An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Prince Guo's poetry writing level was similar to Shen Meizhuang's, so Shen Meizhuang also appreciated his works in a very proper manner.

Except for Prince Dun, everyone was a respectable person after all, and this sudden poetry tasting controversy passed smoothly.

Of course, this may not include the emperor.

After all, his favorite concubine was teased by Prince Guo by reading a poem in public. As an emperor, how could he laugh?

But after all, the emperor was also a "decent" man, so he could only force a smile and pretend that he didn't care.

"Lady Hui is pregnant now, which is a great joy for the Qing Dynasty. Brother Ten, you are going a bit too far."

After finally getting through a crisis, Prince Guo felt his heart beating like a drum. He just stole a glance at the emperor's unhappy expression and felt like he was being stared at fiercely by a beast.

He simply thought that he had helped Prince Dun and caused the emperor's displeasure, but he didn't know that it was his love poem that made the emperor lose face.

"So what? I've already said it. What's there to be afraid of?" Prince Dun was very disdainful. He glanced at Prince Guo and said, "How long do you want to think about it? If you keep thinking about it, I'm afraid that Concubine Xu will also be pregnant.

Could it be that you still want to help Yinzhen raise the child? "

Prince Guo did not answer. He subconsciously glanced at Zhen Huan's seat, only to find that Zhen Huan had left at some point.

He hurriedly stood up and wanted to go out to look for Zhen Huan, but he didn't expect that his movements were so big that he was seen by the emperor on the high platform.

Faced with the emperor's unfriendly look, Prince Guo gritted his teeth and left the banquet, planning to go look for Zhen Huan.

It’s a pity that he didn’t find her, because Zhen Huan left the banquet not because she felt bored, but because she wanted to prepare for the next performance.

As soon as Prince Guo left, Zhen Huan came from the sea in a small boat. She was holding a pipa in her arms, and her beautiful face was completely covered by a veil.

Before anyone got off the boat, Zhen Huan played the pipa with her bare hands.

Her clothes were extremely gorgeous, completely beyond the norm for someone of her position.

Lingrong looked carefully, but couldn't find one exactly the same as her memory. She was afraid that Zhen Huan or the Queen had re-ordered it privately.

The emperor on the stage was already fascinated by the show. Zhen Huan's outfit and the music she played were exactly the same as Rou Ze's back then.

He knew that this must have been played by the Queen, so even though he guessed who the woman playing the music was, he still couldn't help but be drawn to it.

Soon, the sound of the pipa gradually faded away, and the familiar Jinghong dance music sounded instead.

Zhen Huan completely abandoned her previous dance style and reinterpreted it according to her own understanding.

At this moment, she no longer looked like a stunning swan in the sky, but rather like a gorgeous phoenix, lightly tapping the ground with her toes and gracefully spinning her sleeves.

Zhen Huan was draped in colorful patterns, as if the goddess of spring had descended, and anyone who saw her knew that the world was at peace.

Beside the boat, many lotus flowers floated in, one by one, placed on the green lotus leaves, which perfectly matched Zhen Huan's new and stunning dance.

A wisp of white mist floated by, and Zhen Huan was already standing on the shore. The boat in the water was still swaying slightly, creating circles of ripples.

Lingrong was the first to come back to her senses from the dance, secretly sighing that she was worthy of being Zhen Huan, as she could dance so creatively.

If it were Queen Chunyuan's voice again, the Emperor would probably forget all the wrong things she had done.

Ling Rong glanced at the emperor and found that his face did not show love and infatuation for Zhen Huan, but instead seemed to be recalling something.

After a long time, the emperor let out a long sigh.

"Su Peisheng, prepare a table for Xu Changzai and sit next to me."

Zhen Huan saluted lightly. She had just finished dancing and was still slightly out of breath. The sound of her salute was surprisingly similar to that of Queen Chun Yuan - except that it was Queen Chun Yuan's voice that was hoarse after catching a cold.

The emperor frowned and seemed quite dissatisfied with the voice.

Fortunately, all of this was arranged by the Queen, and she immediately found a suitable excuse to help Zhen Huan get over it. "I didn't expect that after Xu Chang's voice became hoarse, it sounded very similar to my sister's voice after she caught a cold.

My sister was weak at the time, and it took a long time for the doctor to cure her illness."

The emperor actually didn't remember it so clearly, but when the queen mentioned it so vividly, he seemed to hear Rouze's voice ringing in his ears again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It is said that when you forget a person, you will forget her voice first, but the emperor did not think so at this moment.

