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

Chapter 52: The Story of the Stone

Yu Ying'er spoke more and more harshly, and her eyes widened. She felt that this little guy just wanted to pick on her.

"I will do my job well. Please take care, my lord."

Xiao Xiazi despised Yu Ying'er in her heart. A little concubine dared to call herself "this concubine" by relying on the emperor's favor. Even the Empress Hua, who had the worst temper in the palace, had never said anything harsh to her. What are you, a hot-tempered rabbit head? You can only sing a few lines of Kunqu Opera. You can even sing "A Dream in the Garden" now. Let's see how long you can be so proud.

Xiao Xiazi was upset in his heart but did not show it on his face.

Yu Ying'er was turned away. In the evening, Eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang came to the Yangxin Palace to ask the emperor to pick a name card, and this task was done exceptionally smoothly.

Eunuch Xu held the green card in his hand, bent over, and was about to say in his eunuch voice, "Your Majesty, please turn over the card."

"Just agree to it, An." Before Eunuch Xu could finish his words, the emperor directly named An Lingrong. As the emperor spoke, he used his fingers to wet his saliva and turned the corner of a page of the book, as if he was reading very seriously.

"Yes." Eunuch Xu was overjoyed. He wished that every day this job could be as easy to handle as today. This An Da Ying must be a deity. He would go and pay his respects to her when he has time.

-------------------------------------

In the afternoon, as soon as the emperor left Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing sent Ruyi, who was by her side, to Yikun Palace to report back and inform Concubine Hua that the matter had been settled.

When Ruyi came, Concubine Hua was leaning on the couch reading the storybook that Nian Xi had just sent to her. Mr. Sanjin had a stubborn temper, and Nian Xi tried to persuade him with both emotion and reason, but failed to persuade him to update a few more chapters of the storybook.

Fortunately, when Nian Xi was sorting out his grandfather's old books, he found a few tattered volumes. At first glance, Nian Xi knew that they were good things that could sell well in the market, so he quickly sorted them out and asked a carver to reprint a few copies and send them to the palace for his aunt to enjoy.

As soon as Hua Fei opened the first page, she saw three big characters "The Story of the Stone" written on it. Hua Fei felt a little depressed as the name was not loud at all. However, she could not let her nephew down and decided to just read it for now.

I had just read the beginning when Ruyi came.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty Hua Fei."

"Get up, your master asked you to come, is the matter settled?" Concubine Hua put down the notebook and looked at Ruyi.

"Yes, Concubine Jing asked me to tell you that your efforts paid off. Today, the Emperor came to Xianfu Palace to visit Princess Wen Yi and happened to meet An Da Ying."

Hua Fei immediately became curious and asked Ruyi to tell her the details of the scene.

Ruyi was also a girl with a sharp tongue and good eloquence. She described vividly how An promised to hold Wen Yi and sing nursery rhymes, while Concubine Jing was doing needlework on the side and the Emperor stood for a long time behind the gauze curtain. Concubine Hua listened to it as if she was reading a storybook. She was happy and grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds to reward Ruyi.

Concubine Hua felt a great sense of accomplishment. Ever since she knew that Zhen Huan resembled Chun Yuan, she seemed to have mastered some special skill. She could win the emperor's heart with just a little thinking. This feeling was so great. It seemed that she was not stupid either.

Moreover, Concubine Hua was very happy. Her efforts did change the nature of many things in the previous life. In the previous life, An Lingrong danced and sang for Zhen Huan. In the end, An Lingrong didn't even finish her self-introduction before she was shut up by the emperor with a word of reward.

In this life, the emperor has clearly taken An Lingrong seriously. The Chun Yuan card is truly a universal card in palace fighting.

In the previous life, Zhen Huan sent An Lingrong to the Emperor to give him a cool summer. In this life, she, Nian Shilan, sent An Lingrong to the Emperor to give him a warm spring.

