I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

In fact, An Lingrong suspected that the queen in the previous life was nine out of ten aware that Shen Meiyu's pregnancy was fake.

The first is, of course, that Concubine Cao's plan is full of loopholes if you think about it carefully.

They didn't have any contact on weekdays, but on that day, she invited so many concubines who had given birth and Shen Meizhuang to her place. This was obviously very abnormal. And Fuling, why did she go to deal with the clothes that were soiled by menstruation in front of the emperor and so many concubines? The people of the Ulanara family were spread all over the palace, and it was impossible for the queen not to observe these details.

Secondly, what An Lingrong was most certain of was that the Queen did not abort Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy. If Shen Meizhuang was really pregnant, the Queen would definitely not be so calm.

Not to mention her original intention of setting up the "Did She Have An Abortion?", just based on Shen Meizhuang's identity, the Queen would not let her give birth to the child regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.

Shen Meizhuang was once very favored, although she was later overshadowed by An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, but the green chrysanthemums given to her and the residence renamed Cun Ju Tang are evidence of this. She is now just less favored than An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, but not completely out of favor.

She has also been exposed to palace power. This is not only the reason why Concubine Hua pushed her into the Thousand Carp Pond in her previous life, but also what the Queen cannot tolerate. Shen Meizhuang is only a noble lady now, but she is already learning to manage the affairs of the harem. When she is promoted to a higher position, will she become another Concubine Hua?

Although Shen Meizhuang was not as arrogant and domineering as Concubine Hua, she was more hateful than Concubine Hua. She was just a noble lady, the emperor's concubine, but she always acted dignified and gentle, and her style was more like that of a queen than that of Yixiu.

Please, if you want to be a concubine, you should act like a concubine, okay?

She has a good family background, good looks and good character. If she has another prince... Yixiu: How about you take my seat?

To be honest, the sister combination of Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan poses no less threat to Yixiu than Concubine Hua.

Therefore, the Queen in the previous life must have known that this was a trap set by Concubine Hua, which is why she was able to keep it so stable.

An Lingrong was assigned to Rugu Hanjin this time. She calculated that the distance between her and the Qinzheng Palace where the emperor lived was about the same as the Bitong Academy where Zhen Huan lived.

And to be honest, her Ru Gu Han Jin is even bigger than the Bitong Academy where Zhen Huan is.

After making this comparison, An Lingrong felt better.

But she didn't feel comfortable for long before something unpleasant happened: "Why is today's lunch so simple?"

An Lingrong was now a noble lady, and her daily allowance was supposed to include 6 jin of pork, 8 plates of mutton, 15 chickens and ducks, 10 jin of white flour, liang of sugar, liang of sesame oil, jin of tofu, liang of rice flour residue, jin of fresh vegetables, eggplants, and squashes.

These portions were enough for her to have meat at every meal, and she could even leave one or two dishes that she had not used as rewards for her trusted palace maids and eunuchs.

But what did you serve her today?

Such dishes reminded her of the days when she was not favored in her previous life.

It wasn't a big deal, but An Lingrong was rarely angry.

Now Baoshu can make most of the best-selling incense, and that is enough. An Lingrong has learned the lesson from her previous life and never mentions that she can make incense in front of outsiders.

Now that Baoshu knew how to make incense, she asked Baoshu to bring a little palace maid sent by Concubine Hua's family to make incense. She learned some poetry and songs on weekdays. She didn't ask to become a talented woman, but only to have some scholarly air.

An Lingrong is never afraid of hardship, but studying will inevitably make people irritable.

Dealing with the emperor to earn points for his dragon energy was already annoying enough, so the trivial things like food and clothing became one of her few sources of happiness. But Shen Meizhuang, who was so tactless, cut their share by half, and the queen even interfered.

That’s right, her vengeful nature exploded, and An Lingrong remembered everything that happened after Baoshu finished reporting.

What a brainless Shen Meizhuang, you really deserved to be framed and pushed into the Thousand Carp Pond in your previous life. An Lingrong didn't feel guilty at all for having killed Shen Meizhuang in her previous life.

It is a disaster for people at the bottom of society like them to let such people who seem smart but are actually stupid come to power.

Just as if the grass on the table was Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong reluctantly had an unsatisfactory lunch and hurried to Concubine Hua.

"Seeing that everything is normal here, Your Majesty, I feel relieved." Crabs are cold foods, and Hua Fei cannot eat them when she is pregnant. Even if the palace reduces the allowance, there is no reason to treat pregnant women harshly, so the food and drink here for Hua Fei remains the same as before.

But Concubine Cao had just mentioned that the palace expenses had been drastically cut. Her daughter, Princess Wen Yi, was not even a year old yet, and only needed breastfeeding. Concubine Cao's share had also been drastically cut.

Concubine Hua had never made any mistakes in major matters during all these days of assisting in the management of the harem, so she understood that there was something fishy going on in this matter.

"Although Lady Shen wants to cut down on expenses, we can't let our own people suffer too much." Concubine Hua ate snacks slowly, "Go and ask Zhou Ninghai to give some silver notes to the maids and eunuchs in our palace to supplement their income."

Since An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo recognized her as the boss, Concubine Hua also paid for the welfare of the palace maids in their palace, using their names.

An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo couldn't help but express gratitude upon hearing this.

An Lingrong did have the silver bills sent by the Tong family and the extra income from making and selling incense every month. She could afford to pay the palace maids, but it would be a bit painful. Cao Qinmo didn't have such a rich family background. The emperor usually gave her objects, but she only had the right to use them. She didn't have that much cash.

Cao Qinmo was the most grateful for this. She expressed her gratitude by brainstorming for Concubine Hua: "Is there any good thing in this world that can gain both fame and profit? Since Concubine Shen wants to flatter the emperor, why don't we help her spread her good name to every corner of Yuanmingyuan, so that everyone in this garden will know how thoughtful Concubine Shen is."

An Lingrong also had the same idea: "Sister Cao is very clever. This matter was mentioned by Concubine Shen in front of the emperor, and the Empress ordered it to be done. Concubine Hua is getting worse and worse now, so it is inevitable that her energy is a little insufficient. It is reasonable that she can only take care of her own people. No matter how hard the people in other palaces are, they can only blame Concubine Shen for being greedy for credit and favor."

Cut the originally halved quota in half again, and let the resentment in the palace become even more intense!

The last time Cao Qinmo followed An Lingrong's example and let the Nian family take over her own family affairs, they agreed on the general principles for their future behavior in the palace.

In major events, do not harm others unless necessary, because like a goose flying by, it leaves traces behind; if you want to harm someone, you must use a killing move to kill them in one blow, lest they come back to life again.

But like now, they can still do it for small and insignificant things.

Anyway, so many people have already intervened in this matter, so it doesn't matter if they take the opportunity to muddy the waters even more.

The ultimate beneficiary of this matter is the emperor. No matter how much resentment the six palaces have, it is directed at Shen Meizhuang. Even if they are discovered, the emperor will not say anything.

The matter had been agreed upon, and An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo were about to leave when Songzhi came in and reported that there was some news about Huanbi's identity that they had asked to be investigated last time.

"Your Majesty, you would never imagine this. Huanbi is actually the illegitimate daughter of Zhen Huan's father Zhen Yuandao!" Song Zhi revealed this shocking news with indescribable excitement in her tone.
