An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 122: Sui Yu Xuan Dui

"When these two things are put together, how could Zhen Huan not be angry? How could Huanbi not understand the anger in Zhen Huan's heart?" In her opinion, if she obeyed Zhen Huan's arrangements, what kind of person could be arranged in the family?

"My father is a civil servant, and he can only marry his own students. If I marry someone like this, I will live a hasty life. How can I have the ability to fulfill my mother's last wish?

So Huanbi didn't follow Zhen Huan's arrangement and had to marry someone else after returning to Zhen Huan. "Eldest sister", whether you admit it or not, our relationship cannot be changed.

"Today, my sister has been favored by the emperor and has become a concubine. I only want to assist my elder sister. I don't understand why you think Chun Changzai has snatched your favor, but why it is not the same for my sister."

"In the heart of the elder sister, the sisterhood is just talk. I am just a slave from beginning to end. Am I not worthy of being a sister in the palace with the elder sister?"

Zhen Huan snorted coldly, "You don't have to provoke me with words. You know why I asked you to go home. You are too impatient and outspoken."

"I can't let you cause trouble in the palace. This is not your fault alone. Do I have to watch you send the entire Zhen family to the guillotine?"

"Sister, you worry too much. I have won the emperor's favor by myself. Cheng has become the emperor's concubine. What Chun Changzai can do, I can do too...

Zhen Huan sneered, "Rely on yourself, do you really rely on yourself?" Before Huanbi finished her words, she was interrupted by Zhen Huan, "I don't know who is guiding you."

But the emperor is not a man who is impatient. If she doesn't have any tricks, how can she get the emperor's favor? Huanbi was silent for a moment.

"Of course, someone instructed her to do what she did yesterday, but the other party's conditions were not unacceptable to me." In order to turn the tables and become the master, she jumped on the other party's ship without hesitation.

But now Zhen Huan's affirmation made Huanbi feel uneasy, but she recovered after a moment. "Huanbi said again: No matter who gives advice, the eldest sister only needs to know that I am also a daughter of the Zhen family."

"Of course I won't do anything that will harm the Zhen Mansion. If my elder sister really can't accept me becoming the emperor's concubine, you can ask the emperor to let me move out of Sui Yuxuan, and I won't complain."

Huanbi's sudden change of tone made Zhen Huan slightly stunned. Before she could speak, Huanbi said again, "Now that things have been settled, the eldest sister is my biological sister, so I think she should be closer to me than Concubine Chun."

"Zhen Huan took a deep breath. How could she not understand what Huan Biruo said? Her family affairs were naturally more trustworthy than those of outsiders."

But Huanbi is not a trustworthy person. Besides, "she said that she was instructed by others, which made Zhen Huan worry that she would be doing wedding dresses for others sooner or later."

Different thoughts flashed through Zhen Huan's mind. She knew that now was not the time to break up with Huanbi. Otherwise, the mere fact that her mother was the daughter of a criminal would completely overthrow the Zhen family.

"She, the real owner, will not be harmed. After all, she is the emperor's woman. What role can the mother of a guilty minister play?"

Zhen Huan thought it through, her expression gradually softened, and she sighed, "Why do you think I'm angry? Is it really just for the emperor's favor?"

Zhen Huan pulled Huanbi up, and seeing that Huanbi was puzzled, she pulled her to sit aside and said, "You have followed me into the palace for such a long time, and you should know clearly what kind of life I used to lead."

Seeing that the emperor favors you and lets you live in Suiyuxuan, I can also take good care of you. "But if one day, the emperor is no longer in favor of you, how will you cope with it?"

"Huanbi, the status of a court lady is too low," Huanbi knew this truth. But the palace rules have always been that palace maids (maids) have to start from being court ladies before they can sleep with the emperor.

Obviously, I haven't reached the point where the emperor has broken the rules. "I understand what you said, elder sister," but I really don't want to go home, and I really want to do something for my elder sister?

Huanbi lowered her head while speaking, with a hint of loneliness in her voice. Zhen Huan sighed again, "Never mind, I know what you mean."

