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

At night, Zhen Huan called Huanbi over to ask about what happened in the afternoon, "Just now I wanted to point someone in our palace to Lingrong, but you disagreed. Why is that?"

Huanbi remembered that in her previous life, the lady had kindly sent Juqing to take care of An Lingrong, but An Lingrong was suspicious of her all the time, and in the end Juqing died tragically and did not end well. Huanbi felt scared, after all, it was a human life!

She thought for a moment and explained, "I know that the young lady is kind-hearted. She is worried that Baojuan and the others will not serve well and that Little Lady An will be wronged and no one will protect her. But the young lady is so smart that she will definitely find that Little Lady An is sensitive and thoughtful."

Zhen Huan nodded. She had naturally noticed this a long time ago, and let Huanbi continue.

"My lady has good intentions, but if you think about it carefully, I have only been with Lady Lingrong for about ten days, and now I don't fully understand what she is thinking. I am worried that if you rashly assign someone to her, Lady Lingrong will have other bad thoughts, which will be counterproductive, right?"

Zhen Huan understood, "Are you worried that Lingrong will suspect I have other intentions?" After saying that, she nodded again, thinking that Huanbi's worries were not unreasonable. Although she and Lingrong were good friends, they were not as close as she was with Sister Mei. It would be bad if she did something bad with good intentions.

In that case, let’s talk about this matter later.

But the girl Huanbi has become more and more careful and intelligent over the past year. She guessed it was because she read a lot of books.

She smiled faintly, raised her head and said to Huanbi: "Thanks for reminding me of what happened today. It's getting late, you should go and rest!"

Huanbi bowed slightly and returned to her room.

The next morning, everyone in Suiyuxuan got up early. Today was the day for the first audience with the Queen. The maids stood in a row behind Zhen Huan, holding pearl and jade jewelry and gorgeous clothes.

Pei Er looked at the pretty and charming young lady in the mirror, stepped forward and said, "Today is the first time I meet the Queen, young lady, you should dress more formally, so that you can outshine the other ladies."

Zhen Huan put on the earrings herself and waved her hand: "Go outside and get some hot water. Huanbi and the others will serve you here."

Huanbi looked at the clothes in the maids' hands, pointed at a light green dress and said, "What do you think of this one, young lady?"

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Huanbi still understands me the best. I'll wear this outfit with a normal bun."

Huanbi walked behind Zhen Huan and gently dressed her up, only to see Liuzhu pouting, seeming unhappy.

"My lady is partial. Why is it that Huanbi understands my lady the best, and I don't understand?"

Zhen Huan stretched out her hand and pinched Liu Zhu's puffy cheeks and replied, "I understand. You and Huanbi both understand me the best. Is that okay?"

When Liu Zhu heard this, she finally smiled happily. Her round face relaxed and she said happily, "Then I will go to the kitchen to see how the breakfast is prepared."

In Jingren Palace, the newly promoted concubines stood in two rows according to their ranks, with Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang standing side by side at the front.

The Queen had a very kind look and a dignified and virtuous temperament. She asked the new people with a benevolent face whether they had adapted, and the new concubines naturally said yes.

But as the seats were almost full, the two seats at the front were empty.

Suddenly, a eunuch's announcement came from outside the door: "Empress Hua is here!"

Except for the Queen, everyone stood up, watched Hua Fei enter the hall, and saluted in unison.

Jiang Fuhai, the chief eunuch beside the queen, shouted at the top of his voice, "The Queen Consort Duan is ill today. I'm afraid the ladies won't be able to see her today."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother leaned forward and told the maid to go and see Concubine Duan later, her words full of concern and sighs.

Everyone paid their respects to the Queen, who then introduced the concubines present one by one and introduced the newcomers to each one.

After the new concubines had paid their respects to Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua specifically asked Xia Dongchun to come and get to know her.

Because Xia was arrogant and domineering, she was given a bad look by the teaching nanny, so the nanny did not take the trouble to teach her the palace etiquette and rules. When they met today, she only made a few movements and said a few words, which made her so ridiculous that the maids could not help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Then Concubine Hua asked, "Who are Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan?"

Zhen Huan felt a little uneasy, but she never showed it on her face. She and Sister Mei successively paid their respects to Concubine Hua. However, Concubine Hua always liked to make things difficult for the palace concubines. Since this was their first meeting today, she naturally wanted to give the newcomers a heads-up.

After Mei Zhuang praised her a few words, she began to find fault with the words. If Zhen Huan had not been well-read and quick-witted, she would probably have been offended by both the Queen and Concubine Hua.

The queen gave some instructions for a while and then asked the concubines to leave.

The three sisters were walking back from Jingren Palace. As soon as they reached the Imperial Garden, they were stopped by Xia Dongchun.

Seeing this, Huanbi signaled Zhen Huan and her group to ignore them, and just said hello and walked on. But Xia Dongchun refused to give up, and rushed forward aggressively, blocking the three people's way and asking:

"You three are trying to please everyone like a show, but you didn't expect to upset the Queen and Concubine Hua. Hahahaha, you really flattered the horse but ended up hitting the horse's hoof."

She raised her head and laughed loudly, completely ignoring the fact that this was in the palace and concubines should abide by the rules.

Thinking back to when they were paying their respects just now, every word the Queen and Concubine Hua said was full of hidden meanings, which was frightening. Zhen Huan had to be more cautious, so even though Xia Dongchun made sarcastic remarks at this moment, they did not respond.

An Lingrong, on the other hand, suddenly apologized to Xia Dongchun, "I didn't mean to offend you on the day of the talent show. I didn't expect you to be from a family of heroes. When I saw you that day, you really lived up to your family's style."

After hearing this, Xia Dongchun was very proud and raised her head proudly, but she soon realized that An Lingrong was mocking her for being reckless. She had always looked down on An Lingrong and was about to hit her.

Huanbi noticed that Concubine Hua was watching from a distance, so she stepped forward, grabbed Xia Dongchun's hand, and whispered, "Concubine Hua is watching from behind. If Concubine Xia really makes a move, Concubine Hua will not let you go."

Xia Dongchun looked back with trembling lips. Concubine Hua was indeed staring at her. Although she did not understand the palace rules, everyone knew the status of Concubine Hua in the palace. If she offended her, she would not have a good ending. She was so scared that she immediately put down her hand and pointed at An Lingrong and said:

"I will let you go today, but I will make you pay for what you said today someday."

After saying that, he twisted his waist and left.

Not far away, Song Zhi said with a mocking look on her face, "A person like this is not even worthy of bringing shoes to our Nian Mansion."

Concubine Hua raised her lips and said, "Xia Changzai, you often make people laugh here, don't you?"

Song Zhi smiled flatteringly, "Madam, would you like to teach her some manners?"

Concubine Hua said, "Why should I teach her? When she meets the Emperor tomorrow, she will naturally understand the rules." After saying that, she took Song Zhi's hand and walked towards Zhen Huan and the others.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Hua Fei." The three people and the maids all bowed and saluted. Hua Fei did not let them stand up. She walked up to them and scolded them:

"You and that Xia are both restless. You had an argument in the palace on the second day after entering. I am here to assist the six palaces under the order of the emperor. Considering that this is your first offense, I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes in seclusion for three days!"

The three of them lowered their heads and dared not speak, observing courtesy and not standing up until Concubine Hua was far away.
