Chapter 224 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 7
"I heard that the emperor hasn't been to the harem for a long time." The empress dowager asked casually, her eyes fixed on the beads in her hand.
"The Emperor has been busy with government affairs recently and has not been there yet."
The Queen Mother chuckled upon hearing this: "No matter how busy you are, there has to be a limit."
The Queen agreed, "Yes, all the beauties in the harem are eagerly waiting for the Emperor!"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment, with a trace of unnaturalness on her face: "How is Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan now?"
After he finished speaking, the whole hall suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
But she quickly reacted: "Is Concubine Wan still here? I heard that she has been feeling unwell. She has claimed to be sick recently and has not been out. She should be recuperating in the palace."
The Queen Mother did not respond. She slowly stood up and paced a few steps. Suddenly she stopped and turned to look at the Queen, saying meaningfully, "Wan Changzai is extremely beautiful... and she looks very similar to the late Queen Chunyuan. It is only a matter of time before she is favored by the Emperor. If the Emperor loves her, it will be a great help to you."
The queen forced a smile: "I understand..."
She turned around and retreated, sneering in her heart. Even Rou Ze was defeated by her, not to mention a little Zhen Huan, who was not worth her attention.
Yinzhen, expressionless, walked leisurely into Shoukang Palace and said in a gentle voice, "Son pays respects to mother."
Although Yinzhen had reached a high position, his longing for his mother never diminished.
"Get up."
In Shoukang Palace, Yinzhen stood respectfully before the empress dowager with a solemn expression.
The Queen Mother raised her eyes slightly, stared at her son in front of her, and said in a cold tone: "Emperor, I heard that you haven't summoned your concubines to sleep with you for many days? What is the reason for this?"
Yinzhen frowned slightly. He was not surprised by the Queen Mother's question, but he still answered calmly: "My Queen Mother, I have been busy with government affairs recently and have no time to take care of the harem."
The Queen Mother put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and sneered: "No matter how busy you are, you can't neglect the harem. The concubines in the harem were selected to enter the palace for the emperor to have children. If they are favored, they can feel at ease, and the whole harem will be harmonious."
Yinzhen knew that what the Queen Mother said was true, but when he thought of Chuhuan's smile, his heart couldn't help but soften.
She slowly walked to Yinzhen's side and spoke softly, "Your Majesty, this harem is very cold. If there is no favor, it will be like a cold cellar. I'm sure Your Majesty doesn't want to see these innocent people being chilled, right?"
"I understand." Yinzhen replied calmly, but he didn't take it to heart.
There was only one Chu Hua in his eyes; all other women were like floating clouds and could not catch his eye.
He said calmly, "I will treat everyone equally, mother, don't worry. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw."
"it is good……"
Yinzhen: Oh, I get it. I won’t do it. Come and hit me.
At this time in Sui Yuxuan, the autumn mist enveloped the exquisite courtyard. Zhen Huan pretended to be sick to avoid favor and lay on the carved bed with white gauze curtains draped. Most of her servants had already left, and the remaining few were busy listlessly in the yard, making the entire palace seem particularly deserted.
Although life was simple, it was also warm. Whenever she sat in front of the window and looked at the maple leaves falling in the wind, she felt a sense of peace in her heart, as if the troubles inside and outside the palace walls had nothing to do with her, and her heart became much calmer.
But everyone underestimated this female Zhuge Liang. She knew that in this cold palace, the more favor she received, the more danger she would face. Instead of risking her life in the fight for favor, it would be better to use avoiding favor as a cover, quietly observe the situation, wait for the right time, and then act.
Yinzhen returned to the Yangxin Palace with an unhappy look on his face. He had just returned from Shoukang Palace and was full of complaints.
"Really? I finally had a chance to leave the palace today, but the Queen Mother called me away. I wasted an entire afternoon."
Yinzhen muttered secretly in his heart, sat in front of his desk, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, looking a little upset.
"Your Majesty." Su Peisheng walked in cautiously, and when he saw Yinzhen's bad complexion, his heart skipped a beat.
Yinzhen waved his hand and looked towards the sky outside the window, as if he saw Chuhuan's smile through the blue.
"Did Princess Chuhua go out today?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Chu Huan did not go out of the mansion today." Su Peisheng replied.
Yinzhen nodded, feeling a little comforted. Although he was unable to meet her in person, he was satisfied as long as he knew she was safe.
Recalling the scene in Shoukang Palace today, the Queen Mother still looked indifferent, but her words revealed her dissatisfaction with him. Thinking of this, he felt even more annoyed.
Yinzhen pointed to the fragrant fruits from Qiongzhou placed nearby, then raised his eyes to look at Su Peisheng who was serving him, his deep voice as warm as a spring breeze.
"Su Peisheng, go pick some good fruits and deliver them to Neqin's residence in person."
After hearing this, Su Peisheng quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor personally ordered that Su Peisheng do it himself, and each one was carefully selected, just like the best quality products.
Then, he wrapped the selected fruits in brocade and arranged them neatly on the mahogany tray in pleasing colors.
Under his meticulous decoration, the fruits seemed to have turned into beautiful gems, so tempting to eat.
This tray is not just filled with fruit, it also represents Yinzhen's deep love for Chuhuan.
Carrying the tray of fruit, Su Peisheng did not dare to delay and went straight to Neqin's mansion.
And as his figure disappeared at the end of the long street, Yinzhen's eyes were full of pampering and expectation.
He thought that Chu Huan would have a beautiful smile when she received these fruits. That was a sweet smile that belonged to him, only to him.
His mind was in turmoil, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He was silently looking forward to seeing Chu Hua's smile as bright as a spring flower again.
But in order not to expose Yinzhen's identity, Su Peisheng said to Neqin when he delivered the fruits to Neqin's house: "Sir Neqin, the emperor rewards these fruits to commend your diligence and selfless dedication day and night."
As Su Peisheng spoke, he presented the brocade-wrapped fruits, with a secret smile in his eyes.
How could Nianqin not know what Yinzhen was thinking? He couldn't help feeling a little helpless and smiled awkwardly.
Although he knew in his heart that this favor was not for him, he still respectfully thanked the emperor for his grace, and secretly prayed in his heart that Chu Huan could feel his deep affection.
He also hopes that his Huan'er can really capture the emperor's heart, so that she can live a better life when she enters the palace in the future.
After seeing off Su Peisheng, Nianqin took the fruits given by the emperor and walked through the prosperous courtyard, passed a blue lake, and then a bamboo forest covered with snow, and on the vermilion door frame.
Neqin walked with heavy steps, feeling a little excited and nervous.
The first few chapters are about nurturing feelings, then entering the palace and being the only favorite, and then torturing Zhen Huan and the others.
