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

Two messages.

After Concubine Qi fell into the lake, there was no water accumulation in her chest.

But when she was knocked down, she broke her right wrist.

Concubine Qi cried and defended herself, but the Emperor still punished her for acting rashly, confining her to her house for a month and making her copy the "Rules for Women" ten times.

"Finally I can have a few days of peace and quiet."

Zhen Huan had just woken up from a nap in Bitong Academy when she heard the news that Concubine Qi was under house arrest.

When Jinxi said this, there was a look of schadenfreude on her face, but more importantly, there was relief that the trouble that had troubled her for a long time was finally gone.

Zhen Huan had a smile on her face, obviously agreeing with Jin Xi's words.

After arriving in the Old Summer Palace, although Concubine Qi moved into Fanying Pavilion, she still came to Zhen Huan's place every day during the day.

Every time she came over she chattered and never got quiet, which gave Zhen Huan a headache.

"Go and see how the kitchen is preparing. I want to keep Sister Mei for dinner today."

Shen Meizhuang also came to see Zhen Huan every day. When she came, Concubine Qi would at least be quiet.

As he was speaking, Shen Meizhuang pushed the door open with great enthusiasm:

"I thought you should wake up by now. How are you today? Has Doctor Wen come to see you?"

The two of them were so familiar with each other that there was no need for red tape. Zhen Huan smiled and said:

"You ask this question every day. I'm standing in front of you. Can't you see it at a glance?"

Zhen Huan's complexion is now as white as rosy and translucent as when she was first pregnant. She is completely different from the way she looks. From her appearance, it is hard to tell that she is more than three months pregnant.

Shen Meizhuang did not praise her, but said:

"You are so comfortable even though you are pregnant. This is clearly the work of Doctor Wen. It shows that there are always specialties in one's field."

Shen Meizhuang said it smoothly, but Zhen Huan felt something was wrong.

Sister Mei has mentioned Doctor Wen too frequently recently.

She pretended to be slightly angry and said sourly:

"Hearing what Sister Mei said, if you don't know, you might think that Sister Mei only cares about Doctor Wen and forgets about me, your sister?"

It was just a joke between sisters, but Shen Meizhuang's reaction was surprisingly big.

She was confused for a moment, and her expression was no longer calm and composed. Instead, she was panicked and kept retorting:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I asked about him because he was taking care of your baby. I have to ask him more about it. If you think too much, I won't ask anymore."

This harsh tone of voice only makes the matter more obvious.

Zhen Huan's heart suddenly ached as if it was being pricked by needles. Sister Mei had the elegance of a gentle woman, and she should be treated as a good man.

But in this dye vat-like palace, she encountered great humiliation and lost all love for the Emperor.

Is her feeling for Wen Shichu just a temporary emotional comfort, or is it really a deep love?

Seeing Shen Meizhuang's angry and embarrassed look, Zhen Huan understood that the matter should not be handled hastily, lest Sister Meizhuang do something extreme out of shame and anger.

"Good sister, it's all my fault for being quick-witted. I made you angry. I'm going to apologize to you right now."

Zhen Huan's eyes were full of apology, and she raised her hand as if to slap herself on the mouth.

Shen Meizhuang also realized at this time that she had overreacted, and hurriedly grabbed her hand:

"I don't know why I've been getting so impatient lately. I shouldn't have gotten so angry with you just now."

She had already found a way out for herself, so Zhen Huan naturally followed suit:

"Maybe it's because of the hot weather. I've been feeling uneasy lately, so I wanted to talk to my sister."

"Have you ever..." Shen Meizhuang wanted to ask whether Doctor Wen had seen her, but thinking of the unpleasantness just now, she immediately changed the topic:

"It may be because you are pregnant that you feel this way. The palace is relatively peaceful now. The old people in the palace like to live in peace. Wenpin, who has long been favored by the emperor, has never had any grudges against you. The emperor's new favorites, Qi Guiren and Xia Changzai, are not easy to get along with, but they are not your opponents yet. Don't think too much, just wait for the baby to be born."

But for the sake of caution Shen Meizhuang added:

"If you are really worried, let Doctor Wen carefully screen your palace again."

"That's all it can do."

Seeing that Shen Meiyu also said the same thing as the others in Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan thought that maybe this absent-mindedness was really a reaction to pregnancy, so she didn't say anything more and instead asked Shen Meiyu to make clothes for the baby together.

Taohuawu, named after the spring scenery of Wuling, was originally intended to convey the idea of ​​being separated from the mundane world by the vast mist and water.

But the Queen never had a moment of peace of mind while here, and the news that the Fourth Prince had entered the Qinzheng Palace made her alert.

If it was An Lingrong who deliberately arranged it last year, the father and son would have met in a hurry.

But this year, it was the Fourth Prince who took the initiative to ask for a meeting, and the key point was that the Emperor actually met him.

It seemed that this father and son had developed an unspeakable rapport over the course of a year.

"Jianqiu, go to the Sui'an Room of Huifang Academy and see if the Fourth Prince is missing anything."

After hearing this, Jianqiu became confused:

"My lady, do you not need to avoid suspicion anymore?"

The Queen said calmly:

"All the sons of the royal family must call me mother. It is human nature for me to care about you. Others cannot criticize me. I am just fulfilling my duties as the queen in front of the emperor."

Jianqiu immediately realized that the Queen was trying to test the Emperor's attitude towards the Fourth Prince.

In the summer evening, the clouds change rapidly.

At this time, An Lingrong received a verbal message from the Fourth Prince's nanny, who had gone through several rounds of twists and turns, and told An Lingrong vaguely what had happened today.

"Ren Dong, go to Sui'an Hall quietly and tell the Fourth Prince to be modest and not to be impatient. Then give him these silver coins and pills and tell him to take good care of himself."

Today, the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Emperor has eased. In addition to the Queen, An Lingrong is also worried that the Emperor's old enemies will secretly make trouble for the Fourth Prince, so she asked Rendong to remind him so that he can be alert.

After that, the Fourth Prince never went to the Qinzheng Hall again.

Time flies and June is over.

Concubine Qi is still recuperating from her injuries.

Li Ying has been pregnant for seven months. The Queen has taken very good care of her. By mid-September, the baby will be ready to give birth.

Zhen Huan, who was five months pregnant, was also doing fine, without even a minor ailment like a headache or fever.

The entire harem was filled with joy and harmony every day, enjoying the flowers, rowing boats, listening to operas and having fun.

The emperor was pleased to see such a harmonious atmosphere, and the queen also received positive praise for it.

It was the hottest time of July, and the Queen was busy preparing for the Zhongyuan sacrificial ceremony. Plus, she had so many palace affairs to deal with that she was too busy to take care of the people in the harem.

Pregnant women have a hot body, and Zhen Huan feels sticky and uncomfortable every day. Now that her fetus is firmly seated, Wen Shichu suggests that she should walk more to facilitate delivery in the future.

The lake waves on all sides are like natural neighbors. The sunset is reflected in it like scattered rouge. The wind blows the lotus fragrance, creating layers of ripples.

Zhen Huan was intoxicated by the scene and walked away with Huanbi without noticing.

Where the lotus fragrance was strongest, a team of guards with swords stopped to listen to instructions.

The man standing in front of the team turned around with cold eyes when he heard the footsteps. When he saw who was coming, his eyes suddenly softened.

It's the King of Guo County.

The two were stunned for a moment, never expecting to meet each other again.
