The ups and downs in the backyard didn't affect Chen Yuwei. She felt that her health had improved enough and it was time to get down to business.
The important thing Chen Yuwei was referring to was to hurry up and have a child with Hongli.
While Hongli is in good health, let's have a few more children, otherwise it will be so boring for him to stay in the palace alone after he enters it.
Having been cooped up in the small, square courtyard all day, Chen Yuwei had experienced it once and never wanted to experience it a second time.
It was already mid-September. If she got pregnant at this time, she could give birth in the same month as Yonghu. That would be great, and it would save her the trouble of celebrating her birthday.
Chen Yuwei was secretly pleased with herself, and she ate the pills as easily as eating candy, crunching them one after another.
After an autumn rain, the weather outside is like a sieve with a hole in the bottom, with raindrops falling continuously.
Chen Yuwei changed her thin cheongsam into a thick vest with fur trim.
It's no wonder Chen Yuwei is being dramatic; the weather this year has been truly baffling.
The weather fluctuated between hot and cold. The adults were fine, but the children in the mansion all had varying degrees of illness.
Yonghu was in good health and his condition was perfect. He only sneezed a few times. Chen Yuwei gave the wet nurse a dose of sweating medicine, and after breastfeeding and sleeping, he was back to normal.
On the other hand, Princess Fucha's son Yonghuang and Princess Fujin's son Yonglian were both incredibly unlucky. Not only did they need to drink bitter medicine to cure their illnesses, but they also cried and made a scene at night, disturbing everyone's peace.
Therefore, Hongli, feeling the compassion of a loving father, specially invited the imperial physicians from the palace to examine and treat his illness.
But Hongli himself couldn't stand it after two days, so he turned around and came to Chen Yuwei's place to enjoy himself.
Chen Yuwei: What kind of mess is this? His son is sick, and he runs off to play with his concubine. No wonder Princess Fucha and the Fujin died so young. Who could not be angry with such a heartless man?
Chen Yuwei shook her head inwardly, but her body language betrayed her intentions even more readily than Hongli's.
That means we're here to cause trouble together.
Pulling Hongli onto the bed, she unleashed all her martial arts skills, the two of them shamelessly huddled together as if they wanted to be naked.
Chen Yuwei, being an experienced and unafraid driver, is like Hongli, who is purely lustful and whose mind is filled with nothing but lewd nonsense, except for a tiny bit of official business.
The two hit it off immediately, completely disregarding the life-or-death struggle between the main courtyard and the green bamboo courtyard.
The main wife of the emperor and Princess Fucha of the Qingzhu Courtyard: ...
The Fujin was mentally prepared and had a pretty good grasp of Hongli's thoughts. After hearing Dongxue's reply, she canceled her daily greetings and devoted herself entirely to taking care of Yonglian and caring for Hayihu.
Meanwhile, Princess Fucha of Qingzhu Courtyard, while holding Yonghuang, harbored resentment towards Chen Yuwei, who had come close to Hongli.
Fucha Xuanru believed that Chen Yuwei was a vixen who deliberately seduced the prince into neglecting his duties at times like this, otherwise how could her son not see his father?
"It's all Chen's fault. She's so arrogant just because she gave birth to one son. Humph! Let her keep having more if she dares."
After Fucha Xuanru finished speaking angrily, she woke up Yonghuang, who had been finally coaxed to sleep in her arms.
Fan Shuang, utterly speechless: ...Help!
Yonghuang was born in the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, and is now only a little over six years old. He is spoiled by Empress Fucha Xuanru, even more so than the Fujin (the wife of the emperor) spoiled Yonglian.
Now things are really bad. Yonghuang's incessant crying and fussing have left Fucha Xuanru exhausted and her health, which had just started to improve, has deteriorated rapidly.
After Yonghuang recovered, Fucha Xuanru fell ill and needed to rest in bed. The mother and son were like a relay race, sharing both happiness and hardship.
Ruyi Residence
Chen Yuwei lay on the tatami mat, with two warm charcoal braziers at her feet.
There was no way around it; a few days ago, a snowfall not only dressed the mansion in white but also lowered the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
Chen Yuwei is naturally afraid of the cold. This body has always lived in Jiangnan, where even the winters are not as cold as those in the north.
Therefore, ever since Chen Yuwei entered the mansion, she has always been bundled up tightly every autumn and winter, and she doesn't spare any effort in this regard.
Fortunately, Hongli liked her and didn't take Chen Yuwei's little quirks to heart. Occasionally, he would ask Wu Shulai to send over more clothes, fabrics, and animal furs that could be worn in winter.
Nowadays, Ruyi Residence is truly a prestigious place among mansions. Whether it's the palace servants or the people from the Imperial Household Department, they all like to come here whenever they have time. After all, it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a good deal.
“Princess Fucha’s health is not good. Her son, Prince Yonghuang, is still young. What will happen to him if something really happens to him?”
Living in the imperial harem must be incredibly difficult, if not extremely so.
Moreover, Hongli was a very pragmatic person. He didn't care about his son at all before he grew up. If his son didn't have his mother's help, he would just be a nobody and a pitiful child.
Xia He brought over a bowl of steaming soup and placed it beside her mistress. "If Princess Fucha can endure it, it will be fine when Prince Yonghuang grows up. But if Princess Fucha can't endure it, then Prince Yonghuang will eventually be taken advantage of by someone else."
Although adopted children are not as good as biological children, what can you do when there are many people in the backyard who don't have children?
Having a child by your side, whether for the sake of having a child or simply to alleviate loneliness, is much better than being alone.
Chen Yuwei nodded in agreement, "That makes sense, but I don't know if Princess Fucha understands it herself."
However, regardless of whether she understood or not, Fucha Xuanru's frail body couldn't hold on for long.
Chen Yuwei had met this Princess Fucha during her daily greetings.
