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

"I am already over 40, and you are only 28. How can you live with me till old age?"

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with interest and asked.

There was a hint of obscurity in her eyes. She wanted to be my husband before, but now she wants to grow old with me.

He looks so similar to Chun Yuan, and Chun Yuan also said similar things to me back then.

There are so many similarities, could it be coincidence?

To be honest, as an emperor he does not believe in such things as coincidences. However, even if the other party has some plans, she is just a woman in the harem and cannot cause any waves.

Since someone has taken the initiative to serve as a prop for him to relive his old dreams, as long as it does not affect the government, he might as well pamper her a little more and treat it as a bargaining chip for her to perform hard.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven shall live as long as the Heaven."

"If you only live a hundred years because of me, it will be my fault."

Zhen Huan half-knelt in front of the emperor and spoke to him in a coquettish tone.

There was an unspeakable love flashing in her eyes. She felt that she had received the love of the best man in the world and she was very happy.

"You do know how to talk."

The emperor's lips curled up into an ambiguous smile, which seemed even more ambiguous under the shade of the red candles, making Zhen Huan's face blush even more.

"Your Majesty thinks I'm stupid for believing such folk sayings."

Zhen Huan lowered her head and dared not look into the emperor's amorous eyes, and naturally missed the flash of inquiry in the emperor's eyes.

"Of course not."

The emperor has no intention of destroying the current good atmosphere.

"Do you really want to grow old with me?"

"There is no woman in the world who would not want to be with her husband, to live together forever."

"But I am only a minor noble lady, and I am nothing in the harem. Naturally, I dare not have such extravagant hopes."

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. Could it be that the other party was simply trying to curry my favor by using this attitude?

If that were the case, and if the other party could play the role of Chun Yuan well, it would not be impossible for him to give her these things.

"is it?"

"Of course, I want to be with Your Majesty until we grow old together, but I am afraid that I am not qualified for it."

Zhen Huan didn't notice the coldness and alienation in the emperor's words at all. Zhen Huan, who was experiencing love for the first time, was already overwhelmed by the emperor's special treatment for her.

No matter what she should or shouldn't say, at such a time, she said everything according to her heart.

She desperately wanted to obtain a promise from the emperor so that she could calm her anxiety and fear that she would one day fall out of favor.

"There's still a long way to go, take your time."

The emperor originally wanted to say what Zhen Huan said, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

For some reason, he now seemed unable to easily make such a promise of staying together to other women, even if it was just in a place like bed.

"Well, I am waiting for the emperor."

Zhen Huan was a little disappointed that she didn't get what she wanted to hear, but she quickly cheered up again.

I have not spent much time with the emperor, so it is normal that the emperor cannot make a promise to me. In the future, the emperor will certainly be willing to say what he did not say today.

Zhen Huan has confidence in herself. She does not think that she is any worse than the favored concubines in the palace, whether it is the proud and willful Concubine Hua, or the cold and pure Xiangpin.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan snuggled up to the emperor, her black hair cascading down on him, looking indescribably beautiful.

next day

Yanxi Palace

"younger sister."

Early in the morning, Shen Meizhuang took the initiative to come to the Yanx Palace. As soon as she entered the room, she saw An Lingrong was dressing up. She immediately felt a little embarrassed, wondering if she had come too early.

But she did not sleep well last night. She had mixed feelings. She was happy that Huan'er had successfully served the emperor, but she was also a little jealous that the emperor treated Huan'er so specially.

Huan'er could go to Tangquan Palace for her first night with the emperor, but she could only follow the rules and go to Yangxin Palace, just like other concubines.

"Sister, I'm here. Please take a seat."

An Lingrong hadn't even combed her hair yet, but she anxiously pushed away the palace maid's hand, stood up and greeted Shen Meizhuang.

Although she had been a little distant from Shen Meizhuang during this period of time, since she had taken the initiative to come to her, she would of course entertain her warmly.

"I wanted to get up early and pay my respects to the Queen, but she was not feeling well and cancelled the visit. I didn't know where to go for a while, so I came here. I hope my sister won't think I came uninvited."

Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong somewhat embarrassedly and explained.

"How could that be? It's my blessing that my sister can come to Yanxi Palace."

An Lingrong said to Shen Meizhuang with a smile.

Looking at the dark circles on Shen Meizhuang's face that couldn't be covered up, he sighed in his heart.

The Yanx Palace and the Xianfu Palace are located in the northwest corner and the southeast corner respectively. It takes at least half an hour to get there.

It can be seen that Shen Meizhuang got up very early. It seems that she must have suffered a whole night last night.

Thinking of this, An Lingrong couldn't help but feel a little worried about her sister.

Normally the emperor dotes on my sister so much, but now he holds Sister Zhen in the palm of his hand. Sister Shen and Sister Zhen are good sisters, so I don’t know how uncomfortable my sister must feel.

"You are finally getting better now. The main hall of Yanxi Palace is much better than the side halls."

Shen Meizhuang seldom came to the Yanx Palace, and when she did, she quickly discovered something different.

An Lingrong looks much better now than when she first entered the palace. Not only does her living place get better, but she also looks more noble, almost like a concubine.

"Sister, you're joking. I'm just lucky. After Concubine Xia moved out, the Emperor saw that I was the only one living in the Yanxi Palace, so he allowed me to move to the main palace. If a new person comes in in the future, I might have to give up my throne."

An Lingrong smiled and looked at Shen Meizhuang and said.

"Yes, there will be new people entering the palace in the future."

Shen Meizhuang was filled with emotion. The women in the harem were like the flowers in the imperial garden. There would always be fresher flowers to attract the emperor's attention. If it wasn't Huan'er, there would be others.

"Sister Zhen went to Tangquan Palace yesterday. I think she has already served him in bed now."

An Lingrong spoke tentatively.

"It's natural."

Shen Meizhuang has not given up on the emperor yet, and her expression was a little unnatural when she mentioned this matter.

It seems that I am jealous, otherwise I wouldn’t have slept well last night.

An Lingrong keenly noticed this emotional fluctuation and couldn't help thinking in her heart.

I have long seen through men. All men in the world are the same. My father is fickle and the emperor is even worse.
