Kangxi: ………
Consort Hui: ………
The two remained silent, having nothing in common to say to each other.
It's nothing compared to the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of Jingren Palace, that's what Emperor Kangxi thought.
Consort Hui wanted to say something, but there was nothing to say in the harem except for Wanwan. But did she dare? She didn't.
Although Kangxi has been pulled out of Jingren Palace so far, no one dares to underestimate Wanwan. She has been favored since entering the palace, and for the first three months, she was the sole favorite.
Speaking of children, they spend most of their time in the Imperial Study, and the concubines don't have much contact with them.
Consort Hui couldn't say things like "The First Prince has grown taller again" like Consort Qi did. (?_?)
Emperor Kangxi also felt somewhat uneasy, and for a moment the room was quiet.
Somewhat awkward
⊙﹏⊙
In the end, it was Kangxi who said something.
Emperor Kangxi said, "Let's go to bed."
Consort Hui immediately responded, "Your Majesty, this concubine will serve you."
Consort Hui was also a little embarrassed; she didn't know what to say. Thankfully…
After getting into bed, Kangxi was a little disgusted. One second it was delicacies, the next it was plain food. Who could stand that?
After that, the two went to sleep, each with their own blanket.
It was very hasty, just finished haphazardly.
Sleeping is just right; it's not so "silent" and it can replenish my energy. Although I didn't waste any energy in Yanxi Palace, I wasted quite a bit in Jingren Palace over the three months there.
Consort Hui also sensed it, but there was nothing she could do. Her appearance was average, incomparable to that of the Imperial Noble Consort. The only thing she could say was that she was His Majesty's first woman.
That's the only point where Kangxi treated her slightly differently, but only a little.
Knowing that Emperor Kangxi didn't like drinking certain things, she quietly went to sleep.
The two were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams; neither of them was asleep, yet both were "asleep."
After noticing that Consort Hui was quiet, Emperor Kangxi had a good idea.
That means we should go to Jingren Palace in a couple of days. That way, even the old ancestor can't say anything.
Although I had a very friendly "in-depth exchange" with Qingqing over the past three months and didn't feel overwhelmed, I still felt a bit tired from going to court in the morning to review memorials.
I went to Jingren Palace every day or two to rest and recuperate in the other concubines' palaces.
You can't blame Emperor Kangxi for this; it's human nature to eat and have sex.
The harem was full of Manchu and Mongol women, who weren't particularly attractive. I could accept that before, but after Wanwan came into the picture, I couldn't accept it anymore.
After indulging in delicacies, one might eat some simple porridge and side dishes, but would never give up delicacies altogether.
So when Wanwan was pregnant, Consort Yi was the most favored. She was also considered bright and dignified. But after Wanwan finished her confinement, everyone in the harem lost favor.
At this point, Kangxi came up with this idea, and it has to be said that Kangxi was truly "shameless".
In the palaces of other concubines, it was a time for self-cultivation and refinement; but in Wanwan's palace, she was a "hungry wolf."
The two spent the night in this awkward silence.
next day
Consort Hui got up early to serve Emperor Kangxi; she didn't dare to ignore him like Wanwan did.
Kangxi and Consort Hui acted like emperor and subject. After Kangxi left, Consort Hui went back to sleep, which she thought was a good thing.
It's good that she doesn't have to get up early; she thinks this is the most correct thing the Imperial Noble Consort has ever done.
Especially in winter, getting up early is simply inhuman; it's pure torture.
After leaving Yanxi Palace, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief. The two men looked at each other in awkward silence.
It's still more comfortable to be with Qingqing; it really makes me feel at ease.
The data has been terrible these past two days. The author is about to give up. With exams one after another, there's hardly any time to write.
Honey, I don't need any donations, but could you please read this announcement/ad to show your support? (▽?)
