Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Empress, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. It's not just the Emperor who left. After the Emperor left, Concubine Duan also left."

An Lingrong said this with a smile on her face, but the Queen's expression changed slightly.

The Queen knew that Concubine Duan had a good relationship with Concubine Hua, but the Queen also knew that Concubine Duan was not active, so why did she suddenly go to Yikun Palace?

"Is Concubine Duan gone?"

It's still unknown what Concubine Duan is going to do in Yikun Palace, but I think it must be more than just a chat with Concubine Hua.

"Empress, the eunuch Su who is with the emperor is here."

As the two were talking, Jiang Fuhai came in and passed the message.

"Eunuch Su is here, please come in."

The queen thought that the emperor had not come to the harem for some time, and Su Peisheng's coming here now might mean that the emperor would come over for dinner tonight. The queen happily invited Su Peisheng in.

"This servant pays my respects to the Queen."

"Please get up quickly, eunuch. Why are you coming here at this time? But the emperor has ordered you to come here tonight?"

The Queen asked quickly with a happy look on her face, but Su Peisheng's expression was very normal, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has not yet said which palace he will go to tonight. He just asked me to come and tell you that he has granted Concubine Duan the power to assist in managing the six palaces."

Su Peisheng said this hesitantly. This task was really difficult.

The room was silent for a long time before the queen said, "I understand."

An Lingrong was no longer surprised. No wonder she was so happy when she saw Concubine Duan going to Yikun Palace. It turned out that this was the reason.

It seems that the Queen has something to do now.

After the imperial edict was delivered, Su Peisheng stepped down.

An Lingrong then looked at the Queen, and her expression was obviously different from before. Just now, the two of them were wondering what Concubine Duan was doing in Yikun Palace. Now that they knew, they didn't have to guess anymore.

"Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

The Queen looked at An Lingrong and wondered if she had impure motives.

She lives in Yiku Palace and should have a good relationship with Concubine Hua, but why would she come here and tell me about Concubine Hua's every move?

"Your Majesty is wise. I just saw Concubine Duan go to Yikun Palace and felt that it was a little strange. That's why I came to tell you about this matter. It was only when Eunuch Su came that I learned about this matter."

Seeing Queen An Lingrong hurriedly explaining, what she said was indeed true, and she was afraid that the Queen would think she was there to laugh at her.

Fortunately, the Queen did not have any suspicions. After all, the Queen knew Hua Fei's personality. An Lingrong was quite similar to herself, so she thought Hua Fei would not like her very much.

The Queen was quite satisfied with An Lingrong's answer, and her expression was not so serious anymore. She smiled and said to An Lingrong, "Okay, it's okay. I didn't say anything, but we have to be on guard against this Concubine Duan. Now she and Concubine Hua are both concubines, and both have the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so we'd better be careful."

The Queen has even changed her way of addressing An Lingrong and now calls her "we".

Apparently, An Lingrong also noticed it and nodded in agreement.

This was exactly what An Lingrong wanted. After trying every possible means, she finally got close to the Queen. Humph, I will never be unable to hold my head up again in the future.

"How long has it been since An agreed to enter the palace?" the queen asked with a smile.

Now that An Lingrong is on her side, the Queen should at least give her some benefits.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for more than half a year." The Queen asked this, and An Lingrong answered truthfully.

Since the Queen asked this, I think she was not just making small talk. Perhaps, the Queen could still help me with favor.

"You have been a promise for some time now. I am thinking whether I should ask the Emperor to promote you."

An Lingrong's high position is also helpful to the Queen. Looking at An Lingrong's current appearance, it is easier for her to control her. Besides, above the concubine is a Changzai, but she is just a Changzai and cannot pose any threat to her.

But there cannot be anyone like Nian Shilan in the palace anymore.

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen, but...but I have never served the Emperor, so I am afraid I cannot be promoted. This is probably against the rules."

An Lingrong stood up, bowed, and then spoke timidly to the Queen.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to talk about it, I also want to see if the Queen can resolve this matter, so that that noble lady Fucha won't have to make sarcastic remarks in front of me all day long, which is really annoying.

Although Noble Lady Fucha was in the Yanx Palace, since they were all in the imperial palace, it was inevitable that they would meet each other. However, if she was favored, it would be a different story.

"You have been in the palace for such a long time, but you have not yet been favored. I should talk to the emperor about this matter."

The queen thought for a while and then said, "It's just that there are so many things going on in the court recently, and the emperor is also busy, so don't take it to heart."

Listening to the Queen's words, An Lingrong couldn't say anything and just responded quietly.

"Looking at your well-behaved and quiet appearance, I like you from the bottom of my heart. You are not like other concubines in the palace who are noisy all day long. You are sensible."

The Queen's praise of An Lingrong could be said to have completely won her over, and it also left her with a good impression of being gentle and amiable.

"Okay, you can go back too. If you have any problem, come to me anytime. Just be careful. That Concubine Hua is not someone you can easily mess with. You'd better be careful."

When the Queen was about to let An Lingrong go, she did not forget to give her some instructions.

It's not like An Lingrong hasn't had any contact with Concubine Hua before. One said that the Queen was not good, and the other said that Concubine Hua was not good.

But these are not important to An Lingrong. Of course, whoever treats her well is the good one.

After paying her respects, An Lingrong left.

When she returned to Yiku Palace, she heard laughter coming from Nian Shilan's room. It seemed that Concubine Duan had not left yet.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan."

An Lingrong did not return to the house, but went to Nian Shilan instead. Now An Lingrong only followed the Queen's orders and was thinking of going to Concubine Hua to inquire for news from the Queen.

"Oh, An agreed to come too."

Nian Shilan looked at the direction An Lingrong came in, and her tone didn't sound very good.

This An Lingrong lives so close and rarely comes over on normal days. Why does she come over now that Concubine Duan is still here? Now I don’t know if she is the Queen’s person, so it’s better to be cautious about everything.

"Songzhi, please take a seat."

Songzhi would definitely listen to Nian Shilan's instructions, so she reluctantly brought a stool to An Lingrong.
