Kangxi: "Let's go with Xuan Ye."
Wanwan pressed her advantage, saying, "See, see, I told you long ago to call you Xuan Ye, but you wouldn't listen. You insisted on making me think more, and in the end, you still called me Xuan Ye, didn't you?"
Kangxi didn't even want to refute anymore, because she could clearly see the teasing in Wanwan's eyes.
"Xuan Ye..." Her soft tone carried a hint of... well... coquettishness.
"Um"
"Xuan Ye..." he called out again.
"Um"
"...Xuan Ye"
Kangxi was embarrassed by being called "Xuan Ye" several times, and his face turned a little red.
Kangxi himself noticed it. He wasn't exactly angry or embarrassed, but the feeling was still quite novel to him. Not wanting Wanwan to find out, he glanced at Wanwan and then turned back into the palace.
Wanwan naturally discovered Kangxi's thoughts, and after watching Kangxi return to the palace, she followed him.
This morning, because Emperor Kangxi planned to spend the afternoon with Wanwan, he had already finished reviewing the memorials.
Upon entering the hall, it was still early; we had just finished lunch, and it was only around three o'clock.
Once inside the palace, Wanwan led Kangxi to the study. Well, mainly because there was nothing else to do, and it was impossible to indulge in debauchery in broad daylight.
So I had no choice but to spend my time in the study.
Wanwan turned a room next to the main hall into a study. After all, it was a room she would live in for the rest of her life. If she didn't even have a few books, how would she get through the next few decades?
Wanwan's study didn't quite look like a study; it was more like... a relaxing bedroom filled with books. There were flowers on the desk, but they weren't gardenias.
Since Wanwan has just entered the palace, there are still many things that haven't been organized. Today, she plans to tidy up the study.
Wanwan asked Tingyu to take people to organize the storeroom. This was very important, as it would be her livelihood in the future, and it contained all her precious treasures.
In the future, rewards and congratulations will be given to people from here.
"Xuan Ye, is there any book you would like to read? I have mostly travelogues, some strange tales, and some storybooks here."
"They're mostly books for girls, very few for men, and there are hardly any serious books."
"What books does Xuan Ye like that you can give to Qingqing? Tell her and Qingqing will prepare some."
Kangxi was not used to being called by his name except by his grandmother, but when he thought about today... he felt a secret joy at being called "Qingqing".
Kangxi flipped through the books on the bookshelf. They were indeed suitable for women to read. He opened a work on geography, glanced at it, and saw that it was a miscellaneous book (not an officially certified book). The author was Qin Huai. Qin Huai, hmm... never heard of him.
He put the book back in its place and then opened another book of unofficial historical records, which was about the Han and Tang dynasties. However, there was a sentence in it that Kangxi happened to see, which he did not quite agree with: "The Qin and Sui dynasties planted the trees, and the Han and Tang dynasties enjoyed the shade."
"Don't read these unofficial histories; they're not entirely accurate."
"Hmm... something's not right." Wanwan was still tidying up the books on the table. She put down her books and walked over. "Let me see."
Kangxi said, "This is incorrect. The sentence 'Qin and Sui planted trees, Han and Tang enjoyed the shade' is wrong."
Wanwan glanced at Kangxi and said, "Xuanye, tell me what's wrong with that statement?"
Emperor Kangxi said, "Not to mention that the Han and Tang dynasties lasted longer than the Qin and Sui dynasties, and their national strength was also stronger than that of the Qin and Sui dynasties. Even just considering the Tang dynasty, it was a time when all nations paid tribute to it."
"The lives of ordinary people in the Han and Tang dynasties were better than those in the Qin and Sui dynasties."
Wanwan asked, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"
