When Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace, he was still at a loss. He really didn't know how to bring it up with the Crown Prince. It seemed that such matters were usually arranged by the mother.
Was he the first emperor to arrange such a thing for his son? He was so good to the crown prince, acting as both father and mother to him!
Kangxi beckoned to Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong immediately went to Kangxi. Ever since returning from Cining Palace, he had noticed that the emperor was acting strangely, pacing back and forth, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Liang Jiugong, go and select two palace maids from respectable families and with good looks!" Kangxi whispered to Liang Jiugong.
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Liang Jiugong suddenly understood. So that's what happened. Could it be that the concubines in the palace could no longer satisfy the emperor?
Besides, wasn't the imperial concubine selection just recently held? Many young women have already entered the harem, so why does the emperor still need to send him to find more?
"What kind of look is that?" Kangxi felt uncomfortable under Liang Jiugong's gaze and kicked Liang Jiugong in the buttocks.
"Your Majesty, you are truly vigorous and powerful!" Liang Jiugong said with a smile.
"Get out! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! Go now! Be careful not to let anyone know!" Kangxi instructed Liang Jiugong.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant knows! I will definitely not let any of the concubines know!" Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi with an "I understand" look in his eyes.
Emperor Kangxi was so angry he wanted to kick Liang Jiugong again. "Hurry up and go!"
"This servant will go immediately!"
"Wait a minute!" Kangxi called out to Liang Jiugong again, "Have Li Dequan bring the Crown Prince here!"
"Yes!" Liang Jiugong finally understood what was going on; the Emperor must have prepared it for the Crown Prince.
After the Crown Prince arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
"Baocheng is here, get up quickly!" Kangxi said to the Crown Prince with a smile.
The Crown Prince was somewhat at a loss when he saw Kangxi suddenly becoming very friendly towards him.
Emperor Kangxi walked to the Crown Prince's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "Bao has grown up!"
Emperor Kangxi sized up the Crown Prince and exclaimed, "He truly is my son!"
The Crown Prince felt a little uneasy under Kangxi's gaze. "Father, did you send someone to summon me here because of something?"
"Yes, something's happened!" Kangxi decided to get straight to the point. "You'll find out when Liang Jiugong returns!"
The Crown Prince looked at Kangxi's mysterious expression and had no idea what was going on.
Fortunately, Liang Jiugong returned soon.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here!" Liang Jiugong said respectfully.
"Bring the person in!" Kangxi said.
The Crown Prince also looked towards the doorway and saw Liang Jiugong enter with two palace maids behind him.
"This servant greets His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince!" The young palace maid bowed to Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince.
Kangxi approached the Crown Prince and put his arm around his shoulder. "Baocheng, what do you think of them?"
"Father, what do you mean by this?" The Crown Prince roughly guessed Kangxi's thoughts.
"Raise your head!" Kangxi said to the young palace maid.
The young palace maid raised her head slightly after hearing this, then quickly lowered it again.
Emperor Kangxi was quite satisfied with the two young palace maids. "Baocheng, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to be more mature! These two were personally chosen for you by Liang Jiugong at the Emperor's behest."
Once you've experienced life's events, you'll have truly grown up and become a real man!
From now on, these two will serve you in the room!
"Father, I have servants by my side!" the Crown Prince said. He didn't want any servants or maids at all. The only person he wanted to marry was He Xue. If He Xue knew that she had another woman by her side, she might ignore him.
He once said that his first and only woman was Xue.
"Haha! Haha! The way Father Emperor is talking about serving is different from the way you're talking about serving!" Kangxi laughed heartily upon hearing the Crown Prince's words.
The crown prince glanced at the two meek palace maids and felt a sense of disgust, just like when he saw Ulanara Rouze.
The crown prince suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, but quickly returned to normal.
The crown prince discovered that he could actually hear the inner thoughts of the two palace maids.
"I thought Steward Liang had summoned them for the Emperor! I didn't expect it was the Crown Prince!"
However, the Crown Prince is also a possibility. If they can give birth to the eldest son of a concubine before the Crown Princess, they might be able to be made a concubine after the Crown Prince ascends the throne.
Moreover, they were the Crown Prince's first women, so he certainly wouldn't mistreat them!
The crown prince had no idea what was going on. Why could he hear what these two people were thinking?
