Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Seeing Jing Bai's eager look to find another place to talk, Zhen Huan said with a smile:

"It's my fault for not considering it carefully."

"I was just planning to offer a sea lantern for blessing, but I didn't expect to meet you today. I'd like to ask you to come to the palace and explain the rules of offering in detail to me."

Hearing Zhen Huan say this, Jing Bai's face was visibly happy, but she still pretended to be calm and said:

"It's the lady."

Seeing this, a hint of contempt flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to return to Chengqian Palace, he stopped, turned around, looked at Jinxi and instructed:

"Jinxi, please send the things to the Yangxin Palace first and tell the emperor that I will go to pay my respects another day."

After saying this, she led her group back to Chengqian Palace.

Zhen Huan knew that although Jingbai was a monk in name, he was actually a snobbish and fame-seeking person. So in order to make Jingbai work for her obediently, she still had to be friendly with him on the surface.

So as soon as they arrived in the palace, Zhen Huan gave Jingbai a seat and gave her tea.

No one knows how excited Jingbai's heart was when she picked up the teacup!

While Zhen Huan was drinking tea, she leisurely observed Jing Bai's expression through the gap of her arms.

Just when Jingbai was drinking happily, Zhen Huan deliberately asked:

"I wonder what the nun was talking about just now?"

The sudden question choked Jingbai who was thinking about something beautiful:

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhen Huan was secretly delighted, but asked with concern:

"Master, are you okay? Pei'er, why don't you give Master a massage!"

When Pei'er heard her master say this, she hurried over to Jingbai and started beating her.

Jingbai was coughing so hard that tears and snot were streaming down her face:

"Your Highness... ahem... how dare I ask the people around you to serve me? Ahem... how can I bear this?"

"Don't worry, Master. If I say you can bear it, then you can bear it."

Zhen Huan's words were like a panacea, immediately stopping Jingbai's cough.

Jingbai stood up according to Buddhist etiquette, nodded slightly to Pei'er to show her gratitude, and then bowed to Zhen Huan and said:

"Amitabha, Empress Xifei's compassionate heart is destined to be with Buddha. It seems that I made the right decision this time."

"What I am talking about today is not within my jurisdiction, but I cannot help but say a few more words today. If there is anything inappropriate in what I said, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

As she spoke, Jingbai took another quick glance into the hall. Zhen Huan understood and sent everyone in the hall out.

"I think the Queen must be curious about why Lord An was suddenly promoted today? Actually, this matter is also related to me..."

After saying this, she glanced at Zhen Huan again, and after seeing that Zhen Huan's expression did not change, she continued:

"A month ago, I was ordered to enter the palace to offer sea lanterns for the Empress in the palace. I happened to see someone around Concubine An taking a letter back from the palace gate. I accidentally heard that it was a letter to Concubine An..."

"Not long after that, when I was delivering something to the Queen, I casually mentioned this matter..."

"Later, I heard the Queen and Jianqiu beside her discussing this matter. From what they said, they seemed to want to promote Lord An."

"I didn't expect that today, it would be like this... I was thinking whether I should congratulate Concubine An in person."

As she spoke, Jingbai quickly glanced at Zhen Huan again, observing her expression and said:

"Who would have thought that I would not meet Concubine An today, but would meet Concubine Xi here instead."

"It seems that the Bodhisattva sympathizes with my efforts and specially allows me to meet the goddess here."

After saying that, Jingbai looked up at Zhen Huan, then leaned over and listened attentively, waiting for Zhen Huan to speak.

Zhen Huan glanced at Jing Bai expressionlessly, then leaned back and touched the armor on her hand thoughtfully. After a while, she spoke:

"Master Jingbai, I would like to thank you on behalf of Concubine An. If it weren't for you, Concubine An might not know about Lord An's promotion. Who should she really thank?"

After saying that, Zhen Huan called out towards the outside of the palace, and Pei'er immediately walked in quickly upon hearing the voice.

After Zhen Huan gave her a look, Pei'er understood and handed the silver she had just prepared to Jingbai.

When Jingbai saw the heavy silver in front of her, she immediately forgot the fear that Zhen Huan's powerful aura brought to her when she was silent.

Her pupils immediately dilated, and her body instinctively wanted to move closer to the silver. However, when she thought of the people around her, she quickly suppressed the greed in her eyes and said to Zhen Huan with a smile:

"I thank you for your kindness, but I am a nun and I dare not accept your kindness."

After saying that, Jingbai looked up at Zhen Huan with a smile on her face.

Zhen Huan already knew what kind of person she was. Although she despised her in her heart, she had no choice but to flatter her in order to get more information from her:

"I understand the abbot's desire to cultivate, but this money is just a token of my appreciation."

"Originally, I had some questions for the Master, but since the Master is unwilling to accept my courtesy, I am not in a position to ask."

Seeing that Zhen Huan had given him a way out, Jing Bai hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said:

"Your Majesty's words make me feel uneasy."

"In this case, in order to reassure the majesty, I will respectfully obey your command."

As she spoke, she glanced quickly at the silver in Pei'er's hand. After pretending to refuse twice, she hurriedly took it and put it in her sleeve.

Zhen Huan scoffed at this, but acted nonchalant.

She knew very well how much Jingbai valued money and how she bullied the weak and feared the strong, but because of this, she was easily bribed.

Although it is not familiar to the baby, it can be used temporarily.

After receiving the silver, Jingbai became even more eloquent.

She looked at Zhen Huan who was sitting in the upper seat, smiling carefully. Zhen Huan also learned the whole truth about An Bihuai's promotion from her.

It turns out that all this was the Queen's doing, and her purpose was to make things difficult for Zhen Huan and her group.

An Bihuai is An Lingrong's father, and the Queen is very clear about this.

She knew very well that she was in Ganlu Temple and could not cause any substantial harm to Zhen Huan and her group for the time being, but she could use An Bihuai to deal a fatal blow to An Lingrong.

What a queen! What a good one!

In addition to this matter, Zhen Huan also wanted to find out more secrets of the Queen from Jing Bai;

But Jingbai is also a cunning person. Before the situation becomes completely clear, she doesn't want to offend anyone. She just wants to maneuver and seek the most favorable conditions for herself.

Seeing her like this, Zhen Huan didn't ask any more questions.

She only said that she would come to Chengqian Palace once a month from now on, and would tell others that it was just a matter of praying.
