The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"Sister, this tea set is so exquisite!" Yu Rao exclaimed.

"Yes, such a good thing must be paired with the best tea and the most beautiful Yu Rao." She said with a smile.

"Sister, why are you still making fun of me now?" Yu Rao pouted, looking embarrassed.

At this moment, the eunuch outside announced loudly: "The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect the emperor to come here suddenly. Madam Zhen was also a little uneasy at this time.

In a blink of an eye, the emperor came in. When he looked up, he saw that there were two more people there.

When the emperor saw Madam Zhen's appearance, his expression froze. He didn't speak for a long time and stared blankly at the person in front of him.

"Could this face in front of me be the same as the person I've been thinking about in my dreams? But Chun Yuan is dead, how could he be resurrected again?" The emperor was thinking this in his heart.

Su Peisheng also noticed the emperor's abnormality, so he had to quietly remind him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Madam Zhen is here to pay her respects to you."

The emperor suddenly came to his senses and looked at the people around him again.

I saw everyone kneeling on the ground and saluting him.

"All of you please stand up!" The emperor had no choice but to say this and then sat down.

He just saw a face that looked very similar to Chun Yuan. Was it really an illusion?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up and thanked the emperor.

Madam Zhen raised her head nervously, met the emperor's gaze, and immediately lowered her head.

The emperor also saw Madam Zhen at once, and was sure that it was not an illusion.

"You? Who are you?" The emperor couldn't help but ask Madam Zhen.

Madam Zhen took a step forward, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully, "I am Zhen, your majesty, and I pay my respects to you!"

"Oh...it turns out to be Zhen Yuandao's wife...Why have I never seen the lady before?" The emperor couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Your Majesty, I have always been in poor health and rarely enter the palace, so it is normal that Your Majesty has never seen me. Now that Concubine Wan is about to give birth, thanks to the grace of Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I can enter the palace to accompany Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty!" Madam Zhen answered gracefully, her voice gentle and melodious, which made people feel very comfortable listening to it.

The emperor suddenly realized: "Oh? So that's it, it's Zhen Yuandao's wife. After seeing her today, I found that the lady is indeed dignified and elegant, with extraordinary temperament." As he spoke, he looked up and down at the woman in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Madam Zhen smiled slightly, bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, your praise is too much. I am a humble woman and cannot bear your praise."

The emperor smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to be so polite. After all, we are all family. If you have time in the future, you should come to the palace more often. Wanwan is looking forward to your visit. Since you are here this time, please stay for a while."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhen could only nod and respond, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although the emperor sat down, he was still uneasy. He couldn't calm down for a long time and didn't know what to say. He was fidgeting.

Then he stood up and suddenly said, "It's rare for Madam to come into the palace today, so why don't you sit together and talk, so that you won't feel restrained while I'm here."

"Wanwan, talk to your mother. I will go back to the imperial study to take care of some things first and come to see you later." The emperor turned to Concubine Wan and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can go ahead and get busy!" Concubine Wan stood up and saluted the emperor.

The emperor left in a state of anxiety.

After leaving the Suiyuxuan, the emperor asked Su Peisheng beside him: "Who do you think Zhen Yuandao's wife looks like? I always feel that she looks like someone."

"Your Majesty, Madam Zhen does look familiar. To be disrespectful, I think Madam Zhen is somewhat similar to Empress Chunyuan, especially her eyebrows and eyes, which are very similar." Su Peisheng said tremblingly, looking at the emperor's expression as he spoke.

He knew that his statement might cause dissatisfaction with the emperor, but he had to say it. After all, Queen Chunyuan had been dead for many years, and this Madam Zhen suddenly appeared and looked so much like Queen Chunyuan.

After hearing Su Peisheng's words, the emperor did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment.

There was a hint of confusion and nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was remembering something from the past.

After a while, he slowly said, "Yes, there is indeed some resemblance."

The emperor did not show much emotion, just frowned slightly, then turned and left.

Su Peisheng, who was following behind the emperor, could see that the emperor's steps were a bit heavy. Su Peisheng just followed behind silently and did not dare to ask any more questions, for fear of angering the emperor.

After the emperor returned to the imperial study, he sat at the desk and did not move for a long time.

His eyes were fixed on the front, but his thoughts had already drifted away.

The image of Queen Chunyuan kept appearing in his mind. Her beauty, gentleness and kindness were deeply imprinted in his heart. Now seeing Madam Zhen who was similar to her, he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion.

After a long time, the emperor sighed softly and began to deal with government affairs.

Su Peisheng stood aside, silently waiting for the emperor's instructions, but after waiting for a long time, the emperor did not say anything.

It was almost time for dinner, but the emperor showed no intention of moving.

Su Peisheng stood aside, feeling anxious. He knew that the emperor was in a bad mood today, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

After thinking for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to ask softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. Would you like to have dinner in the Imperial Study or with one of the Empresses?"

The emperor frowned and said impatiently, "Just eat here!"

Hearing this, Su Peisheng felt relieved and quickly responded, "Yes, I'll serve the meal right away!" After that, he carefully left the imperial study.

After Su Peisheng left, the emperor sighed deeply and looked out the window, as if thinking about something.

After dinner, the emperor continued reading memorials, and he kept reading until evening without any intention of stopping.

Su Peisheng looked at the emperor's abnormal behavior today and guessed what he was thinking. The emperor was thinking of Queen Chunyuan again.

"Your Majesty, you have been reading memorials all day and it is time to rest. Will you rest in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity tonight, or go to one of the empresses' palaces?" Su Peisheng reminded the emperor carefully.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his temples, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

He looked up at Su Peisheng, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "I still have some things to deal with, so you can rest in the Yangxin Palace tonight." After saying that, the emperor lowered his head and continued to read the memorials, as if he had forgotten his fatigue just now.

Su Peisheng nodded silently and sighed in his heart.

Su Peisheng quietly left the study, leaving the emperor alone busy in the candlelight.

As night fell, the palace was quiet.

Only the candlelight in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was still flickering, illuminating the emperor's lonely figure.
