The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

When I got back, my sister and Chun'er were having breakfast.

Seeing me come back, my sister quickly stood up and greeted me: "Lingrong, you're back, come and have breakfast. I asked the kitchen to grind some fresh soy milk this morning, come and try it."

As she said that, she personally poured me a cup of soy milk and handed it to me.

After thanking my sister, I sat down and took a sip of the soy milk. It tasted really good.

Seeing that I liked it, my sister picked up another piece of cake and put it in my bowl, saying, "This is the rose cake I asked Liuzhu to make. Try it and see if you like it."

I took a bite of the rose pastry and found it crispy, sweet but not greasy, which touched me deeply.

At this time, Chun'er asked curiously, "Sister An, what did the Queen want to talk to you about this morning?"

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. Seeing this, my sister quickly explained for me, "Chun'er, the Empress is probably just concerned about Lingrong."

Chun'er nodded, but she was still a little confused: "But why is the Queen suddenly concerned about Sister An?"

My elder sister smiled and said, "The Empress has always been very concerned about us sisters in the harem, so she specially asked her to come over to chat with her to show her concern."

After hearing this, Chun'er nodded in sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is! The Queen is really a good person!"

"Isn't that what my sister said? The Queen Mother saw that I was having a hard time with my pregnancy, so she called me over to show some concern."

Chun'er is simple and there are many things that we don't need to let her know.

After breakfast, Chun'er went to sleep again.

"Lingrong, the Queen wants to see you alone, is there anything wrong?" My sister asked me after Chun'er left.

"The Queen came to me this time, ostensibly out of concern, but in reality, to win me over. I'm not from a high-born family, but I'm favored by the Emperor, so the Queen wants to win me over and use me for her own benefit."

"Why would the Queen suddenly have such thoughts? Besides, doesn't the Queen have Concubine Qi, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Qi by her side?" My sister was a little confused when she heard me say this.

"Sister, you don't know, but the Queen has always disliked children in the palace. She has done many things, both overtly and covertly. Now that our unborn child is here, there's no guarantee that she won't become the target of public criticism. Perhaps the Queen has already had this in mind."

"So the Queen Mother used courtesy before force. If we don't rely on her, won't even our child be born safely?"

"No, even if we depend on her, the Queen will not tolerate the child. I know the Queen's character too well."

Thinking of what the Queen did in her previous life, a bit of hatred began to grow in my heart.

"If that's the case, Lingrong, what do you mean? Doesn't the emperor know about these things?"

"So what if the emperor knows? He just turns a blind eye. Even the empress dowager turns a blind eye for the glory of the Ulanara and Uya families and for the position of the empress of the central palace." I stated the fact lightly.

"How could this happen? Could it be that the Queen is the sole ruler of the harem?"

"Sister, we can't just sit and wait for death this time. For the sake of the baby in our belly, we have to plan carefully. Maybe we can ask Sister Mei for help. Only she can help with this matter." I had an idea in my mind.

"You're right. We should take a long-term view on this matter."

"I wonder who's talking about me? I just happened to hear it."

It was Sister Mei who came with the little prince.

"Sister Mei, why are you here? The weather is still a little cold now, even though it's spring. But what if the child catches a cold?"

"It's okay. The weather is great today. I've already asked Doctor Wen if it's good for the child to get out and breathe some fresh air."

"I, as a mother, am a little careless, not even as good as you, a pregnant woman." Sister Mei joked with a smile, her eyes full of laughter.

Sister Wan smiled gently and responded, "Sister, what you said really makes me feel ashamed!"

"Lingrong, come and take a look at the little prince. He's so cute, and he looks just like Sister Mei."

I took a few steps closer and looked down at the baby in the wet nurse's arms.

The little guy closed his eyes tightly, clenched his little fists tightly, and was sleeping soundly.

Sister Mei tilted her head slightly and looked at the child in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

"Sister, the little prince is so handsome. If you give birth to a prince, you and the little prince will have a companion."

"What if it's a princess?"

"If it's a princess, she's also a playmate since childhood. Just like the three of us, they have a deep bond."

"Jinxi, take the little prince to the side hall to sleep. He should wake up soon. Let us have a chat." Sister Mei instructed Jinxi.

"Yes, I will go right away, my lady, don't worry."

"How are you two doing lately? I've been busy taking care of the children and haven't had time to come over recently. You're already in your advanced stage of pregnancy and it's not convenient for you to move around." Sister Mei asked with concern.

"We are all fine, sister, don't worry. Sister, you just need to take good care of the children now, and don't worry about anything else."

"Now that I have this child, I only hope that he can grow up safely, healthy and happy. I don't want to care about many things anymore. Now that Nian Shilan is dead, my hatred has disappeared. It's just that I am always a little disappointed with the emperor."

"Sister Mei..." I hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"But I've long understood that the Emperor's grace is limited. Now I'm no longer the Shen Meizhuang of the past. Not only for the sake of my child, but also for the glory of the Shen family, I will stand up again."

Sister Mei seems to have found the direction of her life and is no longer obsessed with feelings.

"It's good that you think this way, sister. We came to the palace not only for ourselves, but also for the honor of our family."

"Sister Mei, there is something I want to ask you for help, and you happened to be here." I thought for a moment and then spoke.

Mei Zhuang looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, but she nodded. "Lingrong, tell me, what is it that you need my help with? As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Her tone was firm and sincere, which made me feel extremely warm and at ease.

I took a deep breath and said slowly: "Sister Mei, this matter is very important to us. I would like to ask you to help advise the Queen Mother and ask the Queen to personally take care of me and my sister's baby..." As I said, I told Sister Mei the plan in detail.

Sister Mei listened to me quietly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

When I finished speaking, she pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said to me seriously, "Lingrong, this isn't difficult. Since you've asked, I'll naturally do my best. The Queen Mother treats me very well and likes the little prince. If it's for the sake of the royal heir, I'm sure the Queen Mother will agree."

I looked at Mei Zhuang gratefully and said, "Sister Mei, thank you for taking care of this matter."

Mei Zhuang nodded slightly, showing her understanding. She patted my hand gently and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Lingrong."
