An Lingrong after rebirth

The ladies watched Concubine Hua walk away before they dared to speak cautiously.

"Empress Hua is so amazing." A lady said softly, with a hint of awe and envy in her voice.

"Yes, her aura is really powerful, making people dare not look directly at her." Another young lady echoed, with admiration in her eyes.

"I think she is so fierce." Miss Fang Chunyi said with some fear, her body trembling slightly.

An Lingrong stood next to Fang Chunyi and quietly patted the back of Fang Chunyi's hand to express her comfort.

"But she is indeed very beautiful and has a great temperament." Lady Lu Xuemei exclaimed, with a glimmer of jealousy in her eyes.

"Yes, she is dressed very gorgeously. I heard that the emperor loves her the most." Lady Tao Zhe said enviously, her tone revealing her desire for the emperor's favor.

"But she is too unfriendly to us." The first young lady frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, she is so mean to us, isn't she also mean to the Queen?" The second lady said worriedly, afraid that she would become Concubine Hua's punching bag.

"Let's be careful and not make her angry." Lady Fang Chunyi reminded, and she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Concubine Hua's fierce look.

"Well, we must be careful in what we say and do and never make any mistakes." Miss Tao Zhe nodded in agreement, fearing that she would be punished for a momentary negligence.

"That's right. If you make a mistake you must be punished. There's no order without rules!" Miss Lu Xuemei agreed, secretly praying in her heart that she could get through this time safely.

"Yes, we should not say bad things about her in front of her. After all, she is one of the emperor's most beloved concubines!" Lady Tao Zhe echoed.

"Well, you are right. Let's leave quickly and don't let Concubine Hua come back and see us still here. If she finds out, we will be in trouble." Lu Xuemei said in a low voice.

The ladies all nodded in agreement. They quickly put on their makeup and clothes, and then walked out of the palace quickly. Along the way, they walked carefully, fearing to make any noise.

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan slowly walked to An Lingrong's side, their eyes revealing concern and inquiry. Zhen Huan gently said, "Sister Lingrong, we are going back to the palace first, do you want to go back with us?"

An Lingrong lowered her head slightly and replied softly, "Sisters, please go ahead. Lingrong still has some things to deal with and will return to the palace later."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other and nodded, with determination flashing in their eyes.

Shen Meizhuang held Zhen Huan's hand tightly and said, "Okay, Sister Lingrong, Huan'er and I will go back first."

Zhen Huan turned around and gestured to her nanny, maids and eunuchs. On the palace road, the sunlight fell on the ground, reflecting Zhen Huan's beautiful face.

She was dressed in gorgeous court costume, with a graceful figure and elegant temperament.

An Lingrong watched them leave, thinking quietly about what to say.

Aunt Qiufang reminded An Lingrong, "Mrs. An, please don't talk. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. Let's go back first!" An Lingrong nodded and said, "Okay."

After the ladies left, An Lingrong looked thoughtfully in the direction where Concubine Hua left, thinking to herself: This Concubine Hua is so arrogant and domineering, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along with her in the future...

The queen is no pushover either. “The waters in the harem are very deep and one could end up dead if one is not careful.”

"My lady, let's go back to the Yanxi Palace as soon as possible." Nanny Qiufang urged softly when she saw that An Lingrong had not moved for a long time.

"Yeah." An Lingrong came back to her senses, nodded, then retracted her gaze, turned around and left with Nanny Qiufang.

An Lingrong remained silent, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiufang couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you worried that Concubine Hua will cause trouble for you in the future?"

An Lingrong shook her head and said, "Madam Hua Fei is the emperor's favorite concubine. We should serve her carefully and not be disrespectful in the slightest."

Aunt Qiufang nodded and said, "My lady is right. But this Concubine Hua does look a little difficult to deal with. My lady needs to be more careful in the future."

After leaving the Imperial Garden, An Lingrong walked slowly with Qiu Fanglian'er. At this time, An Lingrong saw a familiar figure - Xiao Yanzi was standing not far away, as if waiting for something.

"Huh? Isn't this Xiao Yanzi?" An Lingrong said in surprise.

Lian'er also noticed Xiao Yanzi. She smiled and said, "Yeah, why is he here?"

Qiu Fang looked at Xiao Yanzi curiously, wondering if he had something important to tell them.

At this time, Xiao Yanzi saw An Lingrong and others. He walked over quickly with a mysterious smile on his face.

"My lady An Changzai, I have been waiting here for a long time." Xiao Yanzi said respectfully.

An Lingrong asked curiously, "Xiao Yanzi, what are you waiting for me for? What does the Queen want?"

Xiao Yanzi shook her head and said with a smile, "No, it was Concubine Hua who asked you to come over and talk."

Hearing this, An Lingrong's heart tightened, but she remained calm.

"Oh? What does Concubine Hua want to see me about?" she asked.

Xiao Yanzi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "This... I don't know either. I am just following orders."

An Lingrong felt a little strange. Wasn't this Xiao Yanzi the eunuch of the Imperial Garden? Why did he suddenly come to tell her something? He also said that Concubine Hua wanted to see her, which made her feel suspicious.

Lian'er, who was standing by, seemed more clever. She approached Xiao Yanzi cautiously and asked softly, "Eunuch, do you know what Empress Hua wants to see my young lady about?"

Xiao Yanzi quickly replied: "Tell your young lady not to worry, I should just ask for the details of what happened in the Imperial Garden."

