The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Considering that the last time the Third Prince was confined by the Emperor, he was able to run out and make trouble, disturbing Nian Shilan's fetus. This time the Emperor sent many guards to guard the gate of the Third Prince's palace.

This was undoubtedly a very difficult time for the Third Prince, and his resentment towards Nian Shilan and the Emperor grew day by day.

Wu De, the personal eunuch of the Third Prince, whispered beside the Third Prince: "Master, you can't be confined by the Emperor like this forever, otherwise the Empress might whisper something in the Emperor's ear, be careful that the Emperor won't favor you anymore in the future."

When the Third Prince heard Wu De's words, his face became so gloomy as if water could drip out of it. "I won't give in so easily!" The Third Prince said gritting his teeth.

Seeing this, Wu De quickly agreed, "Master, you are right. I will definitely help you find a solution."

When Zhen Huan learned that the Third Prince was under house arrest again, Nian Shilan became the Queen and gave birth to the Fourth Princess Yaoguang, she was very happy and prepared some gifts and came to Qingliang Palace to visit Nian Shilan.

Zhen Huan came to Qingliang Palace and bowed to Nian Shilan, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."

Nian Shilan saw Zhen Huan and smiled and asked her to stand up, "Get up, why are you here today?"

Zhen Huan presented the gift she had brought, and then said with a smile: "Now that the emperor's decree has spread throughout the Yuanmingyuan Mountain Resort, how could I not know about it? Naturally, I came to congratulate the queen and to see Princess Yaoguang."

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Nian Shilan smiled, but the corners of her lips could not hide the sadness. Seeing this, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Is Princess Yaoguang sleeping now?"

Nian Shilan nodded and said, "Yes, the nurse is coaxing the princess to sleep."

When talking about Yaoguang, Nian Shilan's face was full of tenderness, and the radiance of motherhood could not be concealed.

While Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were chatting, the fourth princess Yaoguang woke up and started crying. The wet nurse couldn't coax her down no matter what she did. She was secretly wondering why the fourth princess was the most intelligent one among all the children she had taken care of. She liked to stick to her mother and would see her mother on time as soon as she woke up.

The fourth princess's wet nurse couldn't persuade Yaoguang, the little crybaby, so she had to take Yaoguang to Nian Shilan.

No one would have known that the moment Yaoguang saw her mother, she stopped crying. Her little mouth was still pouted a little aggrieved, but she stared at her mother without blinking.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan quickly reached out and took Xiao Yaoguang from the nurse's arms, then coaxed her gently, "Oh~ my dear, have you woken up? Do you miss me?"

Little Yaoguang was in Nian Shilan's arms, looking at her mother without blinking. Nian Shilan felt that she was melted in Xiao Yaoguang's loving eyes.

When Zhen Huan saw the lovely Yaoguang, she couldn't help but praise her a few words. She also took out a longevity lock from her sleeve and gave it to Yaoguang.

After thanking Zhen Huan, Nian Shilan played with little Yaoguang for a long time. Then, when little Yaoguang was once again overwhelmed by sleepiness, she let the wet nurse take Yaoguang away.

Seeing Nian Shilan's eyes fixed on Yaoguang, Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought that Your Majesty would be so gentle one day."

Hearing this, Nian Shilan smiled a little embarrassedly. Then she thought of something and looked at Zhen Huan and asked, "Have you received any news in recent days?"

Zhen Huan naturally understood what Nian Shilan was asking and shook her head. "I haven't noticed anything unusual recently. I have also sent people to observe secretly. Everything is normal as usual."

Nian Shilan nodded. These days she had been wondering why the emperor was so concerned about her brother. She suspected that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to do something, but she couldn't figure out the clues or ideas, and Nian Shilan was a little discouraged.

Zhen Huan naturally noticed that Nian Shilan was unhappy and changed the subject, "I heard that the Third Prince came to the palace and made a scene a few days ago?"

Nian Shilan nodded with a headache and said, "Yes, if it was in the past, I would not let him off easily and would make Third Prince pay the price! But today is different from the past. The Emperor is already so wary of our Nian family. If I continue to hold on to Third Prince, I am really worried that the Emperor will be even more suspicious of my family!"

Zhen Huan also nodded in agreement, and then said with some concern: "I am afraid that the Third Prince will not give up easily."

Nian Shilan naturally thought of this, but there was no better way now, so she could only let the Third Prince be confined to his home by the Emperor.

"Now that he is under house arrest by the emperor, he shouldn't cause any big trouble." Seeing that Nian Shilan was frowning, Zhen Huan still spoke to comfort him.

Nian Shilan nodded, "But we still have to be on guard, he is a prince after all."

"Your Majesty is right, but in my opinion, the Third Prince is so impulsive and reckless that it will be difficult for him to achieve great things even if he leaves the palace in the future." Zhen Huan raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Nian Shilan glanced at Zhen Huan and deeply agreed with her guess.

Zhen Huan suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, do you know that the Fourth Prince is in the Yuanmingyuan Villa?"

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Nian Shilan thought for a long time and finally remembered the Fourth Prince. Zhen Huan met the Fourth Prince in the Old Summer Palace in her previous life and felt some sympathy for him. She then brought him back to the palace and raised him under Zhen Huan's own name.

Nian Shilan asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly mention the Fourth Prince now?"

Zhen Huan smiled complacently, "If the Third Prince heard that we were very kind to the Fourth Prince and that the Emperor also valued the Fourth Prince, would the Third Prince lose his composure and do something that would be detrimental to him?"

Nian Shilan still didn't understand what Zhen Huan meant. "Now that the Third Prince is the Emperor's eldest son, and I don't have a son, the Emperor will definitely value the Third Prince. If you want the Third Prince to completely disgust the Emperor, it will be difficult."

Zhen Huan said disdainfully: "If the Third Prince violates the Emperor's taboo and the Emperor is furious, nothing is impossible."

Zhen Huan was reborn, and she no longer had the compassionate heart of the bodhisattva in her previous life. Now she only wanted to protect her family, but the Third Prince targeted Nian Shilan. Zhen Huan knew too well how fickle the Emperor's heart was. If the Emperor really believed the Third Prince's words and had a grudge against Nian Shilan, then she would have to fight alone in the palace again. Zhen Huan was unwilling to do so. Now that she and Nian Shilan had become close friends, Zhen Huan still hoped from the bottom of her heart that Nian Shilan could always remain in a high position and remain undefeated.

As for Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, it's not that Zhen Huan doesn't believe them, but Shen Meizhuang still has some feelings for the emperor. As for An Lingrong's background, if it weren't for Nian Shilan and her secret help, the position of concubine would have been the limit for An Lingrong.
