Chapter 38: Grounded (Additional update)
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor was very angry when he heard the extremely familiar lines. How could someone else learn the wrong verses that Empress Chunyuan deliberately said.

It's even fair that he and Rong'er happened to be passing by here, so they imitated him!
An Lingrong was furious when she saw Emperor Long Yan, and a smile of success appeared on her lips.

Sister Wan, you also have today.

"Who, who is there?"

Zhen Huan heard a low-alcohol male voice suddenly coming from behind the flower trees in the distance, and was startled. There was someone else in the garden!And he's a man!

She immediately fell silent, extinguished the lamp in her hand, and flashed behind a plum tree. The man paused and asked again: "Who is it? If you don't come out, I will ask the slaves to thoroughly investigate the entire Yimei Garden!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he saw everything around him was quiet, and heard the soft rustling of snow on the branches as the wind blew it. No one responded for a long while.

At this time, Zhen Huan was thinking that the snow was pure white, and the shadows of the numerous flowers and trees were intertwined, like the shadows of countless coral branches. It was not that easy to find her.

Just as she held her breath, she slowly landed on her feet and moved out, fearing that she would make a sound if she stepped heavily on the snow.

But An Lingrong pulled the emperor closer and closer based on intuition, and her tone was quite stern: "The voice sounded like a woman. Could it be that some playful little maid from the harem broke into Yimei Garden?"

While speaking in a deliberately suppressed voice, Zhen Huan could not hear An Lingrong's voice and mistakenly thought that An Lingrong was a female family member accompanying the clan members to the palace to reminisce about the past.

In desperation, she had an idea and said: "This servant is the palace maid of Yimei Garden. I came out to pray. I don't want to disturb the enjoyment of the two of you. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you ever studied? What's your name?"

Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel panic in her heart, she composed herself and said: "My humble name may offend your ears."

But the emperor didn't believe Zhen Huan's words.

How could the people in this palace recite the poems that Chunyuan accidentally said back then? They must have been instructed by someone to follow him and Rong'er here and tell them to him.

So, the emperor took An Lingrong's warm little hand and took a few steps closer.

Zhen Huan, who was still in shock, hurriedly curled up and said urgently: "Don't come over here - my shoes and socks are wet and I'm changing them."

After a pause, the emperor stopped walking and could not hear him speak again for a long time.

After a long time, Zhen Huan mistakenly thought that the man who could not see clearly had left with the female family members. Then she came to her senses, her heart beating wildly as if it was about to burst out of her chest, and she quickly picked up the lantern and prepared to leave.

But she found An Lingrong speaking out: "Rong'er remembered, the owner of this voice is Sister Wan, not the palace maid of Yimeiyuan!"

As soon as she said this, Zhen Huan's frozen legs could no longer support her body and she fell to the snow.

The emperor also seemed to think of Wan Changzai's figure that looked exactly like Chun Yuan. He took An Lingrong's hand with a bad expression and pushed aside the plum blossom tree in front of him.

As the snow fell, Zhen Huan, her hairpins loose and her hair all messy, appeared in their sight.

"Ah, what's wrong with Sister Wan? Why are her clothes in such a mess?" An Lingrong quickly picked up Zhen Huan, then looked at the emperor who was in a bad mood and with obvious anger on his face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you I scared Sister Wan."

The emperor ignored An Lingrong, but looked at Zhen Huan with a pair of majestic eyes and said, "Wan Chang is here. I heard that you have been ill for a long time. Why did you come to Yimei Garden alone today?"

Zhen Huan was suddenly shocked when she was interrogated. All her efforts in concealment since entering the palace were in vain.

There was a bad taste in her mouth, and her eyes full of bitterness stared straight at An Lingrong, but she also did not speak.

An Lingrong observed the words and expressions, and saw that Zhen Huan was unwilling and unwilling. She deliberately did not answer but looked at herself, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, Sister Wan was in trouble with the filthy things before. Now it is rare that she is much better. I am here alone." Go to Yimei Garden to pray, don’t scare your sister anymore.”

Zhen Huan, who was pinched by An Lingrong, quickly said: "I have always loved plum blossoms. I heard from the eunuch in the palace that the plum blossoms in the Meiyuan Garden were in bloom. She also learned that today's harem night banquet did not invite foreign ministers and relatives, so I didn’t know that the people coming were the Emperor and Ling Rong, so I didn’t dare to answer truthfully.”

This was said very skillfully. Even if the emperor was tired of Zhen Huan imitating Chun Yuan's harem concubines, the more he looked at the lovely girl next to An Lingrong, the more he felt that the two of them looked like sisters.

The fat orange cat with a controlled face restrained his anger, and was ready to scold Zhen Huan casually, and then put the matter aside.

But how could An Lingrong let Zhen Huan get what she wanted? She said quietly and joked: "But no other man except the emperor can enter and leave the harem. Why is Sister Wan so afraid of bumping into other people?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Huan's expression immediately turned extremely pale, and the emperor frowned, thinking of this as well.

Seeing that the emperor was very concerned about this, An Lingrong added: "My sister heard that among the princes at the palace banquet today, only the sixth prince, Qinghe Wang Xuanqing, has been loved by the emperor since he was a child because of his mother, Concubine Shu. Yu Liuyi, however, does not care about political affairs. He spends all his time with poems and books, as well as instrumental music, and his flute playing is one of the best in the capital. Therefore, he has received the emperor's order and can enter and exit the harem at will. Is it possible that my sister is afraid of bumping into Prince Guo? "

Zhen Huan, who didn't realize there was something in An Lingrong's words, listened silently, feeling restless in her heart as if something was missing.

The emperor's expression turned gloomy. He first looked at An Lingrong with satisfaction, who reminded him that King Guo could enter and leave the harem at will, and then looked at Zhen Huan, who had disheveled hair and no self-cultivation.

He suddenly made a decision and said: "Wan Chang is not in good health and is not allowed to go out to Shai Yuxuan without my order. However, when King Guo has already started a family and established a career, he enters and exits the harem at will. I will go and say it alone." !”

After saying that, the emperor turned and left.

Obviously he was dissatisfied that Zhen Huan, who looked exactly like Chun Yuan, could not compare with An Lingrong in terms of upbringing and self-cultivation, so he issued an order not to go out and angrily ran away to enjoy flowers and meditate elsewhere.

An Lingrong helped Zhen Huan, who looked confused and seemed to have woken up, and said pitifully: "Sister, did my sister say the wrong thing and make the emperor unhappy?"

Zhen Huan, who thought she was unlucky, had no time to vent her anger on An Lingrong. Sui Yuxuan relied entirely on her and Shen Meizhuang for food and coal.

So she silently lowered her eyes and said with self-pity: "It's my sister who is too worried and makes the emperor angry. Sister Lingrong, please go and persuade the emperor. I can go back by myself."

"This won't work. My sister will find someone to take her back."

An Lingrong saw from the corner of her eye a emerald-green palace maid's dress flashing behind the small door of the garden, and she had a plan in mind. She said loudly: "Palace lady behind the small door, I want you to escort Wan Changzai back to Suiyuxuan. Are you willing?"

After a while, the maid hesitantly walked out of the door was none other than Yu Ying'er, who would later be named Lady Miaoyin!
