Wanwan said, "Come on, let me give you a good massage to loosen up your bones so you can get a good night's sleep and be refreshed for the morning court tomorrow."
You go in and soak first, I'll go get you some clean clothes to change into.
As she spoke, Wanwan released Kangxi's embrace and went into the wardrobe to get her clothes. Kangxi also went into the side room by himself.
Wanwan looked around the wardrobe, wondering what color would be best. "This bright yellow one will do," she thought, and then grabbed a bright yellow brocade robe and left.
There's a reason why Wanwan wanted to choose this color.
Originally, the emperor's clothes were usually yellow, but Wanwan's were different. She had a lot of colors to choose from, and she also made many clothes for Kangxi using the best, softest, and lightest fabrics.
However, this garment was only kept in Jingren Palace, and Kangxi never wore or carried it when he went to other palaces.
This is something I only wear when I'm at Jingren Palace.
But after Wanwan entered the side room, she didn't see Kangxi soaking in the water; instead, he was sitting next to her.
Wanwan: "Why don't you go in and soak first?"
Kangxi, however, appeared completely at ease. "Didn't you say you would serve me? I'm just waiting for you."
Wanwan was taken aback by these words. What's the difference between me going in and you going in to soak first? But she didn't ask that question.
Instead, she pretended to be serious and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then I will serve Your Majesty your bath."
Emperor Kangxi, showing great courtesy, said, "Then I will trouble my beloved concubine."
After speaking, he opened his arms, gesturing for Wanwan to help him undress.
Wanwan quickly undressed Kangxi and then put him into the bathtub.
While massaging Kangxi's shoulders and arms, Wanwan chatted with him.
Wanwan: "Yesterday, the Crown Prince brought Yinzhen to Jingren Palace. The two of them came to my Jingren Palace to 'eat and drink for free' again. Especially Yinzhen, who is used to eating three meals a day. When he came to the study, he was not used to it. From the beginning of classes until now, he has been complaining that he is hungry almost every time he comes to Jingren Palace, saying that he can't sleep at night because he is hungry."
Although Emperor Kangxi would briefly discuss the wars of the previous dynasty with Wanwan, it certainly wouldn't be like a casual chat. The main reason was that Emperor Kangxi did not allow the empress dowager to "interfere in politics." He could talk to Wanwan about it, but Wanwan could not ask questions on her own initiative.
Therefore, the best subject to talk about is children.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi snorted, "Isn't it all because you spoiled him?"
Emperor Kangxi, along with the Crown Prince, began to visit Jingren Palace more frequently at night.
Upon hearing this, Wanwan retorted, "The Crown Prince's visit to Jingren Palace has little to do with me; it's clearly Yinzhen who brought him here to 'free food and drink.'"
Wanwan said, "Besides, the child is not getting enough to eat. I have told you this problem many times. When he first went to the study, Yinzhen would tell me that he was so hungry at night that he could not sleep."
While enjoying Wanwan's massage, Kangxi said, "It's not because of your habits. The main problem is that he's used to eating two meals a day. How could he have these problems?"
Upon hearing the movement, Wanwan suddenly tightened her grip, causing Kangxi to wince in pain.
Kangxi: "Uh, why are you pinching me?"
Wanwan continued to pat Kangxi's shoulders. "Hmph, but even if he only eats two meals a day, the Crown Prince has woken up hungry in the middle of the night before. Besides, Yinzhen was raised by my side and has never been sick since he was a child. Doesn't that prove that I've raised my child well?"
Kangxi: ………………
Kangxi: It seems there's really no way to refute that.
