"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Get up."
Consort Rong rose and greeted Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine selection has concluded today. I wonder what Your Majesty's plans are for the Third Prince's consort?"
Emperor Kangxi originally intended to choose Lady Dong'e for Yinzhi, but Lady Shumulu married into the imperial clan, and then Anningzhen unexpectedly appeared. Lady Dong'e was more dignified and steady, while Yinzhi preferred a more charming girl, which Emperor Kangxi knew.
Moreover, Emperor Kangxi secretly wanted to give Yinzhen some compensation.
"Are you satisfied with any of them?"
Consort Rong had met both Lady Dong'e and Lady Shumulu, and knew that her daughter-in-law was between the two. In terms of family background, Lady Dong'e was naturally better, but she loved her child more. Lady Shumulu was more beautiful, and she hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would get along well.
"Your Majesty, I think Princess Shumulu is quite good."
Kangxi did not answer her directly, but only said, "I understand."
After saying a few words, Kangxi left and then went to visit Consort Yi.
After leaving Consort Yi's residence, Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace, and then began preparing a series of imperial edicts.
The next day, Anning was still waiting at Yanhui Pavilion to be arranged to go home, but instead she received an imperial edict from Emperor Kangxi conferring her title.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial decree rattled off a long string of words, much of which Anning didn't understand. However, the gist of it was that the Emperor thought Ulanara was very good and granted her special permission to enter the palace as a concubine, with the rank of Consort and the title of Shu.
An Ning was completely dumbfounded after hearing the imperial edict.
She avoided the future emperor's harem like the plague, but then Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial edict that allowed her to enter the current emperor's harem. It was absolutely outrageous!
How can I describe this feeling?
I feel lost and confused.
As far as she knew, Emperor Kangxi was a long-lived emperor, but even if he lived a long life, he would still be forty years old this year, while the original owner of this body was only sixteen.
What's this? It's a generational difference!
How should she proceed in the future? There is not much room for advancement in Kangxi's harem. There are many princes and princesses, and they have all grown up. She has a good family background now, but in Kangxi's harem, it is believed that the better the family background, the shorter the lifespan.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life, and if possible, she hoped to live a better one...
"Princess Ulanara, it's time to receive the imperial decree."
The eunuch delivering the imperial decree smiled and offered a reminder.
An Ning immediately snapped out of her daze, her thoughts returning to their normal state, and she couldn't help but put on a smile.
"Your Majesty, I accept the imperial decree and thank you for your kindness. I was just too happy, please forgive me, sir."
This eunuch was personally arranged by Liang Jiugong. He vaguely knew that this man was extraordinary and favored by the emperor, so he naturally wouldn't blame him and immediately said a few words with a smile.
"His Majesty has decreed that the Princess be granted the privilege of returning home to recuperate for a month. After a month, the Imperial Household Department will arrange for Consort Shu to be brought back to the palace. His Majesty has also permitted the Princess to bring a dowry of a certain standard into the palace."
Upon hearing this, An Ning's smile became more genuine.
Surviving in the apocalypse is tough. Now that I've transmigrated here, I don't have to face those zombies every day. Being able to eat and drink my fill is already a blessing.
A good dowry means that, at least you won't have to worry about food, clothing, or daily necessities while living in the palace.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Please convey my thanks to Your Majesty on my behalf."
"You're too kind, Princess."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the father-in-law accepted the reward money and then left.
Just as Anning was still somewhat dazed, Chunlan spoke up: "Your Highness, I was just instructed by Steward Liang to accompany you home with Granny Wulan. Granny Wulan will be your tutor."
Anning nodded: "I'll have to trouble you and Granny from now on."
"Your Majesty is too kind. It's all my duty."
