The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is very nurturing, producing not only quick-witted and intelligent young men, but also gentle and beautiful women.
Moreover, there is a "specialty" in Jiangnan that is very attractive to men. It is said that the Jiangnan "slender horses" are unique and a gentle haven for men. Once they see them, they cannot extricate themselves. Although Lady Wuya saw the Emperor's feelings for her daughter, the Emperor was, after all, a man.
Missham was a womanizer in his youth, and even though he seems "honest" now, he was a womanizer in his younger days.
She feared that even the emperor couldn't escape the common fear.
Moreover, her daughter's situation was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. She was the Empress, who was the Emperor's favorite. If a person has never had something, they can accept the status quo. But if they have had something and then lost it, it is ten thousand times more painful than not having had it at all.
This is what Uya should be worried about.
Although Uya thought her daughter was very good, she still couldn't help but ask.
"Did you encounter anything unusual on this trip?"
Yunrong didn't think in that direction; the mother and daughter were on completely different wavelengths.
"What special thing did Mother say?"
Seeing her daughter's expression, Uya knew that her daughter had not suffered any injustice on this trip.
Uya patted Yunrong's hand: "I was worried that the Emperor might bring people back because of this tour of Jiangnan, but seeing you like this, I'm relieved."
Yunrong then realized what her mother had meant.
Yunrong smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry! The Emperor treats his daughter quite well."
Uya was relieved about the matter, but then she started to worry again.
"Is there any imperial physician to examine you? You've had Princess Beibei for several years now, so you can have another child. Even if Prince Bobo is intelligent, he still needs a brother to help him, doesn't he?"
Yunrong and Yinzhen had a fairly frequent married life. Yinzhen only had Yunrong as his woman, and their relationship was quite intimate. Yunrong was healthy, and Yinzhen was healthy too, but neither of them planned to have children for the time being.
Therefore, they are usually very careful.
Hearing what Uya said, Yunrong thought about it and decided that having another child wouldn't be bad, regardless of gender, so that there would be someone to help out. Besides, with only Bobo as the heir, Yinzhen was under a lot of pressure.
However, it's best to let things take their natural course.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm in good health! I originally thought that Beibei was still young and there was no rush to have another one, but now we'll just let nature take its course, Mother, don't worry."
Uya was relieved to hear this. It was good that her daughter could give birth. No wonder she thought that way. Even though Yunrong had already given birth to two children, if it were to be revealed now that she was infertile, the court would probably be in turmoil. No one knew what the emperor would do then.
After Wuya left, Yunrong told Yinzhen about it that evening.
Yunrong: "Do you plan to have another child?"
Yinzhen had already planned to have another child, so he naturally had no objection to Yunrong's words. However, he asked, "Why do you suddenly want a child?"
Yunrong: "Mother came over today and brought up this matter. Bobo and Beibei are still a bit lonely. Besides, you are under a lot of pressure in the court. It's a good time to have a child while there are no major events this year."
Yunrong has basically put her experiments on hold for now, mainly because there's no point in doing any more research.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Since you've put it that way, let's have another child."
Upon hearing Yinzhen's words, Yunrong suddenly blushed again: "It's best to let things take their natural course."
Seeing Yunrong's blushing face, Yinzhen smiled even more happily, then picked her up and put her on the bed, saying, "Let's just let things take their course now."
The next day, Yunrong could no longer look directly at the words "let nature take its course".
With the Emperor and Empress back in the palace, things became lively again, and soon it was the fifteenth of August.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yinzhen thought about how he had gone out and spent a lot of money this year, so he decided to keep the banquet simple. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was very simple, just like an ordinary family dinner.
According to the rules, officials and their wives who reached a certain rank were all qualified to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but Yinzhen thought it best to let them all stay at home.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a time for family reunion, and he didn't want to listen to flattery. He'd rather spend that time with his wife and children.
Therefore, Emperor Yinzhen issued an order that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this year would not require people to enter the palace, and at the same time, the families of the concubines in the harem could enter the palace.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, some people immediately jumped out to object, saying that it was against the rules.
Yinzhen then said, "Rules are made by people. I am considerate of all my beloved ministers and have allowed you to have a family reunion for the Mid-Autumn Festival. What, are you not satisfied with my good intentions?"
Those who said it was "against the rules" have fallen silent. They should have realized long ago how many "unruly" things Yinzhen has done over the years, yet in the end, he still started to follow the "unruly" rules.
Why make yourself look bad?
That was the end of it, and no one dared to object afterward.
Although Yinzhen was eager to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his wife and children, reality was far from his ideal. With so many people in the palace, he couldn't avoid the banquet.
Yunrong then began to take care of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. She had experience in organizing such banquets, having precedents from previous years, so she only needed to give instructions.
The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, an open-air event. Yunrong had the garden brightly lit up. The moon on the fifteenth of August was indeed very round, and the sky, untouched by industrial pollution, was filled with stars.
At the banquet, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress sat at the head of the table, followed by the concubines from various palaces.
Yinzhen and Yunrong both intended to end the banquet as soon as possible. As was customary, Yinzhen had given all the blessings he was supposed to, and after drinking a few more cups of wine offered by the concubines below, he felt that was enough.
