Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

001 Rebirth on the Eve of Entering the Palace

At this moment, Zhen Huan has firmly sat on the throne of the Queen Mother. She lies quietly on the gorgeous and warm imperial couch in Shoukang Palace, her eyes slightly closed, and all kinds of past scenes quietly unfold in her mind like a scroll.

The sparse shadows of apricot blossoms when I first met Yinzhen, the first encounter with Yunli by the river in Yuanmingyuan, Chun'er's unfortunate death by the lotus pond, the hardship and death of Meijie during childbirth, Liuzhu's bravery and heroism in the midst of swords and sabers, the moment when Yunli passed away peacefully in her arms, and the last words of Yinzhen that were full of despair but hard to let go...

These memories came flooding in like a violent storm, causing Zhen Huan's head to feel indescribable heaviness and pain.

She couldn't help but call out softly, "Jinxi, Jinxi." However, after calling out repeatedly, Jinxi did not appear.

[Zhen Mansion Chapter]

Zhen Huan opened her eyes and found that this was not the Shoukang Palace she was familiar with, but the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar.

Just as she was wondering, the door opened slightly, Liu Zhu walked in and asked softly, "Miss, are you calling me?"

Zhen Huan's eyes sparkled with tears, and she blurted out, "Liu Zhu?"

Seeing this, Liu Zhu panicked and asked quickly, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Zhen Huan was confused and couldn't tell whether this moment was real or an illusion. She clearly remembered that she was already the Queen Mother, and Liu Zhu had already become a soul under the knife, so why was she in the Zhen Mansion now?

She asked Liu Zhu doubtfully: "Liu Zhu, am I still a concubine now?"

Although Liu Zhu was puzzled, she still answered obediently: "Miss, you are confused because of your sleep. You have been appointed as a concubine of the sixth rank, and you will enter the palace in two days."

Zhen Huan sighed softly, as if she could not escape her predetermined fate. In the end, she could not escape...

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Where is Ling Rong now?"

Liu Zhu replied: "Miss An is now living in Xiyuan. Miss, what happened to you?"

Zhen Huan smiled slightly and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just slept for too long and my head feels a little heavy."

At this time, Huanbi walked into the room and reported: "Miss, the teacher is here."

Zhen Huan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go after I tidy up a bit."

After saying this, she stood up, tidied her appearance, and prepared to face the upcoming life in the palace.

As soon as Zhen Huan arrived at the door, she happened to meet An Lingrong.

At this moment, An Lingrong still maintains her innocent temperament. She is wearing an orange dress with elegant colors, like a newly blooming flower.

She smiled and greeted Zhen Huan: "Sister Zhen, you are here."

Zhen Huan smiled and responded, "Sister Lingrong, you are here too."

The two of them walked into the house side by side, sat down, and then Fang Ruo also walked in.

She bowed slightly and saluted the two young ladies respectfully: "I wish you all the best."

Afterwards, she began to carefully teach the two of them the etiquette of the palace.

When Zhen Huan looked at Fang Ruo, she couldn't help but think of Queen Chun Yuan.

She guessed that when Fang Ruo first saw her, she might have also marveled in her heart at the similarities between her and Queen Chunyuan.

However, Zhen Huan knew very well that although she and Queen Chun Yuan had similar appearances, their destinies and personalities were completely different.

"I heard that the current queen is not born of a legitimate wife?" Huanbi suddenly asked a question.

Fang Ruo glanced at her, her expression still calm, and then she spoke softly: "One's status is not entirely determined by whether one is legitimate or illegitimate. Blessings and opportunities are equally important."

"My words were spoken out of turn. Please punish me, young lady." Huanbi quickly bowed her head and apologized.

Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi deeply and understood in her heart that Huanbi might have begun to have some improper thoughts at this time, which was also the reason why she was used by Cao Qinmo in the future.

Zhen Huan secretly decided that this time she must have a frank talk with Huanbi early on to make her understand the complexity and dangers of the royal court, as well as the importance of loyalty and duty.

"In the palace, the continuation of offspring is of vital importance. Even for a princess, it is a precious hope." Fang Ruo said earnestly.

"That's right. With a princess, there is more hope and expectation in my heart." Zhen Huan took over the conversation and turned her eyes to An Lingrong, hoping that she could understand the deep meaning of it. "Lingrong, don't you think so? In the harem, status is important, but the continuation of offspring is even more indispensable."

An Lingrong nodded slightly and responded, "Sister Zhen is absolutely right. I understand."

Fang Ruo looked at Zhen Huan, nodded with satisfaction, and continued teaching.

After the training was successfully completed, Zhen Huan took An Lingrong to the human trafficking place, carefully selected two smart maids, and went to the palace with An Lingrong.

"Lingrong, the people in the palace are different from the ones we know. I specially let you choose two maids to accompany you in the palace and serve you. If you like any of them, just tell me and I will buy them for you." Zhen Huan said.

"Sister Zhen, Lingrong is grateful to you forever." Perhaps An Lingrong has not yet been influenced by the affairs of the palace, and her eyes are filled with sincere gratitude at this moment.

Zhen Huan sighed softly, looked at An Lingrong, and said gently: "Lingrong, I only hope that after we two sisters enter the palace, we can still be close to each other and not be alienated by the red tape of the palace."

After hearing this, An Lingrong's eyes were firm, and she responded: "Don't worry, sister, Lingrong will not let you down. We have a deep sisterly relationship, and we will support each other after entering the palace. We will not be alienated by any external factors."

"I hope so," Zhen Huan thought to herself.

As night fell, after dinner, Zhen Huan called Huanbi into her room.

She said to Huanbi in a meaningful tone: "Huanbi, my father has revealed everything about you to me."

"Miss, do you know everything?" Huanbi asked softly.

"Yes, I know everything. You are my blood-related sister, although we are not born from the same mother." Zhen Huan replied.

"Then...then the master..." Huanbi's voice trembled a little.

"You should call me elder sister," Zhen Huan corrected.

"Sister, what did father say?" Huanbi asked curiously.

"My father once asked me which two maids I wanted to bring with me when I entered the palace. I mentioned you and Liu Zhu. When he mentioned you, I noticed tears in my father's eyes. It was obvious that he was full of love for you. He hoped that I would treat you well and find a suitable home for you." Zhen Huan explained in detail.

"I was completely unaware of the deep love my father had for me." Tears were also glistening in Huanbi's eyes.

"After you follow me into the palace, I will naturally find a good marriage for you. Otherwise, you may only be able to marry an ordinary servant in this mansion. Wouldn't that be a pity?" Zhen Huan said.

"Huanbi is grateful for the kindness of her elder sister." Huanbi knelt on the ground.

Zhen Huan helped her up, sighed softly and said: "In this deep palace, loyalty and wisdom are both very important. If I didn't have a few trustworthy maids, how could I have safely spent these long years?"

"Sister, Huanbi understands. I will do my best to protect you." Huanbi said firmly.
