"It's been three months," Wanwan was a little surprised, but then she realized that they were keeping it from her and would reveal it once the pregnancy was stable.
But she didn't care later. Anyway, Kangxi had many sons. During the three years of mourning, although Kangxi visited the harem quite often, he didn't have any children. This child was only born after the mourning period ended.
"Then just reward them according to the usual amount. Tingyu, go to the storeroom and send over whatever you think is suitable."
Listening to the rain is "yes".
After the person left, Wanwan didn't look at the account book. Instead, she sat down on a recliner and thought that this must be the Fourteenth Prince, the Great General.
It seems this child will be given to Consort Jin to raise.
It's also possible that Consort Jin's health was affected because she didn't give birth to the eighth princess. She seems to be in good health now and doesn't have any problems.
Wanwan couldn't help but sigh that the connection between the Tong family and the Wuya family was truly profound, as they both adopted each other's eldest and second sons.
However, this had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care.
The mourning period has just ended, and the selection of consorts should begin. Although His Highness the Crown Prince's marriage will have to wait for three more years, the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince are all getting on in years, and it's time to settle down on their wives. Besides, there are also secondary wives to consider.
Emperor Kangxi had long ago said that he would arrange marriages for these three princes among the newly selected ladies-in-waiting. He originally intended to arrange marriages for the sixth and seventh princes as well, but Wanwan declined because the sixth prince was still too young.
Emperor Kangxi had not yet refuted this, after all, the Sixth Prince had four sons who were not yet married, so there was no rush.
Meanwhile, every official's family is also putting in their best effort to secure a consort for a prince in this selection process, whether it be a primary consort or a secondary consort, or even just a member of the imperial clan.
Almost all those who had the means sent their daughters there; if they were lucky, they could get into either the Kangxi Emperor's harem or a prince's residence.
Of course, the most sought-after are the princes' primary wives and secondary wives.
As the Imperial Noble Consort, Wanwan had to worry a lot. Since the Empress Dowager didn't manage affairs, she had to do everything herself.
Wanwan was also carefully selecting, after all, one of them was her son.
As for the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, they will be chosen by Consort Rong, the Empress Dowager, and Consort Yi. Once the candidates are selected, they will be presented to Wanwan for her approval, and then Wanwan will present them to Emperor Kangxi.
The imperial concubine selection began in full swing, with Consort Rong, the Empress Dowager, and Consort Yi constantly summoning the legitimate daughters of prominent families.
She was single-mindedly focused on choosing a capable primary wife for her son.
Wanwan didn't get involved in this, since the final decision rested with Kangxi anyway, and the choices they made might not be useful anyway.
But now she has a problem that has stumped her: should she betroth the original Empress Xiaojingxian to Yinzhen?
It seems that their relationship is not very good, and they only treat each other with polite formality.
Emperor Yongzheng was not very satisfied with his empress, but he couldn't find fault with her either.
It seems that when Empress Xiaojingxian died, Emperor Yongzheng did not attend her funeral, citing poor health.
After the burial, he said he was feeling better. It seems best not to keep this ill-fated couple together.
Besides, Yinzhen also has his little rice cake. When he gets a deep relationship with his concubine and they address each other as husband and wife, the primary wife will be even more embarrassed.
Wanwan learned all this from the system, and after hearing it, her opinion of this fourth son changed.
If you say he's affectionate, then what he showed his wife, who shared his hardships, was nothing more than respect—he couldn't even offer her basic respect.
The author has already started planning the next book. It was originally decided that the second book would be about the Fourth Prince, and also that she promised a fan that she would write about a female-dominated society.
I need a few days to come up with an outline first. The reason is that Zhao Hongfei has been dominating my Douyin (TikTok) feed these past few days. I'm totally obsessed with him.
The author will let you know when they start a new book.
Please give us more support, everyone!
Let's get this love going!
