If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

"May the emperor be healthy and well." Zhen Huan led everyone in the Bitong Academy to pay respects to the emperor. The emperor would occasionally come to the Bitong Academy for breakfast after the morning court session.

"Everyone, get up. I just got off court and I'm hungry." The emperor was really hungry, he walked quickly to the main seat and sat down. After Zhen Huan thanked him, Liu Zhu helped her sit next to the emperor.

"Today we have some delicious pickled vegetables. I've asked someone to send them to your small kitchen. Let's eat them together with the porridge." The emperor naturally patted Zhen Huan's shoulder to show his affection.

"This is freshly ground soy milk this morning. Your Majesty, please try it." Zhen Huan said coquettishly. The emperor was very supportive and immediately prepared to taste the freshly ground soy milk. Zhen Huan looked at the emperor's happy expression and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty looks very happy, but what's the reason for being so happy?"

"Nian Gengyao defeated the enemy, and the war in the northwest was won. I am very comforted." Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's charming smile froze for a moment, but when she saw the emperor looking at her, she immediately smiled even more charmingly.

"Your Majesty is a man of genius and wisdom, and he is able to make great plans. I would like to congratulate you with porridge instead of wine." Zhen Huan raised her bowl to celebrate with the emperor.

"Do you think you can escape drinking like this?" the emperor teased her while holding a bowl of porridge.

"Your Majesty, please don't force others to do things against their will." Zhen Huan gently touched the emperor's bowl with her own bowl. Everyone laughed along.

"I will be returning to the capital at the end of the month." The emperor gently stirred the porridge in his hand with a spoon. "There are so many things to do, I am afraid that the queen is overwhelmed, I want Concubine Hua to help, what do you think?" After the emperor finished speaking, he continued to eat, while Zhen Huan, who was happily drinking porridge, was shocked. Did the emperor mean to restore Concubine Hua's power to assist the six palaces?

"Then what does the Empress think?" The Emperor asked her opinion in order to see what the others in the six palaces thought. Of course, no one wanted Concubine Hua to regain power, after all, they had just had a few days of peace.

"I haven't asked the Queen yet, so I'm asking you first." The Emperor looked at Zhen Huan and said, the Queen would certainly not reject my suggestion, but she really wanted to see if the six palaces would feel resentful.

"There's nothing wrong with the emperor being considerate of Concubine Hua." Zhen Huan was also cunning. The emperor clearly said that he was considerate of the empress, but what she meant was that the emperor was partial to Concubine Hua.

"Hua Fei is indeed impatient sometimes, but since Duan Fei is sickly and weak, and Qi Fei is incompetent, only Hua Fei can help." After the emperor finished speaking, the room fell silent, with only the sound of the emperor drinking porridge.

Zhen Huan saw that the emperor's face was not good and knew that although the emperor asked for her opinion, he did not want to hear that she went against his will, so she organized her words and smiled again, "The emperor's intention is good, and I think the queen will not have any objections." She kept staring at the emperor's expression while speaking. Seeing that the emperor just continued to drink porridge and did not say anything, she continued, "It's just that General Nian just won the victory on the front line, and the emperor immediately restored Concubine Hua's power to assist in the management of the six palaces. Those who know naturally say that the emperor sympathizes with his meritorious officials. Those who don't know may ignore the emperor's wisdom and think that the emperor relies on the Nian family to win the battle, so he can't wait to reuse Concubine Hua to win her over."

"There are such rumors in the palace." Haha, how many people has this idiot Concubine Hua offended?

"It's those foolish people who like to gossip behind people's backs. Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart. The only thing is, General Nian has achieved great success, so he is naturally overjoyed. If Your Majesty empowers Concubine Hua at this moment, I'm afraid General Nian will be so happy that he forgets himself, which would be bad." Zhen Huan was still talking with a chuckle. Seeing that the emperor did not continue to drink the porridge but still kept his head down and did not speak, she immediately felt uneasy. Although the emperor did not show any change in expression, she knew that he was probably unhappy at this moment.

Zhen Huan immediately stood up and walked to the table to bow and apologize, "I was confused for a moment and made irresponsible comments on state affairs. I hope the emperor will forgive me." Following Zhen Huan's action, the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving in the room immediately knelt down in unison.

The room was quiet for a long time, Zhen Huan's heart was beating with time. At this moment, she went over what she had just said in her mind again and again. The harem did not discuss politics, so why did she get so complacent? Although she was looking forward to the fall of Concubine Hua all the time, but, but...

After Zhen Huan regretted for a long time, the emperor continued to drink a mouthful of porridge and said softly, "It's okay, I said I would allow you to discuss politics." Oh, it seems that Zhen has been suffering from Concubine Hua for a long time...
