Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

That day, An Lingrong finally got the chance to sleep with the emperor, but was sent back intact by the emperor.

When the sedan chair and the carriage that was taking Yu Ying'er to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity passed by each other, An Lingrong was already in despair.

From now on, I’m afraid I’m completely finished.

Early the next morning, the news that An Lingrong had been returned intact spread throughout the six palaces in the east and west.

Huimin couldn't help but worry after hearing this.

An Lingrong was of humble origins, and her share of official position was often deducted, and the eunuchs and palace maids under her were not respectful to her.

Now that the jade has been returned intact, life has become even more difficult.

An Lingrong became a laughing stock in the harem and became less and less willing to go out, but she was lost and in despair.

She was originally an invisible person in the harem. She had not served the emperor in bed for such a long time since entering the palace, so she was not considered a real concubine. She finally had a chance, but she became the first one to be rejected and sent back by the emperor. She was afraid that her future would be doomed.

An Lingrong thought about it and the first person she thought of was Huimin. She didn't know when this sister Min had become her backbone.

The next day she went to Chuxiu Palace in a daze.

Huimin didn't expect her to come. Seeing An Lingrong's deathly pale face, Huimin couldn't bear it.

Among the concubines who entered the palace at the same time, she did not have a distinguished family background. She was a beauty, but she was a beautiful girl from a small family. There were so many beauties in the palace that she looked a little dull.

Life was already difficult, but now it has become even worse...

"Ling Rong..."

Huimin spoke with a hint of worry, being careful not to disturb her.

"elder sister."

When An Lingrong heard Huimin calling her, tears started to flow, and all the grievances she had felt for so many days suddenly came out.

The emperor's attitude was the last straw that almost crushed her to death.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid... after a while, I might die somewhere and no one will find me."

An Lingrong spoke intermittently, how could Huimin not know her predicament, a concubine who was not favored was not even as good as a servant who was favored.

"How can Lingrong say that? It's so unlucky to be dead or alive. Bah, bah, bah, bah. Where is your sister? You also have your sister Zhen and sister Mei. With me here, you won't end up in that situation."

An Lingrong looked at Huimin who was comforting her with tears in her eyes. She felt so warm. Apart from her mother, only Sister Min was so kind to her.

An Lingrong was like a traveler in the desert who saw the only oasis. She didn't care even if it was a mirage.

"I only have my sister. No one in the palace cares about me. The servants look down on me. Sister Mei and Sister Zhen often ignore me. Only my sister thinks about me. Even the emperor despises me."

An Lingrong sincerely thought so at this time. Take the issue of allowance for example. The Queen ordered a reduction in the allowance for the harem, and everyone was living a tight life. If it weren't for Huimin's subsidy, the money she earned from the needlework she did in the palace would not have allowed her to survive the winter.

"Lingrong, why don't you belittle yourself? You have your strengths. Although I don't have the ability to make you rich and powerful in this palace, I can still ensure that you live a stable life."

Huimin didn't even mention helping her win favor now, as the timing was too difficult and the effort was not worth it.

But Huimin had nothing else but money. Not to mention the income from her own farm, shops and land, the things her father sent to the palace every month were more than enough to spend.

With the money, she was still in favor and had a place in the emperor's favor. Naturally, she lived a good life, and taking care of An Lingrong was not a difficult task.

As for the rest, Huimin knew that a little kindness should be repaid with a great deal of resentment, and too much is as bad as too little.

Moreover, Baojuan, who was beside An Lingrong, was the Queen's person, so she would never reveal too much in front of her.

She has always been portrayed as a caring sister who couldn't bear to see An Lingrong's difficult life so she came to help her. She has a simple mind and naturally isn't a big threat.

An Lingrong sat with Huimin for a while and then returned to the palace.

After she left, Huimin called all the people in the palace to tell them:

"Remember this. Anyone who belongs to me in Chuxiu Palace is not allowed to talk about An Yingda or any other young lady behind her back. If I find out, you will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The eunuchs and palace maids below all made promises, so Huimin sent them away, leaving only Shunxin and Ruyi.

"Let the two maids in our palace keep an eye on it, don't let anything go wrong."

"Xiao Ruizi seems to be loyal recently, and Xiao Minzi is also honest. Ama has checked their backgrounds and found no problems. Now we can try to really use them."

Ruyi agreed to all of them, and she knew that her young mistress had a plan in mind.

"What about the maid you saved earlier?"

"She will be useful in the future, so just stay in the greenhouse."

Huimin has a plan for the flowers in the greenhouse. Many of these flowers have various unknown uses. If used well, they can not only prevent others from harming themselves, but also plan for the future.

"And An promised to arrange for our people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go there when she is promoted to the position of a concubine."

Seeing Huimin's arrangement, Ruyi knew that her mistress was prudent but still asked:

"Mrs. An's current situation...how can you be sure that she can still be promoted to a concubine?"

Seeing that Ruyi was puzzled and Shunxin was thoughtful, Huimin intended to teach them. After all, her two personal maids were her right-hand men and would have to be able to take charge in the future.

Huimin then nodded to Shunxin, "Shunxin, tell me why."

Shunxin saw the young master asking him, and after a brief pause he answered:

"Because the palace is ever-changing, no one knows when a new favorite concubine will appear. The emperor's love is elusive and uncertain."

Huimin nodded approvingly, "Anything else?"

"And the young master is preparing for a rainy day and wants to understand the movements of Young Master An?"

Huimin praised Shunxin and said, "An Lingrong is not bad looking and has a skill. It's not impossible that she will be favored in the future. Besides, it's just a personal placement, so nothing will be wasted. Just consider it an investment. Who knows if I, your young master, will fall out of favor in the future?"

When Ruyi saw Huimin talking about herself, she refused to agree.

"My lady, please don't underestimate yourself. You are such a good lady, how could you fall out of favor?"

Seeing Ruyi's anxious look, Huimin just smiled.

She pretended to flatter the emperor, just like a little girl treats her lover. It was rare for a young man to admire her, and it gained her a lot of points in the eyes of the emperor.

But I can't guarantee that I won't be exposed. I won't look down on anyone, nor will I think too highly of myself.

An Lingrong is still in trouble now, but with her scheming and her efforts in singing, dancing and ice skating, it is only a matter of time before she turns things around.

Huimin didn't mind giving her a hand in her predicament.

A trapped beast will still fight, let alone An Lingrong now. How can she be willing to accept this?
