"I heard from the errand boy that His Majesty thinks the snowman the young lady built is well, and that the black pearls are perfect for making the snowman's eyes."

With just over a month until the end of the year, rumors of a major conferment ceremony at the end of the year have been circulating. Even those with the ability dare not make any big moves, for fear of ruining their image in Kangxi's mind and being left behind during the ceremony.
It should be noted that Emperor Kangxi was not particularly generous in awarding ranks.
