Consort Ning did not want to see this happen, so she waited.

We'll wait for a time that will make the Emperor happy. Even if Yongyue enters the palace, it won't affect the Emperor's mood.

Chen Yuwei: ...

Is this the heart of a loving mother? She has considered everything for Yongyue.

However, these decisions ultimately depend on the Emperor's approval, and the Imperial Observatory is not merely a figurehead.

"My advice is to act sooner rather than later, as none of us can fathom the Emperor's thoughts."

If things drag on and something goes wrong, Yongyue will be unable to return to the palace for the time being.

Consort Ning, who will bear the consequences?

Chen Yuwei had no choice but to reveal the worst possible outcome. Don't think the Emperor wouldn't do such a thing; in fact, he had often changed his mind at the last minute before.

However, the points involved were unrelated to the empresses and concubines, which created the illusion that the emperor's word was law and he would not go back on his word.

After hearing Chen Yuwei's words, Consort Ning pursed her lips. "The Emperor would do such a thing?"

Chen Yuwei shook her head, "I don't know, I'm not the emperor."

He pushed the booklet spread out on the table in front of Consort Ning. It contained auspicious times calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

There were many auspicious times, some even precise down to the exact hour, including the exact time when Yongyue moved into the prince's residence.

Consort Ning looked at the circled items above and felt that it was all happening too fast.

Chen Yuwei didn't try to persuade her, "These are the ones I selected. If you're not satisfied, go back and check them again."

"This matter will be returned to me. Yongyue's mother is you; I will not interfere."

If he's not your biological son, interfering too much can easily provoke his hostility.

Chen Yuwei has already given Consort Ning and her son benefits; now it's time for Consort Ning to repay them double.

Chen Yuwei rarely does things that are easy to give up halfway through.

Consort Ning slowly left Yikun Palace, clutching the booklet in her hand.

She was still pondering the arrangements for Yongyue's return, with two conflicting thoughts constantly tug at each other in her mind.

Consort Ning was at a loss and asked the maids serving her, but to no avail.

In the end, Consort Ning chose one of the dates circled by Chen Yuwei.

"Ha, Consort Ning, concern makes you confused."

He overthought things, lost his basic judgment, and in the end, he obediently followed Chen Yuwei's arrangements.

Of course, Chen Yuwei did not harm her; the times she chose were all auspicious, ensuring that Yongyue would not be affected by Hongli's mood.

"October 15th, let's go with that day."

After returning to the palace, they can take the opportunity to rest for a couple more days and get used to life in the palace.
