Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

178 Wu Ya Cheng Bi Died

Empress Dowager Uya passed away peacefully with a faint smile on her face, as if all the troubles of the world had gone with the wind.

What Yinzhen said in front of the Empress Dowager's bed and the Empress Dowager Uya Chengbi's last words have become unsolved mysteries, and no one knows the details.

When Yinzhen stepped out of the inner room, a look of relief appeared on his face, as if some long-standing knot between him and his mother was resolved and relieved to some extent at this moment.

The death of Empress Dowager Wu Ya Chengbi brought deep grief to Shen Meizhuang.

Her heart was filled with sorrow, but because she was pregnant, she was unable to go to the coffin in person to mourn. This helplessness and regret was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to let go.

Shen Meizhuang knew very well that the Queen Mother was not only an elder in the palace, but also a relative who gave her care and protection.

Therefore, being unable to personally see the Queen Mother off on her final journey became an eternal pain and regret in her heart.

With the passing of Empress Dowager Uya Chengbi, Hongxian returned to his biological mother Shen Meizhuang, and Shen Meizhuang moved out of the familiar environment of Chunxi Palace and moved to the more solemn and dignified Chengqian Palace.

In fact, in the past year, Hongxian has spent most of his time under Shen Meizhuang's careful care, enjoying the warmth and protection of maternal love.

Yinzhen did not interfere in this matter. Instead, he acquiesced to it with an attitude of tolerance and understanding.

He knew very well that in the royal family, family affection and power were often intertwined, and it was a blessing for Hongxian to grow up healthily with Shen Meizhuang's company.

Now, with the passing of Wu Ya Chengbi, Hong Xian has officially returned to Shen Meizhuang. This is not only the best interpretation of the deep love between mother and son, but also a bright touch of royal warmth.

In Chengqian Palace, Shen Meizhuang will continue to nurture this future pillar of society with her kindness and wisdom.

On this day, the drizzle was like silk and continued without stopping. The tenderness of the spring rain seemed to gently wipe away the dullness and gloom in the palace for days.

The concubines from various palaces, dressed in light spring clothes, entered Jingren Palace early in the morning, performed the ancient etiquette of morning and evening visits, and paid their respects to the empress.

The palace gate opened slightly, and a burst of fresh and moist air rushed in, interweaving with the faint incense in the hall, creating a different kind of tranquility and harmony.

The concubines either walked lightly or talked in low voices, but the moment they stepped into the main hall, they all restrained their expressions and saluted respectfully to the queen, expressing their respect and obedience to the mistress of the harem.

(Jingren Palace)

Inside the Jingren Palace, Empress Yixiu sat on the phoenix throne, with a gentle face and dignified temperament. She glanced at the concubines below with a peaceful gaze, secretly pleased with this rare tranquility and order.

Regular visits to the emperor in the morning and evening are not only a reflection of the palace rules, but also a symbol of mutual respect and harmonious coexistence among concubines.

As the spring rain continued, everything in the palace seemed to be shrouded in a soft halo, and even the air was filled with a faint sense of spring and vitality.

And in this spring atmosphere, the concubines in the harem were also silently watching over their own destiny and future.

Yinzhen had just finished his morning court session and stepped into the world of the harem.

His arrival was like a spring breeze, instantly adding a bit of vitality and vigor to Jingren Palace.

Upon seeing this, the concubines all stood up and saluted, with smiles of surprise and joy on their faces.

Yinzhen walked into the hall and glanced at the concubines with gentle eyes. His arrival seemed to add a touch of brightness to this spring morning.

After a brief conversation with the queen, he turned around and greeted the concubines one by one, asking about their recent situation and mood.

Empress Yixiu answered with a gentle smile, her voice full of joking: "The Emperor really loves Concubine Xi's child. Even though they see each other every day, his concern for her remains the same. His father's love is like a mountain."

Zhen Huan raised the corners of her mouth, outlining a gentle arc, and responded: "Your Majesty is like this, and so am I. As a mother, I always worry about my children. Even if I see them every day, I always think about what I can do more for them."

She turned to look at An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang, her eyes full of concern: "Sister An and Sister Mei are also working hard. It's not easy to take care of the child while being pregnant."

An Lingrong smiled softly, her eyes gentle: "Sister, you are too kind. The children are relatively quiet in my belly and have not caused me too much trouble. It is Sister Huan who has to take care of the children and manage the affairs of the harem. It is really hard."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu glanced at Zhen Huan gently and said softly, "Imperial Concubine Xi is indeed a little haggard, which shows that the responsibility of being a mother is heavy, and her thoughts are naturally more profound."

Zhen Huan smiled slightly and said modestly: "Your Majesty is the mother of the country. How can I compare with her in terms of hard work? I am just doing my duty."

Yinzhen interrupted at this time, with a caring tone in his voice: "The Queen has been working hard for the Third Prince's studies all day, I think it must be very hard."

