I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 153 Fu Cha Yi Xin 29

Zhen Huan's eyes were fixed on the gate of Sui Yuxuan, hoping to see the emperor.

A moment later, Zhen Huan saw Xiao Xia Zi, who was beside the emperor, come in. She thought he was the one who cleared the way for the emperor, and the emperor should be behind him.

Looked behind him, but...no one.

At this time, Xiao Xiazi also walked up to Zhen Huan and said, "Greetings to Concubine Wan."

Zhen Huan did not call out, but hurriedly asked: "Where is the emperor? Didn't the emperor come?"

Xiao Xiazi said, "My Lady Wan, the Emperor has been dealing with too many state affairs today and is very tired. He has gone to bed now. The Emperor asked me to tell My Lady Wan that he will come to see you when he has time."

When Zhen Huan heard this, her face became a little stiff. She didn't believe what Xiao Xia Zi said at all. She said that he was too tired and went to bed. It sounded like an excuse to fool her. The emperor must have encountered some problems.

She remembered what Xiao Yunzi had told her, that the Emperor had gone to the Empress Dowager's palace. It seemed that the matter was related to the Empress Dowager.

But even so, he couldn't not come. He had clearly promised her that he would come, and what couldn't he tell her? Maybe she would work with him to find a solution.

What is going on? Why is there always something preventing the emperor from coming to her? She feels upset whenever she thinks about it.

But this was just what she thought in her heart. She didn't dare to complain to the emperor out loud, and she had to act understanding.

Zhen Huan forced herself to smile: "Thank you, Eunuch Xia, for coming to tell me about this matter. Your Majesty, I'll ask those of you who are with your side to take good care of it."

As she spoke, she gestured to Jin Xi, who understood immediately and immediately took out a purse filled with silver and handed it to Xiao Xia Zi.

Zhen Huan looked at the purse being put into Xiao Xia Zi's hand by Jin Xi, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes. She hadn't felt that way before, but now, seeing the silver being given away, she wanted to snatch it back immediately.

The truth is that she is running out of money.

Xiao Xiazi did not refuse. He put the purse in his arms and said with a smile, "Thank you, Madam Wanpin. Your Majesty, rest assured that I will take good care of the emperor."

After Xiao Xia Zi left, Zhen Huan did not enter the palace for a long time. Instead, she stared blankly at the door with disappointment in her eyes.

Jin Xi supported her and said, "My lady, it's late at night. Let's go in. Since the emperor is not coming, let's go to bed early."

Zhen Huan said nothing and was silently helped into the hall by Jin Xi. Unlike the joyful way she left the hall just now, the hall was unusually quiet this time. Even the usually cautious Liu Zhu no longer had the energy to make Zhen Huan laugh when she was in a bad mood.

Being served and lying on the bed, Zhen Huan stared blankly at the ceiling. Even though she was very tired, she just couldn't fall asleep for some reason.

My mind is in a mess and I have no idea what is going on.

She didn't know why she had become like this. She used to be favored by the emperor, but now it was difficult for her to see the emperor.

Zhen Huan hoped that the emperor would have time to visit her, but she was destined to be disappointed. Now it was near the end of the year, and the emperor was busy with state affairs. Every day he was either dealing with memorials or on the way to summon ministers to discuss matters. He was exhausted. How could he possibly think of Zhen Huan at this time?

Finally, the emperor finished dealing with all the affairs a few days before New Year's Eve. Now, he was in the mood to enter the harem.

The emperor first went to the high-ranking concubines, and on the first day after entering the harem he went to Concubine Qi. After all, Concubine Qi was the mother of his eldest son, and he would give her this face.

However, Concubine Qi is now old and is no longer as fresh and youthful as the young concubines. She no longer serves the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber. Every time the emperor went to Concubine Qi's place, he would sleep with her under the quilt.

The next day, she went to Concubine Jing again. Ever since the Queen was imprisoned and Concubine Nian lost her power, Concubine Jing was in charge of all the affairs in the harem. Of course, it was not just herself, but also Yi Xin. After Yi Xin finished her confinement, she was promoted to the position of Concubine and was given the right to manage the harem by the Emperor.

The harem is now managed by Yi Xin and Concubine Jing.

After resting for a night at Concubine Jing's place, he came to Yi Xin.

Yi Xin was not very happy about this. After all, she didn't like the emperor. The emperor was already in his fifties and she was just in her early twenties. How could she possibly like an old man?

Even though he was the emperor and had the power to rule the world, she had no interest in him.

In fact, she didn't care about the emperor's favor. In her opinion, it made little difference whether he had it or not. Now that she was a concubine, she had children and power, and no one dared to treat her harshly.

Moreover, she had a lot of silver bills in her hands, so she could still live a comfortable life without the emperor's favor.

Moreover, the emperor is not a gentleman. Those who are familiar with the original plot know that the emperor has done many disgusting things.

As long as you treat him with false affection, who can't pretend?

At dinner time, the emperor came to the Yanx Palace.

Yi Xin stood outside the palace, and when the emperor came closer, Yi Xin squatted down and saluted him.

The emperor raised his hand and said calmly, "Get up."

After saying that, he passed Yi Xin and entered the hall and sat down at the table. Yi Xin was helped up by Qingyu behind him and followed him.

After the two of them had dinner, the emperor took the handkerchief handed to him by the palace maid, wiped his mouth, and threw it on the plate.

"Where's Hongyao? Bring him here for me to see. I've been dealing with things lately and haven't seen him for a long time."

Yi Xin placed a cup of tea in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the nurse called back before dinner and said that Hongyao has fallen asleep. How about you wait until tomorrow to see him?"

Yi Xin just wanted to roll her eyes. It was winter now and Hongyao was only a few months old. She couldn't let someone carry such a small child to her. What if he got sick? If she wanted to see Hongyao, she had to go to the east hall by herself.

The emperor seemed to have heard what Yi Xin was thinking. He stood up and said, "I'll go to the side hall to take a look."

After the emperor left, Yi Xin rested for a while, then changed her clothes and prepared to go to bed. Yi Xin sat in front of the dressing table and took good care of her skin.

Just after the maintenance, the emperor came in. She couldn't just stand there and watch, so she helped the emperor take off his clothes, leaving only a bright yellow undergarment.

The emperor then said, "I just went to see Hongyao. He was sleeping soundly. I haven't seen him for a while. He looks a lot fatter. I heard from the people who take care of him that Hongyao has never been sick since he was born. You are so thoughtful."

Yi Xin put his clothes on a rack not far away and replied, "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me by saying this. Hongyao is my own son, and taking care of him is what I, as his mother, should do."

The emperor took Yi Xin's hand and patted it with satisfaction.

Suddenly, the emperor smelled a very pleasant fragrance, and he could not help but ask, "What kind of incense do you have in this palace?"
