After walking out of Jingren Palace, Shen Meizhuang took Zhen Huan's hand and said, "I will take Longyue to Yongshou Palace later. It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant, so go back to the palace first." With that, he hurried back to Suiyuxuan.

Concubine Jing stepped forward with a smile: "Concubine Hui is very happy that you are back. It's not in vain that she has taken care of Haoyue for you for so many years, and now she can finally retire with success."

"Sister, I'm joking." Zhen Huan had a good relationship with Concubine Jing in the past. She also mentioned something about her fourth brother, and she felt friendly. What's more, now she is apparently about the same age as Concubine Jing. She was able to make friends and stop the crowd, so she suggested, "It's still early, sister, why don't you accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"

Concubine Jing nodded, and walked hand in hand with her towards the imperial garden, while talking about the trivial matters in the palace these years: "In the years when you were not here, Concubine Hui was worried day and night, looking at the moon as her eyes. That was the time when you just left. , Concubine Hui was in a weak position, and she deliberately avoided being favored. Even if Concubine Rong protected her in every way, she could not guarantee that everything would be done. The day after she moved into Broken Yuxuan, there were slaves who worked against the will and kept the windows open at night, letting the moon shine in. It was cold. It was the first time I saw Concubine Hui looking so angry, so I killed the slave with a stick in the courtyard to establish her authority, and then I got better."

"Sister Mei really loves Longyue. I'm just afraid that Longyue won't recognize me as my mother-in-law." Zhen Huan was also worried.Back then, when Wuyue was only three days old, Zhen Huan left her. I'm afraid there was no trace of her in Wuyue's memory.

Concubine Jing shook her head and said with a relieved smile: "Over the years, the emperor has always been reluctant to let people in the palace mention you, but Concubine Rong has never cared about this and will mention you at every turn. The emperor has no way to deal with her. Although Concubine Hui is not as blatant as she is, she always teaches Longyue in private that her biological mother is you, so Longyue has always known that you are her mother-in-law."

"Sister Mei actually thinks about me so much." Zhen Huan's eyes were hot and she almost shed tears.

At that time, Zhen Huan had already made plans to never return to the palace for the rest of her life. She had left Longyue in the care of Shenmeizhuang and was ready to sever the mother-daughter relationship with the child. However, Shenmeizhuang still insisted on telling Longyue , she is not her biological mother.What kind of friendship and righteousness this is.

"In this regard, I can't compare to Concubine Hui." Concubine Jing nodded with emotion, "The sixth elder brother is nominally the adopted son of the queen. He was also raised in the imperial concubine's palace before. The emperor was afraid that she would work too hard, so he sent the sixth elder brother away. Come and raise me. After all these years, watching that child grow up little by little, I feel more and more reluctant to let go. If the Queen wants to take Sixth Brother back at this time, I'm afraid I will have to fight her to the death."

Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows and smiled, feeling a sense of sympathy with her.

At the corner, a tree of Albizia albizia was in full bloom, with clusters like dense autumn mist. The feathery pink and white petals were blown off by the wind, like a rain of flowers, which captivated people's eyes.Zhen Huan couldn't help but stretched out her hand and caught a petal in the palm of her hand. The elegant fragrance spread out. In a trance, she saw Prince Guo again, standing under the tree, holding a flute and playing.

Suddenly, a green figure broke in, shattering Zhen Huan's dream. The bright wheat complexion was incompatible with this palace, but she was also wearing a neat dress of a palace concubine. She had long eyebrows and eyes like cold stars, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. , with a bit of wildness and untamedness, but was helplessly imprisoned here, with frustration and unwillingness on his brows.

She held a pocket full of albizia flowers in her hands. She raised her eyes and met Zhen Huan's gaze. After taking a focused look, she took two steps forward and curtsied and saluted: "Concubine Xi Jin'an, Concubine Xi Jin'an."

Zhen Huan glanced at Concubine Jing, her eyes full of doubts: "I have never seen this sister before."

"This is Ning Chang Zai, who fell ill today." Concubine Jing smiled to explain her confusion, "She has been ill for the past two days, so you haven't seen her since you returned to the palace."

