After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible
Chapter 12 Provoking An Lingrong
Seeing that Noble Lady Fucha had almost finished her speech, the Queen spoke slowly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone:
"That's enough! In this harem, sisters not only serve the emperor wholeheartedly, but more importantly, they must support each other and live in harmony. Only in this way can the emperor deal with the affairs of the previous dynasty with peace of mind and have a peaceful and harmonious harem."
When Concubine Hua heard the Queen's words, she just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at her, but she was secretly calculating in her heart how to deal with Zhen Huan, an opponent who was gradually emerging and posing a threat to her.
The queen glanced at all the concubines present, a barely perceptible look of pride showing on her face, and thought: Everything is under my control.
Then, the queen coughed lightly and continued, "Now that you have paid your respects, you may all go. I still have to rush to the Yangxin Palace to take care of the emperor's health."
As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly stood up and left in the direction of the Yangxin Palace.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and saluted, saying in unison: "Farewell, Queen!"
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang held each other's hands tightly and slowly walked out of Jingren Palace.
An Lingrong followed silently on the other side of Zhen Huan. The three of them looked extremely solemn and kept silent all the way, as if they were carrying heavy thoughts on their minds.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, which was to get away from this place full of disputes as soon as possible.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Li finally walked out of Jingren Palace together.
When Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong noticed that the people behind them were approaching, they immediately saluted to the two ladies in unison: "Greetings to Concubine Hua, greetings to Concubine Li!"
The three of them spoke in unison, their voices uniform and respectful.
There was a hint of contempt and arrogance between Hua Fei's eyebrows. She raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke in a condescending manner:
"Noble Lady Wan is beautiful and intelligent, while Noble Lady Shen is gentle, graceful, virtuous and virtuous, and both are deeply loved by the Emperor. The three of you have a deep sisterly bond, which is admirable. But while you are enjoying the Emperor's favor, don't forget to share some of the Emperor's grace with your poor sister An."
There was obvious sarcasm in her words, and she unabashedly revealed her disdain for others.
She knew very well that the friendship between Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan was deep and extraordinary. After all, they had known each other since childhood, and it was not easy to sow discord between them.
However, this An Lingrong is different. She is born in a humble family, has an ordinary background, and exudes a sense of pettiness. It must be easy to be instigated.
Zhen Huan keenly sensed the intention of Concubine Hua's remarks. She glanced at An Lingrong and saw that her face was obviously much gloomier at this time.
"Thank you for your concern and advice, Concubine Hua. Sister An is gentle and considerate, and her needlework skills are superb. I believe that the emperor will be able to see the beauty of Sister An."
Zhen Huan had good intentions and hoped that by saying this, she could help An Lingrong save some face in front of everyone.
At the same time, she also planned to find a suitable opportunity in private and work together with Shen Meizhuang to make the emperor understand more about and pay more attention to An Lingrong.
However, these words had a different meaning in An Lingrong's ears.
She mistakenly thought that Zhen Huan was not willing to help her sincerely, and a sense of dissatisfaction and resentment welled up in her heart.
Although this emotion only flashed for a moment, it was still keenly captured by Concubine Li who was standing beside her.
Lipin sneered complacently: "Humph! You keep talking about the deep love between sisters, but in this palace, you still have to face the reality. Sometimes, choice is more important than hard work."
Hua Fei couldn't help but feel extremely happy when she heard this. Doesn't this just mean that Li Fei will have a better future if she follows her?
An Lingrong also seemed to understand something.
An Lingrong knew very well that in front of people of higher status than herself, she should show weakness and humble herself more often.
So she said softly: "Sister Wan, Sister Mei and I have just entered the palace not long ago, and we still need to learn a lot. Thank you for the guidance of Concubine Li."
However, Zhen Huan couldn't stand it anymore.
She did not obey like An Lingrong, but said bluntly: "What Concubine Li said seems to be a bit of a divisive intention. The Queen just said that the sisters in the harem should live in harmony and have less intrigue, so as to create a peaceful and harmonious harem for the emperor. I believe Concubine Li will not forget the Queen's teachings so quickly."
Upon seeing this, Shen Meizhuang gently nudged Zhen Huan's arm with her elbow, hinting that her words were a little inappropriate.
After all, the two people in front of him were not people who could be easily provoked.
Zhen Huan frowned slightly, but still nodded, indicating that she understood what Shen Meizhuang meant.
"Lady Wan is absolutely right. I wonder if you are free today and could move to my Yiku Palace for a chat?" Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan with her sharp eyes, and her words revealed a majesty that could not be refused.
