She has been a concubine for seven or eight years. Considering that Chuyun has served me all these years, she has worked hard and made meritorious contributions. Therefore, I have decided to promote her to the rank of concubine and grant her residence in the East Annex of Yikun Palace to live with you."

Xu Lejin respectfully replied, "Yes."
"Your Majesty, please take care. Your humble servant respectfully sees you off."
