I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 84 An Lingrong (84)
Two distinguished guests came to the palace almost at the same time, and Concubine Wan and Concubine Jia became pregnant almost at the same time, and were promoted to Concubine Wan and Concubine Jia on the same day. With two people of such similar status and position, it is inevitable that people will compare them.
Now that Concubine Jia has just given birth to a child, she has helped her half-sister to find such a good marriage. In contrast, Zhen Yurao, who entered the palace earlier than her but has not made any moves yet, the comparison between the two inevitably makes Concubine Wan appear to be "inferior".
How does this work?
It just so happened that Prince Guo took advantage of Hongzhou and Lingxi's hundred-day banquet to explain to Zhen Huan why he agreed to marry An Linglong and Meng Jingxian as his concubines.
Shen Beile always loved to follow his seventeenth brother, and this time he came to the palace with him. Prince Guo went to tell Concubine Wan about the difficulties he had to marry, so only Shen Beile and Zhen Yurao were left.
Zhen Yurao is young and beautiful, and they both have similar interests and hobbies. After chatting for a few minutes, wouldn’t they be attracted to each other?
She thought about how Concubine Jia had recently asked for the position of Prince Guo's concubine for her illegitimate sister; her own sister was also a concubine and had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, more children than Concubine Jia; she was still a legitimate child, so if she asked her sister, she might be able to become Prince Shen's legitimate wife in the future.
This was what Zhen Yurao planned in her mind, but considering that her sister had been in a bad mood recently, she wanted to wait until her sister was in a better mood before bringing up the matter.
Zhen Yurao had a good idea, but anyone who had been in the palace for a long time knew that delay would lead to changes. If she waited, she would never have the chance to speak again.
Not long after An Lingrong finished her confinement, she personally sent An Linglong off to get married.
She said nice things, telling An Linglong to come to her for support if she had any problems in the future, but secretly she had asked Baoshu to give An Linglong the medicine that would make people increasingly weak.
After entering Prince Guo's mansion, there is Ye Lanyi, who is wild and hard to tame and loves Prince Guo more than her own life, in front of her; and there is Meng Jingxian, who is willing to gamble the reputation of all the women in the family to marry Prince Guo. The future of An Linglong is really exciting.
First, let her be tortured in the Prince Guo's mansion, and when Prince Guo died, it just so happened that her concubine also died with him because of her deep love for the prince. This matter was handled in a reasonable and seamless way, it was simply perfect!
Watching An Linglong getting on the wedding sedan at Prince Guo's mansion with a look of sweet anticipation, An Lingrong also smiled happily.
As soon as An Lingrong returned to Yongshou Palace, she saw the Emperor playing with Ni Chuhe.
An Lingrong adjusted her smile to a gentle and kind one: "Greetings to His Majesty. I just sent my sister back from her wedding. How long have you been here? Are you anxious?"
The Emperor asked the nurse to take Ni Chuhe away. After exchanging a few pleasantries with An Lingrong, he began to get down to business: "The Queen has not been feeling well lately. Although Concubine Jing is gentle and generous, she alone cannot handle everything. Since you are already a concubine, I think it would be better for you to learn how to manage the affairs of the harem together. I wonder if Rong'er is willing?"
Ever since she got out of confinement, Zhen Huan has been trying to take action against Fang Chunyi and Kang Changzai, who are members of the Queen's party. The Queen, not to be outdone, often uses Bi Changzai as a target. The two of them have been fighting back and forth. It is estimated that the two of them have made the Emperor act as a judge too many times recently, so the Emperor is a little annoyed and asked this question.
But to be honest, An Lingrong really didn't want to take on the mess of managing palace affairs. Putting aside the emperor's suspicious nature, managing palace affairs was simply a thankless task.
Not only does she waste a lot of time every day, but she will also be held jointly responsible if something goes wrong. Don't you see how fast the head of the Imperial Household Department is updated in the original plot? In this life, it is also thanks to An Lingrong and her many plans, as well as the emperor's feelings for Concubine Hua, that Huang Guiquan, the head of the Imperial Household Department, was able to be saved.
