Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

After Mei Zhuang discovered the truth about her pregnancy, several people made a plan to turn the danger into safety, but this matter could not be rushed, so they had to wait for the opportunity.

Before the plan was implemented, Wen Yi’s birthday party was coming up a few days later.

The emperor had few children, only two daughters, and among the princesses he loved Princess Wen Yi the most.

So naturally this birthday party will be held in a grand manner.

All the concubines from all the palaces gathered together for this family dinner. Lady Cao, the mother, actually proposed a lottery performance on this important day when she should have been the protagonist.

She was quite generous, Huimin sneered.

Three women make a play, and with so many women in the palace, it's going to be a good show this time.

She acted like this at her daughter's birthday party, so the heroine in the play could only be Concubine Hua.

But I don’t know who will be included this time. It’s not easy to play the supporting female role. It should have been Zhen Huan before, but who knows if it won’t embarrass herself this time?

As expected, at the beginning, Concubine Cao drew the lot and asked the Queen to write a word "longevity".

The queen is best at calligraphy, which is a compliment to her.

Then came several concubines, and Xia Dongchun was actually chosen to write a poem.

She didn't like poetry and books, which made it a bit difficult for her. Fortunately, she had learned some poems from the plum blossom incident, so she could use them.

Although Huimin was worried, fortunately nothing happened and Xia Dongchun managed to fool her.

But next...

Huimin sat in her seat, clenching the handkerchief in her hand, not knowing what was waiting for her next.

She hoped that Concubine Cao could persuade Concubine Hua not to harm her, and that she would think that she was valuable and worthy of being shown kindness.

After waiting for a long time, finally, Concubine Cao grabbed Huimin with her hand.

Lady Cao looked down and then said with a smile:

"Please invite the noble lady to play the zither and perform for everyone."

Huimin breathed a sigh of relief, as Cao Qinmo didn't want to lose the second way.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this character of hers is also good for her.

Fortunately, that's the case.

I have been practicing the guzheng for quite some time, so I am more than capable of playing a tune. Even if I am not outstanding, it is not embarrassing.

The most important thing is to avoid letting the emperor lose face in front of the princes.

"Then I am sorry to show my ugliness."

Huimin also stood up quickly and efficiently.

Seeing Huimin's calm expression and her ready agreement, the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"I would like to dedicate a song called "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" to His Majesty, all the clan members, and my sisters."

Huimin chose the guzheng music she was most familiar with. It takes a thousand days to train troops but only one day to deploy them. This time, it finally came in handy.

She raised her hand and stroked the zither gently. The sound of the zither became crisp and clear. After the song was over, Huimin was quite satisfied with the result and thought her performance was pretty good.

The emperor was satisfied when he saw Huimin's performance and said, "Ms. Xian Guiren, this piece of music is so leisurely and comfortable that it makes people feel as if they are in the scene. Others play it very nervously, but your piece of music has a very good meaning and the feeling of relaxation is just like you."

Huimin smiled modestly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. My performance is too clumsy to be accepted in such an elegant hall."

The emperor laughed and said, "Min'er is modest."

After passing this hurdle, Huimin smiled faintly, retreated to her seat, and waited for the next person to come on stage.

As a minor supporting character, I can finally put my mind at ease.

This time, it seems that the game is still against Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua...

But since it was none of her business, Huimin just sat in her position and didn't care about what was happening below.

So as to avoid getting into trouble.

Next, you finish your performance and I take the stage, playing the two major roles of Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan performed the Jinghong Dance first, and Concubine Hua performed the Loudong Fu later.

One makes the emperor miss Chunyuan, Wanwan is like you. One makes the emperor miss the old love and the many years of companionship.

It’s true... this palace banquet is really interesting.

But... Huimin laughed secretly in her heart.

Prince Guo played the music for Zhen Huan without permission. Didn't he see that the Emperor's expression, which was originally moved, gradually turned stiff?

The fact that Zhen Huan avoided the emperor's favor before was already a thorn in his heart, and Prince Guo's move made the emperor even more uncomfortable.

And Concubine Hua, she is still proud of letting the Tenth Prince speak for her?

You really only see the present and don't think about the future.

The Tenth Prince cheered for Concubine Hua, and the Emperor was no longer afraid of Nian Gengyao joining forces with his younger brother, who came from a high-ranking family, was on good terms with the Eighth and Ninth Princes, and was dissatisfied with him.

The Emperor did not like Zhen Huan's contact with Prince Guo, and he was even more afraid that his favorite ministers, who were too successful, would form a clique with the clan members.

Wouldn't this arouse the emperor's suspicion?

Huimin didn't want to stand out at this family banquet. She was well favored and there was no need for her to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

This is going to be interesting. The emperor may appear happy on the surface, or he may be happy for a while, but he can plan for the long term.

Huimin gently stroked the hairpin on her temples. Things that seemed beautiful might be more dangerous.

This plan will lead to further mistakes if one step is wrong.

Huimin waited for the banquet to end and then went to Shen Meizhuang's residence.

Looking at An Lingrong and Zhen Huan sitting there.

Huimin would not mention the disadvantages she thought of, but would only speak well of Zhen Huan.

"Sister really shined this time. Fortunately, sister's stunning dance broke the Hua Fei's plan."

Huimin sat on the embroidery stool with a smile on her face.

"This time it was thrilling. Without the stunning dance, there would be no Loudongfu. The trick Hua Fei used was... ridiculous. It made her regain her favor."

Shen Meizhuang was furious. Her crisis had not been resolved yet, but her enemy had made a comeback. How could she be happy?

Huimin comforted Shen Meizhuang, acting like a younger sister caring about her elder sister, and said:

"Don't be angry, sister. Concubine Hua is just proud for a moment."

Zhen Huan also spoke:

"Why should we rush? Once she is favored, she will forget herself and show her true colors. Once the fox's tail is exposed, this sister's chance will come."

Shen Meizhuang was stunned, it should be so.

But when Huimin saw that An Lingrong remained silent, she knew that her heart was not in it. She was afraid that the emperor didn't know who she was at the banquet and didn't care about her at all, which made her worried.

I have to pay attention to this later, Huimin thought to herself.

"Sister, after Wen Yi's birthday party, Concubine Hua is in high spirits. This is the best time to take action. You can take the medicine now."

Huimin collected her thoughts and took the opportunity to remind him.

"Yes, Sister Mei, we should strike first now. We are afraid that Concubine Hua will strike first and catch us off guard."

Zhen Huan's idea coincides with Huimin's.

The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

"Then let's go according to plan?"

Shen Meizhuang unknowingly began to like listening to Zhen Huan and Huimin's opinions, and she didn't know when Huimin became one of the people she could trust.

Huimin's opinion also became one of her backbones.

"Don't worry, sister. We must be absolutely sure that nothing goes wrong and we must not lose your favor."

Seeing Meizhuang hesitant, Huimin encouraged her and reassured her with words.

After all, no matter how foolproof the plan is, we should always be prepared for the worst.

Now Shen Meizhuang is also afraid that if something goes wrong, she will fall to the ground and never get up again, and in serious cases, it will implicate the family.

"Don't worry, sister."

Looking at Huimin's calm and powerful eyes, Shen Meizhuang gradually gained strength.

After a while, she made a decision.

"Then let's start as planned."

Under the combination of tension and fear, Shen Meizhuang broke out in a cold sweat.
