The two embraced tenderly for a while, then Kangxi smiled and left. He needed to go to the Qianqing Palace to see what good things were there to bring to his Imperial Noble Consort.
Although I was happy, the report hadn't been approved yet, and I still had work to do.
Qianqing Palace
Emperor Kangxi himself selected suitable items from his private treasury. This child, like Xiao Liu, was someone he had been looking forward to. He originally thought that after Xiao Liu was born, he would soon give Xiao Liu a younger brother, but unexpectedly, he waited for four or five years.
He had worked hard for a long time just a few days ago, so now he naturally needs to be coaxed.
"Liang Jiugong, what do you think Jingren Palace is still lacking?"
Emperor Kangxi looked left and right through his private treasury, but he couldn't find anything suitable for Wanwan. Wanwan was simply much richer than him; whatever he had, Wanwan basically had too.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jiugong was at a loss for words. The items in the Emperor's private treasury were all top-tier treasures, each one incredibly precious.
But if the Imperial Noble Consort lacked something, he really couldn't think of anything, so he could only suggest things that women generally like: "Your Majesty, how about sending the Imperial Noble Consort some jewelry and newly presented tribute fabrics? After all, what woman doesn't love beauty?"
When Kangxi heard this, he thought it made sense, but then he thought, "The Imperial Noble Consort has a shop called Zhenbaozhai, which makes all kinds of jewelry. As long as it is popular in the capital, it will be the first one sent to her. No, no, that's not sincere enough. I'll think of another one."
Liang Jiugong was also helpless after hearing this. "Which woman in the harem doesn't happily accept the Emperor's reward? Only the Imperial Noble Consort dares to complain."
Liang Jiugong could only smile wryly and say, "Your Majesty, this servant does not know what the Imperial Noble Consort lacks," and then lowered his head.
Kangxi thought about it and agreed. How could he know what the Imperial Noble Consort lacked? She clearly lacked nothing.
While Kangxi was still looking in the private treasury, he said, "Then go and pick out some rewards for the Imperial Noble Consort, three times more generous than before, since the Tenth Prince has just been born. As for the Imperial Noble Consort's rewards, I will choose them myself, so I don't need you to."
Upon hearing this, Liang Jiugong felt as if he had been granted a pardon. "Yes, this servant will go and select some precious items to send to the Imperial Concubine."
Kangxi continued looking at the valuable items in the private treasury, saying, "Go, go."
Flipping left and right, still no suitable ones, then send more. Just like the Imperial Noble Consort said, even if she doesn't need them, they can still be used as betrothal gifts for her son and dowry for her daughter.
If she gives birth to a daughter this time, she will be a true "legitimate" princess, a princess of the first rank.
So with a wave of his hand, he picked out many treasures that the children could use, and that Wanwan could use; they were all top-quality treasures.
In the end, there were so many that they had to be packed in boxes. In the past, when giving rewards, everyone would carry them on a tray, but only when giving rewards to Wanwan would they use boxes.
"Liang Jiugong, have you made your selections? If you have, come over and organize these, then send them to Jingren Palace."
Liang Jiugong ran over and was shocked to see what his emperor had picked out. Had a third of the private treasury been emptied out?
Liang Jiugong's lips twitched. "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too much?"
"What's too much? Even more imperial concubines would be worth it."
Liang Jiugong naturally knew that the Imperial Noble Consort was worthwhile, but he hadn't chosen nearly as many for the Noble Consort. The difference in rank between those sent to the Noble Consort after she gave birth to a prince and those sent to the Imperial Noble Consort when she was pregnant was enormous.
Liang Jiugong could only beg for mercy from Emperor Kangxi, and then said, "Your Majesty, the things I chose for the Imperial Noble Consort are all suitable, but if I send too many to the Imperial Noble Consort, will it displease her? After all, the Imperial Noble Consort just gave birth to the Tenth Prince."
