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

"Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lotus leaves are so lush"

An Lingrong was dressed in a water-green Manchu dress with only a plain hairpin on her head. She was like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any embellishment.

Huimin did not choose bright colors to complement her.

After all, it just so happened that the clothes Xia Dongchun was wearing last time were the same ones the emperor had just praised for their beauty.

This time, Huimin and An Lingrong both wore refreshing clothes.

The two beauties in summer want to brighten the emperor's eyes.

An Lingrong is like a beautiful girl next door, picking lotus on a boat in the south of the Yangtze River in summer.

"Look, sister, the lotus flowers are in full bloom. I'll pick a few for you."

When Huimin saw An Lingrong was about to go down, she hurriedly stopped her.

"Sister, it's dangerous."

An Lingrong didn't care and said with a smile that it was okay.

Seeing that she was happy, Huimin stopped persuading her and only asked Ruyi, who could swim, to follow her.

An Lingrong was riding in a small boat, shuttling among the lotus leaves, looking at Huimin from time to time. The two looked at each other from a distance, and Huimin also smiled.

Seeing Huimin's smile, An Lingrong also began to sing, "The willow bank, the morning breeze and the waning moon..."

Huimin sang along from a distance and also sang a few lines based on what she had practiced in the past two days.

"After so many years, the good times and beautiful scenery are gone..."

The atmosphere here was just right. The emperor suddenly felt like visiting the lotus pond, and when he heard the singing he looked over here from afar.

It happened that An Lingrong sang the last line, "Even if I have a thousand kinds of love, who can I tell them to?"

The emperor first saw Huimin standing by the lake, and was immediately attracted by the singing, so he looked up into the lake.

I saw a beautiful girl among the lotus leaves in the pond, holding a blooming lotus in her hands. The delicate and beautiful lotus made the girl look even more fresh and refined.

The woman was smiling at him, and the emperor was instantly delighted.

This was a good coincidence. An Lingrong and Huimin were laughing happily, but they didn't expect the emperor to misunderstand them.

But it also facilitates their plans.

Huimin saw the emperor from afar and wanted to give An Lingrong a hint, so she told him the secret code from before.

"The sun is getting bright, come and take a rest, Sister An."

Huimin usually called Lingrong, so they agreed that if she called her Sister An, it meant the Emperor had arrived.

An Lingrong was stunned. She didn't expect to see the emperor so soon.

She held the lotus and sailed to the lake, where Ruyi helped her ashore.

An Lingrong did not forget to hand the lotus to Huimin.

During this time, the emperor had already walked up to him.

“I didn’t expect Min Er could sing.”

The emperor first praised Huimin, then turned to look at An Lingrong.

"Who else can I tell? You sing well. What's your name?"

An Lingrong's previous experience with the emperor was not a pleasant one, and she was still a little scared.

Seeing her like this, Huimin had no choice but to smooth things over for her.

"This is Sister An's promise. The two lines I sang were taught by her. Sister An is my master."

After hearing this, the emperor became even more interested.

He had no impression of An Da Ying at all, but she did sing well, and her voice sounded like Chun Yuan.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, looking at Huimin in front of him, who was also his favorite concubine.

"Yes, to be able to be your teacher, he must be truly talented and knowledgeable."

The emperor then held one of them by the hand and led the two of them to appreciate the lotus flowers together.

"The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun. Your Majesty, this scenery is hard to see in the palace."

The emperor has always liked talented women. Seeing Huimin like this place and composing poems with him, she was in a good mood.

Huimin winked at An Lingrong, and An Lingrong understood, and immediately began to hum some seductive music.

"Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lotus leaves are so lush..."

The soft Wu dialect of the Jiangnan woman, coupled with such a beautiful scenery, made the emperor mesmerized.

Huimin nodded with satisfaction. Lingrong would be remembered by the emperor this time.

The three of them strolled around the garden for a while, and Huimin was ready to leave, but An Lingrong moved her lips, wanting her to stay.

Huimin stroked her hand and stopped her from talking.

"Concubine, please retire."

The emperor did not stay long. When he saw Huimin was about to leave, he raised his hand and let her go.

Huimin intended to keep An Lingrong and the emperor alone so that she could take the opportunity to win the emperor's favor.

Sure enough, not long after Huimin returned to Hanyue Tower, Xiao Ruizi brought news.

"An promised to be promoted to a concubine by the emperor."

"it is good."

Huimin smiled, but Ruyi beside her asked worriedly:

"My dear, there is another person coming to share your favor. You don't have to worry."

Yes, he had recommended Xia Dongchun one after another, and An Lingrong was favored, and Zhen Huan's favor was also due to his own contribution. As a result, his treatment as the first among the newcomers became insignificant.

But this is my plan.

Being the one who receives all the love and favor, one must also deal with the resentment of all the concubines in the palace.

And it is such a good thing to be loved, have a good family background, and still be able to hide behind the scenes.

The favorite concubines take turns to sit on the throne, and you just have to be the evergreen tree behind them.

"I, your young master, have my own plans. Remember my words."

Ruyi looked at her young mistress like this and could only sigh helplessly.

"I know. This is the young lady's rule. Never talk too much outside the inner room.

Everyone should be respected, regardless of whether they are favored or not, or whether their family background is high or low.

Do not talk about your master, and do not bully your servants."

Huimin nodded, "Just remember it. We can talk about some things in private, but don't lose your sense of proportion."

Seeing Huimin's glance, Ruyi quickly responded.

On the second day, An Lingrong brought the floating brocade to Huimin.

Huimin only congratulated her on her current high status and said nothing else.

An Lingrong was a little frightened. After all, this favor was gained because of Huimin, and she had always relied on Huimin.

"Sister, I..."

Huimin knew what she meant and shook her head to stop her from talking.

"That's how it is in the palace. If you and I were to marry ordinary men, it wouldn't be like this. But now that we've entered the royal family and this gate, we're on the same boat and we can help each other and get this boat farther."

With An Lingrong's keen sense, how could she not understand this sentence? She didn't say anything more.

She said some polite words and pretended not to care, which made An Lingrong feel uneasy. But Huimin showed her attitude, made the reasons clear, and explained the relationship between them, which made An Lingrong feel at ease.

"Sister, don't worry, Lingrong will never abandon you. As long as Lingrong is alive, she will never let anyone stab you first."

Huimin looked at her and patted her hands.

"Sister believes in you."

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Huimin looked at Fu Guangjin and said, "This is a reward from the emperor, right?"

"Well, I gave one to the Queen and Concubine Hua, kept one for myself, and gave one each to my sister and Sister Zhen."

"Such good material, you can keep it."

An Lingrong shook her head. "Good things, even if I don't have them, sister should have them. What's more, if I have them, I should give them to sister."

"You..."

Huimin nodded her head, the two laughed for a while, and then An Lingrong left.

After An Lingrong left, Ruyi looked at the floating brocade and said with a smile:

"Ms. An is very grateful and repays our young master for being so kind to her."

Huimin smiled and said, "Now I don't feel that An Chang is sharing her favor with me."

Ruyi smiled embarrassedly.

Looking at Ruyi, Huimin couldn't help but think of Huanbi. The difference in the attitudes of the people around her was obvious.

It is said that the personal maidservant is the spokesperson for the young lady. Isn't Huanbi trying to sow discord by doing this? And...

Alas, Huimin didn’t want to say anything more.

This shows how deep the love is, and it can be seen everywhere.
