Chapter 416 Daily Life in the Palace (34)



Xia He quickly replaced the cups when she saw they were empty.

"Go to the side hall and call He Zhuo and Fu Ling'a here. It's cooler in the main hall."

Try to conserve ice. If you don't go out this summer, you'll need ice plenty of time in the future.

Xia He nodded in agreement, and soon after, He Zhuo and Fu Ling'a's voices resounded throughout the entire hall.

Chen Yuwei: ...No matter when, she would worry about her two daughters' excessive liveliness.

Being a princess in the Qing Dynasty was not easy, especially since Chen Yuwei had given birth to daughters before. In the previous mission world, Chen Yuwei had two daughters, one married into Mongolia and the other married into the capital, and they both lived relatively well.

But right now, these two... tsk, Chen Yuwei can't quite grasp what the children are thinking.

Forget it, let's wait until they're older. It's not good to make decisions too early. Besides, during the Qianlong era, Mongolia no longer needed to maintain relations like it did when the Qing Dynasty was founded.

If I remember correctly, many of Emperor Qianlong's adult daughters stayed in the capital.

Even if a legitimate princess was betrothed to a Mongol, she actually lived in the capital after the marriage until her death.

From this perspective, princesses born during the Qianlong era would have been happier than those born during the Kangxi era.

However, this is relative. In the end, princesses can only be considered a kind of political capital for the Qing Dynasty. If they are useful, they can be used; if they are not, they can be dismissed at will.

"Mother, Mother?"

Fu Ling'a lay between Chen Yuwei's legs, her eyes big and round.

Chen Yuwei snapped out of her daze, reached out and rubbed Fu Ling'a's little head, "Go play."

Fu Ling'a turned her head to look at her older sister, who was having a great time, and shook her head, saying, "Mother, I want to."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yu hurriedly brought good news: in half a month, the Emperor would take all the women of the harem to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to escape the summer heat.

ha?

Just got the news?

"Why is there movement now?"

Chen Yuwei pulled Fu Ling'a into her arms, and the child almost fell off the bed when he peeked out.

Xia Yu shook her head, "This servant only knows that the message came from Changchun Palace. The Emperor just went there, but he hasn't come out yet."

Xia He chimed in, "Was it Her Majesty the Empress who brought it up?"

Chen Yuwei nodded, "That's possible. The Empress has kept a low profile ever since the Jingren Palace incident. This time she mentioned going to escape the summer heat, maybe she wants to find some peace and quiet."

Given the current situation at Jingren Palace, it's impossible for Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi, who are more than seven months pregnant, to travel all the way to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat.
