Chapter 182: Yana who is more like Chun Yuan

Soon, the day came for the marriage party to enter the palace. The palace gate was fully opened before the princess' sedan chair appeared at the palace gate.

"What do you think the Queen is feeling right now? I really admire her. She's so angry inside, but she has to pretend to be gentle and virtuous on the surface. It's really tiring to watch."

In order to welcome the arrival of the Khan of the Mongol Dzungar tribe and others, the emperor specially held a banquet and led the concubines in the harem and ministers in the court to wait in the main hall.

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were sitting next to each other. Looking at the dignified face beside the emperor, Nian Shilan felt amused.

"Sister Hua, I guess she must have been planning all sorts of things in her mind for a long time. I think she's going to show off her caring and gentle elder sister image to this princess. I just wonder if this princess can see through our queen's inner self."

Zhen Huan followed Nian Shilan's gaze and looked towards the Queen, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Sister Huan, you're amazing! Your tongue is getting more and more amazing now."

Nian Shilan was not too surprised by Zhen Huan's answer. She had seen clearly during this period of time that Zhen Huan's feelings for the emperor were becoming weaker and weaker. Now, it could be said that there was almost no friendship between them.

"Sister Hua, you're too kind. I've been with you for so long, I must have learned a bit of your intelligence."

Since the distinguished guests have not yet arrived at the hall, Zhen Huan still has the leisure to chat and laugh with Nian Shilan.

Chen Meizhuang listened to the two of them chatting and laughing back and forth and shook her head helplessly. Now Huan'er is becoming more and more like Concubine Hua's personality, which is a good thing.

"Sister Hua, how is Rou Changzai doing now?"

Zhen Huan remembered that she had been very arrogant in front of her because she relied on the emperor's favor and did not take her seriously at all.

Later, she had a miscarriage. Perhaps because she felt guilty, or perhaps because of the Queen's request, she behaved herself for a while. But how could someone who had made a mistake let her get away with it so easily?

Just when Zhen Huan was thinking about teaching her a lesson, Nian Shilan had already taken action. It was such a pity to use such precious medicinal herbs on her face.

"Since she claims to be ill, she should just stay in the palace and take good care of herself."

This time, Nian Shilan did not intend to let her go easily. Since Rou Changzai cared about her face the most, she would destroy what she cared about the most, just like what Rou Changzai did to Zhen Huan's child.

Zhen Huan did not feel the slightest pity for her for this outcome. If it weren't for her, her child would have been born by now.

"Your Majesty, the troops of the Mongol Dzungar Khan have entered the palace gate."

The report from the palace maid outside the door broke the peace in the hall.

"Okay, Su Peisheng, go get the musicians ready. There can't be any mistakes at today's banquet."

"yes."

As Su Peisheng took the order and left, the Khan and the princess's team officially entered the palace gate of Kyoto at this time.

"Naya, have you really thought it through? Once you enter this palace, there are some things you can't do anything about even if you regret it."

"Brother, I've really thought it through. Yana knows that the tribe has treated her sincerely for so many years. Now Yana alone can ensure long-term stability for the tribe. Yana feels it's worth it."

A bright-looking woman sat calmly in the sedan chair. There was no fear of the unknown on her face, but only joy at the thought of her tribe members no longer having to struggle for life in the future.

"Yana, it's my brother who is useless. He actually had to sacrifice your happiness to get these. Moreover, if this marriage is successful, you and I won't be able to see each other for a long time."

"Don't worry, brother. If you miss me, just look in the direction of home. One day, we'll have the chance to meet again. Besides, I don't have anyone I love, so there's nothing wrong with this now. Besides, this is a responsibility we've had to shoulder since childhood."

"Well, you are indeed my brother's good sister. I thank you on behalf of all the tribe members."

The Khan was no longer obsessed with the marriage. Since things had come to this point, he could not add to his sister's worries.

Soon, the princess's sedan chair arrived at the gate of the palace, where the royal receptionists were already waiting.

"Khan, Princess, the Emperor has ordered me to wait here. Please accompany me to see the Emperor."

In order to show his importance to the distinguished guest, the emperor specially asked Prince Guo to wait here for the reception.

"Thank you, Prince Guo."

The Khan had been to the Qing Dynasty before and was somewhat familiar with the royal family. He recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was Prince Guo, the younger brother of the current emperor.

Everyone followed Prince Guo into the hall. Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to him. When they saw Yana raising her head and looking into the hall curiously, a gasp was heard around them.

People who have been in the palace for a while, whether they are concubines or maids serving nobles, all have a sense of déjà vu about Yana's face. Everyone's eyes first fell on Yana, and then they all looked at Zhen Huan unconsciously.

Before, there were only rumors in the palace that this princess from Mongolia who came to marry into the royal family looked very similar to the late queen. I didn't expect that it was true when I saw it with my own eyes. She even had more of the late queen's charm than the one in Yongshou Palace.

"Huan'er."

Shen Meizhuang naturally knew why everyone was looking at Zhen Huan, and she called out worriedly.

"Don't worry, Sister Mei, I'm fine."

Zhen Huan calmly comforted Shen Meizhuang. Ever since she knew why she was the only one favored by the emperor, she had thought that there would be such a day. There were thousands of women in this world, and it was not surprising that there were similarities between them. She could gain the emperor's favor because of these similarities, and the same could be true for others.

"Greetings to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. May the Emperor be blessed with good fortune and a long life."

Although Khan grew up on the grassland and has a very bold temperament, he still performs the necessary etiquette for such occasions to perfection.

"Your Highness."

Yana followed closely behind her brother and saluted the emperor, but her face did not have the cautiousness that other women showed when they first met the emperor. For her, although her trip was for marriage, she would never lower herself.

"Khan, Princess, you must be tired from the journey. Please take a seat."

The emperor had already obtained Yana's portrait before, so he naturally had some understanding of her appearance. However, his expression paused slightly when he saw her for the first time.

They look alike, indeed they do. The person in front of him looks even more like Chun Yuan than the person in the painting. There is even a hint of deeper meaning in the emperor's eyes when he looks at her.

The Queen had been secretly watching the Emperor, and naturally did not miss his momentary distraction. Her hands on her legs tightly grasped the hem of her skirt. Before, there was Zhen Huan, and now there is Yana. Why are these bitches so disgusting?

Sister, if you knew that the emperor still cares about you so much after all these years, wouldn’t you feel very proud?
