Chapter 73 Concubine Hui? Concubine Hui!
Liuliu has a completely different temperament from Honghui. In her, Yihua fully experienced what a high-demand baby is.
This child has been crying since he was born, and he would howl whenever something went slightly wrong.
Yihuan observed carefully and found that it was the kind of crying that was just thunder without rain. She would steal glances at you while crying, and if you didn't respond, she would continue to raise her voice.
Yihua, who was in confinement after giving birth, had to endure the evil voice of little girl Liuliu every day. After a few days, she looked even more haggard.
Even Mrs. Ulanara, who likes girls, had to say: "This little princess of ours is not someone you can easily mess with. Look at her powerful voice."
"You are not in good health now, and she has a wet nurse and maids to take care of her. Why don't you two separate for a few days and don't let this girl bother you like this." Yihuan treats them equally. She takes care of Liuliu now just like she took care of Honghui when he was a child.
These days, Yihuan placed the little girl within her sight during the day so that she could feel at ease watching her. At night, the wet nurse would watch over her while she slept.
Yihuan had not personally experienced whether this girl made trouble at night, but she was really troubled during the day. She would cry loudly every less than half an hour, and would only gradually stop when someone held her and rocked her to coax her. At the end of the day, the two wet nurses were exhausted from taking turns.
Upon seeing this, Yihuan gave each of the two wet nurses a reward of one hundred taels of silver and assigned them a few more servants to serve them. The wet nurses were naturally grateful and behaved well in front of Yihuan.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Yihuan still remembers a saying in her previous life that children should not be held in arms. If they are used to being held, they will not play by themselves and must be held by you.
So Yihuan and the wet nurse suggested to train Liuliu to play and sleep by himself, but unfortunately it had little effect.
Although it was the order of their biological mother, the wet nurses did not dare to let the little master cry for too long, and always compromised and held her in their arms. After so many times, she developed the habit of crying.
When Yinzhen walked in, Yihuan was staring at Liuliu. The mother and daughter seemed to be at loggerheads, which was very funny.
"What's wrong? Liuliu is bothering you again." Yinzhen warmed his hands by the stove for a while. After warming them up, he pinched Liuliu's armpits with both hands and picked her up, shaking her up and down. He was satisfied to hear the little girl's silver bell-like laughter.
The little girl has two faces in front of her father. At this moment, she is well-behaved, looking at you with her big watery eyes, which can make people's hearts melt. Yinzhen speaks to Liuliu in a voice she has never heard before.
"Liuliu, do you miss your father?" Yinzhen pinched the last syllable of the word and drew out the tone, which made Yihuan feel a chill.
The little girl giggled very nicely, and Yinzhen laughed along with her. Neither the father nor the daughter knew what they were laughing at, but they actually laughed at each other for half a day.
After all, Liuliu was young, and soon fell asleep in Yinzhen's arms. At Yinzhen's signal, the wet nurse took the child away to rest.
Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief: "This demon star is only quiet when it falls asleep."
Yinzhen expressed his disapproval: "You can't say this in front of Liuliu. Although she is young, she understands it in her heart."
She knows shit!
Yihuan really wanted to swear. She was really being driven crazy by the child. There was a reason for her postpartum depression.
Yinzhen saw that Yihuan looked unhappy, and immediately comforted her, "It's very hard for Fu Jin to not only manage the household affairs but also take care of the children every day."
"It's only a few days until the end of the confinement period. The weather is getting warmer. When I take a day off, I'll take you out for a walk, okay? Just the two of us, without the kids."
When Yihuan heard this, she immediately became concerned: "Are you serious, Master?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Yinzhen said with a smile, "But if you don't do well during the confinement period, then cancel it." Yihua's eyes were a little evasive when she heard this. It was just that she couldn't stand the look these days and wiped her body. She wanted to wash her hair tomorrow. Where did Yinzhen hear this from? There was a little "traitor" around her.
"You've gone to your mother's house, and now there's no one in the main courtyard to control you." Yinzhen thought Yihuan's guilty look was cute, but his words were cruel, "If I knew that I didn't take good care of you during the last period of time, then all my words would be counted."
"I know." Yihuan rolled her eyes secretly. If she didn't wash, even that little bitch Liuliu would hide from her.

After dinner, the couple talked at bedside.
"Fujin, a small incident happened in the palace today. You just need to keep it in mind." The bed curtains were lowered, separating the two people into a space where they could whisper without restraint and do all the most intimate things in the world.
Yihuan was lying on the bed, still doubting her life. She even felt that she smelled bad. How could Yinzhen, an invisible mysophobia patient, endure it and still hold her in his arms while sleeping every day?
"Master, what's the matter?" Yihuan was distracted, otherwise she would always want to pull her hair.
Yinzhen really didn't feel that there was any strong smell. At most, he had a milky scent and a slightly fishy odor, but it wasn't bad.
Even though you are in confinement, you can't really not wash at all, but it's not as thorough as a bath.
"Concubine Hui was disrespectful in front of the emperor and contradicted the Empress Dowager. The Emperor immediately issued an order to demote her to Concubine Hui. Although she was still allowed to live in the Yanxi Palace, all the things and palaces that a concubine could use were confiscated."
Yihuan was so shocked when she heard this that she sat up, and all her sleepiness disappeared: "Is this a small matter?"
Yinzhen lay on his side, propped up his head, and nodded at Yihuan's lively look: "She murdered Empress Xiaochengren, attacked the Crown Princess's child, and then extended her claws to our house. All these things led to her being demoted in the end. Isn't it a small matter for her?"
Ouch! Yihua was terrified when she heard this. Her first reaction was to stick her head out, but she found that everything inside and outside the house was quiet. She then shrank back and asked, "Are you sure it's her?"
Yinzhen nodded: "Let's not talk about the rest. The incident with Empress Xiaochengren was not an injustice to her."
"Anyway, you won't be entering the palace anytime soon, so just listen to what's going on in the palace and keep yourself informed. The queen will take care of everything."
At this time, Concubine De was also talking about this with Madam Lu, using a tone of watching a joke: "This person must do good deeds. No matter how well she hides her deeds, the truth will eventually come out. But our emperor is sentimental. She has committed such a serious crime, but she is only demoted."
Madam Lu massaged Concubine De's legs: "Concubine Hui, please think about it. No, Concubine Hui, what does Concubine Hui care about the most?"
"Prince Zhi."
"Yes, because of the Prince of Zhi, Huipin has always regarded herself as the leader of the four concubines. Now that she has fallen, she must be sick to death."
Concubine De smiled and said, "I would like to see her expression now."
"That's not easy. In a few days we will pay our respects to the Empress Dowager. You can watch her carefully then."
When Concubine De thought about the scene where Concubine Hui saluted her with a sullen face, she felt relaxed all over.
