"Your Majesty, you have made Shil 's life so bitter!"
Concubine Hua Nian Shilan, who had always been arrogant and domineering, despaired when she learned that the culprit behind h...
Chapter 96 Daily Life in Penglai Island
For Zhen Huan, the time after giving birth passed quickly. There was a special nanny who was responsible for taking care of the two children, and she was asked by Huanbi and others to take good care of her health.
"My lady, I've already told you that you can't move around too often. Lie down quickly."
"My lady, you can't use any strength yet. Please give the princess to me."
"Young Master"
"Young Master"
However, the only thing that made Zhen Huan helpless was that after this delivery, the little girls around her always treated her as a fragile doll, and would panic and stop her at the slightest sign of trouble, which often made her feel a little amused and helpless.
"Huanbi, I'm really fine. Didn't Doctor Wen also say that you need to move around properly after giving birth to recover better?"
When Huanbi tried to stop her from getting up again, Zhen Huan couldn't help but speak out, and she looked particularly aggrieved.
"Okay, I understand. I asked Doctor Wen a few days ago, and it's true that I was mistaken."
Looking at Zhen Huan's helpless expression, Huanbi couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Hey, speaking of Doctor Wen, I suddenly thought of something. How are you and him doing now?"
The days in Penglai Island were somewhat monotonous. When Zhen Huan heard Huanbi mention Wen Shichu's name, the gossip flame in her heart began to burn.
"Young Master~~~"
Although Huanbi always showed her initiative in this relationship in front of Wen Shichu, she was still a little embarrassed when she was teased by her own mistress. But in the blink of an eye, she looked at Zhen Huan with shyness in her eyes.
"I see. This means it's almost done. It looks like I'll have to prepare a dowry for you after we leave Penglai Island."
Just from one look from Huanbi, Zhen Huan knew that the two of them were making good progress.
This is indeed the case. After Huanbi gave Wen Shichu a handkerchief last time, Wen Shichu thought a lot and no longer rejected Huanbi's approach. Later, the two of them spent day and night together, and their mutual understanding became deeper and deeper.
Looking at Huanbi's happy face, Zhen Huan was happy for her from the bottom of her heart. She was content that her sister had the pure love that she could not have.
"By the way, where's the child?"
Seeing that Huanbi's hands were empty, Zhen Huan asked curiously.
Ever since the child was born, although there were nannies and wet nurses here, Huanbi would still hold the child in her arms whenever she had time, which always made Liuzhu laugh at her and told her that if she loved children so much, she might as well just give birth to one herself.
"She was taken away by the wet nurse to be fed."
"By the way, young lady, while you were asleep just now, Su Peisheng sent someone to deliver a message, saying that they would welcome you back to the palace in a few days."
Until now, the prince and princess have not been named. Zhen Huan knew that the names of royal children were not decided by their mothers, so she did not make any decisions on her own.
"What about Lingrong? She's been working hard these days."
"Ms. An saw that the weather was nice today, so she took Baojuan for a walk outside."
"That's good."
Zhen Huan was very grateful to An Lingrong for stepping forward this time. Although coming to Penglai Island was something she and the emperor had discussed before, no one knew what would happen next. She was still a little scared, and having An Lingrong by her side made her feel much better.
Looking at the sunshine outside the window, everyone's mood will be much better.
"My lady, Miss Shen and Concubine Hua have sent someone to deliver something."
"Really? Bring it here and let me see it."
Liu Zhu's joyful shouts outside the house interrupted the tranquility inside the house.
These days, Nian Shilan and Shen Meizhuang have been sending things here from time to time, including all kinds of food and daily necessities, and more often children's clothes.
"Empress Hua and Sister Mei are really thoughtful. They almost moved all the things in the palace here these days."
Zhen Huan opened the two packages in front of her, which were filled with various children's clothes. Looking down, she found some nourishing medicines for her and An Lingrong, which was very touching.
"My lady, Consort Shen also sent a message saying that a great event will be waiting for you when you return to the palace. I wanted to ask her again, but the person who came stopped talking, making it very mysterious."
Zhen Huan did not have too many emotional ups and downs. Now that she had given birth to a child, she just hoped that the child would be safe and that her good sisters would be safe. That was enough. As for other things, she would not care too much.
At this time, both children happened to wake up. After the wet nurse brought them in, Huanbi and Liuzhu rushed to hold them.
"My lady, look at this little princess. She looks exactly like you. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
Liu Zhu carried the princess to Zhen Huan and asked her to take a closer look.
The child's eyebrows and eyes are indeed 50% similar to Zhen Huan. I guess when he grows up, they will be even more similar.
"You can tell the child looks like me even though he's still young. Children his age all look pretty much the same."
"That servant doesn't care. I just think the little princess and the young lady are very similar."
Liu Zhu's childish words amused everyone in the room, and for a moment, the air seemed to become warmer.
"Sister Wan."
At this time, An Lingrong hurriedly walked in from outside. Her face looked calm, but Zhen Huan could see a hint of panic in it.
Zhen Huan gave a wink to Huanbi and the others, and they immediately took the children and took everyone else away. At this time, only Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were left in the room.
"Lingrong, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Sister Wan, I just received a letter from Concubine Hua. She said the Queen already knew that I didn't do what she asked, and she secretly sent people to capture my mother. Fortunately, Concubine Hua reminded me before, so I took my mother out of the An family early, otherwise I don't know what would have happened now."
An Lingrong is still a little scared when she thinks about this matter now. The only family member she cares about in this world is her mother. If her mother encounters any accident because of her, she will have sleepless nights for the rest of her life.
Zhen Huan knew An Lingrong's worries, so she pulled her to sit beside her and patted her hand soothingly.
"Fortunately, your mother is now being housed in a manor owned by the Nian family. With the Nian family protecting her, her life will be safe. You don't have to worry too much. We'll be back in a few days, and we'll have more news then. However, Lingrong, be prepared for this trip. The Queen will definitely find fault with you, and we won't sit idly by."
Now the Queen knows that An Lingrong is not really working for her. After they return to the palace, the Queen will definitely try every possible means to make trouble for An Lingrong.
"Lingrong, I owe you this time."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Even if I didn't come with you this time, the Queen would still let me do other things in the future. And I know very well that in the eyes of the Queen, I am just a dispensable pawn, and the result will definitely not be good."
An Lingrong saw all this very clearly. She could only have a glimmer of hope of survival in the future if she stayed closely with Zhen Huan.
"Sister Wan, as long as the Queen is around, we sisters will continue to live in fear."
An Lingrong said something meaningful to Zhen Huan.
"No rush. Let's discuss this with Concubine Hua and the others after we return to the palace."
Zhen Huan knew what An Lingrong said, but this matter could not be rushed and required careful planning.
