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

These days, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan seem to be getting back together, and Lou Yong'er is elusive again.

An Lingrong was no longer the little concubine she was when she first entered the palace. Upon hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Lou Yonger. Then she heard Jiang Ruyin say:

"That Lou Changzai is really lucky, but be careful. If you can't control your mouth, you might never see it again."

Lou Yong'er was stunned, obviously not expecting Jiang Ruyin to say this. She bit her lip and looked at Zhen Huan with a wronged look.

Zhen Huan's expression was calm. She met Lou Yong'er's gaze and frowned slightly, obviously disapproving.

Concubine Hua chuckled and continued, "What is Lou Changzai looking at Wan Guiren for? Could it be that Wan Guiren is dissatisfied with Qian Changzai's favor and is deliberately giving instructions?"

Zhen Huan had no choice but to accept this heavy hat. She stood up and bowed, saying neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Excellency Hua Fei, your words are too serious. Lou Changzai is younger after all, and she didn't know how to handle the seriousness of her words, so she was scolded by Your Excellency Fang Pin. I was just at a loss for what to do."

Jiang Ruyin narrowed her eyes. Was she going to make a choice between An Lingrong and Lou Yonger?

An Lingrong looked a little gloomy.

Lou Yong'er has been acting stupid for so long that she thinks she has grasped the essence of palace fighting - pretending to be stupid. In fact, she just sees whether others care or not.

Concubine Hua sat, Zhen Huan stood. One looked down with head held high, the other lowered with eyebrows lowered. Even if Zhen Huan was calm and composed, she still lost in momentum.

"It seems that Concubine Wan is indeed the backbone of Concubine Lou. I would have thought that Concubine Wan was the master of the harem."

Hua Fei only had time to say this before she was interrupted by the Queen.

The queen watched for a while, then gave them each fifty lashes of the cane and told them to disperse.

The fifth day of August is the White Dew, which is a good day for offering sacrifices, bathing, taking up office, and traveling.

The trip to the Old Summer Palace ended and he returned to the palace.

The three people who stayed in the palace were led by Concubine Cheng and were waiting in front of the palace gate.

Jiang Ruyin looked at the plump and beautiful girl raised by Concubine Cheng, but Qiu Changzai looked haggard and seemed to have been tortured.

The emperor said a few words of concern to Concubine Cheng, then left with the empress.

Jiang Ruyin muttered in a moderately loud voice, "Chun Changzai seems to have grown up."

Chun Changzai was overjoyed and kept saying sweet words to please her. Jiang Ruyin just smiled.

At this time, Yuan Beishan had already moved all the people from Shuiyuxuan into Yongshou Palace.

As night fell, Jiang Ruyin entered the Yongshou Palace in a sedan chair.

In late summer and early autumn, when temperatures alternated between cold and warm, An Lingrong caught a cold and became almost unable to speak, so the emperor stopped seeing her.

Lou Yong'er, however, managed to catch the emperor's eye again.

Jiang Ruyin hid in Yongshou Palace and did not go out.

In the harem, only Zhen Huan and Lou Yong'er could match Concubine Hua's favor.

An Lingrong visited Jiang Ruyin, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xin. Finally, she embroidered a nightgown with a golden dragon and clouds and sent it to the Yangxin Palace.

Taking advantage of Lou Yong'er's company, An Lingrong set foot in Chunxi Palace for the first time.

As soon as I entered Shou'an Gate, I heard shouting and sobbing.

An Lingrong looked in the direction of the voice and saw two palace maids. One of them was older and more mature, standing with her hands on her hips, while the other, dressed in pink, was kneeling on the ground crying, both with mean looks on their faces.

The old maid bowed and saluted immediately upon seeing An Lingrong. "I don't know which master you are, but Lady Wan is currently in Chunxi Palace."

An Lingrong was slightly surprised. It turned out that without her knowing, the emperor had already asked Zhen Huan to move into the Chunxi Palace in front of the Xuanshou Hall.

