I just want to live a happy life

The beginning of the new year.

Chen Wanyin followed everyone to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I wish her a long life and all the best."

After the Queen Mother called out, everyone watched as she called several princes to her front. Yongzhang, the youngest, was hugged by the Queen Mother, while Yonghuang and Yonglian stood on both sides of her body.

The Queen Mother tried twice but failed to call Jingse to her side. The Queen could only ease the awkwardness by saying that girls should be more reserved.

After paying her respects, perhaps because Jingse embarrassed her or because she simply disliked the queen, she criticized her for her excessive cuts in front of Hongli.

Although the Empress Dowager and Hongli were not biological mother and son, they were very similar in some aspects: they both loved luxury.

The Queen Mother said nothing at first, and she also wanted to give the Queen a blow at the critical moment. Looking at Hongli's expression, she felt that she had succeeded.

When Hongli heard about the Queen's actions in the harem, he felt displeased, but he did not intervene. If he had intervened, Langya's position as Queen would probably have been unstable from the beginning. But today, he felt deeply ashamed when the Queen Mother said that, so he did not speak for the Queen.

Walking out of the Cining Palace, Hongli strode out without walking with the empress. It was obvious that he was angry.

On that day, as soon as she returned to Yonghe Palace, Chen Wanyin received the Queen's edict.

"That's great, master. There are some good materials given by the emperor in the warehouse. I will take them out and ask the embroiderer to make a few more clothes for our master. The master is naturally beautiful, and she looks good in such simple clothes. But since the queen has allowed her to wear them, we cannot let her down." Nian Rui said flatteringly.

Shunxin stood by and nodded, agreeing with Nianrui's words.

Chen Wanyin listened and burst out laughing.

"You are such a sweet-mouthed person, you only know how to say nice things to coax me, so let's do as you say."

Chen Wanyin didn't object. Who doesn't like to dress nicely? Dressing nicely and looking exquisite can also make you feel good.

Not only Chen Wanyin did this, but the ladies and masters in the harem did the same. When they paid their respects again, they all changed their attire and wore clothes made of expensive fabrics, and their headdresses were all beautiful in their own way.

Everyone shows off their beauty to the fullest.

Looking at the beautiful women one by one, one cannot help but sigh that being an emperor is great. Not only does one hold great power, but one also has beautiful ladies around him.

New Year's Eve.

One night, the imperial physician was called to Jingyang Palace, and the noise lasted for half the night before the situation finally calmed down.

The next morning, Gao Xiyue came out of Xianfu Palace and went to Changchun Palace to pay her respects to the Queen. On the way, she met Ruyi, and the two of them walked together.

When she was walking on the long street, she just turned the corner and was hit by a sedan chair that suddenly came from behind. Even the jade hairpin that Hongli gave her as a reward was broken. Fortunately, Mo Xin who was behind her supported her and Gao Xiyue did not fall.

"Who is so bold as to walk so fast on the street and bump into me?" Gao Xiyue said angrily as she looked at the broken jade hairpin in Mo Xin's hand.

"It looks like Mei Da Ying to me." Mo Xin saw that the palace maid standing next to the sedan chair was Su Yun.

Gao Xiyue snorted coldly: "I will go to the Queen Mother to complain."

Mo Xin looked at her master and said worriedly, "I see that you look unwell, but where did you get hit? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

When Ruyi heard this, she also glanced at Gao Xiyue's face, which was indeed a little pale.

Gao Xiyue also felt a little uncomfortable and dizzy, and suddenly became even angrier, but she still felt that it was important to pay her respects to the queen: "After paying her respects, go ask an imperial physician to take my pulse."

"Yes."

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, the Queen asked why they came so late today. Mo Xin spoke up for her master and was the first to tell her what happened on Chang Street.

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Mei Da Ying.

Mei Da Ying had a smile on his face, stood up slowly and bowed to the Queen, which revealed a huge secret.

"I am pregnant, and I am anxious to tell the Queen this good news. I hope the Imperial Concubine will not be angry."

Jin Yuyan was surprised and sat up straight: "So fast?"

Mei agreed and looked at Gao Xiyue proudly and replied, "Not too soon. I have been serving the emperor for half a year. If I still can't get pregnant, then it must be my bad luck."

Gao Xiyue already had a headache and felt dizzy. After being provoked by her, she immediately stood up and pointed at Mei and promised: "You..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, he fainted.

Mo Xin immediately supported Gao Xiyue and kept calling her.

Mei Da Ying was also startled. When she came to her senses, she became furious. The imperial concubine fainted as soon as she said she was pregnant. Was she looking down on her?

Everyone was also shocked, looking at Gao Xiyue's pale face, which did not seem to be fake.

The queen quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician, and had someone help Gao Xiyue to the back hall.

Chen Wanyin quickly followed everyone else and showed a worried look on her face. Of course, this scene was not in the original plot. It was she who did it.

Since entering the palace, she had people give water drops to the maids or eunuchs in each palace to ensure their complete loyalty to her. Some time ago, she let the maid who boiled water in Xianfu Palace slip a pill for giving birth to a daughter into the tea that Gao Xiyue drank.

The pills that Chen Wanyin obtained were very powerful, and they could make Gao Xiyue pregnant even though she had Linglingxiang on her body.

Of course, her purpose in doing this was not to pity Gao Xiyue, she just wanted to make things difficult for the Queen.

During this period, no one knew what was wrong with the Queen. When paying respects to the Queen, she often targeted her, and not only her but also Ruyi.

The Queen herself had angered Hongli, so she did not dare to retaliate. Instead, she took out her anger on her favorite concubine indiscriminately.

She still feels wronged.

It was also because the Queen lived too well. She was the only one in control of the harem, and she had a legitimate son and daughter. Yonghuang and Yongzhang were both in her hands, and no one dared to go against her.

Of course Chen Wanyin couldn't stand it. She was not the kind of person who would be manipulated by others. Since you are so afraid of Gao Xiyue, and seeing that she is pregnant, can you still maintain your superior attitude?

Sure enough, the imperial physician rushed over, took Gao Xiyue's pulse, and then reported to the queen in surprise: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is pregnant, and it has been a month."

Hearing this, the queen almost couldn't maintain her dignified appearance. It was only when Su Lian pulled her sleeve that she calmed down and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Really? Congratulations to the Imperial Concubine. She has been looking forward to having an heir for so many years, and now she has finally gotten what she wanted."
