The Legend of Zhen Huan Reborn: Overthrowing Zhen Huan to Become the Queen Mother

(Don’t delete your comments, my dears. It doesn’t matter if the feedback has been revised. I really like interacting with you. No matter whether what I say is good or bad, I will feel recognized because you read it and are willing to leave a few words. Love you)

Jiang Ruyin read the imperial edict in a serious manner, then said with a smile, "Princess Jing, please accept the edict."

Jingpin was overwhelmed by this happy event. She felt both surprised and frightened. Even when she held the gift in her own hand, she still felt it was unreal.

Jiang Ruyin tilted her head, "Sister, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

Jingpin smiled and stepped aside, "Oh, I am so happy that I am confused. Your Majesty, please come in. Ruyi, come and serve the tea."

In the East Side Hall, Shen Meizhuang frowned as she listened to the silence in the Main Hall. "Is Concubine Fang trying to win over Concubine Jing? I have to go tell Huan'er."

Hanzhu and Suochun, who were guarding outside the main hall, watched Shen Meizhuang leave.

Jiang Ruyin's nose twitched slightly, and she put down the teacup in surprise. "Sister Jingpin has extraordinary taste. This seems to be a lucky tea from Fujian Province."

Jingpin smiled sheepishly, "Your Majesty is truly knowledgeable. I also recently got this kind of tea by chance. It has a unique taste, so I prefer it."

Jiang Ruyin nodded in understanding. "Yes, everyone has preferences. Today it's Jili tea, tomorrow it's Pu'er, and the day after tomorrow it's Biluochun. Flowers don't last forever, and the same goes for tea. Even if you have a preference, you always have to use many different teas when giving gifts or entertaining guests."

Concubine Jing seemed to be thinking about something.

"Look at me, I've lost my way. Yesterday, Wanpin recommended Duanfei to the emperor. Jingpin sister has always been careful and attentive, so why didn't she tell the emperor anything?" Jiang Ruyin said again.

Jingpin sighed, "I am used to being lazy and not a smart person. I have two elder sisters, Concubine Duan and Concubine Qi, so why should I take the risk? Please, Your Majesty, please keep me in mind."

Jiang Ruyin did not hide it, "It's not me, it's the Emperor who remembers my kindness and thinks of me often. Back in the Old Summer Palace, it was my sister who persuaded the Emperor to give the last of the mule, Dai, to Concubine Hua. It shows that my sister is the most considerate."

"My younger sister is making fun of me." Jingpin immediately relaxed.

It was not Su Peisheng who came to announce the decree, but Jiang Ruyin who came personally and talked about what she had said to the emperor before. Jingpin had no choice but to believe that this was the emperor's intention.

Jingpin thought of the rumors goings on in the palace and felt envious.

With children and favor, she was favored in both palace power and residence. Jiang Ruyin was undoubtedly like the Pu'er tea that the emperor loved to drink, which remained unchanged for many years.

When did it start?

It seems that there was no such thing in the palace...

Jiang Ruyin said seriously, "Sister Jingpin, if you don't fight or compete, how do you survive in the palace? Have you ever thought about raising a child by your side?"

Jingpin was taken aback by the sudden words, and then she smiled bitterly, "Which concubine has it easy? Who would be willing to separate mother and child..."

Jiang Ruyin watched coldly and sighed in her heart: This Jingpin is really, hard to describe. She is still considering others even in the harem.

Jiang Ruyin said bluntly, "The maid agreed that even if a child is born, she won't be able to raise it due to her position. Rather than leaving the child in the distant Nan San Suo, it would be better to give it to a high-ranking concubine to raise. If there is an assistant, whether it is a prince or a princess, it will always be much better."

The true intention was revealed, and Jingpin looked at Jiang Ruyin cautiously.

With a wry smile, Concubine Jing lowered her voice, "Your Majesty is right."

Jiang Ruyin pinched the lid of the cup and scraped the foam from it. "The harem is the emperor's harem. Until the end, everyone is just a vassal. Anyway, Jingpin, please think about it. Tomorrow, when you are free, Yongshou Palace will prepare tea and snacks for you to enjoy at any time."

The next day, the whole palace had just held a regular meeting the day before, and the couple had three days of rest.

Jingpin arrived very early and almost stepped into Yongshou Gate facing the rising sun.

Jiang Ruyin closed her eyes and leaned in Fu Qiu's arms, while Fu Qiu struggled to comb her hair.

"Why so early~" a muffled voice came from his arms, and Fu Qiu shuddered.

