The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

As they were talking, Zhen Huan and the other two arrived at Jingren Palace and entered the hall together, ready to pay their respects to the Queen.

"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress." After Zhen Huan and the other two entered the palace, they saw that the Empress was already sitting on the throne. All the other concubines, except Xia Da Ying who was still in confinement, were also present. They knelt hurriedly to pay their respects.

The Queen naturally knew that the Emperor had violated the rules and stayed in Suiyu Pavilion yesterday, but she didn't say anything. She still sat upright, looking gentle and virtuous: "Get up quickly."

After Zhen Huan and the others had taken their seats, Concubine Qi said jealously, "This Wan Chang may seem insignificant on weekdays, but her methods of seducing the Emperor are truly amazing. She was able to get the Emperor to come to her bedroom on her first night with him. How wonderful."

Zhen Huan was not the type to let others off with words. Before anyone could say anything, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "In terms of means, how dare I compare with Concubine Qi? After all, Concubine Qi has a third prince, the only prince in the palace. The sisters in the harem should learn from Concubine Qi and have children for the royal family as soon as possible."

Zhen Huan's words were really sinister. She was almost saying that you were not favored but you had a child. Who knows how you got this child?

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Nian Shilan covered her mouth and laughed. Zhen Huan was still the same, but in the last life, she was often infuriated by Zhen Huan's eloquence, and in this life, it was time for someone else to experience her previous suffering.

Just when Concubine Qi was about to say something, Su Peisheng arrived.

As soon as the queen saw Su Peisheng, she quickly and gently said, "Eunuch Su, are you here to convey any message from the emperor?"

Su Peisheng also said respectfully: "It happens that all the ladies and young ladies are here, and I will convey the emperor's order."

After saying this, he turned around and looked at Wan Changzai, saying, "Please kneel down and accept my order."

When Zhen Huan heard this, she knelt down immediately. Everyone understood that the emperor was probably going to promote Concubine Wan.

There were indeed examples in the palace of people being promoted after serving the emperor in bed, so people did not take it seriously. Now she is Concubine Wan, and after being promoted, she will just be a noble lady, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Just when everyone was thinking about this, they heard Su Peisheng say.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Wanpin Zhen, has been granted the throne by Heaven and is the heir of the imperial court. I hope that she will cultivate virtue and self-discipline, maintain harmony in the imperial court, serve the Emperor diligently, and continue to have descendants. I decree this."

When Zhen Huan heard the decree of promotion, she thanked him calmly. "Thank you, my Lord."

Su Peisheng also said respectfully: "The emperor has instructed me to do something, and I have done it. If the queen has nothing else to do, I will leave."

The Queen heard that Zhen Huan was promoted twice and was promoted to Wanpin, and the Emperor did not inform her, and even stayed overnight in Suiyuxuan yesterday. She was so jealous that her teeth were about to break, and she saw that everyone in the audience was looking at her without blinking. She had to force a smile and waved to Su Peisheng, signaling him to leave.

After Su Peisheng left, the queen was in no mood to talk to the concubines, so she asked them to return to the palace.

The concubines in the palace have different thoughts, but Nian Shilan is really happy. The more the emperor likes Concubine Wan, the greater her chances of success.

Nian Shilan returned to her Yikun Palace in a good mood. At this time, Zhou Ninghai also came to report: "Your Majesty, the emperor just sent Xiao Xiazi to say that General Nian and Madam Nian can enter the palace today. General Nian will go to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor first. The emperor asked Madam Nian to come to the palace to chat with you first."

When Nian Shilan heard that her brother and sister-in-law would come to see her soon, she was very happy and quickly told Songzhi: "Go to the kitchen and prepare some desserts that sister-in-law likes."

Then he said to Lingzhi, "Go get some good tea and let my sister-in-law taste it later."

Nian Shilan was busy happily, and suddenly everyone in Yiku Palace started to move, hurriedly but in an orderly manner.

The Yikun Palace was filled with joy and everyone had smiles on their faces.

The emperor continued to be busy with government affairs. He remembered what Zhen Huan said to him when they stayed at Sui Yuxuan yesterday. He wanted to make up for Zhen Huan's wedding night, so he called Su Peisheng.

"Go and tell the palace maids in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I want to reward Concubine Wan with a favor in the Pepper Room. Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to grind pepper into powder and mix it with mud to smear on the walls of the bedroom where Concubine Wan lives in Suiyuxuan. Then prepare some jujubes, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds, and arrange everything according to the folk wedding customs."

Su Peisheng was shocked when he heard the emperor's words. He didn't expect that the emperor would value Wanpin so much. He had just been promoted to a higher rank, and he was going to reward her with the title of Pepper Room. This was really an honor that ordinary people could not enjoy. The last person who was rewarded with the title of Pepper Room by the emperor was Concubine Hua, and even the queen did not have this honor. He began to warn himself in his heart that he must pay more attention to everything related to Wanpin in the future.

Seeing that the emperor had no other instructions, Su Peisheng hurriedly went to the Imperial Household Department to give these instructions. Huang Guiquan saw Su Peisheng coming and hurriedly went forward to greet him, "Eunuch Su, how come you have time to come to the Imperial Household Department? But does the emperor have anything for us to do? Just send someone to inform us, why bother Eunuch Su to come here?"

Su Peisheng glanced at Huang Guiquan and said with a smile, "I am also delivering the emperor's oral order. The emperor wants to reward Concubine Wan with a high position in the imperial chamber, and he also wants to arrange the wedding according to folk marriage customs. You can decide for yourself."

Huang Guiquan couldn't help but understand Su Peisheng's meaning after hearing this, and he immediately smiled and thanked him, "On behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I would like to thank Eunuch Su for his advice. We will definitely do a good job and make sure that the Emperor will not find any mistakes."

Su Peisheng reminded again, "Don't forget that dates give birth to cassia seeds."

Huang Guiquan nodded repeatedly and asked his subordinates to prepare quickly. Su Peisheng couldn't delay for too long. He was afraid that his subordinates would not be able to serve the emperor well, so he quickly returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Huang Guiquan thought that the emperor wanted to give Concubine Wan a surprise and probably didn't want Concubine Wan to see it, so he ordered his men to go to Suiyuxuan and tell the eunuch in charge there to invite Concubine Wan to take a walk somewhere else.

After Kang Luhai and his men were driven away by Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan asked Xiao Yunzi to be the eunuch in charge of Sui Yu Xuan. After the people sent by Huang Guiquan told Xiao Yunzi, Xiao Yunzi hurried from Sui Yu Xuan to the Queen's palace and met Zhen Huan on the way.

Xiao Yunzi smiled and said to Zhen Huan, "My lady, the scenery is beautiful today, why don't we go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll?"

When Zhen Huan saw Xiao Yunzi coming and not letting her go back to the palace, she thought that the emperor might have prepared a concubine for her like in her previous life, so she didn't expose it, "I have nothing to do, so I want to go to An Changzai's palace to sit for a while."

When Xiao Yunzi heard this, his eyebrows were bright with joy, "Okay, I will accompany you right away."

Cui Jinxi and Huanbi looked at each other when they saw Xiao Yunzi's happy expression. They both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Cui Jinxi smiled and said, "This Xiao Yunzi is like a monkey. Is there any good news?"

Xiao Yunzi scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said, "I saw that the young master has concubines who are on good terms with you in the palace, and I am happy for you."

Seeing this, Zhen Huan couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed. After laughing, she stretched out a finger and touched Xiao Yunzi's forehead, "What a day you've had..."

Everyone walked towards the Yanxi Palace where Concubine An was staying, laughing.
