"Wei'er, I've been gone for months. Have you missed me?"
Hongli pulled Chen Yuwei aside and started talking, but judging from his hand gestures, it was clearly not a proper conversation.
Chen Yuwei blushed slightly and spat at Hongli, "Your Majesty said so, how could I not miss you?"
Even if she really didn't want to, she couldn't say it out loud, because she and her son were still being supported by Hongli.
Hongli laughed heartily after hearing this, "When I am away from home, I miss Wei'er very much in my spare time."
The main difference between Chen Yuwei and the others is that Hongli values enjoyment in all aspects. After all, he is too arrogant and, having been promoted to the throne, he always wants the best.
Without Chen Yuwei, Hongli's experience in some matters was not as comfortable as it was in the palace.
Especially with his former concubines, there weren't many he could actually talk to to begin with.
Furthermore, after they arrived, they were always vying for his favor, leaving Hongli with nothing but disdain.
"Your Majesty~"
Chen Yuwei gave a coquettish laugh, wondering what she was thinking about. Could it be that this lecherous man was acting strangely again?
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more."
Seeing that Chen Yuwei was shy, Hongli stopped teasing her and started chatting with her about other things.
The main topic of conversation was the days he was away and the situation in the palace.
Chen Yuwei did not hide anything and recounted the events that happened between herself, Changchun Palace, Cining Palace, and the three palaces without any prejudice.
In any case, Hongli must have sent people to investigate, and perhaps he left some people in the palace to keep watch when he left.
There's no reason for Chen Yuwei to dig herself into trouble just to make a few nice remarks, thereby affecting her standing in Hongli's heart.
Well, let's just say what needs to be said. Anyway, the most exciting thing right now is the stalemate between Changchun Palace and Cining Palace. It's said that even Hongli (Emperor Hongli) is having a headache and doesn't know what to do.
Hongli: ...
Hongli was indeed troubled, but it wasn't that he had no solution; rather, he was pretending to be ignorant and unwilling to deal with it.
The reason is simple: as an emperor, he did not trust Empress Fucha very much.
It was Lady Fuca, not Empress Fuca Jinyi.
Empress Fucha Jinyi was born into the direct line of the Fucha clan. If the Empress wields too much power, and given that she also has a legitimate son, could there be a situation where the Empress's relatives become too powerful and threaten the imperial authority?
Therefore, Hongli was happy to see the struggle for power between Cining Palace and Changchun Palace.
However, Hongli couldn't say these words aloud, as it would severely damage the relationship between husband and wife.
Emperor Qianlong prided himself on being the best in everything, so how could he allow historical records to show that he and the Empress were not on good terms and had a rift between them?
"I don't know how to handle this matter either," Hongli sighed, feigning concern. "Wei'er, what do you think we should do?"
Hongli stared intently at Chen Yuwei, directly causing Chen Yuwei to have a heart attack from his question.
ha?
What does it have to do with her? She's so pitiful, she's never even touched the power of the palace.
Inwardly cursing Hongli for being inhuman and a dog, Chen Yuwei lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then shook her head again, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I did not know."
Neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress could be offended by Chen Yuwei, but similarly, Chen Yuwei, who did not offer a "concrete solution," would also be disliked by Hongli.
Before Hongli's dissatisfaction could surface, Chen Yuwei added, "I believe this matter should be handled according to the ancestral rules."
Anyway, rules are rules, and it's the best way to shut everyone up.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and the Empress Dowager are both very well-mannered people."
This matter will surely be resolved satisfactorily, so you don't need to worry too much.
Chen Yuwei tugged at Hongli's arm, swaying it left and right; it was clear she was trying to coax him into having his way.
But Hongli actually fell for it, and his smile became even brighter.
She was indeed his favorite woman; the words she spoke made him feel at ease.
Anyone else would definitely not have said that.
Hongli, whose eyes were already clouded by filters, placed Chen Yuwei in a very high position.
If Chen Yuwei knew, she would probably make Hongli get his eyes treated properly. What she said was a perfectly normal solution. Since the palace rules were useful, she would use them. With an ambiguous basis, how could she not take advantage of the situation?
Chen Yuwei said these words only after she had figured out Hongli's true thoughts.
If Hongli's true intention was not to let the two sides fight each other but to let one side take power, then that would be a completely different story.
They walked back and forth around the not-so-large courtyard until it got dark, then Hongli and Chen Yuwei turned around and went back to the palace.
The main hall had been lit by various candles for illumination by the palace servants.
Chen Yuwei and Hongli sat on the tatami mat for a while, and then they heard that hot water had been prepared in the bathroom, so they could go over to bathe and change.
The two went to different rooms. Chen Yuwei took a longer bath than Hongli. When she entered the palace, still covered in steam, Hongli was already sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed in his nightgown.
"emperor"
Chen Yuwei walked to Hongli's side with small steps, her beautiful and bright eyes tilted to the side.
Hongli reached out and took the handkerchief from Chen Yuwei's head, wiping it off. "Why didn't you wipe yourself clean before coming in?"
Chen Yuwei narrowed her eyes, enjoying the service Hongli was giving her. Although she was not yet skilled, her progress was obvious. "Your Majesty, I wish to see you as soon as possible."
Nonsense, if you don't spend much time together, the relationship won't be very strong just by sleeping together.
If Chen Yuwei wants to increase her status and importance in Hongli's heart, she must put in effort in all aspects.
Hongli has finally come here, so he should make the most of his free time.
Chen Yuwei's flattering words came naturally to Hongli, who was clearly already familiar with them.
His hands never stopped moving. To be honest, Hongli honed his skills in serving people under Chen Yuwei's tutelage.