When Yixiu mentioned the third prince Hongshi, a trace of relief appeared on her face: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. The third prince is growing up and knows how to share the worries for father. I am very relieved."

Shen Meizhuang joined in at the right time, smiling as gentle as water: "Speaking of which, Hongxian has been studying very hard recently, and always said that he would help the emperor solve his problems. I wonder if the emperor has time to come to my palace and see Hongxian's progress?"

Yinzhen smiled when he heard this: "Since Mei'er has this intention, I will go to your place for lunch and test Hongxian's homework."

Shen Meizhuang was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly agreed: "I will order people to prepare it right away and will not let the emperor down."

Although Yixiu's heart was slightly disturbed, she still maintained that gentle and virtuous smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I have another piece of good news to report to you." Zhen Huan said with a smile.

"What a joyful thing it is? Could it be you, Huanhuan..." Yinzhen looked at Zhen Huan tenderly and asked softly.

Zhen Huan's cheeks were slightly red. "In fact, Chun Er has good news. Lord Wen has confirmed that she has been pregnant for more than two months."

"No wonder I didn't see her today, so that's why." Yinzhen suddenly realized.

"That's right. Ever since Chun'er found out she was pregnant, she has lost her appetite and has been suffering from acid reflux and vomiting every day. I feel very sorry for her." Zhen Huan continued.

At this moment, Yixiu's expression changed subtly for a moment, and then she smiled again and said, "It is really a cause for celebration. The Emperor has another child."

"Indeed, spring is back and everything is renewed. Chun'er's pregnancy at this time is indeed a good sign." Zhen Huan agreed with a smile.

Yinzhen nodded slightly when he heard this, "In that case, I will go and visit her in person."

"Your Majesty, taking advantage of this festive atmosphere, I would like to dare to plead for Concubine Gua. I hope Your Majesty can lift her confinement." Yixiu took the opportunity to speak out.

Yinzhen looked hesitant, but Zhen Huan was extremely magnanimous: "Your Majesty, Concubine Gua has been pregnant for nearly five months. I think she may have reflected deeply on her mistakes. Why not follow the Queen's mercy and let her go free?"

After hearing this, Yinzhen finally gave in: "Since both of you think so, I will give her another chance because she is pregnant. I will make a decision after she successfully gives birth to the heir."

Yixiu glanced at Zhen Huan secretly, and Zhen Huan responded with a faint smile, appearing unusually calm.

(Yongshou Palace)

"Huan'er, why did you agree to lift the ban on Guaerjia so easily today?" Shen Meizhuang asked with a little confusion.

"Don't worry, Sister Mei. I have my own plans. Since the Queen is so eager to see her free, then let's fulfill her wish. It is easier to prevent her from being in the public eye than to plot in secret." Zhen Huan answered calmly.

"Sister Huan is right. Lingrong accidentally passed by Chuxiu Palace that day and vaguely heard the slanderous words of the Guaerjia family. It was really outrageous." An Lingrong said with a sullen look on her face.

"Don't be angry anymore. You two are both pregnant now. It's not appropriate to have too much emotional fluctuations. You should rest more." Zhen Huan comforted gently.

"I spend the whole day resting in the Yanx Palace, fearing that the baby in my belly will be as lazy as me in the future." An Lingrong sighed softly.

"How could that be? If you come over to my place occasionally and sit and chat, it can help relieve boredom. Since Huanbi left, my palace has become much quieter, and I'm worried that no one will keep me company." Zhen Huan smiled and took An Lingrong's hand.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I dare to say one thing. If Your Majesty wants Concubine Rou and Concubine Hui to come to Yongshou Palace often to get together, just say it directly. Why be so modest? Did my suggestion a few days ago become empty talk in Your Majesty's eyes?" Liu Zhu interrupted at the right time, looking aggrieved.

"Oh, I'm so sorry for neglecting you, Liuzhu. How about this, you go to the kitchen later and help me prepare some snacks?" Zhen Huan quickly apologized and instructed.

"It should be the mercy of Her Majesty that she bestowed it upon me, why did you ask me to make something for you?" Liu Zhu turned slightly to the side with a teasing look on her face.

"Oh, my dear Liu Zhu, the snacks you make are even more delicious than those in the imperial kitchen. I just can't help but want to taste your cooking again." Zhen Huan said in a coquettish tone, her eyes sparkling with infinite admiration for Liu Zhu's cooking skills.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to give me any instructions. I have already prepared the date paste yam cake and rose milk pastry, and am waiting for you to taste them." Liu Zhu responded with a playful smile.

"Liu Zhu is becoming more and more considerate. After Huanbi leaves, I'm afraid you will have to take care of this palace more." Shen Meizhuang looked at Liu Zhu's departing back and smiled at Zhen Huan.

"Then I'll go and see how the snacks are prepared." Liu Zhu said, then turned around and left briskly.
