"Just now, she left my side; she had a fight with me."
Using a joking tone, Chen Yuwei subtly brought up Yonghu's matter, then pulled Hongli to sit down, busily serving him tea and water.
Hongli reached out and pulled Chen Yuwei, "You should sit down and rest for a while too."
"Yonghu is not a big deal. I will have Wu Shu come later to select a few capable people to personally mentor Yonghu."
Chen Yuwei smiled broadly, "On behalf of Yonghu, I thank Your Majesty."
Hongli reached out and touched the tip of his nose. "No need for formalities. I've been so grateful to you these past few days, Wei'er."
Chen Yuwei reached out and gently covered Hongli's mouth, blinking her eyes. "If Your Majesty is being too polite with me, I will be heartbroken."
Why are they thanking each other for no reason? This constant thanking makes their relationship seem distant.
Although Chen Yuwei didn't think the two of them could be very close.
But everyone is acting; one can't get too caught up in it, but one also can't break free from the act.
Hongli laughed heartily and took Chen Yuwei's hands in his own.
"Wei'er and I really don't need to be so polite."
"It's good that Your Majesty understands."
Chen Yuwei rested her head on Hongli's shoulder and closed her eyes slightly.
That night, Hongli stayed at Chen Yuwei's place.
Both of them were sleeping peacefully, and they didn't do anything shameful in between.
Although Hongli's leg injury had healed, scars still remained on his body.
Emperor Qianlong prided himself on being a perfectionist and would never allow others to see his imperfections.
Wrapped tightly in the bedding, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, Hongli drifted off into a sweet dream.
The next morning, Hongli accompanied Chen Yuwei to breakfast before leaving.
"Your Majesty"
Xia He held Chen Yuwei's wrist, and the two of them stood at the entrance of the yurt watching Hongli walk away.
"Let's go back."
Chen Yuwei turned around and read out a few names, asking Xia He to invite the people over.
Xia He nodded in agreement, but after a short while, she came back in with a grim expression.
"Your Majesty, the several consorts you mentioned are all currently staying with Consort Dun."
Xia He didn't see anyone at all and had to return empty-handed.
"Consort Dun?" What use is it for this man to summon these wives?
Chen Yuwei seemed to understand something, "Since we didn't run into anyone, then let's just forget about it."
She was just trying to chat and get some information, but since that didn't work, she decided to give up.
As a result, Chen Yuwei's rest lasted until the day Hongli set off to return to the palace.
Good heavens, Hongli came to appease her at night, and Consort Dun asserted her dominance during the day.
No wonder! It turns out I've been sidelined by Consort Dun.
