Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

002 Three sisters enter the palace together

【Forbidden City】

As soon as the sky began to turn pale, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong got up early, washed and dressed carefully, and waited quietly for the arrival of the sedan chair.

As the sedan chair slowly drove over, the two men sat on their respective sedan chairs. Then the bearers carried the sedan chairs steadily and slowly moved towards the palace gate.

-

At the side door of Shunzhen Gate, the sedan bearers stopped, the sedan landed quietly, and Huanbi quietly lifted a corner of the curtain.

She whispered softly, "Miss, we are here."

Zhen Huan looked around with mixed feelings, and the figures of An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang came into view.

"Sister Mei." Zhen Huan stepped forward and held Shen Meizhuang's hands tightly. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes and she could not control herself.

To her, Sister Mei is undoubtedly the closest and most precious person in the world.

Seeing Zhen Huan's eyes redden, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but wonder, "Huan'er, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Zhen Huan wiped her eyes and said softly, "I just feel that I haven't seen my sister for a long time. I miss her so much that I can't help myself."

Shen Meizhuang said to Zhen Huan in a joking tone: "Silly girl, once you enter the palace, we will have to see each other every day. Don't find me annoying by then."

Zhen Huan smiled softly and responded, "Of course not, I look forward to meeting you every day."

"My dear ladies, now is not the time for idle chat. Your eunuch will lead you to your respective residences later. After you are settled, you can reminisce about the past." Fang Ruo said solemnly.

The eunuch also echoed, "The residences of the ladies in each palace have been properly arranged."

At this moment, Aunt Fangruo suddenly turned to everyone and asked, "Which palace does Wan Changzai live in now?"

A eunuch immediately responded: "Aunt, Wan Changzai is now living in Suiyuxuan."

Hearing this, Aunt Fangruo's face stiffened slightly, looking quite unnatural.

Zhen Huan was a thoughtful person and naturally did not miss this detail, but she did not show too much emotion. She already knew in her heart that although all this was the work of Concubine Hua, the Queen must have been behind it as well.

However, for her, these were things she had already known in her previous life, so she did not take it to heart and just continued to talk with everyone calmly.

After a long walk, Zhen Huan, Huanbi, Liuzhu and their group finally arrived at a place called Sui Yuxuan.

Led by the eunuch, they walked in slowly. Before that, Jinxi, Kang Luhai and others had been waiting in front of the door of the inner room of Suiyuxuan, awaiting their arrival.

Stepping into the inner room, Zhen Huan gazed at this place that she was so familiar with, with endless thoughts welling up in her heart.

Zhen Huan had just sat down, Liu Zhu and Huan Bi stood by her side. Kang Lu Hai still had a fawning look on his face. He bowed and said, "I am Kang Lu Hai, the chief eunuch of Sui Yu Xuan. I pay my respects to Concubine Wan. I wish you good health and good luck."

"I'm Cui Jinxi, the head maid in Suiyuxuan, and I've also come to see Concubine Wan. I wish you success in everything and a long and happy life." Zhen Huan looked at Cui Jinxi, with a thousand words in her heart but she didn't know where to start.

"Please all stand up." Zhen Huan said calmly.

"Thank you, Madam Xie." Everyone responded in unison.

"From now on you are mine. When you work in my palace, being smart and clever is important, but loyalty and sincerity are more important." Zhen Huan further emphasized.

"Your servants will follow your instructions." Everyone answered in unison.

Zhen Huan gestured to Huanbi and said softly, "Give me a reward."

Huanbi then took out a bag of silver and handed it to Kang Luhai. After he took the silver, a bright smile broke out on his face, like a blooming flower.

However, Zhen Huan couldn't help feeling annoyed when she saw Kang Luhai's flattering appearance. She secretly decided to find a suitable excuse to send him away as soon as possible.

"You all should leave now. Liuzhu and Huanbi will stay and serve." Zhen Huan said to everyone. Everyone responded and left the inner room one after another.

-

Zhen Huan moved to the couch and sat down, while Huanbi and Liuzhu also sat next to her on the footstool.

Liu Zhu sighed and said, "The rules of this palace are so numerous and complicated. What happened just now really frightened me, but this palace is really beautiful."

