When Emperor Kangxi learned that Consort Wei was pregnant, he was initially surprised, but later he became disgusted. However, even his disgust did not stop him from going to Consort Wei's room.
What can be said? One can only say that Kangxi was being a jerk, looking down on her on one hand, and then going to her room on the other.
So Wanwan felt a little sympathy for this position, since she couldn't really make her own decisions either.
She wanted to live a better life in the harem, but she never expected to incur the Emperor Kangxi's dislike.
Wei achieved her goal by doing this; she successfully became pregnant and gave birth to the child with the help of Consort Hui.
However, she lost Kangxi's favor, or one could say that Kangxi disliked her.
After all, as an emperor, Kangxi liked to have everything under control. It was only natural that he would be angry to be tricked by a mere concubine at the time.
At that time, it was with the help of Consort Hui that Lady Wei became a lady-in-waiting to Emperor Kangxi, and was later granted the title of Lady-in-waiting.
The main reason is that Wanwan has been too favored in the past few years. Consort Hui thought that, whether for her own status or for her son, she would elevate Consort Wei to compete with her.
However, Empress Wei's vision was rather limited, which went against Emperor Kangxi's wishes.
For the sake of the child, Kangxi did not hold it against her, but he still disliked her. So even though she was favored, her rank was not high.
Indeed, Lady Wei has been quite favored these past two years. Although Emperor Kangxi looks down on her, he still visits her residence frequently.
Moreover, Lady Wei was someone whose favor with Consort Yi was on par with that of Consort Wan.
After Lady Wei gave birth to the Eighth Prince, Emperor Kangxi promoted her to the rank of Changzai.
Of the remaining concubines, Wanwan selected some of the more senior and obedient ones and promoted them to the position of concubine. Some female officials were also promoted to the position of concubine.
After all, once Kangxi had used them, he didn't really care about them anymore, which made their lives in the harem even more difficult.
That looks about right.
Wanwan put down her pen and asked, "Tingyu, has the Sixth Prince returned?"
Wanwan looked at the list of people and, feeling that it was about right, put down her pen.
"Your Majesty thinks that the Sixth Prince should be heading to Jingren Palace right now. His Highness the Crown Prince's lunch time is different from here."
"It will probably be a little while before His Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince finish eating with the Sixth Prince," said Tingyu.
Wanwan: "Okay, I understand. I'll look at the account books for a while longer."
As she said this, Wanwan picked up the account book of her shop outside the palace from the table.
Over the past few years, Wanwan has managed her shop very well. Although she can't be as rich as someone who is richer than a country, she is still quite wealthy.
As for why Wanwan is accumulating wealth, besides the fact that money is essential for her own use, it is also to lay the foundation for her future children.
After all, Emperor Kangxi left behind a huge mess when he died, with the national treasury holding less than 8 million taels of silver.
Back when Emperor Yongzheng was in power, the national treasury had accumulated 60 million taels of silver, but what good was that? Emperor Qianlong embezzled it all.
So this can be seen as accumulating wealth for one's children in advance, so that they won't have to suffer so much when they rise to power later.
Looking at the ledger, Wanwan thought to herself, "As expected, it's still the women's money that's easiest to earn."
The jewelry she designs brings in a large sum of money every month.
There's also glass, which is a rare item and extremely expensive.
The monthly income was considerable. In addition, the stories in Fengming Tower constantly attracted a large number of customers, which also brought in a significant amount of money each month. Thinking about it this way, Wanwan felt that she was one step closer to becoming incredibly wealthy.
