Although Physician Zhang was pleased that the Imperial Noble Consort's condition had suddenly improved, he couldn't explain why.
The unusual behavior of Lady Tongjia did not put Emperor Kangxi at ease; instead, it made him even more worried. So he ordered other imperial physicians to come and examine his cousin, but they still couldn't find anything wrong.
But the imperial physicians all said it wasn't a bad thing; the Imperial Noble Consort's health was indeed improving, and they believed she would fully recover in a few more days.
Unable to explain this strange phenomenon, Emperor Kangxi eventually had no choice but to let it go.
But Lady Tongjia had a premonition that Lady Ulanara had saved her.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but every time Ulanara came to visit her, she felt very relaxed, and after drinking the medicine she was given, she felt much better.
But she didn't have these feelings before. She had taken the medicine prescribed by Physician Zhang before and there were no abnormalities. It was only after Ulanara entered the family that she felt much better.
It has to be said that Tongjia really guessed the truth. She was indeed saved by Yunyi, and the medicine she drank was indeed effective. It was not an ordinary medicine, but one with added Fuyuan Dan.
Six months later, as the New Year approached, Lady Tongjia finally recovered her health and was able to resume managing palace affairs.
In the past six months, in addition to giving Tongjia the Rejuvenation Pill, Yunyi has also taken other actions.
She embroidered a purse for Lady Tongjia, which was soaked in a special medicine that was good for her health.
In addition, she would often cook soup for Tongjia, and what others didn't know was that Yunyi also added nourishing medicine to it.
It was thanks to the combined efforts of many parties that Tongjia was able to recover so quickly.
After recovering, Consort Tongjia resumed her duties in the palace. Previously, when she was seriously ill, Emperor Kangxi had entrusted the management of the harem to four consorts: Consort Wenxi, Consort Hui, Consort De, and Consort Yi. Now that she had recovered, these duties were to be handed back to her.
Because of that peculiar suspicion in her heart, Lady Tongjia loved her daughter-in-law, Lady Ulanara, very much.
In her heart, she even gave all the love she had for her own daughter to Ulanara.
Now that she has resumed managing palace affairs, she has brought Ulanara to assist her, which is also an intention to teach her.
The prince's residence was simple and had few affairs. She knew that Ulanara was already handling things very well, but in the palace, Kangxi had many concubines and children, so things were not simple.
He had Ulanara learn alongside him, not only about household management but also about interpersonal skills and the art of managing subordinates...
Yunyi was already quite adept at managing the harem. At first, she would try to control herself, pretending not to understand some things, and sometimes even deliberately making mistakes. But later on, she became more and more skilled and relaxed.
Tongjia was also surprised. She learned from Zhong Mama that Ulanara was very intelligent, and she did not expect that she could get used to the complicated palace affairs so quickly.
...
On New Year's Eve, Emperor Kangxi held a family banquet. Because it was a family banquet, he did not invite the ministers outside the palace, but only the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace gathered together.
Yunyi also helped with the arrangements for this banquet, so when Yinzhen arrived, he was alone; his little wife was still busy.
On the princes' side, only the eldest prince, Yinzhi, had a wife accompanying him; the others were all too young to be married.
However, there were two exceptions. Crown Prince Yinreng was not married into Yuqing Palace because his wife was observing mourning for him, but in reality, his concubines had already given birth to his children.
Beyond the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had married, but his wife was busy and had not yet taken a seat.
The Third Prince, Yinzhi, found it strange and moved closer to his Fourth Brother, patting him on the shoulder: "Why are you alone? Didn't Fourth Brother's wife come over?"
Yinzhi was a little jealous of his fourth brother. Ever since his fourth brother got married, his standard of living had risen sharply, making him, the older brother, look like a pitiful little cabbage in the field.
Because they were close in age, he watched helplessly as his fourth brother's life improved more and more, with his sister-in-law taking care of everything perfectly.
Putting everything else aside, his daily meals used to be delivered by the small kitchen, but after his fourth brother got married, his meals started to be arranged by his sister-in-law.
Every time he looked at the delicious and visually appealing dishes prepared by his fourth brother, and then at the dishes he ate that were always the same, he felt like crying. He really wanted to eat them too, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Faced with his third brother's question, Yinzhen did not hide anything and answered honestly: "Thank you for your concern, Third Brother. My wife is helping Mother with the banquet preparations. She will be back when the banquet begins."
"Oh! I see. I thought my fourth sister-in-law was unwell and couldn't come!" After receiving the explanation, Yin Zhi stopped there and changed the subject to other matters.
While casually chatting with his third brother, Yinzhen kept an eye on the entrance, wondering when his wife would arrive.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he saw his wife leading Wanzhou through the door.
His tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and without even realizing it, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
From afar, Yunyi spotted Yinzhen's figure. Seeing him staring at her, she quickened her pace.
Walking quickly to the princes' seats, Yunyi first bowed to her elder brother and sister-in-law before standing beside Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, I am late!"
Yinzhen said it was nothing and gestured for his wife to sit down. "The family banquet is about to begin. You've been busy all day, so sit down and rest for a while."
After spending the past six months together, Yunyi had become quite used to the occasional concern that Yinzhen showed, and upon hearing this, her smile became even more pronounced.
Once seated next to Yinzhen, Yunyi whispered, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Soon, the eunuch's announcement rang out from outside the door, followed by Emperor Kangxi supporting the Empress Dowager, with Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia behind him.
Once the three entered the main hall, the family banquet officially began.
After Kangxi took his seat, he said a few words, and then the palace maids and eunuchs filed in, carrying trays of various sizes, and began to serve the dishes.
Seeing that the things the palace maids were carrying were different from usual, Kangxi was somewhat surprised. This year's family banquet was being overseen by the Imperial Noble Consort, so Kangxi looked at his cousin with a questioning gaze.
Lady Tongjia was prepared. When she saw Kangxi looking over, she whispered a few words of explanation.
Unexpectedly, it was her idea. Kangxi laughed a few times and was not angry: "Good, good, good. This girl is quick-witted. This method is indeed good."
Yunyi was unaware of what had happened above, as she was explaining it to the somewhat puzzled Yinzhen in a low voice.
