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

The fifth day of the eighth lunar month is White Dew, and the main sacrifice is held.

The autumn sun was a bit dazzling, and the area around the main hall was lined with sycamore trees.

The golden leaves complement the plaque with the words "Hongci Yonghu".

In front of the hall gate are two glazed archways, each with a pair of huabiao.

Liu Hua enjoyed special treatment and was supported by someone to witness the entire sacrificial ceremony.

Wherever he looked, he found that Nian Shilan was wearing the clothes of a noble concubine, while Zhen Huan was still only wearing the auspicious clothes of a concubine.

Yinzhen and Yixiu on the high platform drank the same cup of wine, and then paid homage together with the ministers of the outer court under the order of the inner court.

The autumn sunshine shone on the two of them, making their bright yellow clothes even more dazzling.

The premise is that Liu Hua has to ignore it, and Concubine Hua's eyes are filled with envy and unwillingness.

Zhen Huan, who is usually cautious, was so obviously depressed today that Liu Hua easily noticed it.

After the boring ceremony, it was time for today’s lunch.

Prince Guo was the first to raise his glass to Yinzhen and congratulated him, saying, "My royal brother is the man of destiny. Otherwise, how could the Qing Dynasty prosper and win every battle?"

Prince Dun, who was second from the left, snorted disdainfully, which was noticed by Yinzhen.

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and took a sip of the fine Yuquan wine.

"Tenth brother, what are your thoughts on General Nian's efforts to quell the Tusi rebellion in the southwest?

Just as Prince Dun was about to say something veiled in sarcasm, his wife quickly spoke up, "Please calm down, my royal brother. You know the temper of my tenth son.

After drinking this wine, he started to talk and act rashly. But that wasn't his original intention.

Prince Dun glanced at his wife and was shocked by her eyes.

The coward kept silent and just drank in silence.

Fang Chunyi said to Zhen Huan heartlessly, "Look, Sister Wan, Prince Dun is afraid of his wife!"

Zhen Huan looked at Yinzhen, who was sitting at the top of the table and drinking with Concubine Hua, and felt a surge of loneliness in her heart.

His lips moved slightly, and he unconsciously said: "This is a real couple."

Huanbi, who was standing by, looked at Zhen Huan like this and complained in her heart, "Eldest sister is really something. She is pregnant, but she doesn't recommend herself to the emperor.

I don’t know what kind of seductive tricks An Lingrong used, but she was made a noble lady after just one night of sleeping with him.

I thought that I could be on equal footing with her during this grand ceremony of enthroning the six concubines, but I didn't expect the result.

Look, I recognize Concubine Qian, she's her biological sister."

Wuya Chengbi looked at Liu Hua, who was eating bird's nest and smoked duck shreds, and asked kindly, "Concubine Qian, is this pregnancy going well?"

Liu Hua put down his silver chopsticks and wanted to salute immediately, but Zhu Xi beside him stopped him and hurriedly followed up.

Then she replied clearly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician and Aunt Zhuxi both said that the pregnancy is going well."

Wuya Chengbi said with satisfaction, "The Qing Dynasty has almost been freed from war, and the palace should have more princes."

Yixiu, who was feeding Yinzhen sobering soup, stabbed Nian Shilan in the heart with a sword.

"What the Empress Dowager said is that in the royal family, offspring are the most important.

Concubine Qian has only been in the palace for two years, but she has been made a concubine because she gave birth to and raised the prince. Concubine Nian needs to work harder.

Anger flashed across Nian Shilan's face, followed by disappointment, but she had her pride and finally snorted coldly.

She mocked Yixiu, "Empress, you should think about how to give birth to a prince. After all, I'm still young, and it's normal for me to not recover from a miscarriage for two years."

When Nian Shilan mentioned "miscarriage", she glared at Concubine Duan who was coughing.

Yixiu turned to Liu Hua and said warmly, "I am the Queen! The children of my sisters are my children."

Yixiu's lips moved slightly but no sound was uttered, but Liu Hua understood what she was going to say next because it was taboo.

"No matter which prince inherits the throne, I am the Queen Mother, and you are all just concubines."

Wuya Chengbi did not take Yixiu's words lightly, but said seriously: "It is important that the Queen has this intention, but she must also put it into practice.

Take good care of the princes and princesses in the harem, and don't let miscarriage or premature death happen again."

Then he rubbed his fingers unconsciously on the Gannan Eighteen-Character Buddhist Beads Bracelet, praying in his heart that nothing more would happen.

Yixiu replied respectfully, "Yes, Empress Dowager. Your daughter-in-law will listen to your instructions."

But in her heart she was thinking: "If Concubine Qian gives birth to a prince.

I will consider supporting him to become the emperor, and other things should not be an obstacle."

Zhen Huan drank a bowl of ham soup and then vomited.

The sour and foul smell made the concubines beside her frown. Yixiu ordered, "Jianqiu, why don't you help Wanpin to the side hall to rest?"

Nian Shilan said sarcastically, "Have a few more people to keep a close watch on it. Don't let any more butterflies appear in Jingren Palace."

The dancer has a slender waist and dances through the songs.

Zhang Tingyu stood up and toasted Yinzhen, probing him: "General Nian has made such great contributions in the southwest. I wonder how the emperor will reward him."

When Nian Shilan heard the word "reward", a sweet smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan, whose face was still as beautiful as ever despite having been with him for many years.

He announced loudly: "I want to reward him well. Why not confer the title of First-Class Duke on Nian Gengyao?

As for the previous first-class male hereditary position, it was inherited by the second son Nianfu.

Also, Noble Concubine Nian's father is already a first-class duke, and I will give him the title of Grand Tutor."

Liu Hua once advised Nian Shilan to be cautious, but today Yinzhen was so caring in such public.

Nian Shilan, who had been neglected a lot, thought that she had regained favor and actually shed tears.

Then, she looked at the place where Zhen Huan left and smiled triumphantly, then immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace, but I have something to report."

Liu Hua noticed that Yinzhen's brows were slightly furrowed and he looked a little impatient.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he still walked down himself, helped Hua Fei up with both hands, and said gently: "If there is anything, just tell me directly. We have been husband and wife for many years and have a deep love for each other. You don't have to do this."

Liu Hua now knows that there is no solution for Nian Shilan, and he has reminded her many times through Qin Yun, both openly and secretly.

She was still so easily deceived by Yinzhen, and the young woman holding the lily of the valley flower unconsciously appeared in Liu Hua's mind.

Nian Shilan's tears fell on Yinzhen's hands, and Yinzhen picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped them for her.

Nian Shilan choked up and said, "The grievances I've suffered these days are nothing. What's important is to bring justice to the world.

In short, I want to report Wanpin's father for marrying the daughter of a traitor. His crime is unforgivable!"

Huanbi stood up hurriedly, attracting everyone's attention.

Liu Hua sat opposite her and noticed that her lips and legs were trembling.

Huanbi knelt down, stared at Nian Shilan, and shouted, "Empress Nian, why are you going to burn your bridges again?"
