Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan meaningfully, but saw that Zhen Huan's eyes were indifferent and she didn't seem to mind at all, so she smiled back at Huanbi.

The queen was very satisfied with her behavior and said with a smile: "Lan Chang has only been in the palace for a short time, and I haven't had much time to train her. I think she needs to learn the etiquette and rules of the palace."

The emperor chuckled and said, "It's impossible to learn all the rules of the palace in a short time. Why not learn while watching? It's more direct."

The Queen could tell that the Emperor was very satisfied with her arrangement.

Smiling and nodding, "Lan Chang was favored by the emperor as soon as he entered the palace. He is indeed a blessed person. Lan Changzai, you must serve the emperor well in the future. I hope you can give birth to a dragon fetus for the emperor soon."

When the word "dragon fetus" was mentioned, the emperor's eyes dodged for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual seriousness, smiling leisurely: "Thank you, Queen, for your concern!" He raised a glass of wine.

Zhen Huan looked at the Queen and saw a look of provocation and arrogance in her eyes.

Lan Changzai sat next to Ling Rong, nodding at her and Mei Zhuang with a gentle look, completely different from the domineering Concubine Hua in the past.

After the meal, the concubines stood up one by one and bowed and knelt. Zhen Huan also stood up slowly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

The emperor extended his hand, his eyes filled with reluctance, "Wanpin... I haven't had a night talk with you by candlelight for a long time. The moonlight is bright tonight, why don't we sit by the window and chat for a while?"

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "Tonight is the night of the full moon. Your Majesty should go and accompany your mother, the Empress."

The emperor just remembered and felt a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to speak, the queen spoke first and said virtuously, "Everything depends on your Majesty's wishes. I have nothing to say."

The emperor smiled and looked at Zhen Huan, but unexpectedly Zhen Huan said:

"I am already satisfied that Your Majesty has me in his heart. I believe that I can understand Your Majesty's feelings, no matter what time it is. And I am pregnant and it is not appropriate for me to accompany you. Tonight, I feel unwell and I am afraid that I can't serve Your Majesty well."

Neither the emperor nor the empress expected that she would insist on not doing it, which made the emperor feel even more itchy, wondering if this girl was angry?

After saying this, Zhen Huan bowed and left with a faint smile.

The emperor glanced at the queen and felt a little displeased.

The Queen pretended not to notice and smiled, "Your Majesty, I am fine with whatever I do. If Your Majesty does not want to go to my place, why not go to Lan Changzai's place? It's just that Lan Changzai's residence has not been properly arranged yet, and I am worried that Your Majesty will not be comfortable living there..."

The emperor shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked out at a brisk pace, saying as he walked, "Let's go to Jingren Palace!"

Zhen Huan returned to the palace, sat in front of the mirror and looked at her appearance. Suddenly she laughed at herself, "I used to mind the emperor using me as a stand-in, but now I take the initiative to imitate him. It's really rare!"

Huanbi raised her hand and gently took off the hair ornaments on her head, "My lady, you have been wearing so many pearls, jade and gold ornaments all night, your neck must be tired, I will give you a massage to loosen it up."

Zhen Huan held her hand, "No need, you are tired too, right?"

Huanbi shook her head, "My lady, are you playing hard to get by not letting the emperor come over tonight?"

"Yes, it's like this tonight and tomorrow night too. If the emperor comes, there's no need to keep him. Just tell him that I'm not feeling well."

"The more the young lady refuses the emperor, the more impatient and curious he becomes. I'm afraid he doesn't want to go anywhere except the Shuyuxuan," Huanbi said jokingly, trying to make Zhen Huan laugh.

Zhen Huan looked at her clothes and said, "The Queen must be worried about me wearing this tonight, but I didn't expect her to find a woman who looks very similar to Concubine Hua. What do you think of Concubine Lan?"

Huanbi pursed her lips, "That woman does look a lot like Concubine Hua, but Concubine Hua is arrogant and domineering, and at first glance she is a woman from a wealthy family. Concubine Lan seems to have a very gentle personality, and her every word and action is determined by the Queen's eyes."

"The Queen is worried that she can no longer control me, so she wants to find someone to divert the Emperor's attention. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong person."

Huanbi thought for a moment, and for some reason she had a premonition that although Lan Chang seemed to obey the Queen's orders on the surface, she was not that kind of person in her heart. She gave people the impression that she was far from being as innocent as she looked. "

Zhen Huan didn't notice it, but she believed what Huanbi said, "Please have someone keep an eye out and see what kind of person Lan Changzai is."

On the other side, the emperor entered Jingren Palace and sat on the chair for a long time. Suddenly he asked the queen:

"What do you think, Queen, are Chunyuan and Huanhuan similar?"

The queen was a little surprised, and after a moment of shock, she replied, "In terms of appearance, Wanpin does look very similar to my sister, but in terms of character and behavior, I think no one can surpass my sister."

The emperor nodded vaguely, "Chun Yuan is the love I have been seeking in this life, but Huan Huan...she does have a different temperament from Chun Yuan. I think if she were a man, she would definitely be able to accomplish great things."

The queen was confused by what he said, so she asked tentatively, "What does the emperor mean?"

"I'm just sighing. Well, it's getting late. Let's go to bed!"

After washing up, the emperor went to bed first. Jianqiu came in quietly and the queen called her over.

"Has Chang Lan's residence been settled?"

Jianqiu nodded gently, "Everything has been arranged properly."

"Have you delivered all the things I asked you to deliver?"

Jianqiu covered her mouth and whispered in the Queen's ear: "It was sent. Concubine Lan liked it very much. She placed the golden pillow on the couch on the spot and said she wanted to use it every night!"

The Queen curled her lips in satisfaction, "That's good. I guess the Emperor has been thinking about Concubine Wan since he saw her today. You should ask Concubine Lan to take the initiative. If she wants to gain favor soon, she has to work hard on her own."

Jianqiu nodded, "I understand, the emperor has fallen asleep, your Highness should also go to bed early!"

The queen looked at the man sleeping on the couch, nodded contentedly, and sent Jianqiu away.

Late at night, the queen couldn't sleep. She gently touched the emperor's eyebrows with her fingers, gestured the emperor's appearance in the air with her hands, and her eyes were full of love.

Your Majesty, no one can take away my favor and the position in your heart. Not my sister, not Concubine Hua, and not Concubine Wan!

She spoke secretly to the emperor in her heart, even though the man was unaware.

The Queen's fingers gently traced the contours of the Emperor's face and whispered, "Your Majesty, I know that you love me the most in your heart!"

Then he fell asleep with eyes full of relief.
