It must be said that Xiao Yunzi's skills in swinging are among the best. At least Zhen Huan felt very stable when sitting on it.

Liu Zhu pushed her gently. There was an apricot tree next to the swing. It was the apricot blossom season. Zhen Huan looked at the tree full of apricot blossoms and turned to Liu Zhu and said, "Liu Zhu, look, it's perfect to play the song Apricot Blossoms Sky Shadow at this time."

"Yes, then I will gently push you so that I can listen to your song Apricot Blossoms in the Sky again."

"I think the two apricot blossoms over there are pretty nice. Liuzhu, go pick them for me." Zhen Huan pointed in a direction. Liuzhu agreed and ran in the direction Zhen Huan pointed.

As the master and servant were talking, neither of them noticed a bright yellow figure behind them.

Yinzhen shook the beads in his hand twice, signaling Su Peisheng to keep quiet.

Su Peisheng felt a little helpless, but he still lowered his head and took a few steps back, then turned around and waved to signal the others to step back as well.

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully to the sound of the flute.

When the song ended, Yinzhen walked out slowly and said, "Since Queen Chunyuan, I have never heard such a beautiful flute sound."

"I wonder who you are..." Zhen Huan was startled, but she quickly reacted and stood up to greet.

Yinzhen hesitated for a rare moment: "You don't know... me?"

"I have been ill for a long time and seldom go out, so I don't know which prince you are." Zhen Huan said with her eyes downcast.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "I am Prince Guo."

"It seems that the age doesn't match." Even Zhen Huan was a little confused.

"You know that a person's age is often different from his appearance." Yinzhen seemed a little embarrassed for a moment, but quickly smoothed over the words.

Zhen Huan hesitated for a moment, but decided to pay her respects first: "Greetings to His Majesty. I wonder why His Majesty is in the palace at this time?"

Yinzhen looked at the person who looked like Chunyuan in front of him and was very patient: "My brother summoned me to the palace today to learn chess."

Zhen Huan understood that this was not impossible. At this moment, Liu Zhu came back and said, "My lady."

Zhen Huan gestured for her to bow: "Liu Zhu, meet Prince Guo."

Liu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saluted Yinzhen: "This servant pays respects to Prince Guo."

Yinzhen nodded, and then said to Zhen Huan, "I just heard the flute sound a little stagnant when Chang Zai played 'The grass is all over the pond, but I can't go home'. Are you missing home?"

Zhen Huan responded quickly: "Your Majesty knows me?"

Yinzhen choked. He was so happy just now that he forgot to cover up for a moment, but it didn't matter: "I heard my brother mention you. You are the sick Concubine Wan, right?"

"Our young lady is none other than Concubine Wan." Liu Zhu answered the question.

During this meeting, Yinzhen and Zhen Huan had a very pleasant conversation, and they agreed that Yinzhen would bring Zhen Huan the complete score of "Apricot Blossoms and Sparse Shadows" next time.

What they didn't know was that after they left, a figure slowly walked out from the corner. It was Yu Ying'er.

Yu Ying'er stared at their departing backs, gritting her teeth, and almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to pieces.

The palace maid Hua Sui beside her couldn't help but tremble when she saw her like this. Ever since Yu Ying'er was punished by the Queen Mother last time, she became moody. Every time before she was about to strangle her or beat her, Yu Ying'er would be like this.

So the flower spikes cannot not be afraid.

"A pregnant Xia Dongchun is already irritating enough, and now there's a concubine whose origins are unknown." Yu Ying'er just heard Yinzhen addressing Zhen Huan.

Huasui shuddered a little: "My lady...My lady, don't worry. Hasn't the emperor changed his mind recently?"

"What do you know? Ever since what happened last time, I've realized that the emperor's favor is important in this palace, but having an heir is more important." The handkerchief in Yu Ying'er's hand finally couldn't bear the weight and was successfully torn by her. "Look at Xia Dongchun, isn't it because of the baby in her belly that she suddenly became a noble lady from a concubine? The emperor often goes to accompany her without her invitation."

"My young master..." Hua Sui felt scared when she heard her words. This time she was not afraid that she would hit her, but she was afraid that she would be confused for a moment and harm the baby in Xia Dongchun's belly.

By that time, even if Concubine Hua was willing to protect her, the Emperor would probably not let her go.

"If she is an unlucky person, it would be better if she doesn't have the baby in her belly." Yu Ying'er murmured to herself.

Hua Sui was so scared that she almost covered her mouth with her hands. It would be fine if she said this in private, but now in the Imperial Garden, there were so many people around and she might be overheard by a passing palace maid. If someone told the Emperor and the Empress, if something really happened to Xia Dongchun's child in the future, even if it was not Yu Ying'er, everyone would probably suspect her first.

Fortunately, Yu Ying'er still had some sanity left and realized that such words should not be said outside. She stopped talking in time and took Huasui back to Zhongcui Palace.

However, this idea is not only shared by Yu Ying'er, but also by many women in the palace.

For example, Noble Lady Fucha, Concubine Hua...

But soon, another major event happened in the palace, leaving them temporarily unable to care about Xia Dongchun's pregnancy.

Zhen Huan was favored.

Moreover, Yu Ying'er was making things difficult for Zhen Huan in the Imperial Garden and was just seen by Yinzhen.

In just a stick of incense's time, Wan Changzai became Wan Guiren, and Yu Ying'er fell out of favor again.

Not only that, Yinzhen also directly ordered Yu Ying'er to move out of Zhongcui Palace. This move was tantamount to telling everyone: Yu Ying'er might never be able to turn things around.

After all, the emperor now has a new love, so how could he still remember her, a maid from Yimeyuan?

The current Sui Yuxuan is no longer what it used to be. The palace maids from the Imperial Household Department come and go, all of them are here to give rewards to Zhen Huan.

Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong also came. When she saw Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang held her hand and said, "Huan'er, I heard in the palace that you were named a noble lady, and I thought it was a rumor. Now I see it with my own eyes and know it is true. I am really happy for you."

An Lingrong also smiled and said, "Sister Wan may not know, but when Sister Mei heard the news, she was so happy that she almost ran all the way here."

After saying this, An Lingrong subconsciously glanced at the reward behind Zhen Huan, with a hint of envy in her eyes, but she quickly looked away.

"Come in and sit down to talk." Zhen Huan took one of the sisters' hands each, and the three sisters walked into the house arm in arm.

As soon as I entered the house and sat down, Xiao Yunzi came in: "My lord, my lords, Lady Xia is here."

"Noble Lady Xia? She is pregnant, why is she here?" Zhen Huan was a little worried. Xia Dongchun came to her with her child. Sui Yuxuan is quite far from Yanx Palace. What if something happened accidentally?

What's more, she and Xia Dongchun had no contact with each other on a daily basis. How come Xia Dongchun came here out of the blue?

But no matter what, the guests are guests, and since they are here, they cannot be sent back. So Zhen Huan said to Xiao Yunzi, "Go and invite Lady Xia in."
