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

The atmosphere was subtle as they drank and exchanged cups.

The beautiful pear-shaped makeup on the foreheads of Zhen Huan's ladies was dazzling. When Zhen Huan appeared, countless people cast their eyes on Jiang Ruyin.

Hua Fei would drink by herself and talk to Jiang Ruyin and Wen Pin from time to time, as if she couldn't see Zhen Huan.

Prince Heng's wife, Tatara, made contact with Zhen Huan and walked towards Jiang Ruyin, "Empress Hua, Empress Fang, and Concubine Wen."

"Madam, you came so early." Jiang Ruyin nodded.

"Your Highness, Wanpin, on your birthday, the Emperor has cordially invited me. I have only just met you once, and I would like to have a few more words with you."

"The Emperor came to Yuanmingyuan specifically to celebrate Wanpin's birthday. Wasn't it out of pity that she lost her child? He even put on some pretty pear-shaped makeup.

"Hua Fei spoke slowly, and her lazy tone spread throughout the scene.

Concubine Wen echoed, "General Nian met with the Empress in front of the Qianqing Palace just over a month ago, and the Emperor personally approved it. Concubine Wan was also unlucky. She could have brought her mother over when she was eight months pregnant, but she just lost the child. No wonder the Emperor gave Madam Zhen an imperial decree."

Jiang Ruyin glanced at Concubine Wen. Her words didn't seem to be trying to please Concubine Hua, but more like trying to make Zhen Huan hate her.

Concubine Hua looked thoughtfully at Zhen Huan with a sly smile, "Isn't it? This Zhen family is really interesting. Zhen Yuandao's official position was entirely due to his daughter's favor, and Madam Zhen's imperial decree was also earned at the cost of her grandson's life."

In the past, Zhen Huan was scolded and her father was demoted. Two months ago, Zhen Huan became pregnant and her father was promoted.

Unable to stop talking any longer, Zhen Huan turned around and greeted Concubine Hua, "Empress Hua, please be careful with your words. The affairs of the previous dynasty are not for us concubines to speculate. The Emperor's intentions are not something you can say."

"That's right. Apart from Concubine Wan, who else can enter and leave the imperial study at will? Naturally, we can't say much." Concubine Wen spoke loudly, attracting the attention of the ladies.

Hua Fei sneered, her words irrelevant, "I naturally believe that your father's promotion or demotion in official rank was not due to you, just wait and see."

Zhen Huan's heart trembled, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.

The Emperor and Empress have arrived, and Zhen Huan can no longer test Concubine Hua's intentions.

As the birthday girl today, Zhen Huan sat on the emperor's right hand side.

The last time Zhen Huan was made a concubine, she was only honored within the harem. Because the ceremony for Jiang Ruyin's consorting was complex, the ladies of state watched from the Qianqing Palace. Even the Empress's lecture arrived late.

Today, Zhen Huan was still wearing the green kesi dress, while Jiang Ruyin was wearing the goose yellow Shu brocade.

The banquet began with the dancers' uniform movements.

Concubine Wen talked about the origin of the Peony Tower, and Concubine Qi mentioned the beautiful pear-shaped makeup on the foreheads of the ladies.

Concubine Wen was speechless at this point. "The Emperor painted this with his own hands. It's so full of love and affection, and you still can't see it."

Zhen Huan forced herself not to look at Jiang Ruyin, whispered a few words to the emperor, and went down to look for Shen Meiyu.

Shen Meizhuang changed into a rust-red auspicious dress and no longer had the high spirits she had when she first entered the palace.

Lou Yong'er held up her chin and asked, "Have you already started wearing the rust red color that Doctor Wen likes?"

Jiang Ruyin suddenly realized that she, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Wen were the only ones who didn't wear auspicious attire. Except for those who didn't wear auspicious attire at all, they followed suit and wore auspicious attire to attend the ceremony.

Look at Concubine Qi beside her. No matter how much she hates Zhen Huan, she still can't be tough on such a small matter.

