The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor stopped, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Bitong Academy. I haven't been to Concubine Xi's place for a long time."

Su Peisheng heard the emperor's order and nodded, "Go to Bitong Academy."

When the emperor arrived at Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan had just finished washing up and had not had time to rest. When Zhen Huan saw the emperor, she bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and stretched out his hands to help her up.

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, why are you here so late? Have you had dinner?"

The emperor sat on the couch and said, "I just finished dealing with government affairs. I haven't been to your place for a long time, so I thought of coming to see you. I didn't feel hungry on the way, but now I am really a little hungry."

When Zhen Huan heard that the emperor was a little hungry, she told Liu Zhu, "Liu Zhu, go make some snacks for the emperor."

After Liuzhu took the order, the emperor leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. Zhen Huan walked to the emperor's side, and Huanbi helped Zhen Huan take off the finger guards. Then Zhen Huan put her hands on the emperor's eyebrows and gently rubbed his temples. She said in a very gentle voice: "Your Majesty, don't be too tired in everything. Be careful of your body."

The emperor hummed, allowed Zhen Huan to serve him, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

After a while, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, held Zhen Huan's hand, and said with a smile: "With Huan Huan by my side, I feel much more at ease." Zhen Huan smiled slightly, "It is also a blessing for me to be able to accompany the emperor."

At this time, Liuzhu came in with some snacks. Zhen Huan personally peeled an orange for the emperor and handed it to him, "This orange is sweet and sour, please try it." The emperor took the orange, tasted a slice, nodded and praised, "Not bad, Huan Huan is thoughtful."

The two of them ate snacks and chatted. The emperor asked Zhen Huan about some recent situations, and Zhen Huan answered them one by one. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, as if time had stopped.

"I heard an interesting thing recently." The emperor said with a smile.

"Oh? What's so interesting?" Zhen Huan asked curiously.

"There is a restaurant outside the Summer Palace that has launched a new dish called 'Dragon and Phoenix', which is said to be extremely delicious."

The emperor glanced at Zhen Huan and continued, "I intend to go and taste it, but I wonder if Huan Huan is willing to go with me?"

"It would be great to be able to leave the palace with the emperor." Zhen Huan replied with a smile.

"Then I will take you and Shilan there tomorrow." The emperor said lovingly, holding Zhen Huan's hand.

Zhen Huan was very happy to hear the emperor's words, "Okay, I will wait for the emperor."

After the emperor had his snack, he looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late, Huanhuan, please go to bed with me."

Zhen Huan took the emperor's arm and entered the bedroom. The emperor got on the bed first, and Zhen Huan slowly took off her clothes, revealing her skin as white as mutton fat jade. She climbed onto the bed and gently leaned into the emperor's arms.

The emperor stroked Zhen Huan's hair and whispered, "I haven't held you like this for a long time."

Zhen Huan responded shyly, "So do I."

The two of them slept in each other's arms and spent a wonderful night together.

The next morning, when the emperor opened his eyes, the sun was already high in the sky. Since he was not in the palace, he did not have to attend the morning court every day. The emperor slept until he woke up naturally, which was a rare occasion. The emperor was in a very happy mood.

The emperor lowered his head and looked at Zhen Huan in his arms. On the bed, the girl was sleeping peacefully, with a faint shadow under her thick eyelashes and even breathing sounds coming from her nose. Her long hair was spread on the pillow. When she closed her eyes, she was not as dignified as usual, but more peaceful, making her look more childish.

The emperor suddenly became playful and stretched out his hand to pinch Zhen Huan's nose. Zhen Huan was awakened by the sudden feeling of suffocation, her eyes full of fear. When she saw that the person pinching her nose was the emperor, she breathed a long sigh of relief and rubbed against the emperor's arms like a spoiled kitten, "Silang is bad, scaring me so early in the morning."

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard Si Lang, whom he had not heard for a long time. Then he smiled and rubbed Zhen Huan's forehead and said, "Well, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go to the restaurant with me to try it? It's already noon, and you still refuse to get up. Are you not planning to go?"

When Zhen Huan heard the emperor talking about the restaurant, she quickly climbed out of the emperor's arms and said, "Silang, can we go now?"

The emperor smiled and nodded, "Well, you should wear some ordinary clothes and don't be too ostentatious. I plan to go on a private visit. I will also tell the Royal Concubine, and we will set off together later."

Zhen Huan nodded happily, "Okay, I'll get ready right away."

If the Emperor knew what clothes Zhen Huan would wear later, he would definitely not leave Zhen Huan and go to Qingliang Palace, but would force her to take them off and change into new ones. Unfortunately, there is no if in everything.

When the emperor went to Qingliang Palace, Nian Shilan had just woken up. When the emperor entered the palace, he saw Nian Shilan lying lazily on the couch, tasting the fruit in the ice jar in her hand.

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor. Since the emperor repeatedly said that she didn't need to stand up to salute, Nian Shilan also lazily leaned on the couch, looked at the emperor and smiled and said, "Why is the emperor here? Is it hot outside?"

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with amusement and said, "It's not hot outside. Get up and change your clothes. I will take you to a restaurant."

When Nian Shilan heard that she could go out, she instantly perked up, "Really? Then I'll go wash and dress up right away." After saying that, she asked Songzhi to help her get up and dress up.

The emperor also asked Nian Shilan to dress casually. After Nian Shilan agreed, the emperor returned to his Qinzheng Palace to change his clothes.

Not long after, the three of them and their personal servants met at the gate of the Summer Resort.

When the emperor saw Zhen Huan's dress, he almost gasped. Nian Shilan was also very surprised and asked, "Empress Xi, what are you doing?"

Zhen Huan took a look at her outfit and realized that there was nothing wrong with it. She looked at the emperor and Nian Shilan with an innocent look on her face and said, "Didn't the emperor ask me to dress more casually?"

Nian Shilan glanced at the emperor with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. The emperor's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "I asked you to dress normally, but what have you done now?"

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with a puzzled look on her face and said, "Your Majesty, I never had the opportunity to leave the Zhen Mansion before I entered the palace. I don't know how ordinary girls dress when they go out."

Just when Zhen Huan finished the first half of her sentence, she saw Nian Shilan glancing at her with a half-smile in her eyes.

Zhen Huan saw Nian Shi Lan's eyes and blinked at her slyly, without any fear. Nian Shi Lan's mouth twitched, wondering what Zhen Huan was going crazy for.
