I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 5 Chen Wanyin 05

For three days in a row, the women in the backyard could not sit still. Just when the resentment in the backyard was about to reach the sky, Hongli finally did not go to find Chen Wanyin, but turned around and went to Fu Jin's place to visit the eldest princess.

After one night in the main courtyard, he went to his beloved Qingying again, talked about poetry with her in Yiyuxuan, and recalled the good times they spent together when they were young. Because of Hongli's arrival, his face, which had become haggard because of his exclusive favor for Chen Wanyin, became radiant again, and he regained his former pride.

After resting for two nights in Yiyuxuan, Hongli returned to the front yard. He did not ask anyone to serve him that night, but rested alone.

Afterwards, she went to Princess Fucha's place. As the mother of the only prince in the mansion, Princess Fucha still had some face.

Then we went to Princess Gao in the Crescent Moon Pavilion and rested there for a night. Finally we went to Princess Jin and Princess Huang.

Hongli went to all the women in the backyard and their resentment finally subsided. The backyard then returned to its previous tranquility, at least on the surface nothing had happened.

Because A Ruo, who was the most troublemaker, was punished by Fu Jin, she was feeling ashamed and was not in the mood to make trouble.

Soon, on the 15th, it was time to pay respects again.

On this day, Chen Wanyin got up early and was about to go to the main courtyard to pay her respects.

Unexpectedly, at this time, someone from the main courtyard came to report that there was no need to pay respects today.

After asking, they found out that the eldest princess was sick again. Mrs. Fu was very worried, so she told them not to go.

The eldest princess was born weak, and was usually taken care of with all kinds of good things. Fortunately, she was born in a wealthy family, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago.

But Chen Wanyin knew that the eldest princess would not live long, so under this circumstance she had better go out less and stay in the small courtyard. Hongli had rewarded her with many things some time ago, so she lacked nothing now.

Ever since the eldest princess fell ill, she has been in remission. Hongli now has two children, and his only princess is sick, so he is worried. So he stayed in the main courtyard for a few days and accompanied the eldest princess with his wife.

Only after the eldest princess's condition stabilized and improved did she go to the other people.

Time passed by slowly and it was the hottest time of the year.

It was also at this time that the eldest princess did not survive and died after only six months in this world.

Fu Jin cried so hard that she fainted. The servants had to take care of the eldest princess' affairs and the fainted Fu Jin, and they were too busy to handle it all. The main courtyard was in chaos. Fortunately, Hongli hurried over to take charge of the situation and slowly restored the previous order.

Because of the death of the eldest princess, the backyard fell into a slump, and Hongli was in no mood to take people to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

Fortunately, there was plenty of ice in the mansion, which helped to reduce the heat. The servants were trembling with fear, and the sound of their steps was much quieter than usual, for fear of angering their master and being punished.

Life went on as usual, and as the hot weather passed, Fu Jin finally came out of her grief.

Chen Wanyin also took advantage of the time when she didn't have to pay her respects to the emperor to extract water droplets from the plants. There was a special place for growing flowers in the mansion, and water droplets would be delivered to each courtyard every few days.

Chen Wanyin extracted it from the flowers that were sent to her, but she only extracted one drop from each flower. In this way, the flowers slowly withered without arousing suspicion. Everyone thought that the flowers died because the weather was too hot.

Sometimes, she would go out for a walk when there were fewer people around and take the opportunity to extract it from the plants.

After a period of time, I have gained a lot.

She already had a full cup of white water drops, and the most surprising thing was that there were also red water drops, cyan water drops, blue water drops, and black water drops.

Red water drops are used to amplify emotions, for example, making anger even more angry, and also causing resentment and unwillingness.

Chen Wanyin hadn't figured out when to use it yet, so she put it away.

But the cyan water drop is her favorite now, because it is equivalent to a loyalty talisman. After taking it, the person will be loyal to her and will never betray her.

On the day when Chen Wanyin collected the green water drops, she found an excuse and asked all the servants in the courtyard to take them. Only then did she completely relax and no longer had to worry about the people around her having ulterior motives and being like a time bomb that could stab her at any time.

The blue water drops have similar effects to the beauty pills. They can both beautify the skin and repair internal damage to the body. Chen Wanyin tried it several times and she felt that there was nothing wrong with her body. Especially after sleeping with the emperor, taking a few drops would immediately restore her spirit.

The black drops are unusual because they are poison. If they are put in the food we eat, they will slowly make people weak until they die. Moreover, they are colorless and odorless and cannot be detected, making them a deadly weapon.

However, everything has its limitations. Chen Wanyin has been collecting water droplets for such a long time, and the least amount of water droplets are black, while the most are white and blue.

Just when Chen Wanyin was immersed in extracting the water droplets, the wife of the main courtyard finally recovered her former spirit and notified everyone to pay her respects to the main courtyard tomorrow.

On the day of paying respects, Chen Wanyin struggled to get out of bed. Her mind was still confused. After washing her face, she finally woke up.

Leaving Nianrui to look after the courtyard, Chen Wanyin was supported by Shunxin and rushed to the main courtyard.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, after everyone was present, Fu Jin came out. Chen Wanyin looked at Fu Jin's face, which had returned to normal, without any trace of sadness. She looked at the people below them in an elegant and dignified manner.

After paying respects, it was Princess Fucha who spoke first. She was wearing a light yellow Manchu dress and had a gentle appearance, but there was a hint of contempt for others on her face, which ruined her beauty.

"Fujin, the eldest prince is about to turn one year old. I don't know when we will prepare the birthday banquet. I want to make some plans in advance."

To be honest, everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Chen Wanyin was stunned. Was this Princess Fucha really stupid, or was she so proud of herself as the only one in the mansion who gave birth to a prince that she didn't care about anything.

Didn’t you see that Fu Jin’s hands were clenched tightly?

Someone else's child just died, and you are here happily talking about your child's first birthday party. Can't you tell Hongli in private? Why do you have to say it now?

Isn't this just hitting Fu Jin's sore spot?

Of course, Princess Fucha said this on purpose.

She felt that this was not enough, and continued to stab him: "Now the eldest brother is getting older and bigger, and he has gained a lot of weight. I can hardly hold him anymore."

Of course she had something to rely on to say these things, and she was not afraid of Fu Jin's revenge. Fu Cha Gege and Fu Jin were from the same family. Although Fu Cha Gege was not from the main branch, she was still considered Fu Cha Fu Jin's cousin.

Now that the concubine has no children, the Fucha family will never allow anything to happen to the eldest prince before the concubine gives birth to a legitimate son. Even if there is a legitimate son in the future, but he has not grown up, the eldest prince will also be a backup option.

Princess Fucha is also smart. She knows that as long as the Fucha family is there, the eldest prince will definitely be fine. But she is also really stupid. If the eldest prince is fine, does that mean she will be safe?

The same thing happened to Princess Fucha. After having the eldest prince, she not only did not keep a low profile, but also caused trouble. No wonder she died of dystocia in the end, and even the newborn princess lost her life.
