It's important to know that Hongli basically grew up in two places: Yuanmingyuan and Changchunyuan.
Later, when Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, Changchun Garden and Yuanmingyuan Garden were merged and jointly built, and Hongli became a frequent visitor to Yuanmingyuan Garden.
The scenery in the Yuanmingyuan Garden has changed drastically since the Yongzheng period. Even the names of each courtyard have been changed, and the outer perimeter of the Yuanmingyuan Garden is still being expanded and renovated.
It's such a pity that the descendants were so disappointing; the vast garden was destroyed, and countless treasures were lost overseas. It serves as a lesson.
However, those are things that happened later and have nothing to do with Chen Yuwei at the moment.
Turning her head to clear her mind of these random thoughts, Chen Yuwei felt she had rested enough, so she took Xia He's arm and got up to return to the palace.
Spring Scenery of Wuling
Yonghu and his children were playing in the courtyard. A human wall erected by the palace servants separated a small area, and the ground was cleaned to ensure safety.
Mother
Mother
"Come into the palace with your mother. How long have you been playing? Are you tired or hungry?"
Chen Yuwei waved, as if leading chicks, and led several children, their foreheads covered in sweat, inside.
"Mother, I'm not tired or hungry, we can play a little longer."
It's so much fun to play! It's much more interesting than learning to read with my master.
Yonghu took the lead and perfectly embodied the phrase "tiger-headed and tiger-brained".
“Mother, Hezhuo wants to go boating. Third Brother just agreed that Hezhuo can practice with Master Buku.”
"Yes, Mother, Fuling'a also wants to take a boat trip. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother all want to go."
Hojo and Fulinga are indeed sisters; they speak together whenever they want to.
The sound penetrated Chen Yuwei's eardrums directly, causing her a dull ache.
Reaching out and patting her forehead, Chen Yuwei patiently comforted the children, "When Mother has some free time in a few days, things at the Yuanmingyuan will keep me busy. Behave yourselves and remember to take your servants with you when you go out."
Xia He helped Chen Yuwei to the couch to rest, and at the same time, she used her hands to massage her master's shoulders to relax her.
Yonghu and the others nodded obediently. Boys tend to be more rough around the edges and don't like to bring cumbersome servants with them when they go out, but fortunately they are obedient enough to do whatever Chen Yuwei says without arguing.
The children were just too playful, and when they heard they had to wait a few more days before they could go out, they became listless, like dehydrated cabbages, and couldn't muster any energy.
Having no other choice, Chen Yuwei simply had Xia He bring the toys from the side hall and spread them out in the main hall, while she watched the children play.
Fortunately, she had many children, and with everyone interacting, she quickly shook off her bad mood and became very happy.
Chen Yuwei was in a daze, and after going out for a walk, she was exhausted. She fell asleep on the tatami shortly after sitting down.
When Chen Yuwei opened her eyes again, she saw that the lively hall had quieted down, and Xia He was quietly directing the palace servants to clean up the places they had played in.
"Master, you're awake."
Xia He quickly walked over and helped Chen Yuwei up from the bed.
Chen Yuwei nodded with an "Mmm" and looked out the window. It was still light outside. "Where are Yonghu and the others?" Although she had fallen asleep, she kept hearing sounds in her ears and couldn't sleep soundly.
"My lord, Prince Yonghu has been taken to Jiuzhou Qingyan by Eunuch Wu."
Prince Yonghong and Prince Yongkun returned to their residence, while Princess Hezhuo and Princess Fuling'a had already retired for the night.
After informing the master of the latest situation of the young masters, Xia He brought over a bowl of warm water to soothe the master's throat.
As the comfortably warm water slid down her throat, Chen Yuwei sighed contentedly. "Why did Yonghu go to Jiuzhou Qingyan? Do you know what the Emperor wanted to see Yonghu about?"
Xia He shook her head, "This servant does not know. Eunuch Wu did not say anything when he came over, but judging from his expression, it did not seem like a bad thing."
When Wu Shu came over, he had a cheerful look on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood no matter how you looked at it.
Chen Yuwei seemed thoughtful. "Really?"
Turning his head, he met Xia He's eyes. "Help me to the inner room."
I can't figure it out anyway. I'll ask Yonghu when he gets back.
Given Hongli's feelings for Yonghu, it's highly unlikely he intended to harm the child.
"yes"
Xia He helped Chen Yuwei into the inner room and lay her down on the soft bed. Covered with a thin blanket, Chen Yuwei closed her eyes and fell into a deeper sleep.
Elsewhere, Yonghu was also somewhat bewildered when Wu Shulai led him to Jiuzhou Qingyan.
Heaven knows that after he came to the Yuanmingyuan, he rarely had the chance to see his father, the Emperor.
It's not that my father doesn't like me; it's that he has a stepmother he likes even more, and as a young man, I certainly can't bother him.
"Your son greets Your Majesty."
Yonghu bowed respectfully and greeted Hongli with perfect manners, then ran up to Hongli and looked up to express his longing for his father.
Ouch
When Hongli met Yonghu's big, wet eyes, his heart couldn't help but soften.
He reached out and gently rubbed Yonghu's shiny little forehead, saying softly, "This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Father will bring you along. Yonghu, you must be well-behaved then."
Yonghu: ...Huh?
What's the meaning?
Yonghu scratched his head, not understanding what his father meant by attending together.
He was already present at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, as it was a grand event second only to the Hehuan Palace Banquet, and as a prince, he couldn't possibly miss it.
One of Yonghu's strengths is that he doesn't dwell on things he can't understand.
With a smile on his face, he did whatever Hongli said. When Yonghu returned from Jiuzhou Qingyan, he turned around and told his mother what Hongli had said to him.
"Mother, what do you think Father Emperor meant? Wasn't your son there that day?"
