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

"You are too polite, young master."

Suqin said with a smile.

"Huanbi, take this girl downstairs to have some tea. It's so cold and snowy. Thank you for making the trip."

Zhen Huan said to Su Qin with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Wan. I have to go back to Chengqian Palace to serve the young lady. If Concubine Wan has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Suqin knelt down in front of Zhen Huan.

"In that case, Huanbi, please see this girl off."

Zhen Huan said to Huanbi who was standing beside her.

After the two left, Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang with some confusion.

"Why did Sister Mei ask me to take the things down just now?"

"Lady Xiang is indeed a kind person. It is never a bad thing to be able to form good relationships with people in this palace."

"And if you have these silver charcoal, this winter will be a little easier, so I hope you can accept it."

Shen Meizhuang explained to Zhen Huan.

"Sister is right, I think so too."

"No matter what the other party's reason was, he did send me what I needed most right now, so I will naturally remember this favor."

"Adding icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow."

Zhen Huan also nodded in agreement to Shen Meizhuang.

"Sister Zhen, I thought you would need a warm woman in the winter, so I made a warming stove cover for you."

"I don't know if my sister will like it."

An Lingrong took out an exquisite heater cover from her sleeve and handed it to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan took it with both hands, looked carefully at the fine stitching on it, and was quite moved.

"This is made of brocade, right? It would be a shame to use such fine material to make a heater cover."

"It's not a pity. I don't have much, so I can only give you these worthless things. I hope you won't despise them."

An Lingrong pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Zhen Huan embarrassedly and said.

"Of course not. Your craftsmanship is so good, how could I dislike it?"

Zhen Huan held the heater cover in both hands, looking at it with cherishment and said.

"It's almost the end of the year, and the Queen asked me to visit all the palaces, so I'm afraid I have to leave first."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the sky outside and reached out to tuck in the corner of the quilt for Zhen Huan.

"Then I won't disturb you to rest. I'll come and keep you company another day."

Seeing this, An Lingrong also said.

"You are weak and the weather is so cold. You should avoid going out in the future, or you will catch a cold. That would be bad."

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong with concern and said.

An Lingrong was very happy about Zhen Huan's concern.

She replied anxiously, "It's okay, I'll just wear more clothes. I like to come here and keep my sisters company."

"Jinxi, send the two young ladies out."

"Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I am free in the future."

Shen Meizhuang did not forget to show concern before leaving.

"My lady, the medicine is ready."

Huanbi walked in carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Did you send the person out politely just now?"

Zhen Huan asked while stirring with a spoon.

"Don't worry, my lady. I won't let you down on these little things."

Huanbi spoke up.

"That's good."

Zhen Huan drank the medicine in one gulp and felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

"My lady, why did this Xiang Guiren suddenly send something here, and something as precious as silver charcoal?"

Huanbi thought about it and couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe it's just like what Sister Mei said, to make a good relationship."

"Could it be that he wants to form an alliance with the young master?"

Huanbi expressed her thoughts.

"I'm in this state now. Apart from Sister Mei and the others who would come to see me, others might not even bother to enter the door of Sui Yu Xuan. What value do I have in forming an alliance?"

Zhen Huan did not agree with Huanbi's guess. She did not think that such a woman with such an extraordinary temperament would have any bad intentions.

Moreover, in her current state, even if the other party has bad intentions, he will not get anything from her, so why bother to speculate on other people's good intentions with malice?

"That's true. I think Lady Xiang really feels sorry for us, so she wants to help us."

Upon hearing this, Huanbi nodded subconsciously.

That's true. If you want to show off to them, why bother giving them the things they need most?

The best option would be to give them flashy things to show off.

"Don't think too much about it."

Zhen Huan put the bowl in her hand back on the tray.

"Little Master!"

Liu Zhu ran in from outside with brisk steps.

"Why are you so happy?"

Huanbi asked with some curiosity.

"My lady, you don't even know. I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get this month's allowance for our Sui Yu Xuan. Do you know what happened?"

Liu Zhu deliberately kept the secret.

"what happened?"

Zhen Huan asked.

"Yeah, what happened, Liu Zhu, tell me quickly."

Huanbi urged anxiously.

"The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually delivered all the things they owed us this time."

Seeing this, Liu Zhu looked at the two of them and said happily.

"really?"

"Then we at Suiyuxuan won't have to live so frugally."

Huanbi said excitedly.

"Have you asked why this happened?"

Zhen Huan was not as curious as Huanbi. After all, there must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have been warned by someone to do this.

This person shouldn’t be Sister Mei, otherwise she would have said it just now.

Apart from Sister Mei, the only person who could be it could be Concubine Xiang who delivered the gifts today.

"When I left, I was very careful and heard the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs talking about this matter."

"I heard it was the emperor's order, so they honestly gave us the missing items."

Liu Zhu quickly explained.

"emperor?"

Zhen Huan was a little confused. She originally thought it was Concubine Xiang, but she didn't expect it to be the Emperor.

But why did the emperor suddenly remember his concubine who had been bedridden for many days?

"My lady, does this mean that the emperor has always been thinking about you, my lady, so he asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replenish our things?"

When Huanbi heard this, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

"This shouldn't be the case. Why would the Emperor suddenly think of me?"

Moreover, being suddenly cared for by the emperor like this may not necessarily be a good thing. You know, Concubine Hua is not a person who is easy to get along with.

Zhen Huan frowned, feeling somewhat worried.

Yanxi Palace

"My lady, these things were sent by people from Chengqian Palace."

As soon as An Lingrong entered the room, she saw an exquisite thick quilt on the table, and two baskets of silver charcoal piled next to it, the same as Sister Zhen's.
