Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

060 A line of kites

(Yikun Palace)

Nian Shilan and Cao Qinmo were sitting on the couch, with Cao Qinmo holding Princess Wen Yi tightly in her arms.

Nian Shilan said with indignation on her face: "My mother is a third-rank imperial lady, and now that Wanpin has also achieved such an honor."

She continued angrily, "A few days ago, I wanted to ask the Emperor to promote my mother to the second rank, but the Empress blocked it for no reason."

Seeing this, Cao Qinmo gently comforted: "My queen, don't be angry."

Nian Shilan sneered and said sarcastically, "It's the same as giving birth to a child, why can others get promoted and be given a higher title as a mother, while you are still just a small noble."

Cao Qinmo smiled and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has you in his heart. Just look at the dignity of the Yikun Palace and the gift of Huanyi Incense, and that is enough to prove it."

Songzhi quickly brought out a Boshan incense burner, which contained the refreshing Huanyi incense.

As soon as Nian Shilan smelled the fragrance, her mood immediately improved.

Cao Qinmo took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, this incense was given by the Emperor himself. It is unique to you, Your Majesty."

The fragrance of Huanyi incense rose from the Boshan stove. Nian Shilan took a deep breath, and the annoyance in her heart seemed to be slowly soothed by the fragrance.

She looked at Cao Qinmo, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"You're right." Nian Shilan's voice returned to calm. "Although my mother failed to get promoted, no one can shake my position. It's just that..."

She frowned slightly, "It's better to get rid of Wanpin as soon as possible."

Cao Qinmo smiled slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, things in the palace are always changing. Although Wanpin has been promoted, her status is only temporary. As long as you maintain the emperor's favor, who in the harem can compete with you?"

Nian Shilan nodded, a sharp look flashed in her eyes. She looked at Princess Wen Yi, and a feeling of tenderness surged in her heart.

She reached out her hand and gently stroked Princess Wen Yi's delicate cheek, her eyes gleaming with maternal love, and said softly: "When I have my own children, they will definitely become the most outstanding one in the harem in the future."

Seeing this, Cao Qinmo also smiled and agreed: "Your Majesty's child will definitely inherit your beauty and wisdom, and will be deeply loved by the emperor."

(Smashed Jade Pavilion)

As summer approaches, Zhen Huan has been pregnant for three months.

She just felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and her appetite was also declining.

Fang Chunyi remained the same as usual, taking the trouble to accompany Zhen Huan and An Lingrong and entertain them.

Seeing Zhen Huan and An Lingrong sitting in silence, Fang Chunyi suggested excitedly, "It's sunny today, sisters, why don't you accompany me to fly a kite? I specially kept two beautiful kites like the ones for sister Wan's birthday a few days ago."

Zhen Huan couldn't help but get nervous when she heard this, but on the surface she smiled and responded as usual: "You girl, you are always so lively and active, you can't be quiet for a moment. I heard that you were playing dice in your own palace yesterday, and you broke the enamel vase that the emperor gave you as a reward."

Fang Chunyi stuck out her tongue playfully and said nonchalantly, "The emperor loves me so much, he won't blame me."

An Lingrong looked at Fang Chunyi lovingly and said with a smile, "I really want to go out with you to fly a kite, but I have been feeling a little unwell these past two days."

Fang Chunyi asked with concern: "Has Sister An seen the imperial physician?"

An Lingrong nodded and said, "I checked it out. The imperial physician said that it was nothing serious. It might be because she was about to give birth and I was a little too nervous."

Fang Chunyi smiled and joked, "Sister An, you should go out more often and exercise, otherwise what will happen if my nephew becomes lazy like you in the future? We don't want to raise a lazy boy."

Zhen Huan couldn't help laughing at Fang Chunyi's words. She looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly and the spring scenery was alluring. It was indeed a good day for an outing.

However, thinking of the misfortune Chun'er encountered in her previous life at the rockery, where she was killed by someone beside the lotus pond, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

So, she thought for a moment and said, "Chun'er, you are right. We should go out for a walk, but the sun is scorching now. Why don't we go later? It will be cooler and safer then."

Huanbi carefully observed Zhen Huan's worries and suggested, "My lady, why don't we fly a kite near Suiyuxuan? The scenery there is beautiful and it is close to our residence. It is convenient and safe, and we don't want to cause any trouble."

Zhen Huan thought Huanbi's suggestion was very thoughtful, so she nodded in agreement.

So, the three of them decided to fly kites near Suiyuxuan and enjoy this rare spring time.

(Meditation Pavilion)

A few people walked to Jingxin Pavilion, which was not far from Suiyuxuan. It was shaded by green trees and cool.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, sipping tea and leisurely watching Fang Chunyi flying a kite in the open space outside the pavilion.

Fang Chunyi ran happily, holding the kite string in his hand. The kite fluttered in the wind like a freely flying bird.

Her laughter was clear and pleasant, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this quiet afternoon.

"Sisters, do you think I fly my kite well?" Fang Chunyi turned around and asked expectantly, her eyes sparkling with childlike innocence and joy.

"Very good." Zhen Huan and An Lingrong answered in unison. Their eyes followed the silhouette of the kite flying in the sky, and smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.

When Zhen Huan saw Fang Chunyi's happy face, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

She thought of her youth, when she had also been so carefree, flying kites in open spaces.

"When I was at home, my favorite thing was flying kites." Fang Chunyi recalled the past with an innocent smile on his face.

Zhen Huan smiled and continued, "That's right. Your kite-flying skills are so good that the emperor knows about it. He even said that after the Dragon Boat Festival, he will make you a noble lady."

Fang Chunyi was extremely happy when she heard this. She turned around and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty likes my sisters, and he likes me too, right?"

Zhen Huan nodded gently and replied, "Yes, we all like you. You are lively, cute, innocent, and always bring joy to everyone."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Fang Chunyi felt warm in her heart. She felt as if she was loved by everyone.

"Sister, do you like flying kites?" Fang Chunyi asked Zhen Huan curiously.

Zhen Huan smiled and nodded: "I like it. When I was a child, after practicing housework at home, I often asked Sister Mei to go out to fly kites together. The sky was always very blue at that time, and the kites flew very high."

"Then when your sisters' children grow up, I will also take them to fly kites together." Fang Chunyi said eagerly, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene.

"Okay." Zhen Huan smiled indulgently.

An Lingrong heard this and also interrupted, "If I gave birth to a princess, I hope she can be as lively and lovely as Chun'er. That would be great."

Fang Chunyi smiled even brighter after hearing what An Lingrong said: "Then I can play with my sisters' children and fly kites together. How fun that would be!"

The imaginations of the three people intertwined in the air, sketching out warm and happy pictures.

During this brief period of time, they seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the palace and only focused on the beauty and tranquility before their eyes.
