The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Cheng Qiangong

"Sister, what do you think of my painting of peach blossoms?"

An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha Zhixi with some anticipation.

"Very good! I thought you were so good at embroidery, so you must be good at painting as well."

Fu Cha Zhixi took the drawing paper handed to him by An Lingrong with a smile, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he smiled and spoke.

"Look, this branch has quite a bit of master style."

Fu Cha Zhixi nodded in agreement and did not hesitate to praise An Lingrong.

This praise is without any exaggeration; An Lingrong is indeed very talented.

"Sister, you're making fun of me. But I've only learned it for a few days. How can it be as good as you say?"

An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha Zhixi a little embarrassedly and said.

Deep down in her heart, she felt inferior because of her humble background and she had little contact with these elegant things, so she didn't think she could learn them well at first.

But with the encouragement of her sister, she took the first step. This was the first complete work she painted under the guidance of her sister in these days.

My sister's teaching method was very special. She didn't start by telling me all those bookish things, but let me choose the thing I liked best.

She chose her favorite peach blossom, and her sister found a picture of peach blossom and asked her to paint according to the picture.

I have done almost nothing these two days. I was just busy painting this picture.

During this time, the Emperor also turned over his own sign and saw that he was trying to imitate the painting. He looked at himself with an extremely surprised look, as if he was seeing himself for the first time.

But after hearing what I said, the emperor seemed very happy. He also told me to learn more from my sister, which would be good for me.

However, she knew these things without the emperor telling her.

"Of course not. I think your painting is better than the master's."

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and continued to encourage.

"You are so smart, but you just didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with these things before. In the future in this palace, if you are willing to try, you will find that these things are not difficult at all."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong with expectation and encouragement in his eyes.

This made An Lingrong feel warm in her heart. Perhaps she could also become a real lady like her sister and Sister Zhen.

"Can I really?"

"Of course, you can do it."

"You didn't know how to play the pipa before, but now you play it really well, don't you?"

Fu Cha Zhixi looked into An Lingrong's eyes very seriously, nodded and said.

"elder sister."

An Lingrong's eyes flashed with excitement and she looked at her sister with gratitude.

She felt that everything in her life got better after she met her sister.

"My queen, it's time to drink the medicine for the pregnancy."

Suqin walked in with a black bowl of medicine and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Why do I need to take medicine again? I'm fine, right?"

Fu Cha Zhixi strongly disagreed with the practice of drinking tonics even when there was nothing wrong in the palace. After all, she always believed that all medicines are poisonous, so why would a healthy person drink it?

"Sister, are you afraid of suffering?"

An Lingrong joked with a smile.

This was the first time she had seen such a childish sister. After all, most of the time her sister behaved very calmly in front of her.

"Who doesn't mind suffering? I just don't like taking medicine for no reason."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the bowl of medicine and felt uneasy. A bad premonition came to her mind, making her reluctant to take the bowl of medicine.

"Put the things down. It's tiring to carry them all the time."

Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but speak to Su Qin.

"Your Highness, I am not tired. This medicine is specially prescribed by Imperial Doctor Lin for you to preserve your pregnancy. If you don't drink it, it will be bad."

Suqin looked at Fucha Zhixi with some concern and said.

"Forget it. Doctor Lin also said that the baby in my belly is fine. If there is no problem, why should I drink bitter medicine every day?"

Fu Cha Zhixi frowned impatiently, took the medicine bowl and poured it into the flowerpot beside him.

"Okay, you can take this bowl away."

Fu Cha Zhixi put the empty bowl back on the tray that Su Qin was holding.

At this time, Fu Cha Zhixi was busy putting the bowl back and did not notice that the poured medicine juice caused slight corrosion when it came into contact with the roots of the orchid.

"Miss."

Suqin held the same attitude as most people of that era, believing that the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by the imperial physician must be taken on time, which would be a guarantee as to whether the child was safe or not.

So he looked at the empty bowl in front of him with some embarrassment, then looked at the empress who looked away, and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, Suqin, if sister really doesn't want to drink, forget it."

Although An Lingrong shared the same idea as Suqin, her sister's mood was more important, so she took the initiative to persuade her.

"My lady, I will leave first."

Facing such a "willful" empress, Suqin could only shake her head helplessly. After kneeling down and bowing, she planned to take the bowl and leave.

"By the way, good Suqin, only you, me and Lingrong know about this matter. No one else should know about it."

Fu Cha Zhixi raised his eyes to look at Su Qin, blinked and said.

"Don't worry, Madam. I won't say much."

Suqin naturally knew why Fucha Zhixi said that. Aunt Fangqiu was not as easy to talk to as her. If Aunt Fangqiu knew about this, she would definitely nag the Empress again.

The Empress has always respected Aunt Fangqiu the most, so most of the time she would choose to listen to Aunt Fangqiu.

"Suqin is the best."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Qin and said with a smile.

"My lady, don't do this next time."

Seeing this, Suqin shook her head helplessly.

"Know it."

Know but don’t do.

"Sister, look at you as a queen, you don't even have this little right anymore."

An Lingrong joked with a smile.

"I can't help it. They all care about me, so this is called pain and happiness."

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly and shook his head.

My sister always has so many witty remarks to make.

An Lingrong was very interested in the slang words spoken by her sister.

However, Suiyuxuan is not as cozy as Chengqian Palace.

When Zhen Huan learned from Doctor Wen that she was poisoned, her face suddenly became very ugly.

Such a sophisticated method of poisoning is not something that ordinary people can do. Only a favorite concubine has the ability to do this.

"It was all because of my carelessness. I will definitely take more precautions in the future. From picking the medicine to boiling it, I will do it myself and will never ask anyone else to do it for me."

Wen Shichu said to Zhen Huan with a grim expression.

"Precautions are for the future, but the most important thing right now is to catch the person who dared to poison me."
