The Legend of Zhen Huan: Year after year, we share the spring breeze

The weather is getting colder and colder. After the first drop in temperature, An Lingrong "lived up to everyone's expectations" and fell ill!

Fortunately, since Shen Meiyu became pregnant, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager would send her supplements every now and then. Shen Meiyu picked out some things that replenished qi and nourished blood, and prepared them every day, and had Caiyue send them to the Yanx Palace. She personally watched over her while she drank them. An Lingrong became stronger, and although she caught a cold, after taking two doses of medicine, she was almost recovered and only had a slight cough.

A few days after the first heavy snow, the emperor favored Fang Chunyi.

An Lingrong felt more energetic and went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Queen!"

The Queen, sitting at the head of the table, smiled and said, "It's been cold and windy these past two days. It's hard for you to come and pay your respects to me so early. Please take care of yourselves!"

The concubines stood up and saluted again: "Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

Zhen Huan hadn't seen An Lingrong for a few days. Seeing that she still looked a little pale, she asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

An Lingrong pretended to be weak and said, "I'm feeling better now. Thank you for your concern, sister." After that, she coughed twice in a pretentious manner.

Concubine Qi fiddled with her gorgeous armor and said disdainfully, "You haven't seen any improvement after all these days of treatment. It's obvious that the imperial physician isn't doing his best. Your good sister didn't even bother to find a better imperial physician for you!"

An Lingrong continued to play the role of weakness, "Your Highness, Concubine Qi, you are joking. It is because I am weak that the imperial physician dares not use strong medicines. We can only proceed step by step."

Fang Chunyi, who was sitting below An Lingrong, continued, "Sister Wan is only focused on Sister Wen and ignores me. I'm your sister too!"

Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Yes, you are naturally my sister. Aren't we all sisters here?"

The Queen looked at Fang Chunyi and said, "Chun Changzai has become better and better. Is the Emperor treating you well?"

Fang Chunyi said with a bright smile: "Yes, the emperor is very good to me. Every day he orders the imperial kitchen to make a lot of delicious cakes for me." After saying this, he did not forget to reveal a satisfied smile.

Looking at her innocent and lovely appearance, the concubines present couldn't help laughing.

"Chun Changzai is really likable. No wonder the emperor likes you so much." Jingpin said with a smile.

At this time, the Queen spoke up, "Chun Changzai, now that you have become the Emperor's concubine, you must know your limits and know what to do and what not to do. Especially in front of the Emperor, you must be more careful about your words and actions and not lose the face of the royal family. Do you understand?"

Fang Chunyi nodded obediently and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. I will follow your instructions and will not let Your Majesty down."

The Queen looked at the concubines around her and continued, "The same goes for you. As the Emperor's concubines, you must be tolerant, support each other, and work together to maintain peace in the harem. Only in this way can the Emperor handle government affairs with peace of mind."

All the concubines responded in unison: "We will follow the Queen's instructions."

"Yes," Fang Chunyi nodded heavily, "Your Majesty, I have a small request. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to it."

"Say it!"

Fang Chunyi pretended to be innocent and said, "I want to live with Sister Wan. I moved out before to avoid her illness, but she has been well for so long, I still want to keep her company."

Zhen Huan secretly complained in her heart, but she had to put on a decent smile on her face, "It's so lonely living alone in Suiyuxuan. If I could have Concubine Chun's company, I would be very happy too."

"Of course it's good that you want to move there. If everyone in the palace has such a good relationship as you sisters, then I can rest assured!" After saying that, he looked at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong lowered her head and fiddled with her handkerchief.

After paying their respects, Noble Lady Fucha and An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace together.

On the way, Noble Lady Fucha said disdainfully: "Chun Changzai is so clever despite being so young. Is she planning to take advantage of the opportunity to fly high?"

An Lingrong lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Noble Lady Fucha became even more angry, her words full of sarcasm, "Everyone knows that besides Concubine Hua, they are the only two favored ones right now. Now that they're together, it's even easier to win favor. But you, you usually have a good relationship with Noble Lady Wan, but this time she only invited Concubine Chun to live with her and not you. Don't you think about why?"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left arrogantly!

An Lingrong held Baojuan's hand as they walked slowly, saying dejectedly, "They come from similar backgrounds, so naturally their personalities are more compatible."

Baojuan walked while carefully observing her expression.

After dinner, An Lingrong used the excuse of going out for a walk and brought Caixing to Suiyuxuan.

Zhen Huan was reading a book. Seeing her coming, she hurried to greet her, "You haven't been to my place for a while!"

An Lingrong got straight to the point, "Sister, I heard that Concubine Chun is favored because..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhen Huan's face had already turned grim. Seeing this, Jin Xi took over the conversation, "That day, the Emperor was talking to the young lady, and the servants were all outside the palace. Concubine Chun ran into the palace with a few bouquets of red plums, and the servants didn't try to stop her. That's when the Emperor noticed Concubine Chun. Concubine Chun even mentioned that she was seventeen years old!"

An Lingrong nodded, "Sister, there's no need to be angry about this. It's only a matter of time."

"I'm not angry that she's favored, I'm just angry that she's using me as a ladder to her position. When I first entered the palace, I treated her sincerely..."

The two were speechless for a moment.

"My lady, Concubine Chun wants to see you!" Xiao Yunzi entered the hall and reported.

"Let her in."

Fang Chunyi jumped into the hall, "Sister, I heard Sister Wen is here!"

Zhen Huan's expression changed, and she said lovingly, "You just moved back, and she wanted to come see you. Before she could even go to your place, you came!"

Cai Xing, who was standing behind her, brought out a piece of brocade and two plates of snacks. An Lingrong took her hand and said, "Congratulations on your new home. Please don't be disgusted!"

"Thank you, Sister Wen, I love snacks the most!" Fang Chunyi smiled sweetly, but turned around with a hint of contempt and asked the maid beside her to take it.

After a few more words, Fang Chunyi took out a few boxes of scented powder and placed them on the table. "This is jasmine powder. Madam ground up white jasmine flowers and mixed it in. This powder is fine and fragrant, and whiter than snow!"

An Lingrong sniffed it calmly. This spice contained oleander powder, but the amount used was very small. Even if she applied it on her body all day long, it would not cause any harm to her body.

This perfume powder was made by Fang Chunyi's nanny herself, so there shouldn't be any problem. Even if she wanted to harm someone, the amount is too small!

Something was wrong. An Lingrong watched silently without saying anything.

"Sister, please try it. It smells so good!" Fang Chunyi opened the box, gently dipped some perfume powder, and applied it to An Lingrong's face.

An Lingrong smiled and dodged, "I have a cough today, and the imperial physician told me not to use perfume."

"Hey, Sister Wen, just try it. I made this with great difficulty!" Fang Chunyi insisted and moved forward again.

An Lingrong's eyes flickered slightly, and she no longer refused. She tilted her head slightly and let Fang Chunyi apply a little powder on her face. She smelled a faint jasmine fragrance, which was indeed very pleasant.

"How is it? Does it smell good?" Fang Chunyi looked at An Lingrong expectantly.

"Mm, it smells good." An Lingrong nodded in praise, "Thank you, Chun'er."
