After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

The emperor extended his hand again and asked, "Are you scared?"

Zhen Huan whispered: "I didn't know you were the emperor..."

The emperor took a deep breath and told her, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I don't want everyone to be so restrained with me, especially you. I want to get along with you like an ordinary couple, but I scare you."

Zhen Huan then extended her hand and shook her head in a low voice, "I dare not."

The emperor comforted her for a while, and then punished Yu Yingying and Xia Changzai respectively. The former was demoted to a court lady and sent to a place where she could not see him, and the latter was demoted to a Yingying.

When the two left, they both looked at Zhen Huan angrily, but dared not say anything.

At this moment, only the emperor and Zhen Huan were left in the imperial garden. The emperor carried her all the way back to Suiyuxuan without saying a word. Knowing that she was weak, he rewarded her with many precious medicinal herbs and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a lot of items to buy room for her. For a while, everyone in the palace was talking about this matter behind her back.

Zhen Huan was touched by the emperor's kindness and felt very happy. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling the whole day.

Looking at a group of people rushing in and out, Meizhuang and Lingrong standing at the door were happy for her.

Zhen Huan saw the two people coming and hurriedly went to greet them, "Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"

Mei Zhuang covered her mouth and smiled and nodded, "You are really the one who makes a splash."

An Lingrong bowed hastily and said, "Sister, congratulations, sister. You've finally got what you've been waiting for. When sister Mei and I first heard about this, we thought it was a rumor. It's great!" Lingrong looked around at the things that had been delivered to the yard.

The three of them entered the room one by one, sat down and talked. As they were talking, Zhen Huan suddenly became unhappy. Mei Jie asked her what was wrong with concern. Zhen Huan was silent for a moment and then said:

"The paint on my desk fell off a few days ago, and I asked Liu Zhu to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tell him several times, but no one came. Today, I suddenly met the emperor in the Imperial Garden. The people in the palace saw that the emperor suddenly treated me well. Look, how many things have been sent to me all day. Just now, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Huang Guiquan, came to apologize in person."

Sister Mei put down her teacup and thought for a while, "Do you think that the people in the palace flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and are like fence-sitters who are on both sides?"

Zhen Huan nodded, "These are not the most important things. It's just that I suddenly became favored today, while Yu and Xia Dongchun suddenly fell out of favor. Sister, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the emperor will keep me in mind today, and one day he will trample me under his feet..."

Hearing her say this, An Lingrong and Huanbi nodded at the same time, and both of their actions were noticed.

Sister Mei asked: "Lingrong, do you have anything to say?"

An Lingrong nodded and said, "I am of humble origin, and my appearance and talent are very mediocre. Although the emperor has summoned me to his bedchamber several times, I can see that the emperor treats me indifferently. To be honest with you two sisters, Lingrong has also thought about the problem that Sister Wan is worried about."

"Have you figured out what to do?" Zhen Huan was a little curious.

An Lingrong stroked her lips and shook her head.

"Hey, I saw Huanbi nodded just now, why don't you say something too?" Sister Mei smiled and nodded at Huanbi.

Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan. She really wanted to say something, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Zhen Huan finally nodded and allowed her to speak.

Huanbi bit her lip and said, "I don't understand the relationship between men and women, let alone the emperor. I just read a few books when I was free. Throughout history, in novels about talented men and beautiful women, women are often attracted by the sincerity of men, but are abandoned by their ruthlessness, and eventually die miserably. So I think that men's hearts are the easiest to change, especially the emperor. There are so many concubines in the palace, how can he take care of them all?"

"Then...what should we do?" An Lingrong looked at him puzzledly.

Zhen Huan suddenly smiled and said, "A man can still take off his clothes, but a woman cannot. This is what Huanbi said. If this is the case, then I only ask for your favor, not your wholehearted love."

Everyone thought this was true and nodded in agreement.

Zhen Huan's doubts were dispelled, as were Ling Rong's, but Sister Mei's ideas did not completely agree with theirs.

Huanbi could see the light in her sister Mei's eyes and knew that she was still full of expectations for the emperor. However, some things could only be understood by experiencing them personally. The most important thing for her was to let her own mistress understand. Otherwise, if she was hurt by the emperor in the future, she would surely be extremely sad.

Early the next morning, the emperor came to Suiyuxuan for breakfast and made an exception to promote Zhen Huan to a higher rank - Concubine Wan.

Seven days later, the emperor summoned Wen Shichu and asked about Zhen Huan's condition. After learning that she was almost recovered, he granted her a hot spring bath. The emperor also summoned the queen, but the queen understood that the emperor summoned her just to save face, so she went with the flow and said that she had something else to do and could not go.

In the Changping Palace, Zhen Huan sat on the couch with the emperor after bathing. The two talked affectionately.

Zhen Huan thought of the folk marriage customs and etiquette and told the emperor about them. The emperor just smiled and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, on the first day after returning to the palace, after paying her respects to the Queen and returning to Suiyuxuan, she found that the Emperor had moved all the customs of folk weddings to the palace as she had said that day. The Emperor did everything she mentioned, and the result was even better than she had imagined.

Zhen Huan was really happy. At that moment, she felt that the emperor treated her sincerely and treated her differently from other people.

Zhen Huan and the other two were favored, and many people in the palace were dissatisfied. That night, Concubine Hua called Sister Mei to the palace to copy scriptures. When she returned, she sent away her personal maid Caiyue and sent someone to push Sister Mei into the water.

As soon as Zhen Huan heard the news, she rushed to Cunju Hall. At this time, Concubine Hua also came. She was dressed neatly and looked very beautiful. As soon as she came in, she threw herself in front of Mei Zhuang's bed and pretended to care about her, which made Zhen Huan feel sick.

In the Yanxi Palace, Xia Dongchun learned the news and ran excitedly to An Lingrong's room and shouted. Lingrong was very worried when she heard it, and hurriedly put on her coat and walked towards Cunju Hall. When she went out, she deliberately took Juqing with her and left Baojuan to make the bed.

"Hurry up, Sister Mei is not familiar with the water, and I don't know if she has woken up?" Lingrong said to Juqing as she walked, her steps quick.

When the two arrived at Suiyuxuan, only Sister Mei and Sister Wan were left in the room. Lingrong looked at the person lying on the bed and saw that Sister Mei's lips were pale and colorless. Although the imperial physician had prescribed medicine, she had not yet woken up.

Ling Rong looked around the room and asked curiously, "I heard that Sister Mei was asked by Concubine Hua to copy scriptures. On her way back, she passed by Qianli Pond to feed the fish and unfortunately fell into the water. Didn't the Emperor come to see it? The incident happened in Concubine Hua's palace, and she didn't come to talk either?"

Zhen Huan sneered, "The Emperor came and saw that Sister Mei was not awake. When he was about to leave, Concubine Hua dressed up very beautifully, pretended to care about Sister Mei, acted very arrogantly, and called the Emperor away."

Ling Rong paused for a moment and asked tentatively, "I heard that the emperor turned over my sister's card tonight!"

Zhen Huan shook her head and said nothing.
