The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"Su Peisheng, please prepare the Suiyuxuan. I'm going to see Concubine Wan!"

The emperor was undecided about the candidate for Prince Guo's wife, but at this time, Zhen Yurao, who looked like Empress Chunyuan, made the emperor feel uneasy.

At this time, Yu Rao and Yu Xuan had returned to Sui Yu Xuan, holding Hong Zhan and playing together. They were laughing very happily. It had been a long time since they had seen such a heartwarming scene.

Concubine Wan was very happy that the two of them could come, and she asked Liuzhu to prepare the candied fruits and melons that they both liked to eat. Everyone was very happy.

"Yuyun, I wonder how my father and mother are doing recently? I am really worried about them!" A look of worry appeared on Concubine Wan's beautiful face, and she asked Yuyun softly.

Meanwhile, the lively and lovely Yu Rao was happily holding the young Hong Zhan, playing and frolicking beside them. The little fellow was laughing and waving his hands in the air, as if trying to catch something interesting.

Standing nearby, Jinxi smiled and quietly watched this heartwarming and joyful scene. Whenever she saw Hongzhan's innocent smile or heard his clear and sweet laughter, Jinxi couldn't help but laugh along.

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with laughter.

"Don't worry, elder sister. Father and mother have always been in good health. You don't have to worry." Yu Yu said worriedly.

"Yuyu, you seem to be worried. What's wrong?"

"Eldest sister, Yuyu has something to ask for your help."

"Looking at your expression, I guess it must be about Prince Guo?"

"Nothing can be hidden from you, elder sister. Yuyu has long been in love with the prince, but in the past, due to her status, she did not dare to harbor any feelings towards him. Now, Yuyu wants to try for herself, and I hope elder sister understands."

"I know what you're thinking, but I wonder if Prince Guo feels the same way about you. You know, for us women, marriage is a matter of lifelong happiness."

"If the prince has no feelings for you at all, then this marriage will ruin your life in vain!"

Concubine Wan looked at her sister in front of her earnestly, her eyes full of concern and worry.

"But elder sister..." Yuxuan bit her lower lip lightly, as if she wanted to make some further excuses.

"I know about this. Don't worry. If the prince also has this wish, I will definitely help you achieve it."

"Thank you, elder sister!" Yuyu finally turned sadness into joy.

Before they could say a few words, the emperor brought Su Peisheng to Suiyuxuan.

Everyone hurried to pay their respects to the emperor. When the emperor saw Yu Rao was there, his eyes suddenly became much softer and he almost lost his mind.

It was the first time that Yu Rao saw the emperor at such a close distance, and she was stunned. She just stood there blankly and forgot to salute.

"Yu Rao, why don't you pay your respects to the emperor quickly? How can you be so rude in front of the emperor?" Concubine Wan reminded.

"Your servant Zhen Yurao pays her respects to the emperor!" Yurao saluted the emperor generously.

The emperor waved his hands quickly and said, "We are all family, no need to be so polite, get up quickly!"

Yu Rao stood beside Concubine Wan and said nothing more.

"Your name is Yu Rao?" the emperor looked at Yu Rao and asked.

"Your Majesty, are you asking this question even though you already know the answer?" Yu Rao replied somewhat unhappily.

"Your Majesty, please don't be offended. Yu Rao has the nature of a child. It's all because I dote on her too much."

"It's alright. I just think that the word 'Rao' means delicate and charming. It's beautiful, but it doesn't match your lively and agile personality."

"I grant you a name, Wan."

Your Majesty, does the word "Wan" have any origin? Your Majesty couldn't have just picked up a random word and given it to Yu Rao when he gave her the name.

"Yang Chuoyue's graceful figure, Huai Wanfang's tender feelings. Zhang Hua's "Eternal Love" is a poem praising beauty. What do you think, Wanwan?"

"The beauty of this virtuous woman captivates the whole city with her longing for you. This poem is a lament for her death, and I, your humble servant, am still standing before your majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this poem was written by Zhang Hua in remembrance of his deceased wife. Your Majesty, you are not intending to marry Yu Rao, are you?"

"The emperor's face changed when he heard this. In the palace, the distinction between wives and concubines, and legitimate and illegitimate children is very clear. As for my wife, there is only one, the Empress of the Central Palace. I don't have such an intention." The emperor was obviously feeling guilty at this time, so he tried to change the subject, and happened to see Yuyun standing beside him.

I saw Yuyun still wearing a light green dress, standing aside, as fresh and refined as a blooming lotus.

"Oh, this is Yuxuan, right? I remember you were called Huanbi back then. Back then, you always followed Concubine Wan like a shadow, serving her at her side. Now you've become a well-established Second Young Lady, and judging by your age, you're not young anymore. Do you have a crush on someone?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Yu Yu couldn't help but lower her head and responded softly, "Your Majesty, that's right. I'm deeply grateful for your concern. It's just about the person I love..."

Yuxuan wanted to say something but stopped herself. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered her eyes, and her hands unconsciously fiddled with the silk handkerchief in her hands.

"Hmm? Now you are the younger sister of Concubine Wan. If you have a crush on someone, just tell me without hesitation. I will definitely find a way to fulfill your wish and make this a happy marriage for you two."

The emperor smiled and looked at Yuxuan in front of him with gentle eyes.

Yuyu felt a surge of panic upon hearing this, but she mustered her courage and slowly raised her head. She first glanced cautiously at Concubine Wan beside her, only to see her sister nod slightly, indicating her tacit approval.

So, Yu Yu took a deep breath, gathered her composure, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Actually... I have been in love with Prince Guo for a long time."

After saying this, her cheeks flushed and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into the emperor's majestic and deep eyes.

"Hmm? You mean Prince Guo? Oh, it's Old Seventeen! I've heard a lot about him. He's handsome, elegant, and talented. His reputation is truly renowned. No wonder he has so many admirers flocking to him."

The emperor nodded slightly, a faint bitter smile on his face.

Seeing this, Concubine Wan hurried forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, regarding Prince Guo's selection of a wife, do you have a suitable candidate in mind? My second sister is deeply in love with Prince Guo and has been for a long time. Although she is only my sister, I know that she is kind, gentle and virtuous, and is a perfect match for Prince Guo. Unfortunately, I wonder if the prince also has the same feelings for Yuxuan. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before making a decision on this matter."

After saying this, she looked at the emperor expectantly.

"This is not difficult. I will seriously consider Old Seventeen's marriage. Yuxuan is not an outsider, so I will make the decision and fulfill your wish. I will inform Old Seventeen myself."
