At night, Concubine Duan came to visit Zhen Huan dressed in the clothes of a palace maid and gave her the pearl necklace that Concubine Hua dropped.

Concubine Duan also told Zhen Huan that the pearl necklace was given to Concubine Hua by Concubine Cao (Cao Qinmo).

The next day, Zhen Huan was summoned by the Queen Mother, who gave her a red gold ring and a Ruyi hairpin.

An Lingrong's throat was damaged after she caught a cold. After congratulating Zhen Huan on her pregnancy, she gave Zhen Huan a scar-removing gel.

Feng Ruozhao knew about this, but he was not going to intervene.

The most important thing now is to protect my son and find a way to stay hidden until tomorrow.

The emperor specially chose makeup for Zhen Huan and named it "Jiao Li Makeup", which became popular inside and outside the palace for a while.

Feng Ruozhao breathed a sigh of relief and only wished that the display of favor could be even greater.

On April 12, Zhen Huan's birthday banquet was held, and everyone in the harem, from the Queen to the lowest clerk, presented generous gifts to congratulate her.

Not only did Xuan Ling present a precious gift, he also presented a unique silver-purple Phoenix-tail crimson gauze dress.

Even so, Zhen Huan still missed the evening primroses on the Tonghua Terrace and the lotus flowers on the lake that night when she was boating.

Princess He of Runan was heartbroken, and Zhen Huan took the opportunity to get close to her.

Xuan Ling said that the Sixth Prince had sent a gift to Zhen Huan, and everyone followed Xuan Ling to the Taiye Lake.

When everyone arrived at the Taiye Lake, they saw the blue sky filled with kites.

Afterwards, the Sixth Prince Xuanqing came on stage and played "Phoenix Flying" with his hands between his lips instead of using any musical instrument.

Xuanqing walked three steps in front of Zhen Huan, stopped, and said, "Qing uses the lotus flowers in the pond to congratulate Concubine Wan on her birthday."

When Zhen Huan saw Xuan Qing's gift, she couldn't help but think of the small portrait of herself in his turban.

Xuan Ling said that Xuan Qing organized the birthday party very well, but Xuan Qing said that he was just a rich man with nothing to do.

Zhen Huan immediately felt sorry for Xuan Qing. As the late emperor's most beloved son, he could only help with the favorite concubine's birthday.

Zhen Huan thanked Xuan Ling on the surface, but deep down she thought Xuan Qing was the one who understood her best.

Xuan Ling had no idea that the two of them had ridden in a small boat together late at night and watched the lotus flowers that had bloomed and faded in August together, so this also made Xuan Ling's fault.

Zhen Huan was very grateful that Xuan Qing remembered that night. She also analyzed the differences between Wen Shichu and Xuan Qing, and felt that she and Xuan Qing had a mutual understanding.

While Zhen Huan was immersed in her thoughts, the emperor smiled and said that after a great victory in the southwest, Zhen Heng would be appointed General Fengguo when he returned to the court, and he also granted marriage to Zhen Heng and Xue Qiantao.

After Zhen Huan thanked him, she looked at An Lingrong again. As expected, she saw that An Lingrong looked strange, but soon she became numb.

Zhen Huan lamented that An Lingrong and Zhen Heng got married separately, and the young love ended sadly.

But wasn’t this the ending for the two of them that was arranged by Zhen Huan?

The Queen spoke again: "I have already issued an imperial edict to confer upon your mother the title of Lady of Pingchang County, a third-rank official."

Hua Fei's mother was also a third-rank Lady of Henei County. Zhen Huan felt that she was at the peak of her glory at this moment.

After Zhen Huan became pregnant, she resumed her contact with Feng Ruozhao, and Feng Ruozhao smiled as usual.

Fang Liangyuan drowned in the water while looking for a kite. The emperor ordered to posthumously confer the title of concubine on Fang Liangyuan and Fang Chunyi, and buried them according to the funeral rites for noble concubines.

The southwest war ended in complete victory, and the men of the Murong clan were granted titles and promoted in the previous dynasty.

Hua Fei, a woman of the Murong clan, was promoted to the first-rank Lady Xihua, and Lady Xihua's mother was awarded the second-rank Lady Pingyuan Mansion.

The emperor specially rewarded Zhen Heng and Xue Qiantao to enter the palace to meet Zhen Huan. An Lingrong had long fallen out of favor, so she gave all her money to send wedding congratulations to the two.

An Lingrong did not show up, but only asked the servants to deliver the gifts.

An Lingrong congratulated Zhen Heng and Xue Qiantao on their happy marriage and the birth of a baby soon, and also extended her regards to Zhen Yuandao and his wife.

Zhen Heng was stunned for a moment and asked about An Lingrong's health.

An Lingrong's maid Juqing was Zhen Huan's person. When she saw Zhen Huan looking at her, she just said that it was nothing serious.
