After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite
Chapter 16: Dance
On the second day, Liu Bin came to pay his respects again. Sister Mei took out some cakes from her hometown to test him. However, Liu Bin was hesitant and his words were inconsistent. Sister Mei knew that there was something wrong with him, but she asked Caiyue to send him away properly as usual and did not say anything more.
After staying in the Old Summer Palace for more than twenty days, Zhen Huan met the Fourth Prince during this time and learned that he was a poor man who had lost his mother when he was young. Zhen Huan could not help but show more concern for him. Although the child had no mother to teach him, he was smart and well-educated, which made people like him.
On this day, news spread from Xianyue Pavilion that Sister Mei was pregnant. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong hurried there to congratulate Sister Mei. The Queen Mother also rewarded her with a golden hairpin. Sister Mei was extremely happy and wore it on her head every day.
Late at night, the concubines dispersed from the family banquet and returned to the palace. Zhen Huan looked at the moonlight outside the window and was overjoyed to think that her sister Mei was pregnant. However, the Emperor came to her place quite often, so why was there no movement in her belly?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little lost.
Huanbi gently waved her silk fan and noticed the disappointment in Zhen Huan's eyes.
"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Zhen Huan unconsciously touched her belly with her right hand and said self-deprecatingly, "Sister Mei gave me a prescription that day, saying it could regulate the body and help pregnancy, but I didn't think so. Now that sister is pregnant, I don't know when I can have my own child."
Huanbi slowed down her movements, smiled softly, and said jokingly: "My lady is a person of great fortune, and will definitely give birth to a bunch of lovely children."
Zhen Huan was a little shy, "How can I afford to raise a bunch of children?"
Huanbi smiled and said, "The young lady's child is the emperor's child. The whole world belongs to the emperor. How can he not be able to raise him?"
When Zhen Huan heard this, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and she began to look forward to having her own child.
People easily get tired in summer, and the emperor was in the Old Summer Palace, so he had even less things to do. It happened to be Princess Wen Yi's first birthday, so the emperor ordered people to hold a banquet at Jiuzhou Qingyan to celebrate Wen Yi's birthday.
After taking a few bites of the dishes, Zhen Huan felt a little bored at the banquet, so she took Huanbi and sneaked to the lake.
Seeing that there was no one around, the two took off their shoes, went into the water, and started playing around.
At this time, Zhen Huan heard someone coming from the bushes on the shore.
Zhen Huan was a little nervous and pulled Huanbi's sleeve, "Shh, don't make any noise. If someone finds out that we took off our shoes, it will be bad news."
Huanbi reached out, groped for the shoes of both of them, and helped the young lady put on her shoes. She let the young lady go ashore first to delay so that she could put on her shoes.
Zhen Huan came to the shore and saw a man standing not far away. The man was carrying a long flute and smelled strongly of rose wine. She guessed that it was Prince Guo.
Prince Guo didn't know her, but he saw that her features were somewhat similar to Miss Huanbi. After they greeted each other, they chatted for a while.
Huanbi put on her shoes and went ashore. When she saw that the person on the shore was Prince Guo, she immediately felt relieved.
She bowed and saluted, "Your servant greets Prince Guo."
Zhen Huan was a little surprised. It was the first time she met Prince Guo. How did Huanbi know him? Had they met before?
She looked at Huanbi and saw that the girl's ears were red, and her mind couldn't help but become active.
Today is the day when Concubine Shu entered the palace. When Prince Guo heard the Emperor mention the Empress Dowager at the banquet, he thought of his own mother. Unable to conceal his emotions for a moment, he came out to get some fresh air to clear his mind. Unexpectedly, he met Miss Huanbi here.
Prince Guo handed the wine pot to Ah Jin, took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Miss Huanbi, what a coincidence."
Huanbi raised her eyes to look at Zhen Huan, as if asking her for help. Zhen Huan immediately understood the look in Huanbi's eyes, said goodbye to Prince Guo, and left with Huanbi.
On the way back to Jiuzhou Qingyan, Zhen Huan asked Huanbi when she met Prince Guo. Huanbi only talked about the scene of their first meeting by the lake and nothing else. Zhen Huan gave her a few instructions and the two of them entered the banquet.
As soon as she entered, Concubine Cao asked her to dance the Jinghong Dance in the name of a game. Zhen Huan was unsure because she had learned the Jinghong Dance before, but when it was mentioned, everyone said that Empress Chunyuan's dancing was unmatched back then. Even Prince Heng spoke rudely, implying that the people in the Emperor's harem were not as good as the dancers in his own mansion. Now Zhen Huan was in a dilemma whether to dance or not.
Huanbi held Zhen Huan's arm and whispered, "Don't worry, my lady. Although they compared her to Queen Chunyuan, except for the emperor and the queen, I'm afraid that others have never seen Queen Chunyuan dance. They are just talking about it. My lady dances beautifully, so why should you be afraid?"
Zhen Huan gained some confidence from what she said, "Huanbi, please accompany me to change clothes."
The two of them left the banquet temporarily and went to a side room. Zhen Huan changed into a pink lotus sleeve dress, which made her figure look light and slender.
Huanbi tied her skirt and said, "My lady, please wait for me for a moment. I will be back soon."
Zhen Huan didn't know what this girl was going to do, but seeing her confident look, she agreed.
After a while, Huanbi came back and the two returned to the banquet together.
Zhen Huan stood in the center of the banquet hall. Mei Jiejie and Ling Rong played the piano and sang a song respectively. The three of them complemented each other, and a moving dance slowly began.
Zhen Huan had just jumped twice when suddenly, a clear flute sound came from outside the door. She froze, turned around and saw that it was Prince Guo.
Prince Guo nodded to Huanbi who was sitting next to him.
A flute, a zither, a dance and a song; this well-coordinated performance made everyone nod in approval.
Prince Heng had nothing to say. He was completely impressed by the performance of these four people and could only drink awkwardly.
On the other hand, Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao, who wanted to embarrass Zhen Huan, looked even uglier, because the Emperor not only did not punish Zhen Huan, but rewarded her in front of everyone and called her to sit next to him.
The banquet was finally over. Zhen Huan was walking forward holding Huanbi's hand when Concubine Duan called her and suggested that they walk together. For some reason, Zhen Huan felt that Concubine Duan was very friendly. The two of them sent away the maid and walked into the night together.
After leaving Jiuzhou Qingyan, Huanbi kept looking for Prince Guo. After changing her clothes, she went to find Prince Guo and asked him to help her play the flute to add a touch of color to her stunning dance. Originally, she just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect the prince to agree so readily.
At this moment, she wanted to find the prince to thank him, but the prince left in a hurry and had disappeared long ago. Feeling a little lost, with her shoulders drooped, Huanbi walked towards the direction of Bitong Academy.
Not long after we walked away, suddenly, a person jumped out from the bushes nearby.
