With her hand above her forehead to block the sunlight streaming in, Chen Yuwei squinted and tried to calm herself down.
Wu Shulai nodded, "Your Majesty, no one has come over during this time."
There are no blind fools out there; even if there were, they would all be blocked at the gate.
Xia He added in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Princess Wuyunzhu has also been lulled to sleep by her wet nurse."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuwei exclaimed "Oh," and asked, "Didn't Wuyunzhu cause any trouble this time?"
When she couldn't find Chen Yuwei, Wuyunzhu would always bury her head and cry.
Chen Yuwei tried to correct the dark cloud-like shape of her hair for a long time, but it was never able to.
I wonder who she took after? She's too clingy in this respect.
Xia He shook her head, "The princess is perfectly fine. The wet nurse said she was just tired at the horse farm."
Hongli personally led Wuyunzhu on a frantic run, and even Hongli couldn't keep up, let alone the young Wuyunzhu.
Chen Yuwei fanned the back of her hand and then mentioned the meals cooked in the small kitchen.
Whether Hongli comes or not, the small kitchen will prepare the meals. Because of Wuyunzhu, Chen Yuwei has no choice but to entrust her daily meals to the small kitchen. The servants in the main kitchen are still not very useful.
"Master, everything is ready."
Xia He quickly replied, realizing that her mistress was referring to the nourishing soup for the emperor.

Wu Yunzhu loves meat, and the small kitchen mainly cooks meat dishes.
Chen Yuwei held the handkerchief in her hand. Seeing Xia He walk away, she smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Wu Shulai before returning to her room to rest.
...
In mid-August, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Hongli returned to the palace with his concubines who were staying at the summer palace.
The first thing to do upon returning to the palace was to properly organize the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Chen Yuwei had a heavy responsibility, handling both festival banquets and dowry preparations, keeping her extremely busy.
If the congratulatory gift to be sent to Yonghe Palace hadn't been prepared well in advance, this matter might have been forgotten.
However, Chen Yuwei had Xia He in mind and hadn't forgotten, but Hongli forgot to give Wu Shulai a word of advice. As a result, the congratulatory gift that Wu Shulai sent was too ordinary. Hongli was not affected, but Wu Shulai's reputation in Yonghe Palace became harsh.
The words were the same nonsense that Xia He had learned to tell Chen Yuwei when she was gossiping.
Neither Chen Yuwei nor her servant took it to heart, but Xia Yu did. After discussing it with Xia He, they decided to put a bad word to Wu Shulai.
"Therefore, Wu Shulai harbored resentment towards Yonghe Palace, and consequently canceled the banquet that the Emperor wanted to hold for Yongqi."
Does Wu Shulai have such great ability to persuade Hongli? Unless Hongli didn't have a strong desire for this matter in the first place.
