Wanwan looked at Changning and said, "Alright, Changping, you can eat the rest."
Don't underestimate this apple that has been eaten. Palace servants never got to eat such a fine apple. Moreover, giving servants leftovers from their masters was a sign of reward and trust.
So Changping was naturally happy.
He immediately bowed to Wanwan and said, "This servant thanks Your Majesty for the reward," and then took the apple with both hands.
After playing with Baocheng for a while, Wanwan saw that Baocheng was sleepy, so she coaxed him to sleep.
As Kangxi watched Wanwan skillfully hold and soothe the child, he sighed inwardly once again, "If Qingqing and I had a child, that child would surely be the happiest child."
After coaxing Baocheng to sleep, Wanwan said to the wet nurse, "Wet nurse, take the child away."
The wet nurse took the child and carried him to the east side hall.
This was already an unspoken agreement: if Kangxi took Baocheng to Jingren Palace for a meal, Baocheng would stay there until dark; if Kangxi did not stay overnight at Jingren Palace, the child would be taken to Qianqing Palace after dark.
If Emperor Kangxi stayed overnight, the child would only be brought to the Qianqing Palace the next day when Emperor Kangxi went to the morning court.
Clearly, after lunch, Emperor Kangxi had to go review memorials, so the child remained at Jingren Palace.
Emperor Kangxi stood up and said to Wanwan, "I still have memorials to review, so I won't be coming tonight."
Wanwan said to the Emperor, "I understand. Once Baocheng wakes up, I will have the wet nurse send Baocheng back to the Qianqing Palace."
Kangxi said, "Yes, I'm leaving."
Emperor Kangxi went to the Qianqing Palace to review memorials. Wanwan naturally knew that Emperor Kangxi would not come tonight. After all, yesterday was the ceremony for establishing the empress, and Emperor Kangxi would have to accompany Empress Niohuru for at least the first three days.
This was to give face to the Niohuru clan and also to appease the Niohuru frontline soldiers.
After Kangxi left, Wanwan went directly to her study to manage her businesses. After all, she owned quite a few shops, but the most important ones were the fruits and vegetables grown on her estate.
Those fruits and vegetables have extremely high prices in winter, and you can make a lot of money just from them over the winter, but they haven't been planted on a large scale yet.
There was also the cherry tree that Wanwan planted. Because she was afraid that others would suspect her, when Wanwan was six or seven years old, she lied to her family and said that she bought it from a missionary and a Japanese man.
It's been almost seven or eight years since it was planted, and it's only now starting to bear fruit. No one can doubt it.
There are also Wanwan's dowry shops, quite a lot, so our Wanwan is also a person with a career.
Besides that, there are mirrors he made in partnership with his third brother, etc., so he's never really free.
When Bao Cheng woke up, Wanwan asked the wet nurse to take him back to the Qianqing Palace.
Tingyu said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
Wanwan: "Okay, I understand."
Wanwan went straight to her meal after leaving the study.
……………………
Wanwan was still thinking about things when she went to bed at night.
After all, going to bed as soon as it gets dark is too early for her.
Wanwan thought to herself, "Now I have completely transformed Jingren Palace to my liking. Everything is going well at my shop outside the palace. The jewelry I designed is very popular, and my annual income is quite good."
The estate is full of fruit trees, as well as some high-yield, filling corn. Potatoes cannot be planted yet; even if they were, Kangxi would be very happy in the short term, but he would inevitably be suspected in his later years. Therefore, it would be best to offer them up when Kangxi is near death. Only at this time, if one can intervene, will the merit gained be greater.
So far, only smallpox vaccination is suitable for donation. If it is discovered on one's own estate, the merit will be considerable. It seems that Father and Brother should go to their own estate.
……………………
Wanwan drifted off to sleep with these thoughts in mind, and the next day she immediately put them into action, writing down the effects and methods of smallpox vaccination in the letter.
Wanwan packed the letter and handed it to Tingyu. "Tingyu, deliver this letter to my second brother and let him handle it."
Listening to the rain, she said, "This servant understands."
Wanwan knew very well that her second brother was the smartest and also the most cunning in the family.
So as long as you give him the letter, he will definitely make the right choice.
……………………
When Wanwan's second brother, Abahai, received Wanwan's letter, he appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
He thought to himself, 'If it's true, then the Wanyan family will definitely rise to a higher level.'
…………
Wanyan Family Study
Wanyan Honglie looked at Wanwan's letter and asked Abahai, "Are you sure?" It wasn't that Wanyan Honglie didn't believe her, but that if this matter were accomplished, it would be a great achievement.
Smallpox had always been a sword of Damocles hanging over the Qing Dynasty. Solving this problem would surely have earned them a place in history. How could Wanyan Honglie not ask this question a few more times?
Wanyan Alugang said, "Don't make a fuss about this. My second brother and I will try it out at my sister's estate first. If it doesn't work, we won't suffer any losses. If it does work, then..."
Wanyan Honglie said, "You're right, there's no harm in trying."
Wanyan Abahai considered things more carefully: "Don't tell my elder brother about this yet. He is a royal bodyguard, and if he accidentally reveals something, it will cause trouble."
Wanyan Honglie thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then let's not tell Batu Rui for now."
…
He didn't tell anyone else at first, only his father and younger brother. Although it wasn't good that his elder brother didn't tell, his elder brother wasn't very smart. If he were to be exposed in front of Emperor Kangxi, then his merit wouldn't be so great.
Besides, it's not certain whether it will succeed or not.
Prevention is better than cure.
At this point, Wanyan Abahai and Wanyan Alugang had one more thing to do.
...
Then there's Wanwan. After writing the letter, she was still worried and asked the system to help monitor and guide her.
……………………
Three months later, Wanyan Honglie looked at the words on the paper, his emotions too excited to express. He never expected that the sword hanging over the Qing Dynasty would be removed by him.
Wanyan Honglie said "good, good, good" three times in a row.
It was only at this point that Wanyan Batu Rui learned of this matter, and he was a little unhappy, as everyone in his family knew except for him.
Wanyan Abahai could tell what her elder brother was thinking just by looking at his expression.
He then said to his elder brother, "Brother, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but if you accidentally let something slip in front of the Emperor, or if you act too happy, you'll be exposed when the Emperor asks."
Besides... besides, it's not certain whether it will succeed, so I didn't tell you, brother, you..."
Wanyan Batu Rui understood immediately upon hearing this; he knew himself well and couldn't keep secrets.
Wanyan Batu Rui said, "Second brother, elder brother understands."
It's important to address conflicts to prevent them from escalating.
Wait until the next day.
Jingren Palace
Wanwan knew that today was the day her father would talk about smallpox, so after paying her respects, she waited for news at Jingren Palace. Although she knew it had been successful, she was only relieved when she heard the news.
As expected.
After the court session, Emperor Kangxi went straight to Jingren Palace.
When Emperor Kangxi arrived at Jingren Palace, Wanwan bowed in greeting.
Before Wanwan could squat down, Kangxi excitedly said to her, "Qingqing, get up quickly, your father has done a great service."
