I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 149 Fu Cha Yi Xin 25

Soon, it was the day when Yi Xin gave birth.

Because the things that had been produced previously had already been prepared, the palace maids and eunuchs in the Yanxi Palace were busy without any chaos.

Today, Yi Xin felt a familiar abdominal pain and knew that she was going to give birth today. She did not ask people around her to notify them at first, but ate something first. After all, giving birth is a strenuous job.

Before she entered the delivery room, she had someone notify the emperor and Concubine Jing, who was promoted to concubine by the emperor and was now in charge of the affairs of the harem.

Outside the delivery room, the emperor was waiting anxiously. Although he couldn't show it on his face, the eighteen beads in his hand were spinning very fast, almost making sparks come out.

About two hours later, the emperor heard a cry coming from the delivery room.

The cry was loud and clear, although childish but very energetic.

When the emperor heard the voice, he stood up from his chair with excitement in his eyes. The concubines who came after hearing the news lowered their heads and held their handkerchiefs. It was obvious from their movements that they were in a very bad mood.

They still couldn't control their expressions. Some concubines had already disguised themselves very well. They seized the opportunity to congratulate the emperor with a smile, hoping to leave some impression on him.

Not long after, a midwife came out holding the swaddling clothes and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Rou gave birth to a prince."

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He opened the lid and took a look. The newborn baby was red, like a red-skinned monkey.

But the emperor found him more and more handsome the more he looked at him. This was another prince he had after having Hong Zhou. His birth made him feel much less guilty.

After all, he had always believed that he had no children after he became emperor, and he always felt that it was because he was cursed. Many of his children died because of his neglect.

There was also Concubine Nian's child, and he asked Concubine Duan to give her an abortion drug. This was tantamount to killing one's own child.

But now he has another prince born. God has been kind to him, and this child has the highest birth rate among all his children.

The mothers of his other brothers were all from the bannermen or Han military banners, but this child's mother was from the Manchu military banner.

The emperor was very happy when he saw the child. "This is the first prince born after I ascended the throne. I will name him Hongyao, and promote Concubine Rou to Concubine Rou."

The people in the Yanx Palace couldn't help but look at each other, with obvious joy in their eyes, and they quickly knelt down to thank the emperor.

Because Yi Xin gave birth to a prince, not only did the emperor send her many rewards, but the concubines in the harem also sent gifts to the Yanx Palace regardless of what they thought in their hearts.

Yi Xin leaned on the bed and listened to Hongyu read out to her what was sent to the Yanxi Palace.

There were so many gifts. Yi Xin listened for a long time but still hadn’t finished.

With all these things, her warehouse is almost full, and she might even need to open another room as a warehouse.

Of course, these gifts were not only given by the emperor and concubines, but also by people outside the palace, especially the Fucha family. The Fucha family is one of the eight major Manchu surnames and has a profound heritage, so the gifts they gave were priceless.

After Hongyu finished reading, she paused for a moment, took out some things and handed them to Yixin: "Madam, these things were secretly given to me by the Fucha family."

Yi Xin took it. In the wooden box, besides a thick stack of banknotes, there was also a piece of paper, on which was written all the connections of the Fucha family in the palace.

Previously, the Fucha family gave her a portion of the connections in the palace, but this time they gave her all of them.

Yi Xin understood what the Fucha family meant at a glance. It seemed that they fully supported her and her child.

Yi Xin had no objection to this. After all, she wanted her child to ascend to that supreme position, and with the support of the Fucha family, it would save her more effort.

It's beneficial to both parties, there's nothing wrong with cooperation.

After putting the wooden box away, Yi Xin looked at the child sleeping in the small bed next to her. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly with his two little hands on his cheeks, looking very cute.

Yi Xin couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Unlike the peaceful days here and the bright future, Zhen Huan is in trouble again.

At first, Yi Xin thought that if she and Concubine Qi had not walked together this time, Zhen Huan would not have been forced to kneel and slapped.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, Zhen Huan finally bumped into Concubine Qi's hands.

Ever since Zhen Huan's child was killed, the Emperor was very dissatisfied with the way the murderer of her child dealt with her. Therefore, she had many dissatisfactions with the Emperor. The Emperor was annoyed and lost his patience. Zhen Huan gradually fell out of favor. Later, Huanbi gained the Emperor's favor. Under constant stimulation, Zhen Huan was sad and disappointed, and she was unable to recover.

Shen Meizhuang saw it clearly. She knew that although Zhen Huan was disappointed with the Emperor, she had not given up on him completely like her. In order to cheer her up, she took her to the cold palace to see Concubine Fang, who had lost her child and favor, and Concubine Li, who had gone crazy.

She wanted Zhen Huan to learn from these two people, and said righteously that for the sake of the family and to survive well in the palace, she must make plans early.

When Zhen Huan saw the two people in the cold palace, she wanted to reconcile with the emperor. However, she had tried hard before to get the emperor to go to her palace from Huanbi, but the emperor seemed to be obsessed with Huanbi and was unwilling to go to her.

She hated Huanbi very much whenever she thought of her. If she had known this day would come, she would have just found someone to marry Huanbi off, and there would be no need for her to oppose her in every way like today.

After separating from Shen Meizhuang, on the way back, Zhen Huan was immersed in thinking about how to win the emperor's favor again. She didn't look at the road for a moment and accidentally bumped into Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was very angry about this. When she saw Zhen Huan, she thought of Huanbi, the servant who used to be Zhen Huan's maid but was now arrogant in the harem. Judging from her appearance, she might have been indulged by Zhen Huan.

Moreover, the birth of Prince Roufei really threatened Hongshi's position. Now that she had a young son, the emperor came to see Hongshi and asked him about his homework time. She saw that the time was obviously decreasing. She was already irritable, and now Zhen Huan bumped into her.

If she wasn't punished, she really didn't know who to vent her anger on.

So, Concubine Qi ordered Zhen Huan to kneel in front of the long street for three hours, and asked Cui Guo, who was beside her, to slap Zhen Huan in the face.

Cuiguo felt a little reluctant, but she still did it under the urging of Concubine Qi. She beat Zhen Huan's face until it was swollen and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Zhen Huan's miserable appearance, Concubine Qi finally felt relieved. She left Cuiguo to watch over her and then left.

Zhen Huan was kneeling in front of the long street with obvious marks of being beaten on her face. The palace maids and eunuchs passing by couldn't help but look at her. Noticing their intentional or unintentional stares, Zhen Huan was very embarrassed, but in order to maintain her decency, she pretended to ignore such gazes.

But because of Concubine Qi's punishment, she also realized the cruel reality in her heart.

If she doesn't cheer up, there will be no place for her in the harem.
