Recently, Hongli has been busy with court affairs and has not had much time to come to the backyard.

After all, it was already the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, and the current emperor's health was deteriorating, even more so than in the twelfth year.

Furthermore, the frequency with which the emperor summoned the imperial physicians increased day by day, and these things could not be concealed by hiding them.

Hongli knew that this matter concerned him and might even determine his life or fortune, so he had to be extremely cautious.

The backyard? What's the use of coming here? Once he's successfully seated on that golden throne and has the entire empire in his hands, he can enjoy it however he wants.

Hongli was secretly pleased with himself as he busied himself, but he would occasionally come in to relax.

Chen Yuwei came prepared this time, because she valued the fact that Hongli had not entered the backyard for five days. At this time, she lured him here, and everything was just right.

Yonghu, who was used as a tool by Chen Yuwei this time, was sent back to the side room to play by himself after he was done.

Fortunately, Yonghu wasn't picky. He was fine with anyone playing with him. So what if his mother and father weren't around? It was a small matter.

“Yonghu is well-behaved and sensible. Wei’er, you should learn from Yonghu.”

Hongli held Chen Yuwei's hand, and the two sat on the couch, shoulder to shoulder and head to head, in a very intimate posture.

Chen Yuwei, alluring and tender, her eyes filled with honey, asked, "Does Your Highness mean that I am ignorant?"

With the last word, Chen Yuwei's tone rose slightly, while her fingers circled clockwise, hooking and entwining around Hongli's chest. The force wasn't strong, but it was incredibly abrasive, making him unable to resist exclaiming that he couldn't take it anymore.

Hongli had been resting alone for several days, and his body hadn't felt anything under the pressure, but now, suddenly relaxing, he was being provoked by Chen Yuwei in various ways. Wow, this is serious.

Hongli calmly grasped Chen Yuwei's restless hand on his chest and gently stroked it. "Wei'er has always been obedient and sensible. That's not what I meant. Wei'er misunderstood."

Chen Yuwei's beautiful eyes shifted slightly, her expression sparkling with starlight. "What misunderstanding have I made? Could Your Highness please clarify things for me?"

Hongli: ...

Hongli's mind exploded as he looked at the warm, soft body that had moved so close to him and felt it against his cheek.

Answer his questions? What answers? All he wanted to do now was teach this restless little woman in his arms a good lesson.

How dare they tease him like this! No matter how much he cried and begged for mercy, it wouldn't work.

Having been holding back his energy for the past few days, Hongli didn't care whether it was daylight or not.

As long as the news about Ruyi Residence is kept under wraps, and I stay there all day, I'm not afraid of any rumors.

He scooped up Chen Yuwei in a princess carry and, without saying a word, turned around and took her to the bed not far away.

At this moment, Chen Yuwei didn't say anything to spoil the mood. She opened her watery eyes and looked at Hongli. As he took off his clothes, she took off hers too. Her seductive charm from head to toe almost made Hongli's legs go weak.

Fortunately, despite his eagerness, Hongli's hand movements remained disciplined and standard.

She smoothly lowered the curtains on both sides and slipped directly into the bed.

What followed was a series of actions that made people blush and their hearts race.

At the doorway, Xia He and Wu Shulai stood on either side, listening to the subtle sounds emanating from inside the room.

Because he had been worried about this incident from the beginning, Wu Shulai chased everyone away from the doorway after Chen Yuwei and Hongli entered, leaving only himself and Xia He.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, not many people heard the commotion. Although the news couldn't get out, it wasn't a good thing to be lewd in broad daylight.

"Miss Xiahe, go and prepare some warm water as soon as possible, we estimate we'll be staying for a while longer."

Wu Shulai held a whisk in his hand, looking calm and composed.

Xia He nodded, "Don't worry, Eunuch Wu, I've already made arrangements with the kitchen."

With our people handling things privately, we guarantee that not a single word of what happened today will get out.

Chen Yuwei had already explained this to Xia He.

It's not just about trivial matters like daytime debauchery. After all, Chen Yuwei has experienced modern society, and in terms of technology, it's definitely more open-minded as society develops.

Chen Yuwei simply felt that now that Ruyi Residence had several more children to raise, safety was of paramount importance. Therefore, she made preparations for any eventuality with great ease, just as she had done in her previous life.

Xia He naturally learned a lot and understood how to handle such matters.

Xia He didn't really care about Wu Shulai's words, but she still showed the respect she should. She couldn't afford to offend anyone but the servants around her master, because you never know when someone might inexplicably trip her up.

Wu Shulai was very pleased with Xia He's understanding attitude. He smiled and took the opportunity to chat with Xia He.

Inside, spring was in full bloom; outside, laughter and conversation filled the air. Both sides had bright futures ahead of them.

A little later, Chen Yuwei and Hongli, having finished their lovemaking, got out of the tightly sealed bed.

The two put their clothes back on, took a quick warm shower, and returned to their previous dry state.

Chen Yuwei had the wet nurse bring over Yonghu, Yonghong, and Yongkun, and with her cheeks slightly flushed, she pulled Hongli and her sons to bond.

Hongli did not refuse this, especially since having three sons around him was a great source of satisfaction.

That's why it's said that men have an unusually strong attachment to having offspring.

The three children were still young, and after a whole day of exhaustion, they soon started rubbing their eyes and clamoring to go to sleep.

After sending the wet nurse to bring the children down, Chen Yuwei nestled in Hongli's arms, whispering her endless tenderness to him.
