Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

117 Chun Er is pregnant~

On this day, Yinzhen personally visited Jingren Palace and chatted with Yixiu. He then ordered Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Mu Wanrou to gather in Jingren Palace.

Although the winter snow scenery was beautiful, the roads were slippery and the snow had not yet melted, so Zhen Huan unfortunately encountered some delays on her way.

(Jingren Palace)

"May the emperor be healthy and well, and may the empress be healthy and well." Zhen Huan said gently.

"No need to be so polite, just get up quickly." Yinzhen said softly.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Zhen Huan agreed, and then sat gracefully on the chair that Huichun had carefully prepared.

Seeing this, An Lingrong stood up with a smile and said jokingly, "Sis is really late today, so I will punish you to peel walnuts with me later, but you are not allowed to enjoy the delicious food alone."

"It was freezing cold outside, so I brought a heater with me. But halfway through the journey, the warmth faded, so I had to turn back to change it, which caused me to miss the time." Zhen Huan explained.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen immediately stretched out his palm and gently covered the back of Zhen Huan's hand, saying with concern: "It is indeed cold, warm up quickly and eat more food. The weather outside is still very cold, remember to put on more clothes before going out."

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty." Zhen Huan replied softly.

"Your Majesty is so considerate to Sister Concubine Xi. I am so envious of you." Mu Wanrou said gently.

"The Emperor also dotes on Sister Shu. I heard that the Emperor specially gifted many rare treasures to Sister Shu's Yanx Palace a few days ago. It's really enviable." Zhen Huan responded.

After saying this, Mu Wanrou's face flushed. She just smiled slightly and didn't say anything else.

"Your Majesty, there are still many vacancies for concubines in the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to select a few sisters to fill the vacancies?" Yixiu suggested gently.

"Oh? Please tell me your thoughts in detail." Yinzhen responded with interest.

"According to the regulations of the harem, there should be one Imperial Noble Consort, two Noble Consorts, four Consorts, and six Imperial Concubines. As for the rest, there is no fixed number. However, looking at the current situation, there are only three above the rank of Concubine, namely Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xi, and only one Imperial Concubine Rou. It is obvious that the number is still insufficient." Yixiu explained the current situation of the harem in a clear and orderly manner.

"There is no rush for the position of Imperial Noble Consort, but the position of Noble Consort can be added. You can choose an auspicious day and promote Concubine Xi to Noble Consort." As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Yixiu's expression changed slightly.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan quickly stood up and said humbly, "I know that I am still inexperienced and I am afraid that I cannot take on such an important task. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"That's wrong. It's not entirely about seniority. Concubine Xi has a noble character and has given birth to a prince. It's perfectly legitimate for her to be promoted to noble concubine. But considering that Concubine Xi has only been in the palace for a short time and was promoted to concubine not long ago, this move may cause some unnecessary discussions in the palace." Yixiu analyzed cautiously.

After hearing this, Yinzhen pondered for a moment, then made a decision: "No problem, I have made up my mind, I will make Concubine Xi the Imperial Concubine. The second day of February is an auspicious day, and it is appropriate to hold the canonization ceremony."

"I am deeply grateful. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace and Your Majesty, for your compassion." Zhen Huan thanked her respectfully.

The smile on Yixiu's face was fleeting. Although she felt mixed emotions, she didn't say much.

Then, Yinzhen announced: "In addition, Rong'er will be promoted to Consort Rou, Hui Guiren will be promoted to Concubine, Xin Changzai has followed me for many years, and she should also be promoted to Guiren. The promotion ceremony will be held on the same day."

Before she finished her words and Yixiu had no time to think carefully, she saw Su Peisheng hurriedly walk in from the door.

"Su Peisheng, what's the matter?" Yinzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, there is good news from the Yanx Palace. Concubine Zhen is pregnant with a royal heir." Su Peisheng replied respectfully.

When Yinzhen heard this, his face was immediately filled with joy, "Are you serious?"

"It is absolutely true. Imperial Doctor Wen personally diagnosed my pulse and confirmed it without a doubt." Su Peisheng answered affirmatively.

"This is a great joyous event in the palace." Zhen Huan also showed her joy and said sincerely.

"Congratulations, Noble Lady Zhen. This is a blessing for our palace." Although Yixiu's expression did not change, her words revealed joy.

"In that case, let's promote Concubine Zhen to the position of concubine." Yinzhen smiled, and then ordered, "I want to go and review the memorials, and then visit Concubine Zhen in the Yanxi Palace later. Concubine Xi will follow me to serve me with writing."

"I obey your command." Zhen Huan replied.

After Yinzhen left, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong bowed and took their leave one after another, leaving Mu Wanrou and Yixiu alone. Their eyes met with each other, and for a moment, they looked at each other in confusion, each with their own thoughts.

(Yanxi Palace)

Before Zhen Huan stepped into the threshold of Yixingxuan, bursts of clear and pleasant laughter had already drifted into her ears on the wind. It was Chun'er's unique and lively voice.

"Sister An, look, will the little one in my belly be as cute and adorable as me?" Chunyi asked expectantly.

An Lingrong smiled tenderly upon hearing this, and replied softly, "That's only natural. Our Chun'er is naturally beautiful and innocent. The baby in your belly will definitely inherit your beauty and grow up to be as lovely as you."

"Sister, you must bring Hongyang to play with me often. I really like him. He is so handsome, obedient and sensible." Chunyi happily expressed her love for Hongyang.

At this time, although Zhen Huan had not arrived yet, her voice had arrived first, and she asked in a playful tone: "Then is my child well-behaved?"

Before she finished her words, Chun Yi had already trotted forward and called out with a smile on her face, "Sister Zhen!"

Zhen Huan quickly reached out to support Chun Yi and said with a smile, "Oh, my little ancestor, you have to be careful. Your body is precious now and you can't run around."

Chunyi pouted when she heard this and said coquettishly, "Sister Zhen is just like Sister An, they both love to make fun of me."

At this time, Shen Meizhuang also joined the conversation. She pretended to be angry and joked, "Why? You only see your sister Zhen and have forgotten my sister Mei? I even brought some plum blossom pancakes, but it seems that I can only enjoy them by myself."

Upon hearing this, Chun Yi quickly grabbed Shen Meizhuang's sleeve and said anxiously, "How could that be, Sister Mei? I miss the delicious food you made day and night, the sweetness of the white corn cake, the crispness of the peach blossom cake, and the soft and delicious glutinous rice balls... I can't even count them all."

As she spoke, she actually counted on her fingers, as if she knew everything by heart, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm and joyful.
