Chapter 106 The Legend of Zhen Huan 1
“Consort Sun has been imprisoned in her own palace by Consort Jing for having an affair with a guard. Now we are just waiting for the Emperor’s decree to see how to deal with her.”
Zhen Huan spoke calmly, her beautiful eyebrows slightly lowered, and with a soft and melodious voice, she produced a stunning effect.
What the hell!
Sun Yingying is having an affair with the madman!
Oh hoo!
So exciting!
The ghost's eyes lit up, and it was so excited it wanted to jump eight times high.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongzheng, who was lying on the bed, was both angry and furious. His body, which was too weak to move due to illness, suddenly gained strength, and he swung his hand to knock the medicine bowl out of Zhen Huan's hand.
"Snapped!"
"I've only been ill for a short time, and she's already having an affair. Does she think I'm dead?" Yongzheng gasped for breath in anger, then leaned weakly against the soft pillows.
When did this happen?
Zhen Huan looked at Yongzheng, who was so angry he was about to jump up, and felt extremely satisfied.
She knelt down and recounted Sun's promise to have an affair, describing the details vividly.
"...The two were so engrossed in their lovemaking that they were oblivious to the world around them...They were still drenched in sweat amidst the flowers, and Sun's crimson mandarin duck bodice was still hanging on the madman's belt..."
Zhen Huan truly hated him to death! Her words enraged Yongzheng, who was furious that this shameless woman dared to have an affair with a guard so soon after he fell ill. It was utterly outrageous.
Emperor Yongzheng was furious and threatened to tear Sun and the other woman apart with five horses.
Zhen Huan felt extremely pleased to see him so angry that he was about to die, while A Piao grinned and showed off his big teeth on the side.
Relying on the fact that no one could see him, he simply sat on the bed, glancing at Zhen Huan one moment and then at Yongzheng the next, overjoyed.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled outside the window, diverting Yongzheng's attention. He looked out the window at the gloomy sky, and it seemed that some unbearable past events were flashing through his mind. His face was filled with anger and pain as he recounted his memories:
"It was a gloomy day. I hid behind the bed curtains and watched my mother being held tightly in Longkodo's arms. My father is the emperor!"
A ghost: ·····
What the hell!
The Empress Dowager was having an affair too!
Not only did Emperor Yongzheng's wife cheat on him, but even his mother cheated on him!
The ghost was caught off guard by another bombshell and immediately perked up its ears to listen to what Yongzheng had to say next.
Disappointingly, Yongzheng was already at his limit. After venting his anger, his weak body could no longer support him, and he fainted on the bed.
Zhen Huan remained unmoved, coldly glancing at the fallen man. Suppressing her disgust, she tidied his blankets, then, not wanting to linger a moment longer, turned and left.
The moment the door opened, the sound of concubines kneeling outside sobbing entered the hall. They were crying not only for Emperor Yongzheng, but also for their own uncertain future, which made the previously cheerful Ah Piao somewhat emotional.
In his previous life, when he closed his eyes, he was wondering where he would travel to this time. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself to be a ghost, right when Hongli's father, Yongzheng, had just ascended the throne. Moreover, he couldn't go far and could only wander around the palace.
He wasn't used to it at first.
However, after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he held a grand selection of concubines, and Zhen Huan and others were selected to enter the palace. Suddenly, the stagnant life in the harem became interesting.
The women in Yongzheng's harem were far superior to those chosen for Hongli.
The story features Zhen Huan, who is intelligent, beautiful, and witty; the Empress, who is kind on the surface but ruthless in reality; Consort Hua, who is arrogant and cruel; and a host of other concubines, including Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, Wen Yuan of Guarjia, and Cao Qinmo.
These women are all intelligent, shrewd, resourceful, and bold; beauty is the least important advantage for them.
They were all very shrewd in their palace intrigues, yet also very elegant, uttering many memorable quotes that kept viewers hooked.
Even if they were secretly fighting tooth and nail, they would still appear elegant and dignified on the surface.
Then think back to the concubines in Hongli's harem in his previous life...
Tsk tsk tsk!
It's simply unbearable to look at!
That old man picked out such a woman for his son, but he knows how to pick a good one for himself.
Ah Piao wasn't really a gossipy person. At first, he just followed Emperor Yongzheng to and from court and listened to the ministers discuss state affairs. But the harem was just too fascinating, and he couldn't help but watch.
The dramas I've watched in recent years, apart from the somewhat awkward part where Emperor Yongzheng, an old man in his forties or fifties, pretends to be a young man in his twenties and falls in love with the teenage Zhen Huan, have all been incredibly entertaining. You could write a book just by looking at one of the characters' experiences.
Take Zhen Huan as an example. She entered the palace at the age of seventeen through the imperial concubine selection. She experienced several ups and downs, and finally returned to the palace after several years of ascetic practice at Ganlu Temple, pregnant with Yongzheng's nephew and niece. She gained a son for nothing. Now she is Consort Xi, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and is only one step away from becoming Empress Dowager.
Who wouldn't say this life experience is amazing?
A Piao looked at the unconscious Yongzheng with a bit of regret. He was about to pass away. With the end of the Yongzheng Dynasty, it was estimated that we would not be able to see such a wonderful drama again.
'Now I can only hope that Hongli's harem will put in a good job and give me some more laughs.'
Ah Piao thought to himself.
Just as Ah Piao was lost in thought, the world suddenly darkened, followed by a dizzying spin before her eyes, and her light body suddenly gained weight.
He has a body!
Before he could even feel happy, he heard a clear female voice in his ear.
"Your Majesty, I must accuse Consort Xi of adultery and defilement of the inner palace; her crime is unforgivable!"
Those familiar lines...
Blood test for kinship!!!
He dressed up as Emperor Yongzheng!
Yongzheng suddenly opened his eyes. He paid no attention to the memories churning in his mind. He knew better than the original owner what the harem was like.
At this moment, all of the original owner's concubines, except for Shen Meizhuang who was pregnant, gathered at Jingren Palace.
Consort Qi, Guarjia Wenyuan, knelt on the ground with full confidence, her beautiful face radiating smugness.
Two other people were kneeling behind her: one was Bin'er, Zhen Huan's maid before she entered the palace, and the other was Fei Wen from Yongshou Palace.
He knew this scene all too well!
He witnessed the blood test for paternity firsthand and knew all the reasons clearly.
The Empress had long considered Zhen Huan a major threat. This time, she used Consort Qi to set a trap, accusing Zhen Huan of having an affair with Wen Shichu, intending to kill Zhen Huan in front of all the concubines and force the Emperor not to settle the matter privately. However, because she chose the wrong person for the affair, Zhen Huan turned the tables on her by using a blood test to prove paternity, and also used this to completely dispel the Emperor's suspicions about the twins.
The tense and exciting situation was very enjoyable for onlookers, but now that he had become Emperor Yongzheng, he felt uneasy.
What goes around comes around!
He had taken the original owner of this body as a joke back then, but now he's become the joke himself.
The Empress was truly driven to desperation by Zhen Huan, and all her usual calm and rationality vanished from her mind.
