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

After the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she never got out of bed again. Seeing that her body was getting weaker day by day, Zhen Huan became a little anxious.

If the Queen Mother dies one day, Prince Guo will have to observe mourning for three years and will not be allowed to get married. Huanbi and the prince have known each other and have been loyal to each other for three years. Wouldn't it be a waste of their best years to wait for another three years?

Zhen Huan leaned back in her chair, fanning herself, and asked:

"How long will it take for Prince Guo to return to the capital? You two will get married immediately after he returns. I will instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be more diligent in the next few days and prepare all the things you need. I just don't know how the preparations are going at the Prince's Mansion."

Huanbi's fair cheeks instantly turned into ripe apples. She bit her lip and replied, "Before the prince left, he told the people in the palace to make preparations. However, since there are more people than us and everyone is responsible for their own affairs, the palace may be slower."

Zhen Huan nodded, "Yes, we have to wait until the prince comes back. By the way, I asked yesterday, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that your wedding dress will be ready today. Remember to bring it back and try it on in advance. If there is anything that doesn't fit, you can take more time to modify it."

Huanbi hummed, and intertwined her slender fingers, appearing a little more shy than usual.

Liu Zhu came forward and teased, "Huanbi, I can't bear to leave you. After you marry into the palace, it will be even more difficult for me to see you."

Huanbi nudged her gently and said, "After you get married, you will probably live in the capital. If there is nothing going on, can't we see each other whenever we want?"

Liu Zhu didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by this girl. She pouted and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I haven't even started with my business yet!"

Although she said this, Liu Zhu's round eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.

"What do you mean by 'no clue'? My lady has already met Guard Yan a few days ago. When the Emperor came over last night, my lady specially recommended him to the Emperor, and the Emperor has promoted him to be the Imperial Guard!"

"What? My lady, was what Huanbi just said true?" Liu Zhu was so shocked that the things in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Zhen Huan curled the corners of her lips and smiled warmly.

"Although Yan Yu is young, he is a man of good character and gentle personality. Most importantly, he treats you sincerely. I sent someone to inquire about him. He has not been promoted in recent years because he does not know how to curry favor with the rich and powerful. He can only be an ordinary guard of a lower rank.

The emperor is in need of some smart guards, and he treats you sincerely, so I recommended him to the emperor. Firstly, you can feel at ease, and secondly, people with both talent and virtue should not be buried. This move can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

But if he changes his mind about you in the future, you must tell me immediately, and don't let yourself be bullied in vain."

Liu Zhu looked at Zhen Huan with gratitude. She didn't expect that the lady would be so thoughtful of her.

Huanbi's eyes curved as she teased her: "My lady, you can rest assured about this. Liuzhu is very straightforward. When she talks, ordinary men will always be speechless. She is not the kind of person who can keep things to herself."

The master, his servant and the other two laughed together, and the room became lively.

As the days passed, Yongshou Palace became the liveliest place in the palace. After a nap that day, Liu Zhu was helping Zhen Huan with her makeup when they heard people talking outside.

"Xiao Yunzi, what's going on outside?"

Xiao Yunzi rushed in and said, "My lady, someone is here to propose marriage."

"Propose marriage?" Zhen Huan stroked the hairpin on her head, stood up and walked into the main hall, glanced at Liu Zhu, and said with a smile: "You just served me, your makeup and hair are messed up, go and change Huanbi, you go and clean it up first."

Then he turned around and shouted to Xiao Yunzi: "Let someone in!"

Yan Yu walked in carrying a box. After paying his respects, he looked around and found that there was no sign of Liu Zhu.

"What brings Guard Yan here today?"

Yan Yu opened the box and listed his house deeds, land deeds, the number of people in his family, what they did, betrothal gifts, etc. He wiped the sweat off his forehead nervously.

"I have come to bother you today to propose marriage. I have long admired Miss Liu Zhu and would like to marry her.

I am sorry for my sudden arrival today, Your Majesty, and I hope you will forgive me. I have never experienced anything like this, so I don't know what to do. I didn't sleep all night last night, and finally decided to bring all my belongings here for Your Majesty and Liu Zhu to review.

I am not good at speaking, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, if you are willing to hand Liu Zhu over to me, I will definitely treat her as the most precious person, do my best to protect her, and will never let her be sad or suffer.

If there is even a trace of falsehood in what I said today, Your Majesty can punish me at any time when I go in and out of the palace every day, and I will never excuse myself in the slightest."

Zhen Huan looked at this kind and gentle guard and smiled. "I already understand what Guard Yan means. Since you are serving in front of the emperor, you dare not deceive me. However, I have to ask Liu Zhu for her opinion before making a decision."

She raised her head and glanced at Huanbi, "Go and see if Liuzhu has finished packing."

Huanbi bowed happily and walked out of the door in two steps.

After a while, Huanbi came in with Liuzhu.

Liu Zhu was seen wearing a goose yellow thin coat with a moon-white butterfly skirt underneath. She usually did not wear makeup, but today she put some facial rouge and lip balm on her face, and her complexion looked much better. Her big round eyes were clear and bright, and she had two girlish buns on her hair, which made her look very lively and smart, making people feel much happier when they saw her.

Liu Zhu raised his head slightly, glanced at Yan Yu quietly, then lowered his head again, his voice a little softer than usual, "Guard Yan, you're here."

"Huanbi, help me go see Lingrong." Zhen Huan stood up and whispered as she passed by Liuzhu, "You must grasp your own happiness well. It's up to you." Her voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

Liuzhu and Yanyu's wedding date was set for early September. Just as the date was set, they heard that Prince Guo had returned to the capital. Huanbi finally let go of her worries, and she no longer dreamed that the prince's boat was in trouble in the river.

After returning to the capital, Prince Guo first sent A Jin to Anqi Temple to report his safety to Concubine Shu, and then he immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor everything he had found out.

The emperor held him down in the Yangxin Palace and talked to him for a long time. They also played several games of chess together before he was willing to let her go.

Since everyone in the palace now knows about his marriage to Huanbi, Prince Guo no longer needs to be shy about it. After leaving the Yangxin Palace, he went to Shoukang Palace, and after seeing the Empress Dowager, he went straight to Yongshou Palace.

He stood at the door for a long time, and finally saw a palace maid coming out, then he asked someone to pass a message to Huanbi.

The two of them came to the pavilion beside the imperial garden and sat opposite each other. Prince Guo's eyes were soft and affectionate, and the longing for her over the past few days was evident in his eyes.
