Chapter 861 Huanbi 5

Zhen Huan smiled gently, without revealing Yinzhen's thoughts, and said softly: "Then I will accompany the emperor for a walk."

Yinzhen agreed happily, and the two walked out of the main hall side by side. In the late autumn of Suiyuxuan, fallen leaves were floating and the ground was covered with golden yellow. A gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves, swirling in the air, and finally gently fell on Yinzhen's shoulder.

Zhen Huan reached out and gently brushed away the fallen leaves for him, her movements natural and intimate. However, Yinzhen's eyes were always wandering, as if he was looking for something.

"What is the emperor looking at?" Zhen Huan asked knowingly.

Yinzhen paused, and finally asked, "Where is Huanbi? Why didn't I see her today?"

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes to hide the displeasure that flashed across her eyes, and said calmly: "I think Huanbi is busy with something."

Yinzhen nodded, but he was getting more and more annoyed. He came to Suiyuxuan to see Huanbi, but Zhen Huan seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic, which made him unhappy.

He paced aimlessly, his eyes scanning every corner of the yard, but he still didn't see the familiar figure.

Yinzhen's gaze passed over the layers of red walls and yellow tiles and finally fell on a corner of the courtyard.

There, a slender figure was buried in the washtub, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing a piece of white wrist, which looked particularly dazzling in the autumn sun.

It’s Huanbi.

She was scrubbing the clothes vigorously, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances and resentment on them. Yinzhen's heart moved, and he walked towards that direction as if possessed by a ghost.

Seeing his firm steps, Zhen Huan thought to herself that something was wrong, but she had no choice but to follow him.

"Huanbi." Yinzhen's voice was low and magnetic, and it was particularly clear in the silent courtyard.

Huanbi looked up suddenly and saw Yinzhen and Zhenhuan standing not far away. A trace of panic flashed across her face, and then she quickly stood up and saluted: "Your servant greets the emperor and the noble lady Wan."

"No need to be so polite." Yinzhen's eyes fell on her wet sleeves, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"How can you wash your clothes yourself? Just send them to the laundry department. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Huanbi lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I have nothing to do when I am free, so I thought of doing something within my ability."

"To the best of your ability? I see that you have been wronged, but you dare not speak out."

Huanbi's body trembled slightly, but she still didn't speak. Seeing this, Zhen Huan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, Huanbi is just used to serving concubines, she is not wronged."

"Oh? Really?" Yinzhen glanced at Zhen Huan with a smile, his tone meaningful.

"Why do I feel that Huanhuan doesn't seem to want me to have more contact with Huanbi?"

Zhen Huan was startled, but she remained calm: "Your Majesty, you are joking. How could I have such an idea? It's just that Huanbi is simple-minded and I am afraid of offending Your Majesty."

"Simple?" Yinzhen's gaze returned to Huanbi again, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I think she is much smarter than you think."

The smile on Zhen Huan's face froze, and a crack appeared in the elegant mask she carefully maintained. Huanbi still lowered her head, and her long eyelashes covered the emotions in her eyes, making it difficult to read.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment." Huanbi's voice was soft, but with a barely perceptible tremor: "I am a stupid servant, how can I deserve such praise from your Majesty."

Yinzhen looked at Huanbi with interest. This woman seemed weak and submissive, but in fact there was an unyielding tenacity hidden in her eyes, which made him feel a little fresh.

"Look up and look at me."

Huanbi's body stiffened for a moment, and she slowly raised her head, but her eyes avoided looking directly at Yinzhen. Her clear eyes were now filled with anxiety and fear, as lovable as a frightened deer.

Yinzhen's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Are you afraid of me?"

Huanbi quickly shook her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "I dare not."

"Don't dare? Why do I feel like you are trembling all over?"

Huanbi's breathing became rapid, and her cheeks flushed. This was not because of shyness, but because of nervousness and fear. She knew that her current situation was very dangerous, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan was burning with jealousy, but she had to suppress her anger and spoke again: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest."

Yinzhen's fingertips gently stroked the sleeve of his robe. He slowly turned around and looked directly at Zhen Huan. The calmness between his brows almost made people feel for a moment that this was just a dream.

But then, the hidden anger in her phoenix eyes burst out, making Zhen Huan feel a chill down her spine and a chill in her heart.

"Huanhuan."

Yinzhen's face turned cold. He looked at Zhen Huan carefully. He curled his lips slightly, but spoke each word clearly: "I thought you understood some principles that were different from others, but now it seems... you are just like everyone else. Why is Huan Huan so anxious? Are you afraid that if I look at her for a second longer, it will disturb your heart?"

Zhen Huan's heart trembled, but she still had a gentle and decent smile on her face: "Your Majesty, why do you have to say that? I am just concerned about Huanbi. I am afraid that her words and actions will be inappropriate and make Your Majesty unhappy."

"Oh?" Yinzhen looked at Zhen Huan meaningfully, then turned his head slightly nonchalantly and fixed his gaze on Huanbi again.

"Did you hear that? Your master cares so much about you, maybe in the future, you won't have to do these rough jobs yourself."

Huanbi secretly clenched her fingers, took a deep breath, and replied softly: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your consideration, and thank you very much, Master, for your kindness."

Her words were flawless, and at first glance, they seemed to express gratitude, but they also contained a hint of dissatisfaction and stubbornness, as if she was telling about the grievances she had suffered while being with Zhen Huan.

Even though the voice was soft, it was like a drop of water falling into a quiet lake, leaving an imperceptible trace.

Yinzhen really heard the subtlety in her tone, and his eyes suddenly softened a bit, as if the clouds had cleared up. He walked forward, lowered his head and looked at Huanbi's face, which was so close to him. Her eyes, which were still clear despite being weathered by the wind and frost, made him feel a complicated pity in his heart.

Yinzhen tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, one tap after another, as if tapping on Zhen Huan's heart. "The Yangxin Palace is in need of a maid to serve tea. I think Huanbi is quite smart, so why not let her serve."

Zhen Huan suppressed her inner turmoil, maintained a subtle smile on her face, and said softly, "If Your Majesty really feels that the Yangxin Palace is short of people, why not transfer a well-behaved, smart and well-behaved maid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve, instead of rashly taking someone away from me? Huanbi has been with me since she was a child, and although she occasionally makes mistakes, she is also an experienced hand. If you replace her with someone else, it will inevitably disrupt my habits."
