"Your Highness, you have your own flesh and blood in your heart, and I have no other desires."
Chen Yuwei never mentioned what she wanted; she liked anything Hongli gave her.
Hongli grinned and teased his chubby son, whom he was holding in his arms, for a while.
Although the Qing dynasty had a saying that they would only have sons but not grandsons, the officials did not know what they did in private. Did these officials keep an eye on the princes' residences every day, waiting to submit a memorial to complain?
At home, Hongli held all of his biological children.
Moreover, Yonghu's special status made him more approachable than the other children, so it was perfectly normal for Hongli to make exceptions for him a few times.
"Wei'er, you should stay at Ruyi Residence to recuperate and take care of the baby. Everything will wait for me to come back."
Since Hongli was promoted to Prince, the road ahead has become increasingly clear.
Therefore, Hongli dared not slack off at the moment, for fear that a mishap would result in utter failure.
"Your Highness, please take good care of yourself at Yuanmingyuan. I am well under the care of the Fujin at the mansion."
Chen Yuwei praised Fucha Jinyi at the right time, because this man's wife was indeed doing a good job. If Fucha Jinyi could continue to maintain this style of doing things, she really wouldn't want Fucha Jinyi to die young.
It should be noted that after his first wife passed away, Hongli immediately promoted his second wife after only three years.
According to historical records, Chen Yuwei did not particularly like Hui Fa Na La Shi, who was to enter the household the following year. She herself was a person who liked rules and regulations, so she always avoided people like Hui Fa Na La Shi.
If she had to choose between Fucha Jinyi and Huifa Nara as her boss, she would definitely choose Fucha Jinyi. She was sensible, understanding, and knew how to handle things. How wonderful!
Chen Yuwei felt sorry for Fucha Jinyi, who had to take care of the children and manage the household affairs, as well as maintain Hongli's reputation. Fortunately, she was just a concubine who was only responsible for eating, drinking, having fun and having children, otherwise she would have suffered to death sooner or later.
When Hongli heard Chen Yuwei praise the Fujin (wife of the emperor), he also felt that the Fujin had done a particularly good job these past few days.
She made a mental note of Fucha Jin Yi, thinking that she could give the main wife a more generous reward later, since she was her own wife. It would be better for them to be of one mind in the future than for her to hold them back.
"Don't worry, Wei'er, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you next time."
"My lord, please take care and rest well. I will always think of you while I am at the manor."
"..."
After the two finished their chatter, Hongli left Ruyi Residence satisfied.
Before leaving the palace, he went to the main courtyard to give some instructions to Fucha Jinyi, and then made no other arrangements.
Hongli left gracefully, but left the others in the backyard with sorrow.
Especially Gao Hongshan, who felt her position in the prince's heart had diminished, threw a tantrum and made everyone in the Jinghong Pavilion restless day and night.
The main courtyard where Fucha Jinyi lived was not far from Gao Hongshan's Jinghong Pavilion.
The commotion at Jinghong Pavilion will soon reach the main courtyard.
Fucha Jinyi was extremely annoyed by this, because Yonglian was always frightened by Jinghong Pavilion, and Yonglian was weak and sickly, and would cry and make a fuss at the slightest disturbance.
Because of this, Fucha Jinyi couldn't eat or sleep well, and her complexion became much worse.
Dongxue felt heartbroken about this, but there was no good way to solve it. She could only try to keep the servants away from Jinghong Pavilion and keep the main gate of the courtyard closed whenever possible, which made Chen Yuwei, who was recuperating at Ruyi Residence, feel relaxed and at ease.
Chen Yuwei thought that the hot weather would make postpartum confinement difficult, but little did she know that the Fujin (wife of the emperor) was afraid of trouble and sent over all the food and supplies early on.
Now Ruyi Residence has everything you could want, so Chen Yuwei could stay there for a year or two without any pressure.
While taking pills produced by the system and following the imperial physician's instructions to regulate her body, Chen Yuwei occasionally dealt with Hongli, who had just returned from the Yuanmingyuan Garden. Her life was regular and healthy.
Soon, it was July, and Chen Yuwei went out after completing her thirty-day postpartum confinement period.
Meanwhile, the baby boy's one-month celebration was also progressing smoothly under Fucha Jinyi's arrangements.
Although the fat son's grandfather was still at the Yuanmingyuan for summer retreat at this time, the fat son's father and several uncles were there.
Hongli treated everyone to good food and wine, ostensibly to a full-month celebration for his son, but actually using the opportunity to cultivate relationships with his own side.
However, since this matter has already been made public and even Emperor Yongzheng has not said anything more, others naturally would not jump out at this time and risk offending him.
After the full moon, Hongli took his wife and son to the Yuanmingyuan for a short stay.
Just the three of them made the whole backyard go crazy with envy (except for Chen Yuwei).
Chen Yuwei genuinely didn't care about this. In the sweltering heat, she still had to go to serve her elders. If she were Fucha Jinyi, she would only want to avoid being idle.
Believe it or not, Chen Yuwei actually guessed what Fucha Jinyi was thinking.
Fucha Jinyi really didn't want to come with Hongli. Putting aside whether Yonglian's body could withstand the ordeal, Hayihu was still too young.
Moreover, there was a whole host of things to deal with at the mansion. The price of staying at Yuanmingyuan for a few days was having to work overtime when she got back. Fucha Jinyi didn't want to lose more than she gained.
Just because Fucha Jinyi didn't want to doesn't mean that Hongli wanted to miss this opportunity.
What's the meaning?
The Emperor had already given him a message: barring any unforeseen circumstances, after the Emperor's death, that position would belong to him, Aisin-Gioro Hongli.
Of course, Hongli wanted to share such an important matter with his wife.
The sharing wasn't the end of it, because the Emperor planned to bestow a marriage upon him, meaning he would marry a concubine.
Fucha Jinyi's visit to the Yuanmingyuan Garden was ostensibly to bring her child and keep Consort Xi company, but her main purpose was to discuss with Consort Xi the proper ceremonies for marrying a new bride next year.
Who made him marry a woman from the Hui-fa-na-la clan? The Na-la clan was quite large, even more powerful than the Fu-ca clan.
