Parents who love their children should consider their well-being deeply.
As the principal wives of the Wanyan and Zhaojia clans, their household must have had secondary wives and concubines.
Of course, there were also several princes and princesses born out of wedlock. However, Yonghong and Yongkun treated their principal wives with respect, which gave those people no reason to confront them. This allowed them to firmly control the household affairs and maintain their dignity as principal wives.
But as his rank as a prince rose, the number of women around him increased.
They could not guarantee that their children would gain the upper hand in the household.
Therefore, seeing Chen Yuwei's different attitude towards the younger generation, they all tacitly seized this opportunity to try their best to benefit their own children.
Then Chen Yuwei discovered that Mian Si and Mian Jin had entered the palace far more often than anyone else.
Even the Wanyan and Zhaojia clansmen were in perfect agreement, both choosing to conceal the truth from the Xilin Gioro clan.
Chen Yuwei: ?
Did these two people misunderstand something? Or maybe I'm just overthinking things.
After seeing Mian Si and Mian Jin off once again, Chen Yuwei leaned lazily against the soft pillows and called Xia He over, "Did the Fourth and Fifth Princesses ask you anything in private?"
Xia He shook her head, "No, but the Fourth and Fifth Princes did ask me to take good care of the two young princes."
It's not just the Wanyan and Zhaojia clans who said this; the Xilin Gioro clan also said it.
Xia He took it as just polite conversation and didn't take it to heart at all.
Chen Yuwei, however, looked surprised, her eyes flickering slightly. "You asked me to take good care of you?"
Xia He nodded slightly, then asked hesitantly, "Is there something wrong?"
I don't think so. It's just a few ordinary words, which the wives of the princes often say.
Chen Yuwei smiled and interrupted Xia He's speculation as she grew increasingly suspicious. "It's nothing. I was just asking. They probably don't mean anything by it." Even if they did, Xia He had no idea, and probing would be pointless.
After all, no one except Chen Yuwei knows about these thoughts.
"Go ahead and get busy, I'll rest for myself." Taking care of children is exhausting.
Chen Yuwei's body is no longer young, and she has been putting in too much effort lately, so she feels a little lacking in energy when she wakes up in the morning.
Well, I've enjoyed a life of comfort for so many years, and I can't handle a little hardship all of a sudden.
However, if you actually train them, you will benefit more from it in the future.
Chen Yuwei mentally encouraged herself while simultaneously summoning the system in her mind for a simple, everyday chat.
system:……
"The host wants to know how the emperor is doing outside the palace? It's still the same as always. He's being treated very well by the officials in Jiangnan, and it seems he's still a bit reluctant to come back."
The system felt that this emperor differed greatly from the historical records.
He had observed the other party in the palace for many years and found absolutely no potential to be a wise ruler.
The only redeeming quality he possesses is that, despite his capricious nature, he has a bottom line.
The fact that the Qing Dynasty has been able to function well to this day, with peace prevailing in the surrounding world and the people living comfortably, is all thanks to the solid foundation laid in the past.
However, it also made some discoveries: the once vibrant court was gradually becoming corrupt and conservative, like a stagnant pool.
If this continues unchecked, it is entirely predictable that the country will perish.
"If you don't want to come back, then don't come back," she thought, "anyway, she's doing quite well as long as the Emperor isn't coming back."
Chen Yuwei rolled her eyes and turned to lie down further inside.
I must say, the newly made soft pillow is really comfortable to lie on.
Chen Yuwei relaxed completely, "There are plenty of people in the Jiangnan officialdom who know how to flatter."
Just watch, when I return this time, the harem will surely have a few more sisters.
I just hope that the Emperor won't turn his joy into sorrow, as there are quite a few powerful forces over there.
This time, the Emperor traveled light, and he didn't have as many guards with him as before.
If you accidentally get injured or something, it's not worth the risk.
Chen Yuwei pondered with ill intent what the Emperor might encounter in the south.
It's unclear whether she possessed the power of words or whether it was simply not feasible for Jiangnan to go at that time.
During one of his incognito visits, the emperor was stabbed in the arm, forcing him to postpone his planned return to the palace.
When the message arrived at the palace, Chen Yuwei had already learned of the situation from the system's exaggerated reactions.
Therefore, Chen Yuwei remained calm and composed. Her composure in the face of danger successfully quelled the wavering concubines in the harem, and she even received praise from the Empress Dowager.
'Are you sure it's a compliment and not sarcastic?' Good heavens, anyone who didn't know better would think she had someone stab the Emperor.
Whether the Empress Dowager's words were pleasant or not, Chen Yuwei didn't hear anything good in them.
However, I can understand the feelings of an elderly mother who only has one son.
Chen Yuwei didn't argue with the Empress Dowager too much and continued to do her own thing as usual.
She secretly mentored Mian Si and Mian Jin, teaching them things by reciting them verbally so that they could absorb and understand them.
Despite their young age, Mian Si and Mian Jin are quite insightful in their understanding.
At least Chen Yuwei doesn't have to worry about her hard work in raising her child going to waste.
Compared to the Empress Dowager's picks and choices, Chen Yuwei trusted her own judgment more.
Because of his physical injury, Hongli spent half a month in Jiangnan before slowly setting off to return to the capital.
By the time Hongli returned to the capital by boat, it was already late May or early June.
Well, the sun was shining brightly in the Forbidden City at this time, and the emperor had no desire to enter the palace at all, so he simply went to the cooler Yuanmingyuan instead.
