Chapter 242 Huanbi 11
Chapter 242 Huanbi 11
When Zhen Huan went to the Imperial Garden to swing again, Huanbi was preparing underwear for Zhen Huan. Upon hearing this, she stood up and planned to go with her, but was stopped by Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan smiled at her and said gently, "Huanbi, take a rest and relax. I will be back soon after I relax for a while."
Liu Zhu was still in the room, so when Zhen Huan said the word "eldest sister", she just mouthed it but didn't speak out loud.
Since Zhen Huan said so and called herself "elder sister", Huanbi had no choice but to go back to her old ways. Could it be that she was afraid that her only good friend would be involved with Zhen Huan? So she wanted to go with them and supervise them?
Thinking about her elder sister's good intentions towards her, Huanbi held back her words.
Liu Zhu didn't notice the two people's wit, and she was still complaining that Zhen Huan was partial to Huanbi, and that she was reluctant to let Huanbi work hard but didn't feel sorry for her.
The two of them left Shuiyuxuan chatting and laughing.
Huanbi was left sitting alone on the couch, and she could no longer sew with the needle and thread in her hands with patience.
In fact, if Huanbi thought about it carefully, she would find that something was wrong.
Yesterday, Zhen Huan said that she was afraid that "Prince Guo" was a bad person, so she deliberately revealed the fact that the two of them had had private interactions. If that was the case, why did she have to bring Liu Zhu with her today?
Could Zhen Huan be sure today that she would not meet "Prince Guo" and that no one more person would know about this?
……
Imperial Garden, swing area.
This time the emperor arrived early and was sitting on the swing. I have to say, the swing was well made.
The emperor was struggling in the Yangxin Palace for several days and decided to see Huanbi again. Don't get me wrong, he was not reluctant to let her go. He was planning to give Huanbi a severe beating to vent the anger that had accumulated in his heart!
For this reason, he specially brought Su Peisheng with him today. In the past, he was alone in order to get closer to Huanbi.
"I've met the prince."
Hearing the voice, the emperor turned his head. He had already planned to let Su Peisheng lead Huanbi away first, and then he would get rid of Wan Changzai and teach Huanbi a lesson.
But when they looked closely, they found that the palace maid that Wan Chang brought with her was not Huanbi.
"Well," the emperor sat lazily on the swing and refused to move.
Why isn’t Huanbi here today? Is it because Concubine Wan didn’t bring her, or is it that she doesn’t want to come?
When the emperor thought of the second possibility, that she didn't want to come, he became furious.
He had spoiled this girl enough, because she was unhappy with him paying attention to Wan Changzai before, and after that he became silent when Wan Changzai was around. Last time, he was also considerate of her feelings and did not directly reveal the fact that they knew each other. Even this time when he said he wanted to teach her a lesson, he was concerned about not doing it in front of Wan Changzai.
But she didn't want to come?!
Haha, the emperor was clouded by his own speculation and was burning with anger. He thought bitterly in his heart, didn’t you want him to talk to Wan Chang?
He said so!
Over there, Zhen Huan also had a very accurate sense of timing. "Li Qingzhao once wrote a poem called Dian Jiang Chun: After Playing on the Swing, I got up and slept with my hands. It was about a woman who liked to swing, but I didn't expect that the prince did too."
The emperor immediately responded, "Have you read Li Qingzhao's poems?"
This question is totally unnecessary. Every educated person has read Li Qingzhao's poems.
"That's natural, Li Qingzhao..."
Although Zhen Huan failed to pass the imperial examination, she still studied hard, but she did not read those books about the imperial examination, so she was very well-read.
The emperor originally preferred Han women, and even more so those who had something to say, so the two of them chatted happily.
The emperor then realized that Concubine Wan was a person of real talent. Just as he had developed a liking for her, he suddenly remembered a line of poetry - "Hanhuan has a slender waist like a palace maid."
This line of poetry was used by Zhen Huan to introduce her maiden name during the palace selection, and it was pronounced as huan. It was also used by the Emperor to tease Huanbi for her thin waist, and it was pronounced as xuan.
The emperor shook his head. He understood the little thoughts behind this person's selection, but the meaning of this poem was not good and it was not something a woman should recite in public.
Boring. The emperor glanced at this person. It was her blessing that her face looked like Chunyuan, but it was a pity that she was not even one-tenth as pure and kind as Chunyuan.
Not even as simple as Huanbi.
