Now that she has successfully figured out Hongli's background, in other words, she is in a safe position.
"When we return to Wuling Spring Scenery, have the people from Yuanmingyuan compile a list of the people the Emperor visited and send it to us."
The concubines His Majesty brought back from Jiangnan this time must be made available promptly.
Otherwise, while the Yuanmingyuan Garden might have been a fairly spacious place to stay, it would have been chaotic and disorganized once they returned to the Forbidden City.
Chen Yuwei needs to have a general expectation in mind first, so that she can proceed in an orderly manner.
Xia He nodded in agreement and told the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to keep their balance. She then asked a few more questions about Consort Xian's condition.
Consort Xian accompanied the Emperor on his southern tour this time, so she must have some account books recording the events of the tour. Logically, these should be sent to them.
But whether it's because the time hasn't come yet or they've been too busy to notice, there's been no movement from Consort Xian's side for the time being.
"Perhaps he has something he hasn't finished. Send someone over to inquire later."
Consort Xian's two children have arrived at Yuanmingyuan. Yongqi's situation is special, so he has not moved to the Prince's Residence and is currently still living with Consort Xian.
Consort Xian's daughter, who had been raised by Consort Yu for a period of time, is now back with Consort Xian and is not well received as a son.
However, such things are inevitable. Even the emperor openly favors sons over daughters, let alone the women in the harem.
Everyone implicitly believes that sons are more important than daughters, even daughters from noble families.
Xia He quietly agreed, then looked up and saw her master reach out and rub his forehead. Seeing this, she quickly reminded the eunuchs to walk in the shade.
The sun overhead was so hot it was blinding. It was just too good to be true that I came at such a convenient time; otherwise, I would have had several fans to keep cool.
Stop
Passing by an artificial hill, Chen Yuwei raised her hand and waved before getting out of the sedan chair.
Xia He reached out to support him, "Master."
"There's nothing to do going back at this hour, so I might as well wander around outside a bit more."
After speaking, Chen Yuwei glanced around and finally fixed her gaze on the pavilion behind the artificial hill.
Let's go over there.
"yes"
Xia He turned and instructed the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to wait around, while she carefully helped her mistress walk forward.
Surrounded by artificial hills and lush vegetation, Chen Yuwei, wearing platform shoes, walked at a leisurely pace.
Soon, we arrived at the pavilion.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away the restlessness that had been rising within Chen Yuwei.
Her sideburns were neatly gathered and tied up. Chen Yuwei had changed into a jade headdress today, which looked extremely beautiful from afar, but her weight made her head feel heavy.
Reaching out to smooth the ornaments to make sure they wouldn't fall off, Chen Yuwei took the round fan from Xia He and stood beside the pillar, slowly fanning herself.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a person suddenly appeared in the distance from the pavilion.
Dressed in palace attire, her appearance was simple, and she almost fell several times because she walked a little too fast.
"Xia He, go wait to the side. You don't need to come over unless I call you."
Upon hearing this, Xia He looked up at the woman in palace attire who was getting closer and closer. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and left the pavilion to go elsewhere.
Chen Yuwei remained calm and composed, and after the person arrived, she smiled and nodded, "Consort Ning."
"Imperial Noble Consort"
Unlike her earlier aloof and talented persona, Consort Ning has been excessively quiet in recent years.
She could even be described as having no presence at all. It was as if, once her son left, Consort Ning lost her original charm and grace, becoming nothing more than an empty shell.
"I thought you wouldn't come, after all, it's been a few years since Yongyue left the palace."
Yongyue was born in the sixteenth year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign. She is now nine years old and has long passed the age of needing to live independently in the princes' study.
Consort Ning kept her head down, her face always carrying a faint trace of sorrow.
"I didn't want to come here either, but I miss Yongyue outside the palace more."
Moreover, the Yehenara clan is merely my maternal family; their situation is far less optimistic than that of those in the palace.
Furthermore, if the delay continues, Consort Ning fears that the Emperor will completely forget about the son she gave birth to.
It wasn't that the Yehenara clan was bad; it was just that as Yongyue grew older, the Yehenara clan could no longer provide him with any assistance.
A few years ago, Consort Ning didn't think much; she only hoped that Yongyue would be healthy and safe.
Later, when Yongyue's health improved and she even recovered, Consort Ning intended to bring her back to the palace.
Unfortunately, at that time, Yehenara was worried that Yongyue's return to the palace would strain their relationship, so she deliberately persuaded Consort Ning to continue raising Yongyue for a few more years in order to strengthen the bond between them.
But now it was the Yehenara clan that couldn't sit still. They suddenly realized that the Emperor didn't care about Yongyue. Fearing that all their efforts would be wasted, they took the initiative to write to Consort Ning to find a way to resolve the matter.
Consort Ning secretly came to see Chen Yuwei because of her son.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Chen Yuwei tilted her head and looked at Consort Ning, whose emotions remained completely unmoved.
He looked up and glanced around, then chuckled softly, “It’s easy for Yongyue to come back, but you should know how he left the palace in the first place.”
Consort Ning's eyes instantly turned cold, completely different from her previous serene demeanor.
Chen Yuwei truly admired the imperial concubines' ability to change their expressions so quickly.
No matter how gentle and virtuous a woman is, she will reveal her fiercest side when she encounters her Achilles' heel.
"Does the Imperial Noble Consort mean that the Imperial Observatory will cause trouble again regarding Yongyue's return to the palace?"
"How can you say it caused trouble? The Emperor was indeed seriously ill at that time." The Imperial Observatory wasn't lying, was it?
