After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Zhen Huan took the small fan from Jin Xi's hand and gently waved it, sighing and saying, "If two people are in love, there is no need for such wine. The Queen Mother knows that wine is needed to make the Emperor and Sister Mei happy. It can be seen that what the Emperor did in the past really broke Sister Mei's heart.

I advised the Emperor to visit Sister Mei more often, stay with her for a while to relieve her depression, and I also advised her to be more open-minded, and to consider not only herself but also her future and the honor of her family. But Sister Mei listened to me and stayed around the Empress Dowager all day, seeking her protection.

In this kind of situation, you and I are not Sister Mei, so we don’t understand how upset she is. But the road ahead is long, and if Sister is unwilling to accept the Emperor, she will only hurt herself in the long run!"

Ling Rong held Zhen Huan's hand and gently pressed it twice, "Yes, I think that's the truth, so I felt sad after hearing about this, and I wanted to go with my sister to persuade Sister Mei."

Zhen Huan looked at Luo Yao sleeping peacefully, nodded, and gently touched Ling Rong's belly, saying: "You are almost five months pregnant, right? If it is a girl, she must be as gentle and lovely as you. If it is a prince, he must be a steady one."

Lingrong felt warm in her heart when she thought of the baby in her belly. She knew that the emperor had always been indifferent to her and she had no hope in this palace. Now, when she had a child, she would give him all her love and relationship, and let him grow up to be a calm and generous person, instead of being like herself.

She touched her belly with her hand, lowered her head and smiled: "No matter it is a boy or a girl, as long as it is my own child, I will love it very much."

Since she found out she was pregnant, Lingrong spoke louder, walked more steadily and calmly, and her complexion was brighter than before. She smiled and took Lingrong's hand and said:

"That's great. I see you're getting better day by day. Others get older when they're pregnant, but I see you getting younger and younger."

Lingrong blushed and lowered her head after being praised like this.

Two days later, everyone arrived at the Old Summer Palace. After settling down, a family dinner was held in the Old Summer Palace on the first night as usual. The emperor invited all the concubines and princes to attend the banquet.

Huanbi dressed up specially. She had not heard recently that the emperor had sent the prince out to investigate, nor had she heard that the prince had asked for leave due to illness. She thought to herself that the prince would definitely come tonight.

Soon, almost everyone had arrived at Jiuzhou Qingyan. Among the concubines, only Sister Mei had asked for leave today due to illness and was resting in Xianyue Pavilion. The rest had all arrived.

Huanbi supported Zhen Huan and sat down next to Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing. After a while, just when the banquet was about to begin, Prince Guo came late with big strides.

He came to his seat, bowed to the emperor and said, "I am late, I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

When the emperor heard him say that, he laughed heartily and said, "Old Seventeen, you are late again. I heard that you were unwell a few days ago and were recuperating in the mansion. Are you fully recovered now?"

Prince Guo raised his eyes, clasped his hands, and looked directly at the emperor, but his eyes glanced at Huanbi. When Huanbi noticed the prince's gaze, she lowered her head hurriedly. There were so many people around, and she was a little shy.

The prince retracted his gaze and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, my brother. I went hiking in the suburbs a few days ago and unfortunately fell and injured myself, so I stayed in the mansion to recuperate. I have been recuperating for a few days. I have repeatedly told the servants not to tell anyone about this, but they still failed to control themselves and the news reached my brother's ears. It is my fault that my brother is worried about me.

But now he is much better. Yesterday afternoon he even made an appointment with Shen Beile to ride a horse together!"

Shen Beile hurriedly stood up to testify for Prince Guo, "Your Majesty, what Brother Seventeen said is correct. Even though Brother Seventeen has just recovered, he is just as good as before when he rides his horse and whips the whip."

The emperor laughed and pointed at the two men, "It's good that you are healed. I think among the brothers, you two have a very close relationship. I have so many brothers, it would be great if everyone could be like you two."

When Huanbi heard that the prince was injured, her heart tightened. It turned out that there had been no news about the prince in all this time, and it was because he was injured.

But the prince was very skilled in martial arts, and the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing were just low peaks. With the prince's ability, he could climb them at will, so how could he get hurt? She felt that this was not the case.

The banquet began, and there was still singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere. The concubines and princes were drinking and chatting happily. The emperor and the queen sat together, occasionally saying a few words, and the people below responded one by one. Huanbi stood behind Zhen Huan, helping her to add tea and pick up dishes.

Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze, as if staring at her from above her head. She slowly raised her head and met Prince Guo's burning gaze.

The prince tilted his head and signaled her with his eyes to go out for a while. Huanbi understood what he meant and nodded slightly. She bent over and whispered in Zhen Huan's ear: "I have something to do and will be out for a while. Let Jinxi serve the young lady here."

Zhen Huan understood what was going on and nodded, saying, "Be careful. People in the palace don't know about your relationship with the prince yet. If any gossip gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."

Huanbi nodded, "I know my limits."

While everyone was chatting happily, Huanbi and Prince Guo left one after another. The emperor was no longer surprised by Prince Guo's absence and leaving without reason. It would be surprising if he could attend a banquet honestly from beginning to end!

The two of them walked around Jiuzhou Qingyan and came to the lake next to the back garden. The view here was wide, and if someone came here, they would definitely be discovered, so it was also the safest place.

Prince Guo looked around, and when he saw no one was around, he took a small step forward, hugged Huanbi tightly in his arms, rested his chin on Huanbi's shoulder, and whispered, "Don't move, let me lean on you for a while, okay?"

Huanbi noticed that the prince seemed a little tired, so she stopped talking and just let him hold her quietly, gently patting his back with both hands. She didn't know what had happened to the prince, but she was willing to be someone who could relieve his worries and solve his problems when he needed help.

After a while, the prince finally stood up. He held Huanbi's hand and said, "I haven't contacted you or delivered anything in these days. You won't be angry, right?" Then he gently scratched her nose.

Huanbi smiled and gently knocked the prince's hand away, "Yunli, are you really hurt?"

The prince nodded and said, "Yes, he was injured, but don't worry, he is healed now. The doctor said it was just a flesh wound, it won't be a big deal."
