Ye Zao rose from Fourth Master's embrace, bowing earnestly, "I will heed His Majesty's admonition; this consort has remembered."
Seeing her so serious, Fourth Master also supported her, "As long as you remember, that's good. Get up."
Only then did Ye Zao sit back down in Fourth Master's embrace, hugging his neck, "Thank you."
Thank you for being so kind to me.
Fourth Master's words were not meant to instruct Ye Zao on how to honor the late Emperor or how to sing praises for him.
Rather, what Fourth Master was saying was actually all for Ye Zao's own good.
Ye Zao didn't recall where she read the saying, "Inferior people break rules, average people follow rules, superior people make the rules."
Although not completely apt, when applied here, it was extremely fitting.
Indeed, among the women in the imperial harem, how many genuinely respected and were devoted to Emperor Kangxi?
