On this day, all the concubines in the harem were paying attention to Sui Yuxuan.

As soon as the emperor came back from court, he went straight to Suiyuxuan without even changing his court robes, and everyone in the harem was heartbroken.

After not seeing each other for a month, the emperor's eyes were like hooks as he looked at the increasingly fresh and refined Zhen Huan. Before coming, he had countless things to say, but when he really saw her, he only said one sentence: "You have suffered."

The person Zhen Huan had been thinking about day and night was right in front of her. Her face flushed, her eyes were shy and timid, and she bowed to the emperor in a soft voice, but the emperor pulled her up and said, "I don't need you to be so distant."

The two held hands, expressing their love without words. After the tenderness, the emperor began to ask questions: "When did Sui Yu Xuan become so simple?"

Huanbi took a step forward and was about to report the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but was stopped by a look from Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take it and fix it. This will be in line with the new atmosphere of spring, and it is a very good omen."

The emperor did not ask any more questions, and gently patted Zhen Huan's hand: "Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, I just wronged you."

Zhen Huan bowed her head and whispered softly: "I don't feel wronged, I just hope that our hearts can be the same."

Zhen Huan's bold confession softened the emperor's eyes instantly. He held Zhen Huan's hand tightly and said, "I treasure your feelings and will never let you down."

The atmosphere in the room was so amorous that the palace servants felt shy. They quickly and quietly withdrew so that the emperor could be alone with Zhen Huan.

The Suiyuxuan became bustling again, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent in the palace maids who had been selected a month ago.

A few days later, the emperor took Zhen Huan, who was now in good health, to Tangquan Palace and gave her the Qingluan Soup to take a bath.

Inside the Jingren Palace, candles were lit brightly. The Queen was wearing a bright yellow nightgown and allowed Jianqiu to comb her hair:

"My queen, why don't you go to Tangquan Palace with me today?"

The Queen smiled and said, "I will not go, so as to help the Emperor."

Jianqiu thought about it and it was true. The emperor cared about Zhen Huan. If the queen followed him, it would only cause trouble for him. It would be more comfortable for her to stay in the palace. She flattered her, "The queen is virtuous and kind. If it were someone else, who knows how she would be jealous of what happened today."

The Queen knew she was referring to Concubine Hua, and chuckled, "In the past, she kept others awake all night, and today someone will keep her tossing and turning. There is never a shortage of new people in this palace."

Jian Qiu followed with a smile and said, "No matter who she is, you are the Queen."

The queen smiled with satisfaction and asked Jianqiu to help her go to bed.

In Tangquan Palace, red candles are shining brightly, and the man and woman are in love and promise to spend their lives together.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was wearing only her nightgown, with long hair and a sad face, leaning against the door and looking into the distance. Songzhi was behind her, looking at her lonely figure and felt distressed. She stepped forward to persuade her:

"Your Majesty, your waist has been uncomfortable since you woke up this morning. Now that you have taken the medicine, you should rest early."

Hua Fei turned a deaf ear with tears in her eyes. She said sadly, "The Emperor finally favors her, and in Tangquan Palace, he only took her with him. Is he pampering her like Yang Guifei?" After saying this, she could no longer hold back her tears, which quietly slid down her cheeks.

Songzhi carefully comforted her, "Didn't Yang Guifei die at Mawei Slope in the end? The emperor was just in a whim. Even though Yu was so favored, she still ended up committing suicide."

Hua Fei was still sad. She said quietly, "I hope so, but who can guess what the emperor is thinking?"

Songzhi persuaded Concubine Hua again and again and finally pulled her into the bedroom.

Shen Meizhuang was also chatting with Jingpin, but she, who was usually considerate, was a little absent-minded when she spoke today. Jingpin knew that she was feeling bad, but she was in the same situation herself, so the words of persuasion were stuck on her lips. She could only chat with them idly to pass the lonely night.

Noble Lady Fucha took Sang'er to Changchun Palace to find Concubine Qi, while An Lingrong was reading in Ledao Hall.

"My lady, it's getting late. You should go to bed early." Honeysuckle said as she tried to move the candle away.

"Rosewood, I'll memorize this poem and then go to sleep." An Lingrong reached out and held Rosewood's hand.

"What interesting wet and dry stuff? Aren't you afraid of hurting your eyes?" Honeysuckle is good at martial arts and hiding and tracking. She is smart and bold, but she gets sleepy as soon as she reads. Every time An Lingrong forces her to read and learn characters, she resists and therefore makes fun of her.

An Lingrong smiled and replied, "It's because I am in this mountain that I don't know the true face of Mount Lu."

Honeysuckle also laughed: "My dear, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, how could I not know the appearance of mountains? This book is just to fool you."

An Lingrong Renjun couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Silly girl, this sentence means that those who are involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly."

Honeysuckle was not annoyed by being laughed at. She said straightforwardly: "Scholars always beat around the bush. In my opinion, mountains are mountains and water is water. Why spend so much time on it?"

An Lingrong smiled and coaxed her, "Yes, it's because of our honeysuckle that we are so knowledgeable. I'm going to sleep now, and you won't nag me when I wake up."

The master and servant chatted and laughed, and both had a good night's sleep.

The next day, the emperor had not returned to the palace yet, but he sent a eunuch to convey an imperial decree that Zhen Huan was promoted to the title of Guiren Wan.

In the afternoon, the Queen sent an imperial decree, changing the time for paying respects tomorrow to noon.

Early the next morning, Zhen Huan brought Jin Xi back to the palace. As per custom, they had to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. However, as soon as they entered the harem, they were greeted by Jian Qiu.

Jian Qiu stepped forward with a smile on her face and saluted Zhen Huan: "Good luck to the noble lady Wan. The Queen Mother said that today is the day for you to pay respects to the Queen Mother. Since you have just returned to the palace, you can go to Sui Yuxuan to rest first. The Queen Mother and the concubines of the other palaces will receive your greetings at noon."

Zhen Huan sincerely thanked Jian Qiu: "Thank you, Queen, for your consideration. I understand."

Inside the Sui Yuxuan, the eunuchs and palace maids were so busy that they finally got everything in place before Zhen Huan entered.

As soon as Zhen Huan stepped into Sui Yu Xuan, she saw Liu Zhu and Huan Bi, who were both beaming with joy, and the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department who were kneeling on the ground. The eunuch in the lead, Huang Guiquan, smiled flatteringly and congratulated them, "Congratulations, young lady, on your wedding. This is the highest honor, the highest honor!"

The palace maids who were kneeling on the ground also spoke in unison: "Congratulations, young lady. Congratulations, young lady."

Liu Zhu couldn't help it, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zhen Huan, who looked puzzled, towards the inner hall.

The favor of the Queen Mother is the gift for her wedding.

The wedding night is a traditional Chinese wedding night activity, which is used by ordinary couples in their bridal chamber.

Zhen Huan was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. The emperor actually took her words so seriously, which was really thoughtful of him.

After washing and dressing up, Zhen Huan took Huanbi to Jingren Palace.
