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

The Queen glanced at her sideways. "You've never seen Queen Chunyuan dance this way, so how do you know how it performs? And how can you compare it to Concubine Wan's dance?"

Concubine Wen knew she had spoken out of turn and quickly tried to make amends, "It was my fault. I only heard about it from hearsay. I regret not being able to see the late Queen dance."

The emperor interrupted, "Well, you've been working hard today, and I'm very happy to receive such a surprise. You've been dancing for so long, aren't you tired?"

Zhen Huan naturally replied that she was not tired. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, she complimented Queen Chun Yuan, whom she had never met before.

The emperor was satisfied. "The one playing the zither is Consort Hui Shen, the one singing is Consort Qian. The ones dancing are Consort Wan Zhen and Lady Lou."

"Reward them all!"

Zhen Huan looked up in surprise, and heard the emperor continue, "Noble Lady Zhen, why don't you come sit next to me?"

Finally, he noticed that Cao Qinmo was still standing there stiffly. "Noble Lady Wen has served me for a long time and is the princess' biological mother. She should be promoted to the position of concubine."

Concubine Xin covered her face silently, and Concubine Wen didn't even bother to express her surprise and gratitude at Concubine Hua's extremely bad expression.

Hua Fei's poem "Loudong Fu" touched people's hearts and moved even the emperor.

Prince Dun spoke again, and the emperor gradually calmed down. He looked at Concubine Hua and said, "Qingliang Palace is a good place. Are you used to living here?"

Hua Fei was still crying. When she heard the emperor's concern, she hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern. Your Majesty specially pointed out the Qingliang Palace for me. I like it very much. But without Your Majesty's visit, I feel lonely."

The emperor nodded upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I know all your feelings."

…………

Zhen Huan waited outside the palace for the emperor to summon her.

Somehow, every word of what the emperor, Zhang Tingyu and others were saying about Concubine Hua, her brother and the war in the northwest reached Zhen Huan's ears clearly.

Su Peisheng came to invite, "My lady, please come in."

Zhen Huan put away her thoughts, straightened her expression, and then stepped inside.

The emperor stroked his forehead and said, "I have a terrible headache. Come and rub it for me."

Zhen Huan took off her armor and whispered, "The Emperor is worried."

"How do you know?" the emperor said in a low voice.

Zhen Huan's mind was full of thoughts, and she changed the subject by talking about menthol oil.

The emperor mentioned that the harem was part of the world.

Zhen Huan understood the meaning of the music and tentatively said, "The Empress is in charge of all matters in the harem alone. It's time for someone to share her worries."

"What do you think."

Zhen Huan's heart sank, but she still said: Concubine Hua.

The emperor felt relieved and took Zhen Huan's hand, saying, "You've been wronged by Concubine Hua's matter. I don't blame you. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Zhen Huan looked at the man who often looked tired despite being the master of the world, and said, "As long as it's for the Emperor, I have no grievances."

The emperor was deeply touched, and the two of them had a tender moment.

As he watched Zhen Huan leave, the Emperor sighed, "As for matters concerning the former imperial court and the harem, Concubine Fang is ultimately inferior to Concubine Wan."

Su Peisheng smiled in sympathy, "Your Majesty, Concubine Fang is from the common people after all. All she thinks about is you, Your Majesty. How can she understand the affairs of the previous dynasty? Moreover, with the Sixth Prince around, Concubine Fang will inevitably lack the energy to be loyal to Your Majesty. Concubine Wan is intelligent, but Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent!"

The emperor pointed at him and smiled. "You, you only know how to say flattering words. Concubine Fang is smart and knows how to please me, which is something Concubine Wan doesn't have. Let's go to Rugu Hanjin."

As the sun sets in the west, it is time to be lazy.

Jiang Ruyin had taken off all her hairpins and jewelry and was only focused on entertaining Hongxuan.

Hongxuan was waving a long string of beads studded with various gemstones and agates in his chubby little hands, laughing foolishly. Every time he wanted to put the beads in his mouth, Jiang Ruyin pulled him back.

Whenever this happened, Hongxuan would pout and arch his round little head forward like a rooster about to crow. Jiang Ruyin would laugh so hard that she would fall over.

"It doesn't seem like you are teasing Hongxuan, but rather Hongxuan is teasing you." The emperor put his mind at ease and strode in with a smile.

Jiang Ruyin only half turned her head and said angrily, "The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs, and I can only take care of Hongxuan and Rugu Hanjin. And the emperor still wants to laugh at me."

The kang seat was split into two sides, and the emperor didn't sit on one side. Instead, he sat down right next to Jiang Ruyin, holding her in his arms. His big hands kneaded Jiang Ruyin's lower abdomen dishonestly.

"I came to see you as soon as I finished my work. I always think of you."

The burning breath sprayed on the tip of her ear. Jiang Ruyin softened her body and fell into the emperor's arms, soft as a boneless bone. Her eyes were as charming as silk. "Thank you, Your Majesty - I pay my respects to Your Majesty..."

The emperor had just started to have some romantic thoughts when he caught a glimpse of Hongxuan out of the corner of his eye.

Hongxuan opened his mouth wide, reaching for Jiang Ruyin's hand with one hand and touching the emperor's hand with the other.

"Ah!"

The emperor glanced at the object in Jiang Ruyin's hand, his eyes dark, and asked with a smile, "Why did you think of giving this to Hongxuan to play with?"

Jiang Ruyin grabbed the court beads and threw them back. Hongxuan's eyes lit up and he tried to grab them. Just when he was about to catch them, Jiang Ruyin seemed to have eyes on her back and retracted her hands.

Hongxuan missed the opportunity and used her little pink fist to softly hit the emperor's hand on Jiang Ruyin's waist.

The emperor withdrew his hand.

Jiang Ruyin didn't seem to care at all, with a resentful look in her eyes, "You don't know, I gave all of Rugu Hanjin's safe things to Hongxuan to play with, including these court beads. There are only a few left."

The emperor smiled and said, "Is that so?" Then he shook the emerald jade beads that he often played with in front of Hongxuan.

Hongxuan instantly became alert, raised his claws to grab it, caught it in one go, and stuffed it into his mouth the next moment.

Jiang Ruyin quickly pulled it down and glared at the emperor angrily.

The emperor laughed. "Hongxuan is only six months old, and is in the teething stage. Perhaps he is curious about these beads."

He hugged Jiang Ruyin again, took the bracelet and handed it to Hongxuan.

This time, Hongxuan didn't put the bracelet in his mouth. Instead, he lifted it up by the drooping tassel and shook it. The emperor tilted his head. Hongxuan shook it again, and the emperor tilted his head again.

Jiang Ruyin said unhappily, "The Emperor is still talking about me."

The emperor was amused and hooked Jiang Ruyin's chin. "Hongxuan is adorable. I really like him. He's your child, and I like him even more."

The emperor's eyes became increasingly dangerous.

"Wow~"

It was Hongxuan who bared his newly emerged baby teeth, shook his bracelet with all his might, and looked at the emperor with anticipation.
