An Lingrong after rebirth

"But after I agreed to this matter, I discovered that An Lingrong was unusual after getting to know her more. She was obviously born in a humble family, the daughter of a county magistrate from a remote village."

She has her own rules for doing things, and she is generous and steady in her work, and everything she does can impress Concubine Jing. "Plus, the emperor gave An Lingrong the honor of her father's death, which shows that she is extremely favored."

"That's why she no longer looked down on An Lingrong. It's just a change of position for a concubine. The two sisters are so young, one has a son, and the other is pregnant. Will they still worry about a concubine position in the future?"

"An Lingrong and the other two smiled after hearing this, but stopped talking. Regarding status, others can talk about it, but you can't speak it out. If it gets out, you will be criticized."

The three of them chatted and laughed around the Sixth Prince for a while, then Concubine Jing stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late today, I'll go back first."

An Lingrong also stood up. Her Majesty had been busy here for half a day, why didn't she sit down for a while? "You have been busy lately, and Xianpin finally came here, so I'm sure you have a lot to say, so I won't disturb you."

After she finished speaking, she saw that An Lingrong wanted to talk more, so Concubine Jing said, "There is still something else to do in Xianfu Palace. You sisters can chat. I will leave first."

"An Lingrong was helpless. She glanced at Shen Meiyu and saw her nod slightly. Then she supported Concubine Jing and said, "I, the concubine, will see the Queen off."

"Okay, Concubine Xian is pregnant, so please don't get up. I will be the one to see Her Majesty off." After seeing Concubine Jing off, An Lingrong turned back and asked, "Sister Mei, is there anything that brought you here today?"

Shen Meizhuang patted the back of An Lingrong's hand and said, "Look at what you said. Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" An Lingrong smiled and pulled Shen Meizhuang's arm.

No, I wish my sister could live in the Yanxi Palace every day and not go back. "You are so clever, you are the only one who can say that."

"Shen Meizhuang nodded at An Lingrong, but sighed the next moment, since she found something appetizing in the meal here last time."

I've been feeling really uneasy lately, "I'm afraid that one day I'll be tricked by someone else again." Even though Aunt Zhuying and Doctor Luo examine me every day, I'm still very worried.

"I heard from Caiyue that you are finally free, so I came to talk to you. Shen Meizhuang's face is full of sorrow, which makes An Lingrong feel distressed."

"She has been harmed by others before, so she knows that such anxiety has a great impact on the pregnant woman herself. Thinking of this, she can't help but hate Duanpin in her heart."

For her own selfish interests, "She wants to harm someone's life. Although the harem is a place without friendship, the person she wants to harm is Shen Meizhuang. An Lingrong will not think that a mere demotion can erase her sins."

"Reach out and hold Shen Meizhuang. Sister Mei, don't worry. Concubine Duan has been punished. Now that the Queen Mother is protecting you, you will be fine."

"But don't worry, sister. As long as the New Year's Eve palace banquet goes well, we will have some palace power in our hands. By then, I will make Concubine Duan live a hundred times worse than she does now."

"Rong'er... no," Shen Meizhuang's face was filled with worry. She hated Concubine Duan, but she didn't want An Lingrong to fall into a trap because of her.

She understood what An Lingrong meant. It was because she had the power in the palace that it was easier to take action against Concubine Duan. "Sister, Concubine Duan dared to take the initiative." If we don't report it, then Sister will have to bear the fear and worry for the past few months.

Even if your sister can tolerate this, I, your younger sister, will make her pay the price. "When An Lingrong said this, she sounded a little indignant, but there was a hint of other thoughts in her mind."

"Thinking back to the death of Yu in my previous life, it was because I killed Su Peisheng's child that he strangled Yu to death."

I can still remember the conversation I heard in Suiyuxuan that day. "Lingrong looks so weak and tender on weekdays, but she could be so cruel."

For the sake of Zhen Huan, I gave such an order that went against my own will, but in the end, I received words that made me extremely heartbroken.