"If you haven't seen her before, how do you know that I am Concubine Xi?" Zhen Huan looked at Ning Changzai with a smile.

"Concubine Chunxi Palace has often seen Concubine Xi in the Ye family." Ning Chang straightened her back and gave a stiff half salute, "Who doesn't know that the empress is entering the palace in such a big battle?" She smiled slightly, With a bit of disdain.

Zhen Huan didn't care about her disrespect, but raised her lips with interest: "My sister is not feeling well, why don't you have a good rest in the palace? When the sun sets, it will become even more uncomfortable."

"Thank you for your concern." Ning Changzai replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"Why did Ning Changzai pick so many petals?" Concubine Jing looked at the pocket full of albizia flowers in her arms and felt a little strange.

Ning Chang's muscles on his face twitched slightly, his eyes wandered for a moment, and then he said calmly: "The imperial doctor said that my concubine was ill and needed some Albizia julibrissin flowers for medicine, so I came to collect some. It's a pity that these fallen flowers are in vain. .”

"I am ashamed of my sister's pity for her." Zhen Huan sighed, turned to look at Concubine Jing, and said with a smile, "She is older after all, so she is not as affectionate as these young ones." She couldn't tell Ning Chang. There is something weird about this statement that I don’t want to expose.

Ning Changzai was too lazy to deal with it anymore, and after bowing, he was about to leave: "I'm not feeling well and can't talk to you anymore, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around and left, his slender back exuding a fresh and sassy air that was different from ordinary women. There is no trace of delicacy and gracefulness.

Zhen Huan looked at her leaving figure, frowning in deep thought.

"Xiao Xiao Chang Zai is so rude." Liu Zhu whispered to Zhen Huan, "Little Master, do you need me to send someone to keep an eye on her?"

"No need, she just acted a little more openly." Zhen Huan looked away and said softly, without avoiding Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing chuckled and said, "You, don't be too concerned about her. She has acted arrogantly since she entered the palace, and she has only learned a few rules of etiquette. The emperor dotes on her, and the queen mother doesn't care about her, so she just goes her own way. She's used to it. No one in the palace is close to her, so only Shun Guiren, a meek and aloof person, can say a few words to her." After a pause, he continued, "Shun Guiren was also drafted into the palace that year. Yes, she is from the imperial concubine's palace. She was favored earlier, but then she became seriously ill and became less favored after that."

A beautiful face flashed through Zhen Huan's mind, and she nodded secretly to write it down.

After bidding farewell to the concubine and returning to the Yongshou Palace, Zhen Huan rested on the couch holding her waist, thinking about the current situation in the palace. Cui Jinxi brought her a bowl of Sanji, Eucommia and Fritillaria soup.

"This soup is good. It is also good for anti-fetal and calming the mind, but it is much better than those bitter and unappetizing anti-fetal medicines." Zhen Huan took two sips and nodded, "Is it made in the small kitchen?"

Cui Jinxi smiled: "It was sent by Miss Dill from Weiyang Palace just now. She said that the imperial concubine got up early this morning and made it for her." Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel warm after hearing this: "After so many years, Rong'er's craftsmanship is still like this. good."

"My lord, Concubine Hui is here." Liu Zhu came in and announced.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang's voice sounded at the door: "I heard it at the door. Now that I'm pregnant, my taste has become even more tricky." She held Long Yue's hand and walked in slowly.

The little doll carved in pink and jade stood gracefully beside Shen Meizhuang. Although she was only two and a half years old, she was already calm and elegant, born as an extremely dignified lady. She looked up at Zhen Huan, with a hint of surprise and admiration in her eyes.

Shen Meizhuang let go of his hand and gave her an encouraging look: "Go, Yue'er."

At that time, Zhen Huan could no longer restrain her excitement and stood up. She wanted to hug her directly but didn't dare. She held back her tears and stayed where she was.

Wu Yue took two steps forward, stood in front of Zhen Huan, and saluted smoothly: "Long Yue wishes to express my regards to E Niang."

"Longyue!" Zhen Huan couldn't help it any longer, she knelt down and hugged Longyue tightly into her arms, "My Longyue..." The light fragrance penetrated along her breath, and Zhen Huan couldn't help but burst into tears. The little man reached out and patted her back sensibly, and his emotions swallowed her up like a raging wave.

