Seeing that things were almost settled, Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. The marriages of her two sons were now resolved.
That afternoon, Rongfei also brought the list of nearby candidates he had chosen for the Third Prince to Jingren Palace.
Actually, she could have given the list directly to Emperor Kangxi, since Consort Rong was, after all, a concubine. However, for many years, the entire harem had been under the control of Wang Wan, and Consort Rong did not want to offend Wanwan. So she took the list directly to Jingrong Palace. Besides, she couldn't change the final result, as it was decided by Emperor Kangxi.
After Consort Rong gave him the list, he said, "Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."
Wanwan looked at the list and thought it was alright. The family matters were the same as the two he had summoned. "How can this be considered a trouble? I also need to consult with the Emperor."
After Consort Rong left, Consort Yi did not attend the Fifth Prince's marriage ceremony. The Empress Dowager was helping to keep an eye on things, so there was no need for her to participate. Although she was the Fifth Prince's birth mother, the Fifth Prince had not been by her side since childhood. She could help keep an eye on things, but she could not make the decisions.
However, after the Empress Dowager learned about Consort Rong's matter, she also took the list to Wanwan's Jingren Palace and asked her to take it to the Emperor so that they could make a decision together. Wanwan looked at the four lists in her hands.
The next day, Tingyu was sent to the Qianqing Palace to invite the Emperor. It was in the afternoon, and they discussed the matter, although it would actually take quite some time.
After Emperor Kangxi finished reviewing the memorials in the afternoon, he went to Jingren Palace.
Following the order of seniority, Wanwan first presented the candidates for the Third Prince's consort, saying, "These are the emperors chosen by Consort Rong. Which one do you think is suitable?"
Kangxi glanced at them and saw that almost all of them were the legitimate daughters of high-ranking officials. Rong Fei had long since fallen out of favor in recent years, but after all, he had given birth to six sons and one daughter for Kangxi. In his spare time, Kangxi would still have a meal with him, which could be considered as giving face to the Third Prince.
Looking at the list on the paper, "Niohuru clan, Magiya clan, Dong'e clan," Kangxi placed the list on the table and said, "Consort Rong certainly knows how to choose people."
Wanwan could tell at a glance that Kangxi was not actually very satisfied with the candidates on the list, because the daughters of these families all held high positions of power.
But Wanwan still advised, "After all, she is a prince's wife. No matter how good her family background is, she is worthy of her."
Emperor Kangxi agreed with this statement, saying that anyone who was worthy of his son, even the best one, would be a suitable match.
Kangxi hesitated for a moment, and Wanwan said, "How about we go to Zhongcui Palace later to discuss it with Consort Rong?"
Looking at the list, Kangxi said, "Let's go with Dong E clan. I won't go to Zhongcui Palace to discuss it. I'll just issue the decree directly when the time comes."
Wanwan saw that Kangxi had made his decision and didn't say anything. Then she took out the list of candidates for the Fourth Prince's consort, and there was only one person, Shushu Gioro.
Kangxi looked at Wanwan with some surprise. "Why is there only one person? Didn't you choose a few more?"
Wanwan took a sip of tea. "I chose one. I picked a few, but this one is the one that I like the most."
Yesterday, I arranged for Yinzhen to meet her, and he seemed to like her quite a bit.
"This one is settled. You just need to scare the emperor when the time comes."
After listening, Kangxi laughed and said, "You just decided on the person directly and let me issue the decree, without intending for me to intervene."
Wanwan looked at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty is busy with countless affairs of state. How can you be disturbed by such a trivial matter?"
Besides, your daughter-in-law hardly spends any time with you, but spends a lot of time with me, her mother-in-law.
She has to be someone I click with, otherwise I'll end up being a wicked mother-in-law and my daughter-in-law will be a wicked daughter-in-law.
Babies, thank you for your support.
