Hongli stayed overnight in a relaxed and open manner for two days, venting all the energy he had accumulated over the past few days.
Then, instead of coming openly and honestly, Hongli first rested patiently at Jiuzhou Qingyan for a few days before turning around and going to the other party's palace with Keliyete Shuying, who was waiting for him everywhere.
Chen Yuwei: ...Not surprising at all, because Hongli is such a lecher!
'The host doesn't seem sad.'
The system felt that the emperor here really had the ability to turn his back on people. Just two days ago, he was all lovey-dovey with the host, and now he acted as if he couldn't live without the host.
He can turn around and get intimate with other people, completely forgetting about his host. It's truly a case of a split personality.
Chen Yuwei chuckled and leaned against the window to look at the scenery outside.
'What's there to be sad about? Hasn't Hongli always been like this?'
Hongli was the same way when he was in the mansion in his early years, but at that time he had someone above him to keep him in check, so he didn't do it as excessively as he does now.
Now that he has become an emperor with absolute authority, all the land under heaven belongs to him. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants.
'The fact that he could stay at my place for two nights shows that Hongli still has some feelings for me.'
For other people, staying one night would be considered a favor, even if it doesn't seem like much.
Spreading out her hands and rubbing her slightly sore wrists, Chen Yuwei looked up into the distance. "You've been strolling around the garden quite a few times lately. Any gossip? Tell me."
Having heard Xia He say it was too boring, Chen Yuwei decided to try to get some more information from the system.
system:……
A beeping sound immediately rang out, and the system became alert to Chen Yuwei's problem.
'What gossip? The system doesn't know. The host is so capable, why ask the system?'
It knew it had this ability; the scenes of being mocked by its host were still vivid in its mind, so it wouldn't bother to make a fool of itself.
Chen Yuwei felt truly wronged. What had she done to be so frightened? 'I just wanted to chat with you, otherwise you'd be lonely as a system.'
System: ...You're not alone, you're really not alone.
The system refused to be tricked into revealing information by Chen Yuwei. Although it had lost everything over the long period of time, it still had its bottom line.
It won't jump into a hole that's obviously being dug in front of it, like its host.
Seeing that the system seemed dead and remained inactive, Chen Yuwei sighed with feigned regret, "I was going to tell you about Keliye Teshuying and Gao Hongshan, but it seems the system already knows it doesn't want to hear anymore."
The system appeared: 'These two have reached an agreement; what's there to say?'
Chen Yuwei's lips curled into a subtle smile. "There are many ways to achieve cooperation. Keliye Teshuying's plan to use herself as bait to lure Gao Hongshan into the trap is far more cunning than that of Consort Chun and Consort Jia."
At least the foster mothers that Consort Chun and Consort Jia found for their sons were not sincere enough.
But the adoptive mother that Keliyete Shuying found was obviously easy to handle.
'Keliye Teshuying used a remedy for conceiving a child, learning from the mistakes of Consort Chun and Consort Jia.'
The system doesn't think that Keliye Teshuying's actions are much better than those of Chunpin and Jiapin.
Everyone wants to have children through external means, so why should anyone be considered more noble?
Chen Yuwei calmly shook her head, "She just said that she might not actually use it."
Besides, Keliyete Shuying's health condition is much better than that of Chunpin and Jiapin.
The herbal medicines prescribed by the Imperial Medical Academy are all for fertility enhancement, not for seeking children, so how can they be harmful?
The "Top-Tier Fertility Assistance Formula" can provide extra nutrition to the body, which will likely lead to an overabundance of nutrients.
It's impossible for things to turn out like those of Consort Chun and Consort Jia, where they ended up getting themselves into trouble.
Keliye Teshuying is very clever. First, she exposed the prescription to gain Gao Hongshan's trust, and then she conditioned her body to serve the emperor and try to get pregnant.
The plan is progressing smoothly, and next year we will see Prince Rong, Yongqi, who was highly regarded by Emperor Qianlong in history.
It remains to be seen whether Prince Rong will die young due to illness this time.
It's probably impossible, since Prince Rong didn't have any hereditary diseases.
But it's hard to say. Anyway, Chen Yuwei didn't know much about Yongqi. She only knew that Hongli liked him very much and that he was almost the undisputed heir when he was alive.
Even though Empress Hui-fa-na-la had a legitimate son, Yong-qi, by then, Yong-qi remained a bald prince without a title until his death, which shows how much Hongli disliked this son.
However, there's no use in saying all this. Nothing has been seen yet, and Keliyete Shuying's side has only just started moving. We need to give birth to Yongqi first before we can talk about anything else.
...
Keliyete Shuying put a lot of effort into certain aspects, and Hongli lingered at her residence for almost a month until he lost interest and finally turned and left.
However, a month is not a short time, and Keliyete Shuying worked very hard.
As soon as Hongli left, her body began to show obvious signs of reaction.
Instead of immediately informing Consort Gao Hongshan, Keliye Teshuying planned to keep the news to herself for the time being and reveal it later.
Su Ye was worried, "The Imperial Concubine sends people over every few days to inquire about the situation."
"Your Highness, once the news gets out, will the Imperial Concubine be displeased?"
Keliyete Shuying touched her belly, seemingly unconcerned. "All the Imperial Concubine wants is a child."
Even if they are dissatisfied, they will choose to endure it for the sake of their children.
Besides, it's not even a month yet, and I don't have absolute certainty that I'm pregnant.
This wasn't true; Keliyete Shuying confirmed that she was pregnant.
