After returning from the Northwest, Hongli often rested in Mingyu's room. The couple were like newlyweds, spending their time together in deep affection, and he smiled whenever he looked at Bizi.

On this day, Mingyu was playing chess with Hongli when she suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you remember Gao Bin, the father of the Gao family?"

Hongli thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly. He saw too many people every day, and Gao Bin was not someone he needed to take seriously.

Mingyu held the chess piece in deep thought, her hand shifting positions several times above the board. After placing her piece, she slowly said, "I have heard of this person. He is quite talented. If Your Highness could promote him, it would certainly be a comfort to the Gao family."

Hongli stared at the chessboard, frowning as he asked, "How did this get involved with the Gao family?"

“You don’t know,” Mingyu said, rubbing her belly. “During my pregnancy, I was willing but unable to manage the household affairs. Fortunately, there was Gao Shi. She managed everything inside and outside the household by herself, which was very hard. She didn’t even get a good night’s sleep many times. I felt guilty when I saw that.”

Hongli shifted his gaze from the chessboard to Mingyu's face and said gently, "The principal wife is pregnant, and as a concubine, she should help take care of her. This is her blessing."

Mingyu smiled and said a few words in support of the Gao family.

After being reminded by her twice, both openly and subtly, Hongli began to care more about Madam Gao. If it weren't for Madam Gao, Mingyu would have had to work hard all by herself while he was away in the Northwest.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "The Qing Dynasty is full of talented people. I have never paid attention to Gao Bin before, but I will keep an eye on him in the future."

Mingyu was overjoyed and smiled tenderly at Hongli: "That's wonderful. I'm glad I haven't let down Lady Gao's help and support over the past few days."

Hongli stretched and got up from the soft couch, and Mingyu also stood up to tidy his clothes.

"As a matter of rewarding merit, since Lady Gao has made contributions, I will give her some rewards. You wait here for me to return." Hongli grasped Mingyu's hand and gazed deeply into her eyes.

Mingyu nodded gently and gracefully.

Hongli left with a smile. He went to the inner storeroom and personally selected some jewelry, which took quite a bit of effort. He then sent someone to Langyue Pavilion with the jewelry as a reward to Lady Gao.

Lady Gao was drinking tea in the room when she heard that someone had come to deliver a reward, and she was overjoyed.

After the eunuchs who came to deliver the rewards arrived, Lady Gao and her personal maid entered the room, where she happily tried on the jewelry that Hongli had given her.

"My lady, you've finally made it! I heard that these are all jewelry pieces that Prince Beile personally selected from the inner treasury." The personal maid was also very happy. They shared in Gao's glory and her misfortune. When their mistress was pleased, they were pleased. Now that Gao had been rewarded by Prince Beile, they would be three points higher than the other servants when they walked around the courtyard.

"Don't be ridiculous," Gao said, feigning anger, but there was no real anger in her voice; instead, there was an undisguised smile.

"If you don't like it, then this servant will take care of it." The personal maid pouted, but her hands didn't stop moving as she put jewelry on Gao Shi. "Look at you, you look so beautiful, just like a fairy descended from heaven."

Gao replied absentmindedly, "The Prince's judgment is naturally the best."