"You also understand that being in the harem is like walking on thin ice. Now you have someone to guide you, but who knows if one day someone will ask for your favor in return?"

"When Zhen Huan found out that Huanbi was instructed by someone else, her first reaction was to find out who this person was?" Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster if Huanbi was completely turned against the emperor one day.

She must find out who this person is. Huanbi, you must tell me, who gave you this method? "I won't mention rewards, but you should know."

"There is no such thing as unprovoked help in the harem. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."

Huanbi remained silent after hearing this. Seeing this, Zhen Huan did not urge her. After a moment of silence, Huanbi finally spoke: "Eldest sister, it is... it is... Concubine Duan... "

"Princess Duan"? Zhen Huan murmured in a low voice, "Why would she help you and guide you to be favored?" What conditions did you agree to her?

"Sister, Concubine Duan said that I look like you and will definitely be favored. She said that I am of low status and cannot raise a child by myself. She wants my child!

Zhen Huan was shocked after hearing this. She knew what Duanpin had done to Shen Meizhuang. "But she didn't expect that Duanpin was so crazy about wanting a child."

Sending a woman to the dragon bed is just to ask her to bear a child for him. Of course, a favorite concubine cannot understand such a practice.

"Child" How can she be sure that you will be able to get pregnant and give birth to a child? In addition to this, did she say anything else?

Huanbi shook her head, no, "But even if you give birth to the child safely, you can't raise the child because of your position? How can she be sure that the emperor will give the child to her to raise."

"This person's behavior is really puzzling? This... I didn't think much about it at the time, and Concubine Duan didn't elaborate."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan felt helpless, "I didn't ask anything clearly, but I found out about other people's things. My sister is really stupid."

"Princess Duan seldom goes out, so don't meet her alone in the future," If she wants to see you one day, you must tell me.

"Huanbi saw Zhen Huan's serious expression and seemed to realize that she had done something even more stupid. She nodded and said, 'Eldest sister, I understand.'"

I saw the maid you just brought in. Was she sent here by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Yes, the emperor ordered two maids to be sent here.

"This one is called Ruying, and the other one is called Rudai. They should have also arrived at Suiyuxuan. Hmm! It was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." You should be careful when using them to prevent them from being arranged by others.

"You should still remember Kang Luhai from the past!" I see. Thanks for reminding me, elder sister. Your residence is in the West Side Hall. Liuzhu should have arranged it properly by now.

It's very tiring to pay respects today, you should go back and have a rest first. Zhen Huan was too lazy to say anything more to Huanbi, as the matter was now a foregone conclusion.

If she said anything more, Huanbi might be unhappy. She would sleep with him, since she was not the only one favored in the harem.

"Just pretend it never happened. I still have an extra helper under my command. After hearing this, Huanbi stood up and knelt down to salute. Thank you, elder sister. I will withdraw first."

After Huanbi left, Cui Jinxi and Liu Zhu pushed the door open and saw that Zhen Huan's face was still not looking good. They looked at each other and felt helpless.

After all, no matter who it is, they would be unhappy if they knew that their own sister had carried them on her back and climbed onto the dragon bed. Cui Jinxi did not say anything. Liu Zhu approached Zhen Huan with a worried look on her face... "My lady," are you okay?

Zhen Huan shook her head and said, "Huanbi is the lady from now on. You must be careful about the attitude you use when talking to her. Jingxi is an old person in the palace and knows how serious this is. I am not worried."

Especially Liu Zhu, I know you feel sorry for me, but things have been decided. Having one more ally is always better than having one more enemy.

Seeing Huanbi is like seeing me, do you understand?

Liu Zhu curled her lips and nodded, "My lady, I understand. I won't cause you any trouble." That's the best. You go to the west wing hall and see if Huanbi is short of anything. Don't be too picky.

Liu Zhu wanted to say something, but when she met Zhen Huan's gaze, she could only kneel down and leave. After Liu Zhu left, Cui Jinxi asked, "My lady, what's so unusual about He Guan's daughter being favored?"

