It includes interesting places such as the Peony Pavilion, Peach Blossom Garden, and Hundred Animal Garden.
The Yuanmingyuan was built from the very beginning according to the standards of an imperial back garden.
The Yuanmingyuan Garden was many times larger than the Imperial Garden, so it certainly had everything it needed.
He Zhuo and Fu Ling'a exclaimed in amazement upon hearing their mother's words.
They have now been completely captivated by Chen Yuwei's longing for the Old Summer Palace.
Wow, they couldn't wait to visit such a fun place.
Joyful laughter emanated from the carriage. Although the sound didn't travel far, it could still be heard by the palace servants walking outside.
The Empress, whose carriage was traveling in front of Chen Yuwei, heard the commotion.
However, the Empress was in a good mood at this time. Chen Yuwei had previously guessed that the Empress's suggestion to go to the Yuanmingyuan Garden for summer retreat was a strategic retreat to avoid the troublemaking Empress Dowager.
In fact, Chen Yuwei guessed correctly, but not entirely.
One reason the Empress was avoiding the Empress Dowager was that she was pregnant.
Less than a month, or even only about twenty days.
This shows that the remedy the emperor gave to the empress for conceiving a child was indeed effective.
When the Empress learned of this news, she immediately ordered someone to summon the Emperor.
Hongli was naturally very happy; the meaning of having a legitimate son to him was self-evident.
So the couple discussed it and that's how their trip to the Old Summer Palace came about.
This trip to the Old Summer Palace was ostensibly for escaping the summer heat, but in reality, it was for the purpose of nurturing the fetus.
The Empress's pregnancy was of paramount importance, as it not only determined whether Fucha Jin Yi could secure her position as Empress, but also whether the Empress Dowager would continue to target her.
While the Emperor still had some feelings for her, Fucha Jinyi was determined to give it her all.
Once this pregnancy is successfully completed, and it is a prince, Fucha Jin Yi is certain that everything she has done before will be wiped clean by the Emperor.
"Consort Shu is in a good mood, unlike me, who left in a sorry state."
With a sigh, Fucha Jinyi looked outside through the curtains that had been tossed about.
The Forbidden City in the distance was no longer clearly visible. They spoke well this time, but ultimately they couldn't win against the Empress Dowager, which is why they left.
Empress Dowager, Fucha Jinyi never expected that she could get along so well with the Empress Dowager when she was the Fujin (principal wife), but things changed after she became the Empress. It seems that she could only share hardship but not wealth.
Ambition grows rapidly when nurtured by power.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can no longer go back to their original way of getting along. They might pretend to be nice when they meet, but deep down, they probably feel like they want to kill each other.
Shaking her head to shake off these inexplicable and chaotic emotions, Fucha Jinyi smiled and asked Donghan to bring her some pastries and snacks.
This pregnancy was entirely due to external aids.
The imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Academy clearly stated that there was nothing wrong with the prescription; the only pity was that it consumed too much of the mother's nutrition, requiring constant replenishment and conditioning.
Fucha Jinyi's health was already poor, and now that she is pregnant again, the burden is even heavier.
There was no other way but to use a two-pronged approach: taking medicine to prevent miscarriage and nourishing the body, and eating pastries and other foods, all in order to preserve the child in her womb.
As for the consequences of whether her body was properly repaired or not, Fucha Jinyi didn't even think about it.
While Fucha Jinyi was lost in thought, Donghan had already opened the food box, and the prepared pastries inside were placed on the small octagonal table.
Taking advantage of the carriage ride, Fucha Jinyi picked up a piece and put it in her mouth to chew.
Because the food was too dry and hard, Fucha Jinyi needed to drink water to soothe her throat and also to get the food into her stomach.
Seeing that her master was eating so uncomfortably, Dongxue quickly reached out and patted his back to help him catch his breath.
The nausea made Fucha Jinyi want to vomit the food in her stomach.
While tightly covering her mouth with a handkerchief, Fucha Jinyi gestured to Donghan to quickly clear the table of pastries and food that had been mostly eaten. She leaned back against the carriage behind her and lay down to make herself more comfortable.
It has to be said that short-distance travel outside the uterus during early pregnancy is extremely painful.
Fortunately, the Yuanmingyuan was the Emperor's territory, so there was no fear that the Empress Dowager would reach out to the Yuanmingyuan. She was also able to take the opportunity to recuperate and try to recover her health.
Fucha Jinyi let out a breath, smiled slightly, and closed her eyes to rest.
The carriage continued its journey. Because the Old Summer Palace was located in the suburbs, by the time the group arrived at their destination, the sun was already setting in the west.
This was the result of the Emperor's special instructions. There were also three pregnant women in the carriage. Chen Yuwei and Fucha Jinyi held a significant place in Hongli's heart, so the carriage naturally had to be handled with utmost care as it traveled.
This time, Chen Yuwei stayed at Wuling Chunse, which was originally called Taohuawu. Now it has been renamed by Hongli and is not only much larger, but the surrounding scenery is also much better.
Chen Yuwei arrived late that day and had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the garden. Instead, she asked someone to quickly remove her makeup and wash up. After having dinner, she went to bed early.
When Chen Yuwei opened her eyes the next day, she heard from Xia He that the Emperor had not gone to Changchun Immortal Hall to accompany the Empress, nor had he stayed at Jiuzhou Qingyan to sleep alone. Instead, he went to Bitong Academy, where Lu Xuening was, to rest.
ha?
Chen Yuwei was stunned when she heard the news. Lu Xuening was only fourteen years old. Hongli was simply a beast.
"They went to Consort Lu's place, not Consort Chun's, where they live together?"
Chen Yuwei asked again uncertainly, and after receiving Xia He's affirmative answer, she was speechless.
Lu Xuening entered the palace last year, exceeding the minimum age for the Manchu selection of imperial concubines. Now, only a year later, she is still a young girl who hasn't fully grown up. When did Hongli's tastes deteriorate? Isn't this the type that Kangxi liked in his later years? Delicate, frail, fair-skinned, and slender.
