If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Ling Rong followed Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang out of Jingren Palace, thinking that the next part would be the beheading first and then Zhen Huan would see a dead person. She wondered if she should leave first to avoid this, but before she had taken a few steps, Xia Dongchun's voice came from behind.

"You two sisters are really eloquent," Xia Dongchun said with a smile, "After flattering the Queen, you started to curry favor with Concubine Hua. It's like you are playing a role on stage, trying to please both sides. It's really admirable." After saying that, she laughed even more happily.

In her previous life, Lingrong was one level lower than her in status and was supposed to greet her. This time, Lingrong knew her character and didn't move at all, she just looked at her coldly.

"My two sisters asked the servants to take so many rewards. How can the palace hold them all?" Ling Rong didn't actually understand. Was she trying to provoke or was she envious?

Just as she was thinking about this, Lingrong heard footsteps behind her. It turned out that Concubine Hua had seen the farce from the beginning.

"The grace of the Heavenly Family should be shared by all the sisters. I was just planning to go back to the palace and ask someone to pick out some good things to send to the sisters, but I didn't expect Sister Xia to get there first. So, pick out some of the ones you like and keep them for your enjoyment." Mei Zhuang responded to Xia Dongchun first. Any trouble that can be solved with things is not a trouble.

"My Xia family has plenty of these things to enjoy. It's just that Concubine Shen's small favors are really good at winning people's hearts." Xia Dongchun deliberately provoked Shen Meizhuang. It was probably because Shen Meizhuang took over her words first, so she provoked her. Just like in the previous life, Zhen Huan was the first to lose her balance. At that moment, Ling Rong felt that Zhen Huan really wanted to rush up and teach her a lesson.

Shen Meizhuang stopped her in front, and Lingrong grabbed her clothes and pulled them hard.

"People with this kind of character are not worthy of entering the palace. They are just a shell with nothing in it." Lingrong vaguely heard someone talking from behind. "People like the Xia family are not even worthy of carrying shoes when they come to our Nian Mansion."

"I heard that she bothered Noble Lady Fucha every day in the Yanxi Palace a few days ago, and she also looked at Jing Ying with displeasure every day, causing unrest in the whole palace."

"Look at the clothes she is wearing. Does she think she can show off here just because she has the Queen's support?" Concubine Hua said disdainfully.

"Sister Xia, please be careful with your words. The Empress is the mother of the country, and Concubine Hua is the assistant in charge of the six palaces. We should respect them. There is no need to curry favor with them." Ling Rong originally wanted to scold Xia Dongchun like she did in her previous life, but then she thought that with Xia Dongchun as a shield, we can avoid a direct confrontation with Concubine Hua.

"You, who do you think you are to teach me a lesson? So what if she's Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua..." Xia Dongchun scolded Ling Rong angrily.

"Xia Changzai," Lingrong interrupted her loudly, greeting her family members dozens of times in her mind.

Xia Dongchun turned around suddenly. Ling Rong guessed that she wanted to turn around and hit her like she did in her previous life. Ling Rong knew this, so she took a step back when she turned around. As a result, when Xia Dongchun turned around, she saw Concubine Hua behind her and immediately shut up.

Because of Xia Dongchun's action, everyone turned around and saw Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua's ceremonial procession came over leisurely. Ling Rong thought that this was the magnificent beauty described by Aunt Li.

"Long live the Empress Hua," Zhen Huan, Ling Rong and others immediately reacted and bowed to greet her.

"The Imperial Garden is so picturesque in autumn, but it's really disappointing that such a beautiful view has been disturbed by someone."

"Please forgive us, Empress Hua. We are sorry for disturbing your pleasure." Lingrong immediately followed up. She was afraid that Xia Dongchun, that idiot, would get a slap in the face for talking nonsense.

"Please forgive me, Empress Hua. I am sorry for disturbing you." Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang also responded quickly.

Hua Fei glanced at An Lingrong, then at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, all of whom were silent and lowered their heads like quails. Only Xia Dongchun, the idiot, was still dissatisfied. "You have indeed disturbed me, so you should reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors." Hua Fei said, and then glanced at them indifferently.

"Empress Hua, I..." Xia Dongchun wanted to argue a few more words.

"Oh, by the way, what about what you just said about me?" Hua Fei narrowed her eyes and stared at Xia Dongchun. Only then did Xia Dongchun feel the threat in these words and did not foolishly say that she was reprimanding her as she did in her previous life.

"Please spare me, Concubine Hua. I have spoken out of turn. I will never do it again." Xia Dongchun hastily admitted her mistake and kowtowed like crazy, repeating the same request. Lingrong thought, she was finally smart for once.

"Hmph, since you already know you said something wrong, I'll give you twenty slaps on the face as a lesson for Consort Xia. Don't say anything wrong again next time." The instrument for slapping someone in the face was a thick wooden board the size of a palm. Ling Rong shuddered when she saw the board.

After Hua Fei finished speaking, she looked at the other three and continued, "Xia committed insubordination and intended to be rude in the palace. However, although the law does not hold everyone responsible, this incident was caused by the three of you. Xia brought this upon herself, and you are not easy people to deal with. Just watch Concubine Xia being punished and learn a lesson from it." After Hua Fei finished scolding, she left, and Zhou Ninghai ordered people to arrest Xia Dongchun and personally watched the punishment, and also watched them.

Zhen Huan and the others were trembling in their hearts when they heard Xia Dongchun's screams. Ling Rong was relieved, this was much better than her previous life, at least she had saved her life.

When the slapping was over, Ling Rong saw that Xia Dongchun's mouth and face were covered in blood, and several teeth were missing. She thought that if she didn't get proper treatment, she would be disfigured. The three of them fled in panic after seeing Xia Dongchun's miserable state.

"Xia is stupid and arrogant. I wonder if he has really learned his lesson this time." Shen Meizhuang said in a low voice.

"Su Wen said that Concubine Hua is so powerful, but I didn't expect it to be true." Zhen Huan was also shocked.

"Xia Changzai is ruined today. Even if she is not disfigured, she will not be able to recover in a short time." Ling Rong said cryptically. If she cannot recover in a short time, she will not be able to receive favor. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to receive favor again in the future.

After the three of them finished talking, they returned to the palace. This time, Ling Rong deliberately took them around the Imperial Garden.