"Oh! Just tie your hair into a regular bun." Jiang Ruyin loosened Fu Qiu and took a jade hairpin and tried it on her hair with sleepy eyes.

Jiang Ruyin wore a simple and elegant dress made of soft, moon-white silk. The fabric was light and smooth, swaying gently with her steps. The cuffs were embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, outlined with fine silver thread. A layer of gauze covered the dress, shimmering faintly in the brightly lit room.

Her black hair was as black as ink, tied up in a crooked bun. A jade hairpin was inserted diagonally into her hair. The hairpin was smooth and lustrous, gleaming softly in the sunlight, and the delicate orchid pattern carved on it could be faintly seen.

"No need to be polite, let's have dinner together." Jiang Ruyin smiled at her and sat down at the table.

Only then did Jingpin stand up stiffly and sit on her left.

The child always goes to bed early and gets up early. Now he follows Shu Dong in with great energy.

"Mother!" Hong Xuan took small steps and threw himself into Jiang Ruyin's arms, pointing his little finger at the breakfast on the table, "Hungry~"

Jiang Ruyin touched Hongxuan's soft hair, "Okay, come, call me Concubine Jing." She hugged Hongxuan's back and pushed him towards Concubine Jing.

Hongxuan called out obediently, and before Jingpin could show any joy, he looked longingly at the dishes on the table.

A trace of desolation flashed across Jingpin's eyes, and she smiled helplessly, "Sixth Prince is so cute."

Hongxuan got to eat the fish porridge as he wished. He waved his little hands excitedly in the air and his face was red like a ripe fruit.

Hongxuan stretched out his little hand again, pointed to something not far away, and said vaguely: "Fish, fish, look at the fish."

Jingpin looked in the direction of his finger and saw a plate of buns shaped like little fish with wagging tails. Jingpin picked up one.

Hongxuan clapped his hands excitedly and giggled.

Jingpin placed it on the small plate in front of Hongxuan and said softly, "The little fish is so pretty, Hongxuan, please be gentle."

Hongxuan seemed to understand and nodded vigorously. He picked up a side dish with his small chopsticks and stretched out his hand to pass it to Jingpin. His shaky little hand almost shook the side dish away.

Jingpin hurriedly brought her own bowl and plate, caught the only remaining piece of vegetable heart, put it in her mouth, and immediately revealed a look of joy, "It's delicious, Hongxuan is so nice! Thank you, Hongxuan."

Hongxuan's exaggerated movements and expression amused him so much that he leaped from Nanny's arms, bowl in hand, ready to share his favorite fish porridge with Jingpin. Jingpin quickly leaned over and opened her arms to catch the reckless Hongxuan, nearly spilling the porridge onto the floor. Jingpin, unfazed, wiped Hongxuan's mouth with her own handkerchief and cradled him in her lap.

Hongxuan raised his head and blinked his big eyes at Concubine Jing, "Your Majesty, eat!"

Hongxuan held the spoon, steadily scooped out a piece of fish meat, mixed it with a few grains of rice and put it to Jingpin's mouth.

Jingpin opened her mouth in cooperation, revealing a happy expression again, "Wow, it's delicious, our Hongxuan's favorites are really different."

Holding Jingpin's sleeve, Hongxuan shook his body proudly from side to side.

"Pfft!" Jiang Ruyin laughed helplessly, "This brat, please don't mind me, Sister Jingpin."

Jingpin smiled sincerely, "How could that be? Who wouldn't like this little baby? I can't love him enough."

As she spoke, Jingpin took a small spoon and began to feed Hongxuan one spoonful at a time.

Jiang Ruyin kept Hongxuan under very strict control, rarely showing him in public except for the full month and first birthday celebrations. Wen Yi was considered the lifeblood of Concubine Wen, and with Concubine Hua around, Concubine Jing couldn't get too close. When the two lived in the same courtyard, Concubine Jing often envied Concubine Wen.

The third prince was held by Concubine Jing a long time ago. Later, almost all of Concubine Qi's children did not survive, and the only third prince was treated as a treasure by Concubine Qi.

As for Shuhe, let’s not mention her. I guess her biological mother, Concubine Xin, rarely held Shuhe in her arms.

After a hurried breakfast, Concubine Jing watched Hongxuan leave reluctantly, and she felt much more relaxed after this.

She looked at the graceful Jiang Ruyin and sighed, "Originally, I just felt that the nights were long and I wanted a cute child to be by my side. Now, I really want to have a child of my own."

Seeing Concubine Jing reveal her heart, Jiang Ruyin smiled slightly, "It's good that you have this idea, there's no need to worry about it not coming out."
