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

"Miss, Concubine Hua is going too far. She's afraid the newcomer will take away her favor, so she's threatening to uproot a tree."

Huanbi was indignant and spoke up for the young lady.

I think that since their young lady entered the palace, she has paid her respects to the queen every day and has never neglected the high-ranking queen.

Zhou Ninghai, that dog slave, actually clamored to cut down the osmanthus tree in Suiyuxuan and sent it to the imperial kitchen to be burned as firewood. Isn't this just bullying the young lady because she hasn't received the emperor's favor yet and they have nowhere to complain.

Huanbi thought about it and felt that she had grasped the key point.

"Miss, since Concubine Hua is so bullying, then we should just win the Emperor's favor as soon as possible. My lady, you are both talented and beautiful, and you will definitely win the Emperor's pity."

Seeing Zhen Huan looking up at her in confusion, Huanbi asked in a low voice.

"My lady, do you need me to find out the whereabouts of the Emperor?"

Zhen Huan grabbed her arm and scolded her harshly.

"Huanbi, be careful with your words! Spying on the emperor's whereabouts will result in death."

Distraught, Zhen Huan regretted not taking advantage of the previous incident to severely punish Huanbi.

She ordered Huanbi to stay behind at Suiyuxuan, and secretly told Liuzhu to keep a close eye on Huanbi and not let her make any stupid moves.

The next day, when she went to pay her respects to the Jingren Palace, the Empress Dowager reminded Concubine Hua that as an elder sister, she should be magnanimous and not bully the newcomer.

Concubine Hua, who was already late, said a few perfunctory words and continued to brag about the emperor's stay last night, which made the queen so angry that she asked everyone to leave early.

The triumphant Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at Zhen Huan and An Lingrong when she passed by them.

Arrogance is written all over her body: What can you do to me!

Jianqiu turned around and reported the matter to the queen.

The queen put down the sweet soup in her hand and gave the order with a smile.

"Jianqiu, Suiyuxuan is far away, and the courtyard must have some beautiful flowers and trees. Ask the greenhouse to send two better osmanthus trees over there."

"Alas! Sister Hua Fei is young and full of vigor. Please bear with me, Concubine Wan."

"Yes, my lady, I'll take note of it."

After saying this, Jianqiu was about to say goodbye when she heard a voice coming from above.

"Jianqiu, secretly inform Concubine Wan that I originally assigned her to Chengqian Palace, but it was Concubine Hua who arranged for her to be in Suiyuxuan. For the sake of the peace in the harem, I had no choice."

"Empress Shengming."

Hua Fei is arrogant and unreasonable, relying on the emperor's favor and never taking the empress seriously. Wan Changzai of Sui Yuxuan looks like the bitch who harmed the empress and the eldest prince. It would be best if these two fought and both suffered losses.

It's just a pity for her mother.

Before Jianqiu left, Jiang Fuhai came in to ask for a meeting.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Yonghe Palace that the head maid of Consort An has developed a high fever and has not been with the young lady for several days."

The Queen raised the corners of her mouth and drank a spoonful of sweet soup with great interest.

"Concubine Hua assists in managing the six palaces. Let her handle such trivial matters."

Concubine Hua, please don't let me down.

Suppress the newcomer who has not yet been favored, and see how she explains it to the emperor and the empress dowager.

Even if the emperor spared her, isn't there still the one in Shoukang Palace?

Only when the harem becomes chaotic can the emperor see her good side.

Within the morning, everyone in the harem received news that the Empress had a headache, so the daily greetings were suspended and each palace was asked to wait for further notice.

As soon as An Lingrong learned that the Queen had a headache, she became alert.

In the past, whenever the Empress suffered from a headache, there would be no peace in the harem.

She hurriedly called Bao Ge and Bao Li and asked if there was anything unusual in Yonghe Palace.

Baoge shook her head, but Baoli said hesitantly.

