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

Chapter 127 Junggar's Marriage Proposal

The next morning, the Emperor got up while Zhen Huan was still asleep.

"Hanhuan, you sleep a little longer. There's no rush to get up." The emperor said as he let Su Peisheng help him change clothes.

Zhen Huan slowly stood up and stroked her hair that fell to her chest with both hands. "Your Majesty has woken up so early, how can I sleep peacefully? I should get up too, as I have to go to Jingren Palace to pay my respects to you later!"

The emperor ignored the actions of Su Peisheng's men and sat down beside the bed. "It's okay. If you want to sleep more, you can ask for leave. It's nothing once in a while."

Zhen Huan smiled and took the emperor's hand, leaning her head against his chest, and said softly, "Your Majesty is so diligent. If a concubine can't even pay her respects every day, wouldn't it be unworthy of the emperor's kindness to me?"

The Emperor felt sorry for her, but was also worried that if he indulged Zhen Huan too much, she would become disrespectful to the Empress like Concubine Hua in the past. Fortunately, she was very sensible.

Looking at Zhen Huan leaning against his chest, the emperor couldn't help but raise his hand and gently scratch her nose. "Although my daughter Wan Wan has given birth to a child, if you look closely, she still looks like a 17 or 18-year-old girl. It makes me intoxicated."

"Your Majesty, what you said really embarrasses me. I have been in the palace for several years. My age and appearance are no longer as good as before. If Your Majesty likes pretty girls, you can find other young sisters."

After saying this, Zhen Huan pretended to be angry and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

The emperor really thought she was angry, and hurriedly explained: "I was just making an analogy, I don't really like young women. Well, you are already my mother, if I get angry again, wouldn't it be a joke for the children to see?"

"My child will definitely not laugh at her own mother!" Zhen Huan raised her head proudly and looked away.

The emperor continued to coax her, "Okay, I promise you I won't say such things again in the future."

Only then did Zhen Huan give up.

After the emperor left, Zhen Huan came to the mirror. She looked at her face which was extremely similar to Chun Yuan's, and thought of the emperor's favor for her, and a chill rose in her heart.

Huanbi walked in, "My lady, I feel that the emperor has been paying more attention to you these days than before."

"The emperor is not concerned about me, but he sees Queen Chunyuan through me. I already know the emperor's coldness, so I won't believe his words easily."

Huanbi reached out her hand and began to do Zhen Huan's makeup, "My lady, if you can think this way, it will save you a lot of pain."

Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi who was busy in the mirror and said, "Yes, only a hard heart can prevent oneself from getting hurt."

"By the way, my father's illness was cured thanks to Prince Guo. As a concubine, my status is different from his. Please thank him on my behalf when you see him. If the prince needs any help in the future, I will do my best to help him."

When mentioning the prince, Huanbi became a little shy. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she didn't dare to look at Zhen Huan in the mirror.

"I remember this, but the prince is not a materialistic person. There is nothing missing in the palace. You don't need to send anything."

Zhen Huan turned around with a wicked smile, held Huanbi's arm, and deliberately said: "I see that the palace is not lacking in everything!"

Huanbi was puzzled, "What does the young lady mean by this?"

"Prince Guo's mansion is still lacking a mistress to take charge of the household!"

"My lady, why do you say that? Your servant... Your servant..."

Zhen Huan held her hand and warned her, "You are my father's daughter and my sister. I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, as long as you think the time is right, I will ask the emperor to grant you and the prince a marriage. I will not give others the opportunity to say anything about you."

Huanbi was touched and hugged Zhen Huan gently, "My lady, you treat me so well!"

"Silly girl, besides me and Yu Rao, you are your father's only child. You have been with me in this palace for such a long time, so I will naturally treat you well!"

When the two arrived at Jingren Palace, the other concubines had already arrived.

Zhen Huan was a little embarrassed, and hurried to the Queen and bowed deeply, "I am late and have kept you waiting for a long time. Please forgive me."

The queen was about to speak when Qi Chang snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice: "What a vixen. She seduces the emperor to go to her even though she is pregnant." After saying that, she rolled her eyes with a look of contempt.

"The Emperor stayed at your place last night, so it's only natural that you get up late this morning. Come on, sit down!"

"The Emperor told me yesterday that Junggar wanted to marry a princess of the Qing Dynasty. They specifically requested that the princess not be the daughter of a prince or minister, but must be the daughter of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty does not agree, a war will inevitably break out. The Emperor is worried about this matter now."

The emperor also looked worried after he finished speaking.

Since the death of Concubine Hua, Concubine Duan has been getting healthier day by day. After returning from the Old Summer Palace, she always gets up early to pay her respects to the Queen. She is here today too.

After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Duan suddenly became nervous. She had only raised Wen Yi for such a short time, and the child had finally become close to her. Was he going to leave her just like that?

Besides, Wen Yi is still so young. Even if the emperor doesn't love children, he would not let a baby still in his mother's arms go to marry!

"Empress, the Emperor now has only two princesses, Wen Yi and Luo Yao. And they are still children. How can they..." Concubine Duan couldn't finish the rest of the sentence.

At this time, a report came from outside the door, "The Emperor has arrived!"

The emperor nodded and walked straight to the top. The queen hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat, "You are all here today!"

"Why is the Emperor here at this time?" The Queen was puzzled. Shouldn't the Emperor be holding a morning court session at this moment?

"I was discussing Junggar's marriage proposal with the ministers in the previous court. The ministers surrounded Wen Yi and talked for a long time. I couldn't bear it and it gave me a headache, so I came here.

You are all here today, do you have any good ideas? If you can really solve this problem, it will be considered a contribution to the Qing Dynasty."

Concubine Duan stood up anxiously and bowed. Her face looked a little haggard today. "Your Majesty, it's not that I have any selfish motives. If Wen Yi is twelve or thirteen years older, I will naturally agree to the princess marrying and sharing the worries of the country.

But the princess is still young, and has just gotten familiar with the people and things around her when she came to my place. If she has to live in a different environment, it would be a harm to her!"

While everyone's eyes were on the Emperor and Concubine Duan, Huanbi whispered a few words into Zhen Huan's ear. Her voice was so low that it could not be heard clearly unless one listened carefully.

Zhen Huan thought for a while and said, "Don't be too sad, Concubine Duan. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."

The Queen probably thought of it as well, but she didn't want to and didn't dare to say it out loud. She didn't want to be blamed by the Queen Mother for no reason.

So he asked, "From what Wanpin said, is there any good solution?"

Zhen Huan thought about it for a while and nodded, "I am not talented, but I do have an idea, but..."

The emperor was overjoyed, and his usually small eyes widened widely, "Princess Wan, please feel free to speak!"
