Once the Empress is able to conceive and give birth, Yongcheng will return to where he came from.
From beginning to end, the Empress never truly had the idea of adopting Yongcheng.
She just went out for a run and came back with a big, healthy baby.
Tsk tsk, no wonder she is the Empress, the mother of the nation, she is much more capable than these people.
The first thing the Empress did upon returning to the palace was to come to Yikun Palace to reclaim her power.
Chen Yuwei: ...
While complaining about how petty the Empress was, Chen Yuwei was also glad that the Prince's and Princess's quarters had been handled properly. Otherwise, if the Empress had seen them, who knows what she would have imagined.
The Empress's fragility and sensitivity increased daily with the loss of her legitimate son, especially with the ever-watchful Empress Dowager standing beside her.
Anyone with a weaker mental fortitude would be terrified by this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair.
As soon as Chen Yuwei handed over the accounts, the Empress turned around and carefully reviewed all the palace affairs.
It was determined that certain important places, such as the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Kitchen, were not subject to outside interference.
The Empress nodded in satisfaction and once again instructed Donghan to inform everyone to prepare for their upcoming trip to the Yuanmingyuan Garden for summer retreat.
So fast?!
When Chen Yuwei received the message, she complained to Xia He how fast time had passed.

Xia He was also completely confused, thinking to herself that in previous years they would not set off until June, but this year it was so rushed and fast, and it seemed that staying in the Forbidden City for a longer period of time would make her uncomfortable.
"Follow the Empress's arrangements. If you wish to go to the Old Summer Palace, then go."
Chen Yuwei waved her hand and told Xia He to quickly arrange for someone to pack some necessary items.
Especially for the things the children will need, although we go to Yuanmingyuan every year, it's not a place they live permanently, so we need to prepare more so that we won't be caught off guard if something happens.
Before leaving the Forbidden City to escape the summer heat at the Old Summer Palace, Hongli made a special trip to Yikun Palace with some local specialties he had collected along the way.
Chen Yuwei looked at Hongli with a resentful expression, and her recitation of "Your Majesty" was so poignant that it stunned Hongli on the spot.
His guilty conscience became increasingly apparent, and Hongli pulled Chen Yuwei aside and called her "my beloved concubine" repeatedly.
Chen Yuwei rolled her eyes inwardly, determined to make up for the losses from the Emperor.
