Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

015 Huanbi and Yunli meet for the first time

(Yikun Palace)

At this moment, Hua Fei's face looked exhausted, but anger was still flowing between her brows.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't worry about this matter anymore." Songzhi comforted softly.

Hua Fei's brows were furrowed, and her tone was full of helplessness: "How can I not be angry? I worked so hard to plan a plan to get rid of Zhen Huan in one fell swoop, but she escaped so easily."

Cao Qinmo also looked confused: "My queen, I don't understand how Zhen Huan could have noticed it. Xiao Dezi did bury something that night, but he mysteriously disappeared last night."

At this moment, Concubine Hua had no intention of listening to Cao Qinmo's explanation. She felt an indescribable anger in her heart.

"The Emperor has now restricted me from leaving the Yikun Palace. Isn't this clearly a statement of wanting to put me under house arrest?" There was some dissatisfaction in Concubine Hua's voice.

Cao Qinmo hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. The Emperor still has feelings for you, and your share has not been reduced, so how could he treat you like this?"

"How could it not be? The emperor's current attitude shows that he is suspicious of me, doesn't it?" There was resentment in Concubine Hua's eyes.

Cao Qin thought for a moment and suggested, "Your Majesty, I have a plan. We can push Xiao Dezi out and let him take responsibility for this matter."

Hua Fei hesitated: "Will this work?"

Cao Qinmo said firmly: "It will definitely work. He has family outside the palace, so he will naturally have some concerns."

Hua Fei sighed and finally nodded: "This is the only way."

When Cao Qinmo saw that Concubine Hua agreed, he felt relieved and left Yikun Palace.

That night, Cao Qinmo immediately assigned Yinxiu to find Xiao Dezi. Xiao Dezi knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, taking on all the responsibilities alone.

Upon learning of this, Yinzhen was furious and immediately ordered Xiao Dezi to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment for severe torture.

The next day, Yinzhen went to Yiku Palace in person to visit Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua pretended to be weak and helpless, and confided to the emperor how she was framed innocently.

Yinzhen felt sympathy when he saw this, so he comforted her softly, released her from house arrest, and promised her that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and give her justice.

However, not long after, Xiao Dezi could not stand the severe torture in the Ministry of Punishment and bit his tongue to commit suicide. Everyone was saying that he "committed suicide because of his crime", and the storm subsided without any follow-up.

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong walked into the room together. Zhen Huan understood that their arrival was related to Concubine Hua's recent situation.

Zhen Huan said to Shen Meizhuang in a gentle tone: "Sister Mei, why are you so angry about this? Be careful not to get sick from anger."

"Sister Zhen, why was Concubine Hua able to lift the house arrest so easily?" An Lingrong asked puzzledly.

Zhen Huan sighed and explained, "The scapegoat has appeared. The emperor will naturally find a reason to release Hua Fei. Don't forget that Hua Fei's brother is still serving the court on the battlefield."

Shen Meizhuang was indignant after hearing this: "Can we just let this matter go? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this was actually a play directed and performed by Concubine Hua herself."

Zhen Huan quickly reminded her: "Sister Mei, please be careful with your words. The emperor has already made a conclusion and said that the culprit is Xiao Dezi, so it must be Xiao Dezi."

(Imperial Garden)

At this moment, Huanbi was alone in a quiet corner, practicing the Jinghong Dance taught to her by Zhen Huan with great concentration.

After Zhen Huan's patient guidance and meticulous teaching, Huanbi's dancing has become graceful and moving. Every movement is like a carefully crafted work of art, full of flavor and charm, reaching the level of perfection.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly rang out, like a clear spring flowing, like a spring breeze blowing on your face.

After a brief moment of daze, Huanbi quickly immersed herself in the beautiful melody, and her dance steps followed suit, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon.

After the dance, Prince Guo Yunli came forward, his eyes sparkling with admiration, clapping his hands and praising, "The girl's dancing is truly the most wonderful in the world, like a fairy descending to earth, it is breathtaking."

