Chapter 344: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 28
Given the imperial concubine's arrogant and domineering personality, I wonder if she is easy to get along with?
"Your Highness, you are too polite..." The round-faced nanny smiled.
"It is a blessing for us servants to be able to share your worries."
In the blink of an eye, it was June and Wen Yuan's birthday was approaching.
Yinzhen had already instructed Su Peisheng to secretly prepare a grand birthday banquet for the imperial concubine.
One day, Wen Yuan was strolling in the imperial garden when she suddenly saw a bright yellow figure not far away. It was Yinzhen.
She was delighted and lifted her skirt to go forward, but she saw that there was someone following Yinzhen - it was the annoying person who lingered in her mind day and night - Zhen Huan!
Zhen Huan was wearing a light pink Manchu dress, which made her look even more delicate and charming. She was saying something to Yinzhen with her head lowered. Her pitiful appearance made Wen Yuan furious.
Wen Yuan was burning with anger. She wanted to see what tricks this little bitch was playing!
She quickened her pace and walked towards Yinzhen.
"Your Majesty~" Wen Yuan deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a bit of coquettishness and pampering, like a lazy cat, trying to attract Yinzhen's attention with her sweet voice.
When Yinzhen heard Wen Yuan's voice, a doting smile immediately appeared on his face. He turned around, opened his arms, and embraced Wen Yuan in his arms.
"Why is Yuan'er here?" Yinzhen stroked Wen Yuan's hair gently, his tone full of doting.
Wen Yuan fell into Yinzhen's arms and deliberately glanced at Zhen Huan who was standing beside her. She saw that she had her head down and her facial expression could not be seen clearly.
"I'm here to see the emperor. Why is he here?" Wen Yuan asked in a tender voice, drawing circles on Yinzhen's chest with her slender fingers.
Wen Yuan's eyes widened, not hiding her hostility, and her tone was sharp and questioning: "Your Majesty, why did you bring her here? I thought Your Majesty wanted to accompany me today."
"Yuan'er misunderstood!" Yinzhen explained hurriedly, holding Wen Yuan's hand and squeezing it gently, as if he was comforting a furry kitten.
"I was just taking a walk in the Imperial Garden and happened to run into her."
Wen Yuan sneered in her heart, Zhen Huan, you are good at pretending to win Yinzhen's sympathy!
She didn't believe what Yinzhen said. What did they happen to meet? It was obvious that this little bitch was deliberately hanging around in the Imperial Garden to attract Yinzhen's attention!
"Oh? Really?" Wen Yuan deliberately prolonged the last syllable of her voice, her eyes moving as she looked at Zhen Huan with a bit of provocation.
"That's really a coincidence. I thought some people came here on purpose to wait for the emperor so that they could have a chance encounter!"
Wen Yuan's words were spoken in a sarcastic tone, with explicit praise and implicit criticism. Anyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Zhen Huan naturally heard it, but she remained calm and continued to stand aside with her head lowered, looking weak and vulnerable.
"Sister, you're joking..." Zhen Huan smiled gently, her voice soft and sweet, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
"I am weak, and it was the doctor's suggestion that I go out for a walk. How dare I hope to meet the emperor by chance?"
As Zhen Huan spoke, she coughed lightly a few times, as if she was really terminally ill.
"Oh, my sister has such a precious body..." Wen Yuan smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, but her tone was full of sarcasm.
"That's right. In the harem, you are the most honorable one, my sister. Unlike me, I have thick skin and flesh. Why do I need the imperial physician to come and see me every day?"
Yinzhen frowned as he listened to the verbal sparring between the two. He could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in Wen Yuan's words, but he did not mean to blame her. Instead, he thought her willful and capricious look was somewhat cute.
Yinzhen's eyebrows were stern, and his tone was a little unhappy: "Wanpin, why don't you greet the imperial concubine when you see her?"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's body trembled noticeably. She slowly raised her head, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. As if she had suffered a great injustice, she looked at Yinzhen pitifully.
"Your concubine... Your concubine..." She hesitated to speak, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, looking as if she could not bear the humiliation.
"I was not feeling well and did not see the Royal Concubine arriving just now. Please forgive me." Zhen Huan said softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, but just loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
"Oh? Sister, are you not feeling well?" Wen Yuan raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her tone.
"I see that my sister looks rosy and energetic, so how can she look unwell? Could it be that my sister is pretending to be sick and doesn't want to pay respect to me?"
"I dare not!" Zhen Huan knelt down quickly.
"I am indeed feeling unwell, Your Majesty, please understand!"
Wen Yuan rushed to Zhen Huan, pointed at her nose and cursed: "Zhen Huan, you are so good, trying to play this trick in front of me?! Do you think the emperor will believe you?!"
When Yinzhen saw that Wen Yuan was angry, instead of scolding her, he comforted her softly, "Yuan'er, you are weak, don't get angry. Wanpin, why don't you apologize to the imperial concubine!"
"I dare not." Zhen Huan was still kneeling on the ground, but there was more stubbornness in her eyes and her voice was weaker.
"I am just feeling unwell. I did not mean to offend the Imperial Concubine. Your Majesty, please understand!"
"Your Majesty, look at her, she is so tearful, if you don't know, you would think I have bullied her!" Wen Yuan said, deliberately covering her mouth with a handkerchief and coughing exaggeratedly a few times.
"I just said a few words to her, and she pretended to be dying to win your sympathy. What a good trick!"
Zhen Huan lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to endure something.
Yinzhen's brows were tightly knitted together, and his deep eyes swept across Zhen Huan who was kneeling on the ground, and then fell on the smug Wen Yuan.
He naturally understood Zhen Huan's thoughts. Who in the harem didn't come with a purpose? However, his Yuan'er would not tolerate any grievance.
"Princess Wan, you are committing treason and talking back to the Imperial Concubine. Why don't you admit your mistake now?" Yinzhen spoke in a stern tone, obviously dissatisfied with Zhen Huan's just explanation.
Wen Yuan was secretly happy in her heart, but she still looked angry. She glanced at Zhen Huan who was kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I..." Zhen Huan wanted to explain further but was interrupted impatiently by Yinzhen.
"You don't listen to me? Or do you simply don't take the imperial concubine seriously?" Yinzhen slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.
Zhen Huan's body trembled and her face turned pale in an instant. She bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Your Majesty, I dare not, I just..."
"Just what?" Yinzhen pressed, "Do you just think that the imperial concubine is being unreasonable? Or do you think that I favor the imperial concubine?"
