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

Chapter 9: First Encounter with the Emperor

In the spring, the flowers in the imperial garden are competing for beauty. Zhen Huan stays in the house all day, and everyone in Sui Yuxuan tries to find ways to take her out.

After Liuzhu discussed with Huanbi, she let Xiao Yunzi camp in the nearest imperial garden for the whole autumn.

It was a beautiful spring day. After much persuasion from Huanbi, Zhen Huan finally went out. She brought her flute and sat on the swing, playing it quietly.

Suddenly, a man appeared not far away, standing quietly, carefully looking at the person on the swing. Huanbi was very familiar with him, this was the emperor. She was about to salute, but was stopped by the emperor.

After Zhen Huan finished playing the song, she slowly opened her eyes, her expression obviously flustered, and turned to look at Huanbi.

At this time, the emperor took a few steps forward and said, "I told her not to make a sound."

"You just played the song 'Apricot Blossoms in the Sky' very well suited to the scene, except that there was a slight lag in one part. Are you homesick?"

Zhen Huan did not answer, but bowed and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"

The emperor claimed to be Prince Guo. Zhen Huan doubted his identity but was not sure. She said a few simple words and went back after being reminded by Huanbi.

On the way, Huanbi felt a little flustered. In her previous life, the emperor and the young lady fell in love at first sight under an apricot tree. Later, Concubine Cao instigated the emperor and almost made him suspicious of the young lady. So she had to let the young lady know that the man just now was not Prince Guo, but the emperor, but she couldn't say it directly.

The two returned to Suiyuxuan, and Zhen Huan asked someone to find out whether Prince Guo had entered the palace today. After learning that he had entered the palace, she believed what that man said today.

After a while, Huanbi hurried back and told her that she had asked the eunuch guarding the palace gate, and found out that Prince Guo had entered the palace at noon in the morning, stayed in the palace for only an hour and then left, and had been in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace the whole time. When they saw that person just now, it was almost noon, so it couldn't be Prince Guo.

After hearing this, Zhen Huan looked puzzled, "Why did the emperor pretend to be Prince Guo?"

Huanbi pretended to guess, thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the emperor was afraid that the young lady would know his identity and become restrained, so he said that on purpose!"

Seeing that what she said made sense, Zhen Huan nodded, but she didn't expect that her first meeting with the emperor would be so unexpected and abrupt.

Forget it, since the emperor doesn’t want to reveal his identity, I’ll just pretend to be ignorant.

For three consecutive days, Zhen Huan went to the Imperial Garden to swing on the swing every day. On the third day, she finally saw "Prince Guo" again.

This time, Zhen Huan was obviously a little restrained. How could she not be afraid when she thought that the person in front of her was the emperor? She was even more flustered when she thought that this person was her husband for the rest of her life.

However, the emperor refused to acknowledge his identity, and Zhen Huan obviously kept a distance from him when she spoke. Until the emperor asked her to meet here in three days and gave her a music score, Zhen Huan refused him without a second thought.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I am different from you in status, and this is the inner palace. These two meetings were accidental. If others had met, they would have been able to explain it. But Your Highness invited me. If others knew about it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it, and it would affect our reputation. I really can't agree to it, and I hope Your Highness understands."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Since you have a good reputation, why should you be afraid of other people's eyes?"

Zhen Huan shook her head and finally refused.

It was this rejection that made the emperor worry about her.

From that day onwards, the emperor took a walk in the imperial garden every day. Even though it rained on the third day, the rain did not fall.

On the fourth day, Zhen Huan sat in front of the window, holding her face in her hands, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.

During these two meetings, she felt that although the emperor was majestic and old, his conversation gave people a sense of talent, calmness and nobility, which made her think of him frequently in the past two days.

Seeing that she looked irritable, Huanbi thought of an idea.

"My lady has been taking medicine for several months. I think she is almost recovered. Why don't I ask Doctor Wen to take a look? If it is okay, we can stop taking the medicine."

Zhen Huan looked at her and smiled faintly. This girl understood her best. Why didn't she think of it? She was just dragging her feet on this illness. Once she stopped taking the medicine and took a few days to recuperate, she would be cured. Then, she could hang up her green card and go to see the emperor openly, right?

After a while, Doctor Wen wrote out a recuperation prescription. If she took it for ten days, she would be cured.

The weather has been getting warmer these days. Zhen Huan had just woken up from her nap and felt bored. She walked and came to the Imperial Garden. She sat on the swing, looking at the quiet surroundings, feeling a little lost.

Not far away, Yu Da Ying walked over slowly and went straight to Zhen Huan with an arrogant look.

Huanbi felt unlucky when she saw her, and reminded her from behind: "This is Yu Da Ying."

Zhen Huan looked at her and smiled indifferently, then continued to swing leisurely on the swing.

Seeing that the person in front of her ignored her, Yu Da Ying walked up to her angrily and pointed at her and cursed, but Zhen Huan still ignored her.

Zhen Huan knew very well that Yu Da Ying had suddenly gained favor and did not know how to restrain herself, which had caused dissatisfaction among everyone in the palace. It was heard that she had offended Xia Dongchun a few days ago. Xia was a restless person and slapped her in the face. She relied on her favor to run to the emperor to complain. The queen was also there at the time, but the emperor was too lazy to pay attention. Instead, the queen reported the matter to the empress dowager, stripped her of her title of Madam Miaoyin, and scolded her. Xia Dongchun was not blamed at all.

Seeing that Zhen Huan was indifferent, Yu promised to continue scolding her. However, while the mantis stalks the cicada, there is an oriole behind it. Just as she was glaring with anger, Xia Dongchun came out from behind.

She said sarcastically in a sharp voice, "Yu Da Ying was stripped of his title a few days ago. I didn't expect him to be so forgetful and come out to make trouble so soon?"

Xia Dongchun walked around Yu Ying'er and came to Zhen Huan. She looked at her with contempt and smiled, "Oh, isn't this Concubine Wan? The last time we met was when we first paid our respects. I remember that Concubine Wan flattered the Empress and Concubine Hua. I thought you would be the first to be favored. What's wrong? Concubine Wan hasn't recovered yet, has she?"

Huanbi looked at the two men coldly and laughed secretly in her heart.

At this time, a lazy and familiar voice came from behind, "I just took away your title a few days ago. I thought you would reflect on your mistakes. I didn't expect you to come here and act arrogantly today?"

When Zhen Huan heard the voice, she hurriedly stood up and saluted. The others also knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

The emperor walked straight up to Zhen Huan and reached out to pull her, but she dodged him.

"Concubine, please see the emperor."

"Why is the emperor here?"

"Then why are you here?" The emperor turned around and stood beside Zhen Huan with an unhappy look on his face.

Zhen Huan pretended that she had just learned about the emperor's identity. She rolled her eyes, nodded slightly, and blinked her eyelashes, winking into the emperor's heart.
