The eunuch Sun Yaoting said Puyi would rarely spend the night with Wanrong in the Palace of Gathered Elegance. Wanrong never closed the door at night, but only drew the door curtain. On rare occasions when Puyi did come the door would be closed and the maid on night watch sent away. Wanrong's face often had the traces of tears. Reginald Fleming Johnston attempted to improve the relationship between Puyi and Wanrong as well as to get Wanrong's entourage to mix with Puyi's, ultimately Johnston did not get very far. Johnston himself thought that Puyi had been married too young.
