The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

The next day, when An Lingrong woke up, Shen Meizhuang had already gone to Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion.

"Xiao Luzi, Su Ye, let's continue to visit the garden."

This went on for five or six days, and An Lingrong had a great time.

She had already visited most of the Old Summer Palace. When she got tired, she would go fishing, play chess, or take a small boat to the pond to pick lotus flowers and lotus pods.

When Shen Meizhuang and Su Ye found An Lingrong, she was already fast asleep in a small boat not far from the shore, holding a jug of Yuquan wine!

"You fool, what should we do if the young lady falls into the lake?" Shen Meizhuang was frightened and asked sternly to Xiao Luzi who was serving beside her.

"Reporting to Lady Shen, my mistress only said she wanted to take a short rest and did not allow me to follow her. I am guilty. But the rope has always been in my hand." Xiao Luzi quickly knelt down to apologize.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely and the rope was tightly wrapped around his wrist, Shen Meizhuang didn't want to blame him and told him to pull the boat back.

An Lingrong was still drunk and woke up from her daze. She saw two anxious faces and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"News came from the previous dynasty that my uncle has been imprisoned!"

"Uncle, who is it?"

“…” Shen Meizhuang held her forehead with her hand.

"My lady, it's Lord An Bihuai." Su Ye stamped her feet anxiously.

An Lingrong patted her swollen head. How could she have forgotten that such a thing existed?

How was it resolved in the TV series?

Seeing her stunned, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly said to comfort her, "Don't worry, this happened in Jeju. I will write a letter to my father right away, and I will make sure my uncle is safe!"

An Lingrong's mind was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't concentrate on thinking. She said, "Sister, I feel a little dizzy now. Let's go back to the sky first."

As they walked along the road, Shen Meizhuang was a little angry. "Why are you drinking in broad daylight and sleeping on the boat? What if you fall into the lake? I've been busy these days, so no one's taking care of you, right?"

"Sister, you forgot I can swim." An Lingrong could only smile awkwardly, "Besides, I want to experience the feeling of being drunk, unaware of the sky above the water, with a boat full of clear dreams and the stars above!"

"Then you understand?"

"You woke me up before the stars even came out. I didn't realize it!"

On the way back, Shen Meizhuang told An Lingrong the news she had heard.

It turned out that An Lingrong's father An Bihuai and Songyang County Magistrate Jiang Wenqing were escorting military rations to the northwest together. Unexpectedly, they encountered enemy soldiers on the way and the military rations were robbed. Jiang Wenqing fled from the battlefield and took away the remaining military pay. The emperor captured Jiang Wenqing and handed him over to the Jizhou Assistant Commander, Shen Meiyu's father, for trial. An Bihuai was also detained and awaiting trial and conviction.

When it was daylight again, Zhen Huan was already waiting there.

"This matter concerns the previous dynasty. How did you know about it?" An Lingrong washed her face and drank a cup of strong tea before she felt a little more energetic.

Seeing that she looked normal, Shen Meizhuang felt relieved. "It's spread all over the palace!"

Zhen Huan instantly realized something was amiss: "The memorial was just submitted this morning, and it was already circulated by the afternoon. I'm afraid someone is fanning the flames."

"If Sister Mei writes a letter home to Lord Shen, it means that she is colluding with the previous dynasty and attempting to interfere in state affairs. The emperor will be furious. If Sister Mei doesn't help me, we may become estranged." An Lingrong murmured.

Shen Meizhuang was still a little worried, "But your father..."

"My father is a coward, only concerned with self-preservation. He would never dare to get involved with Jiang Wenqing." An Lingrong stopped Shen Meizhuang from speaking. "Sister, you must stay out of this matter and not say a word."

Shen Meizhuang's method seemed to be effective, but it was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst. Not only would she be charged with interfering in state affairs, but Nian Gengyao would also seize the opportunity to sue her severely, and Shen Zishan would also be charged with dereliction of duty.

Zhen Huan continued, "We might as well ask the Queen about this. She wants to win us over, so this is a good opportunity!"

"Sister, would you like to accompany me?" The importance of An Lingrong was not enough for the Queen to go through so much trouble.

Looking at An Lingrong's meaningful smile, Zhen Huan understood what she meant, "Of course."

Shen Meizhuang looked at their expressions and said, "If you go, we will have to side with the Queen!"

Zhen Huan comforted her, "The Queen has spent so much effort on us, it's time to give her some sweet treats. Besides, she wants to use us to deal with Concubine Hua, so we need to stabilize her and not let us be attacked from all sides!"

The two hurried to Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion. Jianqiu was already waiting outside the door. Seeing them, she was not surprised at all. "Greetings to the two young ladies."

Zhen Huan spoke first: "Aunt, please inform me that Miss Wen and I would like to see the Empress."

Jianqiu replied with a smile: "It's really unfortunate that you two ladies came. The Queen is out!"

Zhen Huan asked in confusion, "Shouldn't Your Majesty be taking a nap at this hour?"

Jianqiu looked at An Lingrong behind Zhen Huan and said, "The Queen has gone to the Qinzheng Palace to see the Emperor. The two young ladies have come here in the hot summer, so they must be here for the same thing!"

The Queen wants to make this favor bigger!

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan, who nodded in understanding.

"The Empress got the news so quickly. She knew I was going to see her, so she went to see the Emperor first!" An Lingrong said meaningfully.

"I don't know when the Queen will be back. The two young ladies should go to the side hall to rest first. The tea is ready!" Jianqiu said with a smile.

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong exchanged a glance, realizing that today's events had all been orchestrated by the Empress. She had actually calculated their arrival and even made preparations in advance.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, aunt!" Zhen Huan responded politely.

The two followed Jianqiu to the side hall. After they sat down, the palace maids immediately served them tea and snacks.

Zhen Huan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at An Lingrong.

"Sister, it seems that the news was spread by the Queen." An Lingrong said in a low voice.

Zhen Huan nodded in agreement, "However, since we're here, we can only adapt to the situation."

The two drank tea while waiting for the queen's return.

Before she finished her cup of tea, the queen returned to Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion.

"The Queen Mother, return to the palace." Jiang Fuhai's duck-like voice sounded.

The two of them bowed together, "May the Empress be blessed with good health and happiness."

When the Queen saw the two people who came with her, she knew that her goal had been achieved. She was happy but did not show it on her face. She walked to the seat without looking around and sat down. "Stand up, and take a seat."

The two sat down.
