Yinzhen shook his head: "Father Emperor is considerate of our new marriage and doesn't want us to go through all that trouble."
Dong Eshi felt that this reason was too perfunctory. The distance between the Forbidden City and Changchun Garden was hardly a long journey.
"Yes, I understand."
Yinzhen nodded slightly: "It's good that the Princess Consort understands. Let the people outside come in."
Dong Eshi was not a girl of ten years old after all, and she quickly rallied. She repeatedly told herself that all the suffering was worthwhile, and that it was worth it for the position of empress.
She gave a standard, dignified smile: "Baozhu, please come in."
Yinzhen and Dong'e quickly went to the main hall, sat at the head of the table, and waited for the concubines to come in. Then Dong'e was stunned.

Their voices brought Dong E Shi back to her senses.
Before Dong Eshi could speak, Yinzhen said, "Get up. Wan'er is feeling unwell, so please all sit down first."
The Wan'er that Yinzhen mentioned was the name of Lady Wusu. When he said this, his tone was no longer as cold as when he spoke to Lady Dong'e, and it became a bit gentler.
Usu smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."
Then everyone took their seats.
