I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 283: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 29

Finally, Zhang Xiao went to find Yinsi, and after informing him, Zhang Xiao entered the room.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and were speechless for a while.

Zhang Xiao looked at Yinsi who was sitting behind the desk and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. Yinsi was the first to speak: "Sit down. My legs are not convenient. If you need anything, call someone."

Zhang Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, as they were obviously very close before. Of course, she didn't just stand there stupidly, but sat on a chair not far from Yinsi.

Zhang Xiao sat for a while, then relaxed and asked with concern: "How are your legs?"

Yinsi shook his head: "I'm fine, much better than before."

Zhang Xiao: "I'm sorry, I haven't been seeing you because I haven't been feeling well recently. Where's Fu Jin? Didn't Fu Jin come to take care of you?"

It was okay for her, as she thought it was just a substitute, and she was a person who could not control her temper, so she did not want to see Yinsi. But it was not the same for Fu Jin. Fu Jin was Yinsi's Fu Jin. She had no time to take care of her husband when he was injured, but instead had time to cause trouble for her.

Yinsi was quite considerate: "Minghui is very busy. After all, she has to manage such a large government. Besides, I have a lot of people around me, so it's okay without her."

Of course, he only talked about Minghui and said nothing about her feeling unwell. Although he couldn't walk now, he still knew some of the things that happened in the mansion.

He heard that the two sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi no longer spoke to each other and didn't see each other anymore. He knew that Ruolan had always loved her sister Ruoxi very much, and he also knew Ruoxi's character and that she was a person who spoke without restraint. If what Ruoxi said hadn't really hurt Ruolan's heart, she wouldn't have been so angry this time.

What Ruolan and Zhang Xiao said at the beginning was not spread out, because everyone present was Ruolan's people. Ruolan hated Zhang Xiao who occupied her sister's body, but if it was told out, it would be fine if people didn't believe it. If people believed it, she was afraid that Zhang Xiao would be taken away and Ruoxi's body would be destroyed. She couldn't bear to do that, so she decided to keep it secret and let no one know.

Therefore, only a few people know that Zhang Xiao is not Ruoxi’s business. Minghui doesn’t know, and Yinsi won’t know either.

Yinsi was very confident that no one would know that she used Zhang Xiao as a substitute, so he thought it was a private matter between the two sisters.

It is true that Ruolan is someone he has liked for many years, but he does not like her as much as he thinks. He is just obsessed with not getting her heart. Naturally, he will not blame Ruoxi for Ruolan.

It has to be said that in some aspects Yinsi and Zhang Xiao are the same people and have similar ideas.

Ever since Yinsi's legs became disabled, Minghui would pretend to visit him when the late emperor was still alive. His brothers would also visit him from time to time to show the late emperor their concern for them.

But since the fourth prince Yinzhen came to power, no one came to do these superficial work, only the ninth and tenth princes would come occasionally.

Yinzhen didn't like his two brothers, the ninth and tenth brothers, very much. After all, they caused him a lot of trouble, but these troubles were not serious, just annoying.

Seeing that the Ninth and Tenth Princes were so idle, he, as the emperor, had endless things to deal with every day, so he was naturally unhappy. So he assigned a lot of troublesome tasks to these two people and asked them to do them. If they did not do well, they would be severely punished.

The ninth and tenth sons did not dare to contradict Yinzhen and could only do their jobs obediently. Few of the late emperor's sons were stupid, and these two were not stupid, so they did things naturally in an orderly manner and could not be faulted.

Yu Ludai also heard about this. Since the ninth and tenth princes are capable, the other princes cannot sit back and relax.

So after Yinzhen completely took control of the court, Yu Ludai took action and let Yinzhen taste the sweetness of dispersing things so that he didn't have to do everything himself.

Another thing is to let him know that he is the emperor now, and he has already secured the position, and that he has succeeded to the throne legitimately. Without these hesitations, he will think of the eldest and second in command who are still imprisoned.

After careful consideration, Yinzhen released Yinzhi and Yinreng and restored their titles of Prince Zhi and Prince Li.

These two men had never thought that there would be a day when they would be released, but now that the fourth brother had ascended the throne, they had accepted their fate and had no resentment in their hearts, so they just did their job honestly when they were released.

In the minds of both of them, as long as the other does not ascend to the throne, they don’t care.

Yinzhen was quite satisfied when he saw that the two men had no intention of disobeying. He also had no intention of tripping them up. Yinzhi was good at martial arts, so Yinzhen let him and the fourteenth prince be together, intending to let the two of them fight and quell the rebellion. Yinreng was raised by the late emperor since he was a child, so he was adept at handling court affairs.

Yinzhen was a very unruly emperor. Not only was he unruly himself, he also led the people below him to be unruly as well. With their unruly efforts, the entire court operated with high efficiency.

Everyone is busy, so who has time to visit Yinsi, a disabled man who does nothing all day long.

Although Yinsi had many people around him, in his heart, they were servants and slaves, which were very different from his relatives.

With nothing to do day after day and no familiar, close people to accompany him, Yinsi also tasted the loneliness and solitude.

Ruoxi finally came to see him, so he naturally wouldn't let her get angry and leave. For him now, it was very important to have someone familiar around him.

And Zhang Xiao didn't mention why he used her as a substitute. It didn't matter anymore.

So after this meeting, Ruoxi would often come to see Yinsi and the two would talk, but the relationship between the two had changed and they could no longer return to their previous intimacy.

Since Yu Ludai became the queen, Yinzhen has always trusted her very much, so the harem is managed by her as the queen.

She has experienced many worlds and has become accustomed to these housekeepers. She is very skilled in managing the harem. To her, managing the harem is just like managing a larger courtyard, which is not troublesome at all.

Yinzhen was not very interested in women. When he was a prince, he seldom went to the backyard often. Now that he was the emperor, most of his attention was devoted to handling state affairs. Sometimes he would not enter the harem for several months.

Yu Ludai was very strict in her management. She would never let her servants do anything to bully their masters, so each master's share would not be less. Moreover, almost every concubine in the harem had children, so they were not lonely.

With a child, the allowance was enough, and the emperor didn't come often. Gradually, the concubines no longer thought about Yinzhen, and it didn't matter whether he came or not.

Therefore, the concubines all started to live a retirement life in advance.
