After a month of adjustment, because of her young age, the young Borjigit was not as troublesome as the previous deposed empresses.
Shunzhi was pressured by previous deals and reluctantly accepted this wife who was a generation younger than him and much younger in age.
In June, an imperial edict was issued, and Borjigit was established as the new empress, becoming the Empress of the Great Qing Dynasty.
At Prince Xiang's residence, Lady Dong'e knew that Fulin's actions were out of necessity, yet she still couldn't help feeling sorry for him.
She watched helplessly as her lover took one woman after another into the palace, yet she still had to bear the infamy and secretly meet with him.
Lady Dong'e didn't know if she could be openly with Fulin, nor did she know when this clandestine life would end.
Filled with worries about the future, Dong Eshi inevitably became somewhat melancholy, and Boguor later noticed her unusual behavior.
At this point, the naive man thought it was because he hadn't been back to the manor long enough and had neglected his wife, which was why she was always so unhappy.
Having misunderstood the situation, Boguor began to reduce his time going out and try to spend more time with Dong'e.
What he didn't know was that the reason he was too busy to return to the manor was because his brother and the princess had become lovers, and he had sent him away to create an opportunity for a secret rendezvous.
Dong Eshi felt somewhat impatient about the fact that Boguor had been taking longer to return recently.
She never liked her husband, Boguor, thinking he was too naive and simple. Later, she met the more mature and knowledgeable Shunzhi, and Dong Eshi's heart was won over.
For this man, she was willing to walk in the shadows and abandon worldly views to meet him in secret.
Having fallen in love with the superior Shunzhi Emperor, Boguor was rendered utterly worthless in comparison.
Even though her husband loved her wholeheartedly, Dong Eshi's heart had already been given to another, so how could she possibly appreciate Boguor's constant advances?
Boguer also noticed this strangeness. He had clearly made time to be with his wife, so why was she still sullen and unhappy?
The young man was puzzled and couldn't help but ask a clever young eunuch he had recently promoted.
Li Shu was a eunuch who had served Boguor since childhood; he wasn't transferred there in recent years.
However, he was of low status before and only did odd jobs. He was only discovered by Boguor some time ago and was transferred to his side as a personal eunuch.
Li Shu is very clever. He came to Boguor's side and helped him solve many problems, so Boguor has recently trusted this little eunuch a lot.
Upon hearing the prince's question, Li Shu's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface: "Your Highness is overthinking it. The Princess Consort is probably just in a bad mood lately!"
Boguor was still puzzled: "Really? Then what should I do to make my wife happy?"
"Your Highness, you are putting this servant in a difficult position. I am not married, how would I know these things?"
Li Shu smiled wryly and politely declined Boguor's question, simply saying that he didn't know.
But Boguor knew of his intelligence, and since there was no one else around to ask him, he could only turn to Li Shu for help.
Under Boguer's insistence, Li Shucai reluctantly said, "This servant really has no way, but I have a somewhat impractical idea, though it is a bit inappropriate."
Upon hearing Li Shu's words, Boguer's eyes lit up. It was good to have an idea; he would listen to it and consider it.
"It's alright, say whatever you want. Whether it's good or bad, I won't blame you."
Pretending to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Shu slowly said, "If Your Highness really wants to ask me, I truly do not know, but I have seen some stories in storybooks."
"Women love novelties and new things. Your Highness might as well take your wife to the Treasure Pavilion and buy some beautiful jewelry. Perhaps that will cheer her up."
Seeing that Boguor didn't seem too interested, Li Shu continued, "If Your Highness thinks this method won't work, I've heard that the scenery behind Guangfo Temple in the suburbs of the capital is absolutely stunning. Your Highness can also take your wife there to see the scenery."
"The vegetarian food at Guangfo Temple is also very famous. After Your Highness and Consort have enjoyed the scenery, they can stay overnight at the temple and try the vegetarian dishes. If that's not possible, I've heard..."
Li Shu babbled on and on, offering several suggestions for Boguor to choose from.
Thinking that Guangfo Temple would offer scenic views, meals, and a place to stay overnight to connect with others, Boguer ultimately chose to visit Guangfo Temple.
Boguer patted Li Shu on the shoulder, feeling very pleased and believing he had made a sensible choice.
"Hahaha, Li Shu, you are truly clever. With you by my side, I am saved a lot of trouble."
"Your Highness flatters me. I am Your Highness's servant, and it is only natural that I should help Your Highness solve your problems."
Li Shu's words were very eloquent, and they made Boguer feel completely at ease.
Boguer, who was feeling smug, didn't see the unreadable look that flashed in Li Shu's eyes the moment he lowered his head.
Having come up with this idea, Boguer immediately took action. He first went to Guangfo Temple alone to scout it out, and the scenery was indeed very beautiful.
After deciding on the location, Boguor invited his wife to go out for a walk.
Dong Eshi was naturally unwilling to go, but Boguor's attitude was very firm. Just when she and her husband were at an impasse, Shunzhi sent a message.
After reading the note, Dong Eshi finally agreed to Boguor's suggestion and agreed to visit Guangfo Temple.
Finally, after much persuasion, Boguor managed to get his wife's consent. He happily went to prepare for the trip, completely unaware of why Dong Eshi had initially disagreed but then suddenly agreed.
This was the first trip the young couple had taken since their marriage, and Boguor took it very seriously, personally preparing everything needed for the trip.
On the day of departure, Boguor got up early in the morning and went to the main courtyard where Dong Eshi lived.
Boguer wanted to rest in the main courtyard, but Dong Eshi made an excuse to send him back to the front courtyard to sleep. It was stupid of him that he didn't notice something was wrong and just left on his own.
Today, Lady Dong'e was dressed very beautifully. When she walked out of the room, Boguor was stunned.
Boguer knew that his wife was beautiful, but she usually didn't dress up much. Today, dressed up in such a magnificent manner, she looked like a fairy princess.
That's why Bogor couldn't help but stare at it for a long time, becoming completely mesmerized.
Shaking his head to regain his senses, Boguor stepped forward, took his wife's hand, and praised her repeatedly.
Seeing her hand being held, Dong E felt a surge of displeasure, but thinking of other things, she smiled and suppressed this feeling of disgust and displeasure.