I wonder if I will still receive such an evaluation now that I have become the closest person to Shen Meizhuang?

Shen Meizhuang's expression remained unchanged, "Rong'er, I'm not forbidding you to take action," but if we take action right after we gain power in the palace, wouldn't that be giving others an advantage?

"I understand what you mean, sister, but I really can't bear it. If it weren't for this matter, why would I rush to do this useless palace work?"

Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong with a touched face, "Rong'er," I know you are doing this for me, but we can't put ourselves in danger.

"The Queen Mother has already taken action on this matter. If we take action and are discovered by the Queen Mother, she will inevitably think that we are too ambitious."

Therefore, if this matter is to be done, it must be done in secret, so that no one can find any evidence against it. "An Lingrong saw Shen Meizhuang's serious face, and a strange feeling rose in her heart."

"I have never been here before. Have I protected Shen Meizhuang too well? After all, she comes from a famous family and has been pampered since childhood. Hasn't she seen the secrets of the backyard?"

I'm afraid he has seen more than I have, and the other party is not an overly kind person?

"You are used to what you did before, so you are not surprised at all that you want to deal with Concubine Duan? After a pause, I nodded. What my sister said is that I am too anxious."

You are also venting your anger for me. I know in my heart that Rong'er, you said something right. Now I see it clearly, "It is better to keep the word grace and power in your hands."

An Lingrong looked a little strange. In the past, Shen Meizhuang gave up competing for the emperor's favor because of his distrust. "But now that you are pregnant and the holy scroll is in full swing, how could you have such an idea?"

"Sister, what are you doing..."

Shen Meizhuang sighed softly, "You have been busy these days. When I was not here, Huan'er came to Yonghe Palace several times." You don't know, hey...

What happened to "Zhen Huan"? What happened to Concubine Wan?

"Do you know that on the second day after Huanbi became favored, when she was paying respects to the Queen, Concubine Hua made things difficult for her with her words, and Huan'er started a few words with her."

I didn't take it seriously at first, but I didn't know that Concubine Hua has become more and more difficult these days. She has to say a few words every day when paying respects. It's really annoying.

"Lady Wan is very much favored by the Emperor. Didn't she tell the Emperor about it?" This is what I mean when I say that favor is hard to retain.

"Shen Meizhuang shook her head helplessly. Huan'er is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble. She will definitely not let such a thing bother the emperor."

"I don't know who was quick-witted and told the emperor about this." But the emperor not only did not punish Concubine Hua, but also asked Huan'er to endure it temporarily.

"So, what if she is favored? Concubine Hua has deep roots and cannot be shaken by a simple saying of being favored. After Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, An Lingrong frowned slightly."

"It's a good thing that Shen Meizhuang has some ideas, but how can the emperor do this just for Concubine Hua?"

Sister, the emperor’s action may be due to the support of Nian Gengyao behind Concubine Hua!

"Yes, Nian Gengyao was an important minister who had served the emperor well, and his sister, Concubine Hua, was a national beauty. Even a woman with ordinary looks could have a place in the harem."

"Sister, you see it very clearly. Even so, Lady Wan is suffering from some injustice now, and there is nothing we can do about it!"

Yes, to be honest, it was not Huan'er who told her about this. She has a strong personality, and she only found out about it when Caiyue was chatting with Jinxi.

"We are still the favorites now, but if one day" it happens to us, what should we do? How should we deal with it?

"An Lingrong's expression turned slightly cold after hearing this. Cui Jinxi is more cautious, intelligent, and calm than Qiufang. How could she easily say something that criticized Concubine Hua when chatting with others?"

"If there is no instruction from Zhen Huan, An Lingrong will not believe anything."

Perhaps it is because Zhen Huan is alone and needs Shen Meizhuang's support! "Although it is only An Lingrong's guess, An Lingrong really doesn't want to be involved with Zhen Huan in the slightest."

An Lingrong nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. After all, she is the emperor's favorite." He would not let Concubine Hua go too far.

