The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

The emperor was not interested at all. After all, he already had An Lingrong by his side. An Lingrong's voice was 90% like Chun Yuan's, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't tell the difference. So he had no interest in this voice that was only 60% or 70% like Chun Yuan's.

The Queen naturally knew this, so she specially selected the actors based on their appearance before choosing them. So she kept it a secret and let the Emperor see them till the end.

The actor's boat gradually approached the shore, but the emperor showed no intention of leaving, so the empress had no choice but to arrange for Jianqiu to pick him up.

When the actor came up, he took off his veil. Everyone was stunned for a moment. A hint of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Zhen Huan's face couldn't help but darken. This girl, rather than looking like Zhen Huan, was more like Zhen Huan's mother.

The emperor was in a good mood. Although Zhen Huan looked like Chun Yuan, she was only 50% similar in talent and appearance, and her voice was not similar at all. Although An Lingrong's voice was almost the same and she had studied in the past two years, she looked nothing like her.

Now this girl not only looks 30% like the old man, but her singing voice is also 60% like the old man.

"Have you ever read a book?"

"Your Majesty, I have only read some enlightenment books, and nothing else."

The emperor nodded and said: "Then read more books in the future. If you don't understand something, come and ask me."

As soon as the emperor said this, the queen knew that the matter was settled. "This girl's name is Yunxi. She has always admired the emperor. I will arrange for her to perform for the emperor."

"Oh, why do you admire me?"

"Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, you have exempted the musicians from the imperial court. All the musicians are grateful for your grace. My younger brother was also able to take the imperial examination and has the opportunity to become an official."

The emperor was very happy after hearing this and patted the queen's hand: "The queen has worked so hard. I am lucky to have you."

"I see that Your Majesty is depressed all day long, so I have come up with this plan. I hope Your Majesty can be at ease every day and live a long and healthy life."

Shen Meizhuang sighed, "I have never seen such deep affection between the Queen and the Emperor. She would even give someone to the Emperor. She only wants him to be happy. Can a lover's heart really be so magnanimous?"

An Lingrong looked at the Queen and silently drank the tea in front of her. The Queen loved the Emperor, but her love was crazy. Her love was not pure and was mixed with the pursuit of power.

In addition, due to her status, Concubine Nian loves the emperor and can flatter him to win his favor, but she is the queen, so she needs to be generous and decent, and she needs to help the emperor manage the harem.

She was also jealous of the women the emperor loved. The empress kept herself and Concubine Qi by her side because she knew that the emperor only doted on them but did not love them.

The Queen could not accept that the Emperor had any woman he truly loved, and she could not accept that the Emperor had a child with another woman. She loved the Emperor, but her love was definitely not one-sided.

The emperor looked at the woman and nodded: "You just said your name is Yunxi?"

"Your Majesty, the morning glow dyes the sea red, and the moonlight shines on the person in my dream. That is my nickname."

The emperor nodded and was about to say something when Xiao Xiazi came over and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Nian requests to see you." The emperor frowned after hearing this.

Zhen Huan also looked at the emperor. Ever since Zhen Huan learned the secret of Huan Yi Xiang, she had less hatred in her eyes when she heard the name of Nianpin. But she also wanted to know what the emperor would do, would he meet her?

"The boats have already started to sail. Will the Emperor send another boat to pick up Concubine Nian?"

"No need, just ask her to go back."

"Whoo."

The emperor liked the actress named Yun Xi very much, so he asked her to perform another song here.

Yun Xi bowed and said yes, then she held the lotus in her hand and hummed softly, dancing a song of blazing lotus for everyone. At the end, she handed the lotus in her hand to the emperor, who took her to sit beside him.

"What's your last name?"

"Your Majesty, my original surname is Yun, but my teacher, the musician, thought that this name lacked poetic meaning, so he added the grass radical to it."

"The emperor nodded and said that Yun would be your title. Yun Xi was named an official woman and was granted the title of living in Qixiang Palace." Although the title was given casually, it was a great honor for this actor.

"Slave... Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Xi stood up and saluted excitedly, and almost used the wrong title, but the emperor didn't care.

Concubine Nian also learned from Jiang Fuhai that the emperor had recently appointed an actress as an official concubine and had given her a title.

Concubine Nian often took advantage of her favor to provoke the Queen, and now Jiang Fuhai also took the opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks to Concubine Nian.

Now, the person standing on the shore was Jiang Zhongmin, the deputy chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs appointed by the Queen, and not Huang Guiquan, the chief steward. Nianpin had no way to force her way across by boat.

Now that she knew that the emperor didn't want to see her, and that she was outshined by an actor who was several times lower in status, she was so angry that she almost cried. After Jiang Fuhai left, she shouted "Go back to the palace" and left quickly.
