In the end, Youqing really didn't say anything more. Let them fix it! She didn't know what to do about her relationship with Kangxi. She would just take it one step at a time, and who knew how long he could hold out.

The garden is under construction. At Youqing's estate, Kangxi is increasingly acting as if he belongs to the family, coming over whenever he has free time. Recently, some people in the court have noticed this problem, but no one dares to inquire about Kangxi's whereabouts.
