Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

In fact, Zhou Xinyue could have used the murderer's token, but she didn't want to, so she kept it to remind herself at all times.

Gradually, my belly got bigger and bigger, and I could clearly see that I was pregnant.

Zhou Xinyue now doesn't go anywhere except staying in the yard every day.

She rejected all invitations sent to her for various reasons.

Apart from occasionally visiting the small ancestral temple to remember her aunt, no one could see her.

Every day, secret guards and visible guards take turns guarding the courtyard to ensure her safety during this period.

She had to make sure the baby was born safely.

The ingredients for the small kitchen are purchased daily by the people in the yard from vendors outside, and they are fresh every day.

The servants in the courtyard took turns to taste the cooked meals every day. Although Zhou Xinyue had requested that this not be done, the servants still insisted on doing so, which moved Zhou Xinyue deeply.

Zhou Xinyue had returned the tokens of all of her other concubines, except for Li Yingying.

She refused to return it on purpose with various reasons. In fact, Li Yingying could travel with just her face and could even go without the token for a short period of time.

However, Zhou Xinyue's actions caused strong dissatisfaction from Li Yingying.

In Li Yingying's courtyard, there were four women sitting in the flower hall.

Fu Huan said angrily: "Who is that woman? Does she think she is someone of royal status? Bah, she is nothing. She is just an orphan adopted by a family out of consideration for their old friendship. Does she really think she is the daughter of a royal family? She is so arrogant. She didn't come to sister Yunxiao's birthday party, nor did she attend the welcoming party when sister Yueyao's mother visited her. She even didn't attend sister Li Fei's birthday party. Who does she think she is? She is so arrogant. It's really excessive!"

Mei Shuang'er raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That's nothing. At the end of last month, the prince called a few monks to hold a blessing and sacrifice activity at the ancestral hall. They prayed not only for the deceased former princess, but also for the child in her belly. She didn't even come out for that kind of activity. It's really amazing! The key is that the prince also acquiesced and didn't say anything to her. You can tell how favored she is! Oh, I'm so envious!"

After saying that, Mei Shuang'er picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.

Yun Xiao usually doesn't talk much, but he couldn't help but say, "I heard that she has secretly occupied Sister Li Fei's personal token. Sister Li Fei asked for it several times but failed to get it. It's really hard to figure out what she wants to do!"

Li Yingying sneered and said, "Forget it. She just wants to show off her future appearance as the princess. She wants to tell everyone in the palace that she is not afraid of not getting what she wants. But it doesn't matter. The prince gave me his personal token, so I don't care!"

Fu Huan smiled and said, "That's right. She probably didn't expect that the prince would give you his personal token. The prince loves you dearly."

Li Yingying took out Jin Yourong's token and couldn't let it go as if she was holding a top-notch treasure.

She didn't know how many times she had touched it, the token even had the body scent of Jin Yourong, which made Li Yingying feel like she had found a treasure. She would hold it in her hand every day, stroking it and smelling it over and over again.

It was because Jin Yourong hurriedly gave her his personal token that she calmed down her irritable mood during that period.

Otherwise, if Zhou Xinyue had not returned the token, Li Yingying would have been furious and might even have rushed into the courtyard where Zhou Xinyue was and made a scene.

After stroking him for a while, Li Yingying asked, "How are you doing what I asked you to do?"

Mei Shuang'er said, "The stall where they buy vegetables has changed again. They no longer buy there. We just solved one problem and replaced it with our people. They went somewhere else the next day. I don't know how many people we solved during this period of time. It took a lot of energy. There is really nothing we can do!"

Li Yingying squinted at Mei Shuang'er and said angrily, "You can't even handle such a small matter, you idiot."

Mei Shuang'er didn't dare to speak.

Fu Huan said cautiously: "Sister, do you think she has discovered us?"

Li Yingying sneered and said, "So what if she finds out? What can she do to me?"

Everyone else present started laughing.

Jin Youyuan was listening to the report from the spy: "Miss Yue never goes out all day, not from the main gate or the secondary gate. Even other people in the mansion find it difficult to see her. Miss Yue's courtyard is protected like an iron barrel by the secret guards and the visible guards. It is difficult for us to take action."

Jin Youyuan remained silent for a while with a cold face, then waved his hand and asked the spy to leave.

He Shi whispered, "Your Majesty, Miss Yue...will she ever come back?"

Jin Youyuan looked out the window, was silent for a long time, and said, "Yes, she will definitely come back to my side."

Zhou Xinyue spent a relatively peaceful period in the mansion. Her belly grew bigger and bigger, and her body felt heavier and heavier.

Every day, Kim Woo-young would come to visit her and have dinner with her, but he never stayed overnight.

That day, Jin Yourong came to Zhou Xinyue's yard again and saw Zhou Xinyue struggling to hold the child.

Jin Yourong hurried over and said anxiously: "Yue'er, put the child down quickly."

After saying that, he took the child in his arms, turned around and said to Xiaolan and the others angrily: "Yue'er is pregnant now, it's inconvenient, how can you let her hold the child?"

Xiaolan and the others were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The child kept crying and didn't want anyone else to hold him. Miss Yue was just... Please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said hurriedly: "Ayu, did you scare them?"

Jin Yourong pulled a long face and said, "It's getting more and more inconvenient for you now. You have to think more about yourself. You can't just hug the child when he cries."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I get it."

Jin Yourong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come, come here. Come and sit over here."

Jin Yourong helped Zhou Xinyue to sit down in the pavilion. There were specially prepared chairs with backrests in the pavilion, and the chairs were covered with many cushions.

The chair was very comfortable, and Zhou Xinyue often leaned on it and played with Hongzhi in the pavilion.

Kim Woo-young also likes to have dinner with her here every day.

After Zhou Xinyue sat down, she mysteriously asked Fanxing to bring the child over.

Zhou Xinyue pretended to be mysterious and said: "Ayu, I have a surprise for you."

Jin Yourong looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said lovingly: "What surprise? No matter what surprise you give me, I like it."

Zhou Xinyue said happily: "I guarantee you will like it, just wait. Xing'er, give the baby to me."

The child was struggling to break free from Fanxing's arms. While he was resisting, he suddenly heard Zhou Xinyue wanting to hug him. He happily stretched out his hands for a hug.
