"How can I blame my sister for this? If I hadn't encountered this last night, I'm afraid Xin Changzai would have been bullied by Yu Da Ying, which is wrong." An Lingrong smiled and said, Shen Meizhuang frowned and said:

"I am overthinking, but you also need to understand that Concubine Hua is in a high position and has great power. It is not someone you and I can offend. Do you understand what I am saying?"

"Thank you, Sister Lingrong, for your advice. The situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't just watch Concubine Xin being taken to the Ministry of Punishment by her. In desperation, I had no choice but to ask the Emperor for help.

But don't worry, sister. If there is a next time, Lingrong will think it over carefully before making a decision."

An Lingrong's words were also a sincere expression of her gratitude for her advice. She was indeed a bit reckless in what happened yesterday. She would go back and think about it carefully. If Concubine Hua wanted to take advantage of this to get angry, she would definitely suppress her with her current situation.

"I feel relieved that you think this way. I have always been tolerant of Concubine Hua, so she has no reason to get angry.

However, her setback this time and the Queen's words can calm the harem for a while.

But, Concubine Hua must be unhappy because she lost a concubine this time, so you should be more careful." Shen Meizhuang said, pulling An Lingrong's hand and admonishing her.

"Don't worry, sister. Lingrong understands." An Lingrong nodded and smiled.

"You always do things prudently. Alas, if Huan'er were here, our situation would definitely be much better than it is now." Shen Meizhuang said this and became visibly sad again.

"Sister, why don't you go and persuade Sister Wan? If sister can't persuade her, then Lingrong will be even more helpless." An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang with a faint expression.

In fact, Shen Meizhuang regretted it as soon as she said this...

Although she didn't know what had happened between the two of them, and even knew that An Lingrong had been sending a lot of needed items to Sui Yuxuan, the relationship between them had obviously become distant.

As such, once these words were spoken, it was inevitable that they would become awkward. Fortunately, An Lingrong did not care, and Shen Meizhuang felt relieved.

"Lingrong, you know I didn't mean that. It's just that Huan'er is having a really hard time right now, and I..." Shen Meizhuang explained, hoping that she could understand her...

"Actually, Sister Mei can rest assured. Sister Wan is not an ordinary person. She will rise one day. Maybe Sister is also accumulating strength and will make a big splash when the time comes." An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang, still smiling faintly.

In her previous life, Zhen Huan was favored by the emperor, but she and Shen Meizhuang kept it a secret! After the incident, no one in the harem knew when she had developed a relationship with the emperor.

An Lingrong didn't believe that the emperor would favor her just because she looked like the deceased.

Moreover, there were rumors in the previous life that when the Emperor and Zhen Huan fell in love with each other, they used the name of Prince Guo. An Lingrong didn't understand. How could Zhen Huan dare to do that!

The emperor was so suspicious, but he didn't investigate the matter carefully at that time. Only the silly Shen Meizhuang believed that her good sister did nothing and could be promoted without any favor just by seeing the emperor once. Of course, she was also a fool at that time!

"Sister, what do you mean by that?" Shen Meizhuang wanted to know what An Lingrong meant when she heard the hidden meaning in her words.

"Lingrong is just saying it casually, but Sister Wan is beautiful and talented, she will definitely win the emperor's favor, just wait and see." After An Lingrong finished speaking, she knelt down and said:

"If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave. I have promised Noble Lady Fucha that I will draw an embroidery pattern for her later."

"Okay, you go and get busy first." After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang knew that An Lingrong's words were not groundless, so she nodded thoughtfully. She didn't collect her thoughts until An Lingrong walked a long way away.

When An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace, Concubine Xin and Concubine Chun were already waiting at Noble Lady Fucha's place.

"You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, those two would have drunk all my good tea." As soon as An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace, Noble Lady Fucha brought the two of them to Ledao Hall.

"Sisters, please sit down. Juqing, serve the tea. Baojuan, go get Chun'er a cup of milk tea." An Lingrong was happy about their visit. She seldom invited them over, one reason being that her Ledao Hall was too small. Now that only a few people had arrived, the hall was already full.

"Sister Yi, I came here today to thank you. If it weren't for you yesterday, I might have been sent to that place by that bullying dog to suffer." Xin Changzai handed over a wooden box, bowed, and then said:

"This is a little gift from my elder sister. I hope my younger sister won't dislike it."

"Sister, please get up quickly. We are all sisters. If you say this, it will be considered as being distant with me." An Lingrong hurriedly helped Concubine Xin up, but Concubine Xin wanted to perform the salute.

It was almost lunch time, so An Lingrong set up a table in Le Dao Tang. Although Le Dao Tang was a small place, it was also more lively.

At nightfall that day, the Emperor probably felt that Concubine Xin had been wronged, so the Fengluan Chun'en carriage went to Chuxiu Palace to pick up Concubine Xin and take her to the Yangxin Palace.

Early the next morning, Su Peisheng came to Ledao Hall to convey the emperor's order, saying that the emperor had ordered An Lingrong to move to the eastern side hall of the Yanx Palace - Yixingxuan.

Two palace maids and two young eunuchs followed behind.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace." An Lingrong, along with the palace maids and eunuchs from Ledao Hall, knelt down to express their gratitude.

"I would like to first congratulate you on your new home. The emperor personally ordered these few people to serve you. The emperor said that he had wronged you before." Su Peisheng said with a smile, and An Lingrong stood up to thank him.

"Please excuse me, eunuch, for making this trip, Juqing." After An Lingrong finished speaking, Juqing handed over a purse and said, "Please have some tea, eunuch."

Su Peisheng did not refuse. He took the purse and said to An Lingrong, "These servants were selected by Aunt Fangruo. She said they are all honest and capable and will serve the young lady well. You can use them with confidence."

"Thank you and Aunt Fangruo for your concern for me." An Lingrong nodded, and Su Peisheng walked out with a smile on his face.

An Lingrong knew what had happened. It must be that Xin Changzai had said something to the emperor last night, and the emperor had issued an oral order. Thinking about it, she felt somewhat grateful to Xin Changzai.

In fact, Xin Changzai is the kind of sister she wants in the harem. They can help and support each other. Even if they cannot share the same honor and disgrace, they can understand each other's needs.

On the other hand, in Zhen Huan's previous life, even though Shen Meizhuang was devoted to her, after Shen Meizhuang fell out of favor, she never begged for favor or said anything in front of the emperor. She remembered the four words "be prudent and protect yourself" very well.
