She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Baoque carefully welcomed An Lingrong into the house, but saw that An Lingrong looked melancholy, and couldn't help but look at Baojuan with some worry.

Baojuan saw this and shook her head at Baoque, but said nothing. Baoque knew that it was the young lady who didn't want to say it.

Normally, An Lingrong was quite nice to Baojuan and Baoque, and would share any good food or drink with them. Now that An Lingrong was unwilling to say anything, Baoque naturally didn't want to force it. If Xiaozhang really needed her to do something, she would do it.

An Lingrong thought about it for a whole night and finally decided that the next time she met that palace maid, she would carefully reject the Queen.

But before An Lingrong met the palace maid again, Zhen Huan's Sui Yuxuan finally opened the palace gate.

On the first day that Sui Yuxuan opened its palace gates, Zhen Huan had to go to pay her respects, even though she didn't want to go.

Zhen Huan could even guess that she would be the main topic of the day.

But after being locked up for 3 months, Zhen Huan finally matured. In the past, she only wanted to keep a low profile and hide, but now she is thinking about how to protect herself while being favored.

She never thought that three months would be so long. Just because she was punished by the emperor on the first day of paying her respects to the emperor, all the palace maids, eunuchs, the Imperial Household Department and anywhere else could step on her like this.

There were cold food scraps, stale tea, and even the only charcoal basin they had was Xiao Yunzi's old one. Jinxi and Huanbi had to sleep on the floor under their own bed every night, because there was only one charcoal basin in the entire Suiyuxuan.

If I don't come out, the branches of Yuxuan's osmanthus tree will probably be plucked bare by everyone.

As for the musk under the crabapple tree, if I don't climb up, I'm afraid I will die before others use musk on me.

Therefore, Zhen Huan asked Huanbi Liuzhu to dress her up so that she would not look so haggard, and then went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects.

The Queen was very surprised to see Zhen Huan, because after the selection was over, she had asked someone to inquire about Zhen Huan. This woman was quite arrogant, and she had just come out of the Sui Yu Pavilion, so I don't know how reluctant she was to appear in front of everyone.

But Zhen Huan was not as haggard as she had imagined, nor did she evade. Instead, she dressed up seriously and appeared in front of everyone.

The Queen smiled and praised Zhen Huan, "Chang Wan looks good today. Now that you are out, please serve the Emperor well."

As soon as the Queen said this, everyone focused their attention on Zhen Huan. To be honest, after three months, the big winner among the newcomers had already appeared. Zhen Huan didn't get any advantage by coming out at this time. Many people didn't even know that today was the day Zhen Huan came out. They also lost too much curiosity about Zhen Huan, one of the three more outstanding newcomers at that time.

After all, Concubine Zhao is pregnant, and Concubine Shen is also very favored. A few days ago, another Concubine An appeared, but fortunately, this Concubine An did not have the same luck as the previous two.

The emperor's days are occupied by these people, and the time left for them is getting less and less.

But looking at the Queen's expression now, it is obvious that she still has high expectations for this Concubine Wan.

The concubines in the crowd pursed their lips unhappily, and another one came.

Zhen Huan is not blind, how could she not see the expressions of the crowd? It's just that she is still a person with a lot of energy. As long as she wants to do something, she will definitely do her best to do it. Since she wants to fight, she will definitely get the emperor's favor.

Zhen Huan bowed to the Queen and said, "I was ignorant that day. Please forgive me, Queen."

The Queen looked at Zhen Huan with a face full of satisfaction, "Well, all this is over. I think you have recovered in the past three months. Your sisters have also slept with you. I will arrange for someone to hang up your green card tonight."

Zhen Huan bowed again, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

After paying their respects, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang followed Zhen Huan back to Sui Yu Xuan. An Lingrong pulled Zhen Huan with joy, "Sister Zhen, you are finally out. Don't you know how worried we were about you in the past three months?"

Shen Meizhuang also nodded, "Yes, when you just returned to Suiyuxuan that day, Lingrong came to me, worried that something might have happened to you. I was the one who comforted her. Now that you have come out, I think you look okay. I think the servants in the palace will not dare to neglect you." Zhen Huan paused when she heard this, and after a moment she walked forward with her two sisters as if nothing had happened.

"I'm doing fine, I wonder how Sister Mei and Sister An are doing?"

An Lingrong chimed in, "Sister Shen is very favored by the Emperor. In the three months since we entered the palace, she and Concubine Zhao have been the most favored."

Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows, "Princess Zhao? Which sister is this?"

"Sister Zhen, you don't know that on the day we paid our respects, the emperor asked about Noble Lady Fucha. Noble Lady Fucha slept with us that night, and was named Noble Lady Zhao the next day. Just a few days ago, she became pregnant again, and the emperor was very happy and directly promoted her to Concubine Zhao."

Zhen Huan was extremely surprised. In just three months, the palace had changed so much. They had just entered the palace, and someone had already taken the position of the head of the first palace.

But she was still standing still, which made Zhen Huan, who always thought highly of herself, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Empress Zhaopin is stunningly beautiful. I'm sure the Emperor will love her very much."

Shen Meizhuang echoed, "Yes, Concubine Zhao is indeed favored by the Emperor. Now she is pregnant again, which is incredible."

Seeing this, An Lingrong comforted Shen Meizhuang, "Sister Shen is also very favored by the emperor. Sister Zhen, you don't know, there is another important thing I think I should tell you. Concubine Hua sentenced Concubine Xia to caning, and Concubine Xia's legs are disabled. Now she can only lie in bed.

After the emperor knew about this, Concubine Xia was given the title of Lady Xia, while Concubine Hua was demoted to Concubine Nian. Now Concubine Nian is imprisoned in Yikun Palace.

So in the past three months, the emperor has mostly summoned Concubine Zhao and Sister Shen to sleep with him. As for me, I am now relying on Sister Shen’s help.”

Shen Meizhuang extended her index finger and tapped An Lingrong's forehead. "You, I'm just a small noble, how can you benefit from it? Now that you are serving the emperor, things will get better and better in the future."

Zhen Huan watched An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu getting along and found that during the three months when she was away, they had become closer.

However, listening to what they said, Zhen Huan was also reminding herself to speed up.
