Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Chapter 143 Entrustment

As Lan Cui said, Yan Wan was currently embroidering a bellyband for a child with Chun Chan.

The bright red fabric was embroidered with festive patterns of fortune and luck. Her fingertips flew as she embroidered quickly and well.

She had learned very well when she worked at the Sizhiku in the past. After becoming a concubine, she had more free time and her embroidery skills became more and more advanced.

"Sister Shufei, you are here. Come and sit down. Chunchan, serve the tea."

Seeing Yihuan coming, Yanwan quickly put down the needlework in her hands and asked her to sit down. Since the day Yihuan left Yiku Palace, her spirits have improved a lot. Seeing that she is no longer indulging in fantasies about the emperor, Yanwan is very relieved.

Seeing her rosy face, Yi Huan happily looked at her belly and sighed, "Back then, I only thought you were a little girl, but I didn't expect you to become a mother so soon. Time flies."

Yanwan's belly is already three months old. She is wearing thick winter clothes, and her belly is not noticeable because she is petite.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wan lowered her head and rubbed her belly shyly, saying, "How could it not be happy? In the blink of an eye, it's been almost ten years. It's just that I had severe morning sickness some time ago and couldn't eat anything. Now the situation has reversed. There must always be snacks available in the palace..."

She was wearing a bright cherry-red jacket, which was set off by the snow-white fur. She looked energetic and very pleasing to the eye with her smiling face.

Yihuan came often during the period of morning sickness. I saw her vomiting all day long and knew how difficult it was for her.

"It will be fine after that period. You will have a good life in the future. Has the emperor come to see you during this period?" Yihuan casually mentioned the emperor, her biological father, without any emotion in his eyes, which was very different from his previous affectionate look.

So much time had passed, she had long seen clearly that even though this man looked perfect, in her eyes he was nothing more than a selfish, cowardly, and ruthless emperor.

If she is still heartbroken over such a man after so long, it would make her seem petty. Instead of risking her life for a man, it would be better for her to live a peaceful life.

She has the support of the Yehenara clan, who would dare to look down on her?

Even without the emperor's favor, you can still live a good life in this harem.

"Your Highness, you may not know that the Emperor has visited us once or twice these days, but he's always busy and left after just a short visit. Although he doesn't come often, he's concerned about our Empress' morning sickness, so he has Eunuch Jinzhong deliver bird's nests every day, wanting to see our Empress eat them before returning to report..."

Chunchan happened to come in with tea. When she heard Yihuan's question, she kept talking with a happy look on her face.

Now the hardship has finally ended and the sweetness has arrived.

Yihuan nodded, took the tea, took two sips, and put it down. "He still has a conscience. I have fallen flat on my face, but now I am completely awake. The one who is most worried about in this palace is you. Concubine Mei is wholeheartedly taking care of the Eleventh Prince. You stay by the emperor's side, remember to be careful."

When Yihuan heard Chunchan's words, her first reaction was not sadness, but relief for Yanwan.

While feeling relieved, he also did not forget to give her a few words of advice. It was enough for her to suffer such a loss alone, and she must not let Yan Wan make the same mistake again.

Yan Wan nodded, turned her head to look at Chun Chan beside her, and motioned them to go down first. When they were the only two left in the room, Yan Wan took Yi Huan's hand and placed it on her slightly protruding belly.

"Don't worry, sister. I know what's going on. You're the only one in the palace who treats me the best. When the child is born, how about letting her recognize you as her mother?"

Yan Wan had a faint smile on her face and spoke seriously.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yihuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Seeing that she didn't want to lie, she quickly pulled her hand back and said in disbelief, "Are you crazy? This is the child you gave birth to with so much effort. How can you recognize me as your mother?"

Yihuan didn't understand what she was thinking at the moment, he was just shocked.

When a woman is pregnant, what she hopes most is to watch the child grow up safely. She would like to tie the child to her side. This is the first time I have seen someone send a child away.

That's why she said that Yanwan was crazy.

"Sister, listen to me. You are the one who loves me the most in this palace. I feel at ease handing the child over to you. The Qing Dynasty has always had a rule that children cannot be raised by their biological mothers. How can I not feel sorry for my own child? But with a foster mother like you, isn't that one more person who loves her? In this palace, the only one I trust the most is you..."

What she said made sense. Yihuan suppressed the anxiety in her heart and advised softly.

"What you said is true. Even if I don't become the adoptive mother, as long as it is your child, I will naturally love it. Why do you have to do this? Besides, the emperor dotes on you, and he might keep the child with you... Yanwan, what you should do now is to take good care of the pregnancy and stop having wild thoughts..."

Yanwan, Yihuan rarely calls her name.

Yihuan felt very distressed when she saw Yanwan in front of her who had already made plans for the baby in her belly.

She is obviously the youngest among the three of them, but she is the most calm and steady one among them.

This palace is a place where people are eaten after all. It forces people into this state.

"Sister, you are doing this for the sake of your child. You are from the Yehenara clan, a noble family. I have worked my way up from a little maid to where I am today, so naturally my background is no less than that of the other sisters in the palace. It is a blessing for you to help raise this child. If you agree, I will go to the emperor and persuade him to register the child under your name..."

Yan Wan said this with a smile, but her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and her whole body exuded the gentleness and kindness of a mother.

In this life, with Shu Fei's guidance, the Seventh Princess will definitely be a good child, and she can finally watch her Seventh Princess grow up.

In her previous life, the Seventh Princess, who was taken away at birth, had always been a source of worry for her. No matter how many princes and princesses she bore, she always yearned for her firstborn. Now, at last, she could make up for this regret and fill the gap in the mother-daughter bond that had always been missing.

Seeing her like this, Yihuan's heart softened and he sighed deeply, "Since you have made up your mind, then let it be. You trust me so much, I will not let you down. But there is no rush for this matter. Let's wait until the child is one year old. You too, why did you have this idea? Why didn't you discuss it with me earlier..."

"Sister, you really do love me. I'll thank you on behalf of the child in my belly. This idea just popped up a few days ago, and it's not too late to say it now. With two mothers loving me, this child will definitely be the most noble and happy child in the Forbidden City..."

When Yanwan heard Yihuan agree, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"It's been four months, why is your belly still the same size? I see you've lost a lot of weight. You should eat well every day..."

"How have I lost weight? I've been eating several meals a day these days. Even Chunchan and the others said I've become plump..."

"I can see that he has lost weight. Could it be that I am seeing things..."