"My lady, I was delivering medicine to my brother in the dark last night. I saw Baojuan coming back from outside humming a song, so I casually asked, "She..."

"What's up with her?"

Baojuan is the Queen's person, An Lingrong hurriedly asked.

There were many open and covert struggles among the palace maids, and Baoli was afraid of polluting the young lady's ears.

But since the young lady wanted to know, of course she would tell her everything she knew.

"Baojuan said in a sarcastic tone that this servant was relying on your esteem and looked down on her. She also said that this servant was meddling in other people's business."

Based on An Lingrong's understanding of Baojuan, she should not be such an impulsive person.

On second thought, I had some idea.

This time she brought Bao Que and Bao Ge with her, one to take charge of the storehouse and the other to deal with foreign affairs. Bao Li, grateful for her saving her brother, had already surrendered.

In Baojuan's view, Baoli, who also came from the Imperial Household Department like her, was favored by An Lingrong, but she was the only one who spent all day embroidering purses.

Isn't it that he becomes impatient and eager to show off to the master behind him?

In fact, there was one thing that An Lingrong didn't expect, which was that the Queen had begun to be wary of her.

An Lingrong, who hadn't thought about this for the time being, recalled carefully, wondering if there was anything in Yonghe Palace worth Baojuan reporting.

After much thought, the only one who could do it was Baoque, who was recuperating in the room at her order.

"Baoli, I understand. Keep an eye on Baojuan. Baoge, I want to drink osmanthus honey. Go make a pot."

When the two saw that An Lingrong was still leisurely drinking tea, they knew that the young lady was just bored and asked casually.

The autumn sun was shining brightly, and An Lingrong was reading in the inner room. Bao Ge and Bao Li, seeing that they did not need to serve her, moved a stool and started embroidering purses under the eaves.

Of course, Baojuan, who had nothing to do, was also pulled over by the two of them.

When the sound of breaking porcelain was heard in the house, Baojuan, who was already full of resentment towards the embroidered purse, jumped up and rushed into the inner room.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Baojuan, I'm fine. I was just so engrossed in my reading that I accidentally knocked over the teacup."

"Miss, your hands are all burned red, how can you be okay?"

Baoge said with concern, leaving a word and running out.

"Baoli, I'm going to get the imperial physician. Please take good care of the young lady."

Baoli nodded, strode forward and pushed Baojuan aside.

"Baojuan, go get a basin of cold water."

Seeing An Lingrong's left hand covered in red, she comforted her with heartache.

"My lady, I once accidentally spilled hot water, and my mother soaked me in cold water, but I didn't get a scar afterwards."

What she didn't say was that the burns were extremely severe and blisters formed.

On the other hand, Concubine Hua also received news that An Changzai's personal maid in Yonghe Palace was seriously ill and unable to get up.

She picked up a large, red piece of watermelon with a silver fork and gave the order with a smile.

"Zhou Ninghai, the Emperor has asked me to assist in the management of the six palaces. Now that the Empress has had a headache, I must do my best to help."

"A maid in Yonghe Palace has fallen seriously ill. For the safety of all the sisters in the palace, I have no choice but to send her to the cold palace. Do you understand?"

Zhou Ninghai bowed and accepted the order, then led a group of eunuchs to march towards Yonghe Palace, showing the glory of Concubine Hua to everyone in the harem.

In order to intimidate the six palaces, Zhou Fu even took his men on a detour.

At this time, Wei Lin from the Imperial Hospital ran into Yonghe Palace breathlessly under Bao Ge's constant urging.

Wei Lin felt the burning pain beneath his official uniform and thought to himself, I wonder what this round-faced palace maid ate to grow up.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Hospital, he grabbed him who was studying medical books and ran out without saying a word.

If the palace maid had not been carrying his medicine box, she might have carried him on her back and rushed to Yonghe Palace.

Wei Lin imagined this scenario and shuddered with fear.
