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

"Sister, you're finally okay! You scared us!" Chun'er held Zhen Huan's hand, her eyes red.

"Chun'er, I'm fine now. This time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done." Zhen Huan smiled, her eyes full of emotion.

"Yes, it was really dangerous this time. We can't let this happen again in the future." An Lingrong said with a frown.

"Yes, we have to be more careful. However, after this incident, we also know who we can trust." Mei Zhuang nodded in agreement.

On this day, Zhen Huan was in her palace, and the palace maids brought her several plates of exquisite pastries.

"Wow! What is this? It looks so beautiful!" Chun'er's eyes suddenly lit up and stared at the pastries with their eyes shining.

"Chun'er, you only know how to eat. These are new pastries made in the imperial kitchen, specially sent here for us to try." Zhen Huan said with a smile.

"Sister, can I eat?" Chun'er swallowed and looked at Zhen Huan eagerly.

"Eat it. Look how greedy you are." Zhen Huan said lovingly.

Chun'er couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm! It's so delicious! Sister, you try it too." Chun'er said as she picked up another piece and handed it to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan smiled and took a bite, "Hmm, it tastes really good."

"Sister Lingrong, you eat too!" Chun'er picked up another piece and handed it to An Lingrong.

"Chun'er, eat by yourself. I'm not hungry yet." An Lingrong smiled and shook her head.

"Then I won't be polite!" Chun'er said, and started to eat again, with a lot of pastry crumbs on the corners of her mouth.

"Chun'er, eat slowly, don't choke." Zhen Huan smiled and handed over a cup of tea.

"Sister, I have never eaten such delicious pastries! I wish I could eat them every day." Chun'er said with satisfaction, her eyes still fixed on the pastries.

"You are just a little foodie. But as long as you like it, I will ask someone to make it for you often in the future." Zhen Huan pinched Chun'er's nose with a smile.

"Really? Sister, you are so nice!" Chun'er jumped up excitedly.

At this time, Mei Zhuang walked in.

"You guys are having so much fun here, what are you eating?" Mei Zhuang asked with a smile.

"Sister Mei Zhuang, you came at the right time. Come and try this pastry, it's delicious!" Chun'er held Mei Zhuang's hand.

Mei Zhuang picked up a piece of cake and tasted it. "Hmm, this taste is really unique. The imperial kitchen must have put a lot of effort into it this time."

"Sister Mei Zhuang, how do you make this pastry? I really want to learn it so that I can make it myself in the future." Chun'er asked curiously.

"I don't know about that, but we can ask the chef in the imperial kitchen." Mei Zhuang replied.

"Yes! We can go to the imperial kitchen and take a look. Maybe we can find other delicious food!" Chun'er said excitedly.

"Chun'er, the imperial kitchen is not a place we can go to casually. If the Queen finds out, she will say that we don't know the rules." Zhen Huan reminded.

"What should I do? I really want to know how this pastry is made." Chun'er felt a little disappointed.

"We can ask a eunuch who is familiar with the imperial kitchen to help us find out." An Lingrong suggested.

"That's a good idea! I'll go find someone right away." Chun'er said and ran out.

After a while, Chun'er came back with a little eunuch.

"Sister, I brought Xiao Shunzi here. He often works near the imperial kitchen, so he should know something." Chun'er said.

"Xiao Shunzi, do you know how this pastry is made?" Zhen Huan asked.

"Replying to Empress Wanpin, this pastry was newly developed by Master Li from the imperial kitchen. It uses the finest glutinous rice flour, fresh nectar and nuts, and is made through many steps." Xiao Shunzi replied.

"It sounds so complicated! But it's really delicious." Chun'er exclaimed.

"Xiao Shunzi, can you help us get a recipe? We want to try making it ourselves." Mei Zhuang said.

"This... Your Majesty, this is probably not a good idea. The recipes in the imperial kitchen are kept secret. If they are discovered, I cannot bear the responsibility." Xiao Shunzi looked embarrassed.

"Forget it, we can't make things difficult for you." Zhen Huan said.

