The Qing Emperor liked Li Yunrui, but he did not take her feelings to heart. The Qing Emperor's true love was Ye Qingmei. Even though Li Yunrui had a deep love and admiration for the Qing Emperor and she tried to surpass Ye Qingmei to become the Qing Emperor's lover, the Qing Emperor saw her as a chess piece and did not take her feelings to heart. Thus, it could be said that the Qing Emperor did not like Li Yunrui very much.
