When Chen Yuwei took them away, the three children were still too young to understand what they were about to face.
In their eyes, including Yonghu, the person involved, they all thought that Master Buku was a high-level tool to play with them.
Little did they know that Hongli's move, though initially intended to appease them, was actually a calculated move when he sent Wu Shu to find someone.
Yonghu looks healthy and fit. If he practices his skills, what if he really trains a general for the Qing Dynasty? Wow, that would be incredible!
He reached out and touched his chin, and Hongli's previously indifferent heart suddenly stirred.
It's not that Hongli was on guard against anything; father and son go to war together.
It's always more reassuring to spend energy cultivating one's own son than to cultivate an outsider.
Unbeknownst to Chen Yuwei, Wu Shulai was even more dedicated to finding people because of Hongli's serious attitude.
After five days, Wu Shulai selected several outstanding Buku masters.
After delivering a long list to Hongli's desk, Wu Shulai smiled and gracefully withdrew from the scene.
When Hongli received the list, he generously agreed to take all the names.
"Not only Yonghu, but also Yonghong and Yongkun, two younger ones, are in Yikun Palace."
Since that's been arranged, let's arrange everything else as well.
Hongli got up from the chair and walked around the table.
"Wu Shulai, go and prepare the sedan chair. We will go with you to Yikun Palace."
Of course, Hongli had to personally make the trip to see how much he cared about such good news.
Besides, he had promised the Imperial Concubine that he would visit Yikun Palace more often as a way of making up for it, and now was the perfect time.
“Zha”
Wu Shulai responded in a low voice, then turned around and instructed the eunuchs at the door to get busy.
Soon, the palanquin, representing the emperor's honor, was prepared.
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hongli boarded a sedan chair and was carried by eunuchs all the way to the Yikun Palace.
Yikun Palace Main Hall
Chen Yuwei and Xia He were chatting and laughing about matters concerning the imperial harem.
Some clues have already emerged regarding Hongli's trip to the border region in May.
The news was naturally not released by Yikun Palace; Chen Yuwei wasn't that free for the time being.
It's Chengqian Palace across the street.
Gao Hongshan somehow got into a quarrel with Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin. During their argument, they brought up this incident, and Gao Hongshan even made a sarcastic remark about how Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin was disliked.
Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin didn't reveal anything, but Fu Cha Jin Yi in Chang Chun Palace was furious with Gao Hong Shan.
Fucha Jinyi had never seen a woman as stupid as Gao Hongshan.
Even in verbal disputes, he rarely comes out on top in a real fight.
Moreover, this person doesn't know how to read people's expressions, and his trip to the borderlands has absolutely nothing to do with Gao Hongshan or Huifa Nara Tanyin.
Now that he's saying it so casually, it makes it seem like the Emperor values Gao Hongshan highly and did it on purpose.
A clear, pleasant laugh escaped Chen Yuwei's lips. She covered her mouth with her hand, realizing that it made sense that Gao Hongshan had died earlier than Fucha Jinyi.
With Gao Bin gone, Gao Hongshan's brains are indeed no match for his.
"Before I could say anything, they started arguing like dogs."
"Oh dear," Chen Yuwei shook her head, unsure whether to feel sorry for herself or laugh at others.
Taking such a concubine to the borderlands would probably make Hongli feel ashamed.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."
At the door, Xia Yu suddenly relayed a message, successfully interrupting Chen Yuwei and Xia He's conversation.
Chen Yuwei got up from beside the octagonal table and stared blankly outside.
"Speak of the devil and he appears! Quick, get ready, come with me to welcome the Emperor."
Why did the Emperor come over at this time? Could it be related to the gossip she just mentioned?
Chen Yuwei's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts, but she kept moving.
Now that the Emperor has come, she has no choice but to go and greet him.
Just as I stepped out of the main hall, I encountered the bright yellow figure walking towards me.
Chen Yuwei smiled and bowed to greet him, but before she could even stand up, the Emperor lifted her up.
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities."
"Your Majesty, etiquette must not be disregarded."
The two spoke in high-sounding, official language, but their eyes were locked in a fierce gaze, showing no sign of distance between them.
Even when Chen Yuwei placed her palm on the back of Hongli's hand, she still had the mood to scratch her fingers slightly.
Hongli: ...
Hongli pulled Chen Yuwei into the room with a light step, asking, "What are you doing in the palace?"
Chen Yuwei pointed to the storybook that was still on the octagonal table, "I'm bored, so I'm reading the storybook that His Majesty sent over."
As a result, after opening only a few pages of the storybook, he started chatting with Xia He about some palace gossip.
If Hongli hadn't come at this time, we might have had a much longer conversation.
Upon hearing this, Hongli responded with an "Oh," and said, "I have a few more storybooks with me. I'll have Wu Shu bring them to you later."
The study was not just filled with serious books, and Hongli had never been a very upright person.
He had a lot of random books, all of which were things Wu Shulai had found for him outside the palace to amuse him.
However, the palace is always busy, and even if Hongli is not focused on his duties, he cannot truly ignore politics.
Most of those storybooks became tools for decorating studies.
It's not surprising to Hongli that he's now being casually given away.
Chen Yuwei smiled and thanked her, "Then my life will be much easier from now on."
Leaning against Hongli's shoulder, Chen Yuwei raised her eyebrows, her smug expression putting Hongli in a good mood.
"If you like, you can tell Wu Shu. I have some more stories in my study."
Well, it's more than just a little; even Hongli was being conservative in saying that.
