After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

"Zhang Hua's poem praising her graceful beauty and gentle feelings is a poem praising the beauty. What do you think?" The emperor said as he slightly raised the book in his hand.

At this moment, the emperor was very proud of the story he told. It was well-founded and happened to be homophonic with his name "婉宽". What a good word "婉" it was.

Zhen Huan felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. This emperor thought that she and Yu Rao were uneducated people, and he could actually recite this poem to fool them.

Before Zhen Huan could speak, Yu Rao stood up without any hesitation.

She said indignantly to the emperor: "The beauty of a beautiful woman is so charming that she is overwhelmed by your longing. This poem of eternal remembrance is a work of mourning, and I am still standing in front of your majesty."

The emperor was stunned by Yu Rao's talent and had to give up his previous idea. He smiled and said, "I was just making an analogy."

Zhen Huan felt that the emperor was going too far. She was really afraid that the emperor would actually blurt out that he wanted to take Yu Rao as a concubine. This was her only biological sister, and she couldn't let her be ruined by this old emperor.

She only hoped that Yu Rao could be with someone she loved for the rest of her life. With Yu Rao's personality, she was unwilling to stay in the harem, which was undoubtedly a cage.

So Zhen Huan directly exposed the emperor's thoughts and took the initiative, saying: "You have been so kind to me and have made me like-minded. Our friendship is strong and our love is deep. Zhang Hua's Eternal Love is to mourn his deceased wife."

"Your Majesty, you don't intend to marry Yu Rao, do you?"

Zhen Huan knew that the emperor's wife could only be the empress, and the other concubines could only be concubines. There was no possibility for Yu Rao to become the emperor's wife. She deliberately said the word "wife" in order to leave the emperor speechless and give up the idea of ​​taking Yu Rao as a concubine.

The emperor thought to himself: He just wanted to take Yu Rao as his concubine, and it would be nice to have her as a concubine. How many princes and nobles wanted to put their daughters into the palace to be his concubines but they didn't have this opportunity. How come these two sisters have no awareness at all?

The emperor patiently explained with a smile: "In the palace, the distinction between wives and concubines, legitimate and illegitimate children is very clear. My wife is the empress of the central palace. I have no such intention, but..." The emperor was about to say that he wanted Yu Rao to be his concubine.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan immediately interrupted the emperor and said, "I am a concubine with little luck and no virtue. I am willing to serve the emperor as a concubine, but Yu Rao is arrogant and cannot serve as a concubine."

"Although you are a concubine, you are my beloved concubine, and you are also a noble concubine, second only to the emperor. If your sister can do the same, it won't be a disappointment."

At this time, Zhen Huan was a little annoyed. She knew that the emperor would not punish her too harshly because she looked similar to Chun Yuan.

So she plucked up her courage, got angry and said, "I have no desire to be the queen, but Your Majesty, can you bear to see your only sister become someone else's concubine?"

Yu Rao was sitting next to Zhen Huan at the moment, not daring to speak carelessly. She saw that Zhen Huan and the Emperor were arguing about her. She knew that if she spoke rashly and said something wrong and angered the Emperor, she might really become the Emperor's concubine.

The emperor felt a little frustrated when he saw that both sisters looked unhappy.

At this moment, he made both of them angry, and he actually felt pity for them.

So he said in a gentle tone: "It's just a name given to me, but I made you sad for no reason."

"It's obvious that I was rash. The word 'elegant' is not a good word. Let's not mention it again in the future." As the emperor said this, he waved his hand to indicate that the matter was over.

The emperor was thinking of taking Yurao as his concubine, but he had to put it on hold for the time being. Although he was reluctant to let her go, there would always be a chance in the future. After all, he was the emperor, and no one could control who he wanted to be his woman.

But he couldn't make Zhen Huan sad anymore, so the emperor continued to comfort her: "Your sister is still young. If she finds a good family in the future, I will take good care of her. I won't say anything more now."

Zhen Huan and Yu Rao were delighted that the Emperor had finally given up the idea of ​​taking Yu Rao as a concubine.

But the two of them remained silent, because they knew that they could not show their joy in front of the emperor, otherwise it would make him unhappy.

After that, the emperor stopped talking and continued reading the book in his hand.

But the emperor really couldn't stand it, and not long after, he said that he had important matters to deal with in the Yangxin Palace.

Before leaving, the emperor waved to Yu Rao to come to him, gave her something, said a few words, and then turned and left.

Because the emperor was some distance away from Zhen Huan when he was talking to Yu Rao, Zhen Huan didn't know what the emperor said to Yu Rao.

After the emperor walked away, Yu Rao took the initiative to say to Zhen Huan: "The emperor didn't say anything else, just put this in my hand and said he would take it back after a few days."

Yu Rao handed the jade pendant in her hand to Zhen Huan to see.

Zhen Huan looked at the jade pendant and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. It seemed that the emperor had no intention of letting Yu Rao go. What he just said about not mentioning her was only temporary.

"This mandarin duck pendant is a personal item of the emperor."

After listening to Zhen Huan's words, Yu Rao sensed the emperor's intention and said, "So, elder sister, I can't keep this thing."

"The emperor treasures this jade pendant very much. Yurao, maybe you look too much like Queen Chunyuan." Zhen Huan touched Yurao's head helplessly.

Only now did Yu Rao understand why the emperor always stared at her and wanted to take her as a concubine. It turned out that he regarded her as a substitute for the late Queen Chun Yuan.

Yu Rao bit her lip and said angrily, "Zhen Yu Rao is Zhen Yu Rao. She must be unique and cannot be a substitute for anyone else."

Zhen Huan smiled and took Yu Rao's hands and said, "Good! This is more like a daughter of our Zhen family."

Yangxindian

In the afternoon, Su Peisheng said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you should take a nap, otherwise you will be tired in the afternoon."

The emperor was still looking at the book in his hand, waiting for Su Peisheng to untie his belt and prepare to take a nap.

When Su Peisheng slowly untied the gold brocade belt around the emperor's waist, the mandarin duck pendant that the emperor usually carried with him was missing.

So Su Peisheng asked anxiously, "Hey, Your Majesty, where is the mandarin duck pendant you always wear? Why is it gone?"

The emperor never took his eyes off the book in his hand, and said seriously, "I'll give it to Yu Rao."

Su Peisheng was surprised and said, "Ah, the Second Miss!"

"What's wrong?" The emperor could sense from Su Peisheng's tone that he was shocked by the matter.

Su Peisheng quickly smiled and said, "Oh, I think this Second Miss is really blessed. That mandarin duck pendant is the favorite of Queen Chunyuan."

The emperor looked at Su Peisheng with disdain and said, "Is this what you call being blessed?"

Su Peisheng nodded: "Yeah"

The emperor continued, "Her blessed days are yet to come!"

The emperor felt happy as he fantasized about being with Yu Rao in the future.

Su Peisheng said to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, I will go and light some calming incense for you."

The emperor put down the book in his hand and lay down on the dragon couch. In his mind, he thought of Yu Rao's young and lively appearance gradually overlapping with the shadow of Chun Yuan in the past. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he slowly fell asleep as sleepiness came over him...
