But since Kangxi has said he likes you, Wanwan naturally has to reply, "Qingqing also likes Xuan Ye, very much."

In fact, Wanwan had already planned to 'keep' her distance from Kangxi (in order to protect herself).

Because Kangxi has already influenced Wanwan, especially his future favorite concubine, Consort Yi.

Because Emperor Kangxi treated Lady Guoluo somewhat well, Wanwan was unhappy and decided to cut her losses in time.

Even though Wanwan knew this was wrong, she couldn't control her heart and was afraid of getting hurt in the future, so she planned to stop loving Kangxi. But tonight, Kangxi confessed his love to Wanwan again.

Although Emperor Kangxi treated Lady Guoluo well, it was far less than what he had done for himself. Apart from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager, the only other women in the harem were from Lady Guoluo.

The other concubines only got to choose their items after Wanwan had finished.

If Wanwan liked it, Kangxi would give it all to her. The other concubines would choose what was left over, even Consort Tong.

Emperor Kangxi was indeed good to her, but he treated his other concubines no worse. It's just that they weren't as good as she was.

If Kangxi was only kind to them, Wanwan wouldn't really mind (she entered the palace for her family, and while she didn't receive favor, a good life was fine). But when Kangxi showed concern for someone like the future Consort Yi, Wanwan was very bothered. It was like…

P.S.: Some readers asked me why I had Wanwan adopt Yinzhen. I've already mentioned it before; the general plot won't change, so Yinzhen will still be the emperor in the end. The author has other plans for the female lead's child. Of course, there's another reason: the author really likes Yinzhen. I can't help it, I like him, so I wanted to give him a good childhood, hehe (?▽?).
