If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

"Greetings to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with good fortune!"

The queen gently raised her hand and said, "Everyone, get up!" As everyone stood up, she glanced around the hall. The first seat on the left was still empty, and it should be Noble Concubine Hua, followed by Noble Concubine Xian, Concubine He, Noble Lady Wan, and Noble Lady Xin. On the right were Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, Noble Lady Cao, and Noble Lady Yun.

Concubine Duan had been seriously ill for many years and had not left the house. Since she took care of Princess Wen Yi last year, her health has gradually improved. This year, she has been able to visit her mother every morning and evening.

"Is Concubine Duan doing well recently? Is Princess Wen Yi not being naughty?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am feeling much better now. Wen Yi is lively and active, and curious about everything. Because of her, my mood improves a lot every day!" Concubine Duan spoke gently about Wen Yi's interesting stories, her eyes full of tenderness and doting.

"Of course I'm curious. A few days ago, Princess Wen Yi picked the peonies that Concubine Yang, who was kept by Concubine Hua in the Imperial Garden, took when she was just emerging from her bath!" Concubine Yun said with a giggle, covering her mouth with her hands.

She remembered that Concubine Hua was very angry that day. She had deliberately asked the Flower and Tree Bureau to hasten the blooming of the flowers, hoping to win the emperor's favor. However, she did not expect to die at the hands of the "flower thief - Wen Yi". Therefore, Concubine Cao knelt in the Yikun Palace for the whole afternoon to apologize. If the emperor had not wanted to have a meal in the Yikun Palace, she would have to kneel until dinner.

While they were talking, Concubine Hua came in to pay her respects to the Queen, and everyone stood up to pay their respects to her.

Hearing what Yun Guiren said, Concubine Hua couldn't help but get angry again, "Concubine Duan should take good care of Wen Yi. He just picked my flowers out of mischief. What if he accidentally bumps into them one day? There are so many rockery and lakes in this palace."

What Concubine Hua said casually made Concubine Cao worried. She was afraid that Concubine Hua would do something to Wen Yi. Wen Yi was her only child. If anything happened to Wen Yi, she would die.

"What Concubine Hua said is right. I will take good care of Wen Yi. As for Concubine Yang taking a bath, I will compensate you with a basin of peonies." Concubine Duan would not fall for her trick. It was just a basin of peonies. How dare she do anything to Wen Yi?

"Well, children are bound to be naughty, so we just need more wet nurses and palace maids to look after them." The Queen saw that the topic had gone off track and was ready to bring it back, "Today's spring breeze is a little chilly, and my headache has come back. I have to go to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate, so I have already reported to the Emperor and asked Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing to share the power of assisting Concubine Hua in handling the affairs of the six palaces."

The Queen's words were like a bombshell exploding in the ears of the concubines. She continued, "The selection of concubines will be held in half a year. We should prepare for this matter. We cannot delay in filling the Emperor's harem and selecting marriages for the relatives of the Eight Banners."

"Empress, I will..."

"Noble Concubine Hua, the affairs of the six palaces are complicated. Let Concubine Duan and Concubine Xian handle this matter!" The Queen directly rejected what Concubine Hua said before she finished speaking. Although she had let go of love, it did not mean that she was willing to see Concubine Hua eyeing her position as Queen.

"Yes!" Concubine Duan and Lingrong stood up and saluted together, and then they heard Concubine Hua put down the teacup in her hand with a bang.

Zhen Huan stared at the situation in front of her in a daze. She remembered that in her previous life, the Queen had never left the palace to recuperate, so she didn't understand what the Queen was going to do.

On the way back to the palace, Mei Jie couldn't help but ask, "What does the Queen mean by this?"

Lingrong was actually thinking about what the Queen was going to do, because in her previous life, the Queen had never left the palace alone. "I don't know, but I can guess that one of us three will be unlucky." Lingrong smiled bitterly, because she remembered that in her previous life, the Queen and the Emperor went to Mount Tai to pray for rain. When Concubine Hua was in control of the harem, she was dissatisfied with Zhen Huan's favor and tortured her many times, causing Zhen Huan to have a miscarriage.

"Then you have to be careful, you are a shining target now!" Sister Mei also smiled helplessly. She knew what kind of temper Concubine Hua had. She had been pushed into the Thousand Carp Pond by her, and this revenge has not been avenged yet!
