I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Seeing that the Queen's fake smile was almost unbearable, An Lingrong was really glad that Concubine Hua did not come today because she claimed to be ill.

The emperor's favor to Zhen Huan is really too much. Even Jingpin, who has always been indifferent to everything, looks at Zhen Huan with envy in her eyes, not to mention others.

After this birthday banquet, Zhen Huan felt that she was doing well again, so she complained to the emperor again, saying that a while ago, the Imperial Household Department sent her withered pomegranate flowers. The implication was that she wanted the emperor to stand up for her and get rid of Huang Guiquan, the current chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.

The Emperor understood Zhen Huan's request, but acquiesced to Huang Guiquan's decision to find another young eunuch to take the blame. He reprimanded Huang Guiquan and let him go.

Zhen Huan was a little unhappy, but the emperor also had his own considerations.

Now the imperial concubine has not appeared in public for a long time. Although he would visit her from time to time, it was inevitable that other people in the palace would think that Shilan was not as favored as before. Huang Guiquan was Shilan's distant relative after all, and he had some kinship with her. With Huang Guiquan, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, at least no one dared to deduct the imperial concubine's expenses.

If it were someone else, who knows if Shilan would end up in the same situation as the former concubine when she was ill for a long time, with a lack of medical care and medicine?

Even for Nian Shilan, the emperor would not easily punish Huang Guiquan.

Although the matter of replacing Huang Guiquan was not accomplished, the emperor still gave Zhen Huan many things to appease her. Therefore, Zhen Huan did not become depressed and discouraged.

She was certain that Concubine Hua and her group had killed her sister Mei, but now Concubine Hua was hiding in her Yikun Palace and would not come out easily. She could only start with a few of Concubine Hua's thugs, divide them up first, and then deal with them one by one.

The first person to be "interviewed" by Zhen Huan was An Lingrong.

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan coming to the Yanxi Palace to find her, the first thing that came to her mind was not what bad idea Zhen Huan had in mind, but how rare it was that Zhen Huan actually came to her Yanxi Palace on her own initiative.

Even in their previous lives, when they first became good sisters, it was Shen Meizhuang and she who would go to Sui Yuxuan diligently every day as if to pay a visit.

In An Lingrong's memory, except for the time when she attended her final resting place, there were almost no times when Zhen Huan took the initiative to visit her palace.

Whenever she saw Zhen Huan or even thought of her, An Lingrong would think of the past, her miserable past life, and those malicious commentary videos about her.

An Lingrong is living a good life so far, so she doesn't want to think about the past except when it's necessary for palace fighting. The person she least wants to see now is Zhen Huan.

But it happened that Zhen Huan came to her house on her own initiative today, so she couldn't just chase her away immediately.

"Why did Concubine Wan think of coming to my Yanxi Palace today?" An Lingrong looked a little surprised, and she was indeed surprised.

Zhen Huan first exchanged greetings with An Lingrong, and then An Lingrong asked Baoshu to bring her a small round stool.

In her previous life, when An Lingrong went to Sui Yuxuan, she rarely sat on the couch opposite Zhen Huan. It was usually Shen Meiyu who sat there, and she always sat on the small round stool that was moved around.

So she didn't want Zhen Huan to sit on her couch.

Even though there was no one sitting opposite her, An Lingrong still wanted Zhen Huan to experience the feeling of sitting on a small round stool and looking up at others.

Of course Zhen Huan noticed An Lingrong's little trick. She was not blind. She didn't let herself sit on the big seat opposite An Lingrong, and instead specifically asked herself to sit on a short and hard small round stool.

But Zhen Huan just thought that this was An Lingrong's silent rejection of her.

She didn't care. After sitting down, Zhen Huan first made a few polite remarks and then began to hint to An Lingrong that Concubine Hua was like a huge ship that was about to sink and that following her would not end well.

Afterwards, he showed off to An Lingrong the warm jade hairpin that the emperor had given her to warm her fingers, as well as the unique Shu brocade jade shoes in the harem, implying to An Lingrong that since he was now in great favor, it would be best for her to jump ship and be with him.

