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

The emperor nodded and replied, "These days, the news from the previous dynasty must have spread to the harem. I'm sure you've heard about it. I've had people secretly investigate. According to the spies, Nian Gengyao is in Qinghai and is almost ready to ascend the throne.

He indulged his subordinates in bullying men and women, and he himself was even more arrogant and licentious. He opened a harem in Qinghai and held a beauty pageant. That was not all. "

Zhen Huan was horrified when she heard these words. If he had not made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, this crime alone would have been enough to exterminate his entire clan. She asked in surprise, "Anything else?"

The emperor nodded and took a deep breath, as if trying not to get too angry. He continued, "If he was arrogant in Qinghai, I could still tolerate it, but when he came to Beijing, he relied on his military exploits and looked down on everyone, even the royal family.

Outside, he taught the soldiers to only know General Nian and not the Emperor. Inside, he manipulated the court's personnel selection and committed corruption and abuse of power. My Qing Dynasty is not without capable generals besides Nian Gengyao. I have tolerated him for a long time and will not tolerate him any longer.

I have discussed this with the important ministers of the previous dynasty, and today I have come to tell you that I will come to the harem less often these days, so I will not neglect you, and you will suffer some grievances when necessary.

You must take good care of yourself and your unborn child. When these things are settled, our child will be born. By then, I will be a loving father and work with you to take good care of our child."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan gently stroked her belly, smiled and raised her head, "The baby in my belly is only three months old, it's still too early to be born. Your Majesty, just focus on handling the affairs of the previous dynasty, I will take good care of myself.

Besides, Your Majesty has tolerated Nian Gengyao for so long, so what does it matter if I tolerate him for a while? Your Majesty should just be at ease."

The emperor was moved by Zhen Huan's words. He stroked her belly and said, "Huan Huan is really my sweetheart. To prevent you from worrying, I have not told you that I have been asking your father to collect evidence of Nian Gengyao's crimes in the previous dynasty. Now that the evidence has been collected, I should tell you."

Zhen Huan was a little worried. Nian Gengyao had a large sphere of influence, many spies, and was a ruthless person. Her father must have put in a lot of effort this time. However, her father's duties were now fulfilled, so it seemed that he had not encountered anything really worrying.

She thought for a while and replied with a smile: "Father is an official in the court. It is the duty and responsibility of a minister to remove the thorn in the emperor's heart. Since the emperor trusts my father, let him do it!"

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with satisfaction, looking at this person who looked extremely similar to Chun Yuan. Chun Yuan was beautiful, kind, and intelligent, and was the person that all men in the world wanted to marry.

Zhen Huan is talented and strategic, smart and kind but also sharp. If she were a man, she could be of great use to her talents. But as a woman, unless her husband is also talented, it would be difficult to suppress her.

Zhen Huan looked up at the emperor's complex and deep eyes. She felt happy but also a little lonely. The emperor's eyes were so affectionate, but she didn't know whether he was seeing her or looking at Queen Chun Yuan through her.

She picked up the chopsticks and put some vegetables into the emperor's bowl, smiling and saying, "It's easy to lose your appetite when the weather is hot, but your Majesty is busy with paperwork every day, how can you sustain yourself with just this porridge? Your Majesty, please have some vegetables. These are refreshing side dishes made by Huanbi and the others according to the concubines' preferences. Your Majesty, please try them. Do you think they suit your taste?"

The emperor happily picked up his chopsticks and started eating, nodding repeatedly, looking very satisfied.

In the past few days, the emperor either went to Qingliang Palace to find Concubine Nian, or took Songzhi to Qinzheng Palace to serve her. With the empress's order, Songzhi would ask the emperor about his attitude towards Nian Gengyao from time to time, and she would always get positive answers.

"Nian Gengyao has worked hard and made great contributions, and Concubine Nian has trained you to be so well-behaved and lovely. I am grateful to them both, so how could I blame them?"

Songzhi was satisfied after hearing this and leaned into the emperor's arms.

"By the way, Concubine Nian is so generous and generous in giving you to me. I am not a person who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments." Then he shouted to the outside:

"Su Peisheng, tomorrow morning you will go and inform the six palaces to restore Concubine Hua's title and status."

Su Peisheng stood outside the tent and agreed, thinking to himself, could it be that Song Zhi really caught the emperor's eye? The more he thought about it, the more incredible it was. Well, the master's affairs were not something he, as a servant, should worry about. The emperor asked him to pass on the order, so he just had to do it.

Songzhi looked down at the emperor eagerly and asked coquettishly, "Your Majesty is no longer angry with Concubine Hua?"

The emperor asked her in return: "Why should I be angry?"

Songzhi was stunned for a moment and replied, "I thought the emperor was going to ignore you because of the baby in Wan Guiren's belly."

The emperor laughed, "How could I bear to neglect Concubine Hua and you? You two are the ones I favor the most." After saying that, the two of them fell on the couch in each other's arms.

The next morning, except for the Queen and Concubine Hua, all the other concubines came to Bitong Academy to visit Zhen Huan. While everyone was talking, Xiao Yunzi came to report that the Emperor had ordered the restoration of Concubine Hua's title and status, and that Concubine Hua had already gone to the Qinzheng Palace.

Everyone looked at Zhen Huan. She was silent for a moment and then picked up her handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears: "Hua Fei is really good at tricks. The child in my belly has just been stable and she has restored her position. I really think it is unimportant."

After hearing this, Concubine Qi said in confusion, "Hey, I heard that last night, Songzhi said a lot of good things about Concubine Hua in front of the emperor, and the emperor restored Concubine Hua's position. So it seems that the emperor really likes Songzhi!"

Concubine Cao fanned herself lightly with a palm-leaf fan and replied with a smile, "What Concubine Qi said is true. The day before yesterday afternoon, when I went to Concubine Hua's palace, I saw Concubine Hua sitting alone in the hall. After asking, I learned that the Emperor had asked Zhi Da Ying to wait on her for her nap. The Emperor ignored Concubine Hua and insisted on asking Zhi Da Ying. Doesn't that mean he values ​​her very much?"

Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Cao angrily, covered her lower eyelids with her handkerchief again, and cried, "I am pregnant now. Since I came to Yuanmingyuan, the emperor has only come to see me once. I am still pregnant, but the emperor refused to come. It seems that Concubine Zhi is really cunning."

An Lingrong looked at everyone's eyes, most of them were mocking Zhen Huan in the name of concern. She patted Zhen Huan and said, "Song Zhi was born a maid. No matter how noble she is, she can't surpass you. You don't have to worry about such a person."

Zhen Huan immediately grabbed Ling Rong's hand and continued to cry, "Ling Rong, I know you are worried about me. Apart from other things, the fact that she was able to restore Concubine Hua to the throne is enough to show that Song Zhi is a resourceful person."

Concubine Cao raised her lips slightly, and leaned forward with a look of anticipation, asking, "What is Concubine Wan going to do?"
