Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Su Peisheng stood up and walked to Yinzhen, whispering, "Your Majesty, I just want to say that you talked nonsense yesterday."

Yinzhen was instantly alert, "What? Nonsense! Did I say anything? Is there anyone else around?"

He spoke in a hurry, fearing that the secret would spread out.

"Not really. You just kept asking, 'why, why' in front of Concubine Nian and Concubine Jin. You didn't say anything else." Seeing Yinzhen so anxious, Su Peisheng tried to comfort him.

Yinzhen felt relieved after hearing this, but he could never forget that scene.

"Su Peisheng, did you see anything in the corridor last night?" Yinzhen asked even though he already knew the answer.

Su Peisheng was also stunned by this question. Should he say he didn't see it, or should he admit it truthfully? If he said he didn't see it, but he really did see it, and the prince knew about it, it would be too unbelievable. But if he said he saw it, would the prince be angry, or would he kill him? Su Peisheng hesitated, not knowing how to answer Yinzhen's question.

Seeing Su Peisheng lowering his head and not saying anything for a long time, Yinzhen also felt disheartened.

"Forget it, why should I ask you this question? You saw it, she did it. At that time, I hid in the corner, watching Longkodo embrace my mother in his arms, holding her tightly. The feeling in my heart is something that others cannot understand. I just can't understand why she treated my father like this. My father is the emperor!"

At this point, Yinzhen could no longer be strong. He covered his head and remained silent. At this moment, his former mother no longer existed! He even didn't want to see that woman, but this world is always so unsatisfactory. She happened to be his mother, the future Holy Mother Empress Dowager!

"This secret has been kept in my heart." Yinzhen said in a very low voice.

"Yes, I will keep it in mind."

Su Peisheng had never seen Yinzhen so negative before. Although he had served Yinzhen for many years and could figure out all of Yinzhen's thoughts, at this moment, he didn't know how to persuade him. He was silent for a long time, and the study was particularly quiet. At this time, giving Yinzhen some space and letting him be quiet was the best way to heal his wounds.

Although Yinzhen pretended to be indifferent in front of Yixiu and Nian Shilan, and everything was no different from the past, his sadness and heartache would often burst out when he was alone.

"Your Highness, how about I accompany you for a walk to relax your mind?" After a moment's silence, Su Peisheng spoke.

"Alright."

As luck would have it, just as they were about to go out to relax, they ran into someone from the palace. They stopped at the door. The eunuch hurriedly walked up to Yinzhen and greeted him, "I greet the prince. The Empress Defei invites you to enter the palace."

Defei, something is wrong. Su Peisheng was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He slowly raised his head and looked at Yinzhen. Under the bright sunlight, Yinzhen said nothing and stared into the distance. He had a dark face and looked intimidating without being angry. This was the calm before the storm!

"De Fei, very good!"

Suddenly, he threw the bracelet heavily to the ground, and the fine imperial green jadeite scattered all over the ground. As the bracelet scattered, his heart was also broken, and he felt the pain as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Seeing Yinzhen so angry, Su Peisheng quickly sent the young eunuch away.

He hurriedly picked up the beads on the ground and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being too talkative, but I still want to speak."

"You know you're being nosy, yet you still keep talking! You're doing an increasingly good job." Yinzhen immediately retorted in annoyance.

Su Peisheng also said bitterly: "I know that the prince is angry and doesn't want to see the Empress Defei or mention her, but she is your biological mother after all! You can see her less often, but you must not miss her. Although she... she has never done anything to let the prince down. She has always made plans for you and considered you. Think about it, why is she doing this?"

"But she is the emperor's woman, how could she!" Yinzhen said angrily, shouting loudly.

"Your Highness, please listen to my advice. It is true that she is the emperor's concubine, but she is also your mother! The Empress Defei sent someone here to deliver a message, so it must be something important. Your Highness should go." Su Peisheng persuaded Yinzhen earnestly. Although Yinzhen was extremely reluctant, what Su Peisheng said was not unreasonable.

"Greetings to the Empress Defei." Yinzhen kept his head down the whole time when paying his respects, not wanting to look at the Empress Defei. And the address also changed from "mother" to "Empress Defei".

Defei also noticed the change in address, and perhaps guessed the reason. After all, she was the one who did it, so she couldn't say anything, nor could she ask more questions. She stared at Yinzhen blankly for a while, without saying anything.

The mother and son became so estranged from each other that they both became cautious.

"I wonder why Concubine De asked me to come to the palace?" Yinzhen was a little impatient. He didn't want to stay here any longer.

"I have selected several beauties for you. They all have good qualifications. It's up to you to decide whether to keep them or not." As Defei said this, she handed the name tags of the beauties to Yinzhen.

"I have set the selection date for tomorrow, in Yonghe Palace. You just need to come there tomorrow."

"Popular Arts?" Yinzhen was puzzled as to why there was a popular arts contest.

"It's time for you to enrich your own palace. Now you have only one eldest son, Hongshi. I think he is stupid. This is not good. What our royal family values ​​most is offspring. It would be better to have more children so that you can have more descendants." Defei continued.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival incident, Yinzhen had no intention of participating in the selection. He looked at the name tag in his hand and bowed his head to decline: "My son thinks that Yixiu, Shilan and Wanting are already very good. They really don't need so many people to serve them."

"Now that these signs have been delivered, you should keep one or two. You can't just return them all unopened, or people will gossip about you."

Yinzhen took a quick look and said, "Wang Qiuyue, Jiang Caiwei, Guarjia Zelan, Fei Yunyan, Shen Miaozi, Cao Qinmo... they are all vulgar people."

"No one may be perfect. As long as you can serve the prince wholeheartedly, you are good." Defei was helpless when she saw Yinzhen being so picky. She thought that he must be angry and was dissatisfied with everything.

"Just these two, no need to choose." Yinzhen threw two cards on the table, then turned and left.

Concubine De took a closer look and murmured, "Cao Qinmo and Fei Yunyan are both from the Han Army Banner. Well, go and inform these two families to prepare to enter the palace tomorrow."
