Chapter 395 Wen Yi 24
The Empress Dowager's expression wasn't good either. What's wrong with Zhen Huan?
What kind of occasion is this, to be distracted during a talent show?
The chubby orange cat casually asked, "Zhen Huan, which two characters?"
Zhen Huan remained calm and composed.
"Huanhuan, with her slender waist like that of a palace maid, is indeed my maiden name."
Upon hearing that Zhen Huan was knowledgeable in poetry, the chubby orange cat...
He has always been attracted to women who are knowledgeable in poetry and possess artistic talents.
Big Orange's brows relaxed slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
Compared to Shen Meizhuang, who was clearly well-read but claimed to only know a few characters,
He felt a bit more favorably toward Zhen Huan, who openly admitted to understanding poetry.
"These are lyrics by Cai Shen."
"Yes"
"She is quite knowledgeable in poetry and literature; Zhen Yuandao has done a good job of educating his daughter."
I just don't know if you're worthy of this name. Hold your head high.
Zhen Huan slowly raised her head, her bright eyes like water.
Her eyes sparkled like stars, and her delicate face held a gentle smile.
Like a lotus flower in its first bloom, fresh and refined.
This is exactly the kind of woman that Big Fat Orange likes.
Most importantly, Zhen Huan's face resembled that of an old friend.
Zhen Huan's appearance immediately startled both the fat orange and the Empress Dowager.
The chubby orange was initially delighted, but soon became suspicious.
Before I had that nightmare...
He must be happy to have someone similar to his beloved wife, Chun Yuan, by his side.
He thought to himself that it must be Chun Yuan's spirit manifesting itself that allowed him to meet such a woman.
Chun Yuan left when their love was at its peak.
Moreover, Chun Yuan died in childbirth while giving birth to his child.
Over the years, Chun Yuan has been repeatedly idealized in his mind.
Chun Yuan was the most important and beautiful person in his heart.
But ever since that nightmare, he has become more suspicious of everything related to Chun Yuan.
Chun Yuan was far from being as wonderful as he had imagined, and might even be hiding some secrets he didn't want to face.
Looking at Zhen Huan's face, which resembled Chun Yuan's, he felt no surprise.
My first thought was that this was another scheme orchestrated by those forces who were dissatisfied with his ascension to the throne to mislead him.
Big Fat Orange's face instantly darkened, his eyes revealing a hint of wariness and displeasure.
The Empress Dowager deeply understood the influence of Chun Yuan on the Emperor.
If Zhen Huan were to enter the palace, she would pose a great threat to the Empress.
She proposed a selection of concubines to the emperor, hoping to choose someone to enter the palace to help the Empress suppress Consort Hua.
He didn't want to bring a great enemy to the Empress.
The Empress Dowager's face darkened
"The candidate's surname is Zhen, which violates the emperor's taboo name."
Zhen Huan was startled upon hearing this, but quickly regained her composure.
She had already thought of a solution in her mind, and lowered her head.
"Your Majesty, when my father was an official, the Holy Ancestor Kangxi saw his name..."
Saying the surname Zhen is auspicious, as it sounds like the name of a loyal and upright person; let this serve as encouragement.
The Empress Dowager's accusation against her was too great; Zhen Huan absolutely could not accept it.
If she doesn't argue back, it will inevitably affect her parents and family.
Even if she wanted to lose the election, she would do so discreetly.
Instead of worrying about such a serious crime
Although the chubby orange girl became suspicious of Zhen Huan, she had a face similar to that of the late Empress Chun Yuan.
Then Zhen Huan would have no choice but to enter the palace.
By keeping Zhen Huan under his watchful eye, he could thoroughly investigate the conspiracy behind it all.
And seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't want Zhen Huan to enter the palace, the chubby orange insisted on letting her go.
The chubby orange cat quickly tried to smooth things over for Zhen Huan.
"I understand what the late emperor meant, but I've just remembered something..."
Jiangnan has its two Qiao sisters, Hebei has its Zhen Mi beauty; the Zhen family produces many beauties.
