Legend of Zhen Huan: Zhen Huan is reborn

049 Moonlight Sunset

When the two of them returned to Suiyuxuan in silence, Suxi said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work tonight. These two exquisite jade ornaments were specially given to you by Concubine Hua."

Although Zhen Huan was dissatisfied in her heart, she still accepted the gift with a smile.

After Suxi left, Zhen Huan gently signaled Jingxi and the others to leave for the time being.

Zhen Huan watched Ling Rong silently endure, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt a surge of sadness in her heart and gently comforted her: "If you feel wronged, just let your tears flow freely. This is our own place, there is no need to endure it anymore."

An Lingrong collapsed instantly, threw herself into Zhen Huan's arms and burst into tears, "Sister, we are not performers, how could she look down on us so much and give us the jade pendant as a reward."

She angrily picked up the jade pendant and wanted to throw it away. "This is just a toy she used to humiliate us. How can I accept it!"

Zhen Huan hurriedly stopped her, "After all, this was given by Concubine Hua. If it is really damaged, it will probably cause even greater trouble."

An Lingrong reluctantly placed the jade pendant heavily on the table, while Zhen Huan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, gently comforting her, "Don't be sad, you've been singing all night, your throat must be dry, drink some water to moisten it."

An Lingrong tightly grasped Zhen Huan's fingertips, which were red and swollen from playing the piano, and said distressedly: "Sister's fingertips are red and swollen from playing."

Zhen Huan gently retracted her hand and smiled comfortingly: "I'm fine, but you..."

She heard An Lingrong choking up and saying, "Sister, I made you suffer with me. If you were not here today and the Emperor had not taken some pride into consideration, I really don't know how Concubine Hua would have humiliated me."

Zhen Huan sighed and explained, "Now the Emperor attaches great importance to Hua Fei's family, and Hua Fei is becoming more and more proud because of this. The Emperor needs to consider the overall situation and should not break off relations with her."

An Lingrong sobbed and said, "Sister, I really can't bear it."

Zhen Huan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "What can we do if we are unwilling? We can only be patient for the time being. As long as Nian Gengyao leaves the capital and returns to Qinghai, everything will get better."

With tears in her eyes, An Lingrong said expectantly, "I only hope that Nian Gengyao will leave soon, so that we can be free from her arrogance."

Zhen Huan sighed deeply, her thoughts surging like the tide, and her helplessness was evident in her words.

Jianqiu walked into the inner room with a smile, walked to Yixiu's side, and whispered softly: "Madam, I heard that Concubine Hua was enjoying An Changzai last night, treating her as a singing girl and making fun of her."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu frowned slightly, looking displeased. "If you are disrespectful to others, you will eventually suffer the consequences. Moreover, An Changzai is pregnant with the heir to the throne. What Hua Fei did..."

"Your Highness is right," Jianqiu continued, "Last night, when Huichun mentioned this to me, I was also shocked. Concubine An is already pregnant, but Concubine Hua is so disrespectful. It's really unbelievable."

After hearing this, Yixiu just smiled coldly, then turned the page of the book in her hand and continued her reading.

Wen Shichu had just checked everyone's pulse when Shen Meizhuang arrived right after him.

At this moment, Zhen Huan's mind was completely focused on the fetus in An Lingrong's belly, so she did not notice the subtle change in the atmosphere between Shen Meiyu and Wen Shichu.

"Huan'er, Rong'er." Shen Meizhuang called softly.

"Sister Mei, why did you suddenly come here at this time?" Zhen Huan responded.

"I have nothing to do, so I thought of coming to see you." Shen Meizhuang said with a smile, then turned to An Lingrong: "Rong'er, how are you feeling lately?"

"Don't worry, Sister Mei. Sister Wan has been taking good care of me. Plus, with the help of Doctor Wen's medical skills, both the baby and I are doing fine. Everything is going well." An Lingrong replied.

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. I feel relieved when you say that."

At this moment, Xiao Yunzi walked into the house and announced, "My lady, Eunuch Xi is here."

Shen Meizhuang was slightly puzzled: "What is he doing here?"

Zhen Huan calmly ordered: "Please ask him to come in."

Su Xi walked in with a big smile on his face and bowed, "Greetings to Lady Wan, Lady Shen, and Lady An."

Zhen Huan asked calmly, "Eunuch Xi, what are you doing here? But what does your queen want to tell you?"

Su Xi replied, "Her Royal Highness Hua Fei recently obtained two pieces of Shu brocade, and she thought the color was elegant and very suitable, so she cut two sets of clothes and specially ordered the servants to send them to the young lady."

Then the young eunuch came up to Zhen Huan holding the gorgeous clothes, and his attitude seemed to imply that she must accept them.

Zhen Huan glanced at the dress, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Jingxi. Please accept it."

Jin Xi took the dress, walked aside, and said with her head down: "My lady, this dress has an elegant color and is very finely crafted, but the magician of the Tongming Palace reminded me last time that my lady is in conflict with rats, which can easily lead to trouble. Shu and rat are homophones, so if it is made into shoes and worn on the feet, it is fine, but if it is made into clothes, I am afraid it will need to be left for a year before it can be worn."

Although Su Xi had a smile on his face, his eyes showed a hint of displeasure. "Miss Jinxi, do you mean that the young lady is unwilling to wear the clothes given by the queen? Well, now that Wan Guiren is in favor, she naturally doesn't care about other people's things except the rewards from the emperor. But our queen always says that a person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. Although the words of the mage are worth listening to, the queen's grace and blessing will definitely bring good luck to Wan Guiren."

Zhen Huan noticed that her clothes were embroidered with pale moon-colored evening primroses inlaid with silver threads, and her heart was filled with waves.

She knew she couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said to Su Xi, "Jin Xi is just reminding you with good intentions, don't mind it, eunuch."

Su Xi then revealed a somewhat satisfied smile, "Then I will take my leave."

After Su Xi left, Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly and spoke slowly: "Huan'er, I always feel that Concubine Hua's sudden gift of clothes is unusual. I'm afraid there is a hidden secret."

An Lingrong picked up the dress and examined it carefully, then asked in confusion, "The fabric of this dress is indeed exquisite, but the flowers on it are something I have never seen before. What kind of flowers are these?"

Just as Zhen Huan was about to explain, Huanbi answered first, "To reply to Lady An, the name of this flower is Xiyan."

Zhen Huan glanced at Huanbi calmly, and she realized something in her heart, so she deliberately asked: "Huanbi, how did you know the name of this flower? Even I don't know it."

Huanbi replied: "I discovered it by accident last time."

Jin Xi was also confused and said, "This act of Concubine Hua giving away clothes is really puzzling."

Zhen Huan pondered for a moment and guessed, "Perhaps Concubine Hua felt that the style or pattern of this dress did not suit her taste, so she gave it to me. I should accept it first."

Jin Xi responded, then carefully put away the two pieces of clothing given by Concubine Hua and temporarily put them aside, waiting for Zhen Huan to make a decision later.
