Chapter 874 Huanbi 18

Huanbi was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Yinzhen to act so quickly and choose such an unexpected person.

"Your Majesty, this..." Huanbi hesitated, her heart filled with doubt and uneasiness. She didn't know what Yinzhen was up to, nor did she know who this "father" was.

Yinzhen looked at her puzzled expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile. "What? Don't you believe me?"

Huanbi quickly shook her head and said coquettishly, "Chuhua doesn't dare, it's just... just a little surprised."

Yinzhen didn't explain any more, he just patted her hand gently and said softly: "You just need to wait patiently."

Yinzhen felt as if he was possessed. In these few short days, he put almost all his thoughts on Huanbi.

When he was reviewing memorials, her shy appearance always appeared before his eyes; when he was handling government affairs, her gentle voice always echoed in his ears.

He had never been so attentive to a woman before, and even felt a little apprehensive. Was this the legendary "love at first sight"? But as the emperor, how could he be swayed by the love affairs of his children?

But whenever he was with her, all his uneasiness and anxiety disappeared. When he was with her, he felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.

Her gentleness, thoughtfulness, and understanding were like a spring of fresh water, washing his tired soul. He even felt that his mind became sharper and clearer when he was with Huanbi, as if all his problems could be easily solved.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Huanbi's voice was soft, with a hint of concern.

Yinzhen pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It seems that I have neglected Lady Wan for a long time."

He paused, with a hint of smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and added: "I don't know if she is angry."

He shook his head as if in distress, but his tone was full of joking.

Huanbi twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white. The emperor's light words exploded in her heart like thunder.

Concubine Wan...The Emperor is still thinking about Zhen Huan after all.

She was just a maid, even if she changed her name and got some favor from the emperor, she was still not presentable. Without status and family background, she was like a rootless duckweed in this harem where people were eaten without leaving any bones, and she could be swallowed up at any time.

She tried hard to maintain a calm appearance and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Lady Wan is a dignified and virtuous woman. How could she care about... Chu Huan?"

Yinzhen looked at her pale face, his heart skipped a beat, and he cursed himself for being rude. He was secretly annoyed, wondering why he was so foolish, knowing that she was sensitive and thoughtful, but he still brought up such a topic.

He stretched out his hand to smooth her frown, but stopped in mid-air and withdrew his hand awkwardly.

"I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

Huanbi forced a smile upon hearing this, but her heart felt even more bitter. The emperor's words sounded like comfort, but also like perfunctory.

Don't take it personally? How could that be possible? Zhen Huan was his favorite, his sweetheart, and she was just a toy he used to relieve his loneliness.

"Your Majesty." Huanbi raised her head with a pitiful look.

"Chu Huan knows that her status is low, so she dare not ask for too much. She only hopes to serve the emperor forever, and she will be satisfied."

Yinzhen felt even more pity for her when he saw her like this. He held her in his arms and said softly, "I know you have been wronged. Don't worry, I won't let you continue to be wronged like this."

"Your Majesty..." Huanbi snuggled in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that she shouldn't expect too much, but she couldn't control her heart, she wanted more, she wanted all of him.

Yinzhen gently patted Huanbi's shoulder and said softly, "I have found a good family for you."

He paused, and seeing Huanbi's puzzled expression, he continued, "I will announce to the public that you are the daughter of the Niuhulu family, and in this way, you will have a suitable background.

"Yinzhen looked at Huanbi, his eyes full of pity: "Your new father is the important official of the dynasty, Nianhulu Neqin."

Huanbi didn't expect that the new identity given to her by the emperor was the daughter of the Niuhulu family.

She had never expected that her new father would be the important official of the dynasty, Niu Hulu Neqin. For a moment, surprise, confusion, uneasiness, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart. She tightly grasped the handkerchief, her nails almost digging into her flesh, trying to maintain a calm appearance.

"Your Majesty, this... this is too sudden." Huanbi lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment.

Yinzhen gently lifted her chin and forced her to look him in the eye. "I know it's hard for you to accept it at the moment, but this is for your own good. With the protection of the Niuhulu family, you will have fewer problems in the palace."

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's just..." Huanbi hesitated, her eyes slightly reddened, and her pitiful appearance aroused Yinzhen's desire to protect her.

"It's just..." Huanbi bit her lower lip, her pearly teeth nibbling on her delicate skin, making her look even more pitiful. She secretly raised her eyes to glance at Yinzhen, and saw that he was looking at her tenderly, feeling sweet and uneasy in her heart.

"Just what? Just say whatever you want to say." Yinzhen's tone was gentle, like a spring breeze that made people feel at ease.

Huanbi took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, but she backed off at the last moment. "It's just... Chuhuan is worried that she might bring disgrace to the reputation of the Niuhulu family."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen laughed out loud and hugged Huanbi even tighter.

"Silly girl, since I have chosen you, I naturally believe that you have the ability. What's more, Nianqin is my trusted minister, he will definitely understand me."

Huanbi leaned on Yinzhen's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know how much of the emperor's words were sincere and how much were meant to comfort her. She only knew that she couldn't hesitate any longer and had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Should he continue to hide his true identity and enjoy the wealth and glory, or should he confess everything and gamble his future?

Huanbi's hands tightly grasped the handkerchief, and beads of sweat oozed from her palms. She thought of Zhen Huan, the sister who was connected to her by blood.

If the emperor knew his true identity, how would he view himself?

When she thought of this, Huanbi couldn't help but shudder. She didn't dare to think any further and could only bury her head lower, as if this would help her escape from reality.
