The baby-making system is unreliable

Hua Yuelian stood there quietly, listening to his words silently, with a complex emotion in her heart. She had never thought that he had such deep resentment and pain hidden deep in his heart.

Suddenly, Hua Chenyi lowered his head, gently kissed her lips, and then gradually deepened the kiss, as if he wanted to devour her.

Her mind was blank, she could only feel his breath and temperature, as well as his strong desire. She tried to push him away, but he held her tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.

"You... don't go too far! I am Zhao Lin's wife, the widow of the late emperor. How dare you be rude to me! You are simply outrageous, a beast!!"

Hua Yue Lian finally got the chance and angrily slapped him in the face. She was so angry that her body trembled uncontrollably. She quickly distanced herself from him.

She had never thought that this man was so bold as to treat her like this in the palace?! She widened her eyes and took a few steps back, staring into his eyes.

"The late emperor has passed away, and you and your daughter are in an awkward position in the palace. Oh, don't you know? Looking at the entire palace, who takes you and your daughter seriously?! The current Queen Mother is your Majesty's biological mother, and the Queen is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The structure of this palace is no longer the same as before."

A trace of pain flashed across Hua Chenyi's face, but he still looked at his sister with disdain, as if what he stated was nothing but an ironclad fact.

There was no place for her in the entire palace, but her silly sister refused to leave, which brought shame to the Hua family.

"You and your daughter have to rely on the Queen Mother for your living now, and you will have to rely on the little queen for your living in the future. Who still remembers that you were once the owner of the Fengyi Palace?!"

Hua Chenyi's voice was full of madness and anger, as if he had lost his mind. He widened his eyes and stared at Hua Yuelian, his eyes revealing a strong sense of unwillingness and ambition.

"Why don't you lend me a helping hand? We can join forces as brothers and sisters to rule the world together. I can also give you the power and status that Xu Zhaolin can give you. Why do you have to be obsessed with him? He is a dead person, so why should you care about him? He is just a dead person. Why should he care about you?!"

Hua Chenyi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the heart of the person in front of him. He tried to persuade her to let go of the past and pursue higher power and status together.

Hua Yuelian gritted her teeth and roared, "You lunatic, lunatic!! Zhao Lin and I love each other and have been childhood sweethearts. You ask me why I put my heart on him? Don't think so badly of me. I don't want to leave."

That's right, the Queen Mother had told her long ago that she could leave at any time if she wanted to. That was the last imperial decree left by Zhao Lin before he died, the decree to let her go and give her freedom.

Nowadays, neither His Majesty nor the eldest princess has ever treated her, the eldest sister-in-law, badly. They...the brothers and sisters are all very gentle people at heart.

It was she who didn't want to leave. Seeing how much Xu Yimo cherished Yun Xirou, it was like seeing her past self. Her husband had foolishly prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the Bishui Temple for her, just so that she could live in peace forever.

I also collected morning dew for her under the first ray of sunlight, just because she wanted to drink a cup of tea made from morning dew. Even though my clothes were soaked, I never felt any resentment.

She had long been voluntarily "trapped" here, where he was, his blood relatives, and the daughter they gave birth to together.

Hua Chenyi sneered at her and asked in confusion: "Ha, hahaha, he and you are childhood sweethearts, don't forget that Zichang is also your childhood sweetheart, but why didn't you like him!?"

Obviously, that person loved her to death, but didn't she see anything?! She was a little bit concerned about him, but her heart was full of Xu Zhaolin.

"You... I don't know Zichang's... his feelings for me. I, I thought he liked Shuyao. I, I have never done anything inappropriate with him. Please don't slander me."

Hua Yuelian looked at him in front of her, trying to understand his feelings, but she felt that everything had become so strange. She also didn't know when her brother became like this? !

An Zichang was the prince's companion, and was originally the eldest son of Anyuan Marquis's mansion. He was both talented and skilled in martial arts. During those years, he and His Majesty had a very close relationship, and the two of them were like brothers, often traveling together.

