After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Snowflakes were floating in the sky. An Lingrong stood in the courtyard and bowed to Xia. "I wonder what Lady Xia wants to see me about?"

Xia Changzai's eyes flickered with a dark light, and she said arrogantly, "From now on, you should behave yourself in Yanxi Palace. If you dare to do anything weird again, I will tell the emperor and the empress to punish you."

An Lingrong was puzzled. "I don't know how I have offended Concubine Xia. Please tell me clearly, Concubine Xia."

Xia Dongchun touched the hairpin that the emperor had just awarded her and boasted, "I heard that the queen wants to promote you. You come from a humble family, are you worthy of being appreciated by the queen like me?

I tell you, you'd better be more tactful and stop trying to be nice in front of the Queen, or you'll end up in trouble."

While speaking, Xia Dongchun raised his hand as if he was going to hit her, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Noble Lady Fucha who had just come out of the room.

Noble Lady Fucha was sitting in the room when she heard the noise outside. She knew it was these two people talking so she came out to watch. As soon as she came out, she saw the two people standing with one high and one low, like a joke, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xia Dongchun walked forward a few steps, pointed at her and asked, "What are you laughing at? When I give birth to a prince, my status will be higher than yours."

Noble Lady Fucha was speechless. She had been in the palace for so long, but had never seen such a stupid yet arrogant person. She left a sentence "Then I'll wait for that day" and walked out of the gate of Yanx Palace.

Xia Dongchun felt frustrated and turned to An Lingrong. Fucha came from a noble family, so she didn't dare to go too far. However, she never took An Lingrong seriously.

She continued to yell, "I advise you to be more sensible. Don't think that Noble Lady Fucha is suppressing me now. When I give birth to a prince, I will have the final say in Yanxi Palace!"

An Lingrong has been with Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu for a long time, and has learned some self-respect and self-reliance from her two sisters. Now, facing Xia's condescending attitude, she feels less fearful.

She did not respond, but paused and said, "I hope that Concubine Xia will get what she wants soon."

"You! What do you mean?" Xia Dongchun didn't believe that An Lingrong had good intentions, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

An Lingrong smiled and said, "It's cold outside, Lady Xia, please take care of yourself. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, she turned and went into the house. Xia Dongchun was standing outside the door, cursing angrily, but An Lingrong had already asked Juqing to close the door.

Inside the house, An Lingrong heaved a sigh of relief. She used to be kind to others and never dared to confront others. Just now, when she turned around and went back into the house, she could imagine Xia's furious face. She felt happy when she thought of this. It turned out that being neither humble nor arrogant was so comfortable.

Today's events once again verified what Huanbi said. It seems that one still has to rely on oneself.

Seeing that her young mistress had finally shown some courage, Ju Qing quickly poured her a cup of hot tea and praised her with a smile, "You did a really good job today, young mistress!"

An Lingrong looked at Ju Qing with a smile, "Do you also think I should treat Xia Dongchun like this?"

Ju Qing smiled lightly, revealing two canine teeth. "I feel that the young lady is braver than before, and I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

Seeing Juqing's sincere look, An Lingrong was very grateful to Sister Wan for assigning Juqing to serve her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have anyone who could speak the truth by her side. Juqing was steady and knew when to advance and retreat, and was a rare maid.

In the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan was pruning red plums. Liu Zhu came back with his face puffed up as if he was holding his breath.

Huanbi nudged her with her elbow. "Didn't you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect next month's allowance? Didn't they give it to you?"

Liu Zhu took out some silver from her sleeve and put it on the table. "It's not the Imperial Household Department. Just now when I passed by the Yanxi Palace, I heard Concubine Xia scolding An Yingying inside. This Concubine Xia is really something. She is so arrogant to everyone just because she is pregnant. It's really pitiful for An Yingying."

Zhen Huan glanced at Liu Zhu and put down the scissors in her hand, "Xia is restless and now she is even more proud of being pregnant."

Liu Zhu nodded and asked, "There is one thing I don't understand. Concubine Xia is now the Queen's person, and the Queen wants to win over An Da Ying. Why would she allow her subordinates to fight each other?"

Huanbi smiled, knowing in her heart that this was a common trick used by the Queen. An Lingrong and Concubine Qi in the previous life were the best examples, but other people didn't know it.

"Maybe it's because Concubine Xia is stupid and can't figure this out."

Zhen Huan thought what she said made sense, but she always felt that this matter was related to the Queen. Just now when she and the Emperor went to the Yanx Palace, although the Queen congratulated Xia, her smile was fake and it didn't seem like she was happy for Xia from the bottom of her heart.

Maybe the queen has no children, so she must feel sorry for herself when she sees others getting pregnant!

But Lingrong's life is really not easy. She is timid, careful and sensitive. If she is brought to live in Suiyuxuan, they can take care of each other in the future.

"Sister Mei is in a bad situation now. It would be better if I could get closer to Lingrong. Huanbi, go to the imperial court and ask when the emperor is free. I will go to see the emperor."

Huanbi bowed and accepted the gesture, then left immediately.

After Huanbi left, Jinxi was a little worried, "My lady, do you have something to tell the emperor?"

Zhen Huan smiled and nodded, "I want to go back to the emperor and let Ling Rong come to live with me in Sui Yu Xuan."

Jin Xi was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she spoke, "My lady loves Miss Lingrong, and it is true that she and An promised to have a deep sisterly love, but An promised to live here, and it may be inconvenient for the emperor to come in and out."

Zhen Huan's eyebrows curved, and she looked at Jin Xi tenderly, "Jin Xi, I know what you are worried about. If Ling Rong comes, she may share my favor, but in this palace, the emperor will not only favor me. Rather than others, I hope it is Sister Mei and Ling Rong, at least they will not harm me.

Besides, if the emperor truly loves me, I won’t care about these things.”

Jin Xi nodded in agreement. She didn't expect that the young lady would be so magnanimous and tolerant. She was more admirable than the former Queen Chun Yuan.

After Zhen Huan reported this to the Emperor, the Emperor initially disagreed, as he hoped it would be more convenient for him to see her. However, Zhen Huan insisted on doing so, and the Emperor had no choice but to agree.

An Lingrong was sitting in the palace embroidering a dress when Ju Qing came over and asked, "Young Master, why do you want to make two of the same dress?"

An Lingrong told her that she made one each for Sister Mei and Sister Wan.

"Why don't you make one for yourself? This silk brocade garment is warm and comfortable. It is the warmest to wear in winter."

An Lingrong forced a smile, "Silk brocade is hard to come by, I only have enough to make two pieces. I don't go out much in winter, so I can just wear other clothes."

Her words pierced the soft spot in Juqing's heart. Juqing sighed: "My lady really cares about Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan, just like real sisters."

"An promised to treat our young lady like a real sister, and Concubine Wan is also thinking about Young Master An." A gentle smile appeared at the corners of Huanbi's eyes and brows, and she walked in while speaking.
