The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of An Lingrong: Counterattack to Become the Queen Mother

"Sister, this is really a relief! The concubine who wanted to harm us has been severely punished, and the harem can have peace for a while." Chun'er jumped to Zhen Huan.

"Chun'er, we can't take it lightly. The peace of the harem is like thin ice and may break at any time." Zhen Huan held Chun'er's hand, with caution in her eyes.

"Sister Zhen Huan is right, we still have to be careful. However, after all these things, our sisterhood has become even deeper!" Mei Zhuang said with a smile.

"Yes, only by supporting each other can we overcome difficulties time and time again." An Lingrong nodded in agreement.

On this day, the emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden and invited all the ladies to attend.

"Sisters, we must dress up nicely for this party. Maybe there will be something fun!" Chun'er said excitedly.

"Okay, we can't lose our composure." Zhen Huan responded with a smile.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing, and the tables were filled with fine wine and delicious food.

"It is a great pleasure to have all the ministers gathered here today." The emperor was in a good mood.

"The emperor's good health is a blessing for us and the harem," said the queen.

As Zhen Huan watched the lively scene, she was thinking about how to make the harem more harmonious. Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not?" Zhen Huan stood up and saluted.

"Oh? Zhen Huan, you can tell me whatever you want." The emperor looked at her with interest.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there are many sisters in the harem, but they know little about each other, so misunderstandings are inevitable. I would like to propose holding a harem sisters' gathering once a month. Everyone can show their talents and share interesting stories at the meeting, which will enhance friendship and reduce disputes." Zhen Huan said.

"This is a great idea! Zhen Huan, you always come up with interesting and beneficial ideas." The emperor praised, "I approve!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhen Huan bowed to express her gratitude.

The other ladies also praised Zhen Huan's proposal.

"Sister Zhen Huan is so smart. This social gathering will definitely be very interesting." said a lady.

"Yes, this social gathering is much more interesting than a banquet." Another lady agreed.

After the banquet, Zhen Huan and others began to prepare for the social gathering.

"Sister, we have to make the social gathering more exciting so that everyone can have fun." Chun'er said.

"That's right, we can prepare some interesting games and prizes." Mei Zhuang suggested.

"Also, we need to arrange the process properly and not let the situation become chaotic," An Lingrong added.

After several days of preparation, the social gathering finally began.

The ladies came to the social gathering with their prepared talents and small gifts.

"Dear sisters, today is our first social gathering. I hope everyone can have a great time." Zhen Huan opened with a smile.

The atmosphere was very lively from the beginning of the social gathering. Some girls performed dances with graceful figures, like fairies; others played musical instruments with melodious sounds that moved the heart.

"Wow, this girl's dance is so beautiful!" Chun'er applauded and cheered.

"Yes, this social gathering is much more interesting than a banquet." An Lingrong said with a smile.

During the game session, the children had a lot of fun.

"This lantern riddle game is so fun!" a young lady said excitedly.

"Haha, I guessed it!" Another young master ran to receive the prize with the riddle.

When the emperor heard that the social gathering was very lively, he also came to watch.

"Blessings to the Emperor!" The ladies bowed one after another.

"Everyone, get up. I'm here to see how you're having fun." The emperor said with a smile.

The emperor was very pleased to see the ladies getting along well with each other.

"Zhen Huan, you did a great job this time. I am very satisfied." The emperor said to Zhen Huan.

"As long as the emperor likes it, I am glad. I just hope that the sisters in the harem can live in harmony." Zhen Huan replied.

After the party ended, the emperor issued an edict to confer the title of Wanpin on Zhen Huan.

"Congratulations, sister! You are truly worthy of being named Wanpin." An Lingrong happily held Zhen Huan's hand, her eyes full of joy, as if she had been given the title herself.

"Thank you, sister. This is all thanks to everyone. If we hadn't worked together to prepare for the social gathering, we wouldn't be here today." Zhen Huan said with a smile.

"Sister Zhen Huan, you are Concubine Wan now, you must celebrate properly." Chun'er said.

"Yes, let's have a good gathering in my sister's palace tonight." Mei Zhuang suggested.

In the evening, Zhen Huan's palace was bustling with activity, and the sisters were laughing and talking happily.

"Sister, there will definitely be people who will be jealous of your promotion this time. We have to be careful." An Lingrong suddenly said.

