After leisurely finishing their dinner, the two of them took advantage of the still relatively bright light outside and decided to stroll around the courtyard.
Chen Yuwei wrapped her arms around Hongli's arm, and the two walked back and forth close together.
Not far from them stood Wu Shulai and Xia He, who were quite perceptive.
They were responsible for preventing unsuspecting palace servants from disturbing their master's mood.
"This May, I plan to go to the border region, and the Empress will accompany me."
"Wei'er, you may have to work hard for a while. Take good care of the palace."
Hongli had just ascended the throne and did not intend to go there at this time, but then there was a sudden disturbance in Mongolia.
Hongli didn't want to wait until the mourning period was over to deal with it, fearing that it would be too late if he did. So he took this opportunity to bring the Empress on an inspection tour of the border regions.
However, since the empress has left the palace, there needs to be someone temporarily in charge of palace affairs.
Originally, Hongli was considering Gao Hongshan in Chengqian Palace, but considering that Gao Bin was currently doing very well in the court, it seemed rather unfair of him to leave Gao Hongshan in the palace for several months.
As for Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin of Yonghe Palace, she has never been particularly liked by Hongli, and he has no intention of letting her take on more palace affairs.
So, after thinking it over, Hongli turned around and focused his gaze on Chen Yuwei.
It just so happens that Chen Yuwei had just given birth to her two young daughters not long ago, and it wouldn't be good for her to take care of the young children if she went to the border region with him at this time.
Well, since that's the case, it doesn't seem like there's any problem with staying and managing the palace affairs for him.
Hongli felt a little guilty. He awkwardly touched his nose and coughed twice to try and ignore the strange feeling in his heart.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuwei, after hearing what he said, looked at Hongli beside her, her heart filled with complex emotions.
These words sound like they were spoken without thinking. Does Hongli value him or not?
Chen Yuwei couldn't help but ask herself the same question, but on the surface she still showed what it meant to be considerate and sensible.
"Your Majesty's entrustment is something I will never forget."
It just means he'll have to stay in the palace to keep order, and he won't see Hongli for several months.
No problem!
Chen Yuwei couldn't say she didn't care, but she still showed the proper behavior in this situation.
For example, they readily agree on the surface, but then turn around with tears in their eyes and a reluctant expression.
Hongli's heart softened immediately. Wei'er had feelings for him, and he shouldn't have made such an arrangement.
"Wei'er, I" could also be replaced with someone else from the palace.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy. I have no regrets about being able to help you."
After hearing this, Hongli looked distressed. "I was just saying it casually. This matter has not been officially decided yet."
Wei'er, don't think so much about it yet. There are still a few months before the trip to the border.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rearrange this matter when I return."
Chen Yuwei: ...Hmm?
Chen Yuwei smiled even more sincerely, her eyes sparkling with beautiful light. "Your Majesty, this trip to the borderlands is official business. Your presence and that of the Empress represent the majesty of the Qing Dynasty."
The other sisters and cousins went along, also taking the opportunity to broaden their horizons.
I do not feel that it will be difficult for me to stay in the palace alone.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to take good care of matters in the palace.
She didn't explicitly say she could definitely do it, after all, Chen Yuwei always did things by leaving herself an out, so that if any unexpected events occurred in the palace, she would have a chance to maneuver.
"Wei'er"
Hongli was deeply moved after hearing this, mainly because Wei'er's words were so thoughtful.
Unlike the other women in the harem, who would haggle and bargain with him after he finished speaking.
Silently criticizing the others in his mind, Hongli smiled broadly, took Chen Yuwei's hand, and the two continued to walk around the courtyard.
As darkness fell, the light outside flickered.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Yuwei and Hongli returned to the main hall once again.
Inside the main hall, the palace servants had already lit candles for illumination.
The dim light sets the tone for the entire room and also highlights the objects and decorations within.
"emperor"
"Wei'er"
At some point, the relationship between Hongli and Chen Yuwei suddenly became ambiguous.
Chen Yuwei sat on Hongli's lap, her hands gently encircling his neck, a hint of coquettish charm in her eyes.
Hongli stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. His pair of moist and translucent red lips made his chiseled features look even more alluring.
In terms of appearance, Hongli was far superior to Kangxi.
Chen Yuwei smiled and her eyes crinkled. "Your Majesty promised me that you would visit Yikun Palace more often these days."
Following her direct invitation from the Imperial Garden, Chen Yuwei is now continuing her direct approach to persuade Hongli to stay overnight.
Hongli reacted quickly, wrapping his arms around Chen Yuwei's waist and pulling her closer to him. "Is this what we were just talking about?"
Chen Yuwei nodded and then shook her head, finally giggling as she nestled into Hongli's arms, "Your Majesty, just say whether you agree or not."
Anyway, at this time, no one will be foolish enough to come and ruin things, so Chen Yuwei can completely relax.
Hongli moved his Adam's apple, his voice magnetic and husky, "Yes, I agree."
It's just a matter of coming over a few more times; he would have come even if the Imperial Concubine hadn't said so.
After not seeing her for several days, Hongli found that the Imperial Concubine had become even more alluring in some ways.
This little woman is truly his nemesis.
He wrapped his arms around the other person's hand and continued to climb upwards. Hongli felt the softness of the body and couldn't wait to pull the person into the inner room.
Chen Yuwei lowered her head slightly and her gaze met Hongli's, and she could naturally see the various desires filling his expression.
