Recalling those days before, she was a good little master. It wakes up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, and eats more than a pig...
Well, it still tastes better than pigs.
It was really miserable. When she was in her senior year of high school, she got up half an hour later than she does now!
"Your Majesty's kindness, I am very grateful. It's just that Hong Zhou is still young, so I won't be at ease if I leave everything to my grandma."
"You just got a beautiful woman here. Wan Changzai has read a lot and is proficient in music. Isn't it better to play the flute for the emperor while adding fragrance to the red sleeves than to stand there as a concubine?"
After saying that, Sun Miaoqing chuckled twice, his eyes full of teasing.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but Zhen Huan always felt that Cheng Bin's tone sounded weird, but it didn't sound like she was jealous.
The same goes for Big Fat Orange, but he didn't expect it to be a good thing. If you don't know, you don't know.
Trying to figure out everything will only make you mad.
Big Fat Jue said, "Since you have to take care of Hong Zhou, go back quickly. Hong Zhou can't see you making trouble again, so don't let anyone send you to the Yangxin Hall to comfort me."
Sun Miaoqing said, "I understand."
"My concubine is out for a while, so she won't delay the emperor and Wan Chang's visit to the garden."
[Sure enough, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Well, you fat orange, you even ignored your son just to pick up girls. 】
[Even if it’s my pension insurance, it’s the boss who should pay the bulk! 】
Pension?
Big Fat Orange was confused, did he mean to raise a child to protect himself from old age?
Since this is the case, he shouldn't care about it anymore. After all, he doesn't need his son to support him in his old age.
On the contrary, these brats always only ask him for this or that. When he grows up, he will still covet the throne under his butt.
Thinking of this, Big Fat Orange felt more and more at ease.
After Sun Miaoqing left, Big Fat Orange took Zhen Huan's little hand again and expressed his heartfelt feelings.
"That's what she has. It's because I was too indulgent towards her before. When she lost her temper, she dared to point at my nose and curse, like a shrew."
"Sooner or later, I will take care of her and let her know how powerful she is."
Zhen Huan saw Big Fat Orange's duplicity and thought he was just farting.
He only dared to say a few words behind his back. In front of Sun Miaoqing just now, he had never been so tough.
Zhen Huan said, "Although Concubine Cheng is young, she has a pure character. Everyone in the palace loves and protects her, especially the emperor. That's why she still maintains her childish temperament after being in the palace for so long."
"The Emperor also said that you were the one who set it out before. Why are you blaming Concubine Cheng now?"
Big Fat Orange squinted his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why are you so familiar with Concubine Cheng? You speak for her everywhere."
Zhen Huan said, "The emperor has forgotten that the concubine and the concubine Cheng entered the palace on the same day."
"Later on, during the days when I was recuperating from my illness, Concubine Cheng also came to Suiyuxuan to visit me, and she was able to say a few words."
"A few days ago, I was sent two boxes of milk candies. They said that the Honey Restaurant is about to open. I will give them to my concubine's mother's house to taste first and give her opinions."
"My concubine's family is full of praises, especially the younger sister, who can't wait to use it as a meal. My mother was worried that she would damage her teeth, so she had an iron box made to lock it."
"Now I cry and make noises. I don't know who I learned from. I'm rolling on the ground. I don't look like a lady at all."
Big Fat Orange remembered what Su Peisheng had said before, that this was what happened. Sun Miaoqing didn't even let go of those official women who were born as palace maids, let alone Zhen Huan, who was always there.
Although she is a true concubine, she is not liked by the Queen Mother. But it seems that he has been getting along well with other people.
Even if she occasionally made sarcastic remarks, they were all said and forgotten, and it did not prevent her from talking and laughing with others at all.
To put it bluntly, it was just because the jealousy was shown to him, but in fact, he did not take him as the emperor to heart at all.
Big Fat Orange is in a bad mood and needs someone to coax him around. He deliberately asked Zhen Huan,
"What about you, aren't you jealous?"
"Everyone in the palace knows that I am a spoiled concubine. When I came here just now, I heard you and Liu Zhu talking about her."
Zhen Huan lowered her head shyly, "Did you hear it? The emperor didn't even remind the concubines when he came!"
Big Fat Orange said, "I saw that you were absorbed in chatting, so I didn't interrupt you."
Zhen Huan said coquettishly, "I envy Sister Sun's good fortune. Being favored by her husband is the most coveted thing for any woman in the world."
"This matter has nothing to do with status, nor talent, appearance, and temperament. It cannot be forced."
Big Fat Orange becomes more and more satisfied with Zhen Huan as he looks at her. She is similar to Chun Yuan in appearance and talent. Even his temperament is as gentle, elegant, generous and tolerant as Chun Yuan was back then.
"You are not fully recovered yet, and you have been here with me for so long. I will accompany you back to the palace, and then we will appreciate this music score with you."
After saying that, Big Fat Orange directly hugged Zhen Huan, causing Zhen Huan to scream in surprise.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Concubine, it's better to come down and go. I don't dare to make the emperor work so hard."
Big Fat Orange smiled and said, "It's okay, you're not heavy either."
Zhen Huan was so ashamed that she buried her head in Big Fat Orange's chest and let him carry her back to Sui Yuxuan.
The maids and eunuchs he met along the way were stunned. It was the first time for the emperor to carry a concubine back to the palace in public.

Qianqiu Pavilion
Concubine Hua stood at a high place, holding a Western telescope in her hand, and could clearly see the scene just now from a high position.
It wasn't until Big Fat Orange carried someone into Broken Yuxuan that he put down his things.
Although she doesn't care about Big Fat Orange's favor now, her hatred is as deep as her love over the years.
But seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but compare it secretly in my mind.
When she was most favored, the emperor only took her to ride horses and kept her by his side. He had never carried her back in front of everyone.
This also confirmed her guess that there must be some secret in this woman. Otherwise, even if we only met a few times and liked him, we wouldn't like him to this extent.
Concubine Hua asked, "Has there been any result about the investigation I asked you to do? What's different about Zhen Huan?"
Zhou Ninghai said, "Reporting to your Majesty, I have asked people to inquire carefully. In addition to outstanding appearance, this Wan Changzai is also proficient in poetry and calligraphy, and is good at music, singing and dancing."
"There is no difference between her and ordinary ladies elsewhere, and she had no interaction with the emperor before the draft."
"Perhaps it's because she is good-looking and well-spoken that the emperor is interested in her."
"But my servant also found out that when the position was determined, the emperor originally wanted to give her the status of a noble."
"It's just that both the Manchu and Mongolian banners only have one nobleman, and Shen Zishan's official position is higher than Zhen Yuandao. After the queen reminded him a few times, the emperor gave up the idea, but he still personally gave him the word Wan as a title."
Songzhi said, "Speaking of this, I feel puzzled. Wanzi is not a good title. If the emperor is so serious about it, why did he choose this one instead of so many nice words?"
Concubine Hua frowned and thought, "I know the emperor well. He will not care about a woman like this just because of a few words about the palace selection."
"Zhen Huan's father was the Young Minister of Dali Temple. He was not a great official. He had no military power and did not have much influence on the government."
"If it's not because of these, there must be other reasons. Let's find out more."
"By the way, who was her tutoring aunt before entering the palace?"
Songzhi thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Fangruo."
Concubine Hua smiled sarcastically, "That's right. It seems that the answer to my questions must fall on these old people in the harem."
"Fang Ruo is the emperor's confidant and has been serving you in the Yangxin Hall. I don't know when I can teach the young master the rules and trouble her."
