Keep a low profile and let the soldiers benefit; that's the right thing to do. Don't think too much about anything else.
I'm not short of money, and my reputation is just so-so, so I don't care.
Kangxi felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. If they weren't at a banquet, he would have held her tightly and let her feel how excited he was.
"Okay, I'll listen to Jiaojiao!"
Those below watched the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort whispering to each other, and especially saw a hint of excitement on Kangxi's face. They were quite envious of their relationship.
The Empress Dowager left early as usual, and the Empress Dowager was not too late this time either. Not long after the Empress Dowager left, I also returned to Ning Shou Palace.

The others, however, were somewhat alarmed, especially the two wives, who suddenly felt a bit nervous.
