The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

After this incident, the Queen stayed in Jingren Palace all day long and didn't go out. She even skipped our daily greetings. I don't know what she was thinking.

On the other hand, Concubine Jing and Sister Mei took over the affairs of the harem. Their performance was outstanding and won the praise of the Queen Mother.

Although my sister and I were allowed to learn and assist in the management of the six palaces, I kept to my duties, behaved modestly and protected myself, and did not stand out. I knew that I had no one to rely on, so I should be patient and dormant.

Sister Mei has always been the Queen Mother's favorite, and now she has won more praise with her own abilities and talents. The Queen Mother's love for her is beyond words, which also makes me feel sincerely happy for Sister Mei.

At this time, the atmosphere in the harem seemed to become much more relaxed, and everyone was no longer as cautious as before.

On this day, the empress dowager summoned the queen to Shoukang Palace. Although the queen did not want to go, she could not disobey the empress dowager's order.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!" The Queen went to Shoukang Palace and saluted the Empress Dowager.

"It doesn't matter whether I am safe or not. What I care about is whether the emperor's children are safe or not." The empress dowager said coldly.

"Empress Mother..." The Queen was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Are Concubine Wan and Concubine Rong's pregnancies all right now?" The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and asked word by word.

"Empress Dowager, I am staying indoors now. I really don't know about the pregnancy of Concubine Wan and Concubine Rong." The Queen said in fear and trepidation.

"You are the Empress, how could you not know? The Emperor has asked Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui to manage the affairs of the six palaces. Don't you understand what this means?"

"My Queen Mother, I am stupid." The Queen said with her head down.

"The Empress is intelligent, how could she not know the Emperor's intention? I am not unaware of the matter regarding the auspicious clothing. But you have gone too far this time. It is no wonder that the Emperor is angry. You know very well how important Rouze is to the Emperor, yet you actually wanted to use Chunyuan's clothing to deal with Concubine Wan. How could the Emperor not be angry?"

The Queen Mother saw clearly that all this was the Queen's intention.

"Empress Dowager, this was an unintentional mistake on my part. It was not intentional." The Queen defended herself.

"Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it's all in the past now. But you must do your best to protect the fetuses of Concubine Wan and Concubine Rong. The Emperor doesn't have many children, so no one should have any thoughts about this matter." The Queen Mother made it clear to the Queen.

"You are the Empress. You enjoy the glory of being an Empress, but naturally you also have to bear the sadness and helplessness that comes with that glory. I will not interfere with what you want to do, but when it comes to the Emperor's offspring, I will not allow anyone to harm the Emperor's children."

"I have never been an empress for a single day, so as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, I made you the empress, so that you could continue the glory of the Ulanara and Uya clans. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

The Queen Mother appealed to the Queen's emotions and explained the situation to her with reason.

The Empress Dowager has always known that the things the Empress did behind the scenes were just for the honor of the family, and she turned a blind eye to them. Now that the Empress has plotted against the Emperor's offspring, the Empress Dowager can no longer ignore it.

"Yes, I understand." The queen replied helplessly.

"I will suggest to the Emperor that you take care of their children. I hope you won't let me down. You must remember that you are the Empress. No matter whose children they are, they must call you Empress Mother."

"Everything is up to the Empress Dowager!" The Queen agreed reluctantly.

Spring is gradually warming up and the weather is sunny.

One day, I stood at the door, watching the sunlight outside shining on the ground. Although it was inconvenient for me to move, I felt particularly happy.

The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing.

Such nice weather makes people want to go out for a walk. I thought about it while slowly going to my sister's place.

"Sister, the weather is so nice today, let's go out for a walk!"

"Lingrong, why are you just like Chun'er, wanting to go out every day? Chun'er just said she wanted to catch butterflies in the Imperial Garden."

"Really? Then Chun'er and I have the same idea."

"That's right. Sister Wan doesn't want to go out, but I want to go out and play every day. Sister An and I have the same idea. Let's go to the Imperial Garden to catch butterflies together." Chun'er hurried over and took my hand, saying affectionately.

"Okay, since your sister Wan isn't going, then the two of us will go." I whispered to Chun'er.

"Then let's go quickly, otherwise Sister Wan won't let us out." Chun'er said in a low voice.

"Chun'er, you go first, I'll be there soon."

"Jinxi, go tell your sister so that she won't worry."

"Don't worry, my lady, I understand."

The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming one after another, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Walking among the flowers and admiring these beautiful flowers, I feel extremely happy in my heart.

Suddenly, a butterfly flew past me, its wings gleaming with golden and green light, very beautiful. I couldn't help but be attracted by the butterfly, and my eyes followed it as it flew away.

"Chun'er, come here quickly, there are butterflies here."

Chun Er shouted from the side: "Sister An, I saw it, wait for me to catch it!"

Chun'er continued to chase the butterfly until it flew onto a tree and disappeared among the dense leaves.

She looked depressed and unhappy.

I comforted her, "Look, butterflies love freedom too. It's so nice to let them be free in this blue sky with white clouds and bright sunshine."

"Yes, butterflies can fly freely and go wherever they want. How nice it would be if I were a butterfly!" Chun'er looked at the disappearing butterfly unconsciously, her heart filled with desire and yearning for freedom.

"Chun'er, are you homesick?"

Looking at the innocent and lovely Chun'er in front of me is like seeing my own sister.

My sisters have never been close to me since we were young. They always bullied me. Although I am the legitimate daughter, my father does not like my mother, so I have to be bullied by my sisters as well.

Chun'er's appearance filled the void in my heart. Her innocence, liveliness and cheerfulness made me feel the warmth of family.

How I wish she could always maintain this innocence and not be affected by the outside world. I am willing to do my best to protect her, just like protecting my own sister.

Chun'er snuggled on my shoulder and murmured, "Sister An is the best. She shares delicious food with me, gives me fun things, and even accompanies me to catch butterflies. Sister An is so nice."

"Then your sister Wan is not good?"

I teased her with a smile: "Be careful or I'll tell my sister. If she gets angry, you won't have any delicious food today!"

When Chun'er heard this, she said anxiously, "No way, Sister Wan wouldn't be that stingy."

Her eyes were full of trust and reliance on me: "Sister An is the best. She wouldn't do that, would she? She must have been lying to Chun'er."

"We've been out for a long time. It's time to go back, otherwise your sister Wan will be worried."
