Princess Shumulu was considered to be a fairly suitable candidate for him.
In addition, although her family background is not bad, it is not outstanding. Choosing such a wife should be a good fit.
Wang Shu: "Are you sure?"
"I would be grateful if my mother could help me."
"Alright, Mother will go find your Emperor Father right now."
After Yinfu left, Wangshu personally made soup and had it sent to Kangxi. This soup was one she learned from her grandmother in her previous life, and she loved drinking it herself, always feeling that it was very different. Coincidentally, Kangxi also loved drinking it.
After finishing his drink, Emperor Kangxi smiled and put down his bowl and spoon, saying, "This soup is truly worthy of being personally developed by Consort Chun. No matter how hard the imperial chefs try, they can't replicate this flavor."
Liang Jiugong smiled and continued, "His Majesty always says that Consort Chun has a clear mind, so the things she makes are naturally extraordinary and different from the ordinary. How could ordinary people learn the essence of them?"
"You're right, there's not much to do today, let's proceed to Qixiang Palace."
When Kangxi arrived at Qixiang Palace, Wangshu greeted him as always.
Time passed, but the years did not leave many marks on Wangshu's face. Instead, they refined her temperament, making Kangxi more and more accustomed to her presence.
"My beloved concubine summoned me with a bowl of soup. Is it for the sake of choosing a consort for Yinfu?"
Wang Shu smiled and sat down next to him, holding his hand: "Your Majesty is wise; you guessed my purpose right away."
In Kangxi's eyes, Wangshu was always easy to understand. When other concubines sent soup, he suspected that they had impure intentions. But when Wangshu sent soup, even if she had a purpose, Kangxi felt that she was not pretentious and was very cute.
"Which princess has caught your eye, my beloved?"
Wang Shu shook her head: "It wasn't me who chose her, it was Yin Fu. As you know, Yin Fu is a very opinionated person. I thought that since his future wife is someone I would live with, I let him choose for himself, and he chose Princess Shumulu."
Emperor Kangxi couldn't immediately recall who Princess Shumulu was, given the large number of women selected for the imperial harem.
Although Xu Yuanmeng was nominally under Emperor Kangxi's patronage, his official rank was not very high. Emperor Kangxi intended to choose a consort for Yinfu from a family with a slightly higher social standing.
Over the years, the Dai family has developed reasonably well, but its potential is limited. Wang Shu, by all accounts, belongs to the group whose family background is not particularly outstanding.
"Which Princess Shumulu?"
Wang Shu looked slightly bewildered: "She is the daughter of Mr. Xu from the Imperial Study. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this choice? I don't know much about the previous dynasty. I only heard Yin Fu say that Mr. Xu is a good teacher."
Kangxi finally recognized him: Xu Yuanmeng. His Manchu surname was Shumulu. He had almost forgotten.
Upon recalling this, Kangxi's first reaction was to shake his head: "His family background is too humble; it's too unfair to Yinfu."
Wang Shu feigned a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter if their family background is a little humble, as long as Yin Fu likes them. I've inquired about Consort Shumulu, and she's quite beautiful. I don't have many requirements for Yin Fu's wife, I just hope they can be a harmonious couple. Your Majesty, please grant my request!"
