"It's not that I want to take some time off, so I sent Concubine Shen and the others to be taught by Concubine Hua. It's just that Concubine Hua heard that the Emperor decided to let Concubine Shen and Concubine Fucha start to study the six palaces, so she called them to her palace from time to time. I think she also wants to pass on her experience, right?"

The queen said this, and glanced at the emperor. She saw that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry on his face, so she continued, "Although I am the mistress of the six palaces, I cannot embarrass the emperor, so I can only let it go."

The queen understood the emperor and knew that this was his usual character.

Since the emperor cannot be wrong, she doesn't mind admitting to this matter. After all, the emperor knows who is right and who is wrong!

Sure enough, after hearing what the queen said, the emperor opened his mouth, but was instantly speechless.

"Forget it, Concubine Hua just loves to throw a tantrum. The Queen is always generous and won't bother with it. In this case, it's my fault!"

The emperor was indeed unhappy because he couldn't find Shen Meiyu and saw that Noble Fucha was in the Yiku Palace and it was inconvenient for him to go there. So he came to Jingren Palace, saying that he was going to accompany the empress for dinner, but in fact he wanted to warn her.

But after listening to the queen's statement, the emperor was suddenly speechless.

The emperor naturally knew Hua Fei's character better than anyone else.

Although it is her nature, if she hadn't been favored by me, Concubine Hua wouldn't have become so arrogant now!

Because of this, Yongzheng was reluctant to blame the queen too much when he saw the situation. After saying a few words, he hurriedly left with his men.

Seeing that the emperor came and went in a hurry, the queen was used to it and only ordered people to clean up the mess on the table.

"My lady..."

Jianqiu, who was standing by, felt sorry for the queen and went forward to comfort her.

"What? Would I still be sad? I'm used to it. Why should I care?"

The queen smiled and shook her head, then let Jianqiu be supported as she went to the inner hall.

Concubine Hua was indeed proud for many years, but things were different afterwards.

It wasn't just the wind direction in the palace that was about to change. During the earlier meal, the emperor casually mentioned Nian Gengyao, but his tone did not show the same trust in the Nian family as before.

From this we can see that Hua Fei’s honor and favor are destined not to continue for long!

……

"My lady, the head of the Wan family has sent Miss Liu Zhu to bring you some snacks."

An Lingrong had originally planned to rest, but at this moment, someone suddenly came outside, so she sent Baojuan to check.

After a while, Baojuan came back with a food box in her hand and told An Lingrong that it was sent by Zhen Huan.

"Leave it there." An Lingrong nodded, motioning Baojuan to put the things away, and then asked, "Have you sent the person away?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I have already thanked Concubine Wan on your behalf. Miss Liu Zhu also said she would convey her gratitude."

Baojuan answered An Lingrong in a serious tone, then paused for a moment before saying, "My dear lady, in addition to this food box, Wan Changzai also asked Liu Zhu to bring you a message that everything has been arranged."

When An Lingrong heard this, she smiled instantly.

An Lingrong immediately understood Zhen Huan's intention.

When such a thing was found in the yard before, even An Lingrong was surprised, let alone Zhen Huan.

At that time, Zhen Huan said that she would clean up Shuiyuxuan. Not only did she want to get rid of those useless things, but it was also for their future safety!

Considering that Zhen Huan is the person with the highest status in Sui Yuxuan, and in a sense the "master" of Sui Yuxuan, since she wants to settle accounts with Kang Luhai, An Lingrong naturally did not join in the fun.

But she didn't expect Zhen Huan to be so efficient. It had only been two days and Zhen Huan had someone pass on this news. That meant that Kang Luhai and his gang should have all been sent away!

An Lingrong was naturally happy to see this happen.

Seeing this, Baojuan half flattered and half tested her by saying, "You and Wan Changzai have a really good relationship. Just by hearing these few words, I can understand her feelings. With Wan Changzai accompanying you, you should have nothing to worry about!"

How could An Lingrong not hear Baojuan's tentative intention?

At this moment, An Lingrong looked at Bao Juan with a half-smile, but she said meaningfully: "Behave in a proper manner. These four words were originally given to us by the nanny, and later the Queen also mentioned them. I am giving them to you today, and I hope that you can behave yourself. Naturally, you will benefit from them in the future."

Otherwise, today's Kang Luhai will be the future Baojuan!

"Don't worry, my lady. I will serve you loyally and faithfully, and I will never have any other thoughts!"

Baojuan's heart tightened and she quickly expressed her loyalty to An Lingrong.

In fact, it is not surprising that Baojuan chose to test An Lingrong. The fact is that every time An Lingrong went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Queen, she would not bring Baojuan with her, but let Zhen Huan take Huanbi and Liuzhu. This resulted in Baojuan not being able to accompany An Lingrong all the time, and naturally she could not know her movements well.

Take the incident where the Queen left An Lingrong and the others alone to talk, for example. Baojuan knew about it, but she only learned about it after hearing Huanbi talk about it.

Apart from that, Huanbi would not specifically tell Baojuan that Chun'er was adding fuel to the fire in front of the Queen!

Because of this, even though Baojuan could feel that the relationship between An Lingrong and Chun'er seemed to be becoming increasingly strained, she did not understand the reason. That is why after a period of hesitation, she still chose to test the waters.

It was a pity that as soon as she showed the slightest sign of anger, An Lingrong started to criticize her, and Baojuan immediately gave up her little thoughts.

……

"Sister, did you have a good rest yesterday?"

The next morning, Zhen Huan waited for An Lingrong to go with her to pay respects to the Queen.

As soon as she saw An Lingrong, Zhen Huan asked this with a smile.

"It has been raining for several days in a row. The weather has finally improved and I finally had a good night's sleep."

An Lingrong also answered with a smile, and then the two sisters walked side by side towards Jingren Palace, leaving Chun'er behind with an unhappy look on her face.

Ever since she targeted An Lingrong in front of the Queen that day, Zhen Huan's attitude towards her changed drastically.

Chun'er was not stupid either, so she naturally understood that this incident had caused unhappiness in Zhen Huan's heart. She wanted to ease the relationship, but she didn't expect that neither Zhen Huan nor An Lingrong would pay any attention to her.

This made Chun'er feel wronged, and she was unwilling to try to please him, so the relationship between the three of them became cold.

At this time, Chun'er looked at their receding backs, with an uncertain expression on her face.

After a while, she seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Mammy, I'll listen to you!"

Chun'er said this to her governess, and then, without waiting for her to reply, she quickly followed Zhen Huan and the others to Jingren Palace.

……

"What? The Queen is sick again?"

An Lingrong and her companions had just arrived at Jingren Palace. Before they entered, they saw a lot of people standing at the palace gate. When they got closer, they learned from the head palace maid Jianqiu that the queen was ill again.

"Your Majesty caught a cold last night, which triggered a relapse of her old headache. The imperial physician has examined her and said that Your Majesty should not be overworked and needs to rest well, so the ceremony of greeting the whole palace has been waived."

Jianqiu announced the Queen's order to everyone, then paused for a moment and said, "Little Master An, Little Master Chun, you two stay. The Queen needs concubines to take care of her, so I'm troubling you two little masters!"

When Jianqiu said this, everyone was immediately surprised, especially Concubine Qi.

An Lingrong also had a surprised expression on her face, but she felt nothing inside, she just found it funny.

As it is near the end of the year, the Empress's headache has recurred at this critical moment.

However, he specifically asked himself and Chun'er to take care of the patient, which shows that there are other "back-up plans" waiting for them!
