Chen Yuwei chose cold over hot, so Xia He absolutely refused to remove the ice basin.
"Stop busy, you should take a break too. How much longer until we stop and set up camp?"
Not every time can we find a place to stay, and there are several days when we have to sleep outdoors in the open.
Fortunately, emperors bring enough items when they travel, so even setting up a heavy tent is easy.
Chen Yuwei followed Hongli around, enduring all sorts of hardships, feeling like she was about to lose half her life.
"There's still half an hour left. The servant in front has already come to deliver the message."
After Xia He finished speaking in a low voice, she moved the incense burner to the side.
The scent lingering in Chen Yuwei's nose had faded a bit. She straightened up, opened her eyes, and looked out the window.
Only a few green hues were visible in the distance; the majority of the landscape was a mix of various shades of yellow.
She lost interest after just one glance, and Chen Yuwei gestured for Xia He to pour her a cup of tea to cleanse her palate.
The teapot contains brewed fruit tea, which has a light flavor and is very easy to prepare.

Therefore, when they appear later, they must show the appropriate demeanor.
Otherwise, if they all appeared looking listless and dispirited, people who didn't know better would think that the Qing Dynasty couldn't afford to eat.
The sun sets, and the moon rises.
After taking a quick shower, Chen Yuwei drank her medicine and lay down to rest.
Many people, like Chen Yuwei, crammed for exams at the last minute, but apart from a few with exceptionally good health, they all lost a significant amount of weight.
Left with no other choice, Chen Yuwei could only take out the pills to replenish her strength.
The system's intervention yielded remarkable results.
When the carriage arrived at Mulan Qiumi, Chen Yuwei had regained her energetic self. She led Consort Dun and others to meet with Hongli, and took the opportunity to meet the burly and rugged Mongolian prince, princess, and their children.
