I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 362 An Lingrong 18

Since Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo have already set a trap for Shen Meiyu, there is no reason for them to let Zhen Huan go.

So although this day was Wen Yi's birthday party, it was also specially designed for Zhen Huan.

Halfway through the banquet, it was time to draw lots.

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were pregnant and did not participate.

After the Queen wrote the calligraphy, Cao Qinmo drew a lot for Zhen Huan, which said "dance a stunning dance".

Zhen Huan was stunned when she heard this. Although she could dance the Jinghong Dance, she still wanted to refuse to dance like a singer in public.

However, Cao Qinmo did not give her the chance to refuse, and neither would Concubine Hua.

Zhen Huan set her sights on the emperor, hoping that he would help her refuse, but she was soon disappointed. When the mention of the Jinghong Dance came up, she thought of the time when Wanwan danced a Jinghong Dance, and she fell in love with Wanwan at first sight.

After so many years, he also wanted to see the Jinghong Dance.

And Zhen Huan looks so much like his beloved wife.

So the Emperor did not speak for Zhen Huan, but asked Zhen Huan to dance the Jinghong Dance. Today was a family dinner and it was harmless.

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Zhen Huan had no choice but to accept it in humiliation.

After changing her clothes, Zhen Huan started dancing in front of everyone. This time, Shen Meizhuang was playing the piano to accompany her.

This time, An Lingrong was just a bystander. She was only responsible for appreciating the performance and did not sing.

The Emperor watched Zhen Huan dance intently, hardly even blinking.

Seeing how the Emperor fell in love with her, Zhen Huan let go of the humiliation in her heart. Her heart was now filled with joy. If this could make the Emperor like her even more, she felt that it would all be worth it.

But what she didn't know was that the emperor's eyes were looking through her and he was thinking of his beloved wife.

From the beginning to the end, Zhen Huan was just a substitute in the emperor's heart.

Not only that, the suspicion that the emperor had temporarily forgotten also surged up in his heart. Zhen Huan was too suspicious. Not only did she know the poems that Wanwan recited, but her usual style also had many similarities with Wanwan. What's more, she could actually dance the Jinghong Dance.

It would be fine if all this was just a coincidence, but if she did this on purpose to step on Wanwan to get to the top, he would not let her go so easily.

So after Wen Yi's birthday party, the emperor thought about it and decided to send someone to investigate the Zhen family.

An Lingrong knew about this and helped out.

After a few days, the emperor looked at what the investigation had revealed and his face turned blue with anger.

It turns out there is something strange.

Back when the emperor was still a prince, the fact that he favored his legitimate wife alone was a big deal in the city, and everyone knew about it.

Even though his wife died early, she was always missed by Prince Yong.

It was already the 50th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, and the situation in the court gradually became clear. The Eighth Prince's party was no longer a force to be reckoned with, and it was basically certain that Prince Yong would succeed to the throne.

Zhen Yuandao, who was still a minor official, thought it was profitable, so he spent a large sum of money to secretly invite the person who taught Ulanara Rouze the Jinghong Dance to his home to teach Zhen Huan the Jinghong Dance.

Moreover, Zhen Yuandao usually trains Zhen Huan to be like Ulanala Rouze.

It is also said that Prince Yong likes talented women who understand poetry, so he let Zhen Huan learn poetry.

It can be seen that he wanted to send Zhen Huan to Prince Yong's Mansion to be Prince Yong's concubine. Perhaps in the future Zhen Huan might be the Empress in the Forbidden City.

With the help of his daughter Zhen Huan, Zhen Yuandao will definitely be promoted.

He was originally 50% sure of success and 50% sure of failure. If he failed, all his efforts over the years would be in vain and would be of no use.

When Prince Yong came to the throne, Zhen Huan was only seventeen years old. The Emperor had to observe mourning, so there would be no selection of concubines, and his daughter Zhen Huan might not have had the chance to enter the palace.

He was about to be disappointed, but he didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the better. The emperor actually wanted to hold a beauty show during the mourning period.

No matter how ridiculous it is, as long as it can satisfy his daughter Zhen Huan, he will never say anything.

In this way, Zhen Huan entered the palace.

He didn't expect it to be so smooth, as if God was on his side.

The emperor was already very angry when he saw this, but what happened next made him even angrier.

He originally thought that Zhen Yuandao was really a man who loved his wife and cared about his family, but he didn't expect that this was all a disguise.

In fact, he is just a hypocritical villain.

Zhen Yuandao actually has a concubine and uses her as a maid. It is really absurd and cold-blooded.

No wonder he felt that the maidservants around Zhen Huan and Huanbi were somewhat similar to Zhen Huan. It turned out that they were sisters.

Zhen Yuandao really had a good plan. He let Huanbi follow Zhen Huan into the palace. If something went wrong, Zhen Yuandao would undoubtedly be embarrassed and looked down upon.

But he, as the emperor, is not much better.

After reading it, the emperor sat on the couch and thought about what to do next.

What he investigated could not be known to other people as he still had to clean up the mess. As for Zhen Yuandao who caused so much trouble, he would not let him go either. He would just find a few mistakes and demote him later.

And there is Zhen Huan. Although she didn't know that her father had specially trained her, he also took his anger out on Zhen Huan because of Zhen Yuandao.

Zhen Huan should not be promoted to a high position in the future.

An Lingrong knew that the emperor wanted to keep this matter secret, but she would not allow it.

So, after going around in circles, Concubine Hua soon learned some news that seemed true but was not.

She thought that nothing would happen to Zhen Huan in the short term. After all, Wen Yi's plan to embarrass Zhen Huan at her birthday party failed.

But I didn’t expect to know such an embarrassing thing.

So she immediately wrote a letter to her brother. Within two days, everyone in the court knew that Zhen Yuandao had used a commoner as a maid. All the court officials were shocked. It really refreshed their three views.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, the emperor felt deeply ashamed and punished Zhen Yuandao.

Zhen Yuandao is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but he has bad personal ethics. The emperor is furious and demotes Zhen Yuandao again and again, and then Zhen Yuandao becomes a minor official of the sixth rank.

Soon, the Zhen family will be driven out of the capital and taken up positions in other places.

When Zhen Huan learned the news, her face changed drastically and she immediately ignored everything else. She anxiously ran to Jiuzhou Qingyan to plead for her family.

But when he got outside the hall, he was stopped by Su Peisheng.

Zhen Huan took the silver from Liu Zhu's hand and stuffed it into Su Peisheng's hand, begging, "Eunuch Su, can you help me pass a message to your emperor? I want to see the emperor."

Su Peisheng looked at Wan Changzai and felt deeply moved. Times have changed. Who could have thought that the always arrogant Wan Changzai would beg him so humbly.

But he dared not accept the money: "Wan Changzai, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that the emperor doesn't want to see you. You should go back first. It's sunny here, it's not good to get sunburned."
