Of course the emperor knew that Shen Meizhuang would not fake a pregnancy to win favor.

But she couldn't even notice such an obvious situation, which really let down the emperor's expectations of her.

In fact, it can be seen from the mung bean soup incident that Shen Meizhuang is not a smart person, but the emperor still decided to give Shen Meizhuang another chance.

After all, it is really hard to find the right candidate.

She must have a family background that can intimidate people and a calm temperament, and finally, she must be smart. Otherwise, if her temperament is like that of Concubine Qi, she will not be able to last a single round with Concubine Hua.

The emperor originally thought that Shen Meizhuang was the person tailor-made for him, but unfortunately, this person was not smart enough.

Zhen Huan's life has been really hard recently. Regardless of whether Mei Zhuang really faked her pregnancy to win favor, she didn't want to lose this ally. But Liu Bin, who diagnosed Shen Mei Zhuang's pulse, had already escaped and couldn't be found in a short time. Mei Zhuang couldn't be released for a while, and the emperor was afraid that he would plead for her, so he simply disappeared.

Zhen Huan wanted to find someone to help her intercede, but she had no good friends with anyone around the emperor.

Cui Jinxi, who was friends with Su Peisheng, had long been assigned to another place by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Her former teaching nanny Fang Ruo had also been removed from the emperor's presence long ago because she had violated palace rules.

As Bitong Academy fell out of favor, the things sent to it by the Ministry of Internal Affairs became more and more perfunctory. Thinking back to the days when she was out of favor, Zhen Huan couldn't help but shudder - this couldn't go on!

One day, An Lingrong was accompanying the emperor to visit the garden when she suddenly heard a burst of singing.

The smile on An Lingrong's face froze. Who was this song that made her want to rewind and play it again in her dreams at midnight?

Could it be that the secret of her rebirth has been discovered? Or maybe someone else has also watched the original plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and wants to recreate her former way of gaining favor.

But this is not right. If she had been reborn or traveled through time and space and knew the plot, she would have known that she was treated as a kabuki by Concubine Hua because she sang in public to win favor, and the emperor treated her like a toy and didn't even want to give her a title himself. She should have known the origin of her Li Fei, and even the nickname "An Xiaoniao" that was widely circulated in later generations...

The emperor was also attracted by the singing and walked towards the source of the singing involuntarily. An Lingrong's mind was full of random thoughts and she also wanted to know who this person was.

She was wearing a green Qi-colored dress, standing in the middle of a pond full of lotus flowers, holding a handkerchief in her delicate hands, dancing to the sound of the song with a unique charm...

Golden brocade dress.

The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed, and the closer he got to An Lingrong, the faster his heartbeat became.

Until that beautiful figure turned around and said: "My concubine Huanbi from Bitong Academy pays homage to the Emperor and to Lady Jia."

The case is solved, it’s Huanbi.

Well, that's not surprising.

Only then did An Lingrong have the mind to make a comparison. Huanbi's singing voice was not actually that beautiful, but it was in this situation and the artistic conception was quite beautiful.

The emperor looked at Huanbi with a touch of amazement in his eyes: "The song is good, and life is better."

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were almost glued to Huanbi, An Lingrong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Zhen Huan really understood the emperor's aesthetic taste.

An Lingrong actually wanted to confront Huanbi head-on, but not only was the chance of losing very high, she really didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Huanbi.

So, An Lingrong said to the emperor: "Princess Wen Yi must have woken up by now. I want to go to Sister Cao to see Wen Yi."

Just as she was about to leave, the emperor held her hand and said, "I haven't seen Wen Yi for a while. I'd like to go with you to see her."

An Lingrong looked up at the emperor with a look of disbelief and flattery in her eyes.

Although the emperor said to Huanbi "You go back first, I will come to see you another day" before taking An Lingrong away, An Lingrong was still surprised.

On the way to Concubine Cao's place, the emperor kept holding An Lingrong's hand and did not let go.

After teasing Wen Yi for a while at Concubine Cao's place, the Emperor took An Lingrong back to her Ru Gu Han Jin.

As it got dark, the servants all went out and lay on the bed. The emperor asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Why did you leave so quickly this afternoon? I almost didn't react. If I really asked you to go see Wen Yi alone, I don't know how you would cry in your bed tonight."

An Lingrong threw herself into his arms in anger and said, "Who wants to cry? It's because the emperor is staring at others and can't move his eyes away. I'm afraid that the emperor will push me aside, so I might as well be more sensible first."

The scene this afternoon made An Lingrong a little bolder when facing the emperor. She would never dare to say these words in the past.

The emperor understood An Lingrong's inferiority complex. Wasn't he the same when facing the empress dowager?

Because the Queen Mother would always choose the Fourteenth Child between him and her, and because the Queen Mother had sung that nursery rhyme to him only a few times. So he would find an excuse to leave when the Fourteenth Child came, so he only dared to ask his mother to sing the lullaby for him again in his dreams.

Sometimes the emperor looked at An Lingrong as if he was looking at another self. He grasped An Lingrong's chin, lifted her head slightly, and asked her to look directly into his eyes: "I will not let you lose face in front of outsiders. Not today, and not in the future." There was a seriousness in Yinzhen's eyes that he had never had before.

An Lingrong's tears suddenly fell.

At this moment, she felt cherished and treated tenderly.

"Your Majesty, I must take it seriously." At this moment, let her take it seriously. Even if the emperor was lying to her, she would accept it.

"You have no joke."

Overnight the red waves overturned.

An Lingrong was still feeling sweet inside when Baoshu came to report: "The Emperor went to Bitong Academy today. I heard that the Biguan girl has been promoted to Bidaying."

The honey was filled with bitter melon juice, and An Lingrong's expression returned to her usual fake smile: "Got it. I'm tired and need to go to sleep for a while. You can go out first."

Only those who fall in love with the emperor are fools. Look at the Queen, look at Concubine Hua in her previous life, look at Concubine Duan...Except Zhen Huan, which of these people has a good ending?

I almost became a fool myself.

An Lingrong kept convincing herself in her heart that she should be thankful that the Emperor did not come today.

Anyway, I have paid off my loan now and I feel debt-free.

After thinking about the current situation, I realized that there didn't seem to be any projects that required spending points in the short term. So I could just use the existing points to redeem some study materials.

When people are busy, they have no energy to think about love.

This is what An Lingrong told herself.

"System, I also want to learn some things about the future. Where should I start? I still have 15 points in my account. Can I buy something?" An Lingrong felt a little embarrassed when talking about her current points. She had just paid off a loan and was a little poor now. She didn't know if she could buy anything with these points.
