After thinking for a moment, Emperor Kangxi said, "I know about this matter. Prescribe medicine for the Consort properly and make sure she recovers."
The imperial physicians were relieved to hear this. Although the emperor might not care too much about this matter, she was, after all, a noble consort, and they were naturally at ease to hear this.
The imperial physicians replied, "This is our humble servant's mission."
Emperor Kangxi gave the palace eunuchs another warning, telling them to keep a close eye on the Tenth Prince and the Imperial Concubine, before turning and leaving.
Jingren Palace
Kangxi and Wanwan arrived at Jingren Palace. Wanwan was exhausted. She had been dozing off since waking up early in the morning and wanted to lie in bed and not get up, but Kangxi was still there, so she couldn't do that.
The other concubines were truly envious and tired of seeing the Emperor openly take the Imperial Noble Consort's hand and go to Jingren Palace with her.
Wanwan sat down on the soft couch and lay down. "Tingyu, your mistress is hungry. Get ready for a nap."
Tingyu knows Wanwan very well. "Yes, this servant will go and prepare it right away."
When Kangxi saw Wang Wan lie down without any semblance of imperial concubine demeanor, he smiled and sat down beside her, saying, "What's wrong? It seems the imperial concubine is exhausted today."
Wanwan glared at him irritably, then continued lying down. "I've never gotten up this early in the morning before, and I stayed up until noon. How can I not be tired?"
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed to have a son. He pulled Wanwan up and said, "Don't sleep yet. Let's think about how to reward the Imperial Concubine. She is already an Imperial Concubine, so her rank can't be promoted. Let's give her a good title first, and then reward her within the family."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan lay back down. "Hasn't His Majesty already made up his mind? Why are you asking me?"
Emperor Kangxi exclaimed, "Isn't this because I was thinking of giving the Imperial Noble Consort a title?"
Upon hearing this, Wanwan scoffed, "I am an Imperial Noble Consort. I can be given titles like Noble Lady, Attendant, or Concubine. But the titles of Consort and Noble Consort are either decided by the Imperial Household Department or by the Emperor himself."
"As for what the previous dynasty should think, that's a matter of marriage, and it has nothing to do with me."
Wanwan then remembered that the Imperial Concubine had given birth, and she hadn't sent any rewards yet. "Tingfeng, go to the storeroom and add three-tenths more to the Imperial Concubine's allowance, and send it to Yongshou Palace as my congratulations to the Imperial Concubine on the birth of her son."
Upon hearing her mistress's order, Tingfeng stood up and replied, "Yes, this servant will go and do it right away."
Looking at his Imperial Noble Consort's generous and virtuous demeanor, Emperor Kangxi was truly delighted. "I will take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, but you will have to think about this good title."
The title should be more prestigious, after all, she gave birth to a prince, it wouldn't be fair to just give her a title.
Wanwan looked at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty could have figured it out in a little more time. Why did you have to give this task to me? Besides, the Consort was happy to hear that Your Majesty had personally come up with this title for her."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi thought, "Is it that I don't want to think about it? It's just that I can't think of anything right now."
So all I could do was say, "I'm busy with the previous dynasty, so I'll leave this matter to you, Qingqing. Just say that I came up with it myself, and it'll be the same thing."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan could only think to herself: You are truly clever.
Wanwan wanted to ask if historical titles were two characters long, so she said, "Since titles are supposed to be prestigious, why not come up with a two-character title?"
