Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

The emperor smiled and said, "It seems that I have interrupted your conversation."

"That's not what I meant." Shen Meizhuang bowed slightly as she spoke.

With two beauties by his side, the emperor couldn't help but feel happy: "What did you two just say? Can you tell me?"

Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "It's just some private conversations between girls."

Zhen Huan also said: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, yet he still asks about our daughters' secrets. Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by others if he tells others about it?"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Meizhuang and they both laughed.

"Look at this." The emperor pointed at Zhen Huan and said to Shen Meizhuang, "Among all the concubines in my harem, she is the only one who dares to speak to me like this."

Shen Meizhuang glanced at Zhen Huan, put the handkerchief to her mouth and smiled:

"That's because the emperor favored her himself, but now he's talking about his sister."

Just as the emperor was about to continue speaking, Caixing came over to report:

"My lady, Concubine Hua just sent someone to report that she wants you to come to Yikun Palace to discuss something."

"Got it, I'll go right away."

What Zhen Huan thought was supposed to come finally came!

Just as Shen Meizhuang was about to say goodbye to the emperor, Zhen Huan took the lead:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Hua's Yikun Palace is adjacent to the Thousand Carp Pond. Although I have never been there, it is dark now and the lake water is cold. It looks scary. I am really worried about Sister Mei going there alone..."

Zhen Huan looked at Xiao Yunzi beside her again:

"Xiao Yunzi in my palace has some skills. I want Xiao Yunzi to follow Sister Mei. First, it will prevent Sister Mei from getting scared. Second, it will be dark and the road will be slippery. If anything goes wrong, Xiao Yunzi can protect Sister Mei. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his hand and motioned for Zhen Huan to stand up: "It's not difficult. Just let Xiao Yunzi go with Concubine Shen."

Zhen Huan thanked the emperor and pretended to be embarrassed: "It's just..."

"Just what? Lady Wan, just speak directly if you have something to say."

"It's just that... Xiao Yunzi is from my palace, and I'm worried that Concubine Hua will blame me for meddling in other people's business."

"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I would like to ask Xiao Yunzi not to show up and just protect Sister Mei in secret. This way, I can feel more at ease."

"Then I will do as you wish." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. The emperor was also a human being, and he also liked people who were loyal and righteous. Then he looked at Xiao Yunzi:

"Xiao Yunzi, did you hear what your young master said?"

As soon as the clever little Yunzi heard the emperor's question, he immediately knelt down in front of the emperor:

"I heard it. I will protect Lady Shen and make sure she doesn't get frightened."

Shen Meizhuang knew that Zhen Huan was afraid that Concubine Hua would trip her up, so she asked Xiao Yunzi to follow behind to protect her.

That's why she didn't interrupt when Zhen Huan was talking to the emperor just now.

In this way, Xiao Yunzi secretly followed Shen Meizhuang all the way to Yiku Palace.

Afterwards, in order to avoid being seen by Concubine Hua's people, he found a secret place to hide.

"May the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness. I wonder what instructions you have for me?"

When Shen Meizhuang entered the hall just now, she inadvertently saw that what Songzhi was holding in her hand was the copy of The Analects of Women that she had copied.

But this room is too dark. I guess Concubine Hua did it on purpose.

I think he is going to use this matter to make things difficult for her.

But this room

"I wonder if Concubine Shen has any objection to me asking you to copy the Analects of Women?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang bowed deeply and said, "I dare not. It is my honor that the Concubine Hua is willing to teach me."

"Don't dare?" Concubine Hua gave Songzhi a look. Songzhi understood and immediately handed the notebook in her hand to Shen Meizhuang to read.

"Mrs. Shen is a lady from a rich family after all, but her handwriting is so... petty and inconsistent. Doesn't she take me seriously at all?"

Shen Meizhuang looked at the handwriting she had copied. Although it was not perfect, she had done her best.

It would be fine if the font sizes were different, but how can this be considered petty?

Once a person's handwriting is formed, it is impossible to change it overnight!

Facing Hua Fei's deliberate provocations, Shen Meizhuang felt aggrieved but had no choice but to compromise:

"If Madam Hua Fei is not satisfied, I will take it back and make a copy."

"No need for that. Just copy it here, so that you don't have to go back and not study hard. I will have to ask someone to teach you again. It will bother me more than you do!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Now that she was inferior to others, Shen Meizhuang had to bow her head even though she was unwilling.

"You go ahead and copy it. I'll take a nap first." Concubine Hua closed her eyes and lay lazily on the couch:

"Songzhi, it's too bright in the palace. Turn off two more lights."

It's already dark enough. If you turn off two more lights, how can I see clearly and write?

Shen Meizhuang thought so in her heart, but she did not dare to hesitate at all in her actions.

When transcribing, Shen Meizhuang could hardly see clearly because the view was too dark.

She kept rubbing her eyes like that until they almost hurt. She finally made it to the last moment, but Concubine Hua let her go without even looking at her.

And what about Xiao Yunzi who was waiting outside? She looked around but didn't see any trace of Shen Meizhuang.

Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to leave for fear that something might happen to Shen Meizhuang and he would let down his master's trust.

Just when he was extremely anxious, he suddenly saw Shen Meizhuang and Caiyue walking towards him.

Shen Meizhuang looked around as if she was looking for something: "Why is Xiao Yunzi missing?"

Shen Meizhuang spoke softly to Caiyue beside her.

Caiyue also looked around and said, "My lady, have you forgotten that Lady Wan told us to follow secretly and not let anyone find us? If even we can be found, then wouldn't someone with ulterior motives have already found us?"

"That's true." After Caiyue said this, Shen Meizhuang's heart also calmed down.

"I'm not sleepy now, so why don't you accompany me to the Thousand Carp Pond to admire the fish? I heard that the emperor lit a lamp there, and the red fish are the most beautiful to watch at night."

Shen Meizhuang became interested when she saw the beautiful moonlight at night.

Caiyue saw that her young lady had been so humiliated in Yiku Palace that it would be good for her to go out and get some fresh air, so she and Xiao Shi accompanied Shen Meizhuang to the Thousand Carp Pond.

Xiao Yunzi, who was following behind, couldn't help but murmur in her heart:

"Even I know that the young lady was afraid that something might happen to Concubine Shen, so she specially asked me to protect her. But it's the middle of the night, Concubine Shen doesn't go back to rest, but goes to the Thousand Carp Pond to admire the fish?"

Although he was muttering to himself, Xiao Yunzi never neglected what needed to be done, and his eyes were always following the movements of Concubine Shen.
