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

Chapter 107 Taking advantage of the situation

Mei Zhuang patted her jokingly and said, "You are always worrying about this and that. When will you take care of yourself?"

Zhen Huan didn't say anything. She smiled with relief when she saw that her good sister was fine.

On the second day, Meizhuang came to the Qinzheng Hall early in the morning. When the emperor came in, he was a little surprised to see her busy at the table.

"Your Majesty, the weather has been hot recently, so you must have a poor appetite. I specially asked the imperial physician for a prescription, added Chinese medicine to the ingredients, and made an appetizer for your Majesty. I hope you will enjoy it." Mei Zhuang's face was indifferent and her tone was very gentle.

The emperor sat down with a smile, looked at the exquisite and delicious meal on the table and ordered: "Lady Hui, please sit down and eat with me!"

"I haven't been with you for a long time. Your Majesty, please sit down and eat. I will serve you on the side."

Seeing that he was not arrogant, the emperor nodded, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After taking a few bites, he nodded in praise and asked in confusion, "Did Concubine Hui make this herself?"

Mei Zhuang nodded, "The Queen Mother was not feeling well a few days ago. I only knew how to be filial to the Emperor and blindly took care of her. I didn't take care of the Emperor's health. It was my fault. I hope the Emperor will forgive me for my inconsiderateness."

The emperor smiled and took her hand and patted it. "Since you take care of the Queen Mother, I have more free time. How can I blame you? Your cooking skills are quite good. No wonder the Queen Mother likes you."

After saying that, he pointed at the food on the table and said, "This dish is indeed appetizing. I eat it and it is not as greasy as the usual meals. Concubine Hui has put a lot of effort into it."

Mei Zhuang smiled and said, "It is a blessing for me and this dish that the emperor is satisfied with the meal. The emperor is busy dealing with state affairs all day long. Although he claims to be in the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, he is busy all day long and has no free time. I feel really distressed to see this. How about the emperor come to Xianyue Pavilion tonight and I will make some herbal tea by myself for the emperor to taste."

The emperor showed some surprise on his face, and nodded immediately, "Okay, you go back first, I will come at night!"

Outside the house, Su Peisheng looked at Concubine Hui's receding back and thought to himself: Is the sun rising from the west today?

Inside the room, the emperor stared at the memorial, feeling very pleased in his heart. It seemed that Concubine Hui had finally figured it out!

Early the next morning, news came from the Jingshifang that the emperor had stayed in Xianyue Pavilion last night.

Zhen Huan was a little surprised when she heard the news at first, but then she thought, maybe Sister Mei had changed her mind and figured it out.

She was just feeling happy when Mei Zhuang came over and asked, "You are free, what are you doing sitting in the room?"

Zhen Huan quickly stood up upon hearing the voice and asked jokingly, "The Great Lady Shen is here. How did the Great Lady Shen come to her senses last night and decide to keep the Emperor?"

Mei Zhuang's smile suddenly dimmed. "It's nothing to figure out. We just have to go on with our lives."

"Yes, if Sister had been depressed like this, she would have really wasted her beauty and talent. Now, Sister has figured it out and is no longer upset."

Mei Zhuang smiled and looked at Luo Yao in the cradle, stretched out her hand to tease her, "When can I give birth to a child as well-behaved and cute as Luo Yao?"

Zhen Huan whispered in her ear mischievously, "Sister, as long as you let the emperor stay a few more times, you will get it!"

Sister Mei hit her in shame and anger, "You are so shameless to say this in broad daylight!"

At this time, Huanbi came in from outside, holding a cup of tea in her hand and said with a smile: "What are the two young ladies talking about? You are chatting so happily, but the people outside must be worried to death."

Mei Zhuang took the tea and asked, "What happened outside?"

Huanbi walked to Luo Yao's side and glanced at the princess. "I heard that the Queen Mother suddenly became seriously ill last night. The Emperor and the Queen are now in Changchun Xianguan to take care of her!"

"The Empress Dowager was fine a few days ago. What happened?" Mei Zhuang was a little worried. She had been accompanying the Empress Dowager for the past two years, not only to find support for herself, but also because the Empress Dowager was kind and treated her well. Compared with other concubines, her relationship with the Empress Dowager was probably the closest.

"I heard that the emperor wanted to investigate Longkodo some time ago, but the empress dowager tried to stop him but failed. Since then, she has been ill. It wasn't serious in the past few days, but since last night, she has been vomiting continuously, unable to eat, and feeling dizzy."

Mei Zhuang became more and more worried as she listened. She put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Huan'er, I'm still worried. I want to go to Changchun Xianguan to see the Queen Mother."

Zhen Huan pulled her up quickly, "Sister, I'll go with you!"

After a while, they arrived at Changchun Xianguan, where they saw the emperor and the queen standing by the couch waiting for the empress dowager's reply.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and to your Majesty, the Empress."

The emperor turned around and saw the two men looked worried. He asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, and I thought that the Emperor and the Queen must be attending to the sick, so I came here. Sister Mei happened to be in my palace, and she was extremely anxious when she heard the news."

"You two are thoughtful."

"I wonder how the Queen Mother is doing now?"

The imperial physician knelt before the emperor with the medicine bowl in hand, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother still cannot take the medicine."

"You are a bunch of useless people. You can't even feed the Queen Mother medicine. What use do I have for you?"

Zhen Huan hurriedly stroked the emperor's back and comforted him, "Your Majesty, please calm down and be careful not to hurt your body."

"Your Majesty, I am used to serving the Queen Mother. Why don't you let me try to feed her the medicine?"

The imperial physician eagerly observed the emperor's expression. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your help, Concubine Hui."

Coincidentally, although the Empress Dowager was confused, she swallowed all the medicine fed by Concubine Hui in a short time.

"Your Majesty, now that the Queen Mother can take medicine, it means there is no danger. However, if you want the Queen Mother to be healthy, she still needs to be properly recuperated. I have asked someone to boil the medicine. Take a bowl every two hours, and the Queen Mother will be able to wake up before nightfall."

"Well, I understand, you guys go down!"

The queen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Today, thanks to Concubine Hui, even the imperial physician was helpless, but Concubine Hui was able to do it."

"Yes, Mei'er has been taking care of the Empress Dowager all day long, so she must be very familiar with her physical condition, so she is naturally more adept at serving her than others."

The Queen quickly took over the conversation, "I am worried that something might happen to the Empress Dowager's health... Why don't we let Concubine Hui stay here and continue to serve her? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhen Huan saw through the Queen's thoughts at a glance, but didn't know what to say.

Mei Zhuang nodded slightly, her face full of worry, "If the Emperor and the Empress trust me, I will stay here to guard the Empress Dowager."

The emperor naturally had nothing to say.

As soon as the Queen returned to the palace, she saw Concubine Qi waiting for her.
