Chapter 347: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 31
"Your Majesty always makes fun of me. How dare I compete with you? You are the true emperor, you can make clouds and rain with a wave of your hand. I am just a little woman. In your eyes, I am not even as good as an ant, right?"
As Wen Yuan spoke, her eyes turned red again and she looked like she was about to cry.
Yinzhen hated to see her like this, and was immediately panicked. He hugged Wen Yuan into his arms and coaxed her softly, "How could I not like you? I like you so much, you are my baby, my sweetheart, I wish I could bring all the good things in the world to you, just to make you smile."
Wen Yuan sneered in her heart, men are really all pigs, you can’t believe a word they say.
He held Wen Yuan's face and coaxed her softly, "Yuan'er, don't cry. I feel bad seeing you like this."
Wen Yuan looked at him with tears in her eyes and sobbed, "Your Majesty, am I particularly annoying? My sisters are all more gentle and virtuous than me. Do you also think that I am not as good as them?"
Yinzhen couldn't stand hearing this. He hugged Wen Yuan tightly in his arms, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who said that? I just like your true nature. Those pretentious women are so hypocritical. How can they compare to you?"
He paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, I will go and 'appease' those gossipers right away, and see if they dare to gossip in front of you in the future!"
Early in the morning of the next day, an imperial edict exploded in the harem like thunder.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Wanpin Zhen has no respect for the inferiors and has committed treason. She is stripped of her title, demoted to a concubine, and confined for two months. This is my decree!"
When this imperial edict came out, everyone in the harem was in an uproar. No one expected that the arrogant Wanpin would be ruthlessly slapped in the face by the emperor today.
Zhen Huan didn't believe it.
She didn't believe that the emperor would demote her so easily, and she didn't believe that the emperor would punish her for a woman as unruly and willful as Wen Yuan.
In her heart, the emperor has always loved and doted on her. Even though there were more people around the emperor later, the emperor always treated her differently.
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Zhen Huan fell to the ground, the imperial edict in her hand fell, and the bright yellow silk swayed in front of her eyes, as if mocking her self-righteousness.
Jinxi and Huanbi hurried forward to help her up, and urged her urgently: "My lady, you must take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself? Haha..." Zhen Huan smiled sadly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Now that I have become a concubine, how long can I stay safe in this harem that eats people without leaving any bones?"
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she felt no pain at all. She asked herself over and over again in her heart, what went wrong, why did the emperor suddenly become so heartless?
Could it be that, just because of Concubine Li’s words, the Emperor really wants to treat her like this?
No, the emperor must have some difficulties!
Zhen Huan was in a state of confusion, pacing back and forth in the room like a trapped animal in a cage. She didn't understand why everything changed overnight?
Why would the emperor treat her like this for that arrogant woman, Guarjia Wenyuan? Did the emperor really have no feelings for her at all?
"My lady, you have been gone for almost an hour. You should sit down and rest for a while." Jin Xi held a cup of hot tea and looked at Zhen Huan with concern.
Zhen Huan took the tea but did not drink it, letting it get colder little by little.
"Jinxi, tell me, has the emperor really changed his mind?"
Jin Xi didn't know how to answer, so she could only comfort him, "How could the emperor really change his mind? There must be some misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding can make the emperor so heartless that he doesn't even want to see me again?" Zhen Huan smiled sadly and placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. The tea splashed out and wet her sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the month. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the cicadas' chirping is disturbing.
Wen Yuan's birthday was approaching, and Yinzhen had given orders early on to celebrate it in a grand manner to make sure his daughter had a great time.
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was extremely fond of this imperial concubine, so they began preparations early and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The ladies of each palace also prepared generous gifts, waiting to show their smiles at the birthday banquet and to please the new "favored concubine".
On this day, after Yinzhen left the court, he went straight to Yongshou Palace. He saw Wen Yuan wearing a peach-pink Manchu dress, with long black hair adorned with pearls, which made her skin look even more beautiful than snow. She was playing with the thrush in the cage out of boredom, and when she saw Yinzhen coming, she immediately stood up to greet him and said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Yinzhen smiled and held her in his arms, saying lovingly, "I'm here now, aren't I? Why, I'm just going to court, and Yuan'er misses me already?"
Wen Yuan patted his chest coquettishly and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty always makes fun of me. I was just thinking that today is my birthday and that Your Majesty will definitely come early to accompany me."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault for neglecting our Yuan'er."
Yinzhen smiled and scratched her nose, then said softly, "I came here today to bring you something good."
After saying that, he took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve, opened it, and found inside was a jade bracelet that was completely emerald green. The body of the bracelet was carved with a lifelike phoenix. It was so lifelike that one could tell at a glance that it was a priceless treasure.
"This..." Wen Yuan covered her mouth in surprise.
"This is too expensive. I cannot accept it." Wen Yuan was still polite as usual.
"Silly girl, you are the woman I love most. What does a mere jade bracelet mean to you?" Yinzhen said, and put the jade bracelet on Wen Yuan's wrist with his own hands.
"Come, let me take a look. Do you like it?"
The jade bracelet was crystal clear, emitting a warm luster in the sun, which made Wen Yuan's skin look even whiter. She couldn't let go of the bracelet and couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me," Wen Yuan raised her head, her eyes filled with emotion.
"I don't know how to repay you."
"Silly girl, why should I thank you between you and me?" Yinzhen gently held her in his arms and stroked her hair.
"As long as you are happy, everything I do is worth it."
Yinzhen ordered people to decorate the Yongshou Palace with a festive atmosphere. Bright red lanterns were hung high and colorful silks poured down like water, making the entire palace look magnificent.
Wen Yuan looked at all this and was secretly shocked. This scene could be even more exaggerated.
