Xia He was terrified every time she saw it, and at the same time, she paid more attention to her own safety and tried her best to make sure that no one else would find out about the relationship between Ruyi Residence and Gao Yu. She was afraid that if one day the prince couldn't help but deal with the people around him, both of them could avoid trouble.
"Is that so? Then we should be even more careful, because the prince might be keeping all of this in mind."
Even if we don't physically punish them, just letting them cool off will be enough to make them regret it.
Serving in the front courtyard is far more competitive than in the back, especially since Hongli is the future crown prince.
Xia He had no objection to her master's words, and even felt that her master's concerns were not unreasonable.
Several of the servants who used to serve in the front courtyard did not accompany the prince to the Yuanmingyuan this time, and now they have little status in the mansion.
They stopped paying attention to those who had previously tried to please them, and one can imagine what their future would be like.
Who doesn't want to be well-fed, well-clothed, and have prestige in front of their master? Once you're down there, it's hard to get back up.
The master and servant huddled together, whispering all the way from the Old Summer Palace to the mansion.
By the time Hongli and Fucha Yixin's main force returned to the mansion, it was already evening.
The people who remained at the mansion went to the gate to greet the guests, led by Gao Hongshan.
Similarly, Chen Yuwei noticed the unfamiliar beauty following behind Hongli.
I must say, it's actually quite beautiful.
Lady Huang was the kind of beauty with striking features, and she became even more alluring after makeup. No wonder she was able to obtain a lowly title from Hongli, and even after entering the palace, she was able to be made a Consort Yi. With her face and her sensible and perceptive nature, it wasn't difficult for her to achieve this.
Hmm, she was a formidable rival. It's a pity that Consort Yi died too early; she was gone after only two years in the palace.
After mentally reviewing Huang's appearance, Chen Yuwei turned around and left her aside.
Unlike Chen Yuwei, the others were not so prescient that they immediately became very wary upon seeing how beautiful Huang was.
Chen Yuwei had just finished welcoming the Fujin and the Prince, and before she could even enter the room, she heard a series of commotions related to Madam Huang.
This includes Huang's surname and given name, where she lived, how she gained the prince's favor, the princess's praise, and so on.
Chen Yuwei: ...You do have quite a chatterbox.
"Princess"
Xia He looked up at her master, unsure of what he was thinking.
It's all because Concubine Huang's current residence, Leshan Hall, is right next to Ruyi Residence; it's just a short walk around the corner.
"It's alright. The mansion is so big. Your mistress is just a princess. How can I control where the newcomers live?"
"Let her be. As long as she doesn't get too close to Ruyi Residence, there's no need to worry about her."
With a flick of her handkerchief, Chen Yuwei hummed an unknown tune, thinking to herself that Hongli would definitely stay at the main residence of the Fujin for two days after his return, and then go to Gao Hongshan's Jinghong Pavilion to appease her.
Princess Fucha has a prince, so it's essential to visit him.
Next up is either myself or Jin Xiangling from Hanmei Pavilion.
Oh, and we should also add Huang Wanyu, who was just brought back by Hongli. It's possible that the novelty hasn't worn off yet, and Hongli is still lusting after her.
Alright, the next few days will be busy, I need to hurry up and get this skin in top condition.
"Xiahe, go and inform the Fujin in a moment that the day for Yonghu to have his pulse checked has arrived, and that the imperial physician should be invited as soon as possible."
Also, prepare the prescriptions for the medicinal herbs I'm missing. My skin hasn't been smooth and supple for days; what will I do when the Prince comes?"
Chen Yuwei's worried expression stirred Xia He's heart.
Xia He had not forgotten that her mistress was a princess, and if she wanted to live a good life, she had to rely on the prince's favor.
With so many women in the harem, who knows which one the prince might favor?
All we can do is try to impress the prince and make him remember us so he'll come back a few more times.
Upon hearing that the master's skin care formula was no longer available, Xia He didn't wait to report to the Fujin (principal wife) but instead went directly to settle the matter. In any case, there were already established rules for inviting imperial physicians for the young master, so she wasn't afraid of the Fujin's obstruction.
Fucha Jin Yi did not stop her, and she also knew that Chen Yu Wei was obtaining skin-nourishing formulas through her financial relationship with the imperial physicians.
When it comes to becoming more beautiful, Chen Yuwei isn't the only one; many others have done it too.
"Chen Gege's appearance is above average, but her skin is indeed flawless."
No wonder I always spend a lot of money on my skin every now and then.
After seeing Xia He off, Fucha Jinyi and Dongxue chatted casually.
During their trip to the Old Summer Palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dongxue was left at the residence by Fucha Jinyi to supervise the others.
Before Xia He arrived, Dong Xue had just told everyone in the backyard what had happened. Apart from the honest Chen Yuwei and Zhou Zhenyue, everyone else had their own ulterior motives, which infuriated Dong Xue.
Hearing her master mention Chen Gege, Dongxue, going along with her wishes, muttered, "Using her beauty to please others."
Fucha Jinyi: ...
Fucha Jinyi's smile faded. "How many people in this backyard don't use their looks to please others? Even if I am the princess consort," I still have to fawn over the prince like this.
Bang--
Dongxue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, banging her head on the ground and repeatedly saying that she knew she was wrong and begged for forgiveness.
Fucha Jinyi did not wake Dongxue up immediately; her eyes showed disappointment.
To be honest, as the personal maid whom she brought into the mansion from the Fucha clan, Fucha Jinyi recognized Dongxue's competence.
However, perhaps blinded by the wealth of the mansion, Dongxue became increasingly outrageous and dared to say anything.
There were one or two times before when I said I didn't care, which caused her trouble.
It's not that I haven't given warnings, nor that I haven't considered replacing the people around me.
However, Fucha Jinyi had not found a suitable person, and she also considered the long-standing relationship between her and her servant. She always thought that as long as Dongxue could change, she would protect her.