Marquis Anyuan himself did not have the same life-and-death friendship with the retired emperor as Hua Qizhong, and he also maintained a neutral attitude when the emperor ascended the throne. He was an old fox who had been in the court for many years.

Later, the Anyuan Marquisate was implicated in the case of the previous emperor's death, and the entire family was exiled to the frontier. An Zichang was doomed to die, but the previous emperor insisted on releasing him before his death.

Xu Yimo ordered him to be expelled from the country and ordered him to never enter the country again. He once said: "If you dare to cross the border, you will be killed."

However, when he was leaving the country, An Zichang disappeared and has not appeared for many years.

"Hahaha, slander?! Very good, how long do you think our consumptive emperor can last?! I think he will die sooner or later, so I don't have to do it myself."

Hua Chenyi's body was trembling slightly, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he was obviously completely controlled by his emotions. In his opinion, Xu Yimo would die sooner or later, and there was no need for him to do anything.

"I heard that the little queen is pregnant. What a happy occasion! Guess whether she can give birth to the child?!"

Yes, he would definitely not let it go easily. If Your Majesty had no heirs, he would have a pretext for usurping the throne and could say without guilt: "Your Majesty has no heirs, but the world cannot be without a ruler for a day."

"You...what do you want to do? You want to attack the child? The child is innocent and has done nothing wrong!!"

Hua Yuelian suddenly understood something, and her heart seemed to be tightly choking her. She pointed at him and asked, "You were the one who assassinated last time?!"

However, Hua Chenyi did not speak, but just stood quietly in front of her, his eyes calmly and furiously said: "It's you! It's you, you are the one who wants to do it?!"

"You want me to help you?! No way, I don't want to go on like this anymore. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, I don't want to!!"

Hua Yuelian said softly, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness and fatigue, as if she was no longer able to participate in any fight.

"I'm tired of your fighting and intrigues, and I don't want to get involved in it anymore. Besides, I don't want to be someone who lives only for power."

Hua Chenyi frowned, not understanding why his sister was so persistent, and looked at her as if she were a fool.

"Are you willing to be trampled underfoot for the rest of your life? You were once the master of this harem, with supreme glory and status. Why do you want to give up everything now?"

Hua Jinrong shook her head gently, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Her mind was in a mess. She was really tired of hiding the secret.

"Because I understand that power can't bring me what I want. I've lost the people who love me, and I don't want to continue chasing those illusory things. I just want to live a peaceful life, away from these disputes."

Now, she just wants to stay with her daughter and watch her grow up. This ordinary life is enough.

His Majesty will treat her well, the Queen Mother will treat her well, the Queen and the eldest princess will treat her and her daughter well, there is no need for her to fight for anything.

"For the sake of you being my brother, as long as you sincerely change your ways and treat my younger brother well, I will keep this secret to myself forever. Don't... don't show up in front of me again."

Hua Yuelian stood there quietly, looking at him with a firm and calm gaze, her fists clenched so tightly that blood oozed out and was hidden in her sleeves.

"Okay, very good. You'd better shut up, otherwise you know the consequences!! If not for me, your brother, you should also think about your brother."

Hua Chenyi was silent for a moment, still unwilling in his heart, so he turned around and left. Since she had made up her mind, no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

"I hope you can stop here and not bring the Hua family into hell with you!! Oh, do you really think that His Majesty and the Princess are completely unaware of what you have done?!"

Hua Yue Lian looked at her brother's departing back, feeling relieved in her heart, with a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"You underestimated them too much. They just saved face for their father. Otherwise, why would they only blame Zichang? It's not like they really didn't expect you to do something?!"

Muttering to herself in the void, looking at the chaotic place in front of her, Hua Yuelian's eyes seemed to have lost their luster, and there was no target to focus on.

Temporary tolerance is for the sake of my father's face, but it does not mean permanent indulgence! !

……

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the rich families decorate their terraces and pavilions, while the common people compete to occupy restaurants to enjoy the moon. There is a special kind of excitement to be seen in Qingcheng tonight.

Mid-Autumn Festival is here in the blink of an eye. It is time to offer sacrifices to the Moon God, set up an incense table, worship the Moon Lady, and eat moon cakes, which symbolizes family reunion.

