What's wrong with not allowing one concubine to have exclusive favor?
Cha Mei, perhaps being an observer, saw things more clearly and advised, "Your Majesty is not wrong, it's just that the Emperor's heart is biased, so naturally he thinks that whatever Your Majesty does is wrong. This servant thinks that Your Majesty should do nothing for now."
Anyway, I don't believe that this man can stay with only one woman. The ministers of the previous dynasty could tolerate the emperor's favoritism towards the imperial concubine for a while, but could they tolerate it forever? They are all waiting to send their daughters into the palace!
"Your Majesty should wait. Yongshou Palace will eventually rise and fall, and then the harem will naturally flourish with a hundred beauties. At that time, the Emperor will understand Your Majesty's good intentions."
The words that Ulanara used to teach Chamei, Chamei now takes, edits, and uses to comfort her.
The Empress's tone was somewhat weary: "You're right. I must remain composed. I was able to remain composed when I was the Fourth Prince's Consort, and now that I'm the Empress, I need to be even more composed."
Send someone to tell Mother to keep the household in line for now. I am not capable enough; if something really happens, the Emperor probably won't look out for me.
After all, she knew that the Ulanara family hadn't helped Yinzhen much over the years, and might even have been a hindrance.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cha Mei couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Actually, Your Majesty didn't need to be like this. It was all because Your Majesty's family was so disappointing that Your Majesty had to go through so much trouble.
The matter of Yinzhen's exclusive favor was reported to the former Consort De, now the Empress Dowager. Of course, Kangxi also heard about it.
The couple then called Yinzhen over one by one for questioning.
Yinzhen went to see Kangxi first.
Emperor Kangxi is now unable to exert himself. He can only walk for a short while each day with assistance, and spends most of his time in a wheelchair. He cannot write too much, and he feels tired after doing anything that requires too much energy.
Otherwise, Yinzhen's actions over the past two years would probably not have gone so smoothly; after all, he had taken down quite a few of Kangxi's confidants.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and peace."
Hearing his clear voice, Kangxi barely opened his eyes and said weakly, "You've come. Please sit down."
Yinzhen stood up and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Kangxi say unhurriedly, "I've heard that you dote on your Consort?"
Yinzhen's expression remained unchanged: "Father, it's just that there's no one in the harem who suits my taste. Only the Consort is somewhat to my liking. In addition, the Consort has rendered meritorious service, so I've visited her several times. It can't be considered that I have the sole favor."
Kangxi understood Yinzhen's tendency to favor women in certain phases, and didn't think he would lose his mind for women, but there were still some things he had to say.
"You are now the Emperor, and you must consider things carefully before acting. You cannot act impulsively. Although the Consort is a good girl, you must also consider the affairs of the court."
"Father is right, but I really have no interest in women and prefer to spend my time on state affairs. If we were to select new women to enter the palace, I'm afraid they would be neglected, which would not be good."
Kangxi said indifferently, "Whether they gain favor or not upon entering the palace is their own ability. If they are willing to enter, and they are not capable of gaining favor, it is not your fault."
Yinzhen looked enlightened and said, "Your subject has learned something."
