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

"It's good to be polite, but it would be even better if we could have the best of both worlds."

"As the emperor's concubine, you should follow his wishes. If the emperor is happy, I will be safe."

The Queen looked at Zhen Huan with a magnanimous expression and said.

Naturally, she would not make trouble for Zhen Huan at this time. Firstly, it was because the Emperor was currently focusing on Zhen Huan, and secondly, she wanted Zhen Huan to appear and disrupt the current situation in the harem.

"If we can see the Queen is well every day, it will be a blessing to all the palaces."

Zhen Huan thought very clearly that the current situation in the harem was divided between Concubine Hua and the Queen. Although Concubine Xiang was favored, she was cold and aloof and seldom interacted with other concubines. Naturally, she could not be considered a force to be reckoned with.

She has just entered the emperor's bedchamber and has not yet completely established her foothold in the harem. Although she has won the emperor's special favor, she is still not as powerful as Concubine Hua.

So if she had to choose between Concubine Hua and the Queen, she would rather choose the Queen.

"In fact, based on my sister's appearance and talent, she should have received this favor a long time ago, but there is nothing I can do."

The queen hesitated to speak, but everyone present could hear the hidden meaning in her words.

Zhen Huan's eyes flickered. It seemed that the Queen Mother was really annoyed with Concubine Hua, as she even said such an obvious provocation.

However, she and Hua Fei are both favored concubines, and Hua Fei has such a temper, she and Hua Fei are bound to clash, so she doesn't care too much about what the Queen says now.

"But good things come late. Although it was a little delayed, now we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel."

While the Queen was speaking, her eyes were fixed on the changing expressions on Zhen Huan's face. When she saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, she smiled with satisfaction.

"I really like the fruity scent in the Queen's palace. It is very good and shows how kind and thoughtful the Queen is."

Zhen Huan tried to change the subject by flattering the Queen subtly.

"I have never liked burning incense. I think the scent of powder is too vulgar, so I specially ordered the servants to put fresh fruits in the hall. This way, it has a different flavor."

The Queen smiled and echoed Zhen Huan's words.

Some things just need to be said briefly, there is no need to keep talking.

"Your Majesty has a unique insight, which has greatly benefited me."

Zhen Huan responded with a smile.

After saying a few more meaningless nonsense, the Queen saw that Zhen Huan was not interested and ordered Jianqiu to send the person out.

Cheng Qiangong

The emperor rushed to Chengqian Palace as soon as he returned to the palace.

This was the first time in all these years that he felt the pain of missing someone.

During the days in Tangquan Palace, although Zhen Huan was by her side, she was still worried about Xier and the baby in her belly.

He hasn't been to Chengqian Palace to see her and the child these days, and he doesn't know if the child will feel uncomfortable without hearing him reading to him.

Thinking this way, the emperor no longer had any intention of staying in the Tangquan Palace, and announced his return to the palace almost early in the morning of the third day.

As for the people in Chengqian Palace, when they saw the emperor coming, they no longer showed any major emotional fluctuations.

They would have found it strange if the emperor had not come to Chengqian Palace during that period of time.

At this time, Fu Cha Zhixi was reading the Book of Songs to her unborn child, and happened to read "The peach tree is young and tender, and its flowers are bright and beautiful."

"When a son marries, he should be a good match for his family."

The emperor took over the conversation and said the second half.

"Why are you reading the Book of Songs to your child?"

The emperor has always liked women who are well-versed in poetry and books, and he likes to flirt with his concubines using poetry.

The emperor reached out and took the book from Fucha Zhixi's hand, flipping through it curiously.

"Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings."

Fu Cha Zhixi stood up to pay her respects to the emperor. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, making it a little inconvenient for her to move.

Fortunately, she was just pretending and was stopped by the emperor before she could even stand up.

"I love to recite the Book of Songs, so of course I want to let the baby in my belly listen to it too."

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at the emperor and explained.

"That's natural. Our child will definitely be a studious person."

The emperor felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment as he looked at Fu Cha Zhixi, whose aura had softened.

When I first met Xier, that feeling of coldness and aloofness, as if the goddess of Luo River had descended, has now almost completely disappeared.

The person in front of him was Xiangpin, whom he loved and cared about. She was no longer the goddess who seemed like she would disappear in the next second.

"Isn't the Emperor bathing in Tangquan Palace with Concubine Wan?"

"Why did you return to the palace so soon? Why didn't you take a good rest there?"

Fu Cha Zhixi frowned slightly and looked at the emperor and said vaguely.

"You little girl, why am I returning to the palace so soon? Don't you know why?"

Listening to Fu Cha Zhixi's sour words, the emperor couldn't help but smile and pinched Fu Cha Zhixi's nose, saying lovingly.

"I dare not speculate on the emperor's intentions, so I naturally don't know."

Fu Cha Zhixi pursed her lips and said in a neutral tone.

"I really don't know. If I really don't know, then I will leave."

"I haven't seen Concubine Hua for a long time. Concubine Wan is also waiting for me in Suiyuxuan. Which palace should I go to?"

The emperor stood up on his own initiative with his smile still on his face, his tone full of teasing.

"Your Majesty, how can I stop you from going wherever you want to go?"

"So I'm really leaving?"

The emperor asked tentatively.

Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, he raised his eyebrows and was about to get up and leave, but found that his belt was pulled by a pair of snow-white hands.

But the owner of this hand still turned his head away, unwilling to look at himself directly.

Such a contrast made the anger that had just risen in his heart disappear instantly, leaving only helplessness.

"You, you are the only one in this palace who likes to act like this."

The emperor shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I."

Fu Cha Zhixi suddenly felt as if the baby in her belly kicked her, which made her a little overwhelmed.

This is the first time she has been a mother in her past and present lives. This experience makes her feel novel but also a little worried.

"what happened?"

The emperor listened to Fu Cha Zhixi's obviously panicked voice and immediately became nervous.

"Su Peisheng, go call the imperial physician."

Fu Cha Zhixi originally wanted to stop the emperor's actions, but because she was worried about the child's condition, she did not say it.

After the imperial physician was brought over, he saw that Fu Cha Zhixi had a ruddy complexion and did not seem to be in any serious condition, so he could not help but ask.

"My lady, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"I just felt a stomachache and was worried about the baby in my belly, so I troubled Doctor Lin to come and take a look at me."

Doctor Lin carefully felt the patient's pulse and spoke after a moment's silence.
