Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Little Hongli was originally nestled in his aunt's sweet and soft arms, and was still a little dazed when he was suddenly put on the bed.

But she was soon attracted by the friendly young man in front of her.

Wanyu didn't say anything more. The two little guys seemed to have telepathy and didn't feel strange at all. Instead, they quickly hugged each other.

Wanyu couldn't bear to take her eyes off the two little guys' intimate interaction.

Wanlin looked at her third sister looking at the two children eagerly and sighed slightly in her heart.

In order to prevent her third sister from showing her behavior too obviously and arousing suspicion, she pulled her third sister to sit on the kang beside her and talk to her.

Wanyu understood what her second sister meant, smiled and responded to her topic, no longer staring at the two children on the couch.

After the two sisters talked for a while, Wanyu took her second sister to the East Courtyard to see Chengfu Hall in the East Courtyard where she and Hongli would live tonight.

Wanlin and Hongli have been in the palace for quite some time. Even Fuluguochun and Fuling'a, who went to Qianxi Wusuo with Princess Shushun and studied with the three concubines, have returned.

It was the first time for the two girls to meet Hongli, and they liked this cousin very much.

I played with my two younger brothers for a long time until dinner time.

During this meal, Wanyu wanted the whole family to get together.

This was the first time Hongli entered the palace to see her real family, and she didn't want anyone to be absent.

So he specifically asked Xia He, who was by his side, to go to the South Third House and call Feng Sheng'e and his wife, as well as Hongye, to have dinner together in Yuqing Palace.

The reason used was that his aunt and Hongli's cousin came to Yuqing Palace today. They were both close family members, so he asked them to come back and have dinner together. Tomorrow, Hongli's cousin would hold the one-year-old celebration together with Honggui.

Therefore, Yuqing Palace is very lively today.

The Crown Prince and his wife, the eldest son Hongxi and his wife, the twins Hongye and Fuluguochun, the second daughter Fuling'a, and the youngest son Honggui.

There are also Concubine Mu Wanlin and Hongli.

The atmosphere at the table was warm and cheerful.

The elders and brothers and sisters were talking and laughing, looking very happy.

Honggui and Hongli sat together and ate delicious egg custard with relish.

After the meal, Yinreng took Feng Sheng'e and Hongye to the main hall in front.

Wanyu was filled with regret and reluctance, so she took her daughter-in-law and two daughters to personally send her second sister and Hongli to Chengfu Palace.

Wanyu's expression change might be hidden from Lady Hongxi and the two little girls, but it definitely could not be hidden from Wanlin, who grew up with her.

Looking at her third sister like that, Wanlin couldn't bear it.

So after everyone arrived at Chengfu Hall, she smiled and said, "I see that Hongli and Honggui are getting along very well today."

"How about letting Hongli and Honggui sleep together tonight?"

"Anyway, they'll both do the Grab the Ones Week celebration tomorrow and sleep together tonight, which will also help foster their brotherly bond."

Sisters Guarjia Niyangqiqi and Forgochun both looked at their aunt in slight surprise.

I didn't expect that my aunt and my mother had such a good relationship, and she was so confident in leaving her son to my mother.

And Wanyu's eyes flashed with surprise.

"May I?"

Wanlin smiled and nodded.

"of course can."

"You are not only Hongli's aunt, but also Hongli's aunt."

Wanyu nodded happily.

"Yeah, what Second Sister said makes sense."

"Then I will take little Hongli back home. Our Honggui really likes this little brother."

Without waiting for Wanlin to say anything, she picked up the confused Hongli and turned around, heading towards Huaqing Palace, even ignoring her daughter-in-law and two daughters.

Ni Yangqiqi, Fuerguochun and Fuling'a looked at their mother's back in confusion, and then looked at their aunt who was smiling.

Wanlin said with a smile: "Your mother really likes Hongli too much."

"Now that I'm at Chengfu Palace, you can go back. You don't need to stay here with me anymore."

Folgochun nodded.

"Aunt, you should have a good rest. My sister-in-law, I and my younger sister will leave first."

"If you need anything, just tell the palace servants."

Wanlin smiled and nodded.

"Go."

Fuluguochun knew that his father had taken his eldest and second brothers to the main hall, so after leaving, he took his sister-in-law to his own Yaohua Hall first.

Then he asked the young eunuch beside him to go to the main hall and wait for news at any time. Once the eldest brother and the second brother came out, he would wait for his sister-in-law to return to the South Third House together.

Wanyu, who only has her son in her heart, decides to keep Hongli and Honggui in Huaqing Palace tonight and sleep with them in order to have more close contact with her son and to allow Yinreng to interact more with the children!

So, when Yinreng arrived at the main hall of Yuqing Palace in the front yard and heard the eunuch report that Concubine Mu had been sent to Chengfu Palace by the Crown Princess to rest, he sent his two sons away and went straight to Huaqing Palace in the back.

Unexpectedly, I saw the little concubine sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at the two little kids rolling and playing on the bed with a doting and happy look on her face.

It had been a long time since he saw the young wife so happy, and Yinreng felt bitter in his heart.

Wanyu also saw Yinreng and waved happily.

"Baocheng, look at Hongli and Honggui, they are having a great time."

"I like Hongli very much. I want Hongli and Honggui to sleep with us tonight. Is that okay?"

Yinreng smiled and pinched her cheek, then looked at the two little kids playing on the bed.

"of course."

.........

One night passed, and the one-year-old celebrations for the two young masters of Yuqing Palace were no less grand than those held by Prince Hongxi, Prince Hongye and Princess Folgochun, but they were equally lively.

At least, except for the imprisoned eldest prince Yinzhi, the rest of the brothers brought their wives to Yuqing Palace to participate in the one-year-old ceremony of their two little nephews.

Although the Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not come to join in the fun, they both sent people to send large rewards.

Even Hongli, the illegitimate son of Prince Yong who had been ignored by everyone, came into the public eye, especially since the rewards given to the two children by the emperor and the empress dowager were almost the same.

Many of the royal princes secretly grumbled behind his back that the fourth prince was really scheming!

Taking advantage of the relationship between Concubine Mu and the Crown Princess, he actually allowed his illegitimate son to move into the Yuqing Palace, and even allowed Hongli and Honggui to enjoy the same treatment.

I'm so jealous of them!

Even their legitimate sons don’t receive such treatment.

Yinzhen didn't know what everyone was thinking, otherwise he would have cried out that he was wronged.

Yinreng heard it all clearly, but there was nothing he could do since Hongli was his own son.

It was an injustice for Hongli to be transformed from the legitimate son of the crown prince to the illegitimate son of a prince.

Now, neither he nor his wife were willing to let him down over such a small matter.

So now I can only let the fourth brother take the blame for me!

Just consider it as the reward for pushing him to the top in the future.

He and his wife had already discussed that in the future, Hongli would also have to enjoy the same treatment as Honggui.

Even if it cannot be done too obviously, if it cannot be done openly, Hongli will be compensated secretly.

Only in this way can we make up for the injustice done to Hongli to some extent.

When he was born and knew nothing, his parents secretly decided an unknown future for him. They were sorry for him.

(How are you guys celebrating Chinese New Year this year? Orange was recently drafted by the elders to make up the numbers and play cards with them, haha...)
