The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

"This Concubine Hua is too arrogant. Sister, you don't know that I just went to Xianfu Palace to see Sister Mei, and she hasn't woken up yet."

"Sister Zhen stayed up all night, not sleeping and just watching over Sister Mei. It was really pitiful. I can't help much, so I can only ask someone to send some supplements over. I hope Sister Mei can wake up soon."

An Lingrong thought about the scene she had just seen and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Yes, everyone knows what happened last night, but because of the emperor, everyone can only pretend that they know nothing."

Fu Cha Zhixi also felt somewhat uncomfortable with the emperor's cold-hearted attitude. Even though this coldness had not yet been directed at her, she still felt a sense of grief.

"I also asked Suqin to send some supplements over. I hope Concubine Shen can wake up soon."

"Sister, this Concubine Hua is so arrogant, sister, you have to be extra careful."

An Lingrong looked at her sister's obviously bulging belly with some concern and said.

"Don't worry, as long as Concubine Hua is still clear-headed, she won't dare to do it as blatantly as she did last night. My Fucha family is not a pushover."

"Before, when she wanted to cause trouble for me, she just wanted me to go over and give her a slap. Now that I am a concubine and I am pregnant with the emperor's child, she has to think carefully before she makes any move on me."

Upon seeing this, Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly and looked at An Lingrong and explained.

"That being said, sister has to be on guard."

"Sister is the only one in the palace who is pregnant now. Everyone else is staring at her belly with eager eyes. Even if Concubine Hua is not there, there are others, right?"

Seeing that Fu Cha Zhixi looked calm, An Lingrong said anxiously.

"Lingrong, I'm very happy that you can say these words to me."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the anxious An Lingrong sincerely and reached out to hold her hand.

"I know you're saying this for my own good, but most of the time we can only wait for the other party to make a move. If we are too cautious, we will end up like a frightened bird. Before others do anything, we will be scared."

"Sister, it's good that you understand my feelings. Lingrong is afraid that you will think I am too cruel."

An Lingrong met Fu Cha Zhixi's gaze and shyly looked away, not daring to look directly into the other's watery eyes.

"How could that be? I know exactly how Lingrong treats me."

"You're not that kind of person."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and spoke word by word.

Faced with such a sincere Fu Cha Zhixi, An Lingrong felt extremely guilty for the probing words she had just used.

My sister treated me like this, but I didn't believe her.

An Lingrong was so moved by Fu Cha Zhixi's sincere attack that she burst into tears. She wished she could pour out her heart and put it in front of her sister to show her true feelings.

"elder sister."

"? The jade-like face is lonely and tearful, and the pear blossoms are wet with spring rain."

"If such beautiful eyes shed tears, it would be a special charm. We must let the emperor see it."

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at An Lingrong and said.

"As long as sister likes it."

The Emperor is not important.

If favor was not linked to treatment in the palace, and if she wanted to make her mother's life better at home, she would not have been so eager to please the emperor.

"You don't need to worry too much. Haven't you noticed that Concubine Wan received more favors than Concubine Shen? But it was Concubine Shen who got into trouble."

Fu Cha Zhixi thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Sister, do you mean that Concubine Hua is deliberately targeting Concubine Shen?"

How could An Lingrong be a fool if she could climb from being the daughter of a minor official to the position of a concubine entirely by her own ability?

When she heard this, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Yes, Sister Zhen is much more favored than Sister Mei. If Concubine Hua is favoring her, she should target Sister Zhen.

"Could it be that a sister Mei was granted special permission by the Emperor to learn about the affairs of the six palaces?"

An Lingrong thought for a moment and then answered.

“There are factors in this regard, but these are just superficial.”

"The fundamental reason is that Concubine Hua knew very well that Shen Meizhuang was someone specially arranged by the Emperor to check and balance her."

"This favor has been taken away, although Hua Fei will be jealous, but not to the point of being angry. However, since the power has been taken away, Hua Fei will not give up so easily."

Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong meaningfully and said.

"Sister, are you saying that Sister Shen was chosen by the Emperor from the beginning to enter the palace to check and balance Concubine Hua?"

An Lingrong reacted quickly and immediately grasped a piece of the truth.

"That's right. Even though Concubine Shen is average-looking, her father is the assistant governor of Jeju, so she will definitely enter the palace."

Fu Cha Zhixi was very surprised at An Lingrong's intelligence. No one dislikes smart people.

"You must know that Shandong has been a military stronghold since ancient times, and Nian Gengyao is very powerful. Shandong's attitude is ambiguous. The emperor must find a local official in Shandong to stabilize the situation, and Shen Guiren's father is the best candidate."

"This is also why the Emperor asked Concubine Shen to learn how to manage the affairs of the six palaces as soon as she entered the palace to serve as a concubine. This is to allow Concubine Shen to better check and balance Concubine Hua."

"And didn't you notice that the two concubines in Xianfu Palace were from military families?"

Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly and looked at An Lingrong and said.

"That's what my sister meant."

An Lingrong couldn't help but open her eyes wide and looked at the other person in disbelief.

After hearing what her sister said, she finally saw through the surface and understood the true structure of the harem, as if the clouds had been cleared away and the moon was revealed.

This gave her a sense of sudden enlightenment.

"So there are certain rules for the emperor to choose who to enter the palace and who to favor."

An Lingrong said thoughtfully.

"Of course."

Fucha Zhixi spoke.

"But."

An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha Zhixi hesitantly, not knowing whether she should ask or not. But thinking that her sister had trusted her so much just now, she should show her attitude.

He made up his mind and asked in a somewhat strange tone.

"But my sister's family background is obviously better than Sister Mei's. Why didn't the emperor choose you to learn the affairs of the six palaces?"

"It is because my family background is too good that the emperor does not want to train the next Hua Fei."

Fu Cha Zhixi was also very clear about her own position in her heart. She was just an object for the Fu Cha clan to express their obedience to the emperor.

No matter how much my father loves me, he cannot ignore the entire Fucha family.

The purposely low rank she had when she entered the palace was also to give the Fucha family a warning. After all, there was already a powerful Nian Gengyao. If the Fucha family continued to behave like this, it would be hard for the court to be in chaos.

The emperor must see the sincerity of the Fucha family.
