But there are also things that make Zhen Huan happy.

Her father had already been taken to the old house of the Zhen family in Beijing by the Emperor for treatment. This time, Zhen Huan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The Emperor was so happy that he allowed Zhen Huan's mother and sister to return to Beijing from their happy hometown Ningguta.

Zhen Yurao was young and agile, and had already entered the palace by then.

If Zhen Yurao's arrival brought endless joy to Suiyuxuan, then the arrival of An Lingrong's mother before giving birth could be said to have worn away the last bit of filter in An Lingrong's heart towards her.

In fact, An Lingrong didn't want her mother to accompany her before giving birth this time. After all, when she gave birth to Ni Chuhe, not only was An's mother unable to help, but Aunt Xiao also had to divide her attention to comfort her.

But the emperor didn't know the whole story. He thought that he could tolerate Zhen Huan who was causing trouble in the palace, and he could forgive her mother's family and let her younger sister stay in the palace. Then he couldn't let An Lingrong, who was always worry-free and sensible, be wronged.

So, when the emperor heard that An's mother not only brought Aunt Xiao this time, but also brought An Lingrong's concubine sister, he simply waved his hand and let them enter the palace together.

The emperor thought he was considerate and gave An Lingrong a surprise. However, when An Lingrong saw another person behind her mother, she was not surprised but felt surprised and unbelievable.

Even now, An Lingrong has finished her confinement and this incident happened a long time ago, but when she thinks back to the experience of her mother's visit, she still feels like she had a nightmare.

Time goes back to more than a month ago.

"Mother, besides Aunt Xiao, who is the other person?" After dealing with the emperor, An Lingrong asked Bao Yan to take Aunt Xiao and the young-looking woman to settle down. There was a hint of coldness in her tone that was not easily noticed by others.

Mother An didn't notice An Lingrong's change of attitude at all. She even introduced her to An Lingrong happily, "That's the thirteenth girl born to the ninth concubine of our family. Her name is An Linglong. She was only nine years old when you entered the palace. In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed. Linglong has grown into a big girl. No wonder you don't recognize her."

It was her!

How could An Lingrong not remember the people and things at home?

In the past in the An Mansion, except for Aunt Xiao, all the other concubines had no kindness towards her and her daughter. She has never forgotten the torture and humiliation they inflicted on her.

At first, he could not do anything to them; later, they took refuge with Concubine Hua, and it was also for the sake of his mother, because he was afraid that the rat would damage the jade bottle, so his father stayed in the position of county magistrate. He also knew that his mother actually had no hatred towards his father's concubines and children, so he only asked the nanny sent by the Nian Mansion to help manage the backyard and improve his mother's living environment.

But she didn't expect that her mother not only did not bear a grudge, but was even so kind to her father's illegitimate children. She brought An Linglong all the way to the capital. An Lingrong could guess what her mother was thinking without asking.

Zuo just felt that he was now the head of a palace and had great prospects, so he let An Linglong pursue a good future and try to stay in the capital this time and find a good marriage.

Although she had already guessed it, An Lingrong still hoped to get a different answer.

"I remember now. When we were at home, Ninth Aunt was the one my father liked the most, so Linglong also enjoyed a respectable position at home. My mother went to the palace to accompany me while I was giving birth, so why did she bring her here?" After saying this, An Lingrong stared into her mother's eyes, waiting for her to give her an answer.

Mother An then remembered that when An Lingrong was still at home, even though An Linglong was still young at the time, she was still mean-spirited and she and her aunt had made things difficult for An Lingrong many times.

She was a little embarrassed and smiled flatteringly at An Lingrong: "Linglong was young and naive at that time, please don't be angry with her. She has grown up now and is sensible. She is very considerate to me. I saw that she was sensible, so I thought of bringing her here to see the world."

At this point, she brought up An Bihuai as if to support her argument: "Your father thinks the same thing. He said Linglong is well-behaved and good-looking. Now that the Nian family is declining, Concubine Hua can't help you much in the palace. He is afraid that you will be isolated and helpless in the palace. He thinks that you and Linglong are sisters after all. If Linglong can be lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, you will also have help in the palace."

Very good, An Lingrong’s heart finally settled down.

This was her biological mother. When she was pregnant and working hard alone in the palace, she didn't show any concern or advice to her. Her mind was full of her father's instructions, and she even wanted her to help pimp and send her concubine's sister to the emperor's bed.

Is this what a mother should say to her soon-to-be-born daughter?

She shouldn't have had any illusions about this love-brained woman.

An Lingrong asked her mother with a cold face to settle down first. She had her own ideas about An Linglong's matter.

An's mother is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When An Lingrong greeted her with a smile, even though she knew that what she proposed was not appropriate, she still proposed it without any burden. Now seeing An Lingrong's cold face, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Mother An went to settle the matter, and Baoshu came in to report: "Your Majesty, I saw it clearly. Just a short while after the Emperor came, Miss Linglong looked at the Emperor several times. I'm afraid she has ulterior motives. Your Majesty should be on guard in advance."

An Lingrong sneered, "Even you can see it at a glance, how can I not notice it? At her age and with such a beautiful face, she has come all the way from Anyang to the capital. Her intentions are obvious to everyone! Be on guard? I should take some action. I heard that the housekeeper nanny sent by the Nian Mansion has come to the capital this time. You go and ask her carefully about the current situation of the An family in Songyang, so that I can make plans early."

"Yes." Baoshu knew that the Thirteenth Miss was now a time bomb, and she might shoot them in the back at any time. The situation in the palace was strange now, so it was better to find out the situation quickly and let the queen solve this anomaly as soon as possible.

Baoshu's work speed was getting faster and faster. He came early the next morning and explained the situation while combing An Lingrong's hair.

"Earlier, General Nian's reputation spread far and wide. Lord An was afraid of the power of the Nian family, so he was quite obedient. The concubines, young ladies, and young masters in the mansion also hoped to be the second one to receive the support of the Nian family, so they were all very well behaved.

However, the great general Nian has long been silent. When the queen gave birth to a princess last time, the lady went back and told the master that Concubine Hua was no longer in power in the palace, but the queen herself was very popular. Since then, Lord An often disagreed with the staff sent by the Nian Mansion. It was said that he wanted to do something big.

The concubines and young ladies in the inner courtyard still respect the lady, but the demands they make on her are getting more and more excessive. Even if the staff and maids sent by the Nian Mansion have clear minds, they are servants after all, and there will be times when they are out of reach. "

An Lingrong frowned as she heard this: "If you couldn't control it a long time ago, why didn't you report it earlier?"
