Emperor Kangxi was also very satisfied with Wanwan's answer, saying, "That's exactly what I meant. After all, it's her own child who was injured. How could a mother not feel heartache?"
Although Emperor Kangxi did not approve of Wanwan and Yinzhen being too close, he admired Wanwan's selfless love for her child.
Upon seeing their child injured, they immediately rush to apply medicine instead of considering whether it's in accordance with regulations.
Perhaps this was something that Kangxi could not obtain but longed for.
But Wanwan's expression still wasn't very good.
Emperor Kangxi knew the reason. What was originally a problem that could be easily solved had now turned into this mess, with both children suffering injuries of varying degrees.
Kangxi took Wanwan's hand and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy today?"
Wanwan replied irritably, "Isn't that obvious? You're happy if it's for your sake."
After hearing this, Kangxi paused for a moment and said, "I am also unhappy. I never expected things to turn out this way."
Wanwan stepped out of Kangxi's arms and looked at him, saying, "Wasn't it you who indulged her?"
Wanwan said, "I've said it many times, but Consort Yi is still stirring things up. Yet, I haven't said anything harsh to her. If you just say 'Consort Yi, that's enough,' do you think she'll argue back? Or would she dare to be so presumptuous in Jingren Palace?"
Kangxi was very unhappy when he heard this, and his displeasure was also evident on his face, but Wanwan was not afraid at all.
Instead, she continued, "I have already punished Yinzhen severely enough; both his hands are so swollen and red from the beating, yet Consort Yi is still not satisfied."
Wanwan said, "Originally, I didn't hold this against you because of my sake, and I punished you all. I could have just apologized to the Ninth Prince at Yikun Palace later. But those two were so presumptuous in Jingren Palace. Didn't you condone it?"
Wanwan: "Or is it that Your Majesty is not satisfied with me, and this is a punishment or a warning to me?"
When Kangxi heard this, he took it very seriously; he had never thought of it that way before.
He didn't refute it, partly because he was startled when Wanwan hit Yinzhen, and partly because he wanted to save face for the Empress Dowager.
If the Empress Dowager finds out about this, then the Ancestor will also know, or rather, the Ancestor already knows.
If Consort Yi goes to see the Empress Dowager out of respect for her brother, the situation will become even more complicated.
Kangxi always kept quiet about this matter; he wouldn't let Qingqing guess his intentions.
Emperor Kangxi said, "I also wanted to resolve this matter by turning a big issue into a small one, and a small issue into nothing, but when Consort Yi came to me, she wouldn't let it go."
If she were to use her visit to the Fifth Prince as an excuse to gossip to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would not ignore it once she found out.
I was afraid things would get complicated, so I didn't stop you. It was my fault.
In the entire world, besides the Empress Dowager, the only other person who could make Emperor Kangxi apologize was Wanwan.
Wanwan was a little unhappy to hear this, but she really couldn't refute it.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang still preferred her to Consort Yi, but the Empress Dowager couldn't stop the fact that the Empress Dowager had adopted Consort Yi's son.
No matter what, one should still give Consort Yi some face. Compared to the Empress Dowager, Wanwan doesn't hold much weight in Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's heart.
Wanwan said, "I understand. I was thinking of Yinzhen, but I didn't consider Your Majesty's situation."
Wanwan said, "I know I was wrong."
Kangxi knew that the matter was barely over, otherwise he would have continued to address her as "Your Majesty" to appease his anger.
Kangxi said, "Alright, everything's fine now. Keep a close eye on the child and let him recover before he goes to the study."
Wanwan hummed in agreement.