You always understand what I am thinking. Zhen Huan nodded, "Huanbi accepted Duanpin's instruction. The price is that she must give Duanpin a child."

Cui Jinxi was stunned when she heard Zhen Huan's words, and then asked in confusion, "Child?" Concubine Duan...she...

She suddenly stopped talking, not knowing what she was thinking about, and continued, "Duanpin's body is not suitable for pregnancy, so some of her practices are not surprising."

You mean, Concubine Duan's plot this time was just an open one, nothing else? "Concubine Duan stays in Yanqing Palace every day and rarely goes out."

No one can figure out what she wants to do. But although she looks unpopular, she can bribe the servants around Concubine Xian, which shows that she is very scheming.

However, although I may not be sure about other things, I can still guess what Concubine Duan is thinking about the child.

Seeing Cui Jinxi's expression, Zhen Huanlan subconsciously felt that there was a secret in front of her. "Jinxi, do you know something about Concubine Duan?"

"A trace of confusion flashed across Cui Jinxi's face, as if she didn't know whether to continue speaking?" Zhen Huan did not urge Cui Jinxi, but just looked at her steadily.

His expression was full of determination. After a long time, Cui Jinxi sighed and finally said it.

"My lady, you may not know that Concubine Duan (Concubine Qi Yue) has lost her qualification to be a mother, and it is all because of the feud with Concubine Hua." When Concubine Hua was pregnant in the palace, she was only on good terms with Concubine Duan.

"But the only person I was close to became the culprit for Concubine Hua's miscarriage. A bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine cost the life of the baby in Concubine Hua's belly."

"Hua Fei was impatient, so she rushed into Concubine Duan's room and forced her to drink a large bowl of safflower. This ruined Concubine Duan's body. From then on, she could no longer get pregnant, and her body became like this."

Cui Jinxi's words were just a few words, but Zhen Huan's heart was like a hurricane.

"I thought the harem was full of conspiracies and intrigues, but I didn't expect there would be fighting in public. I see."

Zhen Huan sighed. It was not that she was not favored. Even if she was favored, "there was no possibility that she was pregnant. That was why she could plot against Mei Jie first, and not set her sights on Huan Bi."

"Perhaps that's why. My dear, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not. There is nothing that cannot be said between you and me."

"It was only Miss He who said that Concubine Duan gave the order," I felt a little doubtful. Concubine Duan should not be such a careless person.

"What do you mean?" My lady, just from the incident of Concubine Xian, we can see that Concubine Duan is cautious in her actions. Didn't Concubine Xian also say that otherwise it would not be easy to find out with the help of the Empress Dowager.

"Otherwise, the best outcome would be death without any evidence. With such scheming and tactics, how could he expose himself to Lord He so easily?"

At this point, Cui Jinxi took a breath and said, "Go on, the young master was so shocked when he heard about this that he didn't ask about it in detail."

I guessed that it was possible that someone else had helped Concubine Duan, which was not impossible. Zhen Huan remained silent after hearing this. She turned the conversation between herself and Huanbi over in her mind.

"I never asked whether she had met Concubine Duan in private," he nodded. You are right. I was also confused. I didn't even ask such an important question.

"Miss He's matter came too quickly. Miss He was shocked and angry, and was held accountable by Concubine Hua. It is understandable that Manmian was negligent."

The young lady spoke to Concubine Hua in the same way in Jingren Palace today. I'm afraid that things will be more difficult for you today.

"Zhen Huan pursed her lips and continued, "If others don't know the ins and outs of Huanbi's matter, they will think that I did it deliberately to consolidate my favor."

"Just bear with the injustice, there is nothing we can do. With the Emperor here, Concubine Hua dare not do anything out of line. Cui Jinxi saw that Zhen Huan also had plans in mind, so she stopped talking!"

He nodded slightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Not long after he sat down, the sound of the emperor's arrival came from outside.

Zhen Huan glanced at Cui Jinxi, put away the gloom on her face, and stood up to greet her. "Greetings to the Emperor!"