Jiang Ruyin was helpless.

Hua Fei suddenly called out, "What do you think of Jiao Li's makeup, Concubine Fang?"

Concubine Wen immediately understood the elegant meaning of the music and was eager to try it out.

Jiang Ruyin smiled but said nothing. The ones wearing the pear-shaped makeup now were the princes' wives, not Zhen Huan. What could she say?

So Jiang Ruyin restrainedly commented, "It's okay."

Hua Fei was immediately delighted, "It's mimicry, not truth, but similarity, not uniqueness."

Zhen Huan pursed her lips tightly, and could no longer speak to Prince Dun's wife, "I'll excuse myself first."

Zhen Huan was right in front of her, and Prince Dun's wife was still able to restrain herself, but everyone else showed strange looks.

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan worriedly as she returned to the seat of honor. Zhen Huan tried to smile, but saw that the emperor was looking at Jiang Ruyin.

Dull.

The lotus pond and kites in the sky attracted many people's attention. Even Jiang Ruyin praised him, "Seventeenth Master is so clever."

Concubine Hua said softly, "Isn't it true? Even the Empress didn't let go of such a big phoenix kite."

The Queen didn't even turn her head and said, "It's okay that Wanpin is the birthday girl today."

Zhen Huan forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It was my fault for being so careless."

Seeing this, the emperor's heart softened. He looked at Concubine Hua with dissatisfaction, and so did Prince Guo behind him.

Among all the people present, only Concubine Chun was truly in love with Zhen Huan. The next day, she begged Zhen Huan to accompany her to fly a kite.

Zhen Huan had no mood for fun, so she persuaded Concubine Chun to let the children go at the Bitong Academy.

A glint of light flashed in Lou Yong'er's eyes. "Your sister Wan is lazy. Can I go with you?"

Lou Yong'er had a good idea. If nothing happened, she could just go there for fun. If something happened, she could save Chun Changzai and earn some experience for herself.

Unexpectedly, Chun Changzai's mouth pursed, and she said aggrievedly, "Didn't Lou Changzai have to accompany the emperor? Why did he come here today? Sister Wan is in a bad mood, and Chun'er wants to make Sister Wan happy."

Lou Yong'er was silent for a moment, then said to Zhen Huan, "Chun Changzai means well. Sister, why don't you go out for a walk?"

......

......

An Lingrong was now more than eight months pregnant. She begged the emperor to let her continue living in Shan Gao Shui Chang. The emperor took into consideration that the main building of Shan Gao Shui Chang was a hip-and-gabled building, and Zhen Huan moved to the Bitong Academy, so he gave the Changchun Fairy House to An Lingrong.

The Queen ordered the arrival of An Lingrong's mother, Lin, who was supported by her own servants and brought into Taohuawu.

An Lingrong hurried to ask Jiang Ruyin for help.

When Jiang Ruyin stepped into Taohuawu, the Queen smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Concubine Fang is here. If it weren't for Madam An, I wouldn't have known that Concubine Qian is so talented." There was pride in her pupils, as if she had pinched Jiang Ruyin's tail.

"Hello, Concubine Fang," came the thin, withered voice of a woman sitting below the empress. Her eyes were cloudy, and her back was hunched, her knees bent. However, the woman behind her, dressed as a servant, had a round face and was quite sturdy.

Jiang Ruyin nodded at her, "No need to be polite, Madam."

Lin sat back in her seat and boasted to Jiang Ruyin, "Rong'er has been diligent since she was young. I taught her embroidery step by step and she mastered it immediately. Her stitches are so beautiful. She was born with this talent. She also learned the skill of making perfume from the master! She has a good voice since she was young. She sings those little tunes..."

Jiang Ruyin interrupted her softly, "Madam An, the sun is getting higher, and Consort Qian is still waiting."

"Right, right, right," Lin murmured to himself in agreement.

"I will take Madam An back now and will come back to bother Her Majesty the Queen later." Jiang Ruyin bowed.
