Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

130 Brother, Brother

That night, candlelight flickered in Yongshou Palace. Zhen Huan sat alone in front of the window, stroking an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, but ripples were forming in her heart.

She originally thought that Yinzhen would come here to accompany her as usual. After all, the palace affairs have been busy recently, and the time they spend together has become more and more precious.

However, until late at night, no footsteps were heard from Yinzhen.

Just when Zhen Huan was feeling a little disappointed, she unexpectedly learned that Yinzhen did not stay anywhere in the palace, but went to the Yanx Palace to visit Mu Wanrou, the noble lady who had not been seen for a long time because of her pregnancy.

This news was like ripples in the breeze, gently touching Zhen Huan's heart.

At first, Zhen Huan was indeed a little surprised. She had never expected that Yinzhen would choose to visit Mu Wanrou at this moment.

After all, although Yinzhen was very caring when she was pregnant, as time went by, that enthusiasm seemed to have gradually faded.

Now, Mu Wanrou was favored again, which made her feel a little emotional.

However, when Su Peisheng's voice sounded outside the palace gate, reporting Yinzhen's whereabouts, Zhen Huan truly realized that all this was true.

She sighed softly, put down the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.

She understood that in this deep palace, favor was like floating clouds, coming and going at random.

Although she was a noble concubine, she could not completely control the emperor's mind.

So, Zhen Huan sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, silently praying for the baby in her belly.

Le Dao Tang.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully pay my respects to you and pray for your good health and lasting blessings." Concubine Mu Wanrou said softly.

"Get up." Yinzhen slowly walked to the soft couch on the side and sat down calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It has been a long time since Your Majesty visited me. I secretly wondered if I had been forgotten by Your Majesty." Mu Wanrou, the noble lady, said in a gentle manner.

"How could this be? The truth is that state affairs have been so complicated recently that I am too busy to be with you all the time." Yinzhen responded calmly, revealing a hint of helplessness in his words.

"I am well aware of the hard work of Your Majesty, so I specially ordered people to prepare the nourishing tonic Dong'e Ejiao, hoping that it can relieve the emperor's fatigue." Concubine Shu Mu Wanrou whispered.

"Well, you are thoughtful." Yinzhen tasted a few bites and showed approval on his face.

Then he said softly: "I haven't heard your pleasant voice for a long time. Can you sing a song for me to relieve the loneliness in my heart?"

"I obey your command." After Shu Guiren Mu Wanrou agreed, she opened her red lips and a melodious song slowly flowed in the hall, like the sound of nature, intoxicating people.

The lingering sound was so pleasant to the ears. Yinzhen stared at the face in front of him. As he listened to the song, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the warm times in the palace in the past.

In the past, Rouze was the same. She used her clear and pleasant voice to dispel his fatigue and bring him spiritual comfort.

However, time has passed, things have changed, and although the warmth is still there, the people are no longer the same as they were back then. I can't help but feel an indescribable emotion in my heart.

When the song ended, Yinzhen seemed to still be immersed in the ocean of thoughts about the past and was unable to respond in time.

When Concubine Mu Wanrou saw this, she mistakenly thought that Yinzhen was still not satisfied, so she gently opened her lips and continued to sing a new song.

However, Yinzhen's heart was in turmoil. All the memories of Zhen Huan came flooding back to him, shocking and regretful. He wondered how he could have let down Chun Yuan's love and trust.

But then, Yinzhen recalled the heartfelt words that Zhen's mother said in the afternoon, and he gradually understood.

He knew very well that if Chunyuan was still alive, he would definitely hope that he could let go of the past, cherish the people in front of him, and not let the sadness continue to erode his heart.

At this moment, Concubine Mu Wanrou coughed lightly several times, breaking the silence in the room.

Yinzhen opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, his eyes full of tenderness and concern, and said softly: "Well, you are pregnant, you should rest more and go to bed early."

"Yes, I obey your order." Mu Wanrou, the noble lady, replied softly, her words revealing her dependence on and gratitude towards Yinzhen.

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the bedroom hand in hand and slept on the same pillow. The whole night was peaceful and harmonious, without any dreams to disturb them.

"Sister, I brought Hongyang to visit you." Concubine Rou An Lingrong said gently.

"Come in quickly." Zhen Huan greeted warmly with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"Hello, Empress Xi." Hongyang bowed and greeted like a little adult.

"Oh, Hongyang is really getting more sensible." Zhen Huan smiled lovingly, "Empress Xi has hidden some delicious sugar paste here, do you want to try it?"

"I do!" Hongyang answered without hesitation, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Zhen Huan then handed over a piece of sugar paste, Hong Yang took it, carefully peeled off the sugar wrapper, put the sugar paste into his mouth, and then smiled brightly: "So sweet!"

"Brother, brother." Hongzhou walked into the house unsteadily with childish steps, with an innocent look on his face.

"Brother, this is for you." Seeing this, Hongyang immediately generously shared the sugar paste in his hand. He looked so adorable.

"My brother is still young. He can't enjoy this candy paste now. He has to wait until he grows up a little bit." Concubine Rou An Lingrong explained gently, her eyes full of love for the two children.

Upon hearing this, Hongyang nodded sensibly, then took Hongzhou's little hand, and the two walked out together. The wet nurse followed closely behind, carefully taking care of the two lively and lovely little princes.

"Sister, there are dark circles under your eyes. Did you not get enough rest in the past two days?" Concubine Rou An Lingrong asked softly with a look of worry in her eyes.

"Alas, the little ones are a little noisy at night and always can't sleep well. Naturally, I, as a mother, also suffer as a result." Zhen Huan sighed softly, revealing a bit of helplessness and fatigue in her words.

However, her eyes were filled with deep love for the children, as if all the hard work had turned into sweet joy.

"I just heard that when the emperor visited my sister yesterday, he happened to meet Aunt Zhen?" Concubine Rou An Lingrong spoke softly, with curiosity glittering in her eyes.

"Yes, that's true." Zhen Huan responded calmly, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, "But we only sat for a short while before we left."

After saying this, she seemed not to want to talk about it any more and changed the subject elsewhere.

"Did the emperor mention anything to my aunt or sister at that time?" Concubine Rou An Lingrong asked with a hint of inquiry in her tone.

Zhen Huan shook her head gently and said with a smile: "It's nothing important, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Hearing this, Concubine Rou An Lingrong's face flashed with relief, and then she said softly, "I just think that my sister is so beautiful and looks quite similar to my aunt, so I am a little curious about the emperor's reaction."

Zhen Huan understood An Lingrong's intention when she heard this. She gently patted the back of Concubine Rou's hand and comforted her, "I know what you said, and you don't need to worry too much about me. I have my own plan for dealing with it."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Concubine Rou An Lingrong felt relieved and said with a smile, "Since you have understood, I am relieved too."
