Emperor Kangxi was surprised that Wanwan would admit it so readily. He looked down at Wanwan and asked, "Why? You clearly knew that I originally planned to let my cousin adopt a child. You also knew that my cousin would definitely adopt a child, so why can't it be the thirteenth child?"
Wanwan thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Sigh, you actually found out. It's just that I noticed Yinzhen seemed to care a lot about Lady Zhangjia."
After asking Yinzhen, I learned that he was particularly fond of the child that Lady Zhangjia had not yet given birth to.
Yinzhen felt that they should have been brothers, otherwise how could they have felt close to each other even before they were born?
That's why I don't want you to report Xiao Shisan to Consort Jin, otherwise their relationship won't be good after they come.
In addition, my relationship with Consort Jin was not very good, and it was just ordinary; we only got along superficially.
I know you plan to adopt a child for Consort Jin. Besides, since Consort Jin has cooperated with the Uya clan, it's naturally her plan.
That's why I was thinking of finding another adoptive mother for Little Thirteen.
After hearing this, Kangxi was surprised to find that it was just this matter. Because Yinzhen felt close to the thirteenth prince, he was already considering the brotherly relationship between the two at this time.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but sigh once again that Qingqing was the best he could be for his child.
"So that's how it is."
This put Kangxi in a difficult position. Originally, it would have been a win-win situation to have the child adopted by his cousin, but now that he, Yinzhen, had intervened, Qingqing had other ideas.
After considering it over, I decided that Qingqing was more important. Besides, my cousin was already cooperating with Wuya, so I could just give her another child later.
"In that case, there's no need to think about anyone else. Let him stay by your side. Xiao Si likes it, and the two of you can develop a brotherly bond."
Wanwan didn't expect things to turn out this way, but she naturally didn't mind, especially since her twins were only a few years old.
But now there's a problem: she already has many children, and there are also concubines in the harem who don't have any. If he were to be raised by her, wouldn't there be...?
Wanwan spoke up, "Of course I don't mind raising another child, but there are other concubines in the harem who don't have children. Wouldn't that be... not so good?"
Kangxi said, “What’s wrong with that? Besides, you are the mother of all the princes and princesses. It’s perfectly legitimate for them to be raised by your side. However, I’m afraid the imperial edict cannot be changed.”
Wanwan didn't care about the jade disc at all.
Kangxi continued, "Besides, even if it's not good, so what? Who can say anything about you?"
Only then did Wanwan realize, "That's right, who in this harem can say anything to her?" Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was dead, and the Empress Dowager was someone who didn't care about anything, only guarding her own little corner of the world.
Now, in this harem, it can be said that she has absolute power.
"Alright then, it just so happens that Yinling and Yaoyao are four years old, so I don't need to worry too much. They can also be playmates for them."
Kangxi said, "Then this matter is settled. Tomorrow I will issue an edict to bring the thirteenth child to Jingren Palace after the full moon."
Wanwan was very satisfied with the outcome, which was one she hadn't expected.
Things went so smoothly, it seems I hold a high place in Kangxi's heart.
Then he remembered something else: "But now that he's been adopted by me, shouldn't his birth mother be promoted to a higher rank? The imperial register can't be changed, and the birth mother of a prince is still too lowly as a concubine."