"Lingrong, I know, but I'm not afraid of those jealous people. As long as we sisters are united, there's nothing to be afraid of." Zhen Huan said.

"That's right, let's not worry about that and just enjoy this moment first." Mei Zhuang raised her glass.

"Cheers! For our friendship and for the peace of the harem!" Chun'er shouted.

However, in a corner of the harem, a young lady was gnashing her teeth with jealousy.

"Hmph! Why is Zhen Huan so favored? Just because of a social gathering? I can do that too!" the young lady said angrily.

"My lady, don't be angry, we will find another way." The lady's maid advised.

"Think of a way? I must let Zhen Huan know that I won't let her be so proud forever!" A hint of viciousness flashed in the young lady's eyes.

The young lady secretly found an imperial physician who was dissatisfied with Zhen Huan and plotted to frame Zhen Huan.

"Imperial Physician, please try to tamper with Wanpin's diet to make her sick, preferably bedridden and lose her favor." The young lady said to the imperial physician.

"My lady, this... this is a serious crime. If I am discovered, I will be finished." The imperial physician hesitated.

"Hmph! If you don't do it, I will go tell the Queen right now that you had ill intentions towards me. Do you think the Queen will forgive you?" the young lady threatened.

"My lady, please don't. I will do it myself." The imperial physician agreed reluctantly.

The next day, the imperial physician took the opportunity to deliver the medicine and added a chronic poison to Zhen Huan's medicine, which would make Zhen Huan gradually weak.

After Zhen Huan drank the medicine, she began to feel unwell.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? You look so bad." Chun'er asked worriedly.

"I don't know either, I just feel like I have no strength in my body." Zhen Huan said weakly.

"Could it be that someone has tampered with the medicine? We need to find the imperial physician to take a look." Mei Zhuang said.

After calling the imperial physician, the physician lied and said that Zhen Huan was just overworked and needed a good rest.

"Sister, I think there is something wrong with this imperial physician. We need to find someone trustworthy to take another look." An Lingrong said.

So they called in a doctor who had always been on good terms with Zhen Huan. After a careful examination, the doctor discovered the problem.

"Princess Wan, you have been poisoned. The poison is very hidden and it is difficult to detect without careful examination." The imperial physician said seriously.

"What? Poisoned? Who is so cruel?" Zhen Huan said angrily.

"We must find out who is behind this!" Mei Zhuang said.

They began to investigate secretly and found that the eunuch who delivered the medicine had behaved in a suspicious manner.

"You, come here!" Zhen Huan's maid called the little eunuch.

"My lady, what's the matter?" The young eunuch looked panicked.

"Are you hiding something from us? Tell us!" the maid scolded.

"My lady, I...I know nothing." The young eunuch said tremblingly.

"Hmph! If you don't tell the truth, take him away and torture him!" Zhen Huan said angrily.

The young eunuch was frightened and had to confess.

"Yes... a young lady asked me to change the medicine. I don't know what happened!" said the little eunuch crying.

"Which lady?" Zhen Huan asked.

"Yes...she is a young lady beside Concubine Qi." The young eunuch replied.

Zhen Huan and others came to the Queen's palace and told her what happened.

"Is this really true? How can the harem tolerate such a thing of poisoning people! Investigate! We must get to the bottom of it!" The queen was furious.

After some investigation, the young lady who conspired with the imperial physician was finally found.

Why did you poison Zhen Huan?" the Queen asked.

"Empress, I am jealous of Zhen Huan. She is too favored, and I cannot accept this." The young lady cried.

"Hmph! You want to poison her just because of jealousy? You are too cruel! I will never let you off easily!" said the Queen.

"Empress, please spare my life!" the young lady begged for mercy.

"Drag her away and send her to the cold palace. You are not allowed to come out without my order!" the queen ordered.

The imperial physician was also severely punished.

After recuperation, Zhen Huan gradually recovered.

"Sister, this was really thrilling. We have to be more careful next time." Chun'er said.

"Yes, the conspiracy in the harem is really hard to guard against. However, we will not be defeated by these conspiracies." Zhen Huan said firmly.

"We must continue to work hard for harmony in the harem and not let these bad guys succeed," said An Lingrong.

"Yes, we want to make the harem full of warmth and no more conspiracies and calculations," Zhen Huan said.

In this complicated harem, Zhen Huan sticks to her beliefs amidst the vortex of favor and jealousy, faces various challenges with her sisters, and strives to protect the hard-earned peace.