"It's just a few words now. We are not as high up as them, so we can only bear it. Shen Meizhuang also witnessed how Concubine Hua punished Xia Dongchun, and she knows how vicious Concubine Hua is."

After hearing this, he replied, "Rong'er is right. We have seen how cruel Concubine Hua is. I just hope that Concubine Hua will consider the emperor's feelings and not do anything excessive."

"Don't worry, sister. You are pregnant now and can't let these things affect your mood." Cui Jinxi was really something. Nothing had gone wrong with Concubine Wan.

"How could you tell Yu Caiyue such a small matter so easily? If this matter makes my sister angry and causes miscarriage, it would be more trouble than gain."

"And Cui Jinxi has always been cautious in her actions. Why would she ignore her sister's health this time? Could it be that Caiyue heard it wrong? After Shen Meizhuang heard what An Lingrong said, her eyebrows twitched and her expression was slightly strange."

Looking at Shen Meizhuang's expression, An Lingrong felt a little strange again, "Everyone can be vicious at times, because in the harem, no one can help themselves."

This is what the emperor said to me when I saw him for the last time in my previous life. I remember very clearly that Zhen Huan used to think highly of herself and almost never took the initiative to harm others before she came back from Ganlu Temple.

"Even if she did, it would only be a passive counterattack. But now Shen Meizhuang didn't take the initiative to harm her, but she is plotting against her own good sister."

Is it true that everyone is helpless? But after thinking about it again, "An Lingrong still thinks Zhen Huan's behavior is a bit strange."

"Before she was favored, she lived in Suiyuxuan and her life was very difficult. I didn't see her do anything else at that time."

Why do I think of these now?

"An Lingrong pondered in her heart that although the other party's life was a little hard before he became the emperor's favorite, no one deliberately made things difficult for him, so he lived a relatively comfortable life."

"But now Concubine Hua seems to be crazy, staring at her all the time. Shen Meizhuang is not as caring as before, not considerate and attentive to her in every detail."

"If he changed his mind because of this, An Lingrong would not be surprised. She shook her head slightly. Whatever the other party thinks, it has nothing to do with her."

"As long as she doesn't get involved with the other person, it's her business what she does! It has nothing to do with me. If Shen Meizhuang's unborn child is really affected by Zhen Huan, it's not something that can be changed by just a few words from me!"

When I asked the Queen Mother to let Zhuying take care of him at all times and have Doctor Luo serve him at all times, I had already fulfilled my obligations.

Otherwise, I can’t help!

"Shen Meizhuang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Rong'er, do you think Cui Jinxi might have been bribed by someone?" This sentence made An Lingrong confused."

Sister, I don't understand what you mean? An Lingrong asked. "Huan'er won't let her casually reveal such things."

"You also said that Cui Jinxi has always been cautious in doing things, so why did she do this? Was she bribed by someone to make me worry too much and cause a miscarriage?"

"An Lingrong understood after hearing this. It is not hard to understand why Shen Meizhuang would ask such a question when she trusts Zhen Huan."

An Lingrong also knew Cui Jinxi quite well, and was very clear that Cui Jinxi would not betray Zhen Huan. "I just didn't understand Shen Meizhuang's meaning for a moment."

"I nodded slightly. What my sister said makes sense. But in my opinion, Cui Jinxi has been serving Zhen Huan since she entered the palace, and the servants around her have been replaced by a new batch."

Cui Jinxi didn't leave at that time, so she must be quite loyal.

"What you said does make some sense, but you can't know a person's heart from his face. After all, she is not a servant born in our family, so I really can't be sure whether she is loyal or not."

After hearing this, An Lingrong looked around. Fortunately, only Lian'er and Caiyue were there with her.

My sister is right. We have not known each other for long and Cui Jinxi is not a saint. It is hard to say if she has been bribed. Not everyone is as loyal as Caiyue.

Just look at Huanbi. If she wants to betray her master, she won’t care whether you are born in her family or not.
