After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

By the end of April, the capital had become hot. The flowers in the Forbidden City were blooming in full bloom, red, yellow, purple and blue, creating a gorgeous sight. The Yongshou Palace was also filled with joy.

"This is Yunnan's mushroom, which is specially used to nourish the body, especially for women after giving birth. I prepared a portion for the young lady, Noble An, and Concubine Hui. There are also these three-flower wine and moon persimmons, which taste very sweet. Oh, and there are also Jiangnan cakes..."

Yu Shan introduced them one by one, and the square tables in the main hall of Yongshou Palace were almost full.

Zhen Huan covered her mouth and laughed, "It's really hard for you to bring back so many things. You've been gone for half a year, you must be exhausted, right?"

Yu Shan nodded and thought carefully. The journey was indeed tiring, but after coming back she felt it was a long-lasting aftertaste and even wanted to go again!

It is said that after she returned, Concubine An and Concubine Hui came to Yongshou Palace to talk, thinking that she was still there. They wanted to ask her about what she saw and heard along the way, but they were told that something happened in the palace and Yushan had to go back before sunset. Both of them felt regretful, but when they saw what she brought them, the loss in their hearts was reduced a little.

During these days, Yu Shan went in and out of all the major clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics shops in the capital. As promised, Prince Guo accompanied her tirelessly and even expressed his opinions from time to time to help her make decisions. Finally, everything was prepared before Yu Rao's wedding.

The fifth day of May was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Yu Rao's wedding was also scheduled for this day. It was a day of double happiness, and Yongshou Palace and Prince Guo's Mansion became the most lively places.

Yu Shan saw that Shen Beile was sincere to Yu Rao and nodded with relief. When the prince found out, he held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Shen Beile is a man worthy of trust. You can rest assured that Yu Rao will marry him."

Yu Shan nodded and replied with a tearful voice: "I know."

She knew it but she was still crying. Could it be that this girl envied Yu Rao and his wife?

Prince Guo felt nervous, and sweat oozed from his palm as he held her hand. "Yushan, don't worry. I will only treat you well in this life. All my thoughts are only on you. I will let you have what other women can have. I won't let you envy others."

Yu Shan didn't expect him to confess suddenly. She felt shy and lowered her head.

Not long after Yu Rao got married, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill. Zhen Huan ordered a thorough investigation and found out that the emperor had been secretly using elixirs for the past six months. His already overworked body could not bear the sudden intake of so many tonic medicines and he fell into a coma.

The imperial physician served the emperor in the Yangxin Palace for three days and three nights before he woke up.

The concubines, led by Zhen Huan, knelt on the ground, each crying.

Watching the emperor becoming increasingly thin, Zhen Huan recalled every detail of her life since entering the palace. She and the emperor had experienced the purest feelings, but also the deepest suspicion and distrust...

That day, she called Wen Shichu and told him, "The emperor has been so busy with state affairs that he is seriously ill. No matter what medicine or method you use, I ask you to try your best. If it can alleviate the emperor's condition, it would be the best. If not, it will be considered that I have done my best."

Wen Shichu agreed, and worked with the skilled old doctors from the Imperial Hospital to stay in the Yangxin Palace for several months. Summer passed and autumn came, and winter was almost here. The emperor's health improved a little, and he would review memorials and meet with ministers whenever he had time. No matter how Zhen Huan and other concubines tried to persuade him, he refused to give up. After a long time, Zhen Huan stopped trying to persuade him.

When the first snow fell in Beijing, news came from Prince Guo’s mansion that Yu Shan was more than two months pregnant.

The winter was long and cold, and the emperor's health, which had just recovered, became worse again. Prince Guo rushed back and forth between the prince's mansion and the palace, taking care of Yushan's fetus and attending to the emperor during his illness, and he lost a lot of weight.

In the first month of that year, the people in the palace were in panic, and there was sadness and sorrow everywhere. The emperor finally could not survive and passed away on the eighth day of the first month.

Yu Shan entered the palace with a big belly to accompany Zhen Huan. She knew very well that when the emperor passed away in the previous life, her elder sister was filled with more hatred. But in this life, the emperor was not so hateful and her elder sister did not transfer her affection to others. She could see that although her elder sister did not say it, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

After the emperor's funeral ceremony, the new emperor ascended the throne and promoted the previous emperor's concubines. Although they had lost their husbands, they no longer had to fight, and most of them looked gentler and calmer.

In May of the following year, Yu Shan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The whole Prince Guo's mansion was filled with joy and excitement. Zhen Huan, who had become the Queen Mother, came out of the palace in person to congratulate her, and Mei Zhuang followed her.

Yu Shan held the pair of one-month-old babies in her arms and showed them to everyone. Everyone praised the pair for being well-behaved and cute.

In the bedroom, Zhen Huan told Yu Shan that today was Mei Zhuang's last day in the capital. Starting tomorrow, she would travel around with Wen Shichu and Princess Jinghe. It was hard to say when they would return to the capital. Maybe she would settle down somewhere.

Yu Shan was happy from the bottom of her heart. In this life, Mei Zhuang and Doctor Wen both knew their own hearts. They finally did not let down the people they loved and walked together bravely and boldly.

Of course, before Wen Shichu left, he had taught all his medical skills to Wei Lin. Wei Lin and Caiyue were about to get married. He was positive and intelligent, and wanted to move up in the Imperial Hospital, while Wen Shichu was a slow-tempered person and did not pursue fame, wealth and power much.

It’s good this way. Those who are ambitious can climb up all the way, while those who are indifferent can just be comfortable and restrained.

Noble Lady An was unable to leave the palace to congratulate because she caught a cold. Yu Shan heard the news from her eldest sister. Now, Lady An, apart from teaching the children, comes to talk and keep her eldest sister company. The relationship between the two sisters is growing deeper and deeper.

She also heard that Lady An's son was very well-behaved and intelligent. At such a young age, he was like a little adult and did things in a graceful and elegant manner.

Yu Shan felt very relieved. In this life, Concubine An no longer had to live cautiously. She had her own son to rely on, and she could also lean against the incense burner with her good sister until dawn when she was old.

That’s great, everyone has a good place to go.

That day, Yu Shan was sitting by the window, gently waving a palm-leaf fan. A gust of wind blew, making the fan shake even more vigorously. Prince Guo walked into the room and saw the fragile scene of the beautiful woman, and his heart tightened.

He felt as if he had seen this scene and the person in front of him in his previous life, and that he had an indissoluble bond with her.

He brought a bowl of warm tea and placed it next to Yu Shan. "It's windy by the window. Let's go back to the bedroom."

Yu Shan turned her head. The prince's face looked elegant and imposing in the sunlight. Before she could speak, the prince helped her up and held her tightly in his arms.

"Yushan, I feel like I am the happiest man in the world. I am happy to have you. I always think that the relationship between you and me is arranged by God, and it seems like it is a fate destined in the previous life. Promise me that you will never leave me in this life, okay?"

Yu Shan was so happy, how could she leave? The man in front of her was the one she had loved for two lifetimes. The long-cherished wish that she had not fulfilled in her last lifetime was finally fulfilled in this lifetime.

She looked at the prince tenderly, just as the prince looked at her, and they smiled at each other, like lovers who fell in love at first sight, or like two elders who had supported each other for a lifetime.

Yu Shan slowly closed her eyes and waited for the prince's lips to fall. This time, she knew clearly that the man in front of her had her in his heart, and it was all about her!
