Xuanqing came out to speak for Zhen Huan again, expressing gratitude to the emperor for his wisdom. Zhen Huan was very grateful to Xuanqing.

Just when Zhen Huan had calmed down, someone brought up the Shu brocade jade shoes.

Concubine Tian stood up and spoke of the value of the Shu brocade jade shoes, and said frankly that she wanted to see them.

Xuan Ling spoke up to defend Zhen Huan, but Fang Liangyuan (Fang Chunyi) clapped her hands and said that the emperor loved Zhen Huan, so the more valuable the gift he gave to Zhen Huan, the better.

Feng Ruozhao looked at Fang Liangyuan, who had an innocent face, and an idea came to his mind.

After the banquet, Xuan Ling stayed alone in Yiyuan Hall as he had to perform a complicated ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven the next day.

Without Xuan Ling's company, Zhen Huan was alone and unable to sleep, thinking of Xuan Qing, which made her feel uneasy.

Zhen Huan felt that Xuan Ling was the Xi Chuang who was right in front of her, while Xuan Qing was the Bashan Mountain which was thousands of miles away.

Zhen Huan encouraged herself, telling herself not to seek far away and to hold on to the person in front of her.

When Feng Ruozhao read this part of the book, he just wanted to ask whether Zhen Huan was from this dynasty?

Even among ordinary people, there is no one like Zhen Huan, right?

The husband was not at home with his wife because of something else, so his wife remembered the two taels of meat sent by Lao Wang next door.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, just as Zhen Huan said she wanted to be frugal the night before, Pei'er took out the crane cloak worth a million gold that the Emperor had given her and wanted to put it on Zhen Huan.

In the past, everything Zhen Huan wore was the most expensive, but today she said it was inappropriate.

In order to appear humble in front of the Queen Mother, Zhen Huan put on a honey-colored fur cloak.

The Queen Mother liked Zhen Huan very much and asked her to go to Yining Palace often to accompany her.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor granted special permission to Zhen Heng, who had just returned from border garrison, to visit Zhen Huan in the palace.

After the two siblings exchanged greetings, Zhen Heng talked about the matter of choosing a spouse at home.

Zhen Huan asked Zhen Heng to choose a woman of his choice. Zhen Heng stared at the handkerchief in Zhen Huan's hand and said, "I don't have anyone in mind."

When Zhen Huan saw Zhen Heng staring at the brocade handkerchief in a daze, she realized that it was sent by An Lingrong and was embroidered with pink oleander.

Zhen Huan deliberately said that Zhen Heng liked the word "peach" and pointed to Xue Qiantao and gave it to Zhen Heng.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Heng looked displeased and distanced himself from Zhen Huan a little.

Zhen Huan remained calm. Zhen Heng said after a moment, "I remember that my sister was reluctant to enter the palace as a concubine, but now she has adapted well. It's all a foregone conclusion. I don't know any of these women, so it doesn't matter who they are."

After Zhen Huan dismissed everyone, she said to Zhen Heng: "Ling Rong's embroidery skills have become more and more advanced. When she was spending the summer in Taiping Palace, she embroidered a picture of peach blossoms for the emperor, which pleased the emperor very much."

Zhen Heng didn't seem to care and just said that An Lingrong came from a humble background and it must have been difficult for her to get to where she is today.

Zhen Huan continued to press Zhen Heng, but Zhen Heng just said coldly: "Qian Tao, it's a good name."

Then, Zhen Huan discovered An Lingrong standing outside.

An Lingrong came in to deliver Narcissus and exchanged greetings with Zhen Heng.

Zhen Huan was a little embarrassed, but she stared at the two of them, afraid that they would have strange expressions.

The three of them sat in silence, and Zhen Huan could only bring up the topic by mentioning Zhen Heng's toothache.

An Lingrong spoke up at this time: "There is a clove in the ingredients of Baihexiang, which is made from clove buds. Putting it in your mouth can relieve toothache, and it is not bitter but also leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth. You may want to give it a try, young master."

Zhen Heng glanced at An Lingrong vaguely. An Lingrong trembled and her face turned slightly red. Then An Lingrong left.

An Lingrong came back and heard Zhen Huan say that since Zhen Heng liked Xue Qiantao, she urged Zhen Heng to get married as soon as possible.

An Lingrong put down the two pots of daffodils, turned around and left silently.

After that, An Lingrong behaved as usual in front of Zhen Huan.

As soon as Zhen Heng left the palace, he went to Xue's house to propose marriage. Zhen Huan was relieved that she had achieved her goal.
