Xiuning remained noncommittal about Chunyu's words; such matters were inherently difficult to explain.

Moreover, no matter how hard Xiuning tries to help others, she has to make sure she has her own affairs settled first.

It's like when there's a good deal, you have to take full advantage of it yourself before you think about others.

However, compared to others, Xiuning has some foresight and sense of propriety.

There was no instance of insatiable greed that would have incurred the wrath of the emperor and the resentment of the people in the harem.

This is why other people who were in charge in the past didn't last long.

Everyone wants to be greedy and can't help but take more for themselves. They understand the principle of slow and steady wins the race, but very few can actually do it.

Therefore, Xiu Ning's performance stood out.

Now, Xiuning has long been synonymous with reliability in Kangxi's mind. Palace power may be temporarily handed over to others, but it will eventually return to her hands because she is the most fair and reliable in handling affairs, thus reducing the disputes in the harem.

See, this is the importance of creating a persona.

Xiuning had set the traps early, and now was the harvest season.

Others may be jealous or resentful, but in the end they can only suppress their feelings, because the power had once been given to them, but they themselves failed to live up to it.

“Who wouldn’t feel wronged living in this harem?”

It's just that not all grievances are the same. As long as the person living in the Qianqing Palace can understand the grievances Xiuning has suffered, then all the hardships Xiuning endured before will not have been in vain.

"Alright, take away the accounts and writing materials from the table, and pick them out as soon as possible according to the marks I have made."

Shaking her arms and rubbing her shoulders, Xiu Ning felt that she was getting old and could no longer work as hard as before.

She had to take good care of her health; compared to Emperor Kangxi, she had to outlive him.
