Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

However, Concubine Hua had good intentions in doing this, but she didn't know that it was exactly what the Queen wanted.

"Yes, you are pregnant, so it is better for you to stay in Suiyuxuan and recuperate. You need to be most careful in the first three months."

The queen also spoke hypocritically.

Concubine Fang had no guard against the Queen to begin with, so she readily agreed when the Queen said that.

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

The emperor had been tiring since he came back. In the evening, the emperor finally called Wang Jin to sleep with him.

Xu Jinliang knew the Yiku Palace, but he had never been to Wang Changzai's room.

"Your servant greets you, my lady. The emperor has summoned you to sleep with him tonight, so you should get ready quickly." Xu Jinliang said with a smile.

Looking at this dilapidated house, even a eunuch like Xu Jinliang felt a little disgusted. He really didn't know how a concubine could live in such a place.

But I think after tonight, she won't have to suffer this injustice anymore.

"Father-in-law, please get up."

Wang Jin politely asked Xu Jinliang to get up.

Although Wang Jin had never served the emperor in bed since he ascended the throne, Wang Jin was born into a wealthy family after all, so he had heard of this rule.

The nanny who came to serve Wang Jin was still Aunt Sun from the bedroom.

After some tidying up, Wang Jin was wrapped in a quilt and carried into the Yangxin Palace.

Unlike when Concubine Fang slept with the Emperor, the Emperor was happy to see Wang Jinli.

Unlike the day when Concubine Fang served him in the emperor's bed, the emperor had a gloomy face the whole time and was just going through the motions.

As for Wang Jin, the emperor truly likes him.

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, the two are still passionate about each other.

"Your Majesty, I have checked and found that the Emperor has gone to bed and the lights in the Hall of Mental Cultivation have been turned off."

Jianqiu walked in from outside and said with her head down.

"Alright."

Although the queen didn't say anything, her face showed obvious disappointment.

She was not happy that the emperor favored Wang Jin, but she did not expect that in such a short period of time, Wang Jin would regain the emperor's favor. It must be quite extraordinary.

But looking at Wang Jin's appearance today, he is still young after all. I haven't seen him for such a long time, but his appearance has not changed at all. Instead, he looks even better than before.

Wang Jin was favored, but Jianqiu looked unhappy.

"I really don't know what kind of seductive tricks Wang Jin used. After so long, he can restore my favor just like that."

"Humph, I know the emperor's temper best. What's more, Wang Jin is pretty, so the emperor can't forget her."

The queen also knew that the emperor liked Wang Jin's appearance. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful woman?

Everyone else has a little bit of Chun Yuan's shadow, except Nian Shilan and Wang Jin. It seems that Wang Jin is not that easy to deal with.

The same thing happened to Wang Jin. According to common sense, concubines were not allowed to spend the night in the Yangxin Palace, but the emperor made an exception for Wang Jin. It couldn't be said that she stayed there for the whole night, but she stayed there for most of the night.

It was not until the second half of the night that Wang Jin was sent back to Yikun Palace.

If the Queen knew about this, she would accuse the Emperor of violating ancestral rules.

However, there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. There are many gossipy people in the palace, and the rumor spread to the ears of the Queen, and not only that, but also the Queen Mother.

When Wang Jin went to Jingren Palace to pay his respects early in the morning, he saw that the queen did not look well.

Never mind for now, An still needs to be invited.

"I send my regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness."

Wang Jin squatted down to pay her respects, but the queen did not let her get up immediately, as if she wanted to give her a warning. Wang Jin's staying in the Yangxin Palace was a threat to the queen's position.

However, seeing the Queen's attitude, everyone probably guessed what was going on. Everyone had also heard about what happened last night.

"Wang Changzai didn't come early today."

The Queen said this deliberately, and her tone made it clear that she was looking for trouble.

Wang Jin also knew that she was the queen, so he could not contradict her, so he behaved submissively.

"Your Highness, I'm coming here from Suiyuxuan. The roads are slippery due to the snow, so I'm walking a little slowly."

"Oh? Why isn't Consort Wang in the Yangxin Palace?"

The queen still mentioned the matter, and Wang Jin understood that the queen did it on purpose and was bothered by him sleeping with the queen.

In fact, the queen is not as generous as she seems.

"No, I left the Yangxin Palace in the middle of the night and returned to Suiyuxuan."

Actually, Wang Jin said this in the hope that the Queen would calm down, but he didn't expect that it would add fuel to the fire.

"Wang Changzai, do you know that according to the ancestral rules, concubines cannot stay overnight in the Yangxin Palace? If you do this, where do you put the ancestral rules! Where do you put our ancestors!"

The Queen pointed at Wang Jin and said that she was obviously angry and wanted to suppress Wang Jin on the grounds of ancestral rules.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Concubine Wang also said that he returned to Yikun Palace in the second half of the night. Everyone has heard about it early in the morning, so it can't be considered a violation of ancestral rules."

Concubine Hua just couldn't bear to see the Queen like this. Wang Jin was of low rank and didn't dare to confront the Queen face to face, so naturally she should help her.

"Yes, Madam, the concubine Wang did not stay overnight, so this is not against the ancestral rules."

Concubine Duan also echoed.

"Yes, who said that Wang Changzai violated the ancestral rules?"

The emperor's voice floated in from outside the door.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Get up."

After greeting each other, everyone returned to their seats. Only Wang Jin was still kneeling in the hall. Yixiu had not told her to get up, so she naturally could not get up.

But it’s good now. The emperor is here, and now the queen is probably going to be criticized again.

"Wang Changzai also stood up."

When the emperor saw Wang Jin still kneeling on the ground, he knew that Wang Jin must have been wronged, so he quickly asked her to get up.

Wang Jin was appointed by the Emperor, so the Queen naturally couldn't say much.

At this moment, the queen was thinking about whether the emperor would be angry if she targeted Wang Jin.

However, the emperor also knew that what happened last night was indeed a bit against the rules, and he also thought that Wang Jin might be troubled, so he came to Jingren Palace early in the morning.

"What did you say just now? The Queen said that Wang Changzai violated the ancestral rules?"

"Yes."

The queen nodded slightly, as if she was upholding the ancestral rules.

Since the emperor asked, he must have known it. I don’t know how long the emperor listened outside the door.

"It was I who allowed her to stay in the Yangxin Palace for a little longer. Could it be that the Queen thinks it was my fault?"

The emperor asked back, obviously dissatisfied with the queen.

"I dare not. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally, it is Your Majesty who has the final say."

Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, the queen did not dare to say anything. Punishing the concubines was no problem, but when it came to the emperor, the queen had no way to deal with it.

"I just think that this ancestral rule must be respected. At least, Wang Changzai should remind the emperor."

The Queen's words seemed to indicate that it was Wang Jin's fault.
