Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

149 Some are happy, some are sad

(Chuxiu Palace)

Huanfu Hall.

"My lady, this situation is really strange. The emperor clearly promised to have dinner with you in the evening, so why did he suddenly forbid you from entering and leaving Chuxiu Palace?" Yue Xin asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yuexin, tell me again in detail every detail of what happened in the Yangxin Palace just now. Make sure there are no omissions." Li Changzai and Li Ying instructed solemnly.

Yue Xin followed his instructions and repeated the conversation and scene in Yangxin Palace exactly. At the end, she added: "After thinking it over again and again, it seems that there is nothing wrong."

"Empress?" Li Ying frowned upon hearing this. "You mean, when you went to report to the Emperor, the Empress was also present?"

Yue Xin nodded and confirmed: "That's right, young lady. The Empress was drinking soup with the Emperor at that time. When I went in, I was afraid of disturbing the Emperor and the Empress's enjoyment."

"This is the crux of the matter. It must have been done by the Queen." Li Ying's tone was full of certainty.

"But my master, the Queen doesn't know that you are pregnant with a dragon, so why would she cause trouble for no reason?" Yue Xin asked puzzled.

"Yuexin, you are too naive, or perhaps I am too naive. I thought that I could bribe Doctor Xu with just a little money to make him keep his mouth shut. Now it seems that Doctor Xu is clearly the Queen's man." Li Ying smiled bitterly, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.

"Then young master, what should we do next?" Yue Xin asked anxiously.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the child can be born safely, we will have a chance to make a comeback." Li Ying's eyes were firm, and her tone revealed her expectations for the future. "Right now, we can only pray to God for his blessing and for this child to come into this world safely."

(Yongshou Palace)

"Sister, I had the honor of meeting the prince in the palace two days ago." Huanbi whispered softly.

"Isn't this a good thing? You always talk about wanting to see him, but why are you unhappy now that you have seen him?" Zhen Huan asked with concern.

Huanbi shook her head gently, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes: "It's not that I'm unhappy, but I feel that the prince's treatment of me this time is far less warm than in the past, which makes me feel that my affection has become a joke."

"How could this be? Was there some conflict in your words last time? Or was there some other reason?" Zhen Huan tried to find out the reason.

"What other reason could there be? After all, he is a high and mighty prince, and I am just a maid. Our statuses are so different, so we should be separated." Huanbi forced a smile, her words revealing helplessness and relief. "But it's good this way, so that I can stay by my elder sister's side without distraction and serve her wholeheartedly."

Zhen Huan knew very well what she was feeling, but this was not the right time to have a deep conversation, so she had to put it aside for the time being.

At this moment, Xiao Yunzi's respectful voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the concubine of Zhongcui Palace is asking for an audience."

The two sisters exchanged glances quickly, and Huanbi immediately stood up, put on a gentle smile, and prepared to leave.

"Let her wait in the main hall for a while, I will be there soon." Zhen Huan ordered.

"In compliance with Her Majesty's order, I will pass on the message right away." Xiao Yunzi responded and withdrew.

Zhen Huan turned to Huanbi and said, "Now that we have come to this, let nature take its course. People who are destined to be together will meet sooner or later. You go back to your room and rest. I will let Jingxi accompany me."

"Yes, elder sister." Huanbi responded, turned and left, with a bit of loneliness and determination in her back.

-

Zhen Huan was wearing an elegant light yellow cheongsam with delicate rose-red patterns embroidered on the sleeves, just like a lotus blooming in the morning light, fresh yet luxurious.

The flower ornament she wore in her hair was inlaid with a dazzling ruby ​​in the center, shining like the first ray of sunlight in the morning.

Two delicate light purple flowers are adorned on each side, which complement the overall outfit and highlight its gentle yet elegant temperament.

The earrings made of red agate gently swayed on her earlobes. The warm color contrasted with her skin tone, adding a bit of charm and style.

Zhen Huan dressed like this is truly charming. She exudes indescribable charm with every step she takes. She is so beautiful that it seems to be able to capture people's hearts and make people unforgettable at first sight.

"I was afraid that I had kept you waiting for too long, so I tidied things up a bit. I didn't expect that I was still a little late. I hope you won't blame me." Zhen Huan responded with her gentle smile, her words full of humility and thoughtfulness.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. I have just arrived here and it is my honor to see your beauty." Fan Ruowan bowed respectfully again, her words full of respect and humility. "Your Highness is naturally beautiful. After seeing you today, I feel that your beauty is beyond words. I really admire you."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan covered her lips lightly, and laughed as clear and sweet as a silver bell, "Mrs. Chang Zai is really sweet-mouthed. I feel embarrassed by what you said. I wonder if you have come to visit me today, in addition to thanking me for the reward last time, or if you have anything else to discuss with me?"

