Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 28 I am the Empress's Firstborn

Zhen Huan brought milk and bird's nest to the Yangxin Palace. Hongli put down his memorials and drank the bird's nest. Zhen Huan sat on the couch beside him and accompanied him silently. After Hongli finished drinking the bird's nest, he lay on the couch, resting his head on Zhen Huan's legs, closing his eyes and enjoying his wife massaging his temples.

"Why does Your Majesty look so tired today?" Zhen Huan asked.

"Don't you know?" Hongli opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhen Huan. It turned out that he deliberately asked Wang Qin to reveal the matter between himself and Concubine Xian to Su Lian. Langya always ignored him recently, and he wanted to know what Langya thought of what Ruyi said.

Zhen Huan was shocked. This life's Hongli seemed to be a little different from the previous life. In the previous life, he was cowardly and cold, and he didn't know how to control his subordinates. The stewards around him betrayed him. In this life, he was not so cowardly.

Zhen Huan thought for only a few seconds before speaking, "I know that it is more difficult to maintain a business than to start one. The Qing Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, surrounded by wolves, and everything needs the emperor to steer the ship. The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs, and I dare not be jealous and cause the emperor to worry. I also know that it is the emperor's responsibility to ensure the prosperity of the royal heirs, and I dare not take the initiative."

"Besides, I like the sisters in the harem. They are so beautiful that they are like clouds in the mortal world. Even women like them. The emperor will be even happier when he sees them."

Zhen Huan knew that in Hongli's heart, they were all slaves, tools, property and pets. Even the queen, the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty, could not get rid of the shackles of the emperor and his subjects, the three obediences and four virtues, and the royal family was also subject to the shackles of the monarch and his subjects. It was painful to say these words, but she had to say them in person to please Hongli.

"Langya, I finally understand why the late emperor chose you to be my wife." Hongli stood up and hugged Zhen Huan tightly. She was the most qualified wife in the world.

Hongli was very satisfied with Zhen Huan's frugal policy, and was willing to have the Ministry of Revenue provide money and send someone to manage the charity hall and promote it throughout the country.

After the serious topic was finished, the couple chatted about some family gossip. Speaking of Qingying, Hongli was very puzzled: "Those Western men, bound by the sect, cannot abandon their wives, so they usually choose to kill their wives and support their mistresses to take the throne. Didn't Lang Shining tell Ruyi?"

"Maybe he's afraid of scaring Concubine Xian." Zhen Huan was also puzzled.

Hongli continued to be puzzled: "Even if Westerners allow monogamy and divorce, I will follow their example and disband the harem, but I will let her go home. Why is she so excited?"

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Empress Xian is deeply in love with you. Your Majesty once heard her tell the Queen Mother that she is the wife that the Emperor has in mind." She looked at Hongli mischievously.

Hongli blushed. When he was in love with each concubine, he would say something like "you are my favorite" or "you are the most special". But he would forget it after waking up. It seems that only Ruyi took it seriously.

Zhen Huan pretended to be angry, turned away and didn't look at Hongli, and said angrily: "I am just the emperor's housekeeper, only responsible for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, a mercenary. The emperor and sister Ruyi are the soul mates, without the hustle and bustle of the world, just a bond of the heart."

Hongli hurriedly coaxed Zhen Huan: "Madam, Zitong, my beloved wife, darling, don't listen to Concubine Xian's nonsense. She has read too many storybooks and her head is full of unrealistic love fantasies. I never said she was my wife. I have already said that the heaven and earth ancestors, my father and mother, and myself all recognize you as my only wife."

Hongli didn't even use the word "I" and just used the same tricks he used to coax Zhen Huan in the palace.

Zhen Huan turned around, put her arms around Hongli's waist, buried her head in his arms and said, "I am still angry. Concubine Xian dared to push the emperor's ladder. I was scared when I heard it, so I hurried to see the emperor's body."

"No wonder today's bird's nest is not tasty enough." Hongli teased Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan gently hit Hongli and raised her face, tears welling up in her eyes. Hongli was touched and gently wiped away Langhua's tears, promising that he would take care of himself.

Hongli granted Mrs. Fucha special permission to visit the empress in the palace.

Zhen Huan prepared the cakes and meals that Fu Cha's wife liked early on, as well as gifts for everyone in the family. She was grateful to the Fu Cha family for taking care of her over the years.

Madam Fucha got off the carriage and prepared to salute, but was supported by Zhen Huan. Madam Fucha smiled and shook her head, "In the royal family, the emperor and his subjects come first, and then the father and his son. There are so many palace servants outside this palace, I dare not be rude."

Zhen Huan's eyes were blurred with tears. Although she had only lived with Lady Fucha for a few months, she still felt sad when she saw the old woman kneeling down before her.

Mrs. Fucha didn't notice anything and walked into the palace, leaving Su Lian alone. She hugged Jingse tightly and didn't want to let go. "My dear little princess, do you still remember your grandma?"

Jingse blinked her big eyes and answered obediently: "Although Jingse doesn't know who the old lady is, I feel very close to her in my heart."

Mrs. Fucha was deeply moved. This was probably the legendary saying that blood is thicker than water. This little girl had always been sweet-mouthed and was the best at coaxing people. Zhen Huan just thought it was funny and didn't expose her.

In her previous life, Madam Zhen went to see Zhen Huan and only stayed with her for two quarters of an hour. In this life, the palace rules were not so strict, and Madam Fucha sat until after dinner.

Happy times are always short, and in the blink of an eye it was time to separate again. Zhen Huan could only send her to the gate of Changchun Palace. She sent Lian Xin and Su Lian to send her the rest of the way.

In this life, Madam Fucha did not ask Su Lian to do anything behind the Queen's back. She only told her to pay attention to Langya's health and bring her some news about her mother.

Although Su Lian was not taught, after Lady Fucha left, the third princess Jingse was like a parrot that could only imitate others, saying to everyone she met: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager."

Hongli stayed in Changchun Palace for one night, and the little princess learned this sentence: "This princess is the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager."

On the second night, Zhen Huan, who had some free time, taught her seriously, "All your brothers and sisters are your father's children. No matter who their mother is, you cannot bully them. Moreover, you are the daughter of the Empress Dowager, so you enjoy more rights than them, and the burden on your shoulders is heavier than theirs."

Unexpectedly, Hongli came to Changchun Palace again today. When he heard Zhen Huan educating her little baby, Hongli picked up Jingse and supported her without caring.

"Jingse is my favorite, this is a fact. As my most beloved daughter, it's okay for her to be a little overbearing. Who dares to find fault with her?"

Zhen Huan was furious. What if he educated his child like this and the child turned out to be a tyrannical princess in the future?

Zhen Huan's worries were not unnecessary. With the joint efforts of Concubine Gao and Hongli, the future Princess Hejing Aisin-Gioro Jingse was indeed domineering, which frightened all the Russians who coveted the Qing territory.

Later, when Langya returned to the small world, she was really happy for her heroic and free daughter. She was really pleased to see her leading the 48 Mongolian tribes, always guarding the border, and fulfilling her childhood dream.
