"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; as long as Consort Yi is alive, we can't just abandon her."
Otherwise, wouldn't it damage her image? Jin Xiangling felt that although the old ginseng was precious, she had received a lot of benefits from Huang Wanyu, which she considered interest.
Wen Yu nodded in agreement, praising her master for his kind heart.
Kind-hearted?
"If Consort Jin is kind-hearted, then none of the concubines in the harem are unkind."
In the main hall of Yikun Palace, Chen Yuwei lay sprawled on the couch, listening to Xia He talk about the trivial matters of the harem, and couldn't help but offer her own opinions.
The most talked-about topic in the imperial harem recently is the sincere friendship between Jin Xiangling and Huang Wanyu.
Even the Emperor was moved and made several private visits to Qixiang Palace and Zhongcui Palace.
Anyway, the rumors were quite incredible, and all the others could do was watch the show.
However, the excitement wasn't all that great. As a result, anyone who got involved became a catalyst for the genuine feelings between Jin Xiangling and Huang Wanyu; in other words, they got caught up in it.
Xia He agreed wholeheartedly, “Master, Consort Jin’s reputation has improved considerably these days.”
I heard that Consort Yi was originally not scheduled to accompany the Empress on this inspection tour beyond the Great Wall, but Her Majesty was persuaded by Noble Lady Jin to take her along.
Chen Yuwei exclaimed, "Go to the borderlands? With Consort Yi's health, aren't you afraid she won't come back?"
Xia He nodded, "Yes, it was also Consort Yi's own idea."
Consort Jin said she was acting on someone's instructions, and everyone in the palace knew about it.
Because later, Consort Yi even sent her personal maid to deliver things to Qixiang Palace.
Of course, it wasn't just Consort Yi; there were others who also wanted to go to the borderlands and secretly tried to find Consort Jin, but ultimately failed.
"Once the Emperor and Empress set off, the harem will be idle for a few months. Then, you and I will be able to get some serious business done."
The Empress already knows that Chen Yuwei is to remain in the palace.
Fucha Jinyi even spoke with Chen Yuwei privately.
The conversation would naturally touch on palace affairs. Fucha Jinyi would definitely leave servants in Changchun Palace, ostensibly to assist Chen Yuwei in managing palace affairs and provide some help, but in reality, to monitor Chen Yuwei. During Fucha Jinyi's absence, there were certain areas that could not be touched too much.
Gong Quan was Fucha Jin Yi's Achilles' heel. Even if she didn't value Gong Quan highly, she certainly wouldn't give it away for no reason.
In Fucha Jinyi's view, leaving only one maid was enough to give Chen Yuwei face. If it were Gao Hongshan and Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin who stayed in the palace, Fucha Jinyi would surely have gone even further.
