The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Songzhi had already brought the wine in front of me, but I hesitated and didn't dare to reach out to take it. What should I do?

I was in a dilemma and had no idea what to do for a moment.

My sister probably saw through my dilemma, so she reached out and took the wine glass from Songzhi's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Because the wine was very strong, he choked immediately and started coughing uncontrollably, and it became difficult for him to speak.

It took me a long time to react and I quickly reached out to help my sister.

"I heard that the rose wine in Concubine Hua's palace is sweet and delicious. I couldn't help but want to try it. It seems that the rumors are true."

"It's just that I lost my manners. I tasted the wine that Your Majesty gave to Noble Lady An first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty Hua Fei!"

"Lady Wan is being a bit presumptuous. This is in my palace. Do you think you're in your own Suiyuxuan? You're so ignorant of the seriousness of the situation and don't distinguish between high and low. Does the Emperor not care?"

Concubine Hua was obviously angry and turned to look at the emperor with great dissatisfaction.

"Lady Wan, the things in Concubine Hua's palace are always excellent. If you like them, I can ask for some for you. You are being rather rude. Why don't you apologize to Her Majesty?"

Seeing this situation, the emperor also discovered something unusual. There was obviously something wrong with this rose wine, but it was not easy to reprimand Concubine Hua openly, so he had to smooth things over.

"It's all my fault, Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me!" My sister immediately understood the emperor's hint and bowed to apologize.

"Nizi is clever and always loves to joke around. Why is Concubine Hua also going to have a quarrel with her?"

The emperor's tone seemed kind, but there was also a hint of impatience in it.

Hua Fei knew that her sister had always been favored by the emperor, so no matter how unhappy she was, she dared not openly embarrass her. After the emperor said so, she could not embarrass her any further.

"How could that be? Your Majesty has truly misunderstood my meaning when he said this. Since Lady Wan likes it so much, I will bring some of the rose wine from my palace back with me for you to enjoy!"

"Thank you very much for your reward, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Lady Hua, this matter is entirely my fault and has nothing to do with Lady Wan. Lingrong is willing to sing another song for Your Majesty and Lady Hua, please don't mind."

Concubine Hua just can't stand the emperor favoring us, so she wants to take the opportunity to step on us and humiliate us to vent her anger.

So what if I make fun of a courtesan? It's just a song, so what's the problem?

My mentality at that time was no longer as fragile and sensitive as before.

"Then, sister, could you please play a piece for me? Otherwise, it would be a waste of this beautiful scenery and your excellent piano skills."

"In this case, sister will naturally be very happy!"

Concubine Hua ordered someone to bring a chair.

"Please take a seat!"

At this moment, my sister and I looked at each other and nodded slightly.

The sound of the piano gradually rises, and the melody is soft.

"The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away in darkness. When gold, wind, jade and dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world."

"Tender love is like water, good times are like dreams, and we can't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge on our way home. If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"

After the song, the emperor was very satisfied and was intoxicated by it for a long time.

I think that when the emperor heard this song, the first person he thought of was Queen Chunyuan, recalling the past and the beautiful things that could never be returned.

Seeing the emperor's satisfied look, although Concubine Hua was not happy, she didn't want to offend the emperor too much.

"Is this the Magpie Bridge Fairy by Qin Guan from the Song Dynasty? You've managed to incorporate lyrics into a song, which makes it even more meaningful. It's truly remarkable!"

I guess you read a lot, don't you? It's really hard for you!" The emperor's eyes showed a little more approval.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. It is my honor to make Your Majesty and Concubine Hua smile."

"Lady An, this song is indeed good. You really put your heart into it. Please come to my place more often in the future. Otherwise, since the Emperor is not here, I can't invite you anymore."

"So, the song is over. Are you happy?" the emperor asked Concubine Hua.

"It's late at night. You should go back early. The dew is heavy at night, so you should be careful."

"Su Peisheng, send them both back!"

"Your Majesty, the song is over, but I haven't rewarded you two sisters yet. You two sisters have made such a long trip late at night. If I don't show any appreciation, you two sisters will say I'm stingy when you go back."

"Songzhi, go get some rose wine for Concubine Wan. As for Concubine An, I guess she's not used to my wine.

I remember I got a jade pendant of excellent quality last time, so I'll give it to her!"

"Thank you, Empress Hua Fei, for your reward. It is Lingrong's blessing to receive your reward." I immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Just now, I want to thank my sister for standing up to protect me." After leaving the palace, I immediately thanked my sister.

"Lingrong, I just saw that you were in such a difficult situation. I was so anxious at the moment that I didn't think too much about it. Besides, the Emperor was there at the time, so Concubine Hua wouldn't poison you, would she?"

"That wine is indeed not poisoned. Normally it wouldn't be harmful to humans, but you don't know, sister, that singers like us have very delicate voices, and we can't stand any stimulation."

"I could smell the strong liquor in that glass of wine just now. If I had drunk it then, I'm afraid my voice would have been ruined and I wouldn't be able to sing again."

If I can no longer sing, I will be worthless. How can I retain the emperor's favor and maintain the peace and honor of my family?

"It's a good thing you noticed it just now, otherwise you can imagine the consequences. Concubine Hua is really vicious, actually wanting to harm you like this."

With a temper like that of Concubine Hua, who is straightforward and always has clear likes and dislikes, it is impossible for her to come up with such an idea.

"So you mean someone is helping her? Could it be Concubine Cao?"

"Sister, have you thought of this too? Cao Qinmo has always been giving advice to Concubine Hua, but she has always been under someone else's wing, all because of Princess Wen Yi.

She had no power and influence. If she did not rely on Concubine Hua, the Queen would not like the princes and princesses in the Forbidden City, nor would she tolerate her.

If Concubine Hua had not used Princess Wen Yi to compete for favor and poisoned us last time, Cao Qinmo would not have had a grudge against Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei will never understand a mother's heart."

"Sister, let's go back first. We'll talk about this later."

Looking at the jade pendant awarded by Concubine Hua, I recalled things from my previous life.

Because I was humiliated by Concubine Hua and treated as a singing girl for her amusement, I hated her to the core and even used it as witchcraft to curse her, but was discovered by the Queen.

Because of worry and fear, she had to rely on the queen and became suspicious of her sister.

It seems that at this time, the Queen has already noticed me and wants to win me over to serve her, so she deliberately set up a trap.

In this case, I will take this opportunity to test the loyalty of the people around me.

Baojuan and Juqing are both close to me. If either of them turns his mind to me, I will be killed without a burial place if I am not careful.

"Baojuan, go find some materials tomorrow. I need them! And don't put away this jade pendant given by Concubine Hua!"

"Yes, I understand!"
