This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 157 Anonymous Woman Invests Together

The Queen usually hated people saying that she was born out of wedlock. Now Hua Fei pointed the finger at her with just a few words, which made the Queen very angry.

Hua Fei is indeed a legitimate daughter, but so what? She still has to pay respect to me and greet me with courtesy.

Seeing Fang Chunyi being embarrassed, Zhen Huan spoke up:

"Don't blame me, Concubine Hua. I was just being straightforward. In my opinion, it's troublesome to move in the winter. It's better to wait until spring comes and invite Sister Chun'er to live with me in Suiyuxuan."

"Let's do as Lady Wan said. The weather is gloomy and it looks like it's going to snow. I won't keep you here any longer. Go away."

The Queen thought about it and realized that as long as Concubine Hua was there, there would be few times when she could have a happy ending to the greeting ceremony.

The snowflakes fell particularly early this winter. On the way back to Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua felt a hint of coolness on her fingertips. She raised her hand and saw that it was indeed a snowflake falling on her hand.

After returning to Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua received the notebook that Nian Xi sent from outside the palace, as well as two paper deeds that Sun Miaoqing asked Nian Xi to bring in.

The contents of the paper deeds are the same, only the names are different. On one deed, the holder is Hua Fei, who holds 30% of the shares, and on the other, the holder is An Lingrong, who also holds 30% of the shares.

In the letter, Sun Miaoqing thanked Concubine Hua for her support. If Concubine Hua had not kept her in the capital, she would not be able to make such a breakthrough in the world she has today.

I would also like to thank An Chang for the spice recipes he worked on day and night. If it weren't for An Chang's recipes, the shop I opened would not have been able to become well-known among the wealthy ladies in Beijing.

Therefore, Sun Miaoqing changed the previous dividend strategy. The three of them received dividends according to their shares, with each of them holding 30% of the shares.

Sun Miaoqing said in the letter that the remaining 10% of the shares were given to an anonymous woman. Every time the store has new products, she is the first customer to patronize it. Even though the store was deserted in the past few days, the woman still supported her business as always.

Therefore, Sun Miaoqing also invited the anonymous woman to invest together.

Concubine Hua looked at the letter and smiled, thinking that the anonymous woman was also a girl with a good temperament and good looks.

"Songzhi, take this letter to the Yanx Palace and make sure to explain everything to me." Concubine Hua handed Sun Miaoqing's letter and the paper deed to Songzhi.

It was snowing, and she was too lazy to ask An Lingrong to come to Yikun Palace, so she simply asked Song Zhi to make the trip.

The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier. Lanzhi lit a charcoal fire in the house, creating warmth. Concubine Hua was leaning on the warm couch, reading a storybook, and feeling drowsy.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Concubine Hua heard a noise coming from the door.

Judging from the footsteps and the sound of the cotton curtain being opened and closed, a short, stocky creature with short legs walked in.

as predicted.

"Gong~" is Lanzhi's voice

"Shh~"

Concubine Hua just listened to the sound without moving.

After a while, the sound of two small shoes falling to the ground was heard.

Then, a furry, warm little head popped into Concubine Hua's arms.

And then... nothing happened.

When Concubine Hua opened her eyes, Linglong had already fallen asleep with her head resting on her arm.

I haven’t even had lunch yet, is it appropriate to fall asleep?

Forget it, she’s sleeping so soundly, so I won’t wake her up.

In the Yiku Palace, the charcoal fire made the main hall warm, and the cotton curtains separated the warmth inside from the heavy snow outside.

When the snow falls, the entire Forbidden City seems exceptionally quiet.

Here, Concubine Hua and Linglong, one big and one small, were lying on the warm couch and taking a nap.

Things were not so peaceful at Suiyuxuan though.

When the snow fell, Zhen Huan was still on her way back to Sui Yuxuan. She had been drowsy in the Queen's Palace, but the snow falling on her shoulders made her a little more awake.

Zhen Huan suddenly woke up and wondered when she started to become so sleepy.

"Huanbi, Liuzhu, since when did I become so easily sleepy?"

"The young lady has been like a hibernating cat lately, needing to take a nap at every turn." Liuzhu's words were always filled with a cheerful spirit.

"Yes, there were several times when the emperor came, and you were still... asleep..." Zhen Huan turned her head and looked at Huanbi.

Huanbi was more meticulous than Liuzhu, and a layer of mist suddenly rose in her heart.

"Liuzhu, you accompany the young lady back to the palace. I will go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Lord Wen." Liuzhu's eyes revealed obvious anxiety and panic.

The three of them, master and servant, have been together for many years and have a very good understanding of each other. Even with just a look or a gesture from Zhen Huan, Liuzhu can immediately know what Zhen Huan is thinking.

"Don't make any noise, let's go back to Suiyuxuan first."

As they were still on the long street, there were many servants and palace maids passing by, Zhen Huan said in a low voice.

Liuzhu responded softly.

An Lingrong watched Chun Changzai return to her side hall in the Yanxi Palace with her head down. Noble Lady Fucha snorted at her back and turned to An Lingrong and said sarcastically:

"An Changzai has always been on good terms with Wan Guiren as a sister. This Chun Changzai has picked a high branch and didn't fly away. An Changzai must seize the opportunity. You are all Wan Guiren's sisters. There is no reason for Wan Guiren to love her and not you."

Noble Lady Fucha, relying on the fact that she holds the highest position in the Yanx Palace, has become increasingly impolite in her words recently.

An Lingrong listened to Noble Lady Fucha's sarcastic tone, lowered her eyes and said nothing. After Noble Lady Fucha left, An Lingrong also returned to the side hall.

"My lady, when Concubine Chun first gained the Queen's favor, she begged the Queen to let her live in Suiyuxuan. Fortunately, Concubine Chun did not succeed. According to this servant, my lady, you are usually too polite. The Emperor has been to Suiyuxuan so many times, you should try your luck more often."

After sending away a batch of embroidered purses and handkerchiefs, Baojuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to urge An Lingrong to take advantage of Concubine Wan to win favor.

"Baojuan, I have finished making the little cotton jacket for Jinghe. It's snowing and I'm too lazy to go out. You can deliver it to her for me." An Lingrong was already upset because of Concubine Chun's "birth theory". Now listening to Baojuan's nagging, she just wanted to drive her out.

"Yes."

"On the way back, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some more gold thread. This time I want to embroider a centenary longevity picture that is even more detailed than the one I gave to the empress dowager last time. So divide the silk thread you get into 12 strands tonight. Be careful. It will be of great use to me."

Baojuan decided to go to Jianqiu to apply and see if she could get a job in the palace instead.

As soon as Baojuan left, An Lingrong felt that the room became much quieter.

Before she had time to think about anything, Bao Que walked in: "My lady, Aunt Songzhi is here."

"Please."

Baoque lifted the cotton curtain to let Songzhi in.

Songzhi performed the blessing ceremony for An Lingrong in a very proper manner, without any trace of arrogance.
