Emperor Kangxi re-ordered the generational order of all the surviving princes and princesses, and he also put in extra effort for Wanwan.
He wanted a child with Wanwan.
That child must be the happiest child in the world.
So, almost two months after he began to dote on Wanwan, he learned a "secret" about her.
On this day, Emperor Kangxi came to Jingren Palace. He did not have anyone announce his arrival, but went in alone to see what Wanwan was doing.
However, he heard something that angered him.
Before he even reached the door, he could hear the master and servant talking inside, so he secretly listened at the door.
"Your Majesty, are you still going to take this birth control pill?" Tingyu asked.
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't quite describe how he felt, but one feeling was particularly strong: anger.
He is trying to have a child with Wanwan, but Wanwan is taking birth control pills. Why?
Does she not want to have her own child? But from their usual interactions, it's not clear that Wanwan has any complaints about it.
Why doesn't she have children? Isn't it true that having children is essential for securing a position in the imperial harem?
Although Wanwan comes from a good family, even without children, as a Noble Consort, no one dares to offend her. But which woman in the harem doesn't want a child?
Could it be that Wanwan is scared? Doesn't want to have a baby now?
Even Kangxi himself didn't realize that his initial anger had turned into an excuse for Wanwan's reluctance to have children.
The advisor, who was with Kangxi, naturally heard it as well. He was also taken aback when he heard Tingyu's words.
Which woman in the imperial harem wasn't vying for the emperor's favor to give birth to a child, thus gaining status through her son?
There's also the saying that having a child in the harem guarantees future security, so why would the Imperial Noble Consort need to use contraception?
He couldn't figure it out either, but he knew he couldn't make a sound right now, and even his breathing became very careful.
Because he sensed the emperor's anger, he feared that the emperor might kill him if he got angry.
Kangxi's face was expressionless, but those who knew him knew that he was definitely in a bad mood at this time, and it was generally best not to cause any problems at this time, otherwise he would be easily punished.
However, he had just woken up when he heard the last sentence, and he was slightly touched, but this did not eliminate his unhappiness so far.
This was a grand gift that Wanwan had prepared to present to Emperor Kangxi.
Wanwan said, "I'm not drinking it anymore, and don't brew any more of these medicines."
The system had already told Wanwan this when Kangxi was approaching, which is why she planned to say it this way.
This not only explained why she hadn't conceived in the first four years, but also demonstrated her deep love for her son. For Emperor Kangxi, who had enjoyed maternal love for a short time, this had a significant impact.
Wanwan said, "When I adopted Yinzhen before, I was still young and couldn't take good care of the child. I was also afraid that I would get pregnant and cause the servant to mistreat Yinzhen."
Wanwan: "You know how the servants in the palace treat people differently based on their status. Although things have improved a lot since the Emperor cleared out the bondservant families, a leopard can't change its spots."
Wanwan continued, "Children are more sensitive. I'm afraid that if I become pregnant, Yinzhen will feel uneasy."
"Besides, I don't know how to raise children. If I had another child, I'm afraid even Yinzhen wouldn't be able to take care of him."
“But things are different now. Xuan Ye wants me to have a child with him, and Yin Zhen is already three years old.”
"I'm getting old enough, it's time to have a child."
Listening to the rain, she said, "Your Majesty, you are so good to the Fourth Prince."
As Wanwan spoke, a smile appeared on her face, and her tone carried a hint of joy. "Yinzhen is my child, how could I not love him?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi understood why Wanwan was no longer pregnant.
It turns out that after Wanwan adopted Yinzhen, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to provide him with a good life, or that she wouldn't be able to take good care of him if she got pregnant, so she started using contraception.
For a moment, Kangxi felt both happy and unhappy. He was happy because he had indeed not misjudged Yinzhen and had not made any mistakes in the past. Entrusting Yinzhen to Wanwan for upbringing was the right choice.
However, what made Kangxi unhappy was that Wanwan used contraception because of Yinzhen, which was the most upsetting thing for him, as he longed to have a child with Wanwan.
Moreover, two years ago she was even comforting Wanwan because she was afraid that Wanwan wasn't pregnant.
The more Kangxi thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. "Am I trying to comfort you? Are you just looking at me like I'm an idiot?"
However, he wasn't born yet at this time; he was still listening to the conversation between the master and servant inside!
"So, Your Highness isn't taking medicine anymore, is she planning to have a child?" Tingyu asked.
When Tingyu mentioned this, she was quite excited, after all, her own empress was going to have a biological child.
Although the Empress Dowager treats the Fourth Prince as her own child, no different from her own son, it's still better to have a child of one's own.
Wanwan: "Yes, now that Yinzhen has grown up, Xuan Ye also wants me to have a child, so I also plan to have one."
Wanwan looked happy as she spoke of this.
Although Emperor Kangxi knew the reason, he was also unhappy with Wanwan's practice of using contraception. She regarded Yinzhen as her own child, which is why she gave up the opportunity to have her own child.
When Kangxi walked in, he was still furious and shouted loudly, "How dare you!"
Wanwan and Tingyu were so frightened that they knelt down.
Wanwan's goal was to gradually deepen her impression on Kangxi's heart.
Before Wanwan could finish speaking, Kangxi interrupted, "It's not what you heard..." "If it's not what I heard, then what is it? Did you not use contraception, or did you not deceive me?"
"I...I...I...I didn't mean to," Wanwan said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing how pitiful Wanwan looked, Kangxi subconsciously wanted to help her up, but then he remembered that she had lied to him, so he restrained himself and didn't help her up.
Watching Kangxi's movements, Wanwan raised her hand and then lowered it again, tears finally streaming down her face.
At this moment, Tingyu added, "Your Majesty, the Empress is also doing this for the Fourth Prince."
Tingyu pleaded, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry with the Empress. She truly cares for you; otherwise, she wouldn't have given up her chance to have a child, Your Majesty..."
When Kangxi heard the maid still talking, he felt as if he had found an outlet for his anger and directly told the advisor, "Take this maid away."
The shopping cart immediately replied, "Yes, sir."
Upon hearing Kangxi's order, the advisor immediately pulled Tingyu outside, thus avoiding facing such a mortal scene himself.
Emperor Kangxi said, "Your Imperial Noble Consort, how dare you!"
