Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

"Empress Dowager, I really saw Yong Cong smashing a grown man to the ground again and again, as easy as throwing a fish."

Jingse told Zhen Huan the story in vivid detail.

Yongcheng was sad. Others had some talent, and he also had talent, but why did his talent seem to be related to breaking the law?

"Your Majesty, I grew up in Jiangnan since I was young. Now is a rare opportunity to revisit my hometown. I want to go for a stroll. Your Majesty, why don't you accompany me?"

Ruyi pouted and acted coquettishly towards Hongli.

"Your Majesty has already accompanied the Empress, so please go with me once."

Hongli agreed and went on a secret tour to make a secret visit to people's livelihood.

A simple carriage quietly drove out from the side door of the palace.

Ruyi wore a dark brown jacket and skirt with a light brown shawl on the outside. She had her hair done in the most complicated peony bun worn by Han women, embellished with kingfisher feathers.

The two of them squeezed together. Ruyi raised her head from Hongli's shoulder and smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, we haven't played like this since you ascended the throne."

"Yes, things are different now. I know you like Suzhou and Hangzhou, and you like the life of a common couple, so we can take a break from our busy lives."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering my preferences."

Hongli said, "Now that we are outside, in this peaceful world, we should not call it that anymore."

Ruyi folded her hands, smiled sweetly and bowed to Hongli: "Yes, husband."

The two climbed the mountain hand in hand and ate the rice cake together. Fu Heng was just a ruthless payment machine and didn't want to listen to what they said.

"I am so busy that I have no time to rest. Now that I have climbed to a high place and looked far into the distance, I feel that my mood has suddenly become brighter."

Hongli and Ruyi snuggled up to each other and talked about their past.

"My aunt once told me that no matter who you are, you will be alone in the end."

Sitting under the moon, Hongli thought of the Empress of Jingren Palace, and also of the late Emperor, and a feeling of melancholy crept into his heart.

"Are you thinking of your aunt again?"

"No, I just want to tell His Majesty that now that we are together, you will no longer be alone on the top of the mountain. I will accompany you, forever."

The rumbling thunder interrupted their conversation.

Hongli stood up and pulled Ruyi: "It's going to rain soon, let's go."

Ruyi just sat there, pouting her lips and acting coquettishly to Hongli: "I am reluctant to leave Hangzhou."

"I promise you, we will come again in the future, okay?"

Fu Heng stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. A rainstorm is coming. For your safety, you'd better hurry back to the palace."

"The Queen Mother and Empress are still hoping that the Emperor will return safely. Please move on, Emperor."

Ruyi pouted and walked back to the carriage with Hongli.

In the carriage, Ruyi held Hongli's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and murmured, "My husband, please come with me next time. The simplicity and freedom of ordinary couples are really fascinating."

Hongli agreed.

Hongli held a banquet to discuss the relationship between the monarch and his subjects with officials from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.

Zhen Huan held a private banquet and enjoyed herself with the Queen Mother and the concubines. Wei Yanwan happily asked Zhen Huan for favor.

"My lady, I would like to perform a dance to entertain you sisters."

Gao Xiyue was very interested: "Ling Fei is the smartest and has the most ideas. Your formal request must be well prepared. I wonder how exciting it will be."

Zhen Huan agreed, believing in Wei Yanwan's ability, and put her show at the finale.

After the banquet, Hongli came here to join in the fun.

The Queen Mother smiled at the Emperor with a friendly expression: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."

Hongli replied to the Empress Dowager, "I know what's going on, so please don't worry. With the Empress's careful consideration, I don't have to worry about anything."

"The harmony and happiness between the Emperor and the Empress is a great blessing for the country."

The conversations between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are always harmonious yet distant. Zhen Huan is helpless, as she cannot get too close to a child she has just raised who is almost an adult, and harmony is already a rare occurrence.

Amid the drinking and chatting, Wei Yanwan quietly left.

A faint and pleasant music came from the water. Wei Yanwan was riding a small boat. The bronze mirror reflected the candlelight. It was not clear from a distance, as if she was floating on the water.

Under the silver moonlight, the woman in red has a graceful figure, delicate eyebrows and a stunning appearance.

With ten slender fingers, she held up a branch of plum blossom in full bloom and danced gracefully on the boat that had not yet moved steadily.

Everyone watched with fascination.

Gao Xiyue exclaimed: "As expected of Concubine Ling, she never disappoints me. I have already raised my expectations, but I am still amazed by her."

Jingse also said admiringly: "Your Highness is so powerful that she can dance lightly on a moving boat."

Zhen Huan nodded in approval: "I wonder how long she has been practicing secretly. Hard work really pays off."

"Is that plum blossom in Concubine Ling's hand? Where can we find plum blossoms in full bloom in this season?"

"There is nothing that Concubine Ling can't do."

The concubines were amazed, and even the empress dowager was deeply impressed by Wei Yanwan's ingenuity and perseverance.

After the song ended, Wei Yanwan walked gracefully towards the three people at the top and said, "I have prepared a dance for today, and I hope it will please the emperor."

He then presented the plum blossom in his hand to the Queen Mother.

"Plum blossoms are common, but rare in this season. I specially found them to give to Your Majesty, and I hope you will not despise them."

The Queen Mother praised: "The Concubine Ling dances gracefully and her mind is clever. This dance is very beautiful and pleasing to the eyes."

Zhen Huan said: "The Concubine Ling is like a fairy from heaven who has come down to earth. She must have put in a lot of effort. Your Majesty, please reward her well."

Hongli said: "I grant Concubine Ling the treatment of a noble concubine from now on."

When Hongli granted Gao Xiyue the treatment of an imperial concubine, he was giving face to the empress and substance to Gao Xiyue.

Now that the position of imperial concubine was full, Hongli granted Wei Yanwan the treatment of an imperial concubine, which showed that he valued her very much. With just one dance, she became the imperial concubine that everyone envied.

After expressing her gratitude, Wei Yanwan secretly looked at Jin Yuyan and Su Lujun. Seeing that they were not unhappy, she secretly felt relieved.

Everyone praised Wei Yanwan so much that she was so shy that she lowered her head and drank.

Ruyi curled her lips and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days. It turns out that Concubine Ling is busy with these things."

Ruyi lowered her chin and stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, but her eyes did not move away from Wei Yanwan, she just stared at her hatefully.

"It is worth it if I can make the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Queen smile."

Ruyi continued to press her, curling her lips and asking, "Does Concubine Ling also like plum blossoms?"

Wei Yanwan smiled and said, "I like trumpet creepers. It was my favorite when I was young, and it has not changed now."

Ruyi was very moved. Wei Yanwan wouldn't still be thinking about Ling Yunche. This woman was really dissolute. She abandoned her childhood sweetheart and became the emperor's woman, but she still thought about him.

He clenched his fists tightly, not even feeling the armor digging into his palms. He just tried hard to suppress the hatred in his heart.

This woman coveted Ling Yunche and betrayed the emperor.

Jing Si said to Gao Xiyue happily, "Mother, is your Majesty like the trumpet creeper in the poem you taught me?"

Hongli asked curiously, "Jingsi, which one is it?"

"When I look up to the sun, I have no intention of holding it in my arms."