After hearing this, Huanbi reminded her, "You must be careful and cautious, and don't make any mistakes due to negligence."

"You two came into the palace with me, so your words and actions represent me. Therefore, you must be extra cautious and not be negligent in any way, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Zhen Huan said solemnly.

Liu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

"Liu Zhu, if you just control your talkative mouth a little, everything will be fine." Huanbi said with a teasing tone.

"Hateful~" Liuzhu and Huanbi were playing around.

Zhen Huan added seriously: "Although Liu Zhu is outspoken, she also has her lovable side. After entering this deep palace, the three of us must work together and support each other so that we can be more cautious."

Huanbi and Liuzhu nodded and said, "We understand."

"You two have grown up with me since childhood, and now you have entered this deep palace together. In this palace, if even the people around me are not trustworthy, then I will be like walking on thin ice, and I may fall into the abyss if I am not careful." Zhen Huan said earnestly.

Liu Zhu's eyes flashed with determination, and she replied, "I know very well that the young lady treats us like her own sisters. Huanbi and I will swear to protect the young lady and not let her come to any harm."

Zhen Huan stared at Liu Zhu, and couldn't help feeling sad when she recalled her early departure in her previous life.

Then he came to his senses and said gently: "You protected me, so I will do my best to protect you and not let you be bullied by anyone."

Huanbi also said solemnly: "My lady, please rest assured that we will always be by your side and face the ups and downs in the palace together."

The three sisters, just like in their previous life, held their hands tightly together and stared at each other, their eyes full of trust and dependence.

-

At dawn the next day, palace maids such as Huanbi, Jinxi and Pei'er stood respectfully beside Zhen Huan, taking care of everything for her carefully.

At this time, Kang Luhai hurriedly entered the inner room and came to report with the news: "My lady, the Queen's personal maid, Aunt Jianqiu, has just delivered a gift and conveyed the Queen's oral instructions. Please come to Jingren Palace on time at 11:00 in three days to see the Queen."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly, her face calm: "I understand."

She knew the palace rules very well and did not dare to neglect the Queen's invitation in the slightest.

Kang Luhai added: "In addition, the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace, Eunuch Zhou, has also arrived and is waiting outside."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan did not show too much surprise, but just said calmly: "Go tell Eunuch Zhou that I will be there later."

"Yes, I obey your command." Kang Luhai responded and went to the front hall to convey Zhen Huan's intention.

Jing Xi whispered softly in Zhen Huan's ear: "Yikun Palace is the residence of Concubine Hua. The power in the palace is now clearly divided. The Empress and Concubine Hua are fighting each other and are evenly matched. My lady must not neglect them."

"I understand." Zhen Huan understood clearly.

Zhen Huan soon walked into the front hall and sat down in a chair.

Zhou Ninghai then stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "I pay my respects to the Minister Wan."

Zhen Huan nodded slightly, "Sorry for the long wait, Eunuch Zhou."

Zhou Ninghai then said, "Empress Hua specially ordered me to come here to present some gifts to the concubine." He then signaled the people behind him to present the gifts.

Zhen Huan naturally had to behave properly, "Thank you for the generous gift, Your Majesty. I'd like to convey my gratitude to Your Majesty. Would you be willing to stay and have tea with me?"

Zhou Ninghai hurriedly shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but the Majesty's rules are very strict. I still need to continue to deliver rewards to other young ladies, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."

Zhen Huan nodded to show her understanding and gestured to Huanbi to give her a reward.

Zhou Ninghai took the silver and bowed respectfully, "Then I will take my leave now."

Zhen Huan nodded again, signaling Zhou Ninghai to leave. Jin Xi and the others also left, and Liu Zhu trotted in.

She looked at the rewards piled on the table and couldn't help but say in surprise, "It turns out that Concubine Shen's rewards are as much as yours. When I passed by the Yanxi Palace just now, I only saw Concubine Fucha and Concubine Xia had such rewards."

After hearing this, Huanbi frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that the generous reward given by Concubine Hua this time is not just to express her favor, but more like to see who has the background and deliberately win people's hearts, right?"

Zhen Huan looked around to make sure there were no strangers around, then said softly, "We just need to understand these words in our hearts, and don't need to speak them out easily. Things in the palace are often much more complicated than they seem on the surface."
