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

"I have been teaching Third Prince to listen to the emperor and try to share his worries in the future."

"After all, Hongshi is the eldest son, so naturally he should take more responsibility."

As usual, Concubine Qi could not understand the annoyance in the emperor's words, and kept chattering about things that offended the emperor's taboos.

The emperor couldn't help but put down the book and looked at Concubine Qi coldly.

"You've almost made Hongshi's ears calloused with your words. Don't you have anything else to say?"

What's more, I have just ascended the throne not long ago, and you and your son have already started to covet your own throne?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Concubine Qi was stunned by the emperor's ruthless words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"You are not young anymore, why are you still wearing such inappropriate clothes?"

The emperor looked Concubine Qi up and down and spoke in a bad tone.

"Isn't it the emperor who likes me to dress like this the most?"

"Your Majesty..."

Concubine Qi became more and more at a loss, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.

But the emperor had praised me for looking good in the past, so I always dress like this.

"This kind of little girl's dress doesn't suit you. Don't dress like this in the future. It makes people laugh at you."

The emperor naturally saw the helplessness in Concubine Qi's eyes, but he was not in a very good mood at the moment. He came to Changchun Palace hoping to find some quiet time, but Concubine Qi always liked to say inappropriate words to upset him.

He actually had some difficulty understanding what was in Concubine Qi's mind. He admitted that he did like Concubine Qi quite a bit, otherwise he would not have allowed the daughter of a minor official to become a concubine and give birth to the emperor's eldest son.

But that was back then. Concubine Qi was pretty and charming when she was young. Although she was not very smart, she was not so stupid.

Now that such a long time has passed, the other people who entered the mansion with her have grown a lot, but she is still as stupid as before, or even worse than before.

The well-educated Hongshi was extremely stupid, and he was restless and unwilling to work hard to study well.

"Your Majesty, do you think that I am old and ugly?"

Concubine Qi pursed her lips. Even though she knew that the emperor's expression was not very good, she should probably not say anything more.

But she still couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, she seemed to have just woken up from the past few years of being pampered.

The emperor today is no longer the Prince Yong of the past, and he will no longer pamper me as much as before.

"I am telling the truth. You are no longer suitable to wear such bright colors at your age. Colors like lake sapphire green are more suitable for your current status."

The emperor looked at Concubine Qi with tears in her eyes, and it seemed as if he had returned to his youth. He sighed imperceptibly and spoke in a slower tone.

"Forget it, go to bed early. I'm going back to the Yangxin Palace."

The emperor withdrew his gaze. He really couldn't stay here any longer.

He was only giving her some face because he thought she had served him for so many years and had given birth to his eldest son.

But if I want to coax the other person like I did before, it is impossible.

It is his hobby to coax people, and no one can force him to do so if he doesn't want to.

"emperor."

When Concubine Qi saw the emperor getting up to leave, she suddenly panicked and wanted to call out to him, but at this time the emperor would no longer stop for her to keep him.

Broken Yuxuan

Zhen Huan was not asleep yet and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and untying her hair.

At this time, she learned from Xiao Yunzi that the emperor finally went to Changchun Palace, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

In all these days, the emperor has only visited Concubine Xiang in Chengqian Palace and her Suiyuxuan.

In addition, Xiangpin was now pregnant and it was impossible for her to serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber. The emperor spent most of his time staying in her Suiyuxuan, which made her inevitably feel a little possessive.

Even though she knew very well that such days would not last long, and even though she knew that the emperor would go to Chengqian Palace no matter what, she still inevitably indulged in such a fantasy of being the only one favored.

But today, the emperor also went to Chengqian Palace, but did not come to Suiyuxuan, but went to Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace.

This completely woke her up from her sweet dream, and made her feel an inevitable sense of loss.

"It has been a long time since Concubine Qi has seen the Emperor."

Zhen Huan said with some sadness.

"Little Master."

Huanbi looked at the young lady with some heartache.

"I can't sleep, I want to play the piano."

Zhen Huan looked at Huanbi's worried eyes, calmed down, and spoke with a smile.

"I will prepare it right away."

Zhen Huan placed her fingers on the strings, and soon a song called Xiang Fei Yuan flowed out from her fingertips involuntarily.

The emperor walked into Suiyuxuan following the sound of the piano, and saw Zhen Huan playing the piano with her eyes lowered.

His heart softened, as Chunyuan had once played the piano and waited for him in the same way.

“You play it really well.”

"Greetings to the Emperor."

Zhen Huan was so frightened that she quickly stood up and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty go to Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace?"

Zhen Huan was a little at a loss, but a hint of joy flashed across her eyes uncontrollably.

"I did go to Changchun Palace, but Concubine Qi was a little noisy, so I heard your Concubine Xiang complaining and came here knowing that you were still awake."

The emperor spoke.

"My concubine."

Zhen Huan lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, but she couldn't help thinking in her heart, could it be that the Emperor came to Sui Yuxuan because Concubine Xiang fell asleep?

But such speculation was soon dispelled by the surprise arrival of the emperor from Changchun Palace.

In the middle of the night, someone was heard knocking anxiously on the door of Shuiyuxuan.

The emperor and Zhen Huan were both awakened by the sound.

"Who is Su Peisheng making such a fuss at the palace gate?"

The emperor said to Su Peisheng impatiently.

"Your Majesty is a palace maid of Xianfu Palace. I heard that Concubine Shen fell into the water."

After Su Peisheng figured out the reason, he quickly replied.

"What? How did Sister Mei fall into the water?"

Zhen Huan didn't care about too much at the moment and asked anxiously.

"Why did Concubine Shen fall into the water when she was fine? What on earth is going on?"

The emperor frowned and stood up, asking Su Peisheng to come in and help him put on his clothes. Since something like this had happened, he had to go and take a look.

"Your Majesty, I will go over too."

Zhen Huan also quickly asked Huanbi to help her put on her clothes.

"There is so much noise tonight, I am worried that it will disturb Xiangpin. Send someone to check if Xiangpin is scared, so that she can stay in the palace without fear."

As the emperor walked out, he did not forget to instruct Su Peisheng.

Xier has been a light sleeper since she became pregnant, and the loud noise might wake Xier up. It would be bad if she got scared.
