Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

"Your Majesty, I also thought that Concubine Hui was not such a person. After being confined, she did not make any noise, but only quietly and carefully repented.

Sometimes I would cry until dawn because of worrying and lose my appetite.

The candles that the servants in the Imperial Household Department brought her were those that the servants did not use.”

Yinzhen recalled Shen Meizhuang, the elegant, dignified, graceful and calm lady from a noble family.

But Concubine Hua, who was standing next to him, took Yinzhen's hand and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you have been busy with the epidemic these days and have not come to see me for a long time."

Yinzhen rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Concubine Jing to take good care of Concubine Hui.

She hasn't recovered from her illness yet. I'll visit her there again later when the weather is nice."

Liu Hua had already finished the entire plate of coconut cream that Yixiu had specially prepared for her.

Yixiu thoughtfully instructed Jianqiu to serve another plate of preserved fruits.

Yixiu saw that the time had come and did not want the noise from the crowd to delay her from worshiping Buddha.

After all, in this deep palace, she slaughtered so many people who stood in her way.

She must be feeling uneasy, and can only console herself by praying that the Buddha can come and bless her.

Of course, she also hoped that the Buddha would give her a son so that her eldest brother would return to her.

As for her husband's favor, she is old and ugly, and can't compete with a new woman.

Yixiu's eyes silently glanced at the radiant Concubine Hua.

"Xuanpin, why do you like sweet things so much?

Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

Yinzhen stopped at Liu Hua and said with concern: "Being able to eat is a blessing, but you must eat well and not overeat."

Concubine Hua said in time: "Sister Xuan, I have some excellent medicinal soup here. You can use it to rinse your mouth when you are free.

Not only does it protect your teeth, it also cleans them.

Look at my teeth, they are so white that they almost shine."

Liu Hua nodded in agreement, which brought today's performance to a tentative end that was not very good, but on the surface showed the deep sisterly love.

Shoukang Palace

Wuya Chengbi slowly turned the twenty-seven-bead Buddhist rosary made of red sandalwood.

Shen Meizhuang was quietly copying the Heart Sutra nearby when Wu Ya Chengbi coughed slightly.

Before Liu Hua could react, Shen Meizhuang immediately stood up and brought a bowl of medicine to Wu Ya Chengbi.

Shen Meizhuang subconsciously handed the bowl to Liu Hua, who presented it to Wu Ya Chengbi.

"Okay." Wuya Chengbi said with relief.

"It's rare that you two are so in sync. Unlike the people in the harem, you're not jealous of each other, but instead you all crowd into my Buddhist temple."

Then he looked at Liu Hua and said, "You finished the cakes that Zhuxi served you so quickly.

If you are bored, take a look at the storybooks you brought with you.

This Heart Sutra of mine should be copied for those who have emotional problems. Since you have a lively mind and are free from worries, you naturally don't need to worry about it."

Then his gaze slowly turned to Shen Meizhuang who was copying hard again.

Shen Meizhuang noticed Wuya Chengbi's gaze, raised her eyes slightly, looked at the Queen Mother respectfully and said, "I understand your intention, Queen Mother. Thank you for your concern."

Wuya Chengbi nodded in satisfaction.

"When I was selecting the candidates that day, I saw that you were dignified and generous, and you also knew the 'Rules for Women' and the 'Instructions for Women'.

After entering the palace, she was very much favored by the emperor and also knew how to manage the household.

It's normal to feel a little unhappy about being falsely accused, but you are the emperor's concubine after all."

"You have to keep in mind how you will conduct yourself in the harem and how your family might be mistreated.

Now that you've entered the palace, you might as well relax. Isn't this what the Buddhist scriptures say?"

“Okay, thank you, Queen Mother.

However, I think what the Tang Dynasty monk Huineng said is right.

Originally there was nothing, so how could dust stain it?

This last sentence made Wuya Chengbi speechless.

She looked at Liu Hua meaningfully and said, "An Changzai, life with you is pretty good."

Liu Hua also realized it and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Arong is cheerful every day, mixing incense and reading books, and she makes some medicinal food for me at that time."

Shen Meizhuang's hand, which was copying Buddhist scriptures, suddenly stopped.

The ink contaminated the rice paper.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction.

"Noble Hui, look forward. I will give you the Buddhist beads I have worn for over ten years."

Liu Hua carefully looked at the scene in front of him.

I thought to myself, "Could this Buddhist rosary have the same meaning as the golden hairpin of the two immortals of harmony and unity?"

Indeed, everything Wuya Chenbi gave had a meaning.

Wuya Chengbi said, "This Buddhist rosary was once worn by the Empress Dowager Tongjia, the Emperor's adoptive mother.

This was something that Empress Dowager Tongjia specifically requested because the emperor was ill.

Just right for you."

Shen Meizhuang was holding the string of Buddhist beads and walking through the dark palace corridor. The eunuch in front of her was holding two palace lanterns.

The candles in the palace lanterns were thick and red, without any smoky smell, and gave off a very pleasant lavender scent.

It was specially sent to Shen Meizhuang by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In just four or five days, the Cunju Hall where Shen Meizhuang lived was already filled with things.

It’s not like when we were in the Old Summer Palace, when both candles had to be carefully struck and lit.

But the light from the luxurious palace lantern could not illuminate the darkness in her heart, and tears streamed down her face.

I thought to myself, "I am nothing more than a poem by Lao Huineng. I want to let go of my obsessions and pursue inner freedom and peace. Is that not possible?"

But she also understood: "If I really don't care, Huan'er will not only fight with Concubine Hua, but also have a bad relationship with Noble Lady Fucha.

Huan'er was so kind to me that she risked her life to help me clear my name.

How could I, Shen Meizhuang, let my Huan'er be unable to handle the whole situation alone?"

Shen Meizhuang's mind flashed with the Hetian jade bracelet that she had hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe.

Yonghe Palace

An Lingrong and Liu Hua were scalding a pot. An Lingrong saw that Liu Hua looked tired and had no energy.

I wanted to tell her some things about the palace.

"Sister, Concubine Hui is looking for a bracelet in the Imperial Garden in the middle of winter.

My hands are red from the cold, and the emperor is heartbroken when he sees them."
