I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Baoshu also asked the reason: "Because the main request of the queen before was to let Lord An not cause trouble; Madam lived comfortably in the backyard without being bullied. The staff and maids sent by the Nian Mansion thought that Lord An was trying to make a career and earn a good reputation for the queen, and being ambitious was not considered causing trouble; and because everyone else in the inner courtyard had something to ask for, they were indeed very respectful to Madam, so it was not considered that the queen's request was not met."

An Lingrong just felt a headache.

Let’s not talk about those in the inner courtyard, just take someone like An Bihuai, what future do you think he can have?

"When did the lord start talking about making his own future? Have his staff found out whether he has done anything corrupt or bribery?" Regardless of whether her father had started doing those shameful things or not, An Lingrong had no intention of keeping him this time.

Fortunately, the staff sent by the Nian government were quite capable. They said that An Bihuai planned to send An Linglong into the harem as a double insurance before starting to "show his skills". Now it was still in time to make up for the not-so-big messes he had done.

She asked Baoshu about some details about the An Mansion, and then took another look at An Linglong, who was dressed up gorgeously in the floating brocade she had been awarded. Then she thought of the flash of amazement in the emperor's eyes when he looked at An Linglong, and An Lingrong knew that she had to make a decision early.

Pretending to take a walk, An Lingrong took An Linglong to visit the Imperial Garden, but unexpectedly they met Prince Guo. Anyone with eyes could see that Prince Guo's appearance was far better than that of the Emperor.

Baoshu also inadvertently mentioned to An Lingrong that Prince Guo was both talented in literature and martial arts, and was suave and handsome.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Duke of Pei has been reluctant to marry because she admires Prince Guo. She has been waiting for a long time and has declared that she will not marry anyone but Prince Guo. But Prince Guo said that he only wants to find a good man to be with for the rest of his life. I wonder who will end up marrying such a good prince."

An Lingrong teased Baoshu: "You girl, you insist on being naughty, but who will benefit from it? If outsiders hear this, they will punish you. Prince Guo is a good man, otherwise he wouldn't be admired by so many girls in the capital. But we in the harem should not talk about it carelessly, and don't mention this again in the future."

Baoshu immediately apologized and said that he would never do it again.

An Lingrong glanced at An Linglong, whose face was filled with lust, out of the corner of her eye - the fish was hooked.

The next day, the person sent to serve An Linglong came to say that Miss Thirteen had secretly asked her about the Seventeenth Master yesterday.

On the third day, An Lingrong dismissed everyone and left only Baoshu to serve her. She planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with An Linglong.

"I've met eldest sister."

"Hurry up, we are all family, why are you always so polite? Baoshu, serve tea to Miss Thirteen." An Lingrong stroked her belly slowly with her hand, and her voice was gentle.

After An Linglong sat down, An Lingrong began to get to the point: "The imperial physician said that I will give birth soon, and you have been in the palace for some time. I estimate that if there is no accident this time, mother and concubine Xiao will return to Anyang three days after I give birth. Mother has already told me the purpose of your coming to the capital. I thought that in case I am not energetic enough to take care of you after giving birth, I will help you dress up tomorrow and ask the emperor to come over and sit with you. What do you think?"

As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, An Linglong knelt down and said, "Eldest sister, please understand. That was what father and mother wanted. The emperor is so majestic. How dare Linglong hope for his mercy?"

An Linglong's original goal in coming to the capital was indeed to become a favorite concubine, but after seeing the Emperor and Prince Guo in person, she changed her mind.

An Lingrong pretended to be shocked: "Oh? So you don't want to marry the emperor?"

An Linglong nodded. She first praised the emperor and An Lingrong again and again, saying that she had no intention of disdaining the emperor. Then she got to the point, saying that she fell in love with Prince Guo at first sight in the imperial garden that day, and if she could marry Prince Guo, she would be willing to be a concubine of the lowest rank.

An Lingrong frowned, "Since you know Prince Guo, you should also know that he is determined to be together for the rest of his life. For this wish, he even refused to marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Pei. How can I ask him to marry you? This matter is probably difficult to handle!"

You have to listen to the tone of the words. It's just difficult to do, and the tone of the words clearly showed that there was a way. An Linglong immediately knelt down and kowtowed to An Lingrong: "Linglong knows that I am of humble status and unworthy of being the legitimate wife of Prince Guo, but if I can marry Prince Guo, even as a concubine, as long as I can fulfill this wish, Linglong will definitely follow my elder sister's lead in the future!"

An Lingrong was satisfied. "We are all family, why should we give such a big gift? Baoshu, why don't you help Miss Thirteen up? Since this is your wish, Linglong, I will definitely do my best to help you achieve it."

"However, Prince Guo is a little insistent on the matter of marriage, so this matter must be handled slowly. I am about to give birth, so I can't take care of these things for the time being. You should stay in the palace for a while longer." I will leave you in the capital and I will pack up slowly.

An Linglong naturally had no idea of ​​what was in An Lingrong's heart. She cried with joy and kept thanking An Lingrong.

Later, An Lingrong gave birth to Hongxian and was promoted to Consort Jia. When the emperor was very happy after giving birth, An Lingrong mentioned to him that An Linglong wanted to marry Prince Guo.

Although An Linglong's father was only a minor official, her sister was already one of the four concubines, Concubine Jia. It would definitely not work for her to become a concubine like Ye Lan'yi, regardless of whether Prince Guo was willing or not, and he would have to secretly issue an edict.

The emperor could only tell An Lingrong about his difficulties, but An Lingrong said that Prince Guo had already accepted Ye Lanyi, and accepting one was the same as accepting two. Since the rules had been broken, his previous words about only looking for one confidant were naturally no longer valid. She just kept asking the emperor to talk to Prince Guo again.

If it was just the Emperor asking Prince Guo, he would naturally not agree. But who asked An Lingrong to find a master from the Nian Mansion and secretly send a secret letter with some nonsense to Prince Guo using an arrow?

So, the night before An's mother and Xiao's concubine set out on the road back to Anyang again, they received an imperial decree that their thirteenth daughter, An Linglong, would marry Prince Guo as a concubine on a chosen date. At that time, the thirteenth daughter would be personally escorted from the palace by Concubine Jia, who had just finished her confinement.

Mother An and Aunt Xiao thanked An Lingrong profusely and left with smiles on their faces.

An Lingrong was also smiling. She had already given orders. After her mother and the others returned, the concubines and children in the inner house of the An Mansion would continue to kill each other for resources; after Linglong got married, An Bihuai would become mentally weak; and after Hongxian held his first birthday party, his grandfather would die in the yamen where he worked because of his excessive dedication.

Mother, letting Aunt Xiao and her son accompany you to spend the rest of your smooth and prosperous life is Lingrong's last kindness to you.