Zhen Huan smiled slightly and replied softly, "Thanks to Empress Hua's kindness, how can I not go? Thank you for the invitation." After that, she bowed to Empress Hua again to show her respect.
Hua Fei looked up to the top of her head. She glanced at Zhen Huan and the others and waved her hand lazily.
She said, "I just went to pay my respects to the Queen, and now I have talked so much, I am really a little tired. Let's go!"
Seeing this, Songzhi hurriedly stepped forward, carefully supported Concubine Hua's arm, and walked towards Yikun Palace together.
Lipin followed Hua Fei closely, and before leaving, she did not forget to imitate Hua Fei and gave Zhen Huan and the others a fierce look.
At this moment, Shen Meizhuang took a deep breath as if relieved, tightly held Zhen Huan's hands, and said with concern:
"We finally got rid of this troublesome guy. Huan'er, when you go to Concubine Hua later, you must be extra careful. Try to speak less to avoid provoking her. After all, her brother Nian Gengyao is a general that the current emperor values very much. We must not offend him easily."
"Well, don't worry, sister. I will be careful." After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she looked at An Lingrong again, her eyes full of concern and comfort, and said softly:
"Lingrong, don't take to heart what Consort Cai and Consort Li said just now. They are both powerful and their words are inevitably a little sharp, but they are not directed at you personally. They are arrogant and domineering to everyone. The three of us entered the palace together and are as close as sisters. Sister Mei and I will definitely not forget to help you. You must believe in your own abilities and value, and never underestimate yourself. Do you understand?"
An Lingrong listened to Zhen Huan's words. She nodded slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Well, thank you Sister Wan and Sister Mei. You are the only ones I can be close to in this palace."
However, deep in An Lingrong's heart, a hint of bitterness and disappointment had already begun to emerge.
She knew very well that in this treacherous palace, power and status were the most important.
But since he was born in a humble family and had no one to rely on, it was not easy for him to win the favor of the emperor.
Although Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang cared about her very much, they were actually closer to each other, so how could they really help her?
It has been more than half a year since Shen Meizhuang entered the palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor and was given the title "Hui".
When Zhen Huan was selected for the imperial concubines' selection, she was given the title of "Wan" by the emperor. Now, Zhen Huan was favored overnight and was promoted from a concubine to a noble lady, and she also received many rewards.
An Lingrong speculated that Zhen Huan must have done something behind the scenes or Shen Meiyu must have said a lot of good things to the Emperor.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Zhen Huan to become so glorious overnight. Although the emperor caught a cold because of Concubine Wan's sleeping with him, he did not blame her. Instead, he rewarded her, which shows how much he doted on her.
At this moment, An Lingrong secretly made up her mind to find a way to change the current situation.
Yangxindian
The emperor was bedridden, and the empress and Hua Fei took turns serving him. No one else had the chance to serve him.
The emperor missed Zhen Huan very much.
"Su Peisheng, tell Concubine Wan to come and take care of me." The emperor's weak voice was like a candle in the wind, which made people feel pity.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiazi at the side hurried forward and replied:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Eunuch Su is ill in bed and cannot come to serve you. I am willing to serve Your Majesty on his behalf and will go and invite Lady Wan to come immediately."
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but frowned and gently scolded Xiao Xiazi, "Wait."
Then, she cast her worried eyes towards the emperor and said in a very gentle tone: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of great concern to your health! You are the king of a country, and your health is the most important thing! The imperial doctors all said that during this extraordinary period, Your Majesty needs to be pure and have few desires, so that you can recover faster."
When the emperor heard what the queen said, although he was unwilling, he couldn't refute her in person.
After all, everyone knew that the emperor urgently summoned Concubine Wan because she looked very similar to the deceased Queen Chunyuan.
If Concubine Wan were really summoned to the imperial court, it would probably become even more difficult for the emperor to concentrate on recuperating.
Thinking of this, the emperor could only sigh helplessly, feeling secretly annoyed, and had to give up this idea.
At this moment, the emperor was so disgusted that he didn't want to look at the queen any more, and then he spoke again: "Xiao Xiazi, go and call the seventeenth brother over."
"Yes! I will go and invite Prince Guo right away." Xiao Xia Zi responded and quickly retreated.
Prince Guo has been acting as the emperor's governor these days. The emperor is ill and there are piles of memorials to the court, so Prince Guo has to take over.
"Xiao Huan, is there a kind of chronic poison that even the most skilled imperial physicians cannot detect, and that is colorless and odorless, and that can slowly infect people if they stay around it for a long time?"