Fan Ruowan gently stood up and bowed again to show respect. "Your Majesty, please understand. I came here to express my gratitude. Your reward not only makes me feel honored, but also makes me feel your care and love. I am deeply grateful and came here to thank you in person."

Zhen Huan's eyes swept across Fan Ruowan gently and carefully, and she secretly admired in her heart that there were indeed some similarities between this girl and herself in her eyebrows and eyes, with a gentleness and a bit of spirituality.

She was wearing a light blue cheongsam, the color of which was elegant yet fresh, which complemented her temperament.

Looking more closely, the exquisite hairpin on Fan Ruowan's head, the swaying pendant on her ear, and the warm bracelet on her wrist were all given by Zhen Huan in the past. Each piece was carefully selected, and now worn on her, she looks even more dignified and beautiful.

"You are too polite. I am very pleased to see that you like them. Although these items are not expensive, they are all my thoughts. If you like them, it will be worth my trouble to select them." Zhen Huan's words were full of sincerity and care.

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruowan's face blossomed into an even more gentle smile, which was more sincere and intimate. She said softly, "When I first met the Imperial Concubine, I felt that she was kind and lovely, just like a warm sister at home. I wonder if I have the honor to call her sister?"

As the saying goes: Don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan smiled and responded, "I am very happy that my sister is so kind to me. Since my sister is willing, we can call each other sisters and support each other in the future."

After hearing this, Fan Ruowan's eyes flashed with gratitude. She bowed again and said sincerely: "I am so lucky to have your appreciation and protection. I will do my best to help you in the future. Although my ability is limited, I am willing to do my best."

Zhen Huan nodded gently, her eyes full of relief and encouragement: "Since my sister has this kind thought, I am very satisfied."

Shen Meizhuang walked in lightly, wearing a light pink cheongsam, looking gentle yet energetic. The tassels on the head of the cheongsam swayed gently with her steps, adding a bit of agility to her.

Her face was rosy and she looked energetic, obviously she had recovered very well after giving birth.

"Sister Mei, why are you going out so soon? Your health is important. If there is anything, send Caiyue to tell me. It is the same if I come to find you." When Zhen Huan saw Shen Meizhuang, she stepped forward to ask with concern, and quickly ordered the palace servants to prepare tea and fruits as a welcome.

Shen Meizhuang smiled and shook her head, saying: "I'm not that delicate. It's boring to stay in the house all day. I come to your place to avoid the limelight. I'm going to move into Chengqian Palace in two days. It's very lively there, and I'm afraid there will be a long line of people flattering me." Her words revealed a bit of helplessness and ridicule.

When Zhen Huan heard this, she felt a little worried, but she was more happy for Shen Meizhuang's upcoming promotion.

"Sister Mei, this is a great joyous event! But this Chengqian Palace is indeed a prosperous place in the palace. You must take good care of yourself and don't let those trivial matters disturb your mind."

Shen Meizhuang sighed softly, held Zhen Huan's hand and said, "You really understand me. Life in the palace is not easy. However, with you around, I always feel more at ease."

Zhen Huan saw Shen Meizhuang's serious expression. Although she was puzzled, she knew that she must have something important to discuss with her, so she asked softly, "Sister, is there something urgent that you came here for today? You seem so worried."

Shen Meizhuang nodded slightly and signaled the palace servants to leave.

When the door closed and only the two sisters were left in the room, she slowly spoke: "Xian'er is fine. I came here because I was worried about you."

Zhen Huan felt warm at heart when she heard this, and then smiled and said, "Sister, you worry too much. I'm fine. What could possibly happen?"

Shen Meizhuang's eyes were gentle but firm. She shook her head gently: "Huan'er, you and I have been sisters for many years. How could I not know what you were thinking? When I gave birth that day, although you tried your best to hide it, I saw your anxiety and uneasiness. You must have encountered some difficulties and didn't want me to be distracted, right?"

Zhen Huan saw that Shen Meizhuang had seen through everything, and she was touched but helpless. She could only sigh and slowly tell the truth: "Sister, I actually had a nightmare that day. I dreamed that you were bleeding and having a difficult labor. I was terrified. After waking up, I still felt scared, afraid that the dream would become reality."

Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she smiled helplessly and said, "Silly girl, dreams are illusions, how can you take them seriously? Have you read all the books you usually read in vain? How could you be trapped by a dream?"

Zhen Huan lowered her head and softly defended herself, "Sister, that dream was too real for me to stop worrying. Now that I see you and your child are safe, I can finally put my worries to rest."

Shen Meizhuang reached out and held Zhen Huan's hand, and gently comforted her: "Okay, I'm fine now, you should rest assured. We two sisters still have to watch the children grow up together and enjoy our old age. If there is anything in the future, don't bear it alone. Remember that I am your sister."

Zhen Huan nodded, her eyes slightly red, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Sister, thank you, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."
