"I will begin preparations for the wedding."
Youqing was taken aback: "A wedding? Isn't that too early?"
It was just a trial; I didn't say I actually wanted to marry him.
“It’s not too early. We’ve known each other for so many years, and we’ve gotten to know each other better in the last two years. We can start preparing now,” Kangxi said with some excitement.
Youqing was so pleased that he didn't refuse.
She's at an age where she should have a man.
That would be just right.
"You can decide what to prepare!"
Seeing that she did not refuse, Kangxi immediately pulled her into his arms.
Youqing struggled and said, "Let me go!"
"I won't let go. You finally agreed, but I won't let go." Kangxi was so happy that he forgot to refer to himself as "朕" (the imperial "I").
"Are you really that happy?"
"Of course, I have wanted to hold you like this for a long time, and today I have finally gotten my wish. Don't refuse."
Okay, let him hold it for a while!
However, this "a while" is actually quite a long time.
"That's about it."
"Wait a little longer."

The court officials all thought that Kangxi had gone mad. Why did he suddenly and indirectly dismiss the harem? Wasn't that insane?
Families with daughters in the harem couldn't help but inquire further, but after all their inquiries, they only received one sentence from their daughters: "Do not act rashly."
Kangxi then spread the word, letting those families with daughters in the harem know about some of the things their daughters had done. He then gave them some rewards, a combination of a slap and a sweet treat, and the matter was over.
However, this past is only in the open; many people are watching from the sidelines. After all, the harem and the court have been inseparable since ancient times, and an empty harem is absolutely unacceptable.
