Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

097 Brother, Brother

(Smashed Jade Pavilion)

An Lingrong walked into the house with Hongyang. Hongyang was almost one year old in the blink of an eye. In recent days, he showed signs of wanting to take his first steps, which made him look more lovable and his appearance even more childish.

"Sister, I'm here with Hongyang to visit you." An Lingrong said softly.

"Rong'er's visit is really timely. Please come in." Zhen Huan was originally immersed in the warm reverie of her mother returning home. The arrival of An Lingrong was like a breeze that brushed away some of the worries in her heart and gave her great comfort.

"How is Hongzhou? Hongyang has been muttering 'brother, brother' recently. I guess he misses Hongzhou very much, so I brought him here to reunite with us and also to visit his sister." An Lingrong said gently.

"I wonder if Hongzhou has woken up from his nap. You are so thoughtful. Even the gift given in the afternoon is so exquisite and valuable. It really took you a lot of thought." Zhen Huan responded gratefully.

"Sister, you are too kind. In the past, you took great care of me in your mansion. How could I be ungrateful?" An Lingrong replied with a beautiful smile.

At this time, Hongyang also let out a clear and pleasant laugh. That laughter was like the sound of nature, which instantly made Zhen Huan's face bloom with a bright smile, and the whole room was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

"Huanbi, go and see if Hongzhou has woken up. If he has, ask the wet nurse to bring him here." Zhen Huan ordered.

"Hey." Upon hearing this, Huanbi went away and returned after a while, followed by a wet nurse who was specifically responsible for taking care of Hongzhou.

At this time, Hongzhou was over three months old, and his skin color gradually became fair, which was very different from the dark appearance when he was born, and he looked more delicate and lovely.

"Brother, brother." From the moment Hongzhou stepped into the room, Hongyang kept repeating this word in his childish voice, as if he had endless love and closeness for Hongzhou.

"Sister, it seems that Hongyang really has a special affection for Hongzhou. I hope that the two brothers can be as affectionate as we are and work together." An Lingrong said expectantly.

"That's certainly the case." Zhen Huan responded with a smile.

(Jingren Palace)

At first light the next morning, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong went side by side to Jingren Palace to pay their respects to the Queen.

Zhen Huan was wearing a emerald green Manchu dress, the color was bright, just like the new leaves in spring, full of vitality.

An Lingrong chose a purple Manchu dress. The purple was deep and noble, which made her look more dignified and elegant.

The two of them walked lightly and gracefully as they entered the main hall of Jingren Palace together.

"Your servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and longevity." Zhen Huan and An Lingrong spoke almost at the same time, their voices clear and pleasant, expressing their deep respect for the Queen.

"No need to be so polite, just stand up." Empress Yixiu responded gently, and her voice seemed to reveal a majesty and kindness that could not be ignored.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your grace." Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong slowly stood up and elegantly sat down in the seats that had been prepared long ago, their manners showing the demeanor of ladies from noble families.

Yixiu raised a gentle smile and said softly, "The deep sisterly love between you two is really enviable. If every concubine in the palace could live in harmony like you two, what a wonderful sight it would be."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan nodded slightly and responded gently, "Your Majesty is right. The concubines in each palace are like sisters in our own family. We should value harmony and work together to build a harmonious and harmonious palace."

"As summer approaches, the heat is getting more oppressive. The emperor has decided to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness. You all need to make preparations in advance. Whether it is the accompanying personnel or the necessary items, they must be arranged one by one to ensure that everything is safe. We will set off in a few days." Yixiu conveyed the emperor's will in a soft voice, and her words revealed her expectation for everyone's thorough preparation.

Upon hearing this, all the concubines nodded in agreement and replied in unison: "We will obey your order and make careful preparations to live up to your Majesty and the Emperor's expectations."

At this time, Shen Meizhuang slowly stood up, bowed lightly, and said gently: "Your Majesty, since the Queen Mother's health has been unwell, she has not had the opportunity to leave the palace to escape the summer heat. I am willing to stay in the palace on behalf of the Emperor, accompany the Queen Mother, and serve her wholeheartedly and do my best to fulfill my filial duty as a subject and daughter."

Upon hearing this, Empress Yixiu's eyes flashed with approval, and she replied gently, "Mrs. Shen is such a filial person, which is a good example for the palace. I will grant your request on behalf of the emperor."

Shen Meizhuang bowed again, her voice full of gratitude: "I thank the Queen for her consideration and support."

After saying this, she slowly sat down, a smile that was both firm and gentle on her face.
