Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 104 Hint to Concubine Qi

When Zhen Huan looked at Wanrou in her arms, she always felt that the child who had been lost in the previous life had returned.

Concubine Hua has now adopted Wanrou as her goddaughter.

Although she couldn't get close to him openly, she had sneaked into Shuiyuxuan many times in private.

"I have never seen Sister Hua Fei like this before!"

"Look at how much you like Wanrou. You're almost catching up with me, your own mother!"

Zhen Huan couldn't help laughing as she watched Concubine Hua holding Wanrou in her arms with a loving look on her face.

Hua Fei gently rocked the child in her arms and said with a smile:

"I just like children now."

"Seeing this child crying and laughing in my arms, I feel at ease."

"Don't worry, sister. Sister Hua Fei will have her own children in the future."

"Then I'll borrow Sister Huan's good words!"

Concubine Hua has been in a good mood recently because of Nian Gengyao's change.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong gave birth to children one after another.

Concubine Hua also felt that there was hope in these days.

Jingren Palace.

The current situation in the palace is not what the Queen wants to see.

She ordered Jianqiu to call Concubine Qi over.

After Concubine Qi had just chatted with the Queen for a few words, she said sourly:

"Noble Lady Wan is now Concubine Wan, Concubine An is Noble Lady An, and even Noble Lady Fucha has a child!"

"For a concubine like me who is not favored by the Emperor, there will be no future for me!"

The Queen listened to Concubine Qi's complaints and rolled her eyes at her when she wasn't paying attention:

"If the emperor doesn't like it, then you should find a way to make him like it!"

"At least you have a Third Prince, and the Third Prince is the Emperor's eldest son. These are things they can't compare to for now!"

Every time the Queen chatted with Concubine Qi, she would mention the Third Prince. Concubine Qi felt happy when the Third Prince was mentioned.

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi's clear yet foolish eyes and couldn't help but look down on her in her heart.

But on second thought, isn't it the brainless person like Concubine Qi that she values?

She doesn't dare to hire people who are too smart.

"Princess Wan and Concubine An both gave birth to daughters. Although they are favored, they cannot surpass you for the time being.

"But we still don't know whether Noble Lady Fucha's baby is a boy or a girl..."

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi hesitantly, wanting to say something.

I noticed that Concubine Qi’s face had darkened.

The Queen smiled in her heart and continued to analyze the situation with Concubine Qi:

"The Emperor now has only three sons: the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince."

"But the only one who is kept by the emperor's side is the Third Prince."

"If Noble Fucha really gave birth to a fat, smart and clever prince, I'm afraid the Emperor..."

The Queen almost told Concubine Qi openly that if Noble Fucha gave birth to a prince, the status of them and their son would be in jeopardy!

"Looking at Noble Lady Fucha's arrogant look, can she possibly give birth to a prince?" Concubine Qi said it without even thinking.

Over the years, seeing that the Emperor valued the Third Prince more and more, Concubine Qi privately placed high expectations on the Third Prince.

When she heard that another concubine was going to give birth to a son, she seemed more excited than the queen.

As for the Queen, she liked to see Concubine Qi getting hot-headed.

Because only in this way could she remain calm and let Concubine Qi do things that are beneficial to her.

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi and smiled:

"Look at you, Concubine Qi. I just mentioned giving birth to a prince, and you're already anxious."

"Queen, I..."

Concubine Qi twisted the handkerchief in her hand nervously:

"Empress, you also know that I only have one son, the Third Prince. I cannot help but consider him!"

"I understand your thoughts."

"I have also watched Third Prince grow up since he was young, so how could I not love him?"

"But whether a baby is a boy or a girl is entirely up to fate, and it's not something you or I can control!"

Seeing Concubine Qi was anxious, the Queen relaxed instead.

"If there is any way to prevent Noble Fucha from having children, that would be great!"

Concubine Qi blurted out these words.

After hearing this, the queen's expression changed immediately:

"Princess Qi, how could you have such a vicious mind!"

"If all the concubines in the harem think like you, will the emperor still have children?"

The question Concubine Qi asked herself was what she wanted to ask herself.

Unexpectedly, she had no control over her mouth and said it out loud in front of the queen.

Jianqiu couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

Concubine Qi hurriedly bowed to the Queen:

"Your Majesty, I was just speaking out of turn."

"I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else!"

The queen pondered for a moment, then looked at Jianqiu and signaled her to help Concubine Qi up.

When Concubine Qi saw that the Queen did not seem to be blaming her, she gradually felt relieved.

With the help of Jianqiu, she sat down carefully.

"I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today."

"Just Qi Fei, you have to remember, you can't say the same thing a second time."

"If someone hears and reports it to the emperor, I may not be able to protect you even if I want to."

The Queen knew very well that Concubine Qi was stupid and did not know how to judge people, so she would believe whoever said good things to her.

The Queen took advantage of this and would speak up to help her every time she had a conflict with Concubine Hua.

After a few interactions, Concubine Qi began to believe in the Queen.

Sure enough, when Concubine Qi heard the Queen's words, she said with gratitude:

"Thank you very much, Queen, for not blaming me. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and not let you down."

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi with a look of relief.

Then, he smiled and looked at Jianqiu beside him and said:

"Jianqiu, it's almost time for lunch. Go to the Yanxi Palace and ask Noble Lady Fucha what she wants to eat, and then tell the imperial kitchen to prepare it."

"Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant, so we must not neglect her."

While the Queen was speaking, she kept glancing at Concubine Qi out of the corner of her eyes.

It seems that it was said for Concubine Qi to hear.

Concubine Qi quickly stood up and praised:

"The Queen is truly virtuous."

The queen gave Jianqiu another look, and Jianqiu understood.

She glanced at Concubine Qi, then at the Queen:

"Empress, I heard that Noble Lady Fucha has been particularly fond of eating fish and shrimp recently, and has eaten them almost every meal. I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Is there anything wrong with eating fish and shrimp?"

The Queen glanced at Concubine Qi again.

Jianqiu continued what he had just said:

"To answer your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with these fish and shrimps."

"Since there is nothing wrong, you can just tell the imperial kitchen to prepare it every day."

"But I heard that fish and shrimp cannot be eaten together with cinnabar."

"I was afraid that if the imperial kitchen was careless..."

Jianqiu glanced at Concubine Qi meaningfully.

Concubine Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had caught some information.

The Queen was afraid that Concubine Qi was too stupid and wouldn't understand what she was saying.

I specifically asked Jianqiu again:

"Jianqiu, what do you think will happen if we eat fish and shrimp with cinnabar?"

"I heard that putting these two things together and heating them will produce a toxin that is not good for the fetus or the mother..."

When the Queen saw Concubine Qi's eyes moving back and forth, she knew that she had secretly memorized it.

"Then you should tell the people in the imperial kitchen to be more careful when they do their work."

The corner of the queen's mouth raised, revealing a cold arc, but then it disappeared.
