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

Zhen Yuandao was instructing his daughter on things to pay attention to after entering the palace. Suddenly, he said, "Huan'er, father has something to entrust to you." His voice sounded a little hoarse.

When Zhen Huan saw her father's serious expression, she realized that this matter was of great importance.

"There is no need for any entrustment between father and daughter. The father should just say it directly. The daughter will do her best to do what she can do."

Zhen Yuandao sighed, his eyes slightly red, "Huanbi...she is your sister. After entering the palace, please take good care of her."

Huanbi was standing outside the door. She felt very uncomfortable when she heard these words. Although she had known it for a long time, she still couldn't control her emotions at this moment.

Zhen Huan looked at her father in surprise, thinking she had heard it wrong.

Zhen Yuandao continued to explain: "Many years ago, Huanbi's mother and I met and fell in love. After Huanbi was born, I could have taken her as a concubine, but she was from the Baiyi tribe and the daughter of a criminal.

She passed away when Huanbi was five or six years old. In the final analysis, I have let her down, and I have let your mother down as well."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan held her father's hand and comforted him, "Father has his own reasons, but mother..."

Zhen Yuandao wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Your mother probably knows, although I haven't told her directly.

In fact, as a father, you can say that Huanbi was born to a concubine, and the concubine died. I had no choice but to bring her home. This way, she can be a concubine's daughter. Although her status is not very noble, she will not be a slave.

But Huan'er, father has made such a mistake. Your mother has given too much to the Zhen family. Father cannot ignore her reputation. In order to keep Huanbi by his side, he has to resort to this desperate measure.

Now, you have become a lady in the palace. Your father hopes that you will keep Huanbi by your side. If there is a man of good character in the future, you can arrange a marriage for them as long as Huanbi is willing.

Father will never be able to repay Huanbi and her daughter in this lifetime..."

As Zhen Yuandao spoke, he lowered his head, feeling filled with guilt.

Zhen Huan comforted her, "Huanbi is prudent and considerate, and treats me so well. I will definitely treat her as my own sister. If she can find a good man in the future, I will arrange everything for her. Don't worry, father."

With her words, Zhen Yuandao felt a little relieved.

Outside the door, Huanbi's tears fell like broken strings. It was impossible to say that she had no resentment in her heart, but after all, he was her father and her mother loved him to the core. Even if she lived her life again, it would be difficult for her to hate him.

Furthermore, as the young lady said, my father also had no choice.

The two people in the room stopped their conversation. Huanbi wiped her tears and quickly hid aside to avoid being seen by her father.

Huanbi returned to her room with a lot on her mind. Liuzhu saw that she was not happy and asked her what was wrong. Huanbi just shook her head and said she was tired and went to bed.

In the room, Liuzhu was breathing evenly and had fallen into a deep sleep, but Huanbi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking that tonight was her last night at the Zhen family, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she got out of bed and went to the yard.

Suddenly, she saw someone sitting at the gate of the courtyard. When she got closer, she found out it was Zhen Yuandao.

"Father... Master, it's late at night and the frost is heavy. Why are you sitting here?"

When Zhen Yuandao heard Huanbi's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then asked her to sit down.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Zhen Yuandao finally spoke:

"Huanbi, after you follow Huan'er into the palace, in addition to helping her, you must also take care of yourself. I... your father is sorry for you."

He sighed, looked at Huanbi's face carefully and said, "You are almost fifteen years old now. If your mother were still alive, she would have been worrying about your marriage in two years."

Huanbi lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, father. I will go with the young lady."

Zhen Yuandao nodded and continued, "There is something that I have never told you. Now that things have come to this, I think I should let you know."

Huanbi searched her mind for memories, but she couldn't remember what else she didn't know about her previous life.

"What would father say?"

Zhen Yuandao said, "Your mother once told me that she suspected that your maternal grandfather's family was framed, but she had no evidence. Your father was only a civil servant with little power in the court. Even if he wanted to investigate, he was powerless.

Your father tells you this so that you don’t look down on yourself and think of yourself as a sinner. If you meet a man you like in the future, you don’t need to feel inferior in front of him.

Your father has delayed your mother's life, and I just hope that you can live a more comfortable life."

Huanbi recalled that her mother had always told her about her grandfather's heroic deeds since she was a child, how her uncle was extremely intelligent at a young age, and how her grandmother was kind and philanthropic, always helping poor families. In her impression, her grandfather's family did not seem like someone who would commit treason, so how could they become criminals?

Thinking of this, Huanbi asked, "Did mother leave any clues to prove that my grandfather's family is not a criminal?"

Zhen Yuandao shook his head. She had only told him her guess back then. He thought about investigating secretly, but it had been so long since the incident, and Huanbi's mother's family was the Baiyi people, far away from the capital, so he couldn't find out anything.

"This matter has passed. You just need to remember what I said." Zhen Yuandao stood up and stared at Huanbi for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's late at night. Huan'er will be gone in two hours. Go to sleep for a while!"

After saying this, his back disappeared into the night.

Huanbi returned to the house, secretly feeling fortunate. She had fantasized more than once before that if her maternal grandfather's family had not been convicted, she would have been able to call her mother father with a clear conscience, and her mother might not have passed away so early. Her father's words tonight gave her some hope.

Once she enters the palace, if she has the chance, she will definitely find a way to investigate what happened back then. If her maternal grandfather's family was really framed, she must not let them die in vain. In this way, her mother's entry into the ancestral temple will not have to wait until she gets married.

Huanbi closed her eyes gently, feeling much more at ease. Listening to Liuzhu's even breathing, she soon fell asleep.

While dazed, Huanbi heard Liuzhu getting dressed, "Huanbi, wake up, it's time, let's go and help the young lady dress up."

Upon hearing the sound, Huanbi quickly got out of bed, tidied herself up, and went to Zhen Huan's boudoir with Liuzhu.

Outside the house, the master, the mistress and Yu Rao looked at their eldest daughter with tears in their eyes.

"Huan'er, you must remember what your father told you last night. If you are not sure of being favored after entering the palace, you must learn to restrain your edge. Your mother and I do not expect you to have a high position. We just hope that my precious daughter can live a comfortable life."

Zhen Yuandao's words made everyone in the room burst into tears. Zhen Huan nodded vigorously, looked at her family reluctantly, and got into the carriage with the help of Huanbi.

It took the carriage nearly an hour to reach the palace gate, and the sky was finally getting bright.
