After saying this, Kangxi held Xu Lejin's hand and gave her a look that said, "Take it easy."
Xu Lejin said gently, “It is their good fortune that Your Majesty likes them. Today, I will take this opportunity to present them to Your Majesty.”
"Lan Cui, Xiao Lian, you must serve the Emperor wholeheartedly from now on."
Lan Cui and Xiao Lian could not hide their excitement. They immediately knelt down, kowtowed and thanked the Emperor, saying, "We will follow the teachings of the Noble Consort and serve His Majesty with all our heart."
Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily.
After a moment's hesitation, Kangxi spoke, "These two women, given to me by the Imperial Concubine, are exceptionally beautiful and charming; it wouldn't be suitable for them to be palace maids before the Emperor. Liang Jiugong..."

"In addition, the eighth prince born to the Wei family, who was the fifth prince in order of birth, was given the name Yinzhi."
Xu Lejin's expression froze.
Yinzhi? Wei Shi
According to historical rumors, the Eighth Prince of Kangxi, Yinzhi, was born to a lowly maid in the Imperial Household Department and was known as the Eighth Prince of Virtue. He was also Qingchuan's husband in the TV series "Palace 2".
Is he also the brother-in-law of Ma'ertai Ruoxi in "Scarlet Heart"?
No, only the name is the same, everything else is different.
Historically, Yinzhi was the Eighth Prince, but now he is the Fifth Prince. His birth mother was not favored by the Empress Dowager.
