Seeing that Wanwan was already satisfied, Kangxi didn't care too much. If she didn't work out, he could just bestow upon her a concubine from a good family.
"Then let's leave it at that."
Wanwan thought for a moment, and there was still one problem that hadn't been solved. Logically speaking, according to the order of seniority, the Crown Prince should get married first, but the Crown Princess had to observe three years of mourning, and the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were not that far apart in age.
Wanwan asked, "The person has been chosen, so what are your thoughts on the wedding date?"
"Logically speaking, the Crown Prince should get married first, but if we wait until the Crown Prince is married, the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince will be a bit older."
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Kangxi said, "The Crown Prince is only two or three years older than the Third and Fourth Princes. Let's wait until after the Crown Prince gets married. Let the Ministry of Rites make preparations and let them get married immediately after the Crown Prince's wedding."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan sighed inwardly once again, realizing that the Crown Prince was indeed her biological son.
However, Wanwan actually agrees with these things; being a little older is good.
Otherwise, if you are too young, it will not only be bad for your own health, but even if you get pregnant, the child will generally be weak because the mother's body is not fully developed.
Besides, Xiao Si and Xiao Liu are still quite young.
"Alright then, you decide what to do and pick a wedding date."
Kangxi nodded. "I will go to Cining Palace and also summon Consort Yi to discuss the selection of the Fifth Prince's consort. We will issue an edict together at that time."
"good".
Kangxi suddenly thought of something else, "That's right, let's restore Consort Yi's rank to Imperial Concubine. Now that the Fifth Prince is getting married, we should give the Empress Dowager some face, and the rank of the Fifth Prince's birth mother can't be too low."
Wanwan understood, "That makes sense. Consort Yi hasn't caused any trouble in recent years, so we can't disregard the face of the prince's birth mother. Besides, the Fifth Prince is raised under the Empress Dowager's care, so we also have to consider her feelings."
Kangxi stood up. "Very well. Then I will go to Cining Palace first. I already have a candidate for the Fifth Prince."
Wanwan was surprised that Kangxi had made up his mind so quickly. She had thought he would need to think about it more, since he probably hadn't planned on it before.
Wanwan asked, "Which family's princess is she?"
Kangxi didn't mind Wanwan's question, "How about the daughter of the official?"
Wanwan thought for a moment, just like in history, "Wouldn't it be a bit too low a family background for the daughter of a fifth-rank official to become the primary consort of a prince? If there is a secondary consort from a high family background, then it will be very difficult for the primary consort to be the primary consort." Wanwan said thoughtfully.
However, would Kangxi care about this issue? Of course not. "It's alright, I have my own plans."
Since Kangxi had already said so, Wanwan had no choice but to say, "Alright, Xuan Ye, you can handle it as you see fit."
When Emperor Kangxi was in Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager and Consort Yi were not very satisfied with the candidates for the Fifth Prince's consort. Their families and social status were too low. The other princes' wives were all first or second-rank officials, and the lowest-ranking ones were only third-rank officials.
But when it came to her own son, he turned out to be just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and what's more, her son was raised by the Empress Dowager.
However, the Empress Dowager was generally a figurehead with little real power, and she maintained a superficial mother-son relationship with Emperor Kangxi.
To say we're very close wouldn't be an exaggeration; at most, it's just a matter of respect.
As for Consort Yi, she could be said to have fallen out of favor long before she was disrespectful to Wanwan.
So even though the two weren't entirely satisfied, the choice was still made.
Wanwan said: Please like and comment.
