"His Majesty is already burdened with the affairs of the court; how can we allow him to waste his energy on the trivial matters of the harem?"
Emperor Kangxi frowned and remained silent.
After a long while, Kangxi suddenly understood and laughed loudly: "What my beloved consort said is very true. I am the emperor, and my word is as good as gold. Since I have already bestowed upon them the titles of Lady-in-Waiting and Palace Ladies, then they are now members of the harem."
