"Yes, Your Majesty."
As night fell, Emperor Kangxi's imperial entourage arrived outside Yikun Palace. Xu Lejin, dressed in a peach-pink palace gown, was more beautiful than any flower, and she and the palace servants greeted Kangxi with smiles.

Under the flickering candlelight, Kangxi's gaze was fixed on Xu Lejin, and he laughed loudly, "My beloved consort, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
