Although Wanwan asked Tingyu and Tingfeng for their opinions, she already had her own ideas.
Just as Tingyu said, if Kangxi comes again tonight, she will advise him to go to another palace.
Furthermore, based on Wanwan's understanding, Kangxi was somewhat rebellious. The more you forbid him from doing something, the more he would do it; but if you asked him to do something, he might not necessarily do it.
It's very possible that this is just a very simple thing, but the more you forbid him from doing it, the more he will do it, but there's nothing wrong with doing it.
It's like the saying goes: 100 pounds of weight, 99 pounds of rebellious spirit.
So this is also part of Wanwan's plan. All she has to do is tell Kangxi tonight that in order to prevent rumors from spreading in the harem, she should persuade Kangxi to stay overnight in another palace.
Although Emperor Kangxi would be displeased, Wanwan had her own solutions. As long as she brought up Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, everything would be easily resolved.
Emperor Kangxi would naturally not refute Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang now, since he also respected her greatly.
But after Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, there was no one left in the harem who could control him.
Someone like Wanwan, who he cherishes, is very likely to be more favored and valued than she is now.
It's like a candied hawthorn skewer that you really wanted to eat before, but your family wouldn't let you. When you grow up and are able to, you'll definitely eat that candied hawthorn skewer, even if it doesn't taste like anything special.
This can be considered a kind of obsession in my heart!
So as long as she does well now, once Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is gone, no one in the entire harem will be able to control her.
As for the Empress Dowager, she was merely a figurehead. She did not concern herself with the affairs of the inner palace. Although Emperor Kangxi respected her, he would not listen to her.
Wanwan: "Alright, that's settled. I know what to do."
Wanwan said, “Tonight I will try to persuade His Majesty to go to other palaces, but His Majesty will definitely not leave Jingren Palace tonight. It should be starting tomorrow. I think His Majesty should spread his favors evenly and linger in the harem.”
Listening to the rain, she said, "Your Majesty, you are right to think this way. No matter who it is, they cannot get past you."
No one knew that Wanwan treated Kangxi as family, but not as a lover, except herself. Not even her trusted palace maids, Tingyu and Tingfeng, knew it.
So, when Tingyu said those words, he was admonishing himself.
Wanwan said, “I know you don’t need to persuade me. In this harem, no one can ever be the sole favorite, and even if someone is, the end result is not good.”
Hearing her mistress say this, Tingyu felt a little embarrassed, as she did indeed mean to advise her mistress.
After all, the Emperor was very good to the Empress. Whenever he had any rare or unusual items, he would send them all to Jingren Palace. She also usually stayed at Jingren Palace the longest.
Her main concern was that her empress might fall for him. The emperor was too good to her, and after all, she was a woman too. If she fell for him, it wouldn't be good.
When the Empress gets older, to put it bluntly, when she's past her prime and her beauty has faded.
If the Emperor doesn't treat her as well as he does now, she might feel disappointed and unable to accept it, and in that case, it would be her own mother who suffers.

night
Jingren Palace
As usual, after Kangxi and Wanwan had some exercise, Wanwan nestled in Kangxi's arms.
However, Kangxi sensed that Wanwan was different tonight than usual. She was more proactive in responding to him and cooperating with him, and seemed to be more enthusiastic.
Of course, Emperor Kangxi's experience was even more perfect and comfortable.
After it was over, it didn't happen quietly like usual.
Emperor Kangxi noticed this and naturally asked about it.
Kangxi asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter? You're usually so noisy and critical of me, why are you so quiet today? Did someone upset you?"
Wanwan looked up at Kangxi, then shrank back into his arms.
Emperor Kangxi raised his hand and stroked Wanwan's head.
Wanwan's hair was like silk, and it felt very comfortable to touch, so Kangxi would do this every time after they finished.
He then stroked Wanwan's back, finding it pleasant to touch her smooth skin, which was a rare and delightful experience.
So after they finished, the two of them would hug each other naked.
How could Emperor Kangxi possibly pass up such a benefit?
Within a short while, Kangxi felt water droplets on his chest and knew that Wanwan was crying. He looked down at Wanwan, who was sobbing and looked very aggrieved.
The examiner was somewhat surprised. As an Imperial Noble Consort, no one should have wronged Wanwan. Besides, nothing major should have happened in the palace that could make Wanwan cry.
Kangxi gently coaxed her, "What's wrong? Tell me, if anyone dares to wrong you, I will definitely not let them off the hook."
Originally, Wanwan had managed to control the rumors in the harem very well, but since everyone in the harem was united, the rumors never stopped.
However, they dared not gossip to Emperor Kangxi. Moreover, Emperor Kangxi had always trusted Wanwan to manage the harem and did not care much about it, so they really did not know what had happened.
Wanwan: "No one made me feel wronged. It's just... it's just... I feel wronged myself."
Kangxi asked, "Has something happened?"
After sobbing a few times, Wanwan looked up at Kangxi with teary eyes and said, "Today, Tingyu told us... that now everyone in the harem is saying that I... have... monopolized... Your Majesty, and... that I won't let you go to other people's palaces. I'm not doing a good job as the head of the harem."
Wanwan said, "And they went even further, saying that what I did was to prevent the Aisin Gioro family from having more descendants, and that my intentions were despicable."
Seeing that Kangxi's expression was not good, Wanwan added fuel to the fire, "She also said that I am clearly an Imperial Noble Consort, but I am like the Empress, not a normal person, but a monster."
Wanwan “seduced and bewitched Your Majesty…”
Although Wanwan didn't say what followed, Kangxi knew it would definitely be very excessive.
Emperor Kangxi was furious and shouted, "How dare you! I am the Emperor, who can control me?"
Kangxi continued, "They are talking utter nonsense."
Kangxi said, "Besides, if you are a demon, then what am I, a tyrant?"
Upon hearing this, Wanwan immediately stopped Kangxi from saying anything else, saying, "Xuanye, what nonsense are you talking about? You are clearly a wise ruler."
Wanwan said, "It wasn't a big deal to begin with. It's just that I've gained some favor as an Imperial Noble Consort. But when they say things like that, it makes me seem like a demon."
Kangxi said, "When those rumors started, you should have made an example of them by killing those who were spreading such nonsense."
Wanwan: "I have punished some, but I didn't kill them. Most of them were sent to the Shenxing Division and the Xinzheku."
Wanwan said: Watch an ad and show your support!
