I just want to live a happy life

really.

Not long after being tortured, the young eunuch admitted that he was a member of the Ulanara clan. The reason he went to the Yonghe Palace was because he accepted Concubine Xian's order to lead Concubine Yu to the Yanx Palace. He didn't know what happened afterwards.

After taking the young eunuch's confession, Hongli thought of last night's farce and immediately realized that it was all planned by Concubine Xian from the beginning. She just didn't expect that Concubine Yu didn't go, and Concubine Xian reaped the consequences of her own actions.

Hongli clenched the confession in his hand. He really didn't expect that Ruyi would be scheming now. She used to be disdainful of fighting.

"Alas, after all, Ruyi is not the Qingying of the past."

Thinking of this, Hongli found that his friendship with Ruyi had faded a lot.

That night, Hongli came to Chen Wanyin.

He told Chen Wanyin the eunuch's confession. Looking at Chen Wanyin's tearful eyes, he felt very guilty.

"I cannot punish Ruyi openly now, but I will compensate you well and will not enter the Yanxi Palace in the next six months."

Listen, is this human language?

Are you sure you don’t dislike Ruyi?

However, she also understood that the confession of the little eunuch alone could not easily shake Ruyi's position, and this was not what she wanted. It would be enough as long as Hongli understood that Ruyi was not so pure and innocent.

From now on, whenever something happens involving Ruyi, regardless of whether she did it or not, Chen Wanyin believes that Hongli's suspicion of Ruyi will always exist.

Chen Wanyin thought so in her heart and leaned her head on Hongli's shoulder.

"Your Majesty, you said so. You are not allowed to see Concubine Xian for the next six months. You must come to me more often."

Hongli enjoyed listening to her acting coquettishly to him. He knew that Wanyin was the most obedient and would not make things difficult for him.

"Okay, I promise you."

Smelling the subtle fragrance emanating from the delicate body in his arms, Hongli also became distracted.

"It's late, let's go to bed."

Chen Wanyin looked at Hongli's gradually darkening expression. She lowered her head shyly and was taken to the inner room by Hongli.

Hongli did what he said in one aspect. When he came back from Chen Wanyin, he ordered people to send her many good things.

Now Chen Wanyin’s warehouse is almost full.

Moreover, Hongli really had never been to Ruyi. Everyone thought that Hongli would go to see Ruyi after he released her, so everyone was watching in the past few days, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to withhold money.

But more than a month passed, and Hongli had no intention of going there. He mostly went to see Concubine Yu. Everyone understood that Concubine Xian had fallen out of favor.

Now the Imperial Household Department also became bolder. The cloths sent to the Yanx Palace were all torn, and the monthly salary was not paid out as usual. When惢心 went to the Imperial Household Department to collect the monthly salary, Qin Li always gave her the excuse, and惢心 had no choice.

Helplessly, Ruyi can only rely on the things she had before to make ends meet.

Originally, she had to send a portion of her monthly salary to the Ulanala Mansion every month, but now she no longer has the conditions to do so and can only protect herself first.

Because of Ruyi's fall from favor, even the palace maids and eunuchs in the Yanx Palace became lazy and were not as enthusiastic about their work.

Ruyi felt aggrieved, but she couldn't see Hongli, so she just stayed in the palace and complained every day, like a shrew.

Ruyi's life is in dire straits, and Gao Xiyue is about to give birth.

After a whole night of hard work, Gao Xiyue finally gave birth to her first child, or her last child.

The midwife came to Hongli with the baby in her arms, saying auspicious words: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The imperial concubine has given birth to a princess for you."

The queen, whose patience was almost exhausted, was completely relaxed when she heard this. As long as it was not the prince, it would be fine.

Now, a sincere smile finally appeared on her face, and she and Hongli looked at the little princess in the cradle.

I saw that her face was red and her hair was thick. Although her eyes were not open, I could tell from the outline of her eyes that she had a pair of big eyes.

"The princess looks alike with the imperial concubine. When she grows up, she will definitely be as beautiful as the imperial concubine." The queen said with a smile.

Although Hongli regretted not being a prince, he was the first child after he ascended the throne. Even if she was a princess, he would like her very much. After hearing what the queen said, he also agreed very much.

So he happily rewarded everyone in Xianfu Palace.

Hongli asked a few questions about Gao Xiyue's condition. When he heard that she fell asleep due to exhaustion after giving birth, he did not go in to disturb her and handed the princess to Mo Xin who was beside Gao Xiyue.

He also said that he would visit the princess often in the future and then hurried back to deal with things.

Gao Xiyue had just given birth to a daughter, and she was given a name after the full-month banquet - Jingyan.

Perhaps it was because of this happy event that good things began to happen one after another in the harem.

Concubine Huang Qiyingyi also diagnosed that she was pregnant.

The Queen was not as wary of Huang Qiying's pregnancy as Gao Xiyue was. Instead, she expected the baby to be a prince.

It turned out that since the second prince Yonglian was six years old, he was sent to the Shangshufang by the Queen to study. He got up early and went to bed late every day, with almost no time to rest.

One day, the Queen was teaching Yonglian his lessons in Changchun Palace. Yonglian was so sleepy that he kept dozing off. The Queen saw this and got angry. She took Yonglian to the door and let him blow some cold air to wake his head up.

Unexpectedly, Yonglian developed a high fever that night and also developed asthma, and he could no longer ride a horse or shoot arrows.

The queen was now completely desperate. How could a weak prince who couldn't ride a horse or shoot arrows possibly ascend to the throne in the future? Now she had no one to rely on.

So after hearing the news that Huang Qiying was pregnant, she thought about adopting the child. Huang Qiying was of a bondservant family and she used to be her maid, so it was only natural to adopt her child.

The Queen attached great importance to Huang Qiying's pregnancy. Not only did she appoint a special imperial physician, she also paid special attention to the diet.

When Ruyi heard about the continuous happy events in the harem, she also started to think that if she could have a child, the emperor would not have ignored her for so long for the sake of the child.

But after so many years, I have tried everything and nothing works.

It was惢心 who reminded her that she could adopt someone else's child first.

After being reminded, Ruyi remembered that the eldest prince Yonghuang had no one to take care of him, so she could raise him first. She believed that the emperor would come to her for the sake of the eldest prince.

Now that she had the idea, Ruyi gritted her teeth and took out some of the remaining silver to give to惢心, asking him to make some cakes and secretly send them to Yonghuang.

It has to be said that after suffering a series of blows, Ruyi's feelings for Yonghuang are no longer as pure as in the original plot.

It's just exploitation.

After Yonghuang received the pastries given to him by惢心, he had the same idea as Ruyi. After such a long period of torture, he just wanted to escape from the control of the wet nurse first.

The favored concubines in the harem all have children, so it goes without saying that they will not raise him.

And Concubine Xian is the best choice. He also knows that Concubine Xian is not favored now. Could life be worse than it is now?

Moreover, he had heard that Empress Xian and his father were childhood sweethearts, so his father would definitely not ignore Empress Xian for too long. As Empress Xian's adopted son, his life would definitely be better than it is now.

Thinking of this, Yonghuang also became friendly to Suoxin who brought him snacks, and told her how difficult his life was now, and how he often had poor clothes and food.

He also hinted that it would be great if Suo Xin had an adoptive mother so that she wouldn't have to suffer such bullying.
