Wanwan asked, "Okay, will the Niohuru family also be given a title after entering the palace? Or will they be given a title after they have gained seniority this year?"
Kangxi said, "There's no rush. After all, the rank of the Imperial Concubine has already been very high, and it's only because of her family's merits. If we were to give her another title, she would be just like my cousin."
Wanwan said, "That's fine. If Niohuru gives birth to a prince or princess, giving her a title would be a reward. After all, she is already a Noble Consort, and there's no way she can be promoted any higher."
Emperor Kangxi said, "What you say is right. If that's the case, then let's settle on this."
Wanwan: "Alright, I wonder when His Majesty will issue the decree."
Kangxi: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Wanwan glared at Kangxi with annoyance. "What exactly happened? Don't you know? Don't tell me you didn't know anything during this time. I'm afraid quite a bit of soup and liquids have been sent to the Qianqing Palace, haven't you?"
Emperor Kangxi laughed loudly.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't stop laughing when he thought about this. During this period, very little of the soup and broth sent to him actually went into his stomach; most of it was eaten by the eunuchs.
The eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace have been eating very well lately, as most of their meals consist of medicinal dishes made from expensive herbs or soups. You can see that the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace have all gained a lot of weight.
Emperor Kangxi said, "I know what they're thinking. They just want to have their names on my plate so I won't forget them. But who is meant to be has already been decided, and it's not something that can be decided by his soup and water."
As Wanwan listened to Kangxi's words, she knew that he was still talking, and that he must have received many invitations from the concubines or been asked to serve him during this time.
Wanwan: "There's nothing we can do about it. Ever since the last time in the sixteenth year of Kangxi's reign, when the harem was being grandly reorganized, there has been no movement in the ranks of concubines and imperial consorts, except for Consort Yi. Because the Empress Dowager was keeping a prince as a mistress, Consort Yi's position has remained unchanged. They must be anxious, and now that they finally have such an opportunity, they naturally don't want to let it go."
Kangxi said, "That's right. In that case, the imperial edict will arrive when the concubines pay their respects at the Jingren Palace on the fifteenth of the month. That will be the day after tomorrow. When the concubines pay their respects at the Jingren Palace the day after tomorrow, I will issue the imperial edict, which will save them from constantly bothering me."
Wanwan: "That works too."
Kangxi responded with an "Mm".
…………………………
fifteen
Jingren Palace
The concubines greeted the Imperial Noble Consort, wishing her boundless blessings and peace.
Sitting on the phoenix throne, Wanwan looked at the people below who came to pay their respects, thinking that the matter of bestowing titles upon the six palaces by the emperor had finally been settled.
Wanwan said, "Rise, everyone. Please take a seat."
The concubines thanked the Imperial Noble Consort.
It's the same old story: Wanwan was very diligent and conscientious in her position as Imperial Noble Consort.
As usual, the emperor first inquired about the high-ranking concubines, then those with children, and showed concern for the princes and princesses. Once all of this was over, the imperial edict from the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace would arrive.
"Your Majesty, Liang Jiugong from the Qianqing Palace has come to deliver an imperial decree."
Wanwan said, "Let him in."
Hearing this, the concubines, though outwardly appearing the same as usual, were inwardly very happy.
But I just couldn't suppress the smile on my face.
They knew they would find out today who would be included and who wouldn't in this grand selection of the six palaces, and those who were confident naturally had no worries at all.
Those who are uncertain, such as those who were favored by Emperor Kangxi once or twice and then forgotten, are more worrisome.
