"The Imperial Household Department is very attentive, and I have no shortage of supplies. However, it is cold today, and the kitchen is far away. By the time I get the food back, it is cold. If possible, I would like to use the small house on the west side to make a small kitchen."
It's not a big deal. Kangxi said, "I grant your permission. I will have Liang Jiugong select two nannies who can cook."
Youqing was truly happy now: "Your Majesty, I thank you."
"A small kitchen, and you're so happy about it, you're so unambitious." As he spoke, Kangxi gently pinched Youqing's nose, his expression one of doting affection without him even realizing it.
Youqing, nestled in Kangxi's arms, laughed without a hint of arrogance and said, "This concubine is indeed without ambition. With Your Majesty by my side, what ambition do I need? I am already very satisfied as long as I can eat and drink well, and stay warm in summer and warm in winter."
Emperor Kangxi thought to himself, "If everyone in the harem thought the same way, then there would be peace and tranquility."
"It's good that you're easily satisfied! I'm sleepy, come with me to bed for a while."
Youqing was startled; it was afternoon, and the sky outside was still bright!
"Your Majesty!! It's not dark yet!" There's still the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace! She didn't care, but if the Empress Dowager heard about it, she would be accused of seducing the Emperor.
She didn't mind losing favor, but she was afraid of being targeted by someone like the Empress Dowager. A woman who had served three emperors and helped her sons and grandsons rise to power, her methods and scheming were extraordinary.
She feared that she would be killed before she could escape the palace.
Emperor Kangxi laughed loudly: "What are you saying! I've just been reading too many memorials and I'm a little sleepy. I know it's not dark yet, my beloved consort, don't worry, I won't do anything to you before dark."
Then he leaned close to her ear and said, "Shall we do it when it gets dark?"
Youqing, who was slightly sensitive to voices, couldn't take it anymore. The inappropriate words, coupled with the inappropriate yet magnetic and pleasant voice, were about to make her explode. Kangxi was toxic.
Then her face instantly turned bright red, and she said shyly, "Your Majesty, you are bullying me."
Kangxi continued to laugh: "My beloved consort, please don't wrong me. But since you've said so, I certainly can't have a bad reputation for nothing."
After saying that, he got up and picked up Youqing, who was already in his arms, and carried her to the bedside in the inner room.
