I just want to live a happy life

As long as the future wife can take care of his backyard, be filial to his mother, and let him have no worries, that will be enough.

He would naturally respect and treat Mrs. Fujin well.

"Mother, which one do you like? I will choose the one you think is suitable to be your daughter-in-law. I believe in your judgment." Yongqi asked.

Once he marries a wife, he will have to go to court and will definitely not have much time to accompany his mother. If he finds a wife that his mother likes and can take care of her on his behalf, he will feel relieved.

Chen Wanyin glared at him, wondering what he was saying, so she reached out and gently hit his arm.

"No matter what, take this book back and think about it carefully. When you have made up your mind, come back and tell mother."

Yongqi didn't say anything more, for fear that what he said would make his mother angry, so he changed the subject. He told Chen Wanyin some funny things he had heard, which made Chen Wanyin laugh from time to time.

Soon, Yongheng came over.

As soon as he came in, his eyes widened with surprise. He immediately ran to Yongqi and hugged his legs.

He was still shouting loudly: "Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, are you here to look for Yongheng?"

Looking at Yongheng's expectant eyes, Yongqi couldn't bear to refuse him: "Yes, Fifth Brother is here to play with Yongheng. Come and see what Fifth Brother brought you."

Yongqi came to Yonghe Palace and brought warm and thick fur for Chen Wanyin. Winter was about to come, and it would be best to keep Chen Wanyin warm.

What he brings to eternity are the little gadgets he likes most at his age.

Seeing that the two brothers were talking happily, Chen Wanyin did not disturb them, but went to ask the small kitchen to make some snacks that the brothers liked.

After Yongqi finished choosing, he told Chen Wanyin the result.

Chen Wanyin looked at the part circled by Yongqi in the booklet. Yongqi chose Xilin Gioro.

Xilin Gioro was born in the Manchu Bordered Blue Banner and was the granddaughter of Ortai, who was also a minister highly valued by Hongli. Chen Wanyin knew that this princess was gentle, dignified and generous, and was a good match for Yongqi.

The result was told to Hongli, who also took a liking to Xilin Gioro and naturally had no objection.

Soon, Hongli drafted the imperial edict, and Yongqi would get married next year.

After finishing Yongqi's work, she relaxed and had the leisure to sit by the fire, brew tea and enjoy life.

The year passed quickly, winter was over, and in the beginning of spring, Yongqi was conferred the title of Beile, and Chen Wanyin became busy again.

Because Yongqi was going to get married, after completing the three books and six ceremonies, it was Yongqi's wedding day.

Looking at Yongqi kneeling in front of her in festive clothes, Chen Wanyin's heart was filled with emotion, as her son was about to start a family.

"Mother, why are you looking at your son like this? Is there anything wrong?" Yongqi asked.

Chen Wanyin shook her head: "It's nothing. Mother is happy to see you getting married. The time has come. You should go and pick up the bride."

Looking at Yongqi's back, she hoped that Yongqi would live a happy and harmonious life in the future. This was her most sincere hope as a mother.

. . . . .

After Yongqi got married, he and his wife, Xilin Gioro, got along well and their personalities were compatible, which made Chen Wanyin feel relieved.

Chen Wanyin's life continued as usual. Perhaps it was because she was old. Although her appearance had not declined, Hongli did not come to Yonghe Palace as often as before.

She didn't care. She could live well without Hongli's favor anyway. She would be more comfortable without him coming.

Since Hongli ascended the throne, he has quelled many rebellions, both large and small, and thought he had accomplished a lot. As he reached middle age, he became lax and no longer worked as diligently as when he first ascended the throne.

He now began to become obsessed with women. Hongli was not picky about beauties. He liked both elegant and vulgar, strong and weak.

Wei Yanwan gave birth to another prince and climbed back to the position of concubine. In order to please Hongli, she teamed up with Jinzhong to select many beautiful palace maids for Hongli and presented them to him.

Hongli looked at these palace maids and felt that he liked every one of them, so he accepted them all. As a result, there were many more concubines and maids in the palace.

He was also very satisfied with Wei Yanwan, who was to his liking, so Wei Yanwan entered a period of great favor again.

Chen Wanyin didn't care about it. As long as Wei Yanwan didn't bother her, she would just pretend she didn't see it.

Ever since Gao Xiyue's daughter got married, the tension that had been building for Gao Xiyue seemed to relax. Her health gradually deteriorated and she was often bedridden.

Shupin was extremely disappointed with Hongli. In despair, she locked herself in the palace and refused to come out.

The Mongolian concubines, led by Concubine Ying, could not stand Wei Yanwan's behavior and were very disgusted with her. Concubine Ying also advised Hongli, but what Hongli hated most was others disobeying him, so he naturally would not listen.

Concubine Ying was also very disappointed with such an emperor, and gradually she stopped caring about him and focused on raising her daughter.

Yes, the child that Concubine Ying was carrying was born safely, and it was a princess.

Concubine Ying loved her own daughter very much, and the other Mongolian concubines also doted on this princess with Mongolian blood and often visited the little princess in Concubine Ying's palace.

No one among the high-ranking concubines could take care of this matter, and the other concubines of lower status naturally would not say much and all stayed away from it.

For a time, the harem became Wei Yanwan's home court.

Chen Wanyin just felt that Hongli was courting death. The last deer blood wine incident had already damaged his dragon body. Now he was still acting so willfully. He was really not afraid of death.

In order to please Hongli, Wei Yanwan obeyed him in everything. Later, she sent beautiful palace maids to Hongli several times, and Hongli fell into it.

Such indulgence was damaging his body, but he was unaware that the more women he had, the faster his body would deteriorate.

Chen Wanyin would not stop it. She was so happy that she could not contain herself. Hongli's life span was too long. After a few years, when Yongqi grew up, Hongli would definitely be afraid of him and suppress him.

Naturally, she didn't want to see Yongqi suffer any bad consequences because of Hongli, so she even expected Wei Yanwan to do something more extreme.

Because Hongli was satisfied with Wei Yanwan, she lived a very happy life during this period. However, one person's hatred for her only increased, and he was secretly trying to find a way to take revenge on her.

This person was Jin Yuyan. Because of the Fourth Prince's wedding, as his biological mother, and at Yongsheng's request, Jin Yuyan was released and her position as a concubine was restored.

But she had been hiding in the palace for so many years before her true identity was revealed. Hongli became wary of her and naturally did not dote on her as much as before.

After Jin Yuyan was released from confinement, the first thing she did was to investigate what happened that day. After much investigation, she found out that it was Wei Yanwan who ruined her good fortune. She also discovered that Jinzhong in the Yangxin Palace was actually Wei Yanwan's man.

This discovery surprised Jin Yuyan.
