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

As the sun sets, the sunset glow covers half the sky.

Yongzheng and the empress walked towards Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion together, and a rare feeling of peace and tranquility arose in their hearts.

"Yixiu," Yongzheng suddenly called the queen's maiden name.

The queen was stunned. The emperor hadn't called her like that for many years!

Yongzheng continued, "I am very pleased that you have taken good care of the harem. I have wronged you over the years!"

Today's banquet was very harmonious except for Concubine Hua, who was a discordant factor. He also knew that this banquet was held by An Lingrong to thank the Queen for her help, so he attributed all the credit for the harmony in the harem to the Queen!

The followers following behind him retreated far away at Su Peisheng's signal.

Seeing Yongzheng's expression, the queen's eyes reddened slightly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Yongzheng slowed down his pace and said as he walked, "Today, when I saw Shuhe, I thought of... Honghui." He paused and continued, "Honghui is my first child. I remember when he was just born, he was so small and soft. I held him in my arms and thought, this is my son, my blood flows in him. At that moment, I felt that I had found the purpose of life!"

Regardless of the empress's tears beside him, Yongzheng continued, "I remember that year when I celebrated my birthday, I didn't dare to publicize it, so Honghui hand-painted a picture of a hundred years of longevity. He was only four years old at the time. He worked on it for a month and finally picked out the one he liked best and gave it to me. This picture is still in my imperial study."

The Queen was already weeping uncontrollably, "Honghui, you are the most filial..."

Yongzheng turned to the empress, looked into her eyes, and said solemnly, "I am sorry for him. When he was alive, I didn't spend enough time with him. When he passed away, I didn't have the chance to see him for the last time. I have decided to posthumously confer the title of Prince Duan on him. After I am gone, he will always be by my side."

The Queen tightly grasped Yongzheng's hand, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...it turns out you haven't forgotten our son, Honghui...Honghui..."

After so many years, Yongzheng felt guilty when thinking of his son who died young, and he dared not discuss it with the empress. Over time, this matter gradually became a knot that the two of them could not get around, and today on this quiet and peaceful evening, the knot was slowly untied.

The queen also understood that the emperor had never forgotten their son, but was just homesick and did not dare to reveal his scars.

With their knots untied, the emperor and empress were in a good mood. They strolled together by the Back Lake for a long time before returning to Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion.

In the daylight, after the emperor and empress left, Concubine Hua did not stay for a second and took Cao Qinmo back. Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha exchanged a few words and then returned to the palace.

The remaining ones are Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Jing and the newly appointed Concubine Xin and Princess Heshuo Shuhe.

Shen Meizhuang hugged Princess Shuhe who was drinking mango sago, "Princess, don't drink any more, or you'll have a stomachache!"

Shuhe's face instantly fell: "Then I'll just stop drinking this one, okay?"

Looking at her wrinkled face, Shen Meizhuang immediately compromised: "Okay, Shuhe is the best!"

Concubine Xin watched their interaction, smiled and patted Princess Shuhe on the back, "Sister, don't be fooled by her. She is the best at pretending to be pitiful. Come down quickly and find the wet nurse. Don't tire Concubine Shen."

Shuhe made a face and ran away holding the mango sago.

Only then did they begin to talk seriously.

Concubine Xin bowed to An Lingrong, who was startled and quickly returned the greeting, "Sister, what are you doing? You're really embarrassing me!"

"Sister, you deserve this gift. If it weren't for you, mother and daughter wouldn't have been able to advance today. You've worked so hard today, and this reward should have been yours. But you were snatched away by us, mother and daughter. I really feel so ashamed of you!"

Lady Xin said this sincerely.

"Sister, you are too kind. This is all the emperor's intention. How dare I take credit for it? Besides, the princess is the emperor's daughter and is extremely noble. The emperor naturally loves her!"

"Having said that, she is a princess and will not suffer any grievances in this palace. But now that she has a title, she will be able to marry better in the future."

As a mother, you should always plan for your daughter's future.

Seeing that Concubine Xin was lost in thought, Zhen Huan teased her with a smile, "Shuhe is only three years old, and Sister Xin is already thinking about her marriage. I wonder which family you've chosen?"

Concubine Xin was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing.

An Lingrong remembered something and asked again, "Sister, Sister Jingpin, who won the card game between you and the Queen?"

Shen Meizhuang and Jingpin looked at each other without saying anything. Were they playing cards? It was just about the ways of the world, right?

Looking at their expressions, An Lingrong knew they had lost. She said with a look of dismay, "You two only know how to defeat me. If you have the guts, go and defeat the Queen!"

After hearing this, An Lingrong also felt that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "Well... what do you think of today's food? Which one do you like? I'll make it for you later!"

They still didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.

"Sisters, I, I was wrong..."
