Chapter 162 Zhen Huan 38
"emperor"
At this moment, Zhen Huan's voice was gentle, and there was even a hint of affection in her eyes. She met Yongzheng's gaze with a spring-like face.
It was a pity that she did not see the surprise she expected in Yongzheng's eyes. He just glanced at her indifferently, then took off his coat, got on the bed and said to her.
"Well, let's put it there."
"..."
Zhen Huan, who had a lot to say, was very upset by Yongzheng's attitude.
But Yongzheng didn't care about Zhen Huan's thoughts. He quickly ended the sex life and after cleaning himself up, he still had a somewhat puzzled expression on his face as he lay on the bed.
Ever since he met Zhen Huan in the afternoon, he had some unspeakable feelings in his heart, especially after Yin Qi left. Yongzheng sent away all the servants in the Yangxin Palace and began to recall his past with Chun Yuan over and over again in his mind.
I don’t know why, but every time I thought about it, I would feel sweetness and heartache, but now, I don’t know why, it makes Yongzheng feel a little bored.
For a moment, Yongzheng actually regretted asking Zhen Huan to sleep with him, but after all, a king's words are not a joke. Since he had already issued the order, he couldn't go back on his word without any reason.
But after all, he was no longer in the mood, so Yongzheng stayed in the main hall reviewing memorials until the second watch before coming over, just because he didn't want to say anything more to Zhen Huan.
Now that the "mission" had been completed with great difficulty, Yongzheng, who had been brainstorming for a whole day, felt a little tired. He was just about to ask someone to take Zhen Huan away.
But when he turned around, he saw Zhen Huan following his gaze, pretending to turn her head in surprise, sitting up and looking at the pair of red candles with enjoyment, then turned back and looked at him with admiration in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I heard that in folk weddings, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles would be lit in the room until dawn. When I see this pair of red candles in front of me, it feels as if Your Majesty and I are also husband and wife."
(In the original drama, she was referring to the concubine, I didn’t make a mistake.)
After saying this, Zhen Huan looked at Yongzheng with a look of fear and expectation.
Yongzheng, who was stunned for a moment by Zhen Huan's outrageous behavior, finally reacted and his heart was instantly filled with anger.
He didn't expect that this woman was so bold that she even dared to compare herself to the emperor's wife. You know, he didn't even consider the queen as his wife. In his heart, Chun Yuan was the only wife in this life.
But after all, Yongzheng's face never showed his emotions, so his expression did not change, but he spoke softly,
"Zhen agreed to be unbridled"
Just a simple sentence frightened Zhen Huan so much that she turned pale and knelt down to admit her mistake.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
But Yongzheng didn't want to see this face that looked like Chunyuan but was full of scheming at all.
"Li Dequan"
"Minions are here"
Hearing the emperor's voice, Li Dequan, the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department who had just been transferred to work in the afternoon, pushed the door open and came in, hunched over politely without even glancing at the bed.
"Take her out and tell the Queen tomorrow morning to send two maids to teach Zhen Da Ying how to behave. When she has learned the rules well, she can go and pay her respects to the Queen."
After saying this, regardless of Zhen Huan's frightened expression, Yongzheng turned around, pulled the quilt over him and stopped looking at her.
This punishment was very severe for Zhen Huan. After all, it was the rule to pay respects to the Queen after sleeping with her, which also meant that from that day on, she was a real concubine.
But now, with the emperor's order, Zhen Huan suddenly became an awkward existence in the harem.
She could even imagine how many people would laugh at and bully her in the future, and her heart was filled with fear and sadness.
Zhen Huan had no choice but to raise her head and ask the emperor to revoke his order, but she could only see the emperor's back.
Seeing that she still wanted to beg for mercy, Li Dequan sneered in his heart. A mere maid not only compared herself to the emperor's wife, but also dared to call herself a concubine. Only those with a rank higher than concubine could call themselves subjects. She was really bold.
"嗻"
Then, without waiting for Zhen Huan to open her mouth to explain, Li Dequan would not give her a chance. He waved his hand behind him, and immediately two maids came and covered Zhen Huan's mouth and carried her out.
Li Dequan did not hide what happened tonight. He even specially handed the matter over to Su Peisheng's apprentice Xiao Xia Zi to convey the imperial edict to Jingren Palace that night.
The result was just as Li Dequan had expected. Before the time for paying respects the next day, Zhen Huan's words from last night had spread throughout the six palaces.
Yinqi, who was having breakfast, was so shocked that he almost choked when he heard this. Jinzhong looked at him reproachfully, but immediately handed him a glass of water to help him calm down. After Yinqi felt much better, the two looked at each other.
"This Li Dequan is quite mean"
"I haven't heard how Zhen Huan offended Li Dequan."
Faced with the doubts of the two masters, the clever Xiao Yuanzi quickly came over to explain.
"You two may not know that the nanny who taught Zhen Yingying before she entered the palace was the cousin of Eunuch Li. It was because Zhen Yingying made mistakes repeatedly that the emperor felt that the nanny was ineffective, so he sent her to Concubine Dowager De."
"..."
Seizing the bamboo shoots, Yinqi thought to himself that Yongzheng was petty, and gave the incompetent nanny to his greedy biological mother who was under house arrest. Wouldn't this obviously cause trouble for Concubine Uya?
“No wonder”
Jinzhong could understand Li Dequan's approach. After all, this well-educated aunt suddenly became a nanny under house arrest in the dowager concubine's palace.
From being a leisurely position of taking care of the elderly to being a servant of a master with an unpredictable temper, Li Dequan must have hated Zhen Huan to death.
"She is so bold that she even compares herself to the emperor's wife. Now our heroine will probably be ignored by the emperor for a while."
As a result, Jinzhong handed him a crab roe bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Finding it tasted good, Yinqi picked up another one before he found time to speak.
He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. He was always hungry and could never get enough to eat.
But Jinzhong disagreed with Yinqi's opinion.
"Not necessarily. Zhen Huan is very ambitious. This little setback is nothing."
It must be said that Jinzhong is really good at judging people. Zhen Huan really has a tenacity that can never be defeated, which makes Yinqi admire her very much.
In addition, with the control of the plot, even though the emperor still doesn't like her very much now, after more than a month of being rejected by the emperor, Zhen Huan finally gained favor.
During this period, the palace was not at peace, from the time Zhen Huan was ridiculed to the time Shen Meizhuang gained favor and An Lingrong was returned.
It was also through the day a few days ago when Shen Meizhuang was pushed into the water by Concubine Hua's men and almost died that Zhen Huan used the sisterly love between her and Shen Meizhuang to win the emperor's remembrance of Chun Yuan, allowing her to begin her period of favor while Shen Meizhuang was recuperating.
As for Shen Meizhuang, this silly girl believed what Zhen Huan said just because she said a few ambiguous words. She said that she did this in order to better compete with Concubine Hua and to avenge herself, and she believed that Zhen Huan was as sincere as she was.
"Your Majesty, Prince Guo sent someone to ask you if he and Prince Shen can live with you in Changchun Garden."
