An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

Concubine Hua successfully stole the limelight from the newcomer and was very satisfied with it.

Then he turned his head and asked casually.

"Is the Queen not angry?"

Yixiu felt a slight headache, she clenched her hands and pretended to be generous and comforting.

"The Emperor is busy with government affairs, so it's inevitable that he has neglected my sister. Please bear with me."

Concubine Hua has always been arrogant and domineering. She does not take the Queen seriously and even covets the position of Queen openly or secretly.

Yixiu didn't wait for her to speak and changed the subject.

"Today, a new bride has arrived in the palace, and my younger sister has come to meet her. With these new sisters, the palace is more lively."

Hua Fei, who loved the emperor deeply, was indeed distracted. She turned her head and saw Xia Dongchun talking to Fu Cha Guiren in the crowd.

His face darkened and he silently rolled his eyes.

An Lingrong knew that the Queen wanted to introduce the newcomer to the harem.

She stood calmly in front of Fang Jiachunyi and knelt down with everyone else.

"May the Queen be blessed with happiness and peace of mind."

The queen kindly asked everyone to stand up and pay their respects to the concubines.

Jiang Fuhai said that Concubine Duan was ill and could not meet with everyone. As the role model of the harem, the queen naturally had to show her concern.

After hearing what the Queen and her servant said, Concubine Hua couldn't help but frown, knowing that the Queen was deliberately trying to provoke her.

Everyone half-knelt to salute Concubine Hua, but she discussed the difference between jadeite and emerald with the Queen, implying that the Queen was old and ugly, in response to her previous attack on someone.

An Lingrong was glad that she used something before coming, otherwise she wouldn't be able to squat so steadily.

In fact, she was worrying too much. After taking the fitness pills, she is now healthier than the average man.

The two people in front were fighting back and forth, neither wanting to lose.

The Queen didn't want to get entangled with Concubine Hua, so she reminded her to ask everyone to stand up.

"Oh! You were so busy talking to the Queen that you forgot you were still polite."

Concubine Hua calmly asked everyone to stand up.

"I heard there's a very capable Consort Xia."

Xia Dongchun stepped out with a smile on his face and knelt down to salute.

"May the Concubine Hua be blessed with peace and prosperity."

This caused Songzhi, who was beside Concubine Hua, to chuckle, and An Lingrong also tried to hold back her laughter.

It seems that Xia Dongchun really offended her aunt who taught etiquette, as she actually taught the etiquette of palace servants.

Obviously, Concubine Hua was also impressed by her stupidity. She said that she was good at dressing up, asked about the material of her clothes, and then asked someone to stand up.

"Who are Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan?"

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang at the front of the team greeted each one of them.

The conversation between Concubine Hua and the other two could be heard from time to time. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang talked back and forth, perfectly blocking Concubine Hua's verbal sparring.

After watching the lively scene, the queen finally put an end to the three people's witty remarks and persuaded the sisters in the harem to do their best to give birth to children for the emperor.

Everyone nodded in agreement, including An Lingrong.

The next procedure should have been to discuss the matters of meeting the Queen Mother, but unexpectedly the Queen said something.

"The Emperor has specifically promoted Concubine An's position and moved my sister from the Yanxi Palace to the more spacious East Side Hall of the Yonghe Palace. My sister must serve the Emperor attentively and be happy soon."

"I thank the Emperor for his grace and will follow the Empress' instructions."

An Lingrong greeted the queen in fear, hating the queen to death in her heart.

This vicious old woman's words pushed her to the forefront.

Hua Fei, who had just been told by the Queen not to be jealous, just snorted. Even Xin Changzai, who was talking to her before paying her respects, had a look in her eyes that looked a little strange.

The queen achieved her desired goal and asked with a smile.

"Jiang Fuhai, what did the Queen Mother say?"

After getting the permission that there was no need to pay a visit, he let everyone go back first.

The ladies in high positions left first, and An Lingrong waited on the side, asking them to go first.

Xia Dongchun originally wanted to mock An Lingrong, but when she saw Concubine Hua staring at An Lingrong, she smiled with glee and walked out.

More than ten years ago, Concubine Hua entered Prince Yong's mansion as a concubine, and she has always been the only one who has received such great favor.

It was learned earlier that the Emperor had personally bestowed a title on Zhen Huan, and then the Empress suggested that An Lingrong be promoted and given a new palace.

How could she tolerate this?

Concubine Hua stood directly in front of An Lingrong and gave a strong order.

"Keep your head up!"

A face as white and tender as jade came into view, and Hua Fei felt a pain in her heart and spoke harshly.

"Hu Meizi!"

Then he walked away angrily, and Songzhi hurried to comfort him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that An Changzai is just the daughter of the humble Songyang County Magistrate. How can she compare to our sister, the brave general who is highly regarded by the Emperor?"

"Besides, the Emperor's fondness for the Empress is obvious to everyone in the palace."

"Even the Queen has to give you some leeway."

Of course, she said the last sentence in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

Watching Concubine Hua walk out of Jingren Palace, An Lingrong moved slowly.

Baoque, who was waiting outside, was very anxious when he saw Fang Jia agreed to come out, but he couldn't see his young lady. However, he knew his limits and didn't pull her to ask.

As soon as he saw An Lingrong, he hurried forward to support her.

Only after they were far away from the gate of Jingren Palace did he ask with concern.

"My dear, nothing happened to you, did you?"

An Lingrong shook her head gently. The garden was crowded with people and noisy, so it was not a place to talk.

As soon as the master and servant stepped into the garden, they heard Hua Fei talking.

"The maple leaves don't seem red enough this year."

Songzhi, who understood her master's thoughts, took over.

"I heard that maple leaves only look beautiful red when dyed with blood."

"Really? Then I'll give Xia Chang a reward of one hundred scalps..."

Hua Fei said this lightly, and ignored Xia Dongchun who was knelt and begging for mercy.

Yi Zhang Hong was a punishment in the palace. A two-inch thick and five-foot long wooden board was used to hit the person below the waist until blood oozes out and the tendons and bones are broken.

The Emperor and the Empress didn't care, and the Imperial Hospital didn't dare to offend Concubine Hua. Even if Xia Dongchun didn't die, her life would be over.

Bao Que grabbed An Lingrong's hand in horror, and An Lingrong shook it back. Without her instigation, Xia Dongchun would still be gone.

Every inch of the huge harem was stained with blood.

If you live here for a long time, you can see everything.

After the crowd dispersed, An Lingrong led Baoque and hurried past, taking a shortcut towards Yonghe Palace.

Even from a distance, I could still hear Zhen Huan's exclamation and panic.

It must be Fuzi, the spy sent by the Queen to Concubine Hua's palace, who appeared in the well.

Baoque also heard the noise in the garden, and she asked tremblingly.

"Miss, do you need me to check it out?"

"No need. There are so many people in the garden and they will know everything. This is not a place to stay for long. Let's go back first."

An Lingrong quickened her pace.

As they stepped into the gate of Yonghe Palace, both the master and the servant breathed a sigh of relief.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, An Lingrong called over Baoge, who was left behind to watch over the house.

"Bao Ge, go to the Imperial Hospital and find a doctor named Wei Lin to get some fever-reducing and tranquilizing medicine."

Bao Ge agreed repeatedly and ran out the door.

"Slave, thank you, miss."

Baoque kowtowed heavily.
