You've already taken one of the three fountain pens I brought with me when I entered the palace."
Wanwan said, "As for other imported goods, as soon as my third brother sends them to the palace, you come as soon as you smell them."
When Kangxi heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, but he thought to himself, "This is really not my fault. Your things are quite rare. As the ruler of the world, I should naturally include unique things in my possession."
But Kangxi dared not say this, fearing that something strange might happen in the future and Wanwan would hide it away by herself.
Kangxi thought for a moment and actually came up with an idea. Although he didn't know what the Wanyan family had given to the Sixth Prince today, he knew that the gifts must have been extremely rare.
However, she was too embarrassed to take her son's things, so she said tactfully, "What good things did the Wanyan family send to the palace today? Tell me."
Wanwan immediately understood what Kangxi was planning.
However, she wouldn't cooperate with Kangxi today and directly said, "What's the use of saying it? You can't get it anyway. Besides, it's a gift for your son. You can't just take your son's things away, can you?"
Kangxi: ………………………
Kangxi: How am I supposed to explain this? I can't exactly say that I meant it, can I? Although I didn't mean to steal it, I did mean to ask you to send another one (┯_┯)
I took medicine for a few days and thought my cold was almost gone, but I think I caught a chill last night while I was sleeping. I woke up this morning with a runny nose and constant sneezing. It's so uncomfortable! (?_?)
