Chen Yuwei's casual remark served as a very good predictive tool.
The news that the Emperor carried Keliyete Shuying all the way from the Imperial Garden to the Hall of Mental Cultivation was indeed widely known even before tomorrow.
Just as Chen Yuwei and Xia He returned to Yikun Palace, Xia Yu rushed out and brought up the matter.
Chen Yuwei: ...There's really no need to wait.
"Xia Yu, Her Majesty already knows. You may go and attend to your duties."
When Xia He saw that her master was not speaking, she thought that her master was being hypocritical. He seemed fine on the surface, but he was actually extremely upset inside.
He immediately signaled for Xia Yu to leave, while she hurriedly helped her master into the hall.
Chen Yuwei smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I was just thinking that there are really no secrets in the harem."
The news spread so fast! I never imagined that my joke would actually be true.
Shaking her head, Chen Yuwei did not go to the tatami room to rest, but instead sat down at the octagonal table and drank a cup of tea to quench her thirst.
"Upon seeing Consort Keliye today, I realized that the time when I was a prince was truly a time of hidden talents. I never knew that such a beauty came from the same place as me."
At that time, Keliyete Shuying had no presence in the Prince's residence. If it weren't for the daily greetings, no one would have noticed that there was such a person in the backyard.
Now that she has entered the harem, Keliyete Shuying dresses up carefully, and she really does have a stunning appearance.
Of course, this is only from Hongli's perspective. Hongli was able to cooperate with Keliyete Shuying in this play, and even carried her directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which must mean that he felt that she had given him a sense of novelty.
From any perspective, Keliyete Shuying achieved her goal.
Hmm, I didn't expect that among all the women in the harem, the one who couldn't hold back and made a move first would be Keliyete Shuying. Chen Yuwei thought it would be Jin Xiangling from Qixiang Palace.
But this is quite interesting. I reckon Jin Xiangling of Qixiang Palace will be furious when she finds out.
After all, such unexpected events catch people off guard and are extremely disgusting.
While Chen Yuwei was thinking about Jin Xiangling in Qixiang Palace, Jin Xiangling was also glaring angrily at Yangxin Hall in the distance.
Despicable people! They're all despicable people!
They thought that Lady Keliye was a good person, who was well-behaved and quiet both when she was a prince and when she entered the palace.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't that they weren't going to cause trouble; it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
Now the opportunity has arrived.
Oh!
Big heart!
Cursing under her breath, Jin Xiangling and Zhou Shen's tense aura made Wen Yu feel miserable.
Why
It's like everything I do these past few days is going wrong, even drinking water gets stuck in my teeth.
Wen Yu couldn't understand it. Whether it was the slow progress of the Imperial Household Department's plan or the scheme of Keliye Te, who took the initiative and seized the opportunity, it was all detrimental to Qixiang Palace.
The previous attitude has changed imperceptibly. Wen Yu has now stood on the same side as Jin Xiangling. They both hope that Qixiang Palace can turn the tables and become a new favorite in the harem.
"My Lord"
"Wen Yu, we should hurry up and not delay any longer."
Jin Xiangling kept a cold face, thinking to herself that her current position was already wronged enough. If she were to have to bow and greet those who were inferior to her in the future, it would be the death of her.
"We must maintain good relations with the Imperial Household Department. Also, we need to find an opportunity to take good care of the people around Consort Yi at Zhongcui Palace."
Jin Xiangling suddenly erupted after being provoked by Keliyete Shuying.
She smiled ruthlessly and decided to first send Huang Wanyu out to satisfy her craving.
Anyway, Huang Wanyu and she were just business partners, so if something really happened, it wouldn't affect her.
By the way, let Huang Wanyu scout ahead. Huang Wanyu couldn't avoid it herself, so she can't blame others.
Jin Xiangling had a lot of complicated thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show them all.
With a slight smile, Jin Xiangling waved her hand to send the terrified Wen Yu away, and then decided to speed things up.
Not only Jin Xiangling of Qixiang Palace, but also other palaces that heard the commotion of Keliyete Shuying, such as Su Jingtong of Xianfu Palace, Gao Hongshan of Chengqian Palace, and Huifa Nara Tanyin of Yonghe Palace, all had different plans in their hearts.
Some of these calculations are made by striving to catch up, while others are done by keeping a low profile and lying in wait. But few are as completely indifferent as Chen Yuwei of Yikun Palace and Fucha Jinyi of Changchun Palace.
Changchun Palace doesn't care because Fucha Jinyi was born into the Empress's family, and Keliyete Shuying is not a threat at present.
Yikun Palace didn't care, purely because Chen Yuwei didn't care about this matter. Anyway, she had five children to raise, and whether Keliyete Shuying was favored or not wouldn't affect Yikun Palace for at least a few years.
...
As the New Year's bells rang, the thirteenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign came to a complete end.
Both the imperial court and the imperial harem truly ushered in the first year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign.
Early in the morning, without the usual greetings, Chen Yuwei slept in late, a rare occurrence for her.
The sound of sobbing filled her ears. Chen Yuwei opened her eyes groggily and saw several wet nurses holding swaddled babies, looking apologetic as they circled around Xia He.
"master"
Xia He was sweating profusely with anxiety. When she saw movement coming from the bed behind her where the curtains had been drawn, her eyes lit up and she went over to it.
"What happened?"
Chen Yuwei glanced at the screen casually, then rubbed her forehead. She had slept too late yesterday and drunk half a pot of fruit wine, so she was still a little groggy.
"My lord, it is two little princesses who have been crying since they did not see you this morning."
The wet nurse had no choice but to come from the side hall.
The reason the group surrounded Xia He was because they were worried that the child would cry for too long and ruin his voice, and they were also afraid that they would wake up Chen Yuwei and be punished. They pleaded with Xia He to help them.
