Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
Seeing that the Fujin (princess) had finally lost her earlier urge to tear Chun Yiniang apart, the nanny was relieved.
These servants didn't want to be so humiliated, but if their master couldn't hold back and started making a scene, the master would be the one who suffered in the end, and then they would be the ones who were unlucky!
After leaving Hesheli's courtyard, Tong Guowei arrived at another part of the backyard, the Plum Garden.
This plum garden was specially built by Tong Guowei for Aunt Chun. The furnishings inside are exquisite and luxurious, showing great care in every detail, which shows that she is not just an ordinary person who is favored.
As soon as Tong Guowei arrived, Aunt Chun appeared. Aunt Chun was not young by ancient standards, being twenty-six years old, but she was extremely well-preserved and looked like a girl in her teens, with even more charm than a young girl. Tong Guowei, being quite old, doted on Aunt Chun immensely.
Just as Aunt Chun was about to curtsy, Tong Guowei helped her up and pulled her into his arms. Aunt Chun playfully punched Tong Guowei's chest with her small fists and said in a soft, seductive voice, "Master~"
Tong Guowei then pulled Aunt Chun into the room.
"My lord, I prepared your favorite dishes for you. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you to come!"
Tong Guowei laughed and said, "How could that be? Today, Tong'er went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, so I had to keep an eye on her. Chun'er is jealous."
When Aunt Chun heard Tong Guowei mention Tong Yuntong, she perked up and whispered, "Master, how is Tong'er?"
Tong Guowei waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, and then said, "Tong'er is fine! Chun'er, don't worry. Although you and your daughter can't recognize each other, one day Tong'er will understand your good intentions."
With tears in her eyes, Aunt Chun said, "Thank you for understanding me, Your Highness. I had no choice back then. If I hadn't been afraid that Tong'er wouldn't survive, I wouldn't have taken such a risk. I have no other requests. If Tong'er doesn't acknowledge me, then I don't. It's already my blessing to have met Your Highness in this life. As for Tong'er, I'm too unlucky to have any hope."
Upon hearing this, Tong Guowei felt that Aunt Chun was a truly pleasing person. Then, Tong Guowei recalled how he had discovered the suppression that Hesheli had exerted on his harem, which deepened his hatred and disgust for Hesheli.
Tong Guowei patted Aunt Chun on the shoulder and then comforted her, "Don't worry, Tong'er is your child, no one can deny that."
