Jingren Palace is one of the six eastern palaces of the inner court. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been home to many high-ranking concubines.

For example, Empress Xiaokangzhang, the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi, and Empress Xiaoyiren, the wife of Kangxi, both lived in Jingren Palace.

After the current emperor ascended the throne, his successor, Empress Ulanara, was also conferred the title of Empress in Jingren Palace.

An Lingrong was naturally familiar with this palace.

In her previous life, as a leader in the Queen’s team, she had often listened to the Queen’s “teachings” in Jingren Palace and performed various tasks for her.

Now, she has returned to the time when she first met the Queen. Instead of being nervous and uneasy as before, An Lingrong's mood is extremely calm.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Don't panic. Just follow us and perform the etiquette taught by Aunt Fangruo."

Unlike An Lingrong who had already let it go, Zhen Huan was actually very nervous at this moment.

After all, the next person they are going to meet is the Queen, who is the official mistress of the six palaces!

In addition, the concubines in the six palaces will also be examined.

Even Zhen Huan, who had been taught etiquette since childhood, was only calm on the surface. Her slightly trembling fingers could indirectly reveal her inner feelings at the moment.

Having said that, Zhen Huan still tried to comfort An Lingrong, trying to comfort her and herself.

"Thank you, sister. I understand."

An Lingrong noticed Zhen Huan's little action, smiled slightly, and reached out to hold Zhen Huan's hand.

When two hands are joined, warmth is passed on.

Zhen Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled back.

Chun Chang, who was standing aside, looked normal at this time, with a sweet smile on his face, looking innocent and adorable.

"My three young masters, please follow me inside!"

As soon as An Lingrong and the other two walked into the gate of Jingren Palace, the young eunuch who was guarding the corridor came up to them and bowed to lead them to the main hall.

Several beautiful girls were already standing in the main hall.

However, there was no one sitting on the main throne in the middle, and the chairs around it were also empty. It was obvious that the Queen and the concubines in each palace had not arrived yet.

"Sister Mei!"

As soon as Zhen Huan entered the room, she immediately spotted Shen Meizhuang among the concubines. She quickly walked to her side and called her in a low voice.

"Huan'er!"

Shen Meizhuang turned around and saw Zhen Huan. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. However, she was born in a rich family, so her demeanor remained unchanged. She just smiled and said to Zhen Huan, "Is everything okay?"

"Nature is good."

Zhen Huan knew that there were other concubines around her, and this was the Queen's palace, so it was naturally not convenient for her to have a conversation with Shen Meiyu between sisters. This was also a response to Shen Meiyu's concerned inquiry.

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she pulled An Lingrong over and said, "Lingrong and I will live together. We will take care of her."

"That's great." Shen Meizhuang smiled and nodded to An Lingrong.

"I'm well, sister." An Lingrong also bowed in return.

Although she is not as close to Shen Meizhuang as she is to Zhen Huan, An Lingrong now knows how to advance and retreat, so she can naturally get along peacefully with her.

Shen Meizhuang had only met An Lingrong a few times. The last time they met was when she entered the palace to be selected. Now seeing that she was gentle and calm, she thought that the three of them were selected together and entered the palace together, so they had some affection for each other. An Lingrong and Zhen Huan lived in the same palace, so they could indeed take care of each other.

"Oh, who am I thinking? Isn't this a beautiful girl from a poor and destitute official's family?"

However, at this moment, a harsh sound suddenly came from the side, which immediately destroyed the originally harmonious atmosphere.

Several of the ladies could not help but look sideways at the harsh words, and then moved aside.

As a result, the person who spoke suddenly appeared in the sight of An Lingrong and the other two.

An Lingrong looked up and saw Xia Dongchun with a proud look on his face. Sensing her gaze, he glared back at her without wanting to be outdone.

In response to this, An Lingrong just laughed.

Ignorant and fearless!

These four words are fully reflected in Xia Dongchun.

She was born in the Han Army Banner, and her father was a Baoyi Zuoling. She thought that her family background was good among the beautiful girls in the Han Army Banner. As for those concubines with higher family backgrounds, Xia Dongchun would fawn on them, but as for those who were far inferior to her, she did not take them seriously.

For example, An Lingrong. Because An Bihuai's official position was not high, he was just a small official. In Xia Dongchun's eyes, An Lingrong was just a piece of dough that he could knead and flatten as he pleased.

When she spoke just now, she hadn't thought it through at all. She just couldn't bear to see An Lingrong, Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu talking and laughing, and she didn't care that this was the Queen's palace, so she just started to mock them.

"This is the Queen's palace, how can you be so presumptuous!"

Among the three, Shen Meizhuang had the most honorable rank, being a noble lady. In this selection, only eight people were finally able to enter the palace, including Manchus, Mongolians and Han people. Among them, the only ones who could be compared with her were Fucha from the Manchu military flag and Borjigit from the Mongolian military flag.

When Shen Meizhuang saw An Lingrong being mocked and ridiculed, and saw Zhen Huan ready to make a move, she stepped forward to prevent her good sister from being criticized.

"Haha, sister, you know this is the Queen's palace. This is not an ordinary place. Having such a poor and run-down person here really brings a bad and poor atmosphere!"

Xia Dongchun didn't dare to confront Shen Meizhuang, so he used his sarcastic skills.

Shen Meizhuang widened her eyes slightly, but she didn't expect that Xia would be so unruly. For a moment she didn't know how to fight back.

"So stupid!"

Noble Lady Fucha, who lived in the Yanx Palace with Xia Dongchun, was speechless, but cursed in her heart.

Although An Lingrong's family background was indeed not high, being chosen by the emperor and taken as a concubine was enough to make An Lingrong a great success.

No matter how much you look down on someone in your heart, who would say such things unless they are a fool?

Besides, Noble Lady Shen had already said that this place was the Queen's palace, but Xia Dongchun's head seemed to be filled with grass and he couldn't understand anything people said!

This Xia Dongchun had often bothered her in the Yanxi Palace before, but Noble Lady Fucha was unwilling to pay any attention to her.

Unexpectedly, Xia Dongchun would encounter problems during her first visit to the Queen. Noble Lady Fucha just felt it was too shameful to watch.

"Sister, don't bother with this kind of person!"

Zhen Huan has always been eloquent and was about to go up and start a big fight, but Shen Meizhuang didn't want Zhen Huan to get into trouble, so she stopped her.

The two comforted An Lingrong and told her not to take it to heart.

An Lingrong smiled and nodded, and her words did not indicate that she took Xia Dongchun to heart at all.

This made Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang feel relieved, but also made Xia Dongchun even more twisted.

On the other side, Chun Changzai, for some reason, did not join the crowd to comfort An Lingrong, but huddled in a corner silently, not saying a word.

"It's so early in the morning, everyone is waiting to see the Queen, why are you arguing and shouting?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a group of concubines and palace maids, led by a woman in a light pink Manchu dress, walked into the hall one after another.

There is no doubt that these are the concubines in the six palaces who pay their respects to the queen on daily basis.

The woman in pink who was speaking was the biological mother of the third prince, and also one of the only three concubines in the Forbidden City - Concubine Qi!

When An Lingrong saw Concubine Qi coming, her eyes flashed.

This person was the backbone of the Queen's camp in the early stage!

Although her IQ is questionable, Concubine Qi has a prince by her side and she is a concubine, so she has a certain status in the palace.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, previously..."

As soon as Concubine Qi arrived, the palace maid standing guard immediately came forward to report.

After hearing what the palace maid said, Concubine Qi's eyes towards Xia Dongchun changed instantly.