Zhen Mi was one of the three great beauties of the late Han Dynasty.
There are beauties in Jiangnan, and I must have such a beauty!
Zhen Huan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing what the chubby orange had said.
At the same time, there was a mixture of trepidation and delight in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The Empress Dowager saw that the Emperor was determined to bring Zhen Huan into the palace.
For this, she didn't hesitate to offend her, the Empress Dowager.
Seeing the emperor's erratic behavior, the Empress Dowager became even more worried.
This Zhen Huan looks so much like Chun Yuan, and she can even recite poetry.
Once she entered the palace, where would the empress find a foothold?
If the emperor projected all the regrets he had with Chun Yuan onto Zhen Huan...
The Empress has become increasingly extreme in recent years; if she were to be further provoked by Zhen Huan...
I'm afraid she'll go mad, and then all the things the Empress has done over the years will probably come out of the dark.
That would likely be a catastrophe for the Ulanara family.
Thinking about all this, the Empress Dowager became even more determined to stop it.
The Empress Dowager quickly devised another way to make things difficult for Zhen Huan.
The chubby orange cat saw that the Empress Dowager did not immediately respond.
They guessed that the Empress Dowager would still try to stop them, and the chubby orange cat was already impatient.
I don't want to waste any more time.
Big Fat Orange stood up
"That's settled then, Zhen Huan, keep the nameplate."
Your Majesty, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.
After saying that, the chubby orange cat seemed afraid that the Empress Dowager would object again, and strode away.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager's dissatisfaction with Zhen Huan grew even stronger.
But the emperor is the ruler of the land, and he has already made his decision.
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to accept it.
As soon as the chubby orange returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it asked about the matter that Su Peisheng had asked it to investigate.
When Su Peisheng heard the Emperor ask about this matter, his expression changed slightly, and he stammered:
"Your Majesty, this servant is incompetent. The matter of the mansion is quite old."
The former lackeys are either dead or have left, so there's really nothing left to find.
The chubby orange cat frowned, already feeling annoyed.
Hearing Su Peisheng say that only added fuel to the fire.
But after thinking about it, Big Fat Orange realized that if there was nothing fishy about these things...
It's impossible to leave none of those lackeys alive; it's highly likely they were silenced.
"How is the investigation going regarding Consort Fang and Consort Xin's miscarriages after they entered the palace?"
Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Your Majesty, Consort Xin slipped and fell on a stone in the Imperial Garden."
The servant asked the servants who were working in the Imperial Garden at the time,
But the servants all said that the imperial garden had been carefully maintained.
No one saw the stone, and no one knows who placed it.
"Hmph," the fat orange snorted coldly, "these have probably all been swept up by someone."
Who in the harem could handle this matter so cleanly and efficiently?
Perhaps only the Empress Dowager, who has cultivated her influence in the harem for many years, could achieve this.
The big fat orange is upset; the big fat orange is heartbroken.
Did Huangdun's mother even respect her son?
The fat orange cat's anger was hard to quell, and he slammed his fist on the table.
The teacups on the table rattled loudly, and tea spilled all over the floor.
"Su Peisheng, I have been on the throne for several months now."
"You, the chief eunuch, are so incompetent in even controlling the palace; what use are you!"
Su Peisheng was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud.
He couldn't let the emperor replace him.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Actually, regarding Consort Fang..."
This servant found something in the Broken Jade Pavilion.
The servant guessed it might be related to Consort Fang's miscarriage.
"I'm just about to ask Physician Zhang to take a look."
The chubby orange asked, "What is it? Go and find Zhang Mi."
Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Su Peisheng quickly responded and stood up. His apprentice asked Xiao Xiazi to go and call for help.
A short while later, Zhang Mi rushed over, bowed, and stood aside.
Su Peisheng had someone bring out a tray with something covered with a brocade cloth on it.
Big Fat Orange asked Zhang Mi to look at what was on the tray.
Zhang Lian hurriedly agreed.
