Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

083 The time of delivery is approaching

In March, when everything comes back to life, the palace has also experienced a big disturbance - the incident of Prince Dun beating Zhang Lin. Finally, with the efforts and mediation of Yixiu, the situation has gradually calmed down.

Although the storm has passed, its aftermath still makes people feel uneasy, especially Zhen Huan. Although she is in the harem, she is also worried about this sudden change.

At the same time, Zhen Huan was nine months pregnant and was about to welcome the birth of a new life.

This should have been a happy event for everyone in the palace to celebrate, but it made Yinzhen even more worried.

He knew very well that Zhen Huan had a weak constitution and had experienced many twists and turns, and he was afraid that she would make any mistake at this critical moment.

Therefore, Yinzhen not only strengthened the protection of the harem guards, but also specially arranged the top imperial physician (Wen Shichu) and midwife to always stay by Zhen Huan's side to ensure that everything was safe.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Yinzhen would always quietly come to Zhen Huan's bedroom, sit beside the bed, gently stroke her bulging belly, and speak softly to the baby in her belly, as if this could convey to him strength and blessings.

And Zhen Huan always looked at Yinzhen with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude and tenderness.

(Hall of Mental Cultivation)

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. An Lingrong and Zhen Huan walked hand in hand to the outside of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Inside the hall, Yinzhen was immersed in the world of ink, writing carefully, stroke by stroke.

The scent of ink and ambergris intertwined to create a tranquil and solemn atmosphere.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan smiled at each other, gently adjusted their clothes, and then slowly walked into the palace.

They walked lightly, fearing to disturb Yinzhen's enjoyment.

However, Yinzhen seemed to have sensed their arrival. The pen in his hand paused slightly, then he raised his head and looked towards the door, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and long life." An Lingrong and Zhen Huan bowed in unison, their voices gentle and respectful.

Yinzhen put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked towards them with a smile, and said, "No need to be polite. Why did you think of coming to see me today?"

Zhen Huan smiled and replied, "My concubine and Sister An have not seen the emperor for a long time. We miss him very much, so we agreed to come together to visit the emperor. Moreover, my due date is approaching, and I also want to take this opportunity to go out more."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's eyes fell gently on Zhen Huan's abdomen and he said softly, "Huan Huan, you have worked hard. I know that you must have suffered a lot for the baby in your belly during this period of time."

"As long as it's for the emperor and the baby in my belly, I don't feel any hardship." Zhen Huan looked at Yinzhen affectionately, with a maternal light shining in her eyes.

She gently took An Lingrong's hand and brought her to Yinzhen, showing her the tiger-head hat that An Lingrong had carefully sewn. "Your Majesty, look, Sister An is really clever and skillful. This tiger-head hat is so delicate and cute. Don't you think it looks good?"

Yinzhen carefully examined the tiger-head hat and praised it, "It is indeed exquisite. I like it very much, but..."

He deliberately prolonged his voice, causing Zhen Huan and An Lingrong to look at him curiously, "Why are there none of mine?" There was a hint of joking in his words.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan chuckled and joked, "Your Majesty, are you going to get jealous over a child? Sister An's love is naturally for the unborn little prince, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I always have you in my heart."

An Lingrong also smiled and took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, I also embroidered this sachet for you. It contains some herbs that can calm your mind and spirit. I hope it can relieve your worries."

Yinzhen took the sachet and looked at it carefully. He saw that it was embroidered with exquisite patterns and fine stitching, which showed that a lot of thought had been put into it.

He nodded with satisfaction, "Rong'er is really thoughtful. It seems that I have not been forgotten in your hearts."

Zhen Huan smiled and joked: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, yet he acts like a child."

There was a hint of intimacy and coquettishness in her words, which made Yinzhen very happy.

The three of them smiled at each other, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

(Yikun Palace)

At this moment, Nian Shilan was sitting upright on the couch, her face full of worry.

"What does it mean to be eagerly awaited? I have deeply felt it today." She spoke softly, revealing endless sorrow.

Seeing this, Songzhi hurried forward and gently comforted her, "My queen, please don't hurt yourself like this."

Nian Shilan frowned slightly and sighed, "I wonder if I can see the emperor in front of me by staring at him like this."

"Your Majesty, please be at ease," Songzhi said softly, "General Nian has sent someone to report that Your Majesty has been neglected in the palace. He has secretly discussed with Prince Dun and wants to take this opportunity to test the emperor's mind and relieve Your Majesty's worries."

Nian Shilan frowned slightly, and said with a hint of reproach: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago not to tell my brother about my relationship with the Emperor?"

Songzhi shook her head slightly and explained, "Even if the queen and I kept our mouths shut, the emperor's indifference to the queen has long been spread throughout the palace. How could it be hidden from the general's ears?"

"Even if my brother has a thousand good points, how can he easily join forces with Prince Dun? Even if Prince Dun has been kind to my brother in the past, he should keep a proper distance to avoid giving people a chance to talk." Nian Shilan said worriedly.

Songzhi consoled him, "Prince Dun's family is now prosperous, his daughter has been crowned a princess, and his son has been promoted to a prince. It is a time of great success, and it is reasonable for the general to have dealings with him."

Nian Shilan shook her head slightly, with a worried look on her face: "Prince Dun has an impatient temperament and is too unruly and difficult to tame. I'm afraid he is not a good companion."

Songzhi quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. The general has made arrangements. He asked me to tell you that as long as the general can help the prince fulfill his wish, the prince will do his best to help you regain the emperor's favor."

Hearing this, Nian Shilan's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked, "Are you serious?"

Songzhi nodded quickly and said firmly: "With the great help of the general and Prince Dun, your majesty has nothing to worry about. They will definitely help you solve your problems and regain the emperor's favor."

"I hope everything goes as we wish." Nian Shilan sighed softly, revealing a hint of anticipation in her tone.

When Songzhi saw that Nian Shilan finally showed a hint of relaxation, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Songzhi, light the Huanyi incense immediately. I am feeling uneasy and only this fragrance can soothe me a little." Nian Shilan said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Songzhi responded, quickly walked to the purple gold furnace, and carefully lit the Huanyi incense.

The wisps of green smoke rose up, interweaving with the light in the room, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Nian Shilan took a deep breath of the familiar fragrance, and her frown gradually relaxed, as if all the sorrow of the past few days was temporarily released.
