The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After paying respects the next day, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong went to Sui Yuxuan together to chat with Zhen Huan and relieve their boredom.

Zhen Huan had heard the news that An Lingrong had successfully served the emperor in the bed early in the morning, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This time, An Lingrong served the emperor much earlier than in her dream, and it was much smoother. In her dream, An Lingrong's first time serving the emperor was unsuccessful, and she was rejected by the emperor. Because she returned the jade intact, she was ridiculed by the harem for a long time. The second time she served the emperor in the bed was when she was in the Summer Palace for summer vacation. Mei Jiejie was pregnant. After Mei Jiejie reminded her, she brought An Lingrong to the Summer Palace. It was only after she introduced An Lingrong that she succeeded in serving the emperor in the bed. Could it be just an absurd dream?

Zhen Huan was suspicious, so she tried to test him: "I heard that you also slept with the emperor yesterday, and the emperor noticed you."

As Zhen Huan spoke, she looked happy for An Lingrong and stared at her.

An Lingrong lowered her head and smiled, saying, "Sister, please stop teasing me. Thanks to Concubine Hua, otherwise I'm afraid the Emperor would never notice me."

When Zhen Huan heard An Lingrong mention Concubine Hua, she asked a few more questions, "Does your sleeping with Concubine Hua have anything to do with her?" Zhen Huan couldn't help but think that in her dream, Concubine Hua was jealous by nature and would never allow such a thing to happen.

Shen Meizhuang also looked at An Lingrong with a face full of ignorance, and suddenly remembered that Concubine Hua had summoned An Lingrong to sing in her palace yesterday, so she asked, "Was it Concubine Hua who introduced her yesterday?"

An Lingrong said shyly, "Yes, yesterday, Concubine Hua was chatting with us. She heard that I could sing, so she passed me in front of the Emperor and asked me to sing for them. This aroused the Emperor's interest in me, and that's why I slept with him last night."

When Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan heard An Lingrong say this, Zhen Huan also remembered that she had heard yesterday that Concubine Hua had said that An Lingrong went to Yikun Palace, but she did not care.

"So it seems that Concubine Hua is quite kind, completely different from the rumors outside." Shen Meizhuang said.

Zhen Huan thought about her dream carefully. The Concubine Hua in the dream and the Concubine Hua now were so different. She couldn't sort out her thoughts for a while, and then she remembered something and asked.

"I heard that the emperor is very majestic, so aren't you afraid when you see him?"

An Lingrong didn't take Zhen Huan's question too seriously. She thought for a moment and said truthfully, "I am a little scared, but it's not that hard to control."

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to tell them what happened yesterday, and whispered: "Actually, something else happened here yesterday."

When Shen Meizhuang heard this, she quickly looked at An Lingrong.

Zhen Huan also intuitively felt that what An Lingrong was going to say next might be related to the doubts in her heart, so she listened attentively.

Seeing that they were all looking at her seriously, An Lingrong continued without hesitation, "Yesterday, the Queen gave her a bowl of Jade Platform Golden Cup. After a while, Song Zhi, who was beside Concubine Hua, came and said that Concubine Hua and the Queen had always been at odds. After Concubine Hua summoned me to her Yikun Palace, she was afraid that the Queen would embarrass me, so she kept an eye on it. She also saw the Jade Platform Golden Cup and reminded me to stay away from it because its juice is poisonous. If you are poisoned, you will tremble all over."

As soon as Zhen Huan heard it, she understood. No wonder An Lingrong failed to serve the emperor in her dream. With the Queen's foresight, no concubine could be favored without her consent.

Shen Meizhuang covered her mouth in surprise after hearing this: "The Queen..."

An Lingrong nodded and said nothing more, but everyone knew that the Queen was not as peaceful and generous as she appeared to be.

Zhen Huan recalled what had happened since she entered the palace until now, and most of them were exactly the same as in her dream. It seemed that she had foreseen what would happen later? What about Concubine Hua? Was she the same as herself, or?

There are always unexpected changes in the plot when it comes to Concubine Hua. Zhen Huan remembered that the ending of Concubine Hua in her dream was to be demoted to the cold palace. She mistakenly thought that Concubine Hua killed her and the emperor's first child, so she ran to the cold palace and forced her to death. Their Nian family was also executed.

But now it seems that is not entirely true. Zhen Huan couldn't figure it out. Now that Shen Meiyu and An Lingrong were both in her palace, it was not appropriate to continue thinking about it, so she smiled and changed the subject.

"Sister Mei and Sister An have been sleeping with the emperor in succession. If you two can catch the emperor's eye, I'm afraid you will enjoy endless glory in the future." Zhen Huan said with a smile as she looked at Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong.

Shen Meizhuang slapped Zhen Huan's arm in embarrassment and said to An Lingrong, "Look at this Huan'er, she's actually making fun of you and me."

An Lingrong also blushed as she looked at Zhen Huan.

The three people in the room burst into laughter. After a while, Zhen Huan said with a serious face: "Although I am very happy that you two are sleeping with me, you two must be careful and not be careless. The people in the harem are like man-eating monsters. You must be careful and cautious."

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong nodded. Shen Meizhuang said with emotion: "Since entering the palace, Huan'er has become much calmer."

Zhen Huan smiled bitterly, "I don't want to either, but this palace is not a place where people with simple minds can survive."

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong felt the same way. An Lingrong asked, "How is your sister? Is she feeling better?"

Zhen Huan smiled and nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry."

At this time, the palace maid from Xianfu Palace came in to report: "Lady Shen, the emperor has moved to Xianfu Palace and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring you a lot of green chrysanthemums. I want you to take a look and see if you like them."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan and An Lingrong with an embarrassed look on her face. They both said in unison, "Sister, go quickly. Don't keep the emperor waiting for too long."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang nodded and let Caiyue support her as she walked towards Xianfu Palace.

Seeing this, An Lingrong also stood up and said goodbye, "Then I will return to my own palace first. Take good care of yourself, sister, and try to recover as soon as possible so that you can sleep with me."

Because Zhen Huan was still thinking about something, she didn't keep An Lingrong for long. She nodded and waved goodbye to her.

When Zhen Huan was the only one left in the palace, she began to think carefully about what had gone wrong and why everything always had a different turn when it came to Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she decided to wait and see what would happen next. If Hua Fei knew how the situation would develop, she would definitely come after her.

As soon as Shen Meizhuang entered the gate of Xianfu Palace, she saw the courtyard filled with green chrysanthemums, which was very beautiful.

The emperor was standing at the door of Changxi Hall waiting for her. Shen Meizhuang hurriedly stepped forward to salute the emperor, "I didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I made the emperor wait for so long. Please forgive me."

The emperor waved his hand nonchalantly and asked Shen Meizhuang to stand up. "It's okay. Come and see if you like these green chrysanthemums."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the green chrysanthemums all over the yard and was very moved: "I like them, thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor saw the uncontrollable joy on Shen Meizhuang's face and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you, who look so delicate and weak, would actually like Lu Ju."

Shen Meizhuang stared into the emperor's eyes and said word by word: "I love the style of chrysanthemums very much. I would rather die with fragrance on the branches than be blown away by the north wind."

When the emperor heard Shen Meizhuang's words, he was speechless, "I didn't know that my Concubine Shen was so proud. Very good."

Then he took Shen Meizhuang's hand and walked towards the entrance of Changxi Hall, looking at the plaque above, "This plaque looks like the name of an old study. How about changing it to Cunju Hall from now on?"

Shen Meizhuang listened to the emperor's words and nodded in response, "The emperor's name is naturally very good."
