I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 352 An Lingrong 08

During this period of time, Shen Meizhuang felt like she was soaking in bitter water and there was no easy time for her.

The only consolation is probably to go to Suiyuxuan to see Huan'er and get some comfort from her.

Although the emperor did not often go to the harem, he still knew that Concubine Hua deliberately tormented Shen Meizhuang. Of course, his first reaction was not to feel sorry for Shen Meizhuang, but to be angry that Shen Meizhuang was not worthy of being reused.

Shen Meizhuang looks smart, but in fact she is arrogant and stupid. It seems that his idea of ​​letting Concubine Hua and Shen Meizhuang confront each other and then balance the harem has failed.

But among the harem, after searching around, only Shen Meizhuang is suitable. Let's wait and see if she can rise up and resist in the future.

Now that she is so useless, he just ignores her. Concubine Hua knows her limits and will definitely not torture Shen Meizhuang for too long.

So Shen Meizhuang didn't say anything, and the emperor pretended not to know.

Soon, it will be Chinese New Year.

Concubine Hua was busy preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet and had no time to bother with Shen Meizhuang, which made Shen Meizhuang feel relieved.

While feeling relieved, Shen Meizhuang also felt a little scared.

After Concubine Hua stopped torturing Shen Meizhuang, Shen Meizhuang was busy taking care of her skin. She was exhausted every day during this period, and her legs were always sore.

My fingers are very stiff and uncomfortable.

Because she had copied account books many times in a dim environment, her eyes became blurry when looking at distant objects, and she would subconsciously squint when looking at things.

But once such a habit is formed, it will probably be difficult to change it in the future.

And her skin became a little rough because of staying up late.

How could she gain the emperor's favor for long in this state? So, she spent a lot of money every day to improve herself faster.

By New Year's Eve, Shen Meizhuang felt much better, and the fatigue on her face was much less.

New Year's Eve dinner.

An Lingrong sat in her seat, listening to the sounds of orchestral music and drinking a little wine. The room was warm and the dishes on the table had just been served, so they were not cold and tasted just right.

She glanced at the emperor sitting at the top, who was staring at the plum blossoms placed in the hall. Not long after, he went out despite the queen's attempt to stop him.

She knew what would happen tonight, but she would not give Zhen Huan a chance to escape.

She wanted to develop feelings with the emperor first and then gain his favor, but this was not possible. If she was to be a substitute, she had to be prepared to be a substitute.

In the Yime Garden, every plum tree is her eyes, and she will know whatever happens there.

The singing and dancing in the palace was a bit boring, so it would be nice to watch a play.

At this time, I was leaning against the plum garden.

In a remote corner, Yu Ying'er was holding a pair of scissors, angrily cutting plum blossoms while mumbling complaints.

Not long after, she saw a person holding a lantern, wearing a cloak and a flag on her head walking towards her not far away. She should be a young lady.

Yu Ying'er hid behind the tree, and no one could see her standing here.

She looked at the man and saw something hung on the tree, and then she started to make a wish. Yu Ying'er heard it very clearly. There was a sentence in her wish: "If you understand my feelings when facing headwinds, don't destroy yourself easily."

Yu Ying'er looked at her and just as she finished speaking, a male voice came from afar: "Who, who is there?"

Now, Yu Ying'er thought she had figured out what that woman wanted to do. She looked at that woman with disdain. What a vixen she was. It turned out that she wanted to seduce the emperor.

Zhen Huan was startled and hid behind a small rockery, saying that her shoes and socks were wet and it was not appropriate for her to see anyone.

She was about to run away, but after taking a few steps, Zhen Huan was tripped by something and fell to the ground.

Now, she can't run away.

The emperor walked up to Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan looked up.

When the emperor saw Zhen Huan for the first time, he was a little dazed. She really looked like his beloved wife Wanwan.

Zhen Huan looked at the dragon pattern on the emperor's clothes and could no longer pretend that she didn't know that it was the emperor.

Zhen Huan knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to the Emperor."

The emperor came back to his senses and gently asked Zhen Huan to get up. Seeing Zhen Huan lowering her head shyly, he asked, "Who are you?"

It’s no wonder that the emperor couldn’t remember her for a moment. After all, Zhen Huan had been in the palace for so long and the emperor had never seen her.

Zhen Huan explained: "My concubine Sui Yuxuan Wan is here."

Hearing her say this, the emperor remembered that he was the one who gave Zhen Huan the title of Changzai, and he had wanted to make her the first one to sleep with him when she first entered the palace.

But he didn't expect that she was so ignorant of the rules that she was caught by Concubine Hua and forced to reflect in the palace for three months. At this time, looking at Zhen Huan's appearance, his anger subsided a lot.

Although she is not as good as his beloved wife Wanwan, it is not bad to be a substitute for his beloved wife whom he misses.

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan intently. When Zhen Huan saw this, she quickly lowered her head, wondering if the emperor had fallen in love with her.

But what she thought was completely different from what the emperor thought. The emperor had no feelings for Zhen Huan at this time. He was satisfied with Zhen Huan's appearance, which made her suitable as a substitute.

"Aren't you recovering from your illness? Why are you here?"

Concubine Hua helped to arrange the New Year's Eve banquet and mentioned it when she reported to him. Now that he remembered it, he asked. Of course, he had a suspicion in his heart that Zhen Huan would be here tonight, and might she be waiting here to meet him.

She chose Yime Garden specifically. Could it be that she knew that she and his Wanwan looked alike and wanted to use this to gain favor?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he doubted Zhen Huan's intentions. He even wondered if she was specially cultivated by her family because she looked so much like his Wanwan.

It is one thing for him to treat Zhen Huan as a substitute, but it is another thing for Zhen Huan to want to do something by stepping on his beloved wife.

I don't know why she is here, so I just try it out casually.

Zhen Huan's heart tightened when she heard this question. She knew that if she gave an incorrect answer, the Emperor would definitely think that she was spying on him, and she could not afford to bear such a charge.

"During the days when I was recuperating, I stayed in the palace and never went out. Tonight is New Year's Eve. I thought there would be a family banquet in the palace. There must be few people walking outside at this time, so I wanted to avoid people and come out to get some fresh air."

"Sui Yu Xuan is very close to Yi Mei Garden, so I came here as soon as possible."

Zhen Huan's answer was acceptable. The Emperor temporarily put aside his doubts and was in the mood to talk to Zhen Huan.

As they chatted, the emperor discovered that Zhen Huan was knowledgeable in poetry and literature, and he also liked this aspect very much. The two became more and more engaged in the conversation.

Yu Ying'er, who was squatting under a plum tree in the distance, clenched the plum blossoms in her hands, with jealousy in her eyes.

Why can that bitch win the emperor's favor? How can anyone who comes here at night and wants to meet the emperor be a good person?

This bitch can win the emperor's favor, why can't she?

So she let out a cry of "Ouch" and sat down on the ground. The sound was neither loud nor soft, and was just heard by the emperor and Zhen Huan who were not far away.

The two people who were talking about love stopped, and the emperor looked in the direction of the sound and said, "Who is there?"

Zhen Huan frowned. Why did she feel that what was happening now was so similar?
