I just want to live a happy life

Spring passed and autumn came, and soon it was August of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, which was also the time when the emperor passed away in the original plot.

During these days in the mansion, Langya gave birth to a princess soon after giving birth to Yonglian. Because she was the first princess to be raised in the mansion and also a legitimate daughter, she was loved since childhood.

Su Lujun, who entered the mansion with Chen Wanyin, was a fertile girl. In May of the 13th year, she gave birth to Hongli's third son, named Yongzhang.

Chen Wanyin's life continued as usual and she had no children. Thinking of Langya's series of brainless actions after she entered the palace, she decided to delay the birth of her child.

After all, Hongli was an emperor with a long life. He was born early, and when he grew up, he was inevitably feared.

Qingying no longer had A Ruo as her helper, and although she was a little sad at first, she gradually forgot about it over time. Besides, Hongli still had feelings for her, so she lived a comfortable life.

On this day, as usual, I came to the main courtyard to pay my respects.

Chen Wanyin was a little excited. She had been living in the mansion for the past few years, and now she could finally move to a new place.

"I have good news to tell you all today. The decree to appoint Sister Xiyue as concubine has come down." Langya said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Yue." Everyone stood up and saluted Gao Xiyue.

Gao Xiyue was also very happy to hear the good news. She smiled at everyone and complimented Langya: "I was able to be named a concubine because of my wife. If I didn't have my wife, I wouldn't have such a blessing."

Langya smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. Mr. Gao serves the emperor, and you, as his daughter, deserve a generous reward."

After talking about this, they changed the topic and started talking about other things. Everyone was talking excitedly.

Just then, Wang Qin ran in, stumbled and fell to the ground, his voice filled with tears.

"Fujin, something bad has happened."

Langya stood up and asked with a frown, "Speak properly, what's wrong?"

Wang Qin spoke incoherently.

"The Emperor...The Emperor has passed away."

Before Lang Ya could react, Gao Xiyue screamed first, and for a moment she lost her balance and sat down on the chair behind her.

……

"kneel!"

Chen Wanyin knelt behind the crowd and followed the eunuch's shouts in front of her, kowtowing repeatedly, standing up, kowtowing, and standing up, with tears constantly streaming down her face.

Fortunately, someone had put onion juice on the handkerchief beforehand, otherwise she would not have been able to cry.

After kneeling for a whole day, her legs were numb, and Nianrui and Shunxin had to help her go back to rest.

After returning home, Chen Wanyin ordered her servants to prepare some food and present it to Zhen Huan, who had become the empress dowager, the next day.

"Make a rice krispie dish and some pastries." You can't go wrong with these, and they won't be too conspicuous.

"Yes, I've got that in mind." Nian Rui said as she rubbed Chen Wanyin's sore legs.

She won't be the protagonist tomorrow.

As soon as the late emperor passed away, these ministers of the previous dynasty used the reason that the Queen of Jingren Palace was only imprisoned and not deposed, and wanted to enthrone her as the Empress Dowager to test Hongli.

Hongli was still young and had not yet completely taken control of the court. This matter also concerned the Empress Dowager and Qingying, so he was unable to issue an edict for the time being.

The next day, in the rear hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The Queen Mother sat in the main seat, in front of her was a long table filled with food.

Qingying first scooped a bowl of ham and chicken soup and respectfully brought it to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager did not answer. She had already learned through Nianqin that the ministers of the previous dynasty headed by Zhang Tingyu were talking about conferring the title of Empress Dowager on Queen Mother Jingren Palace.

Everyone in the former dynasty and the harem knew that she, Zhen Huan, and the Queen of Jingren Palace were not on good terms. She absolutely did not agree with this matter. As Qingying was the Queen's niece, she would not give Qingying face and could not help but warn Qingying.

"A good chicken soup, with ham as a side dish, becomes the main attraction."

Qingying stood there in a daze, with an undetectable look of grievance on her face. The people gathered around the table did not dare to say a word, and silently waited for the development of the situation.

The chicken soup was served in a bowl, and the heat passed through the porcelain bowl to Qingying's hands. She kept moving her fingers to dispel the heat, and without the Queen Mother's order, Qingying did not dare to let go.

In the end, it was Langya who came to the rescue and persuaded the empress dowager to let Qingying go, using the reason that the late emperor loved to drink rice porridge.

After another whole day of kneeling and worshipping, Chen Wanyin returned to the palace and fell asleep.

It's really tiring every day.

Chen Wanyin and everyone else kept going back and forth between the palace and the harem, and couldn't do anything else. Only Qingying's affairs added a little fun to her boring life.

Sure enough, things developed just as the plot showed.

Qingying went to the Yangxin Palace to meet Hongli and persuaded Hongli to send his aunt to the temporary palace to live out her remaining years. Hongli agreed.

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she angrily called Qingying to Yongshou Palace, gave her a bottle of poison, and asked her to choose between herself and her aunt, and only one of them could survive.

Qingying finally chose to die herself, but it must be said that the old ones are still the wisest, and Qingying is still too naive. The Queen Mother wanted to kill her aunt from the beginning, so how could she allow Qingying's choice?

Besides, Qingying is still very important to Hongli. If Hongli knew about it, he would definitely blame her. They are not biological mother and son. If a rift is created between them, the rift will never heal.

In the end, it was the Queen of Jingren Palace who took poison, and this incident that had caused unrest in both the former court and the harem came to an end.

Although the matter was over, Hongli still hated the empress dowager's restlessness, so he moved her to Shoukang Palace on the pretext of renovating the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother knew she was in the wrong and did not make a fuss about it.

But she is not a person who can keep quiet.

Sure enough, when Langya brought the new emperor's concubines to pay homage to her, she made a speech about the eldest son, the legitimate son, and the noble son, which successfully aroused everyone's ambitions.

Chen Wanyin sat opposite Jin Yuyan and clearly saw the eagerness in her eyes.

She didn't understand, Jin Yuyan was very smart.

Why do she always fail to recognize her own identity? She was a tribute girl sent to the Qing Dynasty by the Yu family. Even if she gave birth to many princes, she would at most be a prince and would never sit on the throne.

Hongli understood that those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

Could it be that love affairs are so serious that they have blinded her eyes?

Chen Wanyin shuddered in her heart and warned herself again to always stay rational and sober and not be corrupted by sweet words.

The next step is canonization.

The Queen Mother caused trouble again about this matter. When everyone was about to move out of the palace, the Queen Mother locked Qingying up in the palace on the grounds that she needed to observe mourning for her aunt for three years.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Hongli threw the memorial on the table in annoyance and frowned: "What does the Queen Mother want to do? Isn't it good to be a Queen Mother and enjoy her old age? Why do you have to interfere in my harem?"

Wang Qin stood in front of him, not daring to offend the already angry Hongli.

At this time, Qin Li came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Cining Palace has been renovated. Should we let the Queen Mother move to the Cining Palace?"

Hongli rubbed his brows and spoke slowly.

"No hurry. As the residence of the Empress Dowager, the Cining Palace must be repaired carefully and meticulously."
