After saying that, Yonglian looked at Mingyu with some fear, as Mingyu was the person he feared the most.
Upon hearing Yonglian's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mingyu's eyes. She had placed a lot of hopes on Yonglian, and hearing that he had secretly run out of Xiefang Palace to feed the cats in the Imperial Garden, Mingyu was extremely disappointed.
Mingyu shook her head, sighed, and pulled Yonglian aside, saying, "You are the eldest son, you must not be so playful."
Yonglian naturally noticed the fleeting disappointment in Mingyu's eyes, but seeing that Mingyu did not blame him, he was relieved. "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
Seeing Yonglian nod, Mingyu didn't say anything more, so she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back to reading."
"Yes." With that, Yonglian bowed to Mingyu, then turned back to continue reading.
Mingyu watched Yonglian's retreating figure, then turned and instructed the governess, "Take good care of Yonglian. If you are negligent like you were today, I will hold you accountable."
Hearing the hint of coldness in Mingyu's words, the governess and the palace maids serving Yonglian quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After explaining these things, Mingyu turned around and left Xiefang Palace, heading straight back to Changchun Palace.
Mingyu is currently busy preparing for the Golden Festival, so she cannot always be by Yonglian's side.
On this once-a-year joyous occasion, Mingyu naturally dared not be careless in the slightest, but she also dared not slack off in the slightest on the anniversary of the Manchu people's birth. Moreover, this was the first time Mingyu had organized the Golden Award Ceremony in the palace since Hongli's ascension to the throne, so she naturally had to put in even more effort.
Soon, the Golden Banquet Festival arrived, and the palaces were bustling with activity. However, at this time, Yonglian suddenly fell ill.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is ill."
It's unclear whether Yonglian fell ill again after returning from the Imperial Garden last time. The governess originally didn't want to come and report, but Yonglian's illness came on suddenly, and the governess tried many methods without any improvement, so she hurriedly came to report to Mingyu.
Upon hearing the governess's words, Mingyu's pupils dilated slightly. Yonglian had always been the apple of Mingyu's eye, yet this governess had failed to take good care of him. Mingyu glared at the governess before her, her eyes filled with rage. "Did I instruct you to take care of Yonglian like this?"
The governess sensed the fierce look in Mingyu's eyes and felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness, "This old servant deserves to die, this old servant deserves to die..."
Mingyu ignored the governess kneeling on the ground and hurriedly got up to go to Xiefang Palace to see Yonglian.
Mingyu looked at Yonglian lying on the bed with his face flushed, and felt a pang of heartache. She reached out and touched Yonglian's forehead, and asked softly, "Yonglian, are you feeling very unwell...?" He had a fever, and his little face was red.
Yonglian was burning up so much he could barely open his eyes, but hearing Mingyu's concern, he slowly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, I want you to stay with me..."
Seeing Yonglian like this, Mingyu felt as if her heart was being squeezed tighter and tighter. She reached out and gently wiped the cold sweat from Yonglian's forehead, saying with a choked voice, "Alright, Mother will stay with Yonglian. Mother won't leave today."
"Mmm." As he spoke, Yonglian half-closed his eyes and looked at Mingyu, afraid that Mingyu would leave again.
"Go to sleep, Mother won't leave."
