Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Chapter 173 Mo Chou

My grandfather had been to Ningguta and told Huimin in detail about Zhen Yuandao's recent situation.

Although the Zhen family did not have to be enslaved, they were exiled as criminals and did not receive any good treatment.

Mai Zhu met with the manager there privately, gave them some silver, and asked them to take care of the Zhen family.

The weather in Ningguta was bitterly cold and Zhen Yuandao even fell ill. Fortunately, Mai Zhu asked someone to give him some medicine, otherwise he would have had a hard time.

Madam Zhen and Zhen Yurao had never done housework before, but when they went there, they had to do all the hard work.

Their family really lived a hard life. Zhen Yuandao and Madam Zhen looked like they had aged ten years. Zhen Yurao was a delicate young lady who had planned to pick a good husband to marry into the family. But after going to Ningguta, she could forget about that.

Even a beautiful young girl, if she has no one to protect her, one can imagine what will happen to her.

But Mai Zhu found out that someone from higher up had given instructions to take care of the Zhen family.

If Mai Zhu wants to find out who it is, he can do so, but it will take more effort.

But this result surprised Mai Zhu.

Prince Guo!

When did the Zhen family get in touch with Prince Guo?

The key point is, the Zhen family is in this situation now. It seems that they had no contact with Prince Guo in the past. What makes Prince Guo take care of them now?

It is not easy to come to Ningguta. Mai Zhu has a job to do, but Prince Guo, why did you make such a trip?

The more Mai Zhu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickly wrote a letter to Huimin.

With Mai Zhu's political acumen, he felt that this matter could be used to make a fuss.

There are a lot of tricks involved here.

But the things he couldn't dig out, maybe his granddaughter could find out.

The harem has its own ways.

Huimin was not surprised at all when she received the letter.

When Zhen Huan was still in the palace, Prince Guo had that intention.

Not to mention that Zhen Huan was banished from the palace. If she fell asleep, someone would bring her a pillow.

He had little chance while Zhen Huan was in the palace, but things were very different after she left the palace.

One has a hard life, the other lends a helping hand.

One is in a depressed mood, the other takes the initiative.

They are young men and women, it would be easy for them to develop feelings.

Huimin was not surprised at all.

It's a good thing that Prince Guo and Zhen Huan are together.

Huimin was very happy.

This is very helpful for future plans.

Now that there are new people, the old ones will naturally be forgotten. Huimin doesn't want to have any more rivals.

So he wrote a letter to Mai Zhu, telling him not to spread the news and just pretend he didn't know.

The emperor's temper is such that the more he can't get something, the more he misses it.

Zhen Huan's temper is a little unruly, which makes the emperor want to tame her even more.

Didn’t you see that the emperor still mentions Concubine Wan from time to time?

He told people in the palace not to mention it again, but he mentioned it many times himself.

Huimin also followed the emperor's thoughts and took the initiative to suggest that everyone in the palace go to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings.

The emperor was naturally eager to go down the ladder and agreed immediately.

Huimin also needs such an opportunity to see how Zhen Huan is doing before making plans.

It happened that Jinghe and Hongxi were born during this period.

Huimin also suggested that Zhen Huan copy scriptures to pray for the princes and princesses, and that someone be sent to get them every month.

The emperor also agreed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huimin brought some spare clothes to Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang got some tonic medicine for Zhen Huan, and Concubine Jing wrote a letter to tell about the princess's recent situation.

Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away and the Empress is in name only, the power in the palace is mainly in the hands of Huimin and Concubine Jing.

Many things work much better.

Huimin also brought a letter to Zhen Huan, saying that her grandfather Maizhu went to Ningguta for an inspection and visited her family. He also asked someone to take care of them and told her not to worry.

However, when the day came to actually go to Ganlu Temple, the emperor himself felt a little uneasy.

After going there, Huimin also took the initiative to mention Mochou.

I want to meet the present Zhen Huan.

But no one expected that when they really met Zhen Huan, they would find out that all she did was hard work.

You have to do all the dirty and tiring work, and even carry and pick up firewood yourself.

Liuzhu and Huanbi, who lived with her, had an even harder life.

But even so, Zhen Huan still did not regret it.

Seeing that Zhen Huan still refused to bow her head, the emperor became angry again and left in anger.

And those nuns saw that Zhen Huan was so disliked by the emperor, and they knew without a doubt that their lives would only become more difficult in the future.

Shen Meizhuang also spoke up for Zhen Huan, saying that Zhen Huan was practicing Buddhism under the emperor's order and should not do such work.

But the nun named Jingbai said something about having long left the worldly world, and that this was all part of her practice, allowing Mochou to cultivate her mind.

She wanted to give Shen Meizhuang a good scolding, but Zhen Huan still had to stay here, and she couldn't offend these people. After all, they didn't dare to do anything to the ladies in the palace, but they had plenty of ways to deal with Zhen Huan.

I had to hold my breath.

In private, Huimin and Shen Meizhuang found an opportunity to be alone with Zhen Huan for a while.

Talk to each other about your current life so that you don’t miss each other.

Huimin also knew what was going on with Zhen Huan.

However, in the palace, Zhen Huan learned that Shen Meizhuang gave birth to Jinghe and Huimin gave birth to Hongxi, and she was very happy for them.

I couldn't help but ask about Longyue's situation.

Huimin comforted her:

"Everything is fine with Longyue. You have found a good adoptive mother for Longyue. Imperial Concubine Jing loves Longyue very much. The emperor also likes this child. Among the princesses, Wen Yi and Longyue are the most favored. However, Imperial Concubine Jing has a high position and still has the power in the palace. Longyue lives a better life than Wen Yi."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan felt a little relieved.

Zhen Huan missed her daughter very much as she left her just a few days after she was born.

After all, they are my own flesh and blood.

"Noble Concubine Jing has no children, so she naturally treats Longyue as her own daughter. You can rest assured."

Shen Meizhuang also comforted her.

After all, Longyue was separated from her biological mother, but when it comes to the emperor's attention, even Jinghe herself cannot compare to her.

Alas, when Shen Meizhuang thought of this, she felt bitter in her heart.

Jinghe is not as favored by the emperor as his brother, and does not receive much more attention from the emperor than his sisters.

As a mother, you have to plan your future.

But seeing that Longyue was so favored by the emperor, although Shen Meizhuang felt sorry for Zhen Huan and loved Longyue because of Zhen Huan, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of the emperor's favoritism.

Her Jinghe is also the emperor's daughter and a good child.

But Shen Meizhuang couldn't say this in front of Zhen Huan.

Huimin is still better. She has two sons. The elder son is valued by the emperor, and the younger son is also favored by the emperor.

Two healthy children.

Although the emperor liked his son Hongjun, he was in poor health.

Seeing Shen Meizhuang's sad face, Zhen Huan asked:

"Sister Mei, what's wrong?"

Shen Meizhuang curled her lips and said, "Nothing."

"I feel sad when I think of Huan'er doing these things outside."

Min'er and I have always been good friends, and she has helped me so much. Everyone has their own fate. She also comes from a prominent family, so I don't have much objection.

But the moon is hazy and the peace is peaceful.

Shen Meizhuang still had some opinions in her mind.

The emperor is too partial.
