Chapter 880 Huanbi 24

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. Everyone knew that Concubine Hua was taking the opportunity to mock Zhen Huan for falling out of favor, but they dared not say much and could only wait and see what would happen.

Zhen Huan looked calm, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Hua Fei's words. She still maintained a humble attitude and said softly: "Madam Hua Fei, you are joking. You are the emperor's most beloved concubine, so naturally everything goes smoothly for you. Why do you need others to ask you about it? I am just a humble person. I am very lucky to have the favor of the queen."

Her words seemed to be self-deprecating, but in fact they were a subtle criticism of Concubine Hua for being too arrogant and unrestrained because of her favor.

When Concubine Hua heard this, her face suddenly darkened. She was about to explode when she heard the Queen say, "Well, we are all sisters, why do we have to be so confrontational? Lady Wan, you should also say less."

The Queen's words seemed to be an attempt to persuade the two to reconcile, but in fact, she was favoring Concubine Hua. Zhen Huan knew in her heart that the Queen was warning her to recognize her situation.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes and replied softly, "Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."

Seeing the Queen speak for her, Concubine Hua felt even more proud. She glanced at Zhen Huan, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the queen changed the subject and started talking about other things. The concubines also agreed, and the atmosphere in the palace finally eased.

After paying their respects, the concubines left Kunning Palace one after another. Zhen Huan walked at the back, with Jin Xi and Liu Zhu supporting her on either side.

"My lady, are you okay?" Jin Xi asked worriedly. She could see that although Zhen Huan looked calm on the surface, she must be very sad in her heart.

Zhen Huan shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine." She paused and then said, "Jingxi, tell me, did I really do something wrong?"

Jing Xi knew what Zhen Huan was referring to, and she comforted her softly, "My lady, you are not wrong."

Liu Zhu also said indignantly: "My lady, it's all because of that bitch Hua Fei, who has been targeting you everywhere. When you regain favor, you will make her pay!"

Zhen Huan smiled bitterly: "To be favored again? How easy is that?" She looked into the distance, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

"My lady, don't be discouraged. The emperor still has you in his heart. As long as you cheer up, you will be able to win the emperor's favor again." Jin Xi encouraged.

Zhen Huan didn't say anything, she just walked silently. She didn't know if she could regain Yinzhen's favor, nor how long she could last in this harem.

……

In the Yangxin Palace, Yinzhen sat upright, reviewing the pile of memorials. His brows were furrowed, his expression was serious, and he exuded an aura of majesty without anger.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Xiao Xiazi walked into the hall quietly and reported in a low voice.

Yinzhen put down the red brush in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked, "Where is Huanbi?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Huanbi is waiting for you in the back hall."

Yinzhen nodded.

The rear hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was where Yinzhen rested and had his meals on weekdays. Although the furnishings here were not as solemn as those in the front hall, they were more cozy and comfortable.

Huanbi was sitting at the table, fiddling with her handkerchief in boredom. She was wearing a light blue cheongsam today, with a pearl hairpin in her hair, which made her look particularly charming and lovely.

Hearing the footsteps, Huanbi quickly stood up and greeted him: "Your Majesty, you are here."

Yinzhen looked at her with a smile on his face: "Why, are you impatient?"

Huanbi said coquettishly, "Your Majesty asks even though you already know the answer. Huan'er is almost starving."

Yinzhen took her hand and walked to the table and sat down: "If you are hungry, eat first, no need to wait for me."

Huanbi shook her head: "How can that be possible? Huan'er has to wait for the emperor to eat together."

Yinzhen looked at the faint green shadow in Huanbi's eyes, and a trace of pity passed through his heart. He knew that Huanbi had been with him these days, doing everything by herself, and it was indeed hard. Last night, he went to Yikun Palace, leaving her alone in the empty room, and she probably didn't sleep well.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Yinzhen reached out and gently stroked Huanbi's eyes, asking softly.

Huanbi lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and said softly, "Well... Huan'er is a little uncomfortable without the Emperor."

Yinzhen felt warm at heart when he heard this. He took Huanbi into his arms and said softly, "It's my fault for neglecting Huan'er. I will spend more time with you in the future."

Huanbi snuggled in Yinzhen's arms with a happy smile on her face. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

After dinner, Yinzhen went to the front hall to handle government affairs as usual. Huanbi stayed in the back hall to help organize Yinzhen's clothes and books.

As she sorted, she recalled every detail of her time with Yinzhen. She found that she could no longer leave Yinzhen.

She liked Yinzhen's dominance, his gentleness, and his love for her. She knew that she had fallen deeply in love with this man.

"Huanbi, what are you thinking about?"

Yinzhen's voice suddenly sounded behind her, interrupting Huanbi's thoughts.

Huanbi was startled and turned around quickly, but accidentally bumped into the bookshelf behind her.

The books on the bookshelf were scattered all over the floor, making a rustling sound.

"Be careful!" Yinzhen was quick to act and held Huanbi.

Huanbi was still in shock and her face was pale. She quickly apologized to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Huan'er didn't mean it."

Seeing that she was very frightened, Yinzhen did not blame her. He patted her back gently and comforted her: "It's okay, I don't blame you."

"Huan'er, last night..." Yinzhen hesitated to speak.

Huanbi raised her head and looked at Yinzhen with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Last night, I went to Yikun Palace, but I didn't touch her." Yinzhen finally said it. He knew that if this matter was not explained clearly, Huanbi would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Huanbi was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Yinzhen to bring up this matter on his own initiative, let alone tell her so frankly.

"Your Majesty, you..." Huanbi was a little at a loss.

Yinzhen held her hand and said seriously: "Huan'er, I know you must be very sad, but I assure you that I really have no feelings for Shilan. The reason why I went to Yikun Palace was just to stabilize her and for the sake of the overall situation."

Huanbi looked at Yinzhen's sincere eyes, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated. She believed in Yinzhen and his love for her.

"Your Majesty, Huan'er believes in you." Huanbi said softly, "Huan'er knows that you have your difficulties, and Huan'er will not blame you."

Yinzhen was moved when he heard this. He hugged Huanbi tightly and whispered in her ear, "Huan'er, thank you."

Huanbi snuggled in Yinzhen's arms with a happy smile on her face. She knew that she had won Yinzhen's heart, and that was enough.
