Chapter 225: Hazy Moon 15
Chapter 225: Hazy Moon 15
When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan return to the palace in glory, she couldn't tell whether she was filled with jealousy or a hint of relief and comfort.
But no matter which emotion dominates, we should not make enemies at this moment.
So An Lingrong personally visited Zhen Huan and congratulated her on not only her "successful prayer" to return to the palace, but also her pregnancy again. It can be said that the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared.
Zhen Huan had long lost her previous trust in An Lingrong, and labeled her intentions as simple business courtesy and spying, so she was fully prepared to deal with it.
After all, this was my first time back, so I had to plan every step carefully, for fear of making any mistakes in the smallest details.
But no one knows what's wrong with An Lingrong. She comes quite often. I didn't realize she talked so much before, but now she keeps chattering and making Zhen Huan dizzy.
Jin Xi also speculated privately that An Lingrong had ill intentions and was deliberately disturbing Zhen Huan so that she could not concentrate on her pregnancy and thus achieve the purpose of affecting Zhen Huan's health.
After thinking about it, Zhen Huan agreed with Jin Xi's words.
After all, she really couldn't think of any other reason that would make the once quiet and peaceful An Lingrong become such a chatterbox.
But in fact, this time the master and servant had indeed wronged An Lingrong.
It only takes a talkative and naughty Longyue to turn An Lingrong into what she is now. Not to mention An Lingrong, all the people in the harem are often exposed to this child's chattering. Don't you see that Shen Meizhuang is also particularly talkative now?
After all, Longyue's principle is to be selectively obedient and chronically rebellious.
How much An Lingrong hoped to train a master perfumer, but how devastated she was when the unlucky kid made a fragrance that smelled like farts and mud. It's inevitable that her temper will change over time, and it's normal for her to become talkative.
An Lingrong thought that although she had once harmed Zhen Huan, she had also cared for her daughter and was tortured by her daughter. She did not seek credit, but she had worked hard.
But Zhen Huan had no idea what she had experienced, and she felt a lot of trouble when faced with An Lingrong's behavior.
Zhen Huan guessed that the Queen wanted to put her on a pedestal and give her all kinds of bad reputations for being extravagant, while An Lingrong used magic attacks to interfere with her mentality, both of which were intended to make life difficult for her.
She had to find a way to temporarily block the enemy's attack; she couldn't go on like this.
The Fourth Prince, who has been plagued by many disasters recently, is a good reason.
Although she did not have the title of Hongli's biological mother this time, as a famous prayer contestant who had made a name for herself, it was also a good reputation for her to pray devoutly for the safety of the emperor's offspring.
She was only thinking about Fatty Ju's son. If anyone wanted to throw dirty water on her or overdraw her physical strength at this time, and cause trouble, the emperor and the empress dowager would not sit idly by.
Zhen Huan had a good plan, but she ignored the wishes of the person involved.
Hongli's impression of Zhen Huan was still that of Empress Wan who treated him gently in the Old Summer Palace. When he heard that she still cared about him, he was deeply moved and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
However, this somewhat exaggerated gratitude only lasted for two days. After Wang Qin heard from others that Concubine Xi was actually the biological mother of Princess Longyue, Hongli's mood came to an abrupt end.
They are actually from the same family!
What's the point of being grateful? This doesn't mean he's just caring about himself. I think this is clearly a warning!
Empress Wan is no longer the Empress Wan she used to be. How could she really care about me when she has her own children? She is doing all this just to cover up for her child, because she is afraid that he will hate Longyue.
Zhen Huan never expected that the one who let down her temper was actually the unlucky child Hongli. As an elder, I was praying for you with all my heart, but you secretly rolled your eyes at me. Did you really think I couldn't see?
I don’t know what’s wrong with this child. He’s a good boy, but when he’s unhappy, he pouts.
Zhen Huan patted her chest to suppress the nausea, but she was not sure whether it was a pregnancy reaction or simply because she was nauseated by Hongli.
Hongli was a small-time figure with little influence and not many confidants, so when he got angry he would just hide in the bedroom with the quilt covering his head, and then he would show his anger silently.
Ever since being kicked by Longyue, Hongli always felt that something was different, but he couldn't explain it clearly, and he got nothing after asking his servants.
Most of his servants were transferred from the Imperial Household Department after entering the palace, and they were not very familiar with the Fourth Prince.
The only two people who knew him were Wang Qin and one of them was obsessed with mung bean soup.
Wang Qin did notice something was wrong.
But he didn’t dare to say it!
He couldn't say that the Fourth Prince had started to speak softly recently and occasionally used strange interjections.
"Wang Qin, you really didn't notice anything wrong with me?"
Wang Qin, who had been gloriously named, had no choice but to pretend to ignore the trembling "ma" from his master. With a firm look of conviction, he shook his head, "No, you're fine."
Hongli nodded, but didn't hold much hope for Wang Qin. His attention was focused on the mirror in his hand.
Wang Qin was almost crying. What kind of master loves to look in the mirror so much? The ladies in the palace are no different.
If things continue like this, how are we going to live in the future?
Zhen Huan hit a snag with Hongli, but she had never actually given birth to a son that big, and didn't understand what kind of personality a boy that big had. She simply felt that time had passed, and Hongli was no longer the innocent little boy he used to be.
She changed her direction and decided to recruit a few teammates. It was not enough for her and Sister Mei to go it alone. Not to mention that there is strength in numbers, but three cobblers can still be better than Zhuge Liang.
The first cobbler she chose was Ye Lanyi, who had a unique personality.
This woman looked very different. She was not the type of person who would go around in circles. She was very independent and did not have any close contacts with the concubines.
Zhen Huan decided to extend an olive branch to her first.
As a result, Ye Lanyi not only rejected the other party's goodwill, but also wanted to step on the other party twice and finally spit on him!
Fat Orange's novelty about her has not yet worn off, and the number of times she has been called up is still far ahead in the entire harem.
Fat Ju knew that her personality was incompatible with other women. She had no close concubines, so she would complain to her about some harmless little things, regardless of whether she wanted to listen or not.
It just so happened that the night before, Pangju talked to Ye Lanyi about Zhen Huan.
"Actually, you and Concubine Xi have similar personalities. You're both a bit stubborn."
"She left the palace right after giving birth to Longyue. She's suffered a lot in the past few years, but fortunately, her temper has softened a lot now."
"I wanted to ask Longyue to cultivate her relationship with her. After all, they are mother and daughter. But I also thought that she is now a twin, and I am afraid she does not have enough energy to take care of Longyue while taking care of the baby."
Fat Orange kept talking a lot and was almost moved to tears by himself. What a touching father and man I am!
Ye Lanyi only extracted one key word.
Longyue was born to Concubine Xi!
The kid who forced me to take birth control pills secretly every time was born to Concubine Xi!
Xi Fei, right? Just wait for me!
