Consort Xi's stay at the Yuanmingyuan Garden was only for a few months. She would return to the palace once the weather turned cooler (after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet). However, as for Emperor Yongzheng, unless there were major events in the palace, he would conduct his business at the Yuanmingyuan Garden, while the affairs of the Imperial Palace were entirely entrusted to Hongli.
Before leaving, Hongli reminded Fucha Jinyi to hurry up, which made Fucha Jinyi roll her eyes in anger. She felt that Hongli was too cunning and that everyone in the backyard would be unlucky to have followed him.
"Well, it was the Prince who ordered it. Dongxue, go to Jinghong Pavilion and invite Princess Gao here."
Fucha Jinyi wanted to say it sooner to put her mind at ease, so she arranged for someone to call Gao Hongshan as soon as Hongli left.
Every move made in the main courtyard was also recorded by the servants guarding the area and taken back to their respective courtyards.
It was all Hongli's fault. When he came back, he only stayed in the main courtyard. Apart from visiting a few children, he didn't stay overnight at all.
Everyone was waiting to get pregnant, but then there was a drought that lasted for months. Who could stand that?
"Princess, the Prince came today, why didn't you ask him to stay?"
Xia He found it strange, thinking to herself that the prince clearly wanted to go, but was persuaded to leave by the princess with just a few words. After all, the princess had been out of confinement for almost a month and was already able to serve the prince.
Chen Yuwei, dressed in a light blue palace gown, leaned casually against the couch. "Your Highness has something on your mind. How can I be so ungrateful as to keep him here?"
She was worried that Hongli would feel resentful afterward.
Don't think that Hongli couldn't do it. In fact, these emperors are best at quickly changing their tune and shifting responsibility onto others.
Right now, Hongli really wants to stay and relax. If Chen Yuwei hooks his heart, it will be fine if nothing happens when Hongli returns to Yuanmingyuan. But if he is reprimanded by Yongzheng, that bastard will definitely blame her.
At that time, she was still taking care of the children at the mansion, and it was impossible for Hongli to come to Ruyi Residence while he was still angry.
Moreover, Chen Yuwei doesn't plan to get pregnant this time. She's willing to risk being resented by the petty-minded Hongli for months just to sleep with him. Hongli doesn't have that kind of ability.
Chen Yuwei waved her hand and then asked Xia He if she knew why the Fujin had asked Gao Hongshan to come over.
Xia He shook her head. "The people I arranged waited for a long time, but all we saw was a smile on Gao Gege's face when she left." As for what they talked about, unless someone leaked the secret, we really don't know.
Chen Yuwei touched her chin. "A smile on your face? Could it be something good?" It might be related to the request to be promoted to the rank of concubine.
