Xu Lejin held her head in her hands and pondered for three days and three nights.

Early morning of the fourth day

Xu Lejin had just gotten up when Ru Hua's eyes turned serious. She stammered, "Your Majesty, yesterday the Emperor favored another palace maid in Consort Hui's palace and bestowed upon her the title of Lady."

"Yes, I understand."

Xu Lejin gave a curt reply and asked numbly, "How old is this newly appointed concubine in Consort Hui's palace? Judging from Consort Hui's personality, she must be quite young!"

"Your Majesty, Consort Hong is fourteen years old this year."

With a cold laugh, Xu Lejin pursed her lips and remained silent until Ruhua and Nongying finished helping her with her makeup. Only then did she solemnly instruct the palace maids to go to Yanxi Palace and invite Consort Hui over.

Thirteen or fourteen years old, just the right age for a young girl, Consort Hui,

Consort Hui's behavior is becoming increasingly outrageous. She must severely reprimand Consort Hui and tell her about the things Consort Hui's good son, the Second Prince, has done among the princes.

In the afternoon, Consort Hui reluctantly arrived at Xu Lejin's Yikun Palace, where she was given a severe scolding by Xu Lejin. She also learned that her beloved son, who was only ten years old, had already learned how to favor palace maids at the Prince's residence.

Consort Hui returned to Yanxi Palace in a daze, both shocked and furious. Soon, a dark wind entered her body, and she fell ill and was bedridden!

The rumors in the palace about Consort Hui recommending young palace maids to serve Emperor Kangxi spread like wildfire. Even the princes' quarters were filled with crazy gossip. The Empress Dowager was furious and summoned Emperor Kangxi to Cining Palace to give him a stern reprimand.

Only then did Kangxi suddenly come to his senses and realize how absurd he had been, actually...
