Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Which woman was so happy that night... It was Li Jingui. She was happy at this moment, but it would be a nightmare later...

"Cock, cluck, cluck..." The rooster crows at dawn.

Yinzhen turned over and opened his eyes dazedly. The woman next to him was holding his arm so tightly that it was numb. He sat up and rubbed his arm. Then he noticed that there was a woman sleeping next to him. He looked around and it was not his Prince Yong's Mansion. Where was this? His head seemed a little dizzy.

He yelled, "Su Peisheng!"

Su Peisheng rushed in, why did Yinzhen call so urgently, "Prince, you are awake. Let me help you wash up."

"Where is this? And who is this woman? Who arranged this woman?" The hermit was furious. He suspected that Lao Ba's group arranged this woman to frame him.

Su Peisheng knelt down in fear. "Oh, my Lord, you may not remember that this is the palace. Yesterday you and Master Shi were drinking at Tonghua Terrace. You drank too much and got a little drunk. I asked you to go back home, but you didn't want to. I didn't dare to go against your wishes, so I had to stay in the palace." Su Peisheng cried.

"Then who is this woman?" Yinzhen asked again.

At this point, Su Peisheng felt even more aggrieved, "Your Highness, you forgot that this maid was the maid who worked at Tonghua Terrace last night. Her name was Li Jingui. You kept looking at her and calling the name of the late wife, and then you came here."

"What happened last night?" Yinzhen asked nervously. He had a feeling that he might have gotten into trouble.

"Okay, no need to say more, I know." Looking at Su Peisheng's expression, it must have happened, and it's too late to say anything now.

The sound of the two people talking woke up Li Jingui who was standing by. "Prince," she said coquettishly, trying to act like a spoiled child to this man. Yinzhen lowered his head and looked at the woman in front of him, his face darkened and he remained silent. Su Peisheng also stopped talking after hearing the sound and did not dare to speak.

The moment Yinzhen lowered his head, his eyes swept over the woman. She had dark skin, a broad face, and very little hair. Only her eyebrows and eyes showed a hint of purity. This woman was squinting her eyes and acting coquettishly to him... Suddenly, he was speechless. For some reason, waves of nausea came from his chest.

"Fourth Master, Fourth Master, what's wrong with you?" Li Jingui patted Yinzhen's back gently with a look of heartache, but Yinzhen quickly opened her hand and called out, "Su Peisheng." Immediately Su Peisheng sat beside the bed and took care of Yinzhen. Li Jingui was left aside, feeling a little lost.

How could I be attracted to her when she looks like that? How much did I drink last night to mistake her for Chun Yuan? That would have been fine, but I actually... Yinzhen reflected and couldn't figure out how much he missed Chun Yuan. Not to mention how she looked, her status was not worthy of Yinzhen. She was just a palace maid, and Yinzhen was the prince.

Forget it, just this time, I guess there won’t be any pregnancy, so just send her to work somewhere else. It’s time to go back home now, and Yixiu should be worried too.

"Su Peisheng, go back home."

"Your Highness, this..." Su Peisheng looked at Li Jingui, not knowing what Yinzhen meant or whether he wanted to go back to the palace together.

Yinzhen glanced back and saw Li Jingui looking at him. Their eyes met. There was some expectation in her eyes. She thought that she could also enter Prince Yong's Mansion, but unfortunately, she thought too much.

Yinzhen said calmly: "Give her some silver and send her to work in the Yuanmingyuan."

Su Peisheng was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Li Jingui and said, "Yes."

He must be feeling sorry for this young lady. Hearing this, Li Jingui's eyes were dull. Why did she go to the Old Summer Palace? Obviously, it was not like this last night.

She thought that by relying on Yinzhen, she could fly to the branch and become a phoenix. However, she was just his plaything for one night, and even so, she was still despised in the end.

"Prince...Prince." Li Jingui called Yinzhen, tears in her eyes, hoping that he could change his mind, "Are you really so cruel?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen seemed a little angry, "It is a blessing for you that I favored you for one night, how can you be so ungrateful? You are just a palace maid, do you still want to enter Prince Yong's mansion?" Su Peisheng stood aside and watched the two of them, waiting to see what would happen.

"I know that my status is humble, and I dare not ask the prince to give me a status. I just want to be with the prince." Li Jingui cried.

"Forget it, I don't want to see you." Yinzhen said coldly, "Su Peisheng."

"Yes."

Yinzhen walked away without looking back. Li Jingui also realized how ruthless this man was, and tears rolled down her face.

"Enough, enough. Stop making trouble. You're lucky enough to be alive." Su Peisheng stepped forward to comfort him, then hurriedly left with Yinzhen.

Li Jingui was left alone in the room. She cried for a while and wiped her tears. After a while, Xiao Xiazi came and threw her a bag of silver. He sighed and said, "Alas, you are also a poor person. Take the silver and set off for Yuanmingyuan."

……

"Has the prince not come back yet?" Yixiu asked Jianqiu. Everyone was waiting in the room in silence.

"Not yet." Jianqiu replied softly.

"The prince is not like this on normal days. He didn't come back all night." Feng Ruozhao frowned.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Songzhi." Nian Shilan whispered to Songzhi. "Go to the palace and find out who the prince was with yesterday."

"Yes." Songzhi bowed and quietly left Yixiu's room. Nian Shilan still calmly sipped the tea in her hand. She knew that person must be Li Jingui, but she just wanted to confirm it.

Not long after Songzhi left, Yinzhen pushed the door open and came in. When everyone saw that it was Yinzhen, they all came forward.

"Is the prince okay? Why did you come back so late?" Yixiu held Yinzhen's hands and asked with concern. This man was taken care of by her meticulously, and in front of her, he was like a child.

"Jianqiu, hurry up and bring the evening hangover soup." Yixiu helped Yinzhen sit down and ordered. He smelled strongly of alcohol.

Yinzhen looked at Yixiu in front of him and patted her hand, "You are still the best."

After hearing this, Yixiu was extremely moved. She looked at Yinzhen and smiled gently, "I am supposed to do all this. As long as the prince is happy, it is worth it no matter how hard it is."

Everyone was watching the couple's deep affection, a rare scene, why did the hermit suddenly feel that Yixiu was good? On the surface, the couple was in love, but in fact, Yinzhen saw the ugly and humble Li Jingui and felt that Yixiu was good. In fact, the servants in the palace were much more pleasing to the eye than Li Jingui, and Nian Shilan had already seen through the true face of this man.
