After returning from the Yuanmingyuan, Hongli was busy with the political affairs that had not been dealt with in the previous days. After all, the Seventeenth Prince and Qin Mo had gone to celebrate Lanqin's birthday, and there was no one to assist him in the affairs of the court. As a result, a lot of memorials had piled up in the past few days.

Therefore, it had been half a month since the newcomers entered the mansion, and apart from the last family banquet, these people had not seen Hongli's figure. Moreover, he did not take the three of them with him on the last trip to Yuanmingyuan.

This was not only because Hongli was busy with political affairs, but also because his wife was pregnant, so he did not stay overnight at the homes of the three new concubines. Hongli was worried that Mingyu would be unhappy. Therefore, none of the three had served Hongli yet, which made them somewhat anxious.

On the other hand, Lady Ye Keli was in a better position. After all, she was more dignified and reserved. In addition, during the last family banquet, Hongli never paid any attention to her. Therefore, she had a premonition that she had not served Hongli for half a month since she moved into the Prince Bao's mansion.

Although Lady Ye Ketri wasn't particularly concerned, Suo Xin beside her was extremely anxious. Suo Xin looked at the unhurried Lady Ye Ketri and said, "My lady, you've been married into this manor for half a month, but the prince hasn't even come to this courtyard yet. What should we do?"

Hearing Suo Xin's words, Ye Keli, who was embroidering, chuckled and said, "Since the Prince took over the reins of government, he has been busy with political affairs and it is understandable that he has not had time to visit this courtyard."

“But…” Suo Xin rolled her eyes, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said to Ye Keli, “Master, why don’t we go for a stroll in the garden and maybe run into the Prince?”

"You, the prince is busy with political affairs all day long, how could he be wandering around in the palace?" Ye Keli chuckled, covering her mouth.

"Even if it's just to digest our food, the scenery in this garden is much more beautiful than here."

Suo Xin had been by Ye Keli's side for so many years and was considered loyal to her, so Ye Keli agreed, "Then let's go."

"Yes, Master." Suo Xin was overjoyed to hear that Ye Keli had agreed.

Therefore, after finishing her breakfast, Ye Keli took Suoxin for a walk in the garden. Not long after, she saw Xueying and Aluo walking in the garden not far away.

"My lord, that looks like a concubine."

"Go forward and pay your respects."

"Greetings, Consort Xueying." Lady Yeketri, carrying Suoxin, walked up to Xueying and bowed to her.

Xueying glanced at the person bowing before her and realized that it was the newly arrived princess. She waved her hand to call her to get up.

Seeing that Ye Keli was very dignified and quiet, and knowing from the family banquet that day that she was not good at speaking, Xueying spoke first, asking, "Is my younger sister digesting her food in this garden?"

"Yes, maid, the scenery in this garden is quite beautiful, so I came here for a stroll to digest my food."

"If you have time, you can come and sit in my east courtyard. I have nothing to do in this mansion, so I usually just paint. Now that my sister has come, I have some company." Xueying liked this Ye Keli very much, and liked her gentle temperament. Therefore, she unconsciously wanted to befriend her.

Upon hearing Xueying's words, Ye Keli was delighted and immediately said, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely visit your east courtyard."