Everyone was also in tears.

"Okay Huan'er, stop crying, don't scare Yue'er." Shen Meizhuang wiped his tears, stepped forward to help Zhen Huan up, and then held Wu Yue on his lap and sat down, "I remember that you are pregnant. I don’t like eating anything too greasy, so I specially made sweet lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, try it now.”

Zhen Huan stopped her tears, sat back holding Liu Zhu's hand, smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes: "After all these years, the lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake made by my sister is still the most delicious." At the same time, she ordered Cui Jinxi and Liu Zhu, "Go and get it. Sister Mei’s favorite date and yam cake is here, and the tea is Biluochun. Also, bring me the soft milk cake that I prepared this morning.” She looked at Longyue with soft eyebrows, “Eniang doesn’t know what Longyue likes to eat, I want to The milk cake is sweet and soft, so I made one for you. Try it and see if you like it. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."

Longyue nodded obediently, staring at Zhen Huan with her big watery eyes, and then tugged on Shen Meizhuang's sleeves: "Empress Hui, will Longyue be as beautiful as Eniang in the future?"

"Of course we will. Our Yue'er will definitely be a great beauty in the future." Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but smile and looked up at Zhen Huan, "These naughty words were told to her by Ankang in the past..." She paused slightly and sighed sadly. Take a breath.

Zhen Huan understood, reached out to hold her hand, and comforted her silently, then changed the subject and said: "Sister raised Long Yue very well, but even I, I'm afraid I can't make her learn to be such a lady. "

"Although the queen's words are unpleasant, the truth is this. How can an adoptive mother have a real mother in this world? If you raise Yue'er yourself, you will definitely be better than you are now. I am just trying my best." Shen Meizhuang replied emotionally. Holding Zhen Huan's hand, her eyes filled with tears, "Huan'er, I really didn't expect that we would be able to meet and talk together again."

Zhen Huan looked at Long Yue with a gentle smile, and then looked at Shen Meizhuang: "Since I'm back, you should be happy."

"Of course I'm happy to have you back, but I have to live the same uneasy life as before." Shen Meizhuang was happy and worried at the same time, "I don't know if such a life is good or bad for you. Maybe, I shouldn't Tell me about your uncle."

"If you don't tell me, do you want me to watch my father die of illness in Shu?" Zhen Huan's voice suddenly turned cold.

There was clear sadness in Shen Meizhuang's eyes: "I understand that none of us live for ourselves. Our parents, brothers, and family members are all burdened by worries. No matter what the reason is, it would be great if we sisters could be together."

Zhen Huan pursed her lips and smiled, nodded: "Fortunately, my father has been taken back to the capital for treatment, and I can feel a little more at ease." She lowered her eyes and looked at Wuyue, "Longyue, can you let Liuzhu take you to the side hall to play? ? Niang has prepared a lot of things for you."

Longyue blinked and tilted her head slightly: "Does E Niang want to discuss with Empress Hui how to deal with Huang E Niang?"

Zhen Huan was startled and looked at Shen Meizhuang at a loss: "Sister Mei, this is..."

"I never avoid these things. Yue'er is much smarter than ordinary children. She knows everything she should know and what she shouldn't know." There was a cold chill in Shen Meizhuang's eyes, "She was raised in the palace. Children must abandon their innocence since they are young and must always be on guard to survive in this environment. Huan'er, don't blame me for being cruel, I just don't want Yue'er to end up like Ankang."

Zhen Huan shed a tear in panic, looking at Longyue's ignorant but innocent eyes, her heart ached like a knife.But she asked herself, she would definitely not do better than Shen Meizhuang. She would feel distressed and pity her, but how could a canary pampered in a cage be better than an eagle that has been honed a hundred times?She should thank Shen Meizhuang for being ruthless enough to do what she couldn't do.

"Don't cry, my mother. Yue'er is obedient." Longyue walked to Zhen Huan's side and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.

Zhen Huan tried her best to smile: "Okay, Mom, don't cry."

Her Hazy Moon finally became a victim in this prison.
