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

The emperor had previously said that he would marry Princess Heshuo Gonghe first, but a few days later, the Junggar tribe came with a fast horse to send news that they had changed their request to marry a legitimate princess to just one princess in marriage.

Therefore, the day when Princess Heshuo Gonghe Duolan got married was the day when the unfortunate woman was conferred the title of Princess Heshuo Gongshen.

The emperor acted as if there was no grudge between them. He ignored the tearful Concubine Gong, took Jiang Ruyin's hand and returned to the palace.

"The Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources, so we have many more concerns than Dzungar." The emperor sighed.

Jiang Ruyin looked at him with watery eyes, "Your Majesty always cares about Hongxuan, I remember it all."

"Yes, Hongning is a bit weaker. As an elder brother, Hongxuan cares for his younger brother, and as a younger brother, he is considerate of his elder brother." A hint of nostalgia flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said softly, "As far as I can remember, only my fifth brother has such a heart."

Jiang Ruyin blinked, "It's Prince Heng who was the envoy who conferred the title on my concubine's behalf last time. I don't know what Prince Heng's character is like, but since the emperor praised him, I think he must be a man of noble character."

The emperor used to call his brothers "Old Eighth," "Old Nine," "Old Seventeen," and so on. This was the first time in Jiang Ruyin's past and present lives that she had ever heard the emperor address someone as "brother," and she immediately agreed. The emperor said nothing more, simply holding Jiang Ruyin's hand tightly.

I don’t know what he was thinking. Jiang Ruyin was held so tightly that it hurt. She tried to pull her hand back but failed. The emperor didn’t come back to his senses either.

......

This was the first time that Concubine Hua had paid a visit to the whole palace after returning to the position of concubine. She was wearing the same crimson velvet-edged waistcoat she wore last year. Her face had lost its former radiance, and she sat there in deep thought.

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan looked at each other and saw the displeasure in each other's eyes. Lou Yong'er sat there expressionless, supporting herself on the arm of the chair with one hand and stroking her pregnant belly with the other.

Concubine Hua looked at her plain and elegant nail polish without looking away.

Concubine Qi was unsure of the Emperor's attitude towards Concubine Hua, so she turned her gaze to Noble Lady Gong. "Hey, Noble Lady Gong, what's wrong? Princess Gonghe is getting married, and why are your eyes turning blue?"

Concubine Gong touched her face embarrassedly and said, "I am so happy. I am just a little unaccustomed to being alone."

Jiang Ruyin walked out from behind the pearl curtain. "How is the new palace maid? Is she still dedicated?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Jia'er is very gentle and I like her very much." Concubine Gong stood up and bowed. The pretty palace maid behind her also bowed to Jiang Ruyin with a smile.

Jiang Ruyin sat down at the main seat and looked at the empty seat opposite Concubine Hua. "Concubine Duan is sick again. What a pity! I heard that Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua were very good sisters in the past. What a pity."

Hua Fei sneered and said lazily, "It's not a pity. I will go to see her in person."

Concubine Hua smiled, but there was a coldness in her eyes.

Zhen Huan frowned.

Concubine Hua turned her head and looked at Zhen Huan dimly, "Sister Fang Fei is indeed quite capable. Even the sharp-tongued Concubine Wan has learned her lesson."

As if to refute Concubine Hua's words, Zhen Huan said, "The Emperor has already said that no one should be held accountable for what happened that day. Madam Hua, may I ask why you are so sharp-tongued?"

"I am now able to get the hang of palace affairs, all thanks to the assistance of Concubine Jing. Sister Hua Fei, please feel free to give me some advice in the future." Jiang Ruyin said.

As if they had agreed, the two of them ignored Zhen Huan. "That may not be the case. My sister has been managing the six palaces very well these days, and even my Yikun Palace has been influenced by her," Hua Fei said meaningfully.

Jiang Ruyin avoided answering. After Jiang Ruyin called everyone away, Concubine Hua was still sitting calmly on the carved Huanghuali wood chair.

What’s funny is that Concubine Qi had already stood up when she heard Jiang Ruyin calling everyone to leave, but when she saw that Concubine Hua didn’t leave, she sat down again.

So all the beautiful girls just sat there in the room, but Jiang Ruyin didn't care. She pretended not to see anything and went straight back to the inner room.

"Your Majesty, Wen Yi hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you very much. Why don't I take Wen Yi to your place to have a visit?" Wenpin suggested.

Concubine Hua frowned and looked at the direction Jiang Ruyin left. "I understand. Let's go."

After saying that, she left with her sleeves swinging wildly. Her sleeves almost hit Zhen Huan's face. Zhen Huan dodged back in displeasure.

"Huanbi?" Zhen Huan brought Huanbi back to her senses.

"Miss Huanbi has been distracted today. Are you envious of Princess Gonghe?" Concubine Jing turned around and joked as she reached the door.

"Ah?" When Huanbi came back to her senses, Jingpin had already disappeared at the door.

"Miss?"

Zhen Huan sighed helplessly, "Nothing, go back."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang left hand in hand. After leaving the main hall, Concubine Gong went into the inner room and was caught by Zhen Huan and others.

Shen Meizhuang sighed, "No matter who they are, they change so much after entering the palace."

"No matter what he becomes, as long as we don't change, it's fine." Zhen Huan smiled.

"......" Lou Yong'er, who was following behind the two of them, said nothing and separated from them at the corner of the palace road.

Jiang Ruyin looked up and said, "Gong Noble Lady."

Noble Lady Gong knelt and saluted, "Greetings to Her Majesty Fang Fei."

"No need to be polite, please sit down. Is there anything I can help you with, Lord Gong?" Jiang Ruyin asked with a pleasant face.

"Your Majesty, please call me Tara." Concubine Gong sat down with a bold gesture, one arm casually resting on the table, her upper body close to Jiang Ruyin, "I have said that if Your Majesty can really do it, I will obey your orders." She said seriously.

Looking at Tara's free and easy movements, Jiang Ruyin suddenly felt like a newlywed bride. She unconsciously relaxed her body and leaned on the small table.

"She is not your sister, nor is she from your Nine Banners. Is she important to you?" Jiang Ruyin asked.

People seem to like to empty their minds when reminiscing. Gong Guiren's eyes were empty, and she said:

"Yes, I am the daughter of the Lord of the Ninth Banner, and she is a servant of the Seventh Banner. We first met when we were nine years old."
