Chapter 298 Reunion
After taking her pulse, Zhen Huan asked, "What are Mei Jiejie and Rong Er doing now?"
"The two ladies are taking a nap."
Zhen Huan asked curiously, "Taking a nap at this time?"
Su Ye nodded: "Yes! Because you returned to the palace, both ladies did not sleep well last night and are a little sleepy now."
Zhen Huan's heart warmed when she heard this. She immediately stood up from the couch and said with a flick of her sleeves: "Let's go to Yonghe Palace!"
Seeing this, Jin Xi hurried forward, a worried look on her face, and advised: "My queen, you need to rest!"
"I'm not tired. Besides, I can go to Yonghe Palace to rest!"
Arriving at Yonghe Palace, Zhen Huan stopped the palace maid who wanted to pay her respects, entered the bedroom, and slowly drew aside the curtains. She saw An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu leaning against each other, sleeping soundly, their faces calm and peaceful, as if all the troubles of the world had nothing to do with them.
Zhen Huan's lips lifted unconsciously, revealing a gentle smile. Then, she pointed to her head. Huanbi and Liuzhu beside her understood her meaning and immediately helped her remove her hairpins and jewelry with swift hands and feet.
As soon as she sat down on the edge of the bed, Shen Meizhuang woke up immediately. Seeing the person in front of her, she showed a look of joy. Just as she was about to speak, Zhen Huan made a hushing gesture and pointed at An Lingrong who was sleeping in a strange posture.
Shen Meizhuang understood and lowered her voice, "Huan'er, you're exhausted from the journey. Why don't you rest in the palace?"
"I can't wait to see you and Rong'er! Besides, I want to sleep with you too."
Shen Meizhuang raised the corner of her mouth and said softly, "Okay!"
After saying that, she turned to look at An Lingrong, pulled out the quilt that was pressing against her body, then stretched out her hands and pushed her hard inside.
An Lingrong's body moved slowly with her strength, but her sleep was not interrupted at all, and she was still immersed in a sweet dream.
After making room, Shen Meizhuang moved lightly to the inside, patted the empty bed beside her, and said, "Come on!"
Zhen Huan was stunned by this series of smooth movements: "This didn't even wake her up?"
"Hey," Shen Meizhuang shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness and doting, "She has always been a deep sleeper. Unless there is a huge noise, she won't wake up easily. Of course, unless she is hungry!"
The two of them lay down together. Zhen Huan leaned on Shen Meizhuang's shoulder affectionately, like a tired bird returning to its nest. She sniffed the familiar, comforting scent on her body. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and her voice was choked by the emotions surging in her heart: "Sister Mei, I miss you so much!"
Shen Meizhuang slowly raised her hand and stroked her hair as gently as she had in the past, over and over again, as if to soothe Zhen Huan's excited heart after a long separation. "Huan'er, we missed you too! Now that you're back, let's forget about the past and just look forward, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhen Huan nodded heavily.
After a moment, Zhen Huan said again: "Sister Mei, thank you and Rong'er for these years!"
"Do we still need to talk about this between us?"
When An Lingrong woke up, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were still sleeping soundly.
There was a sudden thunderclap.
"Sister Zhen, when did you come?"
An Lingrong's voice was filled with endless surprise and excitement. The two sleeping people were instantly awakened and sat up straight together.
Zhen Huan rubbed her swollen head and looked at the surprised person in front of her with a dazed look: "I just got here... No, I've been here for a while!"
An Lingrong's smile almost overflowed from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she scolded: "Then why didn't you wake me up!"
"It's okay. Although I didn't wake you up, you woke me up!"
Shen Meizhuang, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation and burst out laughing.
"Okay, get up and change!"
"No, no, no." An Lingrong stepped between the two of them and squeezed in a gap to sit down. The two of them moved to the side together, leaving her in the middle.
"Oh, being surrounded by beauties on both sides, what a blessing!" An Lingrong hugged a beauty with one arm, and sighed with curved eyebrows and shaking head, "Come on, sleep a little longer!" The tone was light and cheerful, as if she wanted to prolong this warm time indefinitely.
Shen Meizhuang suppressed her smile and said, "I see you are full of energy, how can you still sleep?"
"If you can't sleep, it's good to talk!"
The two of them didn't say anything more and lay down together again.
The three round heads leaned against each other and slowly talked about every little thing after entering the palace. Their voices were soft and gentle, occasionally interspersed with An Lingrong's heroic laughter.
Everything around was silent, except for the small world of Yonghe Palace, gently enveloped in a veil of warmth and peace. The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers, as if wafting from a distant past. Accompanied by their whispers and gentle laughter, it wove a timeless painting of imperial court life, slowing down the pace of time and allowing one to immerse themselves in this rare tranquility.
Caiyue listened to the voice from behind the curtain and smiled unconsciously, then went to the small kitchen in the backyard.
"Sister Su Ye, I think the ladies still want to chat for a while, so let's send the dinner over later!"
"it is good!"
After an unknown amount of time, the three people in the bedroom were in high spirits. An Lingrong suddenly slapped her head and said, "Oh, Sister Zhen, there's one important thing I almost forgot!"
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's alarm bells instantly rang, and they both sat up straight. "What's going on?"
Seeing their nervous expressions, An Lingrong was slightly startled, somewhat confused. She blinked and said, "It's about Wanwan!"
Isn’t this a big deal!
Zhen Huan finally relaxed and asked, "What's the matter, Longyue?"
"Now that you're back in the palace, we should discuss her custody."
Zhen Huan waved her hand: "No need to discuss this!"
"Why don't we discuss it?"
"I've already thought about this!" Zhen Huan raised her head slightly, her eyes firm and sincere. "You've raised her very well these past few years, and she's acknowledged you as her mother. You'll continue to raise her from now on. We see each other every day, so just take her to Yongshou Palace more often!"
"Okay!" An Lingrong nodded slightly, a relieved smile playing on her lips. This arrangement was the best solution, both emotionally and logically! It would preserve their sisterly bond and allow Longyue to continue growing in a familiar and loving environment.
An Lingrong added, "When she grows up, it's up to her to decide whether she wants to stay in Yonghe Palace or go to Yongshou Palace."
Zhen Huan nodded: "Okay!"
