The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"The Emperor has arrived!" A sudden eunuch's announcement interrupted the conversation between the Queen and Jianqiu.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." Jianqiu said happily.

At this time, the queen was sitting on the couch, and Jianqiu hurriedly helped the queen up.

At this time, the emperor had already come in.

The Queen was about to bow to the Emperor, but the Emperor waved his hand and said, "Queen, please don't bow. If you are not feeling well, there is no need to be so polite. Go back and lie down."

The Queen was touched when she heard this. It had been a long time since the Emperor had spoken to her so tenderly.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty." The queen said gently.

Jianqiu also retreated tactfully at this time.

"What's there to thank me for? You and I are husband and wife, and it's my duty to care about you. I'm always worried about you because you're not in good health." The emperor spoke slowly.

The queen wanted to speak and say that she was fine.

The Emperor spoke first: "So I thought, during this period of time, I will let Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui take care of the affairs of the six palaces, so that you can rest and recuperate."

When the queen heard this, she was shocked. The emperor actually wanted the three of them to help manage the six palaces and share her power, but she was ill now and could not refuse.

After thinking about it, the queen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"I thank Your Majesty for your understanding, but Concubine Duan is weak and cannot work too hard. Concubine Hui has to take care of the Sixth Prince, so naturally she doesn't have much time. I'm afraid Concubine Jing is a little overwhelmed if she is alone." The Queen said with pretended embarrassment.

"However, I think Noble Lady Fucha is quite steady, and the newcomers Kang Changzai and Zhenpin are also very good." The Queen thought it would be good to release some of her own people.

After hearing this, the Emperor thought for a moment and said to the Empress, "Noble Lady Fucha is not bad, but Concubine Kang and Concubine Zhen have only been in the palace for a short time and are still a little young. Concubine Xin, on the other hand, has been in the palace for many years and is still only a Concubine. Let's promote Concubine Xin to a noble lady."

"Your Majesty is right. Concubine Xin should be promoted. But I think the other sisters in the palace should also be promoted. What do you think, Your Majesty?" The Queen tried to fight for it.

"What the Queen said is true. After a while, I plan to confer titles on the six palaces. The Queen must take good care of herself recently. The concubines will thank you and listen to your teachings then." The Emperor said this suddenly.

The queen was a little surprised. There were already four concubines, and none of them were hers. Only Noble Lady Fucha, Concubine Kang and Concubine Zhen were dependent on her.

Concubine Chun has always been on good terms with Concubine Wan and the others, and Concubine Ye is unruly and cannot be used for her own benefit. Concubine Xin is neutral and refuses to take sides. This is a troublesome matter.

But the queen could only smile and reply: "Your Majesty is right. I will definitely get better soon."

The emperor achieved his goal and was immediately very happy. He chatted with the queen for a while before leaving Kunning Palace.

As soon as the emperor left, Jianqiu came in.

"Your Majesty, what does the Emperor mean by this? You are the Empress and should be in charge of the harem. Why does the Emperor let Concubine Duan and others assist in managing the six palaces?" Jianqiu complained.

"Why are you panicking? Concubine Duan is weak, Concubine Jing has a bad temper and doesn't fight or compete, and Concubine Hui is busy with her children. I'll just watch how they help manage the six palaces..." The queen smiled meaningfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty has her own deep meaning, it is I who am stupid."

Soon, the emperor's decree was issued to the harem.

Although Concubine Duan was weak, she had rich experience. Concubine Jing could discuss and make decisions with Concubine Duan when there was something. Concubine Hui also learned about the affairs of the six palaces, and the direction of the harem changed suddenly.

Concubine Xin was also promoted to noble lady. Noble lady Fucha, Noble lady Xin, Concubine Kang and Concubine Zhen are now living in Chuxiu Palace.

Noble Lady Fucha had a bad temper. Although she came from a good family, she was not smart enough. As for Concubine Kang and Concubine Zhen, they entered the palace by relying on their family's honor. Although the Queen valued them, their knowledge was very shallow and they only had the empty title of ladies from a noble family.

Since Concubine Jing and others took charge of the six palaces, the Queen rested quietly for a while and was exempted from paying respects to the other palaces.

That day, my sister and I were sitting together and talking about children, when Concubine Jing and Sister Mei came over together.

"How are you two sisters doing recently? I haven't been to Suiyuxuan for a long time. I hope you don't mind." Concubine Jing said politely as soon as she entered the door.

Since Concubine Jing and others took charge of the six palaces, the Queen rested quietly for a while, did not see anyone, and even exempted the concubines from paying their respects.

That day, my sister and I were chatting in Suiyuxuan and talked about things related to children. At this time, Concubine Jing and Sister Mei came together.

"How are you two young sisters lately?" Concubine Jing said with a smile as she entered the room. "Concubine Hui and I have been very busy lately. We haven't been to Suiyuxuan for a long time. I hope you don't mind!"

"How could that be? My two elder sisters have been busy with the affairs of the Six Palaces recently. How come they have time to come here today?"

"I have been busy these days. Today I finally got some free time, so I came to see my two sisters. I heard that Concubine Wan's due date is in these few days. Are you feeling unwell?" Concubine Jing asked with concern.

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just feel tired all the time. I'm worried about you, Sister Lao!"

"Is Sister An okay? I remember you were pregnant one after another, only about a month apart. Is Sister An also getting pregnant soon?" Concubine Jing turned around and asked me.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. Doctor Wen said I still have more than a month to live. As for you, sister, it will probably be in the next few days." I said with a smile, and then looked at her with concern.

"Yes, my stomach has been getting heavier these days. I'm afraid it's almost time." My sister replied with a smile while stroking her belly.

"Huan'er, I heard that your mother came to the palace to accompany you during childbirth a few days ago. Why don't we see her today?" Sister Mei asked curiously.

"She was here just now. I didn't notice when she left. I was just busy chatting with Lingrong."

Just when we were puzzled, Mrs. Zhen came in with Liuzhu and Huanbi.

As soon as she saw Concubine Jing and Meizhuang, she walked forward with a joyful smile on her face.

"Greetings to the two ladies!" Madam Zhen bowed respectfully.

"Madam, you are too polite. Please stand up quickly!" Concubine Jing hurriedly helped her sister's mother up.

"Mom, where did you go just now?!" my sister said excitedly.

"Didn't you say you missed the pastries made by your mother? Didn't I ask Huanbi and Liuzhu to help me?" Mrs. Zhen looked at her sister gently, her eyes full of love.

"Mother, let me introduce you. This is Concubine Jing, and this is Sister Mei, Concubine Hui." She pointed at Concubine Jing and Sister Mei and introduced them.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui! I didn't recognize you just now, please don't mind." Madam Zhen bowed again.

"Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Sister Mei smiled and gestured for them to sit down.

"Thank you, Concubine Hui." Zhen Huan's mother said gratefully, and then sat on the chair with Zhen Huan.

"Mom, what delicious food did you just make?" she asked coquettishly.

"Of course I made your favorite snacks and some supplements." Mrs. Zhen replied with a smile.

"Thank you, mother. You have worked so hard!" she said with emotion.

"Huanbi, Liuzhu, please bring the cakes over here so I can have a taste!"

Everyone ate cakes and drank tea, and for a moment, they were very happy.

After sitting for a while, everyone went back.
