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

"When I knew I was pregnant with the emperor's child, my first reaction was fear. I was afraid that I would be like those poor women who died giving birth, and that I would lose my life because of this child."

"But I soon found that I was actually happy. I was happy that the emperor and I finally had a child with both of our blood. The joy gradually overwhelmed my fear, and I began to look forward to the arrival of this child."

"Your Majesty is now asking me whether I have you in my heart. I have nothing to say. I love the child in my belly because it is the child of the person I love. If I didn't really like him, I would not be willing to give birth to a child for someone else."

Fu Cha Zhixi spoke slowly and his tone was calm but full of power.

"I never thought you would be so afraid of this."

The emperor had never heard such words from anyone before. He had always believed that all mothers longed to have their own children.

But Xier told him that because the child was his, she loved her and looked forward to the birth of the child.

Such words would have been extremely outrageous in that feudal era, but Yinzhen could sense Fucha Zhixi's sincerity.

"Everyone thinks that all women in the world will love their own children and will be eager to have children, but I am not that kind of person."

"I am afraid of death, or anyone is afraid of death, but there are things that are more important."

A faint smile appeared on Fucha Zhixi's lips, and her peach blossom eyes were filled with gentle green waves, making Yinzhen almost indulge in such tenderness.

Yinzhen felt as if he had obtained something he had always longed for but could not get, something that he could not get when he was young.

Perhaps it was the admiration and pride in the Emperor's eyes when he looked at the Second Prince, or perhaps it was the fact that the Empress Dowager always had a plate of snacks that the Fourteenth Prince's favorite was ready in the palace.

These things were what he had longed for in his heart but had never obtained.

He had never figured out what the missing part was, but now he seemed to understand.

What I want is a preference, a preference that is only for myself.

This preference is not because of one's status or position, but simply because of who one is as a person.

"I."

The emperor looked into Fu Cha Zhixi's eyes and felt his throat become extremely dry for a moment. He was unable to say anything in response to such deep affection.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand everything."

Fu Cha Zhixi placed his hand on the emperor's heart, nodded, and looked at the emperor with gentle yet firm eyes.

"Xie'er."

Yinzhen reached out and hugged the person in his arms, as if he was holding the only treasure in his life. He was very careful yet afraid that the person in his arms would suddenly disappear.

A cozy room.

Fu Cha Zhixi leaned in the emperor's arms, frowning, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised a small arc.

Become!

From then on, the emperor's eyes towards Fucha Zhixi changed, and the interactions between the two became closer and more relaxed than before.

No matter how busy the emperor was with state affairs, he would come to Chengqian Palace once a day, or instruct Su Peisheng to come to Chengqian Palace to inquire about the situation.

Compared to the gifts that were sent before, which seemed extremely expensive but not very thoughtful, the things sent nowadays are often good things that are both valuable and can show the heart's intention.

Even when Zhen Huan was the most favored, the emperor did not forget Fu Cha Zhixi of Chengqian Palace, and even considered a new title for her in his spare time.

As a title, the word "Xiang" is not the best one and is not dignified enough.

He would definitely find a good title for Xier that has a good meaning and shows his feelings.

Falling in love, Yinzhen wanted to give all the good things in the world to Fucha Zhixi.

These actions were much more low-key than the grand gesture of sending gifts to Sui Yuxuan. Almost only the palace servants who served nearby knew that Xiang Guiren, who was low-key, was the woman truly valued by the emperor.

As the number one person in front of the emperor, Su Peisheng could naturally see the clues. He regretted countless times that he made the decision too quickly. He should have waited and seen before suggesting which palace Jinxi should serve.

Yikun Palace

"Your Majesty, please try this chrysanthemum chicken soup. I specially asked the kitchen to cook it for an entire afternoon. I wonder if Your Majesty will like it."

Concubine Hua personally served a bowl of chicken soup and asked Songzhi to bring it over.

"Yes, this chicken soup is quite interesting."

After taking a bite, the emperor looked up at Concubine Hua and said.

"As long as the emperor likes it."

Seeing the satisfaction on the emperor's face, Concubine Hua's smile became more obvious.

I invited the Emperor to come for dinner today, firstly because I hope the Emperor would agree to my adoption of Wen Yi, and secondly because I am a little worried that the Emperor only favors Concubine Wan and forgets about me.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

When Concubine Hua saw that the emperor had almost finished eating, she stood up and knelt in front of him.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Hua who was kneeling in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Get up first."

The emperor took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then spoke nonchalantly.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Since I lost that child, I have been looking forward to having another child with the Emperor, but I have never been able to get pregnant again."

"I heard that if I could adopt a child, I might be able to have a child, and then I could make up for my previous regrets."

In order to get the emperor to agree to her request, Concubine Hua took the initiative to open her own wounds, trying to make the emperor feel more distressed and agree to her request.

After hearing what Concubine Hua said, the emperor couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He didn't expect that Concubine Hua was still obsessed with the child that should not have been born. He originally thought that if it was a girl, since Concubine Hua loved him wholeheartedly, he wouldn't mind her having a child of her own.

But the imperial physician diagnosed that it was a boy, so he could not keep the child.

At that time, although he was still just a prince, the emperor was seriously ill and sent the only one who could compete with him, the fourteenth prince, away. In other words, it was almost certain that he would inherit the throne.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave any hidden dangers for himself in the future when he controls the empire, even if that person is his own son.

Nian Gengyao's arrogance and domineering nature had already begun to show at that time. If there was another prince from the Nian family, the throne would probably no longer belong to their Aisin-Gioro family.
