Emperor Kangxi was amused by Wanwan's funny antics, and with the addition of another prince today, he was in a really good mood.
After some exercise that evening, Kangxi stroked Wanwan's smooth back, and the two lay in bed together, embracing.
Ke Xi sighed once again. No matter how many years have passed, he truly loved Wanwan's skin. Coupled with the faint scent of gardenias, he felt that sleeping with her at night improved his sleep considerably.
Wanwan was even more direct, lying on her side in Kangxi's arms with one leg draped over his stomach and her arm around his neck.
The two had just finished washing up, but their faces were still flushed.
Kangxi turned his head and kissed Wanwan on the forehead. "Who do you think would be the most suitable person to raise Zhangjia's child?"
It was only then that Wanwan remembered that although Kangxi had not decided who would raise the thirteenth prince that afternoon, it was clear that those below the rank of concubine were not qualified to raise princes.
After thinking for a moment, Wanwan said, "In the palace, only Consort Jing, Consort Duan, and Consort An are suitable to raise children. All the other people who can raise children already have children."
"You can choose from these three people."
Kangxi thought for a moment. Both Consort Jing and Consort Duan had given birth before. Although their daughters did not survive, they had some experience in childbirth. Consort An had never given birth, and he did not particularly like her. The main reason was that he did not like Anping's father.
Seeing that Kangxi was thinking about who should raise the thirteenth prince, Wanwan thought of how her fourth son liked the thirteenth prince, and said, "Actually, it would be fine to let Lady Zhangjia raise him separately, as long as the emperor gives a favor, no one will object."
However, upon hearing this, Kangxi immediately retorted, "Impossible! I will absolutely not allow a bondservant to raise his own son."
Upon hearing Kangxi's absolute words, Wanwan knew that she probably couldn't persuade him.
After all, the last purge of the bondservant clans had already shocked Kangxi enough, and he was afraid that the bondservant clans would take control of the palace.
In fact, in the late Qing Dynasty, the imperial palace was almost entirely controlled by bondservants, and an egg could sell for hundreds of taels of silver.
Wanwan could only ask Kangxi to think of other people, saying, "I wonder who Your Majesty thinks is suitable?"
Wanwan overlooked someone and suddenly remembered that Consort Jin really didn't have any children.
Wanwan wondered how she could have forgotten about this imperial concubine.
But if the Imperial Concubine were to raise him, I'm afraid his relationship with Yinzhen wouldn't be as good as before.
Especially when the Thirteenth Prince was young, he was mostly protected by the Fourth Prince. But if he were the Consort's child, why would he need anyone else to protect him?
Emperor Kangxi also thought of his cousin, saying, "What do you think about letting my cousin raise the child? My cousin has always wanted a prince and has wanted to do so for many years."
Wanwan then brought up another matter, "What about the Twelfth Prince? Who does the Emperor intend to entrust him to for upbringing?"
Emperor Kangxi was stumped by Wanwan's question again. The twelfth prince was the child of Wanliuhashi, and was also born to a bondservant.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi thought about it seriously and actually came up with a suitable candidate.
Since Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, Su Ma La Gu in Cining Palace has also been in poor health, and she is not young to begin with.
Now that I've lost all hope, or rather, all desire to live, my health is slowly deteriorating.
However, Su Ma La Gu was not just a servant of the Empress Dowager to Emperor Kangxi. Su Ma La Gu could also be considered Emperor Kangxi's teacher, and she had taught Emperor Kangxi.
