Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Jingren Palace.

Whenever the Queen heard any noise at the door, she would ask Jianqiu to go out and see if it was the Emperor who had sent someone to convey his decree.

After going back and forth many times, Su Peisheng finally came.

The queen was very happy.

But she still maintained a dignified look.

She looked at Su Peisheng and smiled:

"Eunuch Su, why are you here?"

Su Peisheng placed the whisk in the crook of his arm, bent his body, raised his hands and smiled at the queen:

"In reply to the Queen, the Emperor asked me to come here in advance to inform you that he will come over to have dinner with you in the evening."

The queen was overjoyed when she heard this.

Even the voice of the speaker was filled with laughter:

"I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Su, for making this trip."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? This is what a servant should do."

It’s a rare occasion for the Emperor to come to Jingren Palace, and the Empress can hardly hide the smile on her face!

Su Peisheng is a man of good sense. He knows that he can't stay here any longer!

So he hurriedly said to the queen:

"Then your Majesty, please prepare first. I will take my leave now."

When the Queen heard that Su Peisheng was leaving, she hurriedly smiled and asked Jianqiu to go out and see him off.

After seeing Su Peisheng off, the Queen went to the small kitchen in person and instructed the cooks to prepare some of the Emperor's favorite dishes.

Afterwards, she instructed Jianqiu to prepare the bathing water in advance.

Then put some fresh flower petals in the water and she wants to soak herself in the water to make herself smell fragrant.

Although Jianqiu was unhappy, she still did as she was told.

While bathing, the queen picked up some petals, put them to her nose and smelled them:

"Jianqiu, why do I feel like it's still not fragrant enough?"

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the service of the palace maids.

While instructing Jianqiu:

"Jianqiu, throw in some more petals."

The bathtub was filled with layer upon layer of petals, wrapping the queen inside and out!

The queen actually felt it wasn’t fragrant enough!

It seems like the Queen is going to annoy the Emperor to death!

Jianqiu thought that ever since the queen was scratched by Songzi, her whole personality has become exaggerated.

In the past, she only liked the faint scent of melons and fruits.

But now!

She always liked to make herself smell as good as possible.

Jianqiu thought that the Queen might have been provoked by Concubine Hua!

After all, the news that the Emperor always praised Concubine Hua for smelling so good had spread throughout the palace!

Although the queen doesn't say it, she probably wants to be praised by the emperor in her heart!

I soaked it like this for an hour, and I don’t even know how many times I added water!

But the Queen showed no intention of coming out at all!

The queen seems to have a special liking for taking baths.

Not only can she make the emperor fall asleep, but she can also make herself wrinkled!

The queen kept smiling with her eyes closed.

In her mind, she kept thinking about the scene of the emperor and her together.

She fantasized that the emperor would be attracted by her scent;

She also fantasized that the emperor would treat her like he did on their wedding day...

In short, everything is so beautiful in imagination.

Jianqiu saw that the Queen's fingers had turned white from being soaked, so she reminded her:

"My queen, it won't be long before the emperor arrives."

"Your Highness, you should come out earlier and let me help you clean up, right?"

Jianqiu's words pulled the queen out of her imagination.

Thinking that she would soon meet the emperor, she became anxious:

"Jianqiu, please help me change my clothes."

With that, the queen stood up from the bathtub:

"I want to wear the one the emperor likes best!"

After a lot of trouble, he finally satisfied the queen.

At this time, the emperor also rushed over.

The queen hurriedly ordered the food to be served.

As soon as he sat down, the emperor smelled a strange smell:

An indescribable rich fragrance filled the emperor's sense of smell.

The emperor frowned unconsciously, then returned to his usual self:

"What fragrance did the Queen use today?"

The Queen was busy serving food to the Emperor and didn't notice the change in his facial expression at all.

She thought that the emperor asked because he liked her!

"Your Majesty has a very keen sense of smell."

The queen put down her chopsticks and looked at the emperor with a smile:

"I have never liked spices, so today I specially ordered someone to pick fresh flowers."

"Put some in the bath, and you'll have this light rose scent on your body."

"Light?"

The emperor also put down his chopsticks, and his expression became uncertain.

There was a hint of vigilance in Su Peisheng's eyes when he looked at the emperor.

He sensed the emperor's hidden unhappiness.

The emperor wanted to say something to the queen.

But when he thought about the prescription for the epidemic, the words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng hurried forward and picked up one of the emperor's favorite dishes and placed it on the emperor's plate.

The emperor was silent for a while, then picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

The queen also noticed that something was wrong with the emperor.

After she chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth, she looked at the emperor and said:

"When Jianqiu was bathing, I always felt that the fragrance of the flowers was too light."

"So I put more in, but I didn't expect that the emperor would..."

While the Queen was speaking, she kept using her peripheral vision to quickly glance at the expression on the Emperor's face from time to time.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, she continued:

"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I will take a bath after dinner to get rid of the fragrance."

The Queen said this and winked at Jianqiu.

After hearing this, Jianqiu was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears!

It was obvious that the queen herself felt that the petals were not fragrant enough, so she poured the petals into the water one basket at a time.

Now you blame her?

This is really the case, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!

But what can we do?

In front of the emperor, she had no choice but to accept it!

Jianqiu thought about it, then bowed and said:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, this is all my fault."

The emperor was eating in silence with his head down.

When I heard Jianqiu's voice, I remembered what Zhen Huan said.

So I became curious about Jianqiu.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at Jianqiu carefully.

The queen's gaze also followed the emperor and finally stopped on Jianqiu.

But the queen didn't believe that the emperor would have any intentions towards Jianqiu.

Because Jianqiu's outfit makes her look too old!

How many women has the emperor seen!

How could he be attracted to such a humble and unremarkable woman?

impossible!

Totally impossible!

The queen was thinking this in her heart, but she heard the emperor's voice in her ears:

"The hairpin on your head is nice."

"I have never seen you wear a hairpin on your head before. Now it seems that you have added a bit of feminine charm."

After hearing this, the queen suddenly became restless.

She tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

Jianqiu was unable to react for a moment.

She never thought that the emperor would notice her so quickly.

"Your Majesty, your praise is too great. I am ashamed to accept it!"

While Jianqiu was speaking, she did not dare to look at the queen.

She thought to herself that as long as she didn't meet the Queen's gaze, she still had a reason to say a few more words to the Emperor.

So she kept her head slightly lowered, pretending not to feel the Queen's warning.

The emperor blinked his lips, and looked at Jianqiu with a little more passion in his eyes:

"I am only telling the truth."

"You just dress a little older, but you look quite distinctive."
