An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

The Queen Mother has always had a bad impression of Concubine Hua.

Long before Yongzheng ascended the throne, Concubine Hua had already married into the royal palace.

At that time, Queen Chunyuan had passed away, and Nian Shilan was married into the palace as a concubine.

Because of her beauty and the fact that Yongzheng intended to use the power of the Nian family to increase his chances of succession, Nian Shilan was treated as his exclusive concubine.

Similarly, it was also for this reason that Nian Shilan became spoiled and did not take the people in the palace seriously.

Nian Shilan was born into a family of military generals. She was naturally arrogant and she fell in love with Yongzheng. She would become jealous of others every now and then, causing the Yongzheng Palace to become noisy and chaotic.

Although the Empress Dowager, who was still Concubine De, had lived in the palace for a long time, she would often hear her son complain to her. From then on, she had no good impression of Nian Shilan.

Take the present day for example, the Empress Dowager issued an edict entirely at the Emperor's request.

Apart from this relationship, she had no good feelings towards Concubine Hua at all.

Therefore, the Queen Mother did not want to see them at first.

But on second thought, the emperor now wanted to stabilize Nian Gengyao and make him work for him wholeheartedly, so he would release Concubine Hua.

Since I have already helped my son, I can't let anything go wrong at this time.

Therefore, after some thought, the Queen Mother decided to give Concubine Hua a chance to perform.

Considering that Concubine Hua has always been dissatisfied with others taking away the emperor's favor, the empress dowager asked Shen Meizhuang to take An Lingrong and Zhen Huan to the back hall to stay away from Concubine Hua.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness!"

At the same time that An Lingrong and the others were brought into the back hall by Sun Zhuxi, Concubine Hua also walked into the main hall with Yu Ying'er and accompanied by Song Zhi.

In front of the empress dowager, even the arrogant and domineering Concubine Hua was respectful and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

After all, she is the emperor's mother, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager!

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and wish... the Queen Mother long life and good health!"

Compared to Concubine Hua's respectful salute, Yu Ying'er, who met the Empress Dowager for the first time, was undoubtedly more panicked. Not only did she speak stutteringly, but her whole body was shaking.

Concubine Hua had never thought highly of Yu. The reason she recommended her to the emperor was simply because Yu Ying'er could sing Kunqu opera and was very capable. In addition, Yu Ying'er was young, so even if she was not good-looking, she could be used as a chess piece.

Now seeing that the other party couldn't even speak clearly in front of the Empress Dowager, the contempt in Hua Fei's eyes became even stronger.

"Okay, everyone, get up."

The Queen Mother naturally noticed Hua Fei's expression, and knew that this "Madam Miaoyin" was just a tool for the other party to divide her favor. She sighed in her heart and asked the palace maid to give Hua Fei a seat.

"I heard that the Queen Mother had been suffering from a cough and had not recovered. I wanted to come and visit her, but previously... I was unable to come. Fortunately, I have received your forgiveness, and I am finally able to come and pay my respects to you!"

Although Concubine Hua sometimes does things based on her own preferences, it does not mean that she cannot speak.

Take this moment for example, she came here intentionally to please the Queen Mother, so she naturally knew what to say to please her.

"Just some old problems."

The Queen Mother shook her head slowly, looking unconcerned, and said, "I know you are filial, but you still have to focus more on the Emperor. The Emperor has doted on you for many years, and his affection for you is unique among all the harems!"

"I know!"

When Concubine Hua heard this, a touch of happiness first appeared on her face, and then turned into a faint bitterness. She whispered: "I have failed the emperor's trust and also attracted Concubine Qi..."

When talking about Concubine Qi, Concubine Hua paused for a moment, and her face showed just the right amount of guilt and uneasiness, as if she really hadn't meant to make Concubine Qi so angry.

The Queen Mother knew the whole story of this matter, and she didn't intend to argue with Concubine Hua. She just said, "Since you feel guilty, you should take it as a lesson and don't make the same mistake again."

"Yes, I will follow the Queen Mother's instructions!"

When Concubine Hua heard that the Queen Mother did not want to investigate the matter further, she immediately showed a look of relief, and then nodded heavily, as if she had taken the Queen Mother's words to heart.

Then, Concubine Hua wanted to take credit for it in front of the Queen Mother, so she said, "Look, Queen Mother, this 'Miaoyin Lady' is proficient in Kunqu Opera, and is the Emperor's favorite sister recently. This is the first time she has come to pay her respects to you! In order to show her filial piety to you, she and I have specially copied scriptures for you!"

Yu Ying'er had experienced the anxiety before, so she didn't dare to say much at this time. The more she talked, the more mistakes she might make. So at Hua Fei's suggestion, she knelt down in front of the empress dowager again, took out two scriptures, and held them above her head.

"You all have a heart."

The Queen Mother looked at the two books that looked exactly the same and understood Hua Fei's intention clearly.

It is estimated that Concubine Hua must have known that Zhen Huan and An Lingrong had copied scriptures for her, and she was eager to please them so she chose to imitate them.

However, it was no secret in the palace that Concubine Hua was not good at writing.

As for that "Madam Miaoyin", the empress dowager vaguely remembered that she seemed to be a palace maid from the Yime Garden who was promoted. Even if she was given the title of a concubine, it was not clear that she would have any thoughts in this regard.

Therefore, all of these were handled by Concubine Hua alone, and whether they were effective or not is a matter of personal opinion.

"As long as the Queen Mother is happy, I will be satisfied!"

Concubine Hua did not come to Shoukang Palace very often. When she saw the Empress Dowager asking someone to take away the scriptures, she thought she had successfully pleased her, and the smile on her face became brighter than before.

After finishing her flattery, Concubine Hua rolled her eyes and said, "By the way, Queen Mother, I heard that Concubine Shen and the others often come to pay their respects to you. Why don't I see them now?"

Hua Fei's original intention was actually to take this opportunity to attack Shen Meizhuang in order to show off her "filial piety".

However, because of her previous pride, she overlooked one point, that is, people in high positions are always reluctant to let others know about their own affairs easily.

In this regard, the emperor is like this, and so is the empress dowager.

Sure enough, when Concubine Hua finished speaking, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hua with a sharp gaze, and then said: "It seems that Concubine Hua is very concerned about the affairs of an old woman like me!"

"No! I'm just curious!"

Concubine Hua felt the change in the Queen Mother's tone, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing!

After realizing this, Concubine Hua immediately tried to make amends, "I was originally thinking that I might run into Concubine Shen on the way. If so, it would be a good opportunity for them to meet and get familiar with each other. After all, they will be living together in the future..."

Concubine Hua made excuses for herself to show that she definitely did not go there specifically to inquire about the matters concerning Shoukang Palace.

"Mrs. Shen arrived early, so I asked them to leave."

After casually explaining Hua Fei's question, the Queen Mother said, "Speaking of which, I have a better idea! Rather than letting Madam Miaoyin live in Xianfu Palace, which is so far away, why not let her go to Yikun Palace? Both of them are people you, Hua Fei, promoted, and living in the same palace with you will complement each other better!"
