The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 187: Tender Comfort, Finally Out of Confinement

The emperor looked at the fair and tender baby in his arms, feeling the heavy touch of the baby in his hands, and completely eliminated the grief he had just felt over Shen Meizhuang's miscarriage.

"Our little six will definitely be the best barutu in the Qing Dynasty in the future. He is so strong and powerful at such a young age. This is all thanks to you, Xier."

The emperor looked at Fucha Zhixi tenderly and spoke.

"Your Majesty, how can this be the credit of this concubine alone?"

Before Fu Cha Zhixi finished speaking, the emperor smiled and took over the conversation.

"Yes, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to give birth to Xiaoliu."

There was a strong ambiguity in the emperor's tone, which made people feel a little embarrassed.

Of course Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but roll his eyes wildly in his heart.

Please, you were just feeling sad about losing your child, and now you’re flirting with other people?

Fucha Zhixi really couldn't understand Yinzhen's thought process, and didn't really want to figure it out.

Fu Cha Zhixi glanced at the emperor coquettishly.

"Xiao Liu is still here, the emperor is talking nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Have a good rest. I'll come to see you in the evening."

The emperor saw that it was almost time and today's government affairs had not yet been dealt with. Although he was very attached to the feeling of having his darling wife and young son in his arms, state affairs were more important and could not be delayed.

On the first day after the confinement period ended, Aunt Fangqiu had prepared a lot of things early, waiting for Fu Cha Zhixi to have a good bath today.

After all, even in the cool and pleasant Yuanmingyuan, it is still inevitably a little hot during this period. Plus, you can't use an ice basin during confinement, so you can only use a wind wheel to blow out some cool air.

The emperor looked at Fu Cha Zhixi's pitiful appearance and his heart softened. He sent all his remaining wind wheels to Wufutang and only kept one for himself.

But even so, Fu Cha Zhixi, who had been lying in bed for almost a month, still felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although at her strong request, he still wiped his body with hot water every day, but it was not a real bath after all, so she always felt a smell on her body, which made her feel uncomfortable.

However, these days of confinement were not without any benefits. She learned from her mother how to raise a child, and also talked about interesting things in her childhood. With her mother's company and Lingrong's frequent visits, these days of confinement were not too boring.

At the same time, Aunt Fangqiu and Suqin also did a great job in her postpartum recovery. After a massage and medicated diet, she not only lost the fat on her waist after the confinement period, but her complexion was also very good. She looked particularly charming in the emerald green Manchu dress.

And she could feel that although she did not breastfeed herself, some parts of her body were indeed bigger. Even when she wore a loose cheongsam, she could still see some hazy curves.

It is true that using beauty to seduce others is not a good thing, but this beauty is also indispensable in the harem. After all, no matter how well-educated and well-mannered you are, if you look too ordinary, you may not even pass the palace selection.

Even if she entered the palace because of her family background, she would only get a high position, but would not be favored.

On the day she left confinement, Fucha Zhixi finally stepped out of her bedroom, breathed in the fresh air outside, and felt like she had lost several pounds.

Seeing that her little daughter was still as childish as before in her boudoir, Lady Fucha realized that the emperor treated her little Yueyue very well.

Of course, when she entered the palace these days, she saw the emperor's preference for Xiao Yueliang. No matter whether it was because of their Fucha family or because of her daughter herself, as long as the emperor could be good to her daughter, she would be satisfied.

Now that her little Yueyue has become a mother, she will have some security in this palace in the future.

For the sake of the Fucha family and the prince, even if Fucha Zhixi made any mistakes, the emperor would probably be tolerant of her.

Fu Cha Zhixi walked briskly back to the palace and directed the servants to open all the windows of the bedroom. He also asked Su Qin to find out her favorite zither.

She wanted to go to the pavilion in the center of the lake and do something pretentious like burning incense and playing the piano.

Mrs. Fucha looked at her daughter's back and couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head.

"Your Highness, you didn't forget that the Emperor will be here soon, did you?"

Suqin looked at Fucha Zhixi helplessly and spoke.

"Oh, I really forgot. Luckily you reminded me."

Fu Cha Zhixi then remembered that when the emperor came to see her yesterday, he did say that he would come to see her early this morning and also said that he had prepared a gift for her.

"The emperor is coming, so let's not go to the center of the lake. Let's set up a shed in this yard. I feel like playing the piano today. Suqin, go get someone to prepare it."

Fu Cha Zhixi suddenly remembered that when she watched TV series before, she remembered that there was a pergola in Zhen Huan's Bitong Academy. When she saw it at that time, she thought it would be comfortable and cool to sit there.

"Okay, okay, my dear queen, just sit down for a while. I'll go find someone to give you a ride."

Suqin rarely saw her queen looking so unstable, and she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

"My lady, I have made tea for you. It is your favorite Biluochun tea."

"The snacks are also ready for you. They are the Poria cocos and Job's tears cakes and peach blossom cakes that you have always wanted to eat."

Yu Hu also came over with tea and said to Fu Cha Zhixi with a smile.

"This is great. I don't know how long I have wanted to sit outside like this, enjoy the breeze and drink tea. Now I finally get what I wanted."

Fu Cha Zhixi sat on the stone bench in the yard, took a sip of tea, and spoke with emotion.

"As long as your Majesty likes it."

Yuhu saw Fucha Zhixi speaking with some amusement.

"Why are you still drinking tea? Today is your lucky day, why don't you change into your wedding attire?"

The emperor walked into the courtyard with his sword and golden horse, and saw his beloved concubine drinking tea leisurely. He asked in confusion.

"Greetings to the Emperor."

When Fu Cha Zhixi saw the emperor coming, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Get up quickly."

The emperor pulled Fucha Zhixi up with both hands.

"Why don't you change your clothes?"

The emperor asked while sitting on a stone bench.

"Your Majesty, it's still early. I haven't been out for a long time, so I want to have some tea first and change my clothes when it's almost time."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the emperor and spoke in a coquettish tone.

She had no idea that the Emperor would come so early, and she was caught red-handed by the Emperor.

"You, I don't know your personality. You hate those red tapes the most."
