Emperor Kangxi stared at his daughter, Yao, who was fair and delicate. "She is a beautiful jade, worthy of being my princess."
"That's settled then. Anyway, I think Yao Yao's name is pretty good, whether it's used as a nickname or a formal name."
Kangxi sighed, "Alright, it's up to you. I already promised you."
After holding the two children briefly, Kangxi placed them on the bed. The two children looked more and more adorable together.
Wanwan also likes these two children very much. They are just like her, and who knows how many young men and women they will charm when they grow up.
After the two teased each other for a while, Yinling started to cry, and then Yaoyao also started to cry. "Nanny, the child must be hungry. Take him down and feed him."
Wet Nurse 1: "Yes"
Second wet nurse: "Yes"
Wanwan lay on her side on the bed. "Why are you here so early today? Did you just get off court? Have you had breakfast yet?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi nodded and said, "I have been thinking about the princess's name, which is why I came to find you as soon as court was over."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan said, "Tingfeng, have the small kitchen prepare some breakfast. We haven't eaten dinner yet, and also make some dishes suitable for me."
The wind must be telling.
Kangxi began, “This time you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which is a great achievement. You are already an Imperial Noble Consort, and I do not want to make you Empress. I am afraid…”
Before Kangxi could finish speaking, Wanwan understood that Kangxi was still afraid that he would bring misfortune to his wives!
“I understand. As long as I have no one above me, whether I am the empress or not is not important. What is important is that I am your wife.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi was still moved. "Although you have no further titles to bestow, I cannot fail to reward you. Since the reward cannot reach you, it can be bestowed upon your family. I intend to appoint your elder brother as... the commander of the Eight Banners Guard."
Wanwan was stunned when she heard her elder brother's position; it was a proper third-rank official in the capital.
"Isn't it a bit too high? My elder brother hasn't made any significant contributions, nor does he have any merits. I'm afraid it won't be convincing to the public."
Emperor Kangxi smiled, and couldn't help but think to himself that the Imperial Noble Consort was indeed sensible. If it were anyone else, they would probably have immediately knelt down to accept the emperor's favor.
Kangxi said, "It's alright. Your eldest brother has always been my personal bodyguard. He is highly skilled in martial arts. Although he is not as smart as you and your second brother, he is more than capable of being a commander of the Imperial Guard."
This is also why Kangxi was at ease; of Wanwan's three older brothers, only her eldest brother was more "simple" than the others.
Seeing that Kangxi had already said so, Wanwan felt it would be impolite to refuse, so she said, "Then I will thank Your Majesty on behalf of my brother."
Kangxi was even more satisfied. "And your second brother, he was also a prefect a few years ago. He was sent out for several years and has long since returned. Moreover, your second brother is a talented man. I plan to appoint him as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Wanwan never expected that besides her eldest brother, there was also her second brother involved. However, her second brother was the smartest among the four siblings, even more so than her, who had been reborn.
But why the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Wanwan thought for a moment, then realized what was going on and tentatively asked, "You don't mean you want my second brother to open the sea, do you?"
Emperor Kangxi was surprised that his Imperial Noble Consort had guessed so quickly. He nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. I have been thinking about this for almost two years. And now that I have seen your merchant ships returning with large sums of silver in front of me, I will naturally accept them."
