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

In the end, it was Concubine Jing who led the concubines to stand up and praise the virtuous Queen.

After the concubines sat down again, the Queen chatted with Concubine Hua about palace affairs. No one else could get a word in.

Lady Wen, who was sitting below Jiang Ruyin, tilted her head and chatted with Jiang Ruyin about some things that children should be careful of.

Jiang Ruyin knew that although Wen Yi, the daughter of Concubine Wen, was adopted by Concubine Hua and had been raised by her side when she was young, she nodded and accepted her kindness.

Jiang Ruyin was sitting diagonally opposite Concubine Jing. Due to seating constraints, she was unable to chat with Jiang Ruyin. When she saw Jiang Ruyin looking at her, she smiled and nodded.

Jiang Ruyin smiled back and yawned lazily.

The Queen, as if observing all directions and listening to all ears, saw it at a glance and said with a smile, "We have talked for a long time today. I see that Concubine Fang is tired. So let's go back first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hua squatted briefly as a gesture of greeting and walked away.

Jiang Ruyin wasn't as blatant as Concubine Hua, nor did she actually squat to greet him. She just bent her knees and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I'll take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he left without caring about the Queen and Concubine Qi who was standing there in embarrassment, half unable to get up.

Yu Ying'er, who was sitting at the end, wished she could shrink into a quail. Looking at Jiang Ruyin's back, a hint of jealousy and envy flashed in her eyes.

Shu Dong followed the sedan chair and, seeing it approaching the territory of Suiyuxuan, he whispered, "Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too ostentatious to not give the Empress face now? It might bring disaster."

Jiang Ruyin changed her posture and leaned back, saying calmly, "If I behave submissively, disaster may not necessarily avoid me."

Shu Dong knew that this was indeed the case, and then he kept silent.

Fu Qiu on the side rarely disagreed with Shu Dong's opinion. Although the queen had a bit of a temper in the past, she was also cautious in dealing with people. Since she became pregnant, how many dirty things have come around her?

After entering the Suiyuxuan, Fu Qiu habitually glanced at the east and west side halls.

The door to the west wing hall was closed, presumably Chun Changzai hadn't gotten up yet. However, the door to the east wing hall was half-closed, indicating that Wan Yingda, who had been silent for a long time, had begun to move again.

The concubines who had never served the emperor in bed did not have to pay their respects every day, which allowed the younger concubines to be more relaxed.

Jiang Ruyin, who had been walking with her eyes half-closed, also glanced at the East Hall at this time.

Yu Ying'er has started to seek death, how long will it take for her to gain Zhen Huan's favor?

The Complaint of Xiang Fei, the Granted Bath in Hot Springs, the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Candles, the Palace on Fire...

Jiang Ruyin sighed. How should she deal with this audacious woman?

The future empress dowager?

I don’t think so.

Jiang Ruyin is not lacking in courage or insight, otherwise she would not have dared to challenge Concubine Hua in such grief.

In this life, protecting her children and ensuring her parents' safety is Jiang Ruyin's minimum requirement for herself.

How could one not be favored after entering the palace? How could one not be above everyone else after being favored? How could one not reach the highest position of honor after being above everyone else?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruyin did not feel depressed, but was full of fighting spirit.

The next day, the emperor came to Suiyuxuan for lunch, then went to Hua Fei's place for one day and Shen Meiyu's place for another day. Finally, the day came for the "return of the jade intact to Zhao".

Seeing Shen Meizhuang entering the east wing hall, Jiang Ruyin withdrew her hand that was patting Hongxuan's back.

Just as he withdrew his hand, Hongxuan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly turned over.

The atmosphere in the room became quiet for a few moments, and Jiang Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh..." Jiang Ruyin waved her hand and walked out first.

In front of the Suiyuxuan gate, the sedan chair has been prepared.

Jiang Ruyin is now at the peak of her career. The young eunuchs walked quickly and steadily, and arrived outside the gate of the Yanx Palace in about an incense stick of time.

The little palace maid guarding the door was suddenly startled and hurriedly got up to report the news.

Jiang Ruyin frowned as she watched the little palace maid rush into the main hall as if she was in a hurry to be reincarnated.

After walking a few steps closer, I heard the chattering of palace maids and eunuchs sweeping the floor.

Suo Chun took the lead and stepped forward, "You slaves, you keep talking dirty all day long, and you even dare to make up stories about the young master!"

After these words were spoken, the servants, who were already in the wrong, saw Suochun's bright palace maid's attire and immediately knelt down to apologize.

Jiang Ruyin stroked the magpie-like hairpin on her temples and said casually, "A slave is too powerful to bully his master. After all, there is no master in the Yanxi Palace. Although the Xinzheku has no master, the nanny there is an expert in training people. It's a good place for you guys to go."

The servants below immediately wailed.

There was silence in the side hall. A woman with simple clothes and a short bun hairstyle poked her head out from under her half-hidden body.

At first glance, I thought it was a favored maid in some palace, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be An Da Ying.

Seeing it was Jiang Ruyin, An Lingrong lowered her eyes, knelt down obediently and bowed, saying, "Your concubine greets Concubine Fang."

Jiang Ruyin walked straight into the house and gave him a gentle hand, "Get up quickly."

It was not until Jiang Ruyin sat down at the table that An Lingrong took a few steps closer timidly.

"I didn't know your Majesty was coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you'll forgive me."

Jiang Ruyin glanced at her and chuckled, "I don't like to hear that. Witty remarks should be given to the right people."

An Lingrong flinched and spoke even softer, "I'm afraid I won't have this chance anymore."

Jiang Ruyin just laughed, "What nonsense! If the sun never sets, how can the weather never change? Even the sky can change, let alone people's thoughts?"

An Lingrong seemed to have rarely heard such novel statements. She looked up and then quickly lowered her head.

Jiang Ruyin knew that this could not be solved with just a few words.

"Look at you, you little thing. This is your bedroom, why are you still standing?"

An Lingrong replied yes and sat in the seat farthest away from Jiang Ruyin.

An Lingrong was not a talkative person either. Jiang Ruyin seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally withdrawn her gaze and looked around boredly.

That is?

"Ordinary concubines would like to wear good things every day after getting them, but why did you hide this precious jade table and golden cup in a corner?" Jiang Ruyin asked.

An Lingrong pulled the corners of her mouth into an unpleasant smile, "I, ah, I don't have any use for such a nice thing now, so I just put it in a corner."

Jiang Ruyin continued, "Being valuable is a good thing, but not everything valuable is necessarily good."

Jiang Ruyin raised her finger, and Suochun understood and moved the jade table and golden cup to the table.

Her green fingertips scratched the delicate petals. "It's a pity that such a beautiful flower is poisonous. At the very least, it will make you shiver and itch, and at the worst, it will make you have difficulty breathing..."

"Clap!"

The cups fell to the ground.

An Lingrong was shocked and realized that she had lost her composure.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Just now, Your Majesty said that the Jade Platform Golden Cup was poisonous?"

Jiang Ruyin casually picked one and said, as if reminiscing, "I remember when I was pregnant..."
