Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Mei Jiang'er also hurriedly agreed, "That's right. When the former princess was here, our sister Li Fei was the one who ran the palace and never complained. As for serving the emperor, everyone saw it and everyone had a share of the arrangement. Now, she has moved directly into the prince's Xuanji Courtyard, and the prince has even closed the door so that no one can see her. Forget about competing for favors. Now the prince doesn't even leave the door, so no one can compete for her."

Li Yingying got angry when she heard this and said, "It was your bad idea that backfired. Not only did it make the prince wary of us, but it also made me lose the last bit of sympathy and respect in his heart. Your bad idea made the prince no longer have any love or respect for me."

At this point, Li Yingying started crying.

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

After a long silence, Fu Huan couldn't help but ask, "Should we report this to Duke Li?"

Li Yingying glared at Fu Huan with anger in her eyes and said, "You guys still think this scene isn't chaotic enough, right? You guys still want the prince to hate me to the core, right? If my father intervenes, it won't just be a matter of the inner court, it will also involve the court. Now that Prince Lai Lin is getting more and more powerful, he's always confronting the prince. He's annexing other places, and the prince is in need of people right now. How can I go against the prince at this moment?"

Fu Huan asked cautiously: "Should we still take action?"

Li Yingying was silent for a while and said, "The situation is different now. She has already moved into Xuanji Courtyard and the prince is protecting her everywhere. The best time to take action has already passed. Stop for now. Do not take action again without my order, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Xu Huibao smiled and said, "I heard that the prince cut down all the tall trees around the palace."

Li Yingying sneered and said, "No problem, if you want to send someone to cut down the trees, I can help."

Since Zhou Xinyue moved into Xuanjiyuan, her life has become more comfortable. The courtyard is protected like an iron barrel and her life is very peaceful.

Zhou Xinyue's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it became more difficult for her to get up and walk.

Zhou Xinyue slept much more soundly since the two of them slept on the same couch. This bed was made up of two beds merged together.

Very generous, Kim Wooyoung always kept a distance from her and never crossed the line.

The two people are more like friends sleeping in each other's arms.

At night, whenever Zhou Xinyue vomited and had fits and starts to have seizures, no matter how late it was or how sleepy Jin Yourong was, he would be the first one to get up and take care of her.

Zhou Xinyue often told him that he didn't have to do this, but Jin Yourong never listened to her and just did what he was supposed to do.

Even when changing clothes, Zhou Xinyue vehemently refused his help, but her protest was futile. She was heavy and it was inconvenient for her, so it was Jin Yourong who helped her put on clothes.

Jin Yourong is not a husband but is better than a husband. Sometimes Zhou Xinyue wakes up in the middle of the night and often sees Jin Yourong sleeping beside her in a daze.

She herself didn't know what was wrong with her. The days and nights spent together and the little touches of emotion left Zhou Xinyue at a loss.

She only knew that every time she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, she would feel very at peace when she saw Jin Yurong beside her.

She only knew that whenever she was not feeling well, Jin Yourong was always by her side taking good care of her. This full of love gave Zhou Xinyue a full sense of security.

Whenever her lower limbs became swollen, Kim Woo-young would bring a wooden bucket filled with hot water to soak her feet.

Every time after soaking his feet, Jin Yourong would tell Zhou Xinyue all kinds of news, occasionally mentioning court affairs, and pass the time by massaging her feet.

Every time Zhou Xinyue finishes her foot massage, she feels unprecedented relaxation.

Kim Woo-young's injuries have almost recovered, and Yuan Wei has been treated with the best medicine and the best treatment plan, but many scars are still left.

Tonight, Zhou Xinyue asked Fanxing to prepare her clothes and helped her to take a bath in the hot spring pool in the southeast corner of Xuanjiyuan.

Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju were worried that Fanxing couldn't take care of Zhou Xinyue alone, so they insisted on going too. Zhou Xinyue couldn't persuade them and let them go together.

Just as I passed by the study, I heard Jin Youye's voice inside: "Brother, you always don't reply to Aunt Yan's letters and always avoid her. You can't do this."

Jin Yourong sighed and said, "I have my own plan for this matter, you don't have to worry."

Jin You also said anxiously: "How can I not worry? Brother, you have torn up six letters from Aunt Yan. You either don't reply or say something irrelevant. You want Aunt Yan and my mother to get sick from worrying so much that you will be satisfied, right?"

Jin Yourong didn't say anything, and Jin Youye said anxiously, "The princess' mourning period will be over in a few months. I wonder if you have any reason to refuse. You know, Jin Youyuan is going to get married again. He is about to marry the daughter of the Xilang tribe, the largest branch of the thirty-eight tribes under the Yue tribe on the southwestern border. Our Youjiu has gone to Cangdu as a representative, and Yousheng is also serving at the bedside of the old eighteenth as a representative. The emperor handed in a memorial saying that it was for the good of the old eighteenth, and the queen naturally meant the same thing. It's rare that the emperor and the queen have reached an agreement on this matter. He will be married soon, and he is strengthening his power everywhere, and you, you stay in this courtyard every day, are you going to piss us off to death?"

Jin Yourong sighed and said, "I have my own considerations for the selection of the princess, so you don't have to worry."

"This concerns your future. This concerns every one of us. Do you know that? This matter is not up to you alone."

Jin Yourong stood up and said angrily: "Don't I even have the right to choose my own queen? Does this king have to choose who to be the queen according to your mood?"

Jin Yousheng was sad when he heard this: "Brother, we three brothers have done so many things to support you over the years, and have made so many hardships for our great cause. Especially now that the situation in the court is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us, at this time, you are actually going to hurt our hearts for the sake of a princess selection?"

"There is no need to discuss this matter further."

"Do you know? Yue Yaoyi's father is already 84 years old. He has been the leader of the tribe for too long and is old. He has long been unable to control the 38 tribes under him. Do you know that there are more than 30 troops over there, and the people under them are ready to make a move. Jin Youyuan personally went to the southwest border to ask for the daughter of the Xilang tribe. Do you think that Jin Youyuan has nothing to do because he has eaten too much? Brother, what are you still hesitating about?"

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly left with her servants. Hearing that Jin Youyuan was going to get married again, Zhou Xinyue was now very calm.

Let him marry her. He is a man who is fighting for the throne, so naturally he has all the strategies and tactics. To him, getting married is nothing, it's just adding one more person to feed in the family.

Zhou Xinyue soaked in the pool, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

At the same time, she couldn't help but start to worry about Jin Yurong.