Looking at what Liu Zhu had placed on her desk, it was said that each item was a rare treasure given to Zhen Huan by the Emperor. An Lingrong wondered, did Zhen Huan think that she was from a humble family and could be bribed with these things?

Just like in the previous life, Fang Chunyi pretended to be innocent and said that the pajamas she made were twisted by the emperor and given to her to play with, but the emperor cherished the pajamas made by Zhen Huan. After knowing that she was unhappy, Zhen Huan asked Cui Jinxi to send two hairpins immediately, saying that it was to coax her, but in fact it was more like hinting to her that it was good enough and she should be more sensible.

In past and present lives, her routine has never changed.

But I am no longer the Wu A'mon I once was.

With a cold face, she told Zhen Huan to take away all the things she brought. No matter how many things the emperor rewarded Zhen Huan with, he would not give nothing to other people, especially since she still had some weight in the emperor's heart in this life.

Who isn’t a favored concubine?

Besides, in addition to the rewards given by the emperor, she also received extra subsidies from Concubine Hua from time to time.

Even if Nian Gengyao temporarily stepped down, the good things he had looted in the local area had not been confiscated. Even if we take a step back, the foundation of the Nian family is not comparable to that of the Zhen family.

Even if the Emperor likes Zhen Huan so much, can he still give all his private treasury to Zhen Huan?

The Nian family was afraid that Concubine Hua would be trapped in the Yikun Palace and suffer injustice, so they took advantage of Prince Hongchang's 300th birthday party and other occasions to find opportunities to stuff Concubine Hua with gifts.

It has to be said that this move of the Nian family benefited not only Nian Shilan, but also Concubine Li, Cao Qinmo and An Lingrong.

So, even though the things Zhen Huan gave were indeed good things, and there were quite a few of them, An Lingrong really had no shortage of good things now.

This action was somewhat unnecessary for her.

Just like Zhen Huan said, I am also favored now. Since we are both favored concubines, don’t you think it would be a bit useless for us to join forces again?

However, in the previous life, Zhen Huan recommended herself in order to rescue Shen Meizhuang and also to deal with Concubine Hua.

In this life, now that Concubine Hua is like this, why is she still trying to win me over?

Suddenly I felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have been so impulsive to drive Zhen Huan away. I should at least ask her the purpose of her visit before driving her away.

An Lingrong secretly reflected on herself, thinking that she had lived a very comfortable life. Now she was almost losing her brain. She would get carried away when she saw Zhen Huan. She must never do this again in the future.

In palace fighting, if you lose your brain and caution, you will soon lose your life.

While An Lingrong was reflecting on herself, Zhen Huan did not stop her troubles.

The reason why Zhen Huan chose An Lingrong as the first person to persuade them to surrender was because she was the last one to join Concubine Hua's team. Zhen Huan thought she was the one who was most likely to be shaken. However, before she could say a few words, she was politely asked to leave by An Lingrong.

Zhen Huan's second stop was Cao Qinmo's place. She said the same thing as in her previous life, using Princess Wen Yi as the starting point, saying that Concubine Hua was visibly in poor condition. "Sister Cao, you have to make more plans for Princess Wen Yi, right?"

If it weren't for the conversation with Concubine Jia, maybe Concubine Hua would just be lying in wait, and Concubine Cao might really be persuaded by her, just like in the previous life.

But now Concubine Cao was taking Wen Yi to the Yikun Palace every day to visit Concubine Hua and cultivate her relationship with Hongchang. When Zhen Huan tried to persuade her with such words again, Cao Qinmo found it a little ridiculous.

But she is an old actress after all, so she pretended to be hesitant and told Zhen Huan to reconsider it.

Having said that, Cao Qinmo would naturally keep the things that Zhen Huan brought.

Don’t miss it. I’ll ask Madam Kong to come over and check it out later. If there’s nothing wrong with the items, she’ll keep them as a dowry for Wen Yi in the future!