Hua Fei's eyes were full of calculation. She picked up the teacup and skimmed the foam on the tea. She said, "Songzhi, have someone spread the news. An promised to meet the emperor today. The emperor fell in love with An at first sight. This news must be passed to the queen before dinner."

"Yes, I will make sure it's done." Songzhi no longer worried that Concubine Hua would cry because the emperor favored another woman.

Her queen is different now, as long as it is not related to the emperor, she will do it with full energy and spirit. Songzhi thinks it is good this way, at least she won't have to spend the long days in the palace in tears all the time.

Songzhi chatted with Ruyi a few days ago, and Ruyi said that her queen had also undergone such changes. Since Wen Yi came to Xianfu Palace, the queen no longer touched the bricks of Xianfu Palace late at night and counted the cracks with tears in her eyes.

This kind of thriving state of mind really makes them feel so happy as slaves. When their masters are not EMO, it is much more pleasant for the slaves to do their jobs.

The servants in Xianfu Palace and Yiku Palace were doing their jobs in a sunny and cheerful manner, but Miss Jianqiu in Jingren Palace was in a gloomy mood when she heard about the encounter between An Lingrong and the Emperor.

Seeing that Concubine Jing was an honest person, the Empress was merciful and allowed her to raise Princess Wen Yi. Unexpectedly, when she was old and ugly and could not win the favor, she pushed Concubine An away and even took advantage of Princess Wen Yi.

An Da Ying was supposed to be a chess piece of the Queen Mother, but now she is being used by Concubine Jing. Jianqiu just feels that Concubine Jing is hateful.

And An Da Ying is also a foxy girl. She rushed to vie for favor without even waiting for the Queen's recommendation. The Queen should have the final say in the harem. She and Yu Da Ying, these foxy girls, don't even take the Queen seriously. It's really against the rules and they deserve to die.

When Jianqiu heard the gossip among the young palace maids, she became extremely angry. She pursed her lips into a straight line and walked towards the study, dragging her shoe horn and flag. She was going to complain to her queen!

At this moment, Ulanala Yizheng was standing in front of the table in the study practicing calligraphy. When he heard Jianqiu's footsteps, he did not stop writing the word "忍" with the brush in his hand.

"You know the rules of this palace."

"Yes, I know my crime." Jianqiu stiffened her neck and admitted her mistake.

"Since you're here, tell me what's the matter." The queen had just finished writing the word "blade" and moved the tip of her pen to the left, preparing to write the word "heart".

"Now the palace maids are saying that Promise An met the emperor by chance in Xianfu Palace and won his favor, and was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold." Jianqiu said with gritted teeth. Why should she, a promise, get a hundred taels of gold? This is totally against the rules.

Hearing Jianqiu's words, Yixiu paused with the brush in her hand, and put down the brush in annoyance, sat down and drank a cup of tea to calm down.

"Why would An agree to go to Xianfu Palace for no reason?"

"I heard that Princess Wen Yi had been fussing about sleeping recently, so Concubine Jing asked for permission to sing nursery rhymes to Princess Wen Yi and coax her to sleep. Today, when Wen Yi was taking a nap, the Emperor happened to go to see Princess Wen Yi, and they met."

"Did no one specifically remind the emperor to visit Wen Yi?" Yi Xiu asked with her head tilted.

"No, the emperor did not meet anyone in the morning. After lunch, he went to Xianfu Palace by himself."

"In that case, it will be a blessing for An Lingrong." Yixiu felt sorry that An Lingrong made this move too late, otherwise she would have recommended her in front of the emperor and would have definitely shown favor to An.

But it doesn't matter. This girl from a small family exudes a sense of pettiness from head to toe. Even if she is favored by the emperor, it is unlikely that there will be any trouble. Yixiu doesn't take it seriously.

Besides, whether one can succeed in sleeping with the emperor is still uncertain.

"Go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some jade table and golden cups to An Ying later to add to the festive mood."
