Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Shen Meizhuang said to comfort him:

"A hero's origins are not important. My sister is beautiful, so why should you belittle yourself?"

During the conversation, the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict came over and told An Lingrong to come and see the emperor.

An Lingrong held in her hands the earrings that Zhen Huan gave her.

He turned around and looked at Zhen Huan with gratitude, then hurried to the palace for the selection.

Zhen Huan knew that An Lingrong would get what she wanted this time, so she was not worried about her.

But thinking about meeting the emperor soon, Zhen Huan started to get nervous.

Thinking about how she had colluded with Concubine Ning to kill the Emperor in her previous life, she felt extremely guilty.

To the country, he was a good monarch, and to her, he was also a good husband.

Zhen Huan has no other wish in this life except to be with him for life.

Just then, Huang Guiquan came over and asked her, Shen Meizhuang, Sun Miaoqing... and the others to go and see the emperor.

Even after going through so many ups and downs, Zhen Huan felt chills in her heart when she thought that the person she was about to meet was the emperor who had been angered to death by her in the previous life.

But after all, she had to thank her experience in the palace in her previous life, which allowed her to maintain a calm expression.

Soon they arrived at the Tiyuan Hall.

Zhen Huan did not immediately look up at the emperor sitting in the hall.

She knew the etiquette of the palace. If she was seen looking around by the emperor or the empress dowager, it would be considered as impoliteness in the palace and a sign of ignorance of the rules.

At the very least, you may be fired, and at worst, your family may be affected.

This matter can be big or small, it all depends on the emperor's wishes.

We'll meet sooner or later anyway, so there's no need to take the risk.

"Shen Meizhuang, daughter of Jeju Assistant Commander Shen Zishan, is seventeen years old."

The eunuch's thin voice came to Zhen Huan's ears.

Then she saw Shen Meizhuang, kneeling on the ground with dignity and respect, paying her respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Meizhuang and asked:

"Have you read any books?"

"I am a dull person. I have read the Women's Rules and Women's Instructions and I can recognize a few words."

Then, Zhen Huan heard the voice that she missed so much in her later years:

"Both of these books are about women's virtues, which is good. Have you read the Four Books?"

Shen Meizhuang said: "I have never read it."

Even if Zhen Huan didn't look at the emperor, she could guess that he was a little disappointed at the moment.

Although it is said that "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent";

But the emperor likes women who are knowledgeable in poetry and books.

That way you will have a lot of topics to talk about with him.

Even someone as versatile as An Lingrong suffered from her lack of literary talent.

Zhen Huan couldn't imagine what the result would be if An Lingrong knew poetry and books?

However, what Zhen Huan did not notice in her previous life was that Shen Meizhuang clearly understood poetry and literature, but deliberately pretended not to.

It seems that they are family members and they give advice.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the fact that Shen Meizhuang was not good at poetry and literature. She smiled and said:

"Most girls in families do needlework, so it's good that you can read."

The result was that Shen Meizhuang left a sign and gave a sachet.

When Zhen Huan thought back to her previous life, she was only concerned with choosing Shen Meizhuang.

As a result, when the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict called her name, her eyes had not yet left Shen Meizhuang.

This caused the eunuch to call her name twice.

Obviously that was very rude.

This time the eunuch who delivered the decree shouted:

"The daughter of Zhen Yuandao, Junior Official of the Dali Temple, aged seventeen."

She immediately knelt down and said:

"Your humble servant Zhen Huan pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. May the Emperor and the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

As for what questions the emperor was going to ask, Zhen Huan already knew them.

As expected, when the emperor heard Zhen Huan's name, he asked, "Zhen Huan, which character is Huan?"

She was wondering whether to use that poem to introduce her name.

The Empress Dowager doesn't like women who are knowledgeable in poetry and books because she is afraid that they will interfere in state affairs in the future, but the Emperor likes them.

Zhen Huan thought, after all, the Empress Dowager's liking is not as useful as the Emperor's liking it.

So she decided to keep everything as before, just to attract the emperor's attention like she did in her previous life.

"Hanhuan, a slender waist in the palace of Chu, is exactly the maiden name of this minister."

"Is it Cai Shen's words?"

"Yes."

The emperor said that Zhen Huan was well-versed in poetry and literature, and praised Zhen Yuandao for his good way of educating his daughter.

Then he asked Zhen Huan to raise her head to see if she was worthy of the name.

Zhen Huan raised her head obediently.

For a long while, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager spoke.

In her previous life, Zhen Huan didn't know the reason, nor could she understand the emperor's shock at this moment.

But after experiencing her previous life, she finally understood how surprised and happy the emperor was when he saw her face.

After all, this is a face that looks very similar to Chun Yuan.

No matter how many bad things Yixiu did in her previous life, the emperor would forgive her as long as she mentioned Chunyuan.

This shows how important Chun Yuan is in the emperor's heart.

Zhen Huan once didn't understand what kind of feelings the emperor had for Chun Yuan.

But when she later experienced life and death, she finally understood!

It’s not that Chun Yuan was really that good, but because she died at the moment when the emperor loved her the most.

So no matter what she really looks like.

In the emperor's heart, her beauty is eternal, and their love is eternal.

But only the dead can freeze beauty in eternity; the living cannot do it.

This is why Chun Yuan is so important.

If she had continued to live, any random thing she did later might have made the emperor dislike her.

At first, Zhen Huan was extremely heartbroken when she found out that she was Chun Yuan's substitute.

But when she was in her later years, she completely let it go!

The dead are dead forever, but the living can use the beautiful image of the dead to achieve their own goals.

Why not do this!

Take the Queen for example, she has used the word "sister" almost all her life, and she enjoys it!

Because "sister" can help her solve problems that she can't solve.

Zhen Huan thought, no wonder she was treated so badly by the Queen in her previous life!

It’s because I, at first, couldn’t see things as clearly as the queen.

In the harem, the emperor liked her because she looked like Chun Yuan.

But later on, the emperor fell in love with her because she was Zhen Huan.

Everyone will pursue what they like, but you can't deny the ending just because of the beginning.

Zhen Huan's head was sore from lifting it up, and then she heard the Queen Mother speak:

"The concubine's surname is Zhen, which violates the emperor's name."

This time Zhen Huan didn't say anything, because she knew that the Emperor would convince the Queen Mother to choose her no matter what.

The emperor stared at Zhen Huan for a long time and said, "Zhen is a good surname. It sounds like a loyal person."

"There are two Qiao sisters in Jiangnan, and Zhen Mi in Hebei is pretty. Zhen Mi is a beauty. Zhen Mi is one of the three great beauties in the late Han Dynasty."

Zhen Huan could hear the joy in the emperor's words.

But she knew that the Queen Mother would definitely test her again like she did in her previous life.

But after the hardships in her previous life, she was no longer afraid of cats.

And she also believed that, for her now, no matter what problems the Queen Mother posed, she could solve them well.

"Come forward."

Zhen Huan responded and stepped forward.

After she took a few steps, a young eunuch poured a cup of tea in front of her.

After walking a few more steps, Zhuxi, who was beside the Queen Mother, threw the cat in his arms to the ground.

Zhen Huan remained calm and not at all flustered.
