Xia He helped Chen Yuwei sit up from the bed and then tied the hanging curtains back up.
"Never mind, no need to bother. I'm not going out today, so don't worry about it."
Chen Yuwei gestured for Xia He to bring the two children to her, and then pushed the warm blankets outwards so that the two children could lie down comfortably.
Ho Cho and Fu Ling A Bai, who have been pregnant for more than two months, are chubby and adorable.
Especially those eyes that were exactly the same as Chen Yuwei's, sparkling like countless stars, made her heart soften unconsciously.
Unlike most daughters who resemble their fathers, these two children look more like Chen Yuwei.
Despite her young age, she's bound to be a beauty in the future.
"My little darlings are all good."
Chen Yuwei, wearing her pajamas, lay on the edge of the bed, teasing her two daughters who were stretching out their arms and legs with a smile on her lips.
Xiahe quickly fetched several braziers already filled with charcoal and placed them around the bed to ensure that her masters would not easily catch a cold.
"Where are Yonghu and the others?"
The two little girls woke up, but the three remaining sons were even more lively than them and couldn't possibly stay in the house.
Xia He smiled upon hearing this, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the princes are leading the servants outside to build snow piles."
"I have already instructed them to return to the side hall to warm up every fifteen minutes."
Chen Yuwei nodded, "Prepare some more ginger soup. It's not just for the children, but also for the servants who are with them. It's so cold that they're prone to catching a cold, so we need to be careful."
It wasn't that Chen Yuwei was particularly kind; she was just asking the small kitchen to make a pot of ginger soup.
Moreover, those servants were either taking care of several children or responsible for the safety of Yikun Palace.
If Chen Yuwei could be bought off with such a small favor, it would be an incredibly good deal for her.
Xia He replied, "This servant understands."
"Go on with your work," Chen Yuwei waved her hand, then turned back to play with the two babbling babies.
Chen Yuwei enjoyed this leisurely life for almost a month.
When she came out of Yikun Palace, she felt a sense of disorientation, as if she had lost track of time.
It's only because I've accumulated so many buffs this year that I've had such a long break.
It was because the Empress Dowager hadn't returned from outside the palace, and the Emperor and Empress's trip to the ancestral temple had also taken up time.
With a few fewer bosses in the harem, Chen Yuwei felt much more relaxed and at ease.
Unfortunately, good times always pass too quickly. As these women returned to the palace one after another, Chen Yuwei had no choice but to continue playing the role of Consort Shu.
"It's getting late, let's go to Changchun Palace."
Slightly bored, Chen Yuwei pursed her lips and was carried away in a sedan chair.
As the sedan chair landed, Chen Yuwei heard someone speaking.
"Your Highness, it is Consort Jin and Consort Keliye who are blocking the way and refusing to enter."
Xia He glanced at it casually, then turned to tell her master, who had already stepped out of the sedan chair.
Chen Yuwei exclaimed, "Oh, how did those two end up together?"
Keliyete Shuying has recently become very favored; the Emperor visits the Chuxiu Palace five out of ten times when he enters the harem.
Xia He shook her head, "This servant does not know, but the palace servants of Changchun Palace did not stop them, perhaps they were just talking."
If they really had a quarrel, the people in Changchun Palace wouldn't be indifferent and ignore it. After all, this is the Empress's territory. In the end, although the two of them would lose face, the Empress would have to consider her reputation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuwei nodded and had Xia He help her into the hall.
It's freezing cold outside, it's just plain weird, and Chen Yuwei doesn't have that kind of hobby anyway.
Chen Yuwei walked very fast, bypassing Keliyete Shuying and Jin Xiangling.
The two who were about to respond: ...
Tsk, he just uttered the name he was going to call out, and then he turned around and left.
"snort!"
Jin Xiangling glared at Keliye Teshuying, realizing that she had been led astray by the other party. After calming down, she suddenly understood that she was doing something foolish.
Keliyete Shuying was speechless. "Noble Lady Jin, you stopped me from paying my respects during the morning court hours, and now you're blaming me?"
That's illogical and unreasonable.
"I just wanted to say a few words to you, but it has taken so long."
"With Keliyete present, if it weren't for you, I would have already gone into the palace to rest."
Jin Xiangling turned the tables and wasn't afraid of what Keliyete Shuying said at all.
Keliyete Shuying: ...
Keliyete watched Jin Xiangling and Wen Yu turn and leave, like a victorious rooster.
"Oh"
With a soft chuckle, Keliyete Shuying's expression remained icy.
Beside her, the maid Su Ye cautiously inquired, "My lady, shall we go in?"
Keliyete Shuying nodded and said, "Go in."
Staying outside the palace would be foolish; she hadn't forgotten the imperial physician's diagnosis—she needed to take care of her health and conceive.
Su Ye helped Keliye Teshu Ying into the hall. The three of them entered one after the other, and they were noticed by everyone in the hall.
"I don't know either, Consort Gao. Perhaps you can ask her yourself."
Chen Yuwei gently wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, speaking in a straightforward manner.
Hearing Gao Hongshan's inexplicable mockery, Chen Yuwei retorted and then looked down at her newly done nails.
Although the balsam flowers used were not the latest, even if they were just stored cosmetics, the dyeing effect was still quite good. The bright red nail polish paired with the slender nail guards looked very domineering.
Gao Hongshan: ...
Gao Hongshan looked at Chen Yuwei sitting in her original seat and cursed her in her heart as a bitch!
If I hadn't misled the emperor, how could the other party have a higher rank than me?
It's just a matter of how many children you can have. Do you think you can't have children?
At this moment, Gao Hongshan was just like Su Jingtong, who had been angered earlier, with an exceptionally strong desire to have a child.
