Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Zhen Huan had known about this decree long ago, so although she was a little upset, it was not too much.

Jinxi was standing behind him, her face already filled with smiles.

Concubine Hua smiled even more brilliantly.

Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, and Yu Ying'er were stunned for a moment, then gave Zhen Huan a look that said "I'm so happy for her."

Although Concubine Duan looked calm, she was secretly complaining about the unfairness of fate in her heart.

Why can everyone get the emperor's love, but not her?

Hongmei had always regarded Zhen Huan as her mortal enemy because of Prince Guo, but after what happened with Ye Lan'yi, she felt a little conflicted.

Perhaps she could still work for Prince Guo as before, but she needed Prince Guo to give her an explanation.

There were so many archers around him at that time, why did he shoot Ye Lanyi to death with his own hands?

After spending so many days together, she knew how deep Ye Lanyi's feelings for Prince Guo were.

She could accept her own death at the hands of Prince Guo, but she couldn't face Ye's death. Although it sounds absurd, this is what Hongmei really thinks.

So, when she heard that the emperor was going to promote Zhen Huan to the rank of noble concubine, she didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.

Over the years, everything she did revolved around Prince Guo.

She was like a puppet who only knew how to revolve around Prince Guo. She had no soul and no thoughts of her own.

Prince Guo is her soul and mind.

Just as everyone was thinking differently, Concubine Jing was the first to stand up and congratulate Zhen Huan:

"I congratulate Her Majesty the Concubine Xi."

The other concubines stood up one by one to congratulate:

"Congratulations to Concubine Xi on her promotion to Imperial Concubine."

After Zhen Huan thanked everyone with a smile, the emperor waved his hand towards them.

The concubines knew that this meant they were asked to sit down, so they sat down one by one.

The Emperor raised his head and said:

"The reason why Prince Guo was able to successfully rescue the princess this time is inseparable from Concubine Xi's courage to sacrifice."

"If she hadn't offered to exchange herself, the vicious woman Ye would never have let the princess go so easily."

"So everything that happened today is what Concubine Xi deserves."

All the concubines responded in unison:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

The Emperor turned his eyes to Concubine Hua:

"At present, Concubine Hua is pregnant. She has mentioned to me many times that she wants to take good care of her body so as not to overwork and hurt the baby in her belly. I am also worried about her health."

"So after careful consideration, I decided to hand over the heavy responsibility of managing the six palaces to Concubine Xi."

"It is still Concubine Jing who is assisting."

Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing looked at each other, stood up and saluted: "It's the Emperor."

Concubine Hua was very happy:

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your favor."

Concubine Hua knelt down and saluted:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to return to being the unbridled and flamboyant Concubine Hua I once was."

"Ever since I took over the palace affairs, I have not been able to sleep well all day. Now that the affairs of the six palaces are managed by Concubine Xi, I would like to take this opportunity to have some free time."

"Please allow me, Your Majesty."

The expression on Concubine Hua's face was relaxed and comfortable when she spoke, without the slightest affectation.

The emperor was stunned. He originally wanted to demote Concubine Hua to the position of concubine, but because she was pregnant, the emperor could not find a suitable reason and thought of putting the matter on hold for the time being.

Now that Concubine Hua actually took the initiative to bring up this matter in front of everyone, the Emperor felt a lot more relieved.

But when she was pregnant, the only one who was demoted was Concubine Hua, right?

The emperor thought this in his heart, and felt even more pity for Concubine Hua:

"Since Concubine Hua said so, I agree."

"But you are pregnant, so you can't be careless. All the rules in the palace should still be followed according to the etiquette of Concubine Hua."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Hua's eyes lit up with joy:

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor personally helped her up:

"You are in a heavy condition now, so stop kneeling."

Seeing the smile on Concubine Hua's face, some people were happy, while others felt hatred.

Zhen Huan and her companions naturally understood her feelings and were happy for her.

But Concubine Duan seemed to not recognize the person in front of her. She felt that she was completely different from the former Concubine Hua.

Seeing the emperor's favor towards her, Concubine Duan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

But she always had a very clear idea in her mind, which was that she could not just stand there and watch Concubine Hua being so happy and remain indifferent.

She couldn't let the emperor forget the injustice she had suffered.

"Cough cough..." Concubine Duan coughed twice, stretched out a hand, and stood up with the help of Jixiang, then walked slowly towards the front of the hall.

Since Zhen Huan saw Concubine Duan was the first to come and pay her respects this morning, she had a vague feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

Now seeing Concubine Duan walking towards the main hall, the uneasy feeling became even stronger.

But she couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Concubine Duan walked up to the emperor, coughing as she went, and saluted. It was a grand ceremony, the kind that involved kneeling on both knees:

"Your Majesty, ahem...I have something to ask, and I would like to ask Your Majesty and all the sisters to be witnesses."

The emperor's eyes were stern:

"If you have anything to say, get up and talk."

"I must kneel down and finish speaking these words, so that I can express my gratitude to my sister, Concubine Hua."

Concubine Hua, who was leisurely drinking tea nearby, was almost choked to death by Concubine Duan's words.

Songzhi hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back. Concubine Hua also hurriedly put the tea in her hand on the table beside her, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and glanced at Zhen Huan inconspicuously, hoping that Zhen Huan could give her some hints.

But Zhen Huan looked at her and shook her head slightly, telling Concubine Hua that she didn't know what was going on.

owe?

Are you referring to the bowl of "pregnancy medicine" from the past? Or the duck soup from a while ago?

Did he really think it through and no longer want to fight? Or did he have another bad idea?

I have hated someone for so many years, why do I suddenly start to talk about indebtedness for no reason?

Many thoughts flooded Zhen Huan's mind at once, but when she sorted out her thoughts, she still felt that every word that Concubine Duan was going to say next was planned in advance and was directed at Concubine Hua, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The emperor lowered his eyes and glanced at Concubine Duan, then silently picked up the green pearl sack in his hand without saying a word.

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

When Concubine Hua thought of her debt, she remembered the bowl of "pregnancy medicine" she had in the palace, and her heart ached uncontrollably:

"Debt? Concubine Duan said this, but I don't understand it."

"Every time I think of the deep sisterly love between me and Concubine Hua in the palace, I feel bad..."

Concubine Duan glanced at the emperor and stroked her chest with her hand:

"If it weren't for that bowl... ahem... my sister wouldn't have become so estranged from me."

"Although my elder sister didn't mean to hurt me, the harm was done. My elder sister also suffered retribution for it and has been bedridden every day..."
