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

【Palace of Heavenly Purity】

The Qianqing Palace is the inner central hall, and at this time it is very bright with many candlelights.

Liu Hua felt a little uneasy because her seat was on the left, and Jingpin was on the right.

It is the Qing Dynasty now, but the left is respected and the right is humble.

Liu Hua raised the gilded wine cup and toasted to Concubine Jing opposite him from afar, and the two smiled at each other.

They shared the glass of lamb wine together. Liu Hua drank it and found it extremely spicy yet sweet.

Concubine Hua, who was sitting two seats above her, smiled at Liu Hua and said, "Princess Xuan, you shouldn't drink too much of this wine. This wine was specially sent as tribute by my brother from Ningxia. It's very strong."

After Hua Fei finished speaking, she asked Song Zhi to pour a large cup and drink it in one gulp.

Liu Hua could only exclaim "tsk tsk tsk". Concubine Hua was indeed the daughter of a general.

Liu Hua only said it in his heart, but Ning Changzai next to him said it openly.

"I see that Concubine Hua is so generous and forthright. She is truly a heroine."

Concubine Hua used her armor to fiddle with the golden hairpin on her head, her eyes narrowed, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Concubine Ning is so sweet. Didn't you say you wanted to dance for the emperor? What are you still standing there for? Go quickly."

Only then did Liu Hua understand that Ning Changzai seemed like a transparent person in the harem.

Praising Concubine Hua was for the opportunity to dance in front of Yinzhen.

Liu Hua did not reject this kind of flattery, because what she said to Concubine Li was even more powerful than what Lingfeng said to Concubine Hua today.

I just secretly look forward to seeing Lingfeng holding a knife and performing the unique Korean knife dance, and I wonder what it would look like.

Lingfeng stood in the middle wearing a light pink dance costume and took out two sharp iron knives that were emitting a cold glow from behind.

The imperial guards were already ready, but Yinzhen just waved his hand lightly.

The guards slowly retreated, and Yinzhen stared at Lingfeng with interest.

Special music sounded, the drum beats rose and fell, and Lingfeng began to spin and wave two knives in his hands.

At this moment, Liu Hua could only think of his graceful steps, like a startled wild goose.

The whole world was silent for a while, and Yinzhen started applauding first, followed by the concubines and ministers.

Yinzhen praised sincerely:

"I thought the world was colorless, but when I look back I see catkins drifting in the wind."

Liu Hua tilted his head to look at Lingfeng below. Under the candlelight, the light pink clothes had turned milky white.

"Spiritual wind, the wind should have spirit, taking us on a journey through the world."

Lingfeng somehow remembered the general's words.

It’s a pity that we are now far apart.

Yinzhen looked at Lingfeng and said, "You are a princess from Korea, and you came to the Qing Dynasty alone.

I am very pleased. The position of Changzai is a little too low.

Why not confer the title of noble upon you?

It can be considered as inheriting the Korean custom of offering beauties as tribute to the Ming Dynasty."

Some of the concubines under him did not know history, so they did not understand the profound meaning of Yinzhen.

But the ministers were extremely happy and congratulated Yinzhen again and again, saying:

"The world is unified."

"Eternal unification."

Concubine Hua no longer had any favorable impression of Ling Feng and just shook her head in disdain.

Nian Gengyao promptly congratulated him, saying, "I wish Your Majesty peace and prosperity. If war breaks out, I am willing to serve as your vanguard."

He kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen feel happy.

After all, Nian Gengyao has always been arrogant, but he has become more and more aware of the rules recently.

This is also the reason why Yinzhen was particularly tolerant of Concubine Hua.

But he still didn't let down his guard.

Zhen Huan, who was sitting below, watched Concubine Hua toasting Yinzhen, and felt lonely and resentful.

She knew that it would take a long time to avenge this, but she would never give up.

Shen Meizhuang noticed Zhen Huan's depressed mood, and reached out a hand to secretly hold Zhen Huan's fingers under the tablecloth.

Liu Hua ate another plate of braised beef liver with cured meat, and this time he was not wearing colorful clothes, but colorful summer, winter and spring.