Hearing this, Lian'er and An Lingrong both breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still very curious about the matter.

Lian'er thanked Xiao Yanzi and said, "Okay, thank you Eunuch Yan for telling me." Xiao Yanzi nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at Xiao Yanzi's receding back, An Lingrong and Lian'er fell into deep thought.

An Lingrong and Lian'er looked at each other and both felt that this matter was a little strange.

"My lady, since Concubine Hua has invited you, then go." Lian'er comforted her.

An Lingrong nodded, took a deep breath, and quickly followed Xiao Yanzi to the Yikun Palace to meet Concubine Hua.

"Lian'er, are you really just asking about what happened? Is there any danger?" Concubine Hua just rewarded Concubine Xia with a red ribbon. When I think about it carefully, I didn't do anything wrong. An Lingrong asked with a bit of worry.

Lian Er comforted An Lingrong: "Miss, don't worry too much. Aunt Qiu Fang also said that Concubine Hua is not an unreasonable person."

An Lingrong felt relieved after hearing this, but still said with some worry: "I hope so...but the people in this palace are treacherous, so I'd better be careful."

An Lingrong knew that even if Concubine Hua was not an unreasonable person, who in the harem could guarantee that they would not be plotted against by others?

When they arrived at the Yikun Palace, there were two young eunuchs standing at the gate. Xiao Yan stepped forward and said respectfully, "My two eunuchs, Miss An has been brought here." After that, Xiao Yan stepped aside and waited. One of the young eunuchs said, "Please wait a moment."

"Let me report this to the Queen." After saying this, he entered the Yikun Palace, and after a while came back and said, "The Queen greets you, young lady, please come in!"

Entering the Yikun Palace, I saw Concubine Hua lazily leaning on a chair, with a slightly dignified look in her eyes. "Greetings, Madam Hua." An Lingrong saluted. "Get up."

Hua Fei's voice was cold but with a hint of arrogance that was barely noticeable. "I heard that you know the details of the Imperial Garden incident. Can you tell me about it?"

An Lingrong bowed her head and responded: "Your Majesty, I happened to be passing by at the time and did see some of the scenes." "Then who do you think was at fault for this?"

Hua Fei asked directly. An Lingrong hesitated for a moment and answered carefully: "I am of low status and dare not judge casually."

Hua Fei raised her lips slightly, and said with a smile: "You know your limits. However, I called you here today just to ask about this matter so that I can report to the emperor.

Concubine Hua sneered and said, "Don't treat me like a tiger. I'm not a man-eating monster. As long as you stay in your place and behave yourself, I won't make things difficult for you. Do you understand?"

Lingrong quickly lowered her head and responded, "Lingrong understands!" She knew that she had to be careful in dealing with Concubine Hua and could not make the slightest mistake.

Concubine Hua nodded in satisfaction, then waved her hand to let Lingrong leave. Lingrong turned around and left quickly as if she had been pardoned, secretly glad that she could leave.

Ling Rong quietly left the palace, her steps brisk and cautious. She did not dare to look back at Concubine Hua, fearing that she would be displeased.

After returning to her residence, Ling Rong heaved a sigh of relief, but she knew that this was only temporary peace. In this palace, dangers are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may fall into an irretrievable situation.

An Lingrong sighed softly and said, "I understand. It's just that I just entered the palace and I'm not familiar with many things. I'll need your advice in the future."

Aunt Qiu Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will do my best to take care of you and help you gain a firm foothold in the palace."

An Lingrong looked at Madam Qiufang gratefully and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."

An Lingrong shook her head slightly and said calmly, "The Concubine Hua is very powerful. With my status and position, I cannot compete with her for the time being. Instead of worrying about her causing trouble for me, I should think about how to please the Emperor."

After hearing this, Aunt Qiufang couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "What the young lady said makes sense, but it's not easy to gain the emperor's favor in the harem."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes, "I know, but how can I know it won't work if I don't try? Mammy, help me find out what the emperor likes tomorrow."

Aunt Qiu Fang nodded slightly to show that she understood, "Okay, young lady, don't worry, I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

An Lingrong nodded and secretly made up her mind to find a way to win the emperor's heart.

An Lingrong knew clearly that only a mother with a son could maintain her position of power. To have a child, she needed the emperor's favor and she had to be careful. After all, "the Queen's abortion squad is not easy to deal with."

"Yes, I understand," Aunt Qiufang replied. She understood An Lingrong's determination and expectations.

She also knew that she had a heavy responsibility. As an old employee in the palace for many years, Qiufang knew that when her master was favored, the status of the servants would also rise and everyone would look better.

Nanny Qiufang knew that only those who wanted to be soldiers in the future were good soldiers. If An Changzai had this idea, she would definitely try her best to support him!

An Lingrong thought, since she had decided to compete for favor, she had to do her best.

An Lingrong also realized that relying solely on appearance and talent was not enough. In her previous life, she could only sing and dance. The emperor had many concubines who could dance, and the emperor soon got bored.

Although the emperor has some impression of me now, I still need to work harder so that I won’t be easily forgotten!

"My lady, look, I have found out all the snacks that the emperor likes. We can prepare them accordingly in the future."

"Well, good, you did a great job." An Lingrong nodded with satisfaction.

An Lingrong pondered for a moment, "Also, we need to pay attention to changes in the situation in the palace and adjust our strategies in a timely manner to ensure that we can seize every opportunity."
