However, Emperor Kangxi could not raise them himself, which put him in a difficult position.
As Kangxi's most understanding and considerate concubine, Wanwan could not possibly put him in a difficult position.
Therefore, it was natural for them to help Kangxi out of this predicament.
Wanwan looked at Kangxi with a troubled expression, "Actually, I could raise them, but..."
Upon hearing that Wanwan had agreed to raise him, Kangxi immediately said, "Tell me your requirements."
Wanwan hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you want me to raise that child, the jade tablet must be changed."
Then she added, "I do not want to raise a child, develop feelings for him, and then return to his birth mother."
After listening to Wanwan's words, Kangxi lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Qingqing is still young, and she will definitely have her own children in the future."
However, there is no suitable person to raise this child right now, only Qingqing. Besides, since Qingqing will have children in the future, there is not much difference between having one or two children.
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi often took Baocheng to Jingren Palace. In Qingqing's Jingren Palace, Kangxi always saw how good Qingqing was to Baocheng. Therefore, Kangxi thought that if Qingqing raised this child, she would definitely treat him well.
Even if I have a biological son in the future, I will definitely not mistreat the child; at least I will be able to maintain a semblance of fairness.
Wanwan watched Kangxi pondering, fearing he might send Yinzhen to the Empress Dowager in a moment of panic, so she said, "Actually, Consort Wuya, as a concubine, is not qualified to raise a child, so it doesn't matter who raises him."
Emperor Kangxi heard this...
After careful consideration, Emperor Kangxi agreed to Wanwan's idea: "What my beloved consort says is true. Luffy is not qualified to raise the prince. In that case, it is perfectly acceptable to transfer the child's jade tablet to my beloved consort's name."
Kangxi said to Gu Wenxing, "Gu Wenxing, issue an imperial decree that from this day forward, this child shall be the biological child of Consort Ming."
Emperor Kangxi often chose names for his children when they were one year old, because he was afraid that they would not be able to raise them properly.
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Wanwan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you."
Thus, Consort Tong's efforts came to naught. She had originally wanted to adopt Uya's child, but due to Kangxi's misunderstanding, the child was not adopted.
Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi agreed that if any concubine's child was born next time, it would be given to Consort Tong for adoption. Although Consort Tong was unhappy, she did not say anything, after all, she truly loved Emperor Kangxi.
Since Wanwan was raising the child, she no longer trusted the wet nurses and other caregivers she had prepared. Although she temporarily had the wet nurse take the child back to Jingren Palace.
However, the Wanyan family was still instructed to immediately find a wet nurse and a nanny with a clear background and clean family history and send them to the palace.
Since the child had become Wanwan's 'biological' child, the third-day celebration and the full-month celebration were both held in Jingren Palace. As Wanwan was a Noble Consort, the third-day celebration and the full-month celebration for the child were naturally grand as well.
Among them, the Wanyan family sent many good things to Wanwan's 'biological' child.
Fortunately, Yinzhen's name was decided when the baby was one month old, probably because Wanwan had taken good care of him during that month. Kangxi felt that this child was capable of standing on his own, so he named him Yinzhen at the one-month celebration.
Emperor Kangxi frequently visited Jingren Palace, often accompanied by Baocheng. Gradually, the one-year-old Baocheng became acquainted with Yinzhen, who was still sleeping in a baby basket.
During this month, Kangxi often saw Wanwan holding the child and wiping his drool. On one occasion, she even saw Wanwan skillfully coaxing the child.
Although Wanwan had tried to coax Baocheng before, Emperor Kangxi didn't see him very often because Baocheng was mainly in the Qianqing Palace.
Moreover, Bao Cheng was the late Empress's son, and Wan Wan, as a concubine, could not get too close to him, so she always maintained a proper distance.
But Yinzhen is different; he is now Wanwan's biological child.
So when Kangxi saw Wanwan holding and comforting a child again...
At the time, Kangxi thought that his decision was absolutely correct.
Wanwan also specially tidied up the East Annex Hall with all the things for children, since this was Yinzhen's residence before he was six years old, and Baocheng would sleep here every few days.
This also helped to bring her closer to Yinzhen.
Let's talk about Lady Wuya of Chengqian Palace. When she was on the verge of death, she also thought that Consort Tong was responsible for her death. So, even though she didn't say anything on the surface, she still hated Consort Tong in her heart.
She was devastated when she learned that the child she had given birth to after nine months of pregnancy had been given to Consort Ming for adoption and that the jade tablet had been changed.
Because Consort Tong only gave her the position of a concubine, even if Consort Tong hadn't given it to her, Emperor Kangxi would have given it to her because she was pregnant.
So, Wuya's efforts were all in vain. In the end, she gained nothing and even ruined her health. With her current broken body, she will probably need to recuperate for several years.
Wanwan was unaware of Wuya's resentment, and even if she had known, she wouldn't have cared too much. After all, even Wanwan thought Wuya would die back then, but she didn't expect that she would indeed become a scourge to Yi Nian, and that she actually survived.
Even if she hadn't died, it wouldn't have changed anything. The child's jade tablet had been changed; she was still a concubine.
When the emperor bestowed titles upon the empresses in the sixteenth year of his reign, Wanwan's rank would simply be lower than hers.
Perhaps Wanwan doesn't need to suppress Wuya's rank, because when that time comes, Wanwan will definitely skin me alive.
At that time, Emperor Kangxi probably wouldn't allow Lady Uya, a bondservant, to be promoted to the rank of concubine again.
Time passed by like this.
Before they knew it, it was Yinzhen's first birthday. Because of Wanwan, Kangxi also extended his affection to her, and he knew very well how good Wanwan was to this child. She truly treated Yinzhen as her own son and raised him. So, like Baocheng, this child was loved by Kangxi.
At Yinzhen's first birthday banquet, during the traditional "grasping ceremony" (a traditional Chinese custom where one chooses an object to predict one's future), Yinzhen picked up a book and a small bow and arrow.
When Wanwan saw Yinzhen grab the small bow and arrow, she knew he would be embarrassed later. After all, everyone knew that the Fourth Prince's strength was only four and a half bows. In order to avoid embarrassment in the future, Wanwan decided to ask Kangxi to find better teachers for Yinzhen when he started practicing martial arts, so that he could be properly educated and strive to break Yinzhen's previous record (?ω?)hiahiahia.
Time passed by, and in this parallel world, Yinzhen received the maternal love he had never experienced.
It is worth mentioning that another concubine who was particularly favored by Emperor Kangxi in the early years of his reign, the future Consort Yi, of the Guo Luo Luo clan, and her sister arrived at the palace.
It was only then that Wanwan remembered that next year would be the 16th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and that the ranks and titles of the imperial concubines should be determined next year, marking the first major conferment of titles upon the imperial harem.
Guo Luoluo and her sister were both concubines.
