But Yonghu saw the disheveled figures of Consort Chun and her son as they left.
Subsequently, the Emperor ordered the repair of the Princess's residence in the capital and summoned Princess Hejing, who was living in Khorchin, to return to the capital immediately.
"With the passing of the Empress Dowager, Princess Hejing is determined to return for the funeral."
"Yes, but could it be that Father Emperor ordered the Imperial Household Department to renovate the Princess's residence in the capital because he wants Princess Hejing to stay in the capital for a few more days?"
Yonghong and Yongkun were not close to Hejing. Although they were close in age, one lived in the princess's quarters and the other in the prince's quarters, so they did not have many opportunities to meet.
Furthermore, regarding the relationship between He Zhuo and Fu Ling A, Yong Hong and Yong Kun heard mostly negative news about He Jing.
Over time, any initial inexplicable goodwill vanished completely.
Their relationship now is so close that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them familiar strangers.
Yonghu told them to guess wildly, "It's possible that Princess Hejing will stay in the capital and not return to Khorchin."
Yonghong and Yongkun were both shocked. "No way."
Yonghu shrugged. “Why not? With the Empress Dowager gone, leaving only two daughters, how could Father Emperor bear to let Princess Hejing live in Khorchin for so long?”
Khorchin is nowhere near as developed as the capital. When Father Emperor misses Mother Empress, Princess Hejing can come to the capital at any time. She has seen the poem Father Emperor wrote to mourn Mother Empress.
Although he didn't understand appreciation, seeing the sadness on his father's face, he figured he must be missing him.
"Ha! Nostalgia my foot! Your imperial father cares more about his reputation than nostalgia."
After traveling from the Eastern Tour to the Imperial Palace, the Emperor had finally finished his charade.
They simply handed over the responsibility of the Empress's funeral arrangements to the concubines in the harem.
Of course, the main people in charge were Consort Xian, Consort Hui who had the support of the Empress Dowager, and Consort Ning who was recommended by Chen Yuwei.
As for Chen Yuwei herself, she was almost seven or eight months pregnant, so she didn't have the time to take charge of the Empress's funeral.
After the three Yonghu brothers had gone on their trip, they lost one stepmother and one stepmother. Before returning to the Prince's residence, they ran to Yikun Palace to complain to their mother.
Then came the conversation above, where Chen Yuwei pointed out Hongli's pretentiousness and praised Yonghu for doing a good job during the Eastern Tour, not causing any trouble for herself and her two younger brothers.
"You've been away for over a month, go back to your brother's place and get some rest."
Yonghu and the other two immediately took their leave, as they were indeed exhausted both physically and mentally after running around for several months.
