The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

White jade with slight flaws.

There was still a shallow scar on Zhen Huan's fair skin. It didn't seem like a big deal from a distance, but it seemed a pity when you looked closely, as if top-quality jewelry had been scratched.

There is still half a month left before the ceremony of conferring the title of princess. The existence of this scar always makes her feel a little irritated, and she always feels that something bad will happen because of this scar.

Therefore, she now developed a habit of always unconsciously rubbing the mark back and forth on her face with her index and middle fingers, as if trying to smooth it out.

After having a rage in her bedroom last night while hugging a soft pillow, Concubine Qi put on a smiling face this morning and went to the main hall to wait for Zhen Huan to go with her to pay her respects to the Queen.

"Sister Wan Fei looks very good today. I think she is in a good mood because of the good news."

Zhen Huan smiled and glared at her: "It hasn't been canonized yet, don't yell, or people will say I'm disrespectful."

Seeing Zhen Huan's sweet smile, Concubine Qi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said sweetly:

"Sister is just too cautious. The emperor has issued an imperial decree. Who in the palace would say anything? I am just following his orders."

She used her straightforwardness to cover up her sourness. Zhen Huan came over and took her hand and walked out:

"Don't be anxious, sister. It won't be too late to call after a few days. Let's go quickly. It's not good to go too late today."

In Jingren Palace, Concubine Jing, who was pregnant and promoted to a higher position, became the target of teasing and ridicule today.

When Concubine Qi saw that Huichun was following her, she was so jealous that she was bubbling with jealousy:

"The Emperor and the Empress really love you. Even when I was pregnant with the Third Prince, there was no such event. You must cherish your blessings and don't become arrogant because of their favor."

Concubine Jing smiled shyly and said softly, "Thank you for your teachings, Madam Qi. I heard that the Third Prince is the most filial to you. This is all because of your teachings. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

Concubine Qi liked people praising the Third Prince the most, and she felt proud when she heard it. However, the Queen's words made her feel uncomfortable again.

"Your Majesty is in his prime, but he has few children. It is a good omen that Concubine Jing is pregnant in the New Year. Your Majesty and I naturally have to pay attention to her. However, the Third Prince is the eldest son, and his brothers and sisters can never surpass him."

Concubine Qi first raised her eyes and gave Concubine Jing a disdainful look, then she snorted softly before speaking, her tone deliberately intimate: "Your Majesty is right, the Third Prince is the eldest son, Your Majesty, he was still talking about coming to pay his respects to you a few days ago."

The Queen always had a smile on her face. She echoed Concubine Qi:

"The Third Prince is sensible. I haven't seen him for a long time. Let him come over when he is free."

Then he did not give Concubine Qi a chance to speak, and turned to ask Concubine Jing:

"You just moved in yesterday. You slept well last night. Are the meals in the kitchenette tasty? Are the furnishings in the house to your liking? You are young and inexperienced, so please don't be shy to speak up. A pregnant woman needs to stay in a good mood in order to take good care of the baby."

This statement made several people who had given birth to children feel the same way. Before Lady Jing could answer, Lady Xin rushed to speak:

"Your Highness is right. I was pregnant at the time. If I saw someone I liked, I wouldn't feel tired all day. But if I felt a little upset, I would suffer all day. Sister Jing, we are the kindest people. Just tell me what you have to say."

Concubine Shen also echoed with a few words.

For a while, several people were talking enthusiastically about pregnancy and childbirth.

Lady Jing seemed a little embarrassed by such enthusiasm. She smiled reservedly and said in a soft voice:

"I thank the Queen for her concern, and I also thank all the sisters. I am fine, and I will trouble the Queen if I really need anything."

An Lingrong placed her hand on her belly again. She had no right to participate in this topic.

The Queen never says useless things. Today, she repeatedly expressed her importance of Concubine Jing's fetus in front of everyone. I guess she wants to provoke Concubine Qi to do something stupid.

An Lingrong’s mind started to turn.

Today's greetings ended in a happy atmosphere.

Before everyone left, the Queen left Zhen Huan and Cao Qinmo behind.

"In half a month, it will be your big day. I have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for it. You two can go and take a look. If you want to change anything in the etiquette, please feel free to ask."

The Queen's words were polite, but Cao Qinmo didn't take them seriously. She just wanted to live a low-key life with Wen Yi and didn't want to be in the spotlight. She put on a smile and said in a flattering but respectful tone:

"Your Majesty, you are in charge of the six palaces and have always acted in a thorough and proper manner. I remember all of this in my heart. This time, you have worked so hard for me, and I am very grateful in my heart. I don't understand these things, and I will obey your Majesty's decision in everything."

Zhen Huan was a smart person. Seeing that Cao Qinmo had said so, she naturally agreed. Besides, the Queen had held many enthronement ceremonies in the palace, and everything had rules to follow, so she just had to wait patiently.

In the previous dynasty, Zhen Yuandao took a breath of the still cold air, and the cold wind entered his lungs, making him shiver.

At the morning court today, he did not agree with Lord Zhang Tingyu's report, and he felt very sorry for the Emperor's treatment of Wang Jingqi's family, thinking it was too harsh.

E Min looked at his thoughtful expression and patted his shoulder gently: "Brother Zhen, is there something on your mind?"

Having been in officialdom for many years, Zhen Yuandao knew that he should be on guard against others, but the person in front of him was a colleague who had impeached Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao with him. At that time, the two powerful men were at the peak of their power, and they both worked with their lives at risk, so their friendship was always different from that of other people.

Zhen Yuandao relaxed his guard against him a little, and the slight reluctance in his relaxed tone was caught by E Min.

E Min was delighted. He had been keeping an eye on Zhen Yuandao for a long time. This man had no interest in money, sex, or alcohol, but only loved collecting rare and unique books. He had already prepared several rare and unique books that could be used to write articles for Zhen Yuandao. All he needed was the right opportunity.

Sure enough, God helps those who work hard, and he seized this opportunity.

Looking at Zhen Yuandao who was sent away by him, E Min showed a triumphant smile on his face, then turned around and went back.

No one knew what he reported to the emperor privately in the Yangxin Palace.

After he left, the emperor had a half-smile on his face, which made people feel fear for no reason.

That night, Zhen Huan slept with him.

It had been more than a month since she last saw the Emperor. Zhen Huan could not hide her longing and excitement.

The Emperor carefully stroked the scars on Zhen Huan's face and asked in a low voice:

"Were you scared that day?"

"I was indeed scared at the time, but when I saw that the emperor was always by my side, I was no longer afraid of anything."

The Emperor's eyes and fingers were still caressing Zhen Huan's wounds. He moved gently as if he was afraid of hurting Zhen Huan again, but he asked a question that frightened Zhen Huan:

"For more than a month, I have been wondering why Shilan held you hostage?"

Zhen Huan's heart began beating rapidly and cold sweat broke out on her palms.

Her mind raced, wondering how to dispel the emperor's suspicion.
