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

Shu Dong paused, "I was too young at the time, and I couldn't help but miss home. I thought that if I could enter the palace, I could send more money home and help the master and his wife."

Shu Dong brought a thin blanket and covered Jiang Ruyin with it, then continued, "Later, my family members passed away, and I stayed in the palace."

"If you have the chance, will you still enter the palace?"

Shu Dong's expression was slightly gloomy, but she still smiled faintly and said, "The present situation is the result of thousands of choices. Everything we are experiencing now is the best outcome."

Jiang Ruyin sniffed and nodded.

Then he lay back and took a long breath.

Shu Dong brought paper and pen to Jiang Ruyin, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This is the imperial Yuanmingyuan. You are the Concubine Fang of the Qing Dynasty. Here, the emperor and his subjects come first, and then the family."

Jiang Ruyin said "hmm" softly, calmed down, and picked up the pen to write.

I sternly rebuked my father for his recent sudden generosity and told him not to cut off the porridge supply for the time being, but to go to temples and other places to worship Buddha and burn incense more often. Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, he just had to give it a try.

He also specifically mentioned the matter of the unpatterned plaque as a warning. This was also a heavy stone weighing on Jiang Ruyin's heart after she learned about this.

As for the matter of Jiang Zhe's residence, Jiang Ruyin gave two options, either for Jiang's father to become a member of the royal family, or to find an official position for Jiang Zhe's residence.

At the same time, he asked his father whether he cared more about power or wealth.

Putting down the brush, Jiang Ruyin suddenly felt more enlightened. Even if his father had objections to this warning, with his mother around, nothing serious would go wrong.

After sealing the envelope, he handed it to Shu Dong, who gently advised Jiang Ruyin to go to bed early, then extinguished the candle and went out.

......

......

We came to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. We had already visited most of it earlier. The hottest day of summer had just passed, but the heat wave was still lingering. Even though the scenery of the Old Summer Palace was the best in the world, everyone was lazy and didn't like to go out.

The emperor was very fond of An Lingrong's singing voice. No matter who he favored, he would summon her to accompany him whenever he had free time.

The emperor has always been generous. The newly presented floating brocade, a rare treasure, was given to An Lingrong in all five pieces.

An Lingrong also learned her lesson and gave a horse to the Queen, Concubine Hua, Jiang Ruyin and Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan accepted the satin with an indifferent expression and casually gave the shimmering brocade to her maid Huanbi.

These days, Concubine Hua, Jiang Ruyin, Zhen Huan, and An Lingrong have been taking turns to perform, and even Borjigit Guiren and Lou Yonger have been summoned.

There was a roar of thunder that day, and the emperor specially rushed from Qingliang Palace to Changchun Fairy Pavilion, which made Zhen Huan's deep love reach its peak.

What followed was the blossoming of a hundred flowers, which made Zhen Huan feel quite uneasy. She kept reminding herself that the emperor, who was far superior to ordinary people, could not be with only her.

Jiang Ruyin was quite surprised to see the color. She praised An Lingrong for her thoughtfulness and asked someone to put the floating brocade away.

Floating brocade is often brightly colored, but such bright materials are no longer what Jiang Ruyin likes now.

The next afternoon, Jiang Ruyin took the sixth prince Hongxuan out to pay his respects to the emperor.

On the way, he happened to see Huanbi parading through the streets wearing clothes made of floating brocade.

The maidservant beside Huanbi is Pei'er. She was originally a maid assigned to Zhen Huan by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Earlier, when Zhen Huan was punished, she had criticized Liu Zhu. Then, when Zhen Huan was demoted, she temporarily left the East Wing Palace. After Zhen Huan returned to her position as a constant concubine, she was transferred back.

Liuzhu had no way out, so Pei'er had to spare no effort to please Huanbi.

Huanbi was very proud. She raised her orchid finger and held the handkerchief and asked, "Who do you think looks better in this dress, me or Miss Lingrong?"

This made Pei'er curl her lips, but she continued, "They are similar, but Sister Huanbi's earrings are more outstanding. Are they new gifts from the young lady?"

Pei'er changed the subject, but Huanbi didn't respond. She was smug about having won over An Lingrong and continued to vent her dissatisfaction: "She originally came from a poor family. No matter how good the material is, it would be wasted on her."

These words happened to reach An Lingrong's ears. Baozhi, who was jealous of An Lingrong, immediately frowned and angrily scolded Huanbi with all her might.

The brocade is soft and smooth, delicate to the touch, and has a gentle sheen, resembling the shimmering light on the surface of water, hence the name "Floating Light Brocade." The one given to Zhen Huan was An Lingrong's favorite peach red, while the one given to Concubine Hua was a rose red with a more purple hue.

An Lingrong secretly picked out a blushing one for Jiang Ruyin.

Colorful sleeves are holding the jade bell attentively, and the face was red when she was drunk. The moon in the heart of the willow-shaped building is dancing low, and the wind under the peach blossom fan is singing.

The short word "flushed" brings to mind a beautiful woman who is slightly tipsy, with a blush on her face.

Therefore, Jiang Ruyin was quite surprised.

An Lingrong fell in love with the peach-red floating brocade and stared at it for a long time as soon as she got it. How could she have made a mistake?

"It would have been fine if Concubine Wan had given it to a palace maid, but why did she give it to such a presumptuous palace maid? She has made you feel uncomfortable for no reason." Baozhi looked indignant and singled out Huanbi for criticism, and only brought Zhen Huan into the picture at the end.

An Lingrong clutched her handkerchief, her heart beating fast. Every word Baozhi said entered her ears and touched her heart.

Lian Fuqiu frowned, "She's wearing a pink dress but green underwear. She's made such a fine material like Fuguangjin look vulgar."

Floating Light Brocade was a tribute from the Jiangnan region. Jiang Ruyin had heard of it long ago, and when she was still waiting to be married, she used all sorts of tricks to get a piece of it. Even here, there were only five pieces in total.

Jiang Ruyin watched coldly and said with a smile, "The Emperor likes Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan is used to seeing good things, so naturally she doesn't take it seriously."

Qinzheng Hall,

The emperor had finally finished reviewing the memorials from the northwest and was overjoyed. However, after listening to a song sung by An Lingrong, he felt drowsy.

When Su Peisheng saw that Jiang Ruyin had brought the Sixth Prince with her, he hurriedly informed the emperor and woke him up.

When Jiang Ruyin came in, the emperor was leaning on the beauty couch, pressing his eyebrows.

Jiang Ruyin handed Hongxuan to Fu Qiu and stepped forward to massage the emperor's shoulders.

The emperor raised his eyelids slightly, lingering for a second on Jiang Ruyin's painting of distant mountains. "It's so hot, but Hongxuan doesn't cry or make a fuss. You're so thoughtful and you've taken good care of him."

He raised his head and leaned on Jiang Ruyin's arms. "After reviewing the memorials, I felt refreshed and wanted to take a short rest."

Jiang Ruyin chuckled, "I was afraid that Hongxuan would cause trouble for the Emperor, so I made sure he made enough trouble at Rugu Hanjin before I dared to bring him here."

"You are thoughtful." The emperor's voice gradually became weaker, and he closed his eyes peacefully. Jiang Ruyin let him sleep soundly in his arms.

He raised his hand and signaled Fu Qiu to take Hongxuan to the side hall.

It was not until sunset that the emperor slowly woke up, full of energy.

"What time is it?"

"It's the evening hour." Jiang Ruyin responded

"Well, that's perfect. I'll take you and Hongxuan to visit the Empress Dowager."