She jumped out of her seat and said to Yinzhen, "I want to dance too."

Liu Hua looked carefully at Xia Dongchun's strange makeup, and seeing Yinzhen's somewhat gloomy eyes, he secretly worried for her.

Concubine Hua was very interested and said to Yinzhen, "Xia Changzai is so enthusiastic, let her dance."

Before waiting for Yinzhen's consent, Xia Dongchun took out a soft sword from under the table.

Looking at the frightened expressions of the crowd and the eagerness of the imperial guards.

Xia Dongchun was not afraid at all, but instead seemed a little proud, which made Liu Hua puzzled.

He said proudly: "This sword is unconsecrated."

Xia Dongchun danced gracefully. Amidst the flashing swords and shadows, her colorful dress made her look quite heroic.

After the dance, she said to Yinzhen without thinking: "Ning Changzai was given the title of noble lady, so I want to be given the title of noble lady too."

Yinzhen looked at Xia Dongchun speechlessly and said, "I understand. We'll discuss this later."

Liu Hua almost laughed out loud. Xia Dongchun's action was just like a child saying, "She has candy, and I want some too."

Xia Dongchun walked back to his original position with an unhappy look on his face, and got angry at the dumplings in the bowl.

But she was born into a military family, and the nanny assigned to her by Concubine Hua did not teach her the proper manners.

This caused Xia Dongchun to push the dumplings off the table, and they rolled onto Zhen Huan's shoes.

Huanbi's surprised voice rang out: "Oh, Xia Changzai, how could you dirty my sister's Shu brocade jade shoes."

Liu Hua took a closer look and found that it was the Shu brocade with gold and hollow patterns that took ten embroiderers three months to embroider.

Xia Dongchun was a little indignant, but more than a year of cold service in the palace had smoothed out her edges.

He said in a muffled voice, "My dear Wan, I'm sorry!"

Liu Hua really didn't expect Sister Siji to apologize, but her next move really surprised her.

Concubine Hua thought she had found Zhen Huan's fault and immediately started to fire:

"Lady Wan, the war in the northwest is getting intense, and the palace has cut back on spending.

Didn’t you say last time that using screens could save candles? Why are you wearing these shoes today?

Zhen Huan confidently raised her head and looked at Concubine Hua with a gentle smile, saying, "These Shu brocade jade shoes are a gift from the Emperor. How dare I refuse? Besides, I am wearing them today to express my gratitude for the Emperor's great grace."

Concubine Qi said disdainfully: "The emperor's grace is great, but it is not something to be flaunted like this. It's as if it doesn't exist. Back then, when I was in the palace..."

Before Concubine Qi finished speaking, she suddenly looked at the lake blue dress on her body and fell into deep thought.

My hand unconsciously touched the lining inside, which was a pink shirt.

Zhen Huan said to Concubine Qi, or rather to everyone, "I am pregnant."

Hua Fei was stunned for a moment, with a look of resentment in her eyes. She sat down and stabbed the pickled fish on the table hard.

Concubine Duan on the left looked at Liu Hua and said, "Noble Lady Wan is already pregnant, so why isn't Concubine Xuan, who is even more favored by the Emperor, pregnant yet?

You two entered the palace together, and Concubine Xuan is one year older than Concubine Wan.

Liu Hua now felt that Concubine Duan was just like the pickled fish, sour, vegetable and redundant.

You are not pregnant, don’t you know it?

However, Liu Hua still knelt down hypocritically and said: "I am at fault for not being able to bear a heir for the Emperor. However, I will do my best to raise the Fourth Prince."

Liu Hua waited until Yinzhen was somewhat disappointed and said, "It's okay, Xuan'er, you are still young."

He immediately stood up, thinking happily in his heart: "Whoever wants to give birth can give birth. Giving birth in the Qing Dynasty was extremely risky."

Concubine Duan looked at Liu Hua with a guilty look on her face, but her eyes looked indifferent.

She speculated in her heart: "Could it be that I guessed wrong, and it wasn't the Queen who made Concubine Xuan unable to get pregnant?"

Prince Guo clapped his hands and said, "Then I, your humble servant, congratulate you, my brother."
