Inside the Prince Zhi's residence, Lady Irgen Gioro was momentarily bewildered after receiving the Crown Princess's invitation. Looking at her equally bewildered maidservant beside her, she asked in surprise, "Did the messenger say anything else?"
Nahan shook his head, and after a while, patted his head and said, "That person also said that the Crown Princess invited the Fujin just for a casual chat."
After a moment's thought, Lady Irgen Gioro figured out the reason: it was probably because the eldest prince had taken good care of Wenxi during his trip to Mongolia that he wanted to get closer to her.
It would be good to have a good relationship with the Crown Princess, but given her current health...
Na was very worried about his master's pale face.
“Madam, you have trouble even getting out of bed now. If you were to enter the palace, you would only suffer. Why don’t you just refuse?”
Lady Irgen Gioro immediately shook her head, “The relationship between the Prince and the Crown Prince has improved a lot now, and they are no longer as hostile as before. Now that the Crown Princess has invited me to the palace for a talk, if I don’t go, I’m afraid it will cause trouble for the Prince.”
To ensure a smooth entry into and return to the palace, the Grand Consort specifically ordered Nahan to carry some ginseng slices with him, so that he could take one if necessary.
To her surprise, as soon as they stepped into the palace gates, Wenying and several palace servants came forward to greet them, saying with a smile, "The Crown Princess said that it is still chilly nowadays, and to prevent the Grand Princess from being exposed to the wind, she specially ordered us to bring a sedan chair to pick her up."
After a moment of stunned silence, Yiergenjueluo's mind cleared.
The Crown Princess must know she was unwell, so the fact that she was still allowed to enter the palace must mean something important. Without hesitation, she got into the sedan chair.
Naruto was very grateful to the Crown Princess for taking such good care of her husband, and they remained polite to each other throughout the journey.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard of Yuqing Palace, Lady Irgen Gioro saw Lady Guarjia playing with Wenxi and Hongxi in the yard. When she saw her, she pointed at her and said to the two children, "Quickly greet your aunt."
Wenxi led Hongxi toward Irgen Gioro, saying in a proper manner, "Greetings to Aunt."
Irgen Gioro adored the two children, squatting down to hug Hongxi and then hug Wenxi.
"Wenxi and Hongxi are the best behaved. Auntie likes you very much."
After saying that, Nahan, who was behind him, took out the gifts he had prepared for the children in advance, which were two handmade cloth dolls.
"These are two cloth dolls that our wife made by hand, as gifts for the young prince and the princess."
The rabbit doll was given to Wenxi, and the tiger doll was given to Hongxi. They looked lifelike and were clearly exquisitely crafted.
The two children loved it.
Seeing this, Guarjia quickly helped Irgen Gioro up and took her hand as they walked toward the main hall. "Sister-in-law, you have such good skills. My sister-in-law can't compare to you in this respect."
Yiergenjueluo smiled happily, "My needlework isn't very good, but I can still make two dolls. The main thing is that I really like these two children. Hongyu has been talking about seeing his sister ever since he came back. It's a pity that his father took him to the military camp these past two days, otherwise he would have come along."
Upon hearing the news about Hongyu, Wenxi immediately perked up, "Auntie, has my brother gone to the army camp? When will he be back?"
"It will take about four or five days. If Wenxi misses her older brother, we can send him to the palace to keep you company after he returns, okay?"
Wenxi immediately clapped her hands happily, "Great! Great!"
Hongxi clapped along, chanting, "Big brother, big brother!"
In his previous life, he thought Hongyu was a good person, but at that time, his father and uncle had a very bad relationship, so he and Hongyu naturally didn't have much contact.
Even so, there was no discord between them.
In this life, the relationship between the two men's fathers has improved considerably, so he is naturally willing to spend more time with this older brother.
When Lady Irgen Gioro saw Hongxi joining in the fun, she felt that her master's relationship with the Crown Prince had truly improved.
"Alright, alright, once Hongyu returns to the manor, Auntie will immediately send him to the palace."
After everyone entered the main hall, Guarjia ordered someone to take the two children out to play. She didn't beat around the bush, carefully looked at Irgen Gioro, and sighed, "I only recently learned that my sister-in-law was ill."
Irgen Gioro hadn't expected that she was brought to the palace for this reason. Seeing Guarjia's sincere expression, she herself was moved to tears.
"Sigh, these are all old ailments that started earlier."
"My sister-in-law's health deteriorated because she didn't take proper care of herself after giving birth. Has she seen a royal physician since?"
Irgen Gioro nodded. "The imperial physicians from the palace have been there several times, and they've been using the best medicines to help me recover, but I know in my heart that my time is running out."
Nahan stood behind her and couldn't help but cry softly. When Wenying saw this, she dismissed the other palace servants.
Guarjia then said, "Since the imperial physician has said so, anything else I say is just empty talk. Now that His Highness and Prince Zhi have reconciled, it is no exaggeration to say that they support each other as brothers. Hongyu is the eldest son and also the lifeblood of his sister-in-law. No matter what happens in the court in the future, I will keep this child in my heart and will never let him suffer any scheming or hardship."
Hearing this, Lady Irgen Gioro couldn't help but burst into tears.
She didn't care about anything else after she left, except for worrying about Hongyu.
He was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and it is true that he was deeply loved by Yinti.
But after his death, Yinqi would remarry. If his new wife had another son, would his son Hongyu be in danger?
The affairs within the inner quarters are not just about adults vying for favor; they also involve scheming for the sake of their children.