"However, if you ladies really like it, I can try to talk to Master Li and see if he can make more for you." Xiao Shunzi said.

"That's great! Thank you, Xiao Shunzi." Chun'er said with a smile.

A few days later, Xiao Shunzi brought more cakes.

"Ladies, Master Li heard that you liked it, so he made some more," said Xiao Shunzi.

"Thank you so much, Master Li!" Chun'er said happily, and immediately picked up a piece of cake and started eating.

"Chun'er, eat less. These pastries will not taste good if left for too long. We can share them with other ladies to try." Zhen Huan suggested.

"Yes, we can give these cakes as gifts to other ladies to enhance our relationship." An Lingrong said.

"That's a good idea! Let's go now." Mei Zhuang nodded in agreement.

So, Zhen Huan and others took cakes and went to visit other ladies.

"Dear sisters, these are the latest pastries made in the imperial kitchen. They taste very good. We brought some for you to try." Zhen Huan said to the other ladies with a smile.

"Thank you, Concubine Wan. You are so thoughtful." The ladies expressed their gratitude one after another.

"These pastries are so delicious. Concubine Wan is so generous." A lady praised.

"I'm glad everyone likes it. I hope we can be as sweet as this cake in the future." Zhen Huan said with a smile.

By sending cakes, the relationship between Zhen Huan and others and other ladies became more harmonious.

However, in another corner of the harem, some people were dissatisfied with this.

"Hmph! Zhen Huan only knows how to use these little tricks to win people's hearts. Does she think that sending some cakes will make everyone stand on her side?" said a lady jealously.

"My lady, don't be angry, we can find a way to deal with it." The lady's maid advised.

"Think of a way? I want to see how long she can be so proud!" A hint of viciousness flashed in the young lady's eyes.

The young lady secretly found some palace maids and eunuchs and asked them to spread rumors in the palace, saying that the cakes sent by Zhen Huan were problematic and would make people sick if eaten.

"Have you heard? The cakes sent by Zhen Huan cannot be eaten. Some people have felt unwell after eating them." The palace maids discussed in private.

"Really? I ate it, nothing will happen, right?" another maid said in horror.

The rumor spread quickly, and some ladies began to doubt the pastries sent by Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan and others also heard the rumors.

"Sister, this must be someone deliberately spreading rumors to destroy our relationship with other young ladies." An Lingrong said angrily.

"Hmph! These people are so hateful. We can't let them succeed." Mei Zhuang said.

"We have to find a way to clarify this and not let the other ladies misunderstand." Zhen Huan said with a frown.

"We can ask the imperial physician to check these pastries and prove that there is no problem." Chun'er suggested.

"Yes, let's do it." Zhen Huan nodded.

So, Zhen Huan and others invited the imperial physician to check the pastries.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with these pastries. You can eat them with confidence." said the imperial physician after checking.

"That's great! We can tell the other ladies what the imperial physician said and tell them not to believe the rumors." Mei Zhuang said.

Zhen Huan and others began to run around the palace again, explaining to other ladies.

"Dear sisters, we have asked the imperial physician to check and there is nothing wrong with the pastries. Someone is deliberately spreading rumors to destroy the friendship between us." Zhen Huan said sincerely to the ladies.

"So that's how it is. We almost believed those rumors." said a young master.

"Yes, thanks to Concubine Wan for clarifying it in time, otherwise we would have misunderstood you." said another lady.

Through the efforts of Zhen Huan and others, the rumors were finally quelled.

"Sister, this is just a false alarm, but we can't let our guard down. There may be other conspiracies in the future," said An Lingrong.

"That's right, we must always stay sober and not give those with ill intentions any opportunity to take advantage of us," Zhen Huan said.

"We must continue to maintain harmony in the harem. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we sisters must face them together." Mei Zhuang said firmly.

"Yes! We must overcome difficulties together like this time and make the harem full of warmth." Chun'er said with a smile.

In this complicated harem, Zhen Huan and others uphold their friendship and guard the peace of the harem in the face of challenges again and again. Their story continues, and new tests are quietly approaching.