An Lingrong nodded, "I'm here to visit Sister Wan."

When the old palace maid heard An Lingrong's address, she seemed to lose all her strength and her flattering spirit.

Below the noble ladies, apart from Lou Da Ying, there is Qian Changzai who has just fallen out of favor.

The old maid didn't even want to pass on the message and continued to teach another maid a lesson.

An Lingrong went to Chunxi Palace on her own. Before she even entered, she heard Zhen Huan and Chun Chang flirting.

"How about Chun'er move in with Sister Wan? Concubine Fang is gone, and Sister Wan is gone too. Chun'er feels so lonely. Is Sister Wan lonely too?"

Zhen Huan fell silent and gently lifted the lid, "Look at this jasmine powder..."

An Lingrong smiled knowingly and pushed the door open. "I don't have any sunflower powder. It's white, but it's not fragrant enough."

Zhen Huan was pleasantly surprised, "Lingrong, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come and sit down."

After they had been playing around for a while, Chun Changzai suddenly mentioned the incident of sleeping with him last night.

He said, "Is the emperor white?"

An Lingrong suddenly realized something, and glanced at Zhen Huan inconspicuously, sighing in her heart. It was indeed the Concubine Hua who was so angry that Lou Yong'er alone was not enough, and even Fang Jia Chunyi had to sleep with her.

Chun Changzai mentioned the nightgown embroidered with a golden dragon and clouds by An Lingrong.

An Lingrong's eyes lit up, "And then?"

"If you like this dress, I'll have someone wring it out for you." Then she took it off and changed into a nightgown with a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl.

Concubine Chun imitated the emperor in a quirky way, which made An Lingrong dejected.

"The Emperor also said that he particularly likes the material used in the game 'Two Dragons Fighting for the Pearl'."

"I know what clothes are made for what kind of people."

Starting with "Is the emperor white?", she still couldn't explain it clearly in the end. Cui Jinxi looked at Fang Jiachunyi.

After staying in Chunxi Palace for a while, An Lingrong stood up to say goodbye. On her way from the West Six Palaces, she passed by Xianfu Palace. Looking at the magnificent plaque of Xianfu Palace, An Lingrong said, "Let's go see Concubine Shen."

Cunju Hall no longer has the glory of the past.

As the sun gradually fell, only a few candles were lit in Cunju Hall. The room was dim, as if swallowed by darkness.

Shen Meizhuang was reading a book in the dim candlelight on the armchair.

An Lingrong took a few steps forward and said softly, "Sister Mei."

Right where An Lingrong is now, there used to be two double-layered exquisite pagoda palace lanterns, each one meter tall.

......

......

That night,

"Why are you staring at me?" The emperor asked for water and changed into his pajamas.

Jiang Ruyin lay on the soft pillow, looking at the pattern of two dragons fighting for a pearl, as if she saw Chun Changzai imitating the emperor in a strange way.

She chuckled softly, "Your Highness, the pattern on your body is novel."

The emperor came over and pressed Jiang Ruyin's waist. Jiang Ruyin snorted, "Except for the melon-shaped hat that Hongxuan and I made together, you have never made clothes for me."

The emperor looked down at the stitches and said, "There's nothing new about this."

Jiang Ruyin curled her lips, "I'm not good at sewing. I know it's appropriate for Your Majesty to use dragon patterns, but this is the first time I've seen Your Majesty wearing a garment with two dragons on it. Two five-clawed golden dragons fighting for a pearl. It's very strange."

The emperor didn't even need to think about it. He frowned and changed out of his pajamas immediately.

Jiang Ruyin blinked, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

The emperor said casually, "If the people below don't do their work carefully, you will laugh at me." He stretched out his hand to poke Jiang Ruyin's shoulder.

Jiang Ruyin rolled around, avoiding the emperor's hand, and covered half of her face with the colorful quilt, revealing only her delicate eyebrows and eyes. "Then how will the emperor punish me?"

The emperor's breathing stopped and he rushed forward again.
