I just want to live a happy life

Although Chen Wanyin had been to the Old Summer Palace several times, it was so huge that she was unable to see it all after several visits.

Chen Wanyin went to a large lake, which was full of brightly blooming lotus flowers.

There is a pavilion in the center of the lake, which is transparent on all sides and is a good place to cool off.

Chen Wanyin walked across the curved corridor connected to the pavilion and arrived at the pavilion. As soon as she stood on it, a slight breeze blew, and Chen Wanyin squinted comfortably.

Nianrui and Shunxin led people to clean the pavilion. This pavilion was often cleaned, so it was not very dirty. A few people only needed to clean it up briefly and it was clean.

Nian Rui brought a cushion with gold edges drawn in gold thread and placed it on the stone bench. After Chen Wanyin sat down, Shunxin served her tea and snacks.

I have to say that life with someone serving you is really comfortable.

Chen Wanyin rested for a while, waiting until the heat had completely subsided. She looked at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake and asked someone to pick some lotus flowers and lotus pods. She wanted to enjoy a lotus feast.

After picking the fruits, they asked someone to send them back. Chen Wanyin then took people to visit other places. They returned to their residence only when it was dark.

She lives in Shuimu Mingse, which is built by the water, has north-south access, beautiful scenery, and is a very comfortable place.

She took a shower first, changed into comfortable clothes and then sat in the room waiting for the lotus feast.

Unexpectedly, before she could wait for the Lotus Banquet, Hongli arrived first.

Chen Wanyin heard the noise and ran over with a look of joy on her face. As soon as Hongli came in, he saw that she was wearing simple and light clothes.

Because she had just taken a shower, her hair was still a little wet. Her hair was loose, which made her face look even whiter and more rosy.

She clearly felt Hongli's fiery gaze, and a hint of embarrassment emerged on her face, with her cheeks gradually turning rouge.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Get up." Although he said this, Hongli pulled her up and held her waist tightly with his hands.

"What was Wanyin doing just now?" Hongli asked softly as they sat together.

"It is a great coincidence that Your Majesty has come today. I have asked someone to prepare a lotus feast. Your Majesty, please try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nian Rui came in and said that the lotus banquet was ready.

"Then I'll definitely try it." Hongli also looked interested.

When the two of them sat down at the table, it was already full of lotus tea, lotus cake, lotus duck, lotus chicken, lotus seed porridge, etc. It was dazzling and delicious.

Looking at the lotus seed porridge, Hongli realized that he and Chen Wanyin didn't have any children yet.

After dinner, the two of them read a book. After so many years of study, Chen Wanyin has also learned a lot about poetry, and the two of them talked very harmoniously.

As he was speaking, Hongli put his hand on Chen Wanyin's belly.

"I still have too few children now. When can you give birth to a child for me?"

Chen Wanyin thought about it and felt that it was time for her to have a baby. Now was a good time. There were few children in the harem, and Hongli would definitely pay attention to him. If she delayed any further, it would be disadvantageous to her.

She was too weak before. Even with the golden finger, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect the child after giving birth and accidentally let the child get hurt.

Now, she is fully grown and prepared in all aspects. She will definitely be able to protect her child and raise him safely.

Since she was preparing to get pregnant, she took fertility pills that night.

Chen Wanyin was very passionate tonight, and Hongli also felt it. The two of them made love for half the night before it ended.

On the second day, Chen Wanyin got up late again as expected. When she got up, she felt sore all over and very uncomfortable. She took out the white water drops from the space and drank some before she regained her energy.

Next, Chen Wanyin had a great time in the Old Summer Palace, and after taking the fertility pills for a month, she finally became pregnant.

Chen Wanyin touched her belly and smiled slightly. It was still early now and she planned to wait two months before telling the truth.

She also took pills to preserve her pregnancy, so her pregnancy had no impact on her daily life.

Chen Wanyin received good news, but Hongli received bad news.

It turned out that the queen's uncle had been bedridden for many years and died. The queen was heartbroken to hear the news, and Hongli stayed with her in Changchun Xianguan during this period.

Even with Hongli's company, the empress was very haggard. She was sad about the death of her uncle, which meant the Fucha family lost its pillar, and she was also tired that she would have to carry all the glory of the Fucha family in the future.

Her biological son Yonglian was in increasingly poor health, and no one knew how long he could last. If she lost Yonglian, what would she, a childless queen, do?

At this time, the Queen learned that Ruyi's father accidentally fell into the water and died while building a river embankment, and Hongli also asked someone to send 1,200 taels of silver to Ulanara's mansion.

She was angry that even though Ruyi was sent to the cold palace, Hongli still cared about her, and Su Lian was by her side constantly reminding her that she almost missed the chance to become the legitimate wife.

The Queen completely lost her mind and asked Zhao Yitai to secretly tell Ruyi the news of Narbu's death.

"I lost my uncle and experienced the heart-wrenching pain. It's time for her to have a taste of it too."

……

When Ruyi heard the news, she walked to the door of the cold palace despite the heavy rain outside, and shouted Ling Yunche's name loudly, begging him to go to her house to see if the news was true.

After confirming the authenticity of the news, Ruyi lost her appetite and regretted deeply that she had accidentally fallen into someone else's trap and ended up in this situation. She could not help at all when her father passed away.

Thinking of this, Ruyi's sad tears kept flowing, and she secretly hated herself for not living up to her expectations.

But she had no choice. No one in the harem was on good terms with her. Since she was sent to the cold palace, the concubines who used to surround her had long since stopped interacting with her.

Even if she wanted to burn some paper money for her father, she couldn't do it.

It has to be said that Ruyi was really in trouble this time. Without Hai Lan, the Queen could not send paper money to Ruyi under the pretext of Hai Lan.

The Queen Mother was not taken to the cold palace and was assassinated by Concubine Ji. Ruyi saved the Queen Mother and was grateful to her.

Ling Yunche was just a guard in the cold palace. He had no right to bring something like paper money, which was usually taboo, into the cold palace.

Ruyi could only feel sad about her father's death and could do nothing else.

Hongli, who was far away in the Old Summer Palace, was annoyed by the series of events and lost the joy of summer vacation. He packed up a little and prepared to return to the palace.

Chen Wanyin sat in a separate carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside. Midsummer had passed and autumn was almost here.

After arriving at the palace, not long after, Chen Wanyin told Hongli that she had been pregnant for more than two months.

Hongli was very happy to hear this. There was finally a happy event during this period. Hongli was so happy that he immediately promoted her to Yupin.

When the Queen learned the news of Chen Wanyin's promotion, she was dissatisfied with Hongli for not informing her in advance, but she also felt a strange sense of entitlement in her heart.

After all, Chen Wanyin has always been favored, it would be strange if she was not promoted.