Besides, managing palace affairs does take some effort. Wouldn't it be better if she used this time to study? After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, she spent most of her time fighting in the palace, and her studies have not made any progress recently. She still wants to learn more knowledge.
In a nutshell, the risks are too high and the returns are not commensurate.
An Lingrong rejected the emperor's proposal on the grounds that she had no energy to take care of two children.
Seeing that she was sincere, the emperor stopped trying to persuade her.
An Lingrong thought that the matter of the Emperor wanting others to share the Queen's palace power had ended there, but who knew there would be a sequel.
I don't know what the emperor was thinking. He knew that the queen and Zhen Huan were already at odds, but he still divided the palace power into three equal parts, letting the queen, Concubine Jing, and Zhen Huan manage them respectively. Let's not talk about Concubine Jing's position for now. The emperor is really not afraid that the queen and Zhen Huan will fight to the death.
Not long after, rumors spread that the deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory said Fang Chunyi was unlucky and that it was probably because of her contact with Concubine Wan that Concubine Wan had a difficult delivery. The deputy envoy of the Imperial Observatory also said that the Empress Dowager's illness had not been cured for a long time and it was probably related to Concubine Chun. The emperor believed this and Fang Chunyi was put in solitary confinement. The emperor asked her to live alone in Chonghua Palace these days and not to go anywhere.
In the early years, Fang Chunyi gained the emperor's favor by virtue of her childlike innocence and her good relationship with Concubine Wan.
The emperor still remembers that when Zhen Huan was disgraced, he himself could not bear not going to Sui Yuxuan for a long time, but Fang Chunyi insisted on accompanying Zhen Huan through the difficult times; later he staged a play to demote Zhen Huan to Penglai Island, but Fang Chunyi also stayed with Zhen Huan.
But time passed year after year, Fang Chunyi is now in her twenties, and it is inappropriate for her to pretend to be naive and ignorant; and the deaths of Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince made the Emperor dislike Fang Chunyi, who had accompanied Zhen Huan to seek refuge in Penglai Island at that time.
Later, Zhen Huan regained favor, but Fang Chunyi was always mediocre in favor. Originally, the Queen was not in a hurry to let Fang Chunyi compete for favor, after all, her subordinates Zhenpin and Kang Changzai, although not very beautiful, were young and lively, and the Emperor would occasionally visit them in the palace.
But as Zhen Huan and An Lingrong rejoined the competition for favor after giving birth, the emperor visited them less and less. The queen compared the qualifications of these three people and still felt that Fang Chunyi had a greater chance of winning favor again.
Not long after, the news that Concubine Chun of Chonghua Palace had fainted from hunger due to dieting spread to all the palaces.
An Lingrong watched Fang Chunyi walk down her old path step by step, feeling both happy and hateful. The Queen's tactics really never change.
The New Year's Eve party this year belonged to Fang Chunyi. She danced on the ice with Hongmei, and the Queen mentioned the Emperor's favorite Chunyuan. The right time, right place, and right people were almost all right. Seeing that the Emperor was about to favor the Queen's team again, Bi Da Ying also mentioned Zhen Huan's stunning dance.
When Concubine Zhen took over the fight between the Queen and Huanbi, the Emperor simply said, "Wanwan's peerless beauty is incomparable to anyone else," and then stood up and went to personally welcome Fang Chunyi over.
Needless to say, the emperor was so cheesy with Fang Chunyi later on. Before New Year's Eve, not only was Fang Chunyi restored to favor, she was also made Concubine Chun.
The Emperor visited Fang Chunyi from the Queen's Team most of the time in the following months after Dancing on Ice.
Zhen Huan saw that this was not going to work. She was barely on par with the Queen in terms of palace power, so how could she lose to the Queen's team in terms of favor?
But now that she had become a concubine, it was embarrassing for her to use these methods to win favor. So, after many years, Huanbi finally had her spring of popularity again.
