After the emperor said this, the smile on the queen's face faded a little.

He was conferred the title of Beile right after he was born, and there was no need to worry that the child would not be able to bear such a great blessing and die before reaching adulthood!

However, thinking that Concubine Hua was half-disabled after this incident, it would be better to posthumously confer a title on her in advance.

The Queen could never change the Emperor's order, so she could only comfort herself with spiritual victory.

Hua Fei, no, now she should be called Hua Guifei. Hua Guifei had already given birth and had seen the child. The Queen Mother and the Empress left immediately.

The emperor wanted to stay and comfort Concubine Hua, but unfortunately, Concubine Hua had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion, so he could only ask the imperial physician and the servants to be more careful. Then he returned to the Qinzheng Palace to review memorials.

Concubine Hua had to stay in confinement for two months, but the weather turned cold after a month, so the emperor took the other concubines back to the palace. An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo were a little worried about leaving Concubine Hua here alone, so they discussed letting Concubine Cao take Wen Yi to stay with Concubine Hua, while An Lingrong went back to take care of the palace.

If both of them stayed in the Old Summer Palace, Concubine Li would be confused. We should be thankful that she can take care of herself and we should not ask for anything else from her.

An Lingrong was extremely surprised to see Luo Zi Dai here: "Where did this come from?"

Baoshu was also amused to see that she was acting silly for the first time, "Look at what silly things your majesty is saying. This is of course a reward from the emperor."

"But I heard that this Luozidai was a tribute from Persia, and it is very rare." If she remembered correctly, this Luozidai was distributed in the Old Summer Palace in her previous life. There were only three hu in total, and the emperor only gave it to the queen, Concubine Hua, and Zhen Huan. She thought it was the same in this life, but because the amount was too small, the emperor asked someone to send it secretly without making it public.

Baoshu explained her doubts: "Isn't what you said, young lady? I heard that this year's Luozidai is only three hu. The emperor gave one hu to the queen, sent one hu to Concubine Hua in Yuanmingyuan, and the last hu was sent to our Yanxi Palace. It shows how much the emperor loves you."

Before An Lingrong could react, another eunuch came over holding a piece of clothing.

An Lingrong would never forget what this was even in her dreams—Floating Light Brocade!

Baoshu was still there passing on information to An Lingrong: "I heard that only five pieces of floating brocade were presented as tribute. The Queen, Concubine Hua, Concubine Jing, you and Wan Chang each received one piece there."

In her past life, she had used Luozidai in the years when Zhen Huan left the palace. In fact, it was just so-so for drawing eyebrows. What was rare was this unique favor. In this life, the last bucket of Luozidai became hers. Does it mean that in the emperor's heart, she is now more important than Zhen Huan?

An Lingrong asked Baoshu to place the snail ink on her dressing table and paint for the emperor when he came.

But she never wanted to wear that floating brocade again.

I really don’t know if it’s a bad fate, but the piece the emperor gave her was the one she left behind in her previous life.

She asked Baoshu to put the floating brocade at the bottom of the box, but she was damn curious whether Zhen Huan would give the floating brocade to Huanbi.

Well, she thought that this floating light brocade was probably another unspeakable obsession of hers.

Ask Baoshu to go out and ask a few questions without attracting attention.

Anyway, Kang Luhai is still the head eunuch of Suiyuxuan, and the aunt Sun who replaced Cui Jinxi has also been reassigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The new aunt in charge is the queen's person, and Suiyuxuan has been sieved for a long time, so it is easy to get information now.

It was such a coincidence that Zhen Huan gave the only piece of glittering brocade given to her by the emperor to Huanbi just like in her previous life.

There are some stories here.

When Huanbi was singing by the lotus pond in the Old Summer Palace, the emperor gave face to An Lingrong and went with her, but went to Huanbi's place the next day.

But Huanbi was not good at poetry or literature after all. Her mind was too simple, and the words "wanting to win favor and improve her status" were almost written on her face.

Although most of the concubines entered the palace for a good career, none of them had their ambition written directly on their face like Huanbi, which was distasteful.

After sleeping with Huanbi a few times, the emperor threw Huanbi aside. After all, there was a more powerful Chunyuan in Bitong Academy. When Zhen Huan wanted to coax someone, there was no one she couldn't coax. Soon, the emperor began to favor Zhen Huan again.

Zhen Huan wanted to find Liu Bin as soon as possible and try to get Shen Meiyu out. Many of her sisters supported her, but the Queen was more reliable than Concubine Hua. Not only Liu Bin, but all his family's graves were overgrown with grass. They were counting on finding Liu Bin to overturn Shen Meiyu's case, but they didn't know when they would find him.

Zhen Huan had no choice but to support Huanbi. She felt a little embarrassed as she had just managed to pry the emperor over to her side, so she begged the emperor to promote Huanbi to a concubine.

Originally, it was not a loss to exchange love for a promise. But what people fear most is comparison.

Since returning to the palace, the emperor only went to Zhen Huan when he came to Sui Yu Xuan. There was also Fang Chunyi and Huanbi competing for Zhen Huan's favor in Sui Yu Xuan. Huanbi really couldn't win anywhere.

Watching it day by day, I couldn't help but feel some resentment in my heart.

It was a good thing that the emperor rewarded Zhen Huan with a piece of floating brocade this time, but Fang Chunyi praised Zhen Huan before Huanbi did, saying how much the emperor doted on Zhen Huan.

Huanbi's mouth was filled with poison, and she began to mock Fang Chunyi just like An Lingrong in her previous life: "It's been almost two years since Concubine Chun entered the palace. In this deep palace, she has seen so many intrigues and deceptions that even a god would be stained by this big dye vat. Who are you pretending to be innocent and ignorant all day long?

You've been in the palace for more than a year and you haven't seen the emperor yet. Why? Who doesn't know what you're thinking? Don't you just want to curry favor with Sister Wan so that she can recommend you to be favored?"

An Lingrong listened with great interest, "Did Huanbi really say that?"

Not to mention, as long as Huanbi's words are not directed at you, it is really pleasant to hear her scolding others.

Baoshu was obviously also very happy to see Zhen Huan's gang bullying each other: "Isn't it true, my lady? Kang Luhai heard it with his own ears, how could it be false?"

"And what happened next? It's impossible for Concubine Wan to let Huanbi offend people like this, right?" An Lingrong couldn't wait to hear what happened next.

Baoshu did not keep the secret: "Wan Changzai first found an excuse to send Bi Da Ying away, and then she comforted Chun Changzai. After all, Chun Changzai will be 17 next year. Bi Da Ying was right, but she is not at the age of a flower, is she just old enough to serve in the emperor's bed? Maybe Chun Changzai really had this idea. Anyway, Bi Da Ying's call has broken the window paper, and Wan Changzai is in a dilemma."

"I heard from Kang Luhai that in order to appease Concubine Chun, Concubine Wan agreed to find a suitable time in a few days to let the emperor know that there is a Concubine Chun in Suiyuxuan."

An Lingrong sneered: "Now who can tell the difference between Wan Changzai and the pimp in the brothel?"
