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

At this time Liuzhu gave Huanbi a look, and he grabbed Xiao Yunzi's sleeve. Huanbi pried his hand open with force and took out the small statue.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the statue. "This... Xiao Yunzi's hands are really skillful. Look at this statue, it looks exactly like the young master." Jinxi's words were filled with joy, and she continued:

"There's a rumor in the palace that if you hang the statue high up on New Year's Eve, you can pray for your wishes to come true!"

Zhen Huan immediately became interested when she heard this, and murmured, "A high place, that means a tree. It's so cold today, and the trees are all bare. Wouldn't it be better if I could hang on a tree full of flowers?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes looked a little dim. Where can one find a tree full of flowers in winter?

At this time, Jin Xi thought of a place, "I heard that the red plum blossoms in Yimei Garden are in full bloom these days..."

Without waiting for Jingxi to finish speaking, Zhen Huan picked up her cloak and ran out.

The servants were worried that she would catch a cold and her condition would get worse. They were also afraid that she would get into trouble if someone saw her, so they all ran to the door to stop her. Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan was determined to go out. Seeing that everyone was trying to stop her, she said, "The emperor, the empress, and the concubines are all going to the banquet tonight, so no one will see me. I'm wearing a cloak and a hat. If you are worried, just find someone to accompany me."

Without thinking, Huanbi went forward to help Zhen Huan tie her cloak and followed her away, leaving Liuzhu, who wanted to follow, sighing in the room.

In the Meimei Garden, the snowflakes reflect the clusters of red plum blossoms, which looks like an auspicious sign.

Zhen Huan took the small statue and entered the center of the garden, while Huanbi stood not far away, watching to prevent anyone from coming.

Zhen Huan hung the small portrait on a treetop, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and made a wish: "I wish my parents and sister good health, and I wish I can live in peace in the palace for the rest of my life. If the north wind understands my feelings, please don't destroy me..."

Before she could finish her third wish, a steady male voice suddenly rang out: "Who's there?"

Zhen Huan was so scared that she said she was a palace maid in Yime Garden and was able to escape.

Huanbi looked in the direction where the young lady came from. Suddenly, her eyes became blurry. It was Prince Guo...

In her previous life, she was deeply in love with Prince Guo, and she was willing to do so even though he had never loved her. In this life, she thought she could have let it go, but at this moment, even if she just looked at him from a distance, she couldn't help herself.

Zhen Huan walked to Huanbi with the extinguished lamp and said softly, "Huanbi, hurry up!" Then she left in a flash.

Huanbi let out a long sigh and did not follow.

Just as Prince Guo walked to the tree where the young lady had made a wish, Huanbi ran over quickly and took down the small statue from the tree.

In the previous life, it was because of this little statue that the emperor was constantly suspicious of the young lady. This time, she couldn't let it fall into the hands of Prince Guo, so as to avoid any disaster.

Huanbi clutched the statue tightly and hurried out of Yime Garden, unaware that the people behind her had seen her back.

Prince Guo looked at the footprints in the snow. Under the bright moonlight, the snow in other places had not been trampled, only here there were two pairs of footprints of different sizes. He guessed that two people had just been here.

At this time, the emperor came over with his hands in his warm sleeves and asked lazily, "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to follow me?"

Prince Guo turned around and pretended to apologize, explaining, "It was freezing cold, and the emperor's wife was worried, so she asked me to follow you. I hope your brother will forgive me."

The emperor laughed and said nothing.

Prince Guo continued to explain: "The red plum blossoms at the palace banquet... Empress Hua entered the palace late, I think it was unintentional."

The emperor did not respond, but told him: "I didn't expect that there are talented people among the palace maids." There was some surprise and amusement in his eyes.

Prince Guo immediately understood the emperor's intention.

As expected, a few days later, Su Peisheng received an imperial order to find the palace maids in Yimeyuan to write couplets. As luck would have it, after just a few of them, someone gave the answer. Su Peisheng excitedly ran to the emperor to please him and brought the palace maid with him.

The emperor saw that she looked more decent than the ordinary palace maids, and when he heard her reciting the two lines of the plum blossom poem that Empress Chunyuan loved to recite the most, he kept her.

It happened that Prince Guo was playing chess with the Emperor at this time, and the Emperor had a new wife, so Prince Guo naturally left tactfully. Before leaving, he deliberately said two lines of poetry, but the palace maid couldn't respond to a single one of them. He then knew that this palace maid was not the one who made the Emperor's heart beat on New Year's Eve, and that it was just that as long as the Emperor was happy, he would not say anything else.

Not long after, because the palace maid named Yu could sing, the emperor specially bestowed her with the title: Madam Miaoyin, and also made her a concubine. It can be said that she was in great glory and even acted arrogant in front of Mei Zhuang. If Mei Zhuang had not been dignified and generous, she would probably have argued with her.

This made Xia Changzai, who had only served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber two or three times since entering the palace, very angry. It would have been fine if it happened to other people, but she was just a palace maid whose status was ten times lower than hers. However, the emperor liked her. After all, she could only go crazy in her own palace and dared not say anything in front of others.

The New Year has passed and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

Zhen Huan had been taking medicine for half a year and had been staying in Sui Yuxuan and rarely went out, so she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

When they were in the mansion before, Liuzhu and Huanbi talked a lot, but now Huanbi reads books and practices calligraphy whenever she has free time. Now she can occasionally talk to her about history books and biographies of celebrities, which makes her feel less bored.

In addition, Sister Mei and Lingrong would come over to talk to her from time to time.

After Madam Miaoyin became favored, she took refuge with Concubine Hua. Whenever Sister Mei came over, she looked unhappy. In order not to make Zhen Huan worry, she didn't say anything.

That day, An Lingrong had just returned from Meizhuang Palace when Baojuan happily told her that she had been chosen tonight and the flower shop had also sent her precious jade table and golden cups.

An Lingrong was naturally happy. After waiting for so long, the emperor finally remembered her.

At this moment, Huanbi came over and bowed, "This servant greets Concubine An."

An Lingrong smiled and asked Huanbi to sit down. Huanbi didn't hesitate and sat down at the table directly. This surprised An Lingrong and Baojuan, but considering that she had a close friendship with Sister Wan, An Lingrong didn't think much about it.

Baojuan, on the other hand, gritted her teeth and looked at the flowers on the table angrily when she saw her mistress being so close to Huanbi.

An Lingrong asked Huanbi: "Sister asked you to come here now, what's the matter?"

Huanbi smiled and replied, "Our young master got some fresh ingredients. Thinking that An Changzai is weak, she asked the maid to bring some over. Xiao Yunzi has already sent the food to the small kitchen. Why don't we ask An Changzai to have someone check it out and pick out some of An Changzai's favorites for dinner."

An Lingrong was about to speak when Baojuan interrupted her. "Miss Huanbi meant well, but the Emperor has turned over our young lady's name tonight, so I'm afraid she shouldn't eat too much for dinner."

Huanbi looked surprised and stood up to salute, "Congratulations to Concubine An, but the ingredients are not long-lasting. Please promise to let someone go and take a look."

An Lingrong realized that Huanbi wanted to get rid of Baojuan, and thought that her sister Wan had something to tell her, so she sent Baojuan away.
