Historically, princesses who are too naive do not live long. Chen Yuwei will not raise a second Mongolian queen, but she is also not interested in letting her two daughters be naive and innocent.
He Zhuo, along with Fu Ling'a and Yong Wei, went to the tatami room and whispered among themselves.
Seeing this, Chen Yuwei waved her hand and told Xia He to take out the palace accounts handed over by the Empress. She took the opportunity to look through them from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has given us all the power in the palace this time, and she hasn't even left anyone behind. Could she be setting a trap for us?"
Xia He frowned, her suspicion of others ingrained in her very being.
In Xia He's opinion, anyone who treats Yikun Palace too well for no reason is up to no good.
Chen Yuwei flipped through the accounts in her hand and casually replied, "Perhaps the Empress felt that she would not need them in the future, so she simply did not keep them."
Don't need it?
Why is it not needed?
The Empress will definitely return once she leaves the palace. Could it be that she will return to cultivate her character and no longer concern herself with palace affairs?
Xia He followed her master's words and thought about it, but she still couldn't quite understand.
Hmm, perhaps this is the difference between myself and my master, or maybe I've overlooked something.
Xia He scratched her head, deciding to stop thinking about it. Since her mistress spoke so casually, the empress probably didn't have any ulterior motives.
Bringing over writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for the master's occasional needs, Xia He composed herself and served attentively.
Chen Yuwei, however, mentally added a sentence she hadn't finished saying.
The Empress may have also realized her poor health.
What's the use of palace power if you can never return to the palace and it's just a lifeless thing?
This time, the Empress is probably going all out, with no one knowing how many people will fall during this seemingly ordinary eastern tour.
To be honest, Chen Yuwei was looking forward to the scene when the emperor returned to the palace.
If more than half of the people are gone, it would be a very good result for the development of the entire harem.
They're bringing in new talent and creating new forces.
"Xiahe, summon the servants from the Imperial Household Department and ask them what these expenses are that have exceeded the limit so much for several months in a row."
I never cause them trouble in these matters, and they shouldn't try to fool me easily.
"This time, I have taken over the management of palace affairs; the Empress is not in the inner palace."
Chen Yuwei casually pointed to a few obvious problems, then stood up, supporting her stomach.
Sitting in the chair for too long makes Chen Yuwei's body feel a bit weak.
For safety reasons, she would always move around to relieve her fatigue.
While talking to Xia He, Chen Yuwei went to the tatami room where He Zhuo and the other two were playing.
Mother
When Fu Ling'a saw Chen Yuwei coming over, he smiled and showed her a seat.
Chen Yuwei sat down and pointed to the toys that they had half-placed.
"Mother, can I ask the servants to make another set?"
Yongwei was the most playful of the three. He held a few pieces in each hand and looked at Chen Yuwei's location with his big, dark eyes.
Chen Yuwei remained calm and said, "Don't you already have one? Why do you need another one?"
Yongwei pouted, "It's all because of Seventh Brother. My son saw that he liked it, so I had to give it to him."
However, Yongwei didn't suffer any loss. Yongrong had a biological mother and an adoptive mother, and she had a lot of good things. Yongwei took the opportunity to exchange them for something even better.
Looking into her youngest son's bright, darting eyes, Chen Yuwei knew that the child had something on his mind that he hadn't fully expressed. She nodded and told Xia He to remember it, without pressing him for details.
However, Hojo and Fulinga, who were standing to the side, were more concerned about these things.
Before Yongwei could speak, Hezhuo and Fuling'a added a few more bad things about Yongrong.
It's not exactly bad news, it's just that Yongrong is a bit arrogant in his daily life, he doesn't greet people when he sees them, and he's also not good to the servants who serve him.
"I don't know what he's so proud of. Mother, I heard him saying bad things about Third Brother just a couple of days ago."
Fu Ling wrinkled her delicate nose. She really disliked Yong Rong because he was just too annoying.
He Zhuo echoed Fu Ling'a's words, "Seventh Brother might still cause trouble during this eastern tour."
The two girls are exposed to many things on a daily basis, so they are able to grasp some of the little schemes and scheming in the harem.
Especially when it comes to certain inexplicable acts of malice, they feel it much more intensely than Yongwei and the others.
Yongwei tilted his head, "Seventh Brother has this ability? He was bullied by Sixth Brother and cried before, but he's happy now."
Fortunately, Sixth Brother has already left, out of sight, out of mind. Otherwise, not to mention how wrong Seventh Brother's behavior was, he himself would still be suppressed by Sixth Brother and unable to lift his head.
According to Third Brother, Seventh Brother is too stupid; he relied entirely on Consort Xian and Consort Chun before.
The three of them did not have a good relationship with Yongcheng, and Yongwei did not have much contact with him since he lived in the brother's residence.
Yongcheng died before the New Year, and the three younger children were only depressed for a few days. After the initial shock passed, they quickly recovered.
However, Chen Yuwei felt that some things shouldn't be too high-profile, so she deliberately kept them under control to avoid attracting too much hatred.
Otherwise, faced with two mothers who have lost their children, who knows what they might do if they lose their minds?
Anyway, Chen Yuwei didn't want to get herself into trouble, and the children also deliberately avoided these things.
From what we've seen so far, their precautions are quite effective, at least for the few people still in the palace, their safety has been greatly enhanced.
As for the three Yonghu brothers who followed her out of the palace, well, Chen Yuwei believed that with their intelligence, they should be able to resolve the situation in time.
I've warned them so many times already. If Yonghu and his two friends still get caught up in it, then it's just a matter of intelligence. Chen Yuwei can't save them (this probability is relatively low because causing trouble for Yonghu and his two friends is something where the effort and reward are completely disproportionate. Unless someone is blinded, no one would choose to do it).
