The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

The emperor and the empress prepared to leave the palace and go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain.

Therefore, when the emperor left, he handed over the management of the six palaces to Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan.

"Concubine Jing, Concubine Duan is a little weak, so you should discuss everything together. There are many pregnant women in the palace now, so we must be extra cautious. I will leave them to you."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Now that Concubine Hua has been demoted and placed under house arrest, Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan are easy to get along with and talk to.

Although Concubine Duan was in poor health and had been feeling unwell, she was able to attend the morning meeting today and it was rare for her to come out.

"I'm not feeling well, so I don't often come out to see people. Today is a rare opportunity for me to come out, so I can talk to my sisters."

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Hua also rushed over.

"Isn't this the Concubine Hua who is under house arrest? Why are you here too? I forgot that you are now Concubine Nian, not Concubine Hua." Concubine Qi spoke first.

"I was simply schemed against by a villain. When the Emperor returns, he will make his own decision. Concubine Qi, please don't be such a villain in vain."

"You are said to be assisting the six palaces, Jingfei, but don't forget that when I was a concubine, you were just a princess in my room. Even if the emperor promotes you to the position of concubine, you are still my person.

"That's wrong. Since the Emperor has allowed Concubine Jing to assist in managing the six palaces, it was naturally His Majesty's intention. Concubine Nian is still under house arrest, so why did she come out without permission? If the Emperor knew about it, it would be bad."

Sister Mei spoke up in time to speak for Concubine Jing.

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. The Emperor is very perceptive and will definitely give justice to the Empress. He will not wrongly accuse the Empress, nor will he let anyone who has done wrong go."

My sister also spoke at the right time.

"Now that the Empress is gone, how come you all don't care about me anymore? Even if the Empress were here, I would never be afraid."

"Just wait and see, the best is yet to come. Don't be impatient, there is still a long time to go." Concubine Hua arrogantly took Songzhi away.

"Songzhi, go and tell my brother what's happening in the palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Nian Concubine has always been like this. Nian Gengyao is at the peak of his military career, so Hua Fei naturally has someone to rely on. This is a common occurrence."

Everyone doesn't need to mind it, Concubine Nian has always had this temper.

Everyone had their own thoughts and soon dispersed.

Without Concubine Hua's ostentatious provocations, the harem was peaceful for a few days.

Not long after, the emperor came back.

At the morning meeting, the emperor mentioned that the Mongolian Junggars had written a letter requesting that their legitimate princess be married off to him.

Cao Qinmo's face changed drastically when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, although Wen Yi is your biological daughter, she is still young."

"If Wen Yi were a full-grown child, I wouldn't be worried about this matter."

"Your Majesty, Junggar only wants to marry a legitimate princess. Your Majesty has few daughters, and Princess Wenyi is not yet an adult. However, the late emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Chaogui, is in her prime."

The queen spoke for the emperor.

"But she is my youngest sister. How can I bear to send her to marry?"

"The Emperor worries about state affairs day and night. Even though you are a princess, you must fulfill your responsibilities to the country. How can the Emperor have pity on a half-sister?"

The queen was righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Then I will leave the matter of Princess Chaogui's marriage to the Queen!"

The emperor has made his decision, and no one dares to say anything more.

"Songzhi, do you think the emperor is really angry with me this time? The emperor hasn't come to see me for a long time."

"The Emperor would never treat Her Majesty like this. The Emperor cares most about Her Majesty. Now that the Emperor doesn't come to see Her Majesty, it just shows that the Emperor cares about Her Majesty."

"But I'm always a little scared. If the emperor really believes what they say, what should I do?"

Hua Fei was very scared at this time.

"Your Highness, the General has said that he will write a letter to the Emperor to express his regards for you. The Emperor, for the General's sake, will not embarrass you."

Songzhi analyzed it clearly on her own.

"Yes, Your Majesty wouldn't do that. Your Majesty would never treat me like this. It's all Zhen Huan and An Lingrong's fault. They framed me. I will definitely remember this and pay them back sooner or later."

Concubine Hua gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"Where's Concubine Cao? Go get her."

"Greetings to the Empress!" After a while, Concubine Cao came with Wen Yi.

"Why did you bring her here too?"

Concubine Hua looked displeased.

"Your Majesty, Wen Yi is feeling unwell, so she's been clinging to me. That's why I brought her here. Please forgive me."

Cao Qinmo was also afraid that Concubine Hua would get angry and take her anger out on Wen Yi.

"Well, then, tell me what the Emperor means by this? Is he really angry with me?"

Concubine Hua was also a little unsure.

"In my opinion, the Emperor only did it for everyone to see. He punished the Empress to silence Youyou. He certainly didn't really want to punish her, after all, so many people were watching."

Cao Qinmo answered cautiously.

Hua Fei only has the emperor in her heart, but she has no scheming. If it weren't for the relationship between Nian Gengyao and the Nian family, Hua Fei's temper would not have allowed her to survive in the palace for long.

"Princess Chaogui was married to Junggar Khan for only half a month when he passed away." I whispered to Cao Qinmo.

"Then Princess Chaogui will be returning to the court today, which is also a good thing." Cao Qinmo didn't care after hearing this.

"If that is the case, the princess should marry the new Khan as a concubine according to Junggar custom."

I told Cao Qinmo every word.

"How can we do such a humiliating thing?"

"Sister, a woman's only purpose is to continue the family line. Even if you are a princess, you cannot escape the fate of marrying off. There is no need to mobilize thousands of troops to solve a problem that can be solved by a princess."

"Then my Wen Yi..."

"Don't worry, sister. Princess Wen Yi will definitely not do that. The Emperor has always loved Princess Wen Yi and will definitely not be willing to let her go."

"I know I come from a humble background and don't have such a blessing, but since Sister Wan is interested in adopting Princess Wen Yi as her adopted daughter, I can rest assured."

"That's good, of course. Thank you, sister. I will do my best."

So, we have reached an agreement.

"Sister, although Concubine Hua has been demoted, the Emperor has not punished her. Because of Nian Gengyao, it's only a matter of time before she regains favor."

"The Emperor was only angry for a moment, and he wasn't really angry with Concubine Hua. I saw that a long time ago. The Emperor not only dotes on Concubine Hua, but he also has feelings for her."

Afterwards, my sister went to see the emperor and asked him to restore Hua Fei's position.

The emperor cannot take action against Nian Gengyao now, but Nian Gengyao has already touched the emperor's bottom line.

This will also make Nian Gengyao less vigilant and allow the emperor to make better plans.

We had already agreed to put on a play for Concubine Hua.

Because of this incident, we seemed to have a rift with each other and became more distant. Even the Queen didn't know about it and just thought it was true.

The Queen Mother was furious about this and reprimanded her sister for interfering in state affairs. Fortunately, her sister responded wittily and was able to avert danger, eliminating the Queen Mother's suspicion.
