I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 256: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 02

This health-enhancing pill is mild in nature and will not cause any problems for children after taking it.

Yu Ludai moved very quickly. The fitness pills were very small and melted in the mouth, so no one else in the room noticed what Yu Ludai did.

Yu Ludai played with Honghui for a while, and Honghui felt a little sleepy.

Honghui is still young and spends a lot of time sleeping. When she sees that he has fallen asleep, she hands him over to the wet nurse and then Yu Ludai does her own thing.

She stayed in confinement for a month, and there was no concubine in the mansion, so all the affairs in the backyard were left to Nanny Cheng.

Yu Ludai flipped through the account book and found nothing wrong.

She was still confident in what Nanny Cheng was doing.

After that, Yu Ludai had nothing to do, so she started to embroider a bellyband for Honghui. It was easy for her to be immersed in her work and not pay attention to what was happening around her. It was only after Nanny Cheng reminded her that Yu Ludai stopped.

"Fujin, the prince is coming over tonight. Do you think we should prepare anything?"

Yu Ludai: "I remember that Prince Beile likes to drink old duck soup, so I just need to prepare a few dishes that Prince Beile likes."

When she first came to this world, she first received the memories of the original owner. As for Yinzhen, she thought about it and decided to treat him the same way the original owner treated him.

She cares about what she should care about, but she doesn't care who he likes.

She knew that he would fall in love with Ruoxi later, but that had nothing to do with her. It was enough for her as long as she did what a legitimate wife should do.

Yinzhen was a man who attached great importance to rules. She was his first wife, and he would not divorce her to make way for someone else.

Even if he really lost his mind one day, she had many ways to prevent him from doing so.

Soon it was time for dinner.

Yinzhen put one hand behind his back and walked in with Su Peisheng with a serious face.

Yu Ludai squatted down slightly: "My Lord Beile."

"Get up." Yinzhen helped Yu Ludai up. He looked around and asked, "Where's Honghui?"

Yu Ludai smiled gently and said, "My Lord, Honghui has just fallen asleep and has been taken away by the wet nurse."

Yinzhen nodded and said nothing more, but sat down at the table.

Yu Ludai waved his hand and asked the servants to serve the dishes.

When eating, Yinzhen insisted on not talking while eating or sleeping, so no one spoke at the table except the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

After the meal, Yinzhen started talking about the matter.

"Fujin, the Emperor asked me to go out of town to inspect river works. I will be away from home for a while. All matters in the home will be handed over to you."

Yu Ludai said, "Don't worry, Lord Beile, I will take care of the affairs in the mansion."

"Ah."

Yinzhen didn't say anything more. He was still confident in Fu Jin's work. Fu Jin had never made any mistakes in managing the backyard over the years and was his good wife.

Yinzhen did not leave that night, but stayed at her place. Of course, nothing happened between them. Although she had finished her confinement, her body had not fully recovered, and Yinzhen also knew her physical condition.

Yu Ludai treated her subordinates leniently, so the princesses in the mansion only had to pay their respects to her in the main courtyard on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

On the first day of the new year, all the princesses in the mansion arrived at the main courtyard.

Yu Ludai sat on the top and looked at the princesses below. Yinzhen was not interested in women, so the princesses in the backyard were all appointed by the emperor or Concubine De.

Both Song Gege and Li Gege arrived at the palace before Yu Ludai. They were the princesses assigned by the emperor to teach Yinzhen about human affairs.

Before this, Song Gege had given birth to two children, both of whom were princesses. However, these two little princesses had poor health and died not long after being raised.

After that, Li Gege gave birth to a daughter who became the eldest princess in the mansion.

Li Gege was a good fertile girl. After giving birth to the eldest princess, she gave birth to a prince named Hongyan. However, this prince died at the age of three.

Now that Li Gege is pregnant again, Yu Ludai thinks that this baby should be Hongyun.

The next one is Princess Wu. There are only these three princesses in the mansion.

Of course, there were also a few concubines without official status kept in the backyard, and they could not come to the main courtyard to pay their respects to her without official status.

As for the historical Princess Niuhulu, Hongli's biological mother, she has not yet entered the palace.

Yu Ludai said, "The prince is out on business today, and it will probably take some time for him to come back. During the time when the prince is away, you should each take care of your own courtyard. If there is anything, just tell me."

Several princesses bowed respectfully: "Yes, Fu Jin."

Since losing her two children, Song Gege has been heartbroken and gradually became silent. She no longer cares about the prince's favor.

She would stay in her own yard all day, either in a trance or chanting scriptures.

Before she lost her son, she would take the initiative to say a few words when paying respects or in the backyard, but now she would not speak unless asked.

Yu Ludai sighed in her heart and could only ask someone to take good care of her.

She did not love Yinzhen, nor did she feel jealous or have any other emotions towards the princesses in the backyard. She would not make things difficult for them and would just keep them well-fed and well-drinked.

Of course, she is not a saint. She will not let go of anyone who provokes her, but why should she make things difficult for those who have no grudge against her?

Song Gege has always been respectful to her wife, and she doesn't mind taking care of her.

And Li Gege, Yu Ludai said: "Li Gege, how is your health, what does the doctor say?"

Li Gege's face was a little pale: "Replying to the wife, the doctor said that the condition of my pregnancy is not very good, and it may be premature."

Yu Ludai frowned: "Why is the pregnancy not good?"

Wu Gege glanced at Li Gege and said at the right time: "My wife, Li Gege's son, Prince Hongyan, just died young. Li Gege was very sad, so this pregnancy was unstable."

Yu Ludai comforted her, "Gege Li, you have to be more open-minded. Prince Hongyu is a good boy. He definitely doesn't want his mother to be sad for him all the time."

Li Gege nodded. Her eyes became red when she thought of Hongyan. She wiped her tears and said with a sob, "Thank you, Madam. I understand."

"Gege Li, you don't need to come to the main courtyard to pay respects in the months before you give birth. You should stay in the courtyard and take good care of your pregnancy, and work hard to give birth to a healthy prince for the prince."

After that, Yu Ludai said a few more words before asking the princesses to leave.

Yu Ludai returned to the inner room and tapped her fingers on the table, thinking. It was still too early for her to come into this world. After taking her fitness pills, Honghui would definitely grow up healthy and would not get sick.

Even if someone wants to harm him, they cannot succeed because the fitness pills can make him immune to all poisons.

As for the culprit who harmed Honghui, she was not in a hurry. After all, it was still early for that day, and she could observe who was most likely to harm Honghui in the next few years.

It is important to be clear about this.

The heroine of this world, Ruoxi, also known as Zhang Xiao, has not come here yet.
