"Master, what's wrong?"

Wei Zhu naturally noticed the sounds coming from the pavilion, but it wasn't something he should be asking. However, it seemed everyone knew that the Emperor was inside, but he didn't know about the woman.

"It's nothing, go and invite the Empress over!" He gave up and let another master take charge.

"Yes, this servant will go right away." Wei Zhu walked towards Kunning Palace without stopping. When Empress Niohuru arrived, a second sound rang out from inside, much louder than the first time.

"Go and let Princess Duanhui go back first. Guo Luoluo has gone to Consort Yi's place. Consort Yi will let her stay for a few days before she goes back." Empress Niohuru looked at the yellow tent in front of her with a pale face.

"Yes, sir!" Wei Zhu thought that he would need to eat two big bowls of rice after his shift, which was really exhausting.

"Once things stop inside, move them back to the Qianqing Palace! The woman can remain in the side hall until the Emperor wakes up, then we'll deal with her."

Empress Niohuru felt disgusted. Even her own wife was involved. How could she have ever fallen for such an emperor? Fortunately, it's not too late to discover his true nature now!

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest? Strong tea is bad for your health." It took several hours of work to move the two people back to the Qianqing Palace.

"Very well, inform me as soon as His Majesty wakes up!"

Kangxi will be taking a day off tomorrow and will not need to handle any affairs. He will only bestow some New Year's gifts upon his ministers. It's the New Year, and such a thing has happened. I'm thinking to myself, Your Majesty, just go to sleep! I just don't know how you will react tomorrow, or whether you will regret what you did tonight!

The next day, as soon as Wanyi woke up, she heard this shocking news from Wei Zhu, and she spat out the porridge in her mouth.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" Granny Kong asked worriedly as she entered from outside and saw that Wanyi had made a mess of porridge all over the table.

"I am fine, I was just too surprised. Isn't Guo Luoluo Yuting a widow?"

She knew it! How come Emperor Kangxi summoned a widow to the palace in his past life? It turns out there was such a romantic affair involved!

"Yes! I heard that Lady Guoluo came back looking for her hairpin or something, and happened to run into the Emperor alone in the pavilion. The Emperor was drunk, and somehow they ended up rolling around together." Xiao Dengzi also felt that knowing one of the Emperor's shameful secrets made his life complete.

"Why would His Majesty be left alone in the pavilion?" This is against etiquette! Could there be something unspeakable going on inside?

"It was the Emperor who ordered Eunuch Wei to escort the imperial relatives out of the palace. He found the other servants too noisy and sent them all back to the Qianqing Palace. As a result, Wei got drunk. Liang Jiugong had to arrange for the imperial sedan chair. When he returned, it was already done. The servants rushed to pull them away, and in the end, they had to ask the Empress to handle it."

When he received the news, he was even more shocked than Wanyi. This was not only a subject's wife, but also a widow. Tsk tsk, the emperor really knows how to play games.

"This matter is best kept to ourselves. Keep it a secret from me. If it gets out and you lose your heads, I won't be able to save you!" Wanyi also thought that Kangxi was really a scoundrel.

"This servant understands!" Little Dengzi said gratefully. He knew that Wanyi was reminding him not to reveal the matter, or it would bring him death.

"Go and give Consort Yi some information!" Wanyi said mischievously, partly to prepare Consort Yi mentally, and partly because she wanted to watch the show.

"Yes, this servant will go right away!" Furong replied and left.

"If the Emperor has taken the widow's hand, that Guo Luoluo woman will probably not survive. The Emperor is not at fault, so the fault lies with Guo Luoluo woman. However, if the Emperor acknowledges it, then she will enter the harem."

In Granny Kong's memory, such a thing had never happened before. Wasn't the late Emperor's Consort Dong E also a member of the imperial clan? Yet she still rose to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort.

"I believe she will enter the harem; that was her original intention!" Her goal was to replace her sister, Consort Yi.

"What's wrong with me?" Kangxi rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit sore and confused from drinking.

"Your Majesty, you're awake. Shall you get up?" Liang Jiugong asked cautiously.

"Rise! How did I get back to the palace last night?" He had no recollection of it, but he thought he saw Wan'er!

"Is there anything wrong, Consort Wan?" Kangxi suddenly asked a question that Liang Jiugong didn't quite understand. Shouldn't he have asked Guo Luoluo, the concubine in the side hall?

"Consort Wan returned safely to Yongshou Palace before the banquet ended last night. Does His Majesty wish to summon Consort Wan to accompany him?" Liang Jiugong thought, perhaps the Emperor misses Consort Wan.

"No need, I was just asking. Tell me about what happened last night!" Looking at Liang Jiugong, who seemed hesitant to speak, he felt that something must have happened last night!

"Last night, His Majesty... His Majesty was in the front pavilion, and he had sex with Lady Guo Luoluo," Liang Jiugong said, downplaying the seriousness of the matter, hoping that Kangxi would remember what had happened.

"Guoluo Luoshi? She is...?"

Kangxi put the handkerchief he was using to wipe his face into the golden basin, then pondered for a moment. His memory returned, and he realized that he hadn't just had a wet dream last night, but had actually slept with a woman.

"Guoluo Yuting's father was Guoluo Sanguanbao, the eldest daughter of a concubine of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner. Last year, she married into the Xitala family, the third son of Princess Duanhui, Bach. Not long after his marriage, Bach went to the battlefield of the Three Feudatories and died in battle." Your Majesty! Don't worry, that's a widow!

When Kangxi first heard that she was Consort Yi's sister, he didn't think much of it, thinking that it would be good for Consort Yi to have a companion. However, when he heard what came next, his face turned ashen, especially when he heard that she was a widow!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects and wish you good health!"

At this moment, the Empress walked in and saw the servants helping Kangxi put on his clothes. She pretended not to see them and did not step forward to help. In the past, she would have already helped him.

"Why has the Empress come?" He was already in a bad mood, so his tone was inevitably a bit harsh.

“Last night, Liang Jiugong summoned me to oversee important matters. After finishing my work last night, it was already late, so I slept in the side room. I have already asked Eunuch Wei to inform Princess Duanhui that Lady Guoluo is temporarily staying with Consort Yi. The rest is up to Your Majesty to decide.”

If she had known it was about this, she would never have come. Just thinking about it now makes her feel disgusted. She doesn't know if it's because she's sick or because she finds Kangxi's actions disgusting.

"The Empress did a good job. I was also completely drunk. But how did that Lady Guoluo end up there?" Kangxi said as he walked toward the dining table, where a meal had already been set out.

"This servant heard from Princess Duanhui that Guo Luoluo was looking for a hairpin when she went back, and somehow ended up at the front pavilion. We will only know what happened after that by summoning Guo Luoluo."

Liang Jiugong didn't know how to address Guo Luoluo Yuting, so he just called her Guo Luoluo Shi. Logically, she should be called the Third Madam Xitala, but now that the Emperor had favored her, her status had become awkward.

"Go see if she's awake yet. If she is, summon her here!" He hadn't figured out how to deal with her yet, so he decided to see what she had to say first.

"Yes, sir!" Liang Jiugong's steps became much lighter as he went out, after all, he could not bear the imperial majesty.
