With a gentle smile on her face, Xu Lejin said shyly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It is normal for me to have cold hands and feet after giving birth due to blood deficiency. I will recover in a year or two."

"Um."

Kangxi responded and secretly remembered that Xu Lejin's hands were ice-cold.

After dinner, Kangxi looked at Xu Lejin thoughtfully. "My beloved consort, Consort Tongjia of Chengqian Palace is bedridden. This afternoon, my uncle Tong Guowei submitted a memorial to the palace, requesting that my second cousin, Xianyu, enter the palace to accompany Consort Tongjia."

"My second cousin, Xianyu, is young and has been spoiled by her uncle and aunt. If you encounter her in the palace in the future, my dear consort, please avoid her if possible."

Xu Lejin was surprised, but on the surface she was filled with fear and trepidation.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders and will certainly not have any direct conflict with Princess Tongjia."

Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily, gazing at Xu Lejin with doting affection.

Xu Lejin blushed deeply and whispered in a voice barely audible, "Your Majesty, is Princess Tongjia, who has entered the palace to accompany the Empress of Chengqian Palace, staying in Chengqian Palace?"

"Chengqian Palace is one of the Six Eastern Palaces, the residence of the imperial concubines. Princess Tongjia, the Second Princess..."

With a hesitant look on her face, Xu Lejin took a deep breath.

Then, Xu Lejin said in a low voice, "Although Princess Tongjia is Your Majesty's cousin, boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven. If Your Majesty goes to Chengqian Palace to visit the Consort of Chengqian Palace that day, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Princess Tongjia to stay in Chengqian Palace?"

After speaking, Xu Lejin lowered her head slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Emperor Kangxi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke loudly, "My beloved consort has considered everything carefully. My second cousin, Xianyu, indeed cannot live in Chengqian Palace. Not only does Consort Tongjia reside there, but also Consort Hanyan."

"I remember Qichun Garden in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden. The houses there are spacious. When my second cousin, Xianyu, came to the palace, I let her live in Qichun Garden."

Xu Lejin's face showed a gentle expression.

"Your Majesty is wise. Princess Tongjia will be grateful to Your Majesty for moving into Qichun Garden."