Huanbi turned around and saw a man standing in front of her. She looked at him carefully and found that he looked familiar. Prince Guo Yunli also recognized Huanbi. He unconsciously stroked the sachet on his waist, as if recalling something.

"May I know who you are?" Huanbi asked with some doubt.

Yunli smiled slightly and replied, "My young master is Prince Guo. My young lady, I am honored to meet you."

When Huanbi heard this, she immediately recognized this royal noble and hurriedly bowed and said, "Are you Prince Guo? This servant greets Prince Guo. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Yunli waved his hand and said gently, "No need to be polite. The young lady dances beautifully and I was attracted by her for a moment. I apologize for disturbing you."

Huanbi bowed her head slightly and said humbly, "Your Majesty, I am too kind to praise you. I just practiced dancing when I had nothing to do."

Yunli nodded, his eyes showing his admiration for Huanbi. He carefully looked at Huanbi again and said with a smile, "The girl looks familiar. I feel like I have seen her somewhere before."

After hearing this, Huanbi couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, and responded playfully: "Is this how the prince always chats up girls?"

Huanbi's smile was like a spring breeze, which made Yunli's heart stir a little.

He wanted to say something, but at this moment, A Jin came over and broke the moment of silence.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has woken up and said she wants to see you." A Jin said respectfully.

Prince Guo Yunli nodded, turned to look at Huanbi, nodded slightly and said: "Then I will take my leave first."

Huanbi also bowed immediately and responded respectfully: "This servant respectfully sends you off, Your Majesty."

Looking at Prince Guo's departing back, Huanbi couldn't help but feel a little moved.

This prince is not only of noble status, but also gentle and elegant, which makes people respect him.

She shook her head gently, trying to put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, but that inexplicable feeling was like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting in her heart.

Huanbi returned to Suiyuxuan, her mood as bright as the spring sunshine. Liuzhu noticed her change and asked curiously: "Huanbi, where did you come back from? Why are you so happy?"

Huanbi smiled shyly, did not answer directly, but ran away.

Zhen Huan was quietly observing all this in the corridor, with some vague guesses in her mind.

In the evening, she specially called Huanbi into the house. At this time, there were only the two sisters in the house.

"Huanbi, I see that you seem very happy today, is there any good news?" Zhen Huan asked softly.

Huanbi lowered her head slightly, the blush on her face becoming more obvious, and she answered softly: "Eldest sister, I met someone when I was practicing dancing in the Imperial Garden today."

Zhen Huan smiled gently and asked, "But is it a man?"

"Yes." Huanbi nodded.

"Is it the prince?" Zhen Huan asked with a hint of certainty in her tone.

Huanbi raised her head and looked at Zhen Huan in surprise: "Sister, you are really as predictable as a god. How can you guess everything?"

Zhen Huan calmly shook her head and asked, "Huanbi, did you have a conversation?"

Huanbi shook her head, but her face was filled with a happy smile: "No, the prince just praised my dancing and played a flute for me."

Zhen Huan had mixed feelings at this moment. She was happy for Huanbi's happiness, but also worried about her future.

She asked softly, "Do you have a good impression of the prince?"

Huanbi lowered her head slightly, with a hint of shyness in her voice: "Eldest sister, if you say I'm not moved, that's a lie. It's just that I know that I'm of humble status and dare not pursue someone higher than me. As long as I can look at him silently, that's enough."

Zhen Huan held Huanbi's hand and said gently, "Don't be discouraged. Status does not determine everything. There are too many variables in the palace. Maybe one day, you and he will be together for life. You must believe in yourself and also believe in fate."

-

After that, Huanbi often practiced dancing in the imperial garden, looking forward to meeting Prince Guo again.

Prince Guo would always "accidentally" come to the Imperial Garden and silently admire Huanbi's dance.

Although the two did not talk much, their tacit understanding with each other grew deeper and deeper.