Perhaps it was because the Queen had been emphasizing Rouze's appearance and voice, the Emperor felt that the voice sounded more and more familiar, as if it was really Rouze's voice.

"As graceful as an orchid and as gentle as a flying dragon." Lingrong suddenly spoke. Her voice was exactly the same as Rouze's, which immediately shocked the emperor. "Xu Chang is so stunning in this dance that even the best dancers in the world would find it hard to match her."

The Queen's gaze also drifted over. She felt that An Lingrong's voice was very similar to Rouze's. Why didn't she notice it when they were chatting?

Could it be that...she also knew about Rouze? That's why she could imitate Rouze's voice so closely.

The queen quickly rejected her own idea. She suddenly remembered that An Lingrong's voice was somewhat similar to Rouze's.

It was for this reason that she won the emperor's favor in Tangquan Palace.

"You are too kind, Madam An. I am only a little bit proficient, not an expert."

The banquet for the emperor was prepared quickly. Zhen Huan had already taken her seat quietly. Her veil was not taken off yet, and the sparkling gems shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Not very good, at best comparable to the dancers in my palace."

Prince Dun jumped out at the right time. He mocked Zhen Huan just like he did in his previous life. Although his face was still extremely ugly, it was really pleasing to the ears of those who hated Zhen Huan.

Lingrong secretly curled the corners of her mouth. She looked at Concubine Tian next to her and found that she had been covering her mouth and laughing so hard that she was shaking.

Not to mention Xia Dongchun. Even though she was so far away, Ling Rong still felt that she heard her laughter.

This is not good. Lingrong lowered her head to hide her smile. When they were united in front of the outside world, if the emperor saw that his concubines also laughed at Zhen Huan like this, she would be afraid of losing all her dignity and face.

Fortunately, the other concubines were not fools. After hearing this joke, they all turned serious, especially the queen. The decent smile that she always had on her face disappeared.

"It seems that Old Ten is knowledgeable about both poetry and dance. Since Old Seventeen is doing the poetry, you should perform the dance yourself."

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would never say these words in person. Lingrong guessed that it might be because Zhen Huan's dance was too similar to that of Queen Chunyuan.

Prince Dun touched the emperor's reverse scale, no wonder he got angry.

"What???"

When Prince Dun heard the Emperor asking him to dance, he couldn't help but raise his voice. What was Yinzhen trying to do? How could it be so humiliating?

"The musicians in this palace are all highly skilled. No matter what piece of music Prince Dun wants, they can play it."

The husband followed the wife's lead, and the Queen also spoke with a smile, trying to save Prince Dun's face.

“If the Prince Wu Dun just now can also dance, then this concubine would really like to learn a thing or two.

I am not very good at martial arts, and I am looking for someone to learn from.”

The gems on Zhen Huan's veil jingled as she moved, which seemed even more ironic when combined with her words.

"I am not a dancer. It is not good for Your Majesty to humiliate me like this."

"Since this is a family banquet, there are no rules for ministers. It is not shameful to perform some shows to liven up the atmosphere.

Besides, Old Seventeen also wrote a poem, didn't he?"

The emperor's patience with Prince Dun's repeated provocations had reached its limit, not to mention that Shen Zishan had also come to the Old Summer Palace, just waiting for Prince Dun to make any small move so that he could take him down in one fell swoop.

It’s not that the emperor doesn’t have a better candidate, but Shen Meizhuang is pregnant, which is an excellent opportunity.

All the achievements of the Shen family can be attributed to Shen Meizhuang, and Shen Meizhuang herself is pregnant, so it is only natural to promote her.

It can also prevent the Shen family from becoming too powerful and becoming like the Nian family, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Prince Dun immediately glanced at Prince Guo who had returned to his seat, and was furious to see his distraught look.

She is always entangled in trivial love affairs. I really don't know if she has been spoiled by the Emperor and her brain has been damaged.

What's so good about a dancer who dances to please men?

"Oh? So, when I dance, Your Majesty will also beat drums to cheer me up?"

Prince Dun had made up his mind that if this group of people insisted on forcing him to dance, Yinzhen would have no chance of escaping.

I don't believe it myself. Yinzhen will lose his face!

Fortunately, Prince Dun made the right bet, and the emperor would never lose face in public.

"Old Ten may have forgotten that among the brothers present, Old Seventeen is the most knowledgeable about music.

Why don't you dance together and show it off."

