Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Get up, you come so quickly." Seeing Concubine Qi coming, the Queen also smiled.

I have been under house arrest for so many days, and this is the first time I have seen anyone outside of Jingren Palace. Concubine Qi is the best at currying favor with the Queen, so she must be the first one to come.

"I just heard the news from Xiao Xiazi, so I hurried over to pay my respects to Her Majesty." Concubine Qi said with a smile.

Isn’t it true? The Queen has lifted the house arrest, and Concubine Qi finally has a big tree to rely on. At least she doesn’t have to worry about Nian Shilan’s face.

Although the queen's house arrest has been lifted, it is the same as before. After all, the power to manage the six palaces is still in the hands of Concubine Hua.

"It's hard for you to be so thoughtful and think of coming to see me. Now Lipin has been moved to the cold palace, and you are the only one around me..."

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi and said, "Ever since the incident with Concubine Li, it's my fault for not disciplining her properly. It's hard for her to be on good terms with me. Such a thing happened right under my nose, and it implicated my sister. It's really a sin."

Ever since she found out that Concubine Qi was infertile, the Queen had never mentioned the matter properly. Now that Concubine Qi happened to be here, she might as well mention it so that Concubine Qi would know that she cared about her.

Concubine Qi's brain was naturally the easiest to fool. As long as the Queen said something nice, Concubine Qi would rush to her aid.

Concubine Qi is now extremely angry with Concubine Li: "Empress, if I were to say so, Concubine Li deserves to die! Even if she were to be sent to the cold palace, I would not be satisfied. It is not bad to keep watching Concubine Li. She does not talk much on weekdays. I do not know how I have offended her, but she wants to harm me like this."

Fortunately, Concubine Qi still has the Third Prince. If Concubine Qi had never given birth, I'm afraid Concubine Li would not have survived. Not to mention whether the Emperor would kill her, Concubine Qi would not have spared her.

"Well, it's over. Fortunately, you still have the Third Prince."

When the Third Prince was mentioned, the Queen immediately asked, "By the way, how is the Third Prince? Is he okay?"

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern. Hongshi is fine. After all, he has grown taller and stronger. He is a big boy now. That little thing won't be a problem. The main reason is that he didn't eat much that day."

As long as the Third Prince is fine, Concubine Qi will be relieved. It doesn't matter what happens to her. The most important thing is her precious son.

"I'm glad you're okay. I haven't seen Hongshi for a long time. I miss him a lot."

Speaking of Hongshi, the Queen just mentioned it in passing. I'm sure Concubine Qi would know what she meant.

Yes, Concubine Qi understood immediately: "Cuiguo, quickly, go and call the Third Prince."

Seeing Concubine Qi like this, the Queen also laughed, after all, Concubine Qi and the Queen were close.

Concubine Qi foolishly thought that the Queen truly loved Hongshi, so she quickly asked someone to call Hongshi to Jingren Palace.

It is true that the Queen doted on Hongshi. She treated him as her own son. It would have been even better if Concubine Qi hadn't come between them.

"My son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager. I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

When Hongshi came here just now, he was still wondering what to do in Jingren Palace, but seeing his mother here, Hongshi felt relieved.

"I wonder what mother wants me to come over for? I was just memorizing my lessons in the study room, and when I saw Cuiguo coming, she asked me to come over."

Hongshi had no idea why Concubine Qi called him over. In the first place, Hongshi didn't like coming to the Queen's place. If Cuiguo hadn't called him, he would have been reluctant to do so.

Looking at Hongshi, Concubine Qi's eyes were full of joy: "Hongshi, it's your Royal Mother who misses you. Come, tell your Royal Mother to come and see her."

As she spoke, Concubine Qi pushed Hongshi towards the Queen.

Hongshi was already grown up, and wasn't really willing to do it, but he could only put on a forced smile.

"The Queen's Mother."

"Hongshi has grown a lot taller." The Queen said to Hongshi and Concubine Qi.

"Thank you for the compliment, Empress."

"Hongshi is a child who works too hard. Every day, I remind him to go to bed early, rest early, go to bed early and get up early, recite more books during the day, play less, and focus more on studying."

As a mother, she always thinks her children are excellent. Even if Hongshi was stupid, he was still excellent in Concubine Qi's eyes.

However, the Queen did not care what Concubine Qi said to Hongshi every day. After all, Hongshi would be kept by her side in the future. She had already done her best by letting Concubine Qi take care of Hongshi for such a long time.

Just as he was speaking, Jiang Fuhai came in and reported: "Empress, Concubine Cao is here."

Looking at Jiang Fuhai's expression, I couldn't say anything, but I just felt that it wasn't that simple.

This noble lady Cao never interacted with me before, but why did she come here at this moment? Is there something wrong, or did she hear that I was released from house arrest?

This forced the Queen to be cautious. It seemed that Concubine Cao was a quiet person and they didn't have much contact with her on a daily basis.

"Let her in."

The queen didn't think much about what Cao Qinmo was like, so she decided to call her in to see what she was going to do.

Hongshi was also a perceptive man. When he heard that Concubine Cao had arrived, he thought about it and quickly withdrew.

After obtaining the queen's permission, Hongshi bowed and left.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Concubine Qi."

Cao Qinmo came in with a smile on her face. She wasn't very close to the queen on normal days, and no one knew what she was laughing at. She looked a bit like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

The queen is not a fool. She has certainly seen much more of the world than Cao Qinmo. When it comes to pretending, who can pretend better than the queen?

"Get up, why is Concubine Cao here now?"

The Queen asked first, and Concubine Qi, who was sitting on the side, also looked Cao Qinmo up and down.

"I heard that the Queen was released from house arrest, and I have been worried about her, so I came to visit her, but I asked Sister Qi to go ahead."

It was exactly what the Queen thought. Cao Qinmo really said so. But what did she mean by that? Did she want to befriend me?

The queen seemed to guess something, but didn't say it out loud.

"Thank you very much, noble Cao. Jianqiu, please take a seat."

"Thank you, empress."

Looking at the Jingren Palace, it seems peaceful on the surface. It is estimated that except for Concubine Qi, the Queen and Cao Qinmo, most of them have their own ulterior motives and are testing each other.

As soon as Cao Qinmo sat down, she smiled and said, "Empress, I have been in the palace for such a long time, but I have not come to pay my respects to you properly. It seems that I have lost my manners."
