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

"In that case, I'll do as you say."

"If you want to eat pot in the future, just ask the imperial kitchen to send it to you."

The emperor said to Fucha Zhixi with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is different."

Fu Cha Zhixi put down his chopsticks and looked at the emperor very seriously.

"Why is it different?"

Yinzhen looked at Fucha Zhixi's face through the mist with some confusion.

"With His Majesty here, this pot tastes better. Without His Majesty here, I don't want to eat the pot alone."

Fu Cha Zhixi pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly.

Of course, what she said had two meanings. One was that the food prepared by Pangju in the imperial kitchen was more exquisite, and the other was that the emperor could only enjoy his meal when she was around.

But it seems that Fat Orange should have understood the second meaning.

"How squeamish."

The emperor looked at Fucha Zhixi unhappily, and then said helplessly.

"If you want to eat hotpot in the future, send someone to call me. If I am free, I will come and eat with you. Is that okay?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as a whip. Your Majesty, I have remembered everything you said, and these servants have also heard it. Your Majesty, you must not deny it when the time comes."

Fucha Zhixi blinked and looked at the emperor and said.

"I am the Son of Heaven, so I will not play dirty tricks with a little girl like you."

"I know that the emperor is the best."

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at the emperor in a cute way.

"You."

The emperor smiled helplessly and shook his head.

It's another dark spring night, and the petals are wet with dew.

Gyeongin Palace

"Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder now. This is the pandan bird's nest that I personally cooked. It nourishes the heart and lungs and is most suitable for drinking in this season."

The queen placed the bird's nest in her hand next to the emperor with a smile on her face.

The emperor picked up the spoon, took a sip, and said casually.

"The Queen is interested."

But his eyes were fixed on the pages of the book in front of him, and he didn't even look at the queen.

This made the queen, who was originally full of expectations, feel a little disappointed, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

Jianqiu, who was serving on the side, couldn't help but feel sorry for the empress when she saw this scene.

The Queen obviously loves the Emperor so much, but why can't the Emperor see the Queen's love?

"I have asked Jiang Fuhai to report Fuzi's matter to His Majesty."

Having said this, the queen pretended to sigh.

"Jealousy is common in the harem, but this involves human life. I am not good at controlling my subordinates. I hope Your Majesty will give me some instructions."

"I understand what you mean. Jealousy in the harem is inevitable, but this is also because they have me in their hearts. I really can't bear to blame them."

The emperor nonchalantly stirred the bird's nest in the bowl with a spoon and looked at the queen calmly.

He didn't quite understand why there was any need to continue talking about such an obvious thing.

Sometimes no answer is the best answer.

Doesn’t he know that it was Concubine Hua who killed the person?

But now he needs Nian Gengyao, so it is impossible for him to punish Concubine Hua for such a thing.

What's more, Hua Fei's heart and eyes were indeed filled with him, so it was normal for her to do such a thing out of jealousy. He also didn't have the heart to blame such a woman who loved him so deeply.

What's more, because of that incident, he has always felt guilty towards Concubine Hua.

"I know that the affairs of the harem are complicated, and it is understandable that the queen did not handle them properly."

"This bird's nest nourishes the lungs. The weather is very cold, and the Queen should eat more tonic food."

Seeing that the queen looked unhappy, the emperor frowned slightly and scooped a spoonful of bird's nest into the queen's mouth.

The queen originally wanted to say something, but she saw the emperor feeding her on his own initiative.

In an instant, surprise filled her mind, and she couldn't even think of what to say next.

It had been a long time since she had received such active approach from the emperor, which made her originally dead heart suddenly come alive.

Even though she knew in her heart that the emperor did this so that she would stop caring about the matter, she was happy to do so.

Even if the emperor fed her poison wrapped in honey, she would be willing to eat it.

"The weather has been getting colder these days, with constant frost and snow. I see that Lady Xiang is in a weak state. If she catches a cold by accident, I don't know how long she will have to stay in bed."

The emperor looked at the snow falling outside again and couldn't help but speak.

The queen was still immersed in the rare closeness of the emperor, but the emperor's next words immediately made her sober up.

She pulled the corners of her mouth, and used her ability, which had secured her the position of queen for many years, to show a kind smile as best she could.

"Lady Xiang is indeed not in good health, and I am deeply distressed."

"Besides, it has indeed become increasingly cold these days, so why not let Xiang Guiren exempt herself from paying respects these few days?"

The queen naturally understood what the emperor meant. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said what the emperor wanted to hear.

"The queen is kind and benevolent to me. I feel relieved to have you help me manage the harem."

As the emperor spoke, he reached out and patted the back of the queen's hand to show his praise.

"This is what I should do. I don't deserve such praise from the emperor."

The queen gave a shy smile.

The emperor suddenly felt that he seemed to have rarely thought of Chun Yuan in recent times. He didn't know whether he was guilty or remorseful. He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another concubine named Wan in his harem who looked similar to Chun Yuan.

Maybe it's just because I haven't seen Chunyuan for too long that's why I feel like this.

The emperor was somewhat reluctant to admit that he had forgotten Chun Yuan. He tried hard to prove that the person he loved in his heart was still Chun Yuan.

"Oh, by the way, if I remember correctly, this Concubine Wan has been ill for such a long time, why hasn't she recovered yet?"

"Oh, the doctor Wen who takes care of Concubine Wan has always been very good at medicine, but this disease came like a mountain falling, and went away like a thread."

"This Wan Changzai is a weak woman. I'm afraid she won't recover so quickly. She will need more time to recover slowly."

When the queen heard the three words "Wan Changzai", she was in a trance for a moment.

The emperor had only met her once, but he still remembers her till now.

Sister, will the emperor never forget you in his life?

Originally, the Queen was a little nervous because the Emperor mentioned Concubine Xiang, worried that the Emperor really cared about Concubine Xiang.

But now it seems that the emperor only cares about his sister.

Even Concubine Wan, who was somewhat similar to her sister, was able to leave a mark in the emperor's heart.

Yixiu felt like her heart was being fried on fire. She was saddened to find that even though she was the only wife who accompanied the emperor, the emperor still cared about his sister.

It seemed that she would never be able to surpass her sister in the position in the emperor's heart.

"In that case, let her take care of it in peace."
