Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

As he spoke, Prince Guo looked at Concubine Shu hesitantly.

Seeing Prince Guo's serious expression, Concubine Shu stopped twisting her Buddhist beads:

"Are you trying to use Huanbi's background to contain Concubine Xi?"

Prince Guo nodded:

"As long as my son holds Huanbi as his trump card, I won't be afraid that Concubine Xi will do something beyond my son's control in the future."

"Only in this way can all our plans be realized."

Concubine Shu did not respond to Prince Guo immediately. Instead, she picked up the Buddhist beads in her hand and paced around the room thoughtfully.

Prince Guo knew that in Concubine Shu's heart, she still remembered the past love between her and Huanbi's biological mother He Mianmian.

Seeing that Concubine Shu had been thinking silently for a long time without saying anything, Prince Guo stood up, walked towards her, took her arm and whispered:

"Mother..."

Concubine Shu knew that Prince Guo was eager to hear her reply, so she stopped, looked up at him, and expressed her thoughts:

"Yunli, no matter what you want to do, mother will support you!"

"You can marry Huanbi, or you can use her to complete your plan! But my mother hopes..."

As she spoke, Concubine Shu looked at Prince Guo hesitantly, put her hand on hers, and said:

"Don't hurt her unless it's absolutely necessary!"

"After all, she is the only daughter left by my mother's old friend—"

"Mother hopes that if you marry her, you will treat her well!"

"Mother, what you mean is..."

In order to confirm the meaning of Concubine Shu's words, Prince Guo asked.

Concubine Shu looked at Prince Guo quietly for a few seconds, then took his hand and said:

"If you can make Huanbi your legitimate wife... it can also make up for the debt that my mother owed to Bizhuer (Huanbi's biological mother)..."

After saying this, Concubine Shu looked up at Prince Guo, waiting for his answer with great anticipation.

"But Huanbi is just a maidservant serving Concubine Xi..."

Prince Guo thought for a moment and said:

"From ancient times to the present, which prince or noble married a noblewoman who was not from the Manchu race...

As he spoke, Prince Guo looked at Concubine Shu and added:

"Let alone others, even Xian'er...I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it."

Meng Jingxian, the daughter of the Duke of Pei, can only be a concubine!

What’s more, it’s Huanbi, whose status and position are far lower than hers?

But Concubine Shu shook her head disapprovingly:

"If Huanbi really married you as your legitimate wife, I don't think Concubine Xi would let her marry as a maid..."

"Moreover, if you two really get married, Concubine Xi will not make things too difficult for you for Huanbi's sake..."

"So, it can be considered killing two birds with one stone!"

"What my mother said makes sense."

After listening to Concubine Shu's analysis, Prince Guo smiled:

"Then my son will mention this matter to my brother tomorrow."

"No!"

Concubine Shu immediately stopped Prince Guo and said:

"Don't be too hasty about this matter, lest the Emperor and Concubine Xi become suspicious of you."

"In my opinion, we still need to find an appropriate time..."

As Concubine Shu spoke, she was quickly planning in her mind:

"It would be best if the Emperor unexpectedly asked for the marriage!"

"Take the initiative to speak?"

Prince Guo repeated what Concubine Shu said and thought to himself. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the small photo that he had always kept close to his body in his purse.

An idea comes to mind!

"Mother, I have something for you to look at..."

As he spoke, Prince Guo reached into his arms and took out the purse.

"Little Prime Minister?" Concubine Shu said as she looked at the red paper-cut that Prince Guo took out.

Prince Guo nodded:

"Mother, this photo is of Concubine Xi, but if you look closely, she does look a bit like Huanbi..."

"My son thinks that this little photo may be able to solve the problem we are facing now."

"In two days, it will be Princess Wanying's birthday."

Concubine Shu took the small photo from Prince Guo, looked at it carefully, and said thoughtfully:

"I can take advantage of this banquet to work hard on this little photo..."

"My son already has an idea!"

Hearing what Concubine Shu said, Prince Guo smiled:

"Just wait, mother, and watch your son marry Huanbi in style!"

Seeing that Prince Guo was confident, Concubine Shu nodded with relief.

But when she thought of Meng Jingxian, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"You must comfort Xian'er."

Concubine Shu looked at Prince Guo calmly and said:

"After all, she is pregnant now. We must not be too sad or she might get pregnant."

"Mother is a reasonable person..."

Prince Guo took Concubine Shu's hand and sat down, and continued what he had just said:

"My son will definitely comfort her. When she gives birth to my child, I will not treat her badly."

"After all, she has been with her son for so long, and her son has some feelings for her."

Prince Guo gently patted Concubine Shu's hand and explained to him.

Concubine Shu looked at Prince Guo with tenderness and placed her hand on his:

"Mother was young once too. Mother understands."

Concubine Shu expressed her understanding of what Prince Guo said.

But as she spoke, all the little moments she had with the late emperor reappeared before her eyes.

The mother and son talked about this matter for a long time.

Whenever they recalled those past events, the mother and son became more dissatisfied with the emperor and the empress dowager.

With Prince Guo's comfort, Concubine Shu's emotions gradually calmed down.

Seeing that it was getting late, Prince Guo stood up and said goodbye to Concubine Shu.

On the other hand, the Queen also arranged for someone to give Concubine Xi a "surprise."

Two days later, Wanying's birthday banquet officially kicked off with everyone paying respects to the emperor.

There was a scene of singing and dancing at the banquet.

The emperor first said a few words, and then raised his glass and drank with everyone.

There was a scene of singing and dancing at the banquet.

After watching the dance for a while, Prince Guo picked up the wine glass and said auspicious words to the emperor and Zhen Huan.

The emperor was in a good mood after hearing what Prince Guo said:

"Seventeenth brother, among so many people, you are the best at talking!"

"I'll drink this glass of wine!"

After saying this, the emperor raised his glass and drank it all.

When Prince Guo saw that the emperor had drunk the wine, he filled another glass, raised his glass, looked at Zhen Huan and said:

"Empress Xi, the prince salutes you!"

"Speaking of which, this cup of wine should have been offered to Your Majesty. After all, Your Majesty, you were Wanying's savior..."

Zhen Huan smiled and stood up:

"However, Your Majesty's kindness, I cannot refuse it. I will have to wait until I drink this cup before I offer my toast to Your Majesty."

After saying this, Zhen Huan covered her mouth with her sleeve and took a sip, then filled another cup and returned it to Prince Guo with a smile...

Just as Prince Guo was about to pick up the wine glass and drink the wine in it, his hand suddenly became unstable and the wine in the glass spilled directly on himself...