A family banquet was held in the palace, which was attended by a few people from the family. The empress dowager was old, and she stayed for half an hour. She didn't want to restrict the young people, and she got tired after a few words.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to leave the palace with us? Take Lan Zhi with you? I will protect everyone!"

Xu Shuyao took a sip of osmanthus wine, smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, recalled her deceased relatives, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Yun Xirou sipped the sugar water, raised her eyes to look at Xu Shuyao, then looked back at Xu Yimo beside her, her eyes full of inquiry.

Little Watermelon also has to go out. Isn't it said that the fewer people know, the better? Could it be that my sister-in-law also knows about it? If so, why didn't she let Little Watermelon come to the banquet?

Xu Yimo understood the question in her eyes and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, there's something painted on Little Watermelon's face, you'll know it later."

"I won't go. I never like the hustle and bustle outside. You can take Lan Zhi with you! She can't be like me, always staying in the palace and never seeing the bad things outside!?"

There was a strange glint in Hua Yuelian's eyes. She had seen the scenery outside a long time ago, but the person who had seen it with her was no longer there.

So for her, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not fun at all, only long thoughts. But she still hopes that Lan Zhi can go out and see, she is still young and has plenty of time.

Xu Lanzhi nodded obediently and followed behind Xu Shuyao. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He was so sensible that it made people feel a little distressed.

Yun Xirou's physical condition has improved, and the medicine Xu Yimo took has also shown some effect, so he agreed to go out of the palace with her for a tour.

Just like that, Xu Yimo, who had hardly left the palace for more than ten or twenty years, finally stepped out of the palace one day.

Several people drove a carriage with their attendants out of the palace. After less than half a cup of tea, they saw a man waiting on the street holding a baby.

Du Xicong was wearing a long green bamboo gown, and he looked elegant and handsome. His slender figure and elegant temperament attracted many people's attention.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, with a little watermelon in his arms.

There is a red pattern similar to a birthmark on Little Watermelon's face, which makes her look more playful and cute.

He held the mooncake in his small hands and ate it with gusto, making satisfied sounds from his mouth from time to time. His intoxicated look seemed to melt people's hearts.

Seeing this, several people got off the carriage. The street was crowded with people and it was difficult for the carriage to pass. It was more convenient to walk.

"Mom...ah, the princess is so beautiful. Little Watermelon and Daddy have been waiting here for a long time. Daddy said that it's rare for us to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here. If the princess doesn't mind, please take us with you."

Xu Shuyao gently stroked Little Watermelon's head, nodded and said "OK", and said to him in a rare gentle tone: "This is Lan Zhi, um, she is three months older than you, you can just call her little sister."

When the two children met, they looked at each other curiously. Little Watermelon blinked his big eyes, looked at the strange sister in front of him, and shyly hid in his father's arms.

Lan Zhi, on the other hand, was much calmer and more stable. He was not afraid of the birthmark on his face. He took the initiative to step forward and speak to Little Watermelon, saying in a high and cold voice, "Little brother, what's your name?!"

Little Watermelon poked his head out from Du Xiyan's arms, looked at Lan Zhi, and said in a baby voice, "Hello, Sister Lan Zhi, my name is Little Watermelon."

Lan Zhi smiled and nodded. Seeing him coming down from his father's arms, he took the initiative to hold Xiao Xigua's hand.

Du Xiyan and Xu Shuyao smiled at each other, and then the group began to stroll on the bustling streets. They admired the beautiful scenery around them while tasting various delicacies.

Little Watermelon ran around excitedly, full of curiosity about everything, while Lan Zhi followed quietly behind, saying a few words to Little Watermelon from time to time.

Xu Yimo and Yun Xirou held hands, enjoying this rare leisure time. Walking behind them, the street was bustling with activity. Yun Xirou looked around excitedly.

"Look, the two little cuties are holding hands, walking down the street with their tiny backs. Isn't that very interesting?!"

The perfect couple walked hand in hand on the street. Xu Yimo held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the crowd if he let go.
