If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

It was time to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat. Lingrong had thought that she would not be able to go there this year, but unexpectedly the Emperor's decree came down, stating that the story of Concubine Xian poisoning was completely false. Not only was her house arrest lifted, but she was also promoted to Imperial Concubine. Everyone said that it was a blessing in disguise for her, but she always felt that it was not a good thing.

In the Old Summer Palace, she still lived in Anlan Garden. The emperor originally thought that this place was a bit small, but Lingrong said that she would like to live here after getting used to it.

If it was a concubine, it would not be a grievance to live in Anlan Garden. After all, the emperor gave it to her beyond the regulations at that time. Now as a noble concubine, it is a bit small to live here. However, Lingrong does not care much, because this is considered to be the center of the residential area. It is relatively close to go everywhere, especially Sister Mei’s Xianyue Pavilion.

At the Changchun Fairy House, everyone came to pay respects to the Queen every morning and evening as usual. This time, the Queen was different from the past. She was not as sharp as she was the last time she came to the Old Summer Palace. Back then, although she felt disappointed with the man beside her, she still had illusions about power. However, after a year of wasting time, she also realized that the more she wanted to grasp something, the more she would lose it.

Whether it is the emperor or power, they are like sand in your hands. The tighter you hold them, the faster they slip away.

"Your Highness the Queen, I pay my respects to you. May you live in peace and happiness!"

"Greetings to Consort Hua and Consort Xian,"

This was the first time she received courtesy from all the other concubines after her promotion ceremony. Lingrong felt at the top of the pyramid of power, which she had never felt before. In her previous life, she was just a low-ranking concubine who had to bow to everyone she met. She dreamed day and night of climbing to the height she is today, but she didn't expect that she could actually do it in her new life!

"The virtuous concubine is so blessed. I didn't expect that she would be promoted after being confined just once. It's really enviable!" Zhen Huan also learned to say such sour words, which shows that she is not favored by power in this life.

"You can be so jealous of Concubine Wan for saying such sour words. How about this? I think the person who framed me is Concubine Wan, so Concubine Wan will also be confined to her house. Who knows, you may be Concubine Wan when you come out," Ling Rong looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of threats that said I know everything.

Zhen Huan's eyes flashed with shock. Looking at Ling Rong's expression, it seemed that she really knew something. But she changed her mind and realized that even if she really knew something, she was not afraid. She regained her composure and said, "Of course I envy you. After all, I don't have the good fortune of Consort Xian. I had a miscarriage and was confined for half a year without any promotion. Sigh!"

Everyone who was eavesdropping was cursing in their hearts, wasn’t it your own fault? Do you think everyone doesn’t know that? How dare you say that, sister?

"It seems that you are still not blessed. Maybe you haven't prayed enough to the Buddha!" Seeing the two of them being sarcastic, Concubine Hua interjected. After all, she didn't like Concubine Xian, and she disliked Zhen Huan even more. They were in a low position but always looked down on everyone.

"As the emperor's concubine, it is better for me to serve the emperor than to burn incense and worship Buddha. Concubine Hua is putting the cart before the horse." I can't argue with Concubine Xian, so can I not argue with you? Humph!

"You!" Concubine Hua really had never taken advantage of Zhen Huan. "Concubine Wan is really sharp-tongued. I was just joking, but you scolded me like this. How come I can't say anything to you?"

"Please forgive me, Concubine Hua. It was I who was reckless."

Seeing that she showed no remorse at all, Concubine Hua gritted her teeth in anger.
