After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

When Yu Rao heard what Shen Beile said, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and the cold winter wind seemed to soften a little. She lowered her head slightly, hiding the shyness on her face, and whispered, "Then I can eat a lot."

Seeing that Yu Rao did not dislike what he said, Shen Beile was so happy that he almost thought of a name for their future child.

"My mother once said: Being able to eat is a blessing, and Yurao must be that blessed person." Shen Beile said with a smile.

The two continued to walk forward. The imperial garden was still covered with snow, a blanket of silver.

Occasionally a cold wind blew, and the snowflakes on the branches gently fell and landed beside the two of them.

Yu Rao reached out to catch a snowflake, staring at it slowly melting, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Shen Beile asked softly, "Miss Yurao, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Rao looked up, with a hint of worry in her eyes, "I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if the snow could always be this pure and white."

Shen Beile was stunned for a moment, then he understood her thoughts and comforted her softly: "No matter how beautiful the snow is, it will melt; but as long as we keep that purity in our hearts, no matter how strong the wind and snow are, they will not be able to disturb us."

Yu Rao nodded, as if she was somewhat comforted by Shen Beile's words.

She smiled slightly, and the worry on her face was dispelled by the winter chill, replaced by a warm calm.

Then the two of them walked and talked, and gradually came to the lake.

The lake was already covered with thick ice. Yu Rao looked at the frozen lake and couldn't help but think of the days when Zhen Huan took her to play on the frozen lake when she was a child. She felt a little nostalgic.

So she smiled and trotted closer to the lake, stretched out her foot and stepped on it.

"Be careful!" Shen Beile quickly reached out to support her, "This ice may not be solid yet."

Yu Rao smiled and said, "It's okay. I just want to test how thick the ice is."

Beile Shen smiled and shook his head helplessly. Yu Rao was really playful, which was good. He liked her.

"Let me do it." He squatted down, picked up a stone, and knocked on the ice hard, producing a crisp sound.

"It seems that the ice is thick enough." Shen Beile stood up and stretched out his hand to Yu Rao, "Do you want to go up there and walk together?"

Yu Rao hesitated for a moment, then put her hand on Shen Beile's hand and walked carefully onto the ice.

The two walked slowly on the ice, feeling the coldness under their feet and the warmth in each other's hands.

"Thank you, Beile Shen." Yu Rao said suddenly.

"Thank me for what?" Shen Beile was a little surprised.

"Thank you for bringing me here." Yu Rao said with a smile.

After hearing this, Shen Beile's heart moved. He stopped and looked at Yu Rao seriously, "Yu Rao, I hope I can always be by your side and play with you in the future."

Yu Rao nodded slightly and said nothing. She knew that the emperor had already taken a fancy to her and she couldn't think about whether she would really be able to play with Shen Beile in the future.

Shen Beile looked at Yu Rao's smiling face, and his heart was also warmed. He whispered: "When the snow melts, we will go to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms. I think it will be a beautiful sight."

Yu Rao smiled and said, "Okay." She hoped that at that time, she could still play with Shen Beile.

Gyeongin Palace

All the concubines in the harem came to the Queen's Jingren Palace to pay their respects.

"Long live the Queen!" All the concubines saluted in unison.

The queen smiled and said, "No need to be polite!"

Then the other concubines bowed to Zhen Huan, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine Xi!"

"Sisters, there's no need to be so formal!" Zhen Huan said to the concubines.

The queen sat upright, looking peacefully at the concubines sitting below her in the harem, she was plotting her own conspiracy in her mind.

The Queen first casually glanced at the registration book of concubines' service in the emperor's bedchamber in her hand. Recently, Concubine Qi had less opportunities to serve the emperor in the bedchamber than Concubine Hua. Apart from Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi ranked second, and then Concubine Xi (because Concubine Xi often claimed that she was not feeling well). Because Concubine Hui and Concubine An were pregnant, the Emperor no longer allowed them to serve the emperor in the bedchamber.

The Queen smiled and said to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua is the only one who receives the emperor's love. The sisters in the palace combined only receive half of your love. It is true that the younger sister is the most favored by the emperor."

Hua Fei smiled like a flower. After listening to the Queen's description, she realized that she was indeed the Emperor's favorite woman. She chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. The Emperor thinks that I have served him well, so I have to do my best."

"I feel relieved to have my sister serving me. But my sister is so favored by the emperor that it is time for her to give birth to a little prince for him." Every word of the queen's advice was like a needle, piercing Concubine Hua's heart.

Hua Fei's eyes turned cold and she rolled her eyes slightly. The Queen was just mocking her for not having children. She had been recuperating in recent days and felt getting better and better. The doctor even told her that her health was almost recovered.

She thinks that if she makes love a few more times, she should be able to conceive successfully. By then, I wonder if you, as the queen, will be able to sit still?

Before Concubine Hua could speak, Concubine Qi followed the Queen's words and said, "But if it's just a little princess, it won't be that interesting."

Zhen Huan watched their conversation coldly, thinking to herself: [No matter if you are a prince or a princess, I have both sons and daughters, and I don't need the emperor's favor, so you can fight for it.]

Shen Meizhuang showed an indifference that was hard to detect, and secretly sneered in her heart: [Whether the child in my belly is a prince or a princess, I like it. As for the emperor, you can snatch it all you want. When the time comes, I will take my child and flee from this palace. ]

An Lingrong smiled, feeling proud in her heart: [Anyway, I'm already pregnant, so the most important thing right now is to keep the baby. I hope it's a little prince, but it's also okay if it's a little princess. With the help of Sister Zhen and Sister Mei, I won't have to worry about having another baby.]

Hua Fei heard what Qi Fei said and retorted: "Qi Fei, what you said is wrong. If you give birth to a smart prince, you will be honored by your son. If you give birth to a stupid one, the emperor will not like it, but you will be disliked."

Hua Fei was hinting at something. When Qi Fei heard this, she was so angry that she was speechless: "You......"

Seeing that Concubine Hua was so strong, the Queen knew that no matter how stupid Concubine Qi was, she would not be able to win the argument.

So he interrupted, "Forget it. It doesn't matter if she's smart or dumb. It depends on how you discipline her. The most important thing now is to give birth to a healthy child as soon as possible."

"Although Concubine Xi's children are still babies, they are very much loved by the Emperor. He is now looking forward to the birth of Concubine Hui and Concubine An's babies. You should learn from them. You will be so blessed."
