Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

Although Xiuxia was very nervous, as the queen's personal maid, she couldn't help but say a few words of comfort:

"Your Highness, please stop talking. If the Emperor comes and sees it, it might not be good..."

"emperor?"

The queen snorted lightly, glanced at Xiu Xia quickly, raised her hand coldly and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes:

"Why would the emperor think of coming to this cold Jingren Palace?"

"Your Majesty... please stop saying that. The Emperor is just busy with official duties. When he is free, he will definitely come to see you..."

When Xiuxia spoke, her eyes were wandering, and it seemed that she didn't even believe what she said.

The Queen said to Xiu Xia with dull eyes:

"Over the years, I have always known how the emperor has viewed me."

"Before, the Queen Mother was here, and the Emperor, for the Queen Mother's sake, would come to the palace to accompany me on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month..."

"Now that the Queen Mother is gone, the Emperor has only known Chengqian Palace and Yikun Palace!"

"Even Concubine Qi can use her pregnancy as an excuse to get the Emperor to visit her. Only this Jingren Palace of mine is as cold as an ice cellar..."

As the queen spoke, she raised her head and looked around the hall.

That look was filled with desolation, numbness, and deep sadness.

"My lady..."

The Queen interrupted Xiu Xia and said:

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me. I know what you want to say."

"No matter how the emperor views me, or even if he despises me, I will not give up hope."

"I am the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. As long as I hold on to my position as Empress, I am not afraid of who will be favored in the end!"

The Queen seemed to be speaking to Xiuxia, but in fact she was speaking to herself.

After saying this, the queen's eyes darkened again and she was silent for a long while.

After coming back to her senses, her eyes fell on the wedding dress on the table again.

She thought to herself:

Sister, you have taken away so many things that should have belonged to me!

Then after your death, it wouldn't be too much for me to use you, my sister, to achieve my goal, right?

After saying that, she picked up the clothes, and with a "click" sound, a piece of the wedding dress was torn.

At this time, a smile appeared in the queen's eyes again, but the smile carried an elusive meaning:

"After delivering the imperial decree, you will give this auspicious dress to Jiang Zhongmin and tell him to send someone to mend it properly."

"It's the lady."

"Also, after dinner, ask him to come to Jingren Palace and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes!"

After explaining all this, Xiuxia took the refolded clothes and went to the Imperial Household Department.

In the evening, Jiang Zhongmin came to express his gratitude, and the Queen hinted to him some things about how to deal with the auspicious clothes that Zhen Huan would wear when she was crowned as a concubine.

Jiang Zhongmin thought that he had the Queen's support, so he happily accepted the task and said that he would definitely get it done.

All of this was seen by Zhen Huan, who was closely following the developments in Jingren Palace.

The queen finally couldn't help but take action!

She thought about these things in her heart, but did not tell Huanbi and Jinxi the purpose of her actions.

Because only when the people around her are unaware of the situation can she make the incident sound realistic.

In other words, only Concubine Hua knew the whole truth.

There were still three days before the promotion ceremony, and everyone went to Jingren Palace to pay their respects to the Queen.

After some pleasantries, the queen began to talk about topics related to promotion.

"With the help of Concubine Hua, all matters concerning the promotion have been basically prepared. The promotion uniforms will be sent to your palaces one after another after today."

"It's just..." The Queen looked at Zhen Huan with a smile, hesitant to speak:

"I feel that the dress you wear when you are crowned as Xipin is not quite right. I will have someone send it to your palace on the day of your crowning."

Zhen Huan was very surprised to hear the Queen say all this so openly in front of everyone!

But after careful consideration, she realized what the queen meant:

What was her purpose in kindly bringing up Concubine Hua's contribution...it was self-evident!

Zhen Huan was thinking, but she had already stood up:

"I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen and Concubine Hua."

Zhen Huan bowed to the Queen first, then turned to look at Concubine Hua and bowed:

"The Empress and Concubine Hua have put in a lot of effort to help us get promoted. I am truly grateful."

Afterwards, the other people who were promoted also followed Zhen Huan's words and stood up to express their gratitude to the Queen and Concubine Hua.

The Queen put on her usual smile and scanned everyone before her eyes fell on Concubine Hua:

"In fact, regarding this promotion ceremony, I didn't put as much thought into it as Consort Hua did."

As she spoke, the Queen looked at everyone and said with a fake smile:

"No wonder the Emperor always praises Concubine Hua for being young and capable in front of me!"

Concubine Hua's brows were almost twisted into knots when she heard the Queen's insincere praise.

She gave the queen a quick eye roll without hesitation, and then said bluntly:

"Your Majesty, I am not used to hearing such humble words from you, Queen!"

"I was only doing my duty. How dare I take away the credit from the Queen?"

As she spoke, Concubine Hua turned her eyes to Zhen Huan and pretended to be jealous and said:

"So Xipin, if you want to thank someone, you should thank the Empress, not me!"

"Besides, Xipin, you are deeply favored by the Emperor and will soon be made a concubine. How dare I accept your gift!"

After saying this, Concubine Hua glanced away with disdain and never looked at Zhen Huan and the Queen again.

When Zhen Huan heard Concubine Hua's words, she immediately stood up in fear and trepidation:

"My Lady Concubine, regardless of whether I am a concubine or not, my position is below yours. It is my duty to pay my respects to you and express my gratitude!"

"Your Highness, what you said today makes me feel very frightened!"

As soon as Zhen Huan finished her words, the palace fell into silence.

Everyone watched the verbal dispute between Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan with bated breath.

During this period, an extremely proud smile flashed across the queen's face.

Humph, fight! Fight! The greater the conflict between you today, the more beneficial it will be to my next plan!

Noble Concubine Hua, Concubine Xi, none of you can escape this time!

The queen was thinking in her heart when she heard the clear voice of Concubine Hua:

"Humph, Xipin, are you afraid? In this palace, no matter who is afraid, you won't be afraid!"

"Everyone knows your current position in the emperor's heart!"

"You're afraid of dropping it if you hold it in your hand, or melting it if you hold it in your mouth. Don't act like that in front of me!"