Prince Dun could no longer suppress his anger, he even wanted to raise the knife and put it on Yinzhen's neck.

Tell him that if he wants to dance, then go ahead and dance.

But he couldn't do it now, so he had to endure it and ignore Yinzhen.

Prince Dun stopped talking and the whole place fell silent.

Prince Guo was busy grieving, and from time to time he would steal a glance at Zhen Huan who was sitting beside the Emperor. He had no intention of responding to any dancing or composing.

The Queen and the Emperor smiled at each other and said, "Don't be in a hurry. There are still sisters in the harem who want to paint for the Emperor. Don't let her wait too long."

"Then let Old Ten and Old Seventeen prepare."

The Emperor finally gave in. As for asking Prince Dun to prepare to dance, he would naturally prepare until the end of the banquet, and then the matter would be dropped.

Prince Dun snorted coldly, and he took two more gulps of wine. He had no intention of appreciating the damn calligraphy anymore.

Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan who was sitting upright. At this moment, she was like a radiant statue, with no expression of sadness or joy.

But if you look at her for a long time, you will find that her eyes are on Prince Dun, and occasionally, she will pay a little attention to Prince Guo who is also drinking to drown his sorrows.

The former is disgusted by being looked down upon, but what about the latter? Ling Rong has always been curious about whether Zhen Huan's feelings for Prince Guo are love or something else.

Before this, Zhen Huan and Prince Guo met in private to play chess, and they also planned to leave the palace together and flee far away.

Why did she wear a dancing costume today to attract the emperor's attention at this family banquet?

Does she not want to go with Prince Guo, or are the two of them planning something else?

In this way, the family dinner in Yuanmingyuan ended with everyone having their own thoughts. Lingrong was quite puzzled by Zhen Huan's attitude tonight, and finally sent Xiaochizi to follow Zhen Huan.

However, no news was obtained this time, because the Emperor actually ignored the rule of staying at the Queen's place on the first and fifteenth days of every month, and directly followed Zhen Huan to Yuedi Yunju.

But Xiao Chizi felt that he couldn't just go back empty-handed, he had to find out some news.

He turned around and followed Prince Guo to see if he could find out anything from him.

Unexpectedly, Prince Guo did not leave Fuhai. Instead, he found a small boat, sailed on the boat and drank in Fuhai, reciting poems that Xiaochizi could not understand.

As the boat went farther and farther away, Xiao Chizi could no longer wait and decided to return empty-handed.

But out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Chizi saw a familiar figure. He swiftly dived into the bushes and quietly watched the palace maid approach the ferry.

With the help of moonlight, Xiao Chizi confirmed that the palace maid was none other than Huanbi, who was always by Xu's side.

She waited at the ferry for a while, and Prince Guo's boat came over.

When Huanbi got on the boat, she looked around and made sure that there was no one around before she got on.

Xiao Chizi really wanted to know what the two people were talking about in the boat, but unfortunately, the boat had already moved away quickly and he could only see circles of ripples in its place.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the boat finally came back. Prince Guo and Huanbi got off the boat together. They looked at each other in the hazy moonlight without saying a word for a long time.

Xiao Chizi hid in the bushes and didn't even dare to breathe, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He even began to think that the young lady's previous guesses were all wrong. It was not only Xu Changzai that Prince Guo had his eyes on, but also Huanbi who was hiding beside Xu Changzai!

These two people have been boating in the water for half an hour. Could it be that... they have accomplished something good?

"Miss Huanbi, tell Xu Changzai a message for me - no matter how long it takes, the prince will wait.

I believe that time will come soon.”

Huanbi responded, bowed slightly, and left Fu Hai, looking back every step of the way.

Prince Guo looked in the direction she left until he could no longer see Huanbi's back, then he slowly sighed.

"If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?"

Xiao Chizi felt his teeth were about to stop when he heard this. He muttered to himself that it might be because he was not well-educated and could not understand the meaning of the poem, so he felt that the way Prince Guo read the poem was like those pedantic literati.

Perhaps in the eyes of those who understand poetry, this scene couldn't be more beautiful.

Xiao Chizi was bitten by mosquitoes so much that he just wanted to leave immediately, but in order to avoid being discovered by Prince Guo, he could only squat in the bushes obediently.

Fortunately, Prince Guo left after reading this line of poem. Xiao Chizi waited in the bushes for a while, and only dared to come out after making sure that he would not be discovered.

This must be told to the young lady immediately, Concubine Xu is going to do something earth-shattering with Prince Guo again!
