When Emperor Kangxi found out, for reasons unknown, he went to Jingren Palace to find Wanwan, and the two parted on bad terms over the matter.
Now, the eleventh prince is doing very well in the court. Wanwan has two princes under her name and a crown prince with whom she has a good relationship. Kangxi naturally wants to find ways to suppress her, and this matter is the fuse.
Emperor Kangxi said that Consort Wan was still young and did not understand the rules. It was acceptable to punish her with a deduction of her salary and copying palace regulations, but there was no need to confine her to her quarters.
Kangxi's intention, both overt and covert, was to favor Consort Wan and make her retract her decision to confine herself to her quarters.
But Wanwan hadn't suffered much injustice since entering the palace, and now she was only being punished for disobeying a concubine.
Emperor Kangxi confronted her, which he found unbearable. It wasn't that he felt wronged, but rather that he couldn't allow her to lose her dignity as an Imperial Noble Consort.
Did the two end up arguing? Kangxi said that Wanwan was jealous and hadn't been very virtuous in recent years.
When Wanwan heard this, she was truly disgusted by Kangxi. In the past few years, she had never asked how many women from Jiangnan he had taken in.
Besides, she has managed the harem so well over the years. Even if she has not made any great contributions, she has certainly worked hard. How can you say that she is not "virtuous"?
In the end, the two could only part on bad terms, but Kangxi still did not issue an edict to lift Wan Changzai's confinement.
However, after this incident, Wanwan's Jingren Palace was closed. Wanwan knew that she came from a good family and had two princes behind her, so Kangxi was not at ease.
In the past few years, she has grown to dislike Kangxi more and more, so she felt that forcing the palace to close was a good thing, as it brought her peace and quiet.
When the women of the harem learned of this, their first reaction was that they were happy that the Imperial Noble Consort, who had been weighing on them for more than twenty years, was finally no longer such a burden to them.
On the other hand, they also felt Kangxi's coldness. Everyone in the harem could see how close Kangxi and the Imperial Noble Consort were at that time.
Especially after Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, he enjoyed the emperor's exclusive favor for nearly a few years. However, as the factional struggles intensified, didn't Emperor Kangxi eventually fall out with the Imperial Noble Consort?
Therefore, even the best relationships cannot exist normally under suspicion.
When Emperor Kangxi learned of the closure of Jingren Palace, he paused for a moment but said nothing more.
Although Wanwan has closed the palace, the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince can still come and go normally when they come to pay their respects to her, and she also firmly holds the power in the palace.
Wanwan didn't let herself be idle either. Although she had a system, she rarely relied on it.
She accomplished most of it through her own abilities, because she didn't know how long the system could stay with her, since what she learned was ultimately her own.
If you rely on the system for a long time, what will happen when the system is gone? You won't be able to do anything.
So during her confinement, she sought out his trusted imperial physician, Physician Qian, and began learning medicine in her spare time, just in case she needed it someday.
Although she has superpowers, she uses them too much and it's easy for her to be discovered, so it's better to be cautious.
They also found a master perfumer to teach him perfumery, as well as embroidery and needleworkâbasically anything they thought would be useful, he was slowly learning.
She has learned a lot of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although she is not very proficient in chess, she can still play.
When she has nothing to do, she will often ask Yueji to listen to music and watch dances. She just relaxes however she wants and doesn't care at all how the people in the harem view her.
After Wanwan closed her palace, Kangxi never visited her again on the first or fifteenth of the month. For Wanwan, this was for the best, since she disliked Kangxi anyway, especially in his later years, which were truly indescribable.
