Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 224 Hongli and Shui Linglong meet for the first time

Having made up her mind, Shui Linglong closed the door, plugged her ears and went to sleep, keeping herself in the best condition for the expedition tomorrow.

Zhen Huan sent Zhenshu to help her deliver the letter, Xiaochun went to inform the concubines, and she took Ningxia with her to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

When she left, Hengchui saw her off as usual.

"Hengchu, do the emperor's sister-in-law a favor."

Hengchu nodded, and Zhen Huan told her all her plans and asked her to help calm the Queen Mother.

She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be one step ahead of Ruyi and be irritated to death by the Emperor's calling prostitutes, or that if she went out to stop him, she would awaken the Emperor's rebellious heart.

After Hongli discussed the matter, Wei Yanwan came to him and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen invited us to go boating on the lake today, saying that she only strengthened the protection of the secret guards around us, and did not order the garrison to clear the area."

"I think this would be fun, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to go with me."

Hongli pretended to frown and said, "The sun is rising from the west. You are a bunch of ungrateful wolves. You know you want to go out and play and invite me to join you."

Wei Yanwan took his arm, shook it gently, and said, "Your Majesty, on weekdays in the palace, we dare not disturb Your Majesty when he is handling government affairs. Now that we are out, we dare to ask for Your Majesty's company."

Hongli stood up contentedly and followed Wei Yanwan out.

He looked around and asked, "Where is the Empress Dowager?"

Zhen Huan replied, "The Queen Mother said she was not in the mood today and just wanted to rest in the palace for a day, so she didn't come out to spoil our fun."

"I have carefully consulted the Imperial Physician Wei Lin, and the Empress Dowager is in good health. She is just a little tired from the long journey. She just needs to rest for a few more days. Your Majesty, rest assured."

Hongli nodded with satisfaction. Whenever he asked a question, the Queen would briefly report all the relevant matters to him, which made him feel very comfortable.

The concubines viewed the ten scenes of West Lake and were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.

Hanxiang was curious about why the Broken Bridge was called the Broken Bridge. Eyinzhu didn't know either, so he tilted his head and thought about it.

Ruyi sighed and said sadly: "The lonely mountain is not lonely, but your heart is lonely; the broken bridge is not broken, but my heart is broken."

When Hanxiang heard this, she felt a little sad, lowered her eyelids and stopped talking.

Zhen Huan pointed to the door on the broken bridge and explained, "Because it snows, the snow will fall on the door frame, and there will be no traces of snow on the bridge. From a distance, it looks like the bridge is broken."

"As for Gushan, it was isolated from human habitation during the Southern Song Dynasty due to transportation barriers. In ancient times, it was a place where hermits lived and it was a paradise."

When Han Xiang heard Zhen Huan's explanation, her sadness faded a lot.

Gao Xiyue came close to Han Xiang and whispered, "In fact, the lonely mountain is not lonely, but the lonely people are lonely; the broken bridge is not broken, but the heart is broken; the long bridge is not long, but the love is long."

"The last two are both poignant and touching stories. Only the first sentence was edited by the emperor the last time he came. He also wrote an inscription for Gushan, but deliberately omitted the bottom dot to show his uniqueness."

Han Xiang curled her lips, her disdain was particularly obvious. Such a beautiful scenery must have people and things that spoil it.

Yihuan told the four-member street-dwelling group the story of White Snake and Xu Xian and Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which moved Hanxiang so much that she burst into tears.

“It would be nice if people could really turn into butterflies.”

"The culture of the Han people has a long history, and there are many touching stories. In the Central Plains, every place and every landscape has many legends from ancient times to the present. I will slowly tell you about them in the future."

The four of them surrounded Yihuan and really liked this sister who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Everyone boarded the boat to tour the lake. When they reached the center of the lake, they heard ethereal and melodious singing, lingering in the wonders of nature.

When they passed a bay, they saw a graceful figure sitting on a small boat in the distance. She was holding a bunch of flowers, picking off extra branches and leaves, and humming a southern tune casually.

The dress of a common woman was not as rigid and dignified as that of a palace concubine. Her long black hair, which was combed behind her head and let down by the wind from the lake, fluttered in the air.

She placed the picked flowers in the lake, scooped up a handful of water with her hands, and splashed it on the little maid behind her mischievously, then laughed like a silver bell.

Shui Linglong has deep eyes and a turned-up nose, and is a beautiful girl. Zhen Huan suggested that she wear a fiery red dress. Hongli has no favorite or hated colors, she only likes the colors that make her look more beautiful.

The flower mother in the brothel likes to make her clothes flowing. Shui Linglong is wearing a red dress, standing in the green waves, her dress fluttering, making the world look like green leaves that set off her.

That kind of wanton and lazy feeling is something that concubines cannot possess.

As the cruise ship approached, we could see Qing Shui's exquisite facial features and her charming and affectionate fox eyes.

She saw everyone, obviously dressed as royalty, and bowed slightly, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you all."

Ruyi was quite unhappy when she saw the beauty in front of her, and she muttered, "Don't you even bow to the emperor?"

Shui Linglong knelt down and said, "I have never seen the emperor, and I don't know the etiquette. I beg the emperor and the ladies to forgive me."

Hongli waved his hand to let her stand up.

"Ignorance is not a crime. I was in a good mood and did not clear the place, which disturbed the girl's fun."

"It is a great honor for a common woman to see the face of the emperor."

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "This girl has a clear voice. It is a great honor for me to be able to enjoy her elegant singing."

Shui Linglong blushed and said, "This lady is praising me so highly, I dare not accept it."

Zhen Huan gave Shui Linglong some jewelry and let her leave.

She left the pleasure boat and boarded her own small boat. When the two boats passed each other, everyone saw the words "Tianxiang Tower" on Shui Linglong's small boat.

She is knowledgeable, well-mannered, and neither humble nor arrogant, breaking everyone's inherent perception of prostitutes.

Zhen Huan came close to Hongli and whispered, "Such a beauty must be matched only by the legendary Miss Shui Linglong."

Hongli laughed and said, "No way, it's such a coincidence."

Zhen Huan added, "I like this girl's singing voice. Can I invite her to perform in the palace?"

Hongli blushed and said, "If the queen likes it, send someone to find it."

Ruyi's disgust for Zhen Huan has almost become reality. If looks could kill, Zhen Huan would have been torn to pieces by now.

She said in dissatisfaction: "Queen, how can you let a prostitute go to the palace?"

Zhen Huan said, "I want to hear her sing. Why not invite her to perform in the palace?"

"She's a whore."

Zhen Huan pulled Hongli's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to ask around. If it's a prostitute, let her come over. I really like this girl."

Hongli nodded and smiled lovingly at Zhen Huan: "Okay, as long as the Queen likes it, everything is fine."

On the way back to the harem, Jin Yuyan was puzzled as to why Zhen Huan chose the faraway place instead of the near one and arranged for Hongli to meet Shui Linglong.

"The Emperor might just send someone to pick up Shui Linglong. Why did Your Majesty arrange this? If the Empress Dowager thinks that Your Majesty was the one who instigated this and sent a prostitute to the Emperor, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty."

Zhen Huan sighed and said, "I just want to pass it through my hands. The emperor and Shui Linglong will have some concerns, and Shui Linglong will not sleep with him so soon."
