I just want to live a happy life

The queen can remain so calm, but Kim Yu-yeon cannot.

Snapped-

Jin Yuyan waved her hand and smashed the teacup, her face distorted with anger.

"Isn't it just that she's pregnant? Everyone has experienced this. The emperor really dotes on her. When she's pregnant, he makes her a concubine. If she gives birth to a prince, she'll be a consort. That would really put her above me."

She touched her armor and walked around the palace anxiously.

"No, no, we must not let her have her wish." Jin Yuyan's eyes flashed with viciousness, "We must not keep her baby."

. . . .

Nianrui and Shunxin looked at the rewards sent by the emperor and the gifts sent by other ladies in the harem with smiles on their faces.

Nian Rui said to Chen Wanyin who had moved to the main hall of Yonghe Palace, "Master, there are too many things sent here. Our warehouse really can't hold them all this time."

Chen Wanyin was flipping through a book, looking lazy and casual: "If there's no room, just open another one next door."

As she spoke, she remembered something: "By the way, you guys pick out some good, soft fabrics that are next to the skin. I want to make some small clothes."

Shunxin nodded: "I've made note of it, but since my master is pregnant, I'll let my servant do these things. My master, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health and not work too hard."

Chen Wanyin laughed and shook her head: "It's not hard to do these things. Besides, the baby is still young. If we do it early and do a little bit every day, we won't feel tired at all."

This is her first time being a mother, and now her heart is filled with love for her child. She will always feel uncomfortable if she doesn't do something.

Since Chen Wanyin was pregnant, she naturally could not sleep with him. Hongli would rarely stay overnight except visiting her at meal times.

There are only a few concubines in the harem, and they have all been with Hongli for a long time. Hongli is not a nostalgic person, so naturally he is tired of them.

Although Bai Ruiji is the empress dowager's person, she is out of favor now. Since Ruyi was imprisoned in the cold palace, the emperor felt sorry for her child's death and promoted her to a noble lady.

Even so, this was probably the last mercy shown to her, and she would no longer be favored.

The Queen Mother was unwilling to see her chess piece go to waste, so she selected two more daughters from among the ministers.

One was Lu Muping, the daughter of Lu Shilon, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, who was sent to Hongli when he was in the Old Summer Palace.

However, Hongli was not interested in her, but for the sake of the empress dowager's face, he finally accepted her. However, after favoring her a few times, he threw her aside.

Now the Queen Mother looked at Hongli's condition and immediately felt that the opportunity had come. She was also mentally prepared for Lu Muping's unfavorability, but her biggest killer move was not her.

On this day, it is the Double Ninth Festival.

Hongli held a banquet to entertain the concubines and clan ministers, and the empress dowager was also very happy that day because her daughter who was raised outside the palace also entered the palace.

The empress dowager appeared with Hongli and the empress. When they arrived at their seats, she responded politely to the empress's flattery. There was no incident of the empress dowager being taken to the cold palace, and the empress dowager did not act sarcastic to the empress in front of everyone.

After the three people with the highest status were seated, everyone else took their seats. Chen Wanyin sat in her seat, watching the singing and dancing below, eating something from time to time, and seemed quite comfortable.

After the song and dance ended, the Queen Mother saw that the time was ripe and gave Fujia a look, who immediately understood.

She went out to give some instructions and then returned to the Queen Mother.

Hongli was drinking and talking with his relatives and ministers.

At this time, a woman's gentle voice came from outside, and a woman in a blue Manchu dress walked in with a round fan covering her face, singing a song "Drunk in the Flower Shades".

The voice is soft and gentle, very pleasant to hear.

When Hongli heard this, his attention was immediately drawn to the woman. She walked to the front and took out the round fan, revealing her fresh, elegant and otherworldly face.

When Hongli saw her appearance, his gaze, which had already been fixed on her, became even hotter.

However, the concubines in the harem all looked unhappy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this woman would most likely enter the harem. They were already short of favors, and if another one came in, what would happen?

For a moment, their eyes were all on the woman who appeared, with unclear meanings.

Chen Wanyin could feel the murderous aura constantly being released around her.

Soon, the poem "Drunk on the Flower Shade" ended. It was used to express her longing for her husband. She was using it to express her love to Hongli. How could Hongli not see that he loved Han poetry?

Hongli looked at the kneeling woman and asked, "What's your name?"

"Yihuan," Yihuan looked at Hongli and replied, with a hint of affection in her eyes.

The empress dowager looked at Hongli's face and knew that he was interested: "Emperor, this Yihuan is the daughter of the Minister Yongshou. She has always loved poetry and you have the same hobby. Emperor, what do you think?"

Hongli said, "The people recommended by the Empress Dowager are always good." It is not known whether this sentence is simply a sigh of the Empress Dowager's good vision, or it is meant to be a reference. "I wonder what Yihuan's last name is?"

"Yehena clan."

After hearing this surname, the corners of Hongli's mouth, which were originally curved, flattened for a moment, and the concubines in the harem were also surprised.

And Jin Yuyan reacted strongly, with doubt in her voice.

"The Yehenara clan, I came from the Yu clan, and I know that it was destroyed by Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing dynasty. Before his death, he swore that he would destroy the Aisin-Gioro clan even if there was only one woman left. I don't know if that's true."

Chen Wanyin thought, this couldn't be more true, in the end it was the women of the Yehenara clan who destroyed the Aisin-Gioro clan.

Hongli also showed a look of hesitation in his eyes, but he quickly rescued the empress dowager who brought Yihuan in.

"The Yehe tribe has already surrendered, and Yihuan's father is also loyal to the emperor. She is just a woman, and she can't be a spirit. Emperor, what do you think?"

Although Hongli showed some hesitation, he was unwilling to let go of such a beauty. Yihuan was well versed in poetry and very much suited his taste, so he kept her by his side to serve him.

Chen Wanyin thought that Gao Xiyue had really kept a low profile this time and did not show off in such occasions, so naturally there was no such thing as everyone going outside to watch the fireworks together.

There was no incident in the cold palace because of this. Hongli was immersed in the gentleness of his life and completely forgot about Ruyi.

After the palace banquet, the Empress Dowager took Princess Hengti to the Cining Palace to live for a few days, and Hongli conferred the title of Shu Guiren on Yihuan and let her live in the Chuxiu Palace.

A few days before Yihuan was named Shu Guiren, Hongli did not favor her. In the final analysis, he was still on guard. In Hongli's eyes, Yihuan was a chess piece placed by the empress dowager by her side.
