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

The Queen looked at Concubine Hua in surprise. How come this brainless woman seemed to have become smart?

However, thinking that Zhen Huan was the person she wanted to win over, she immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Sister Hua Fei, I was summoned by the Empress Dowager two days ago. The Empress Dowager is hoping that the sisters in the harem will be happy soon."

"Sister, instead of staring at others all day, you should take good care of yourself and get pregnant with an heir as soon as possible."

Being childless has always been a sore spot for Concubine Hua. She was the one who slept with the emperor the most over the years, but except for the one time she got pregnant in the palace, there was no further pregnancy.

Concubine Hua, who had just been staring at Zhen Huan with jealousy, chuckled softly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Queen. I will definitely do as you wish."

She received a reply from home, saying that the famous doctor her brother had sent people to find was on his way to Beijing.

As long as you take good care of your body, the baby will come naturally.

Since Concubine Hua's troubles were blocked by the Queen, other people would naturally not be so tactless as to cause trouble for Concubine Wan.

An Lingrong, who was pregnant, walked slowly. Sitting in the pavilion to rest, she watched Zhen Huan slowly move forward with the support of Cui Jinxi and Liu Zhu, and gradually pass them.

Zhen Huan is really favored by the Emperor.

"Bao Que, Lady Wan is very happy. Let's go back early and prepare a gift."

Baoque packed up a few gifts that were not outstanding but not easily tampered with.

There is no osmanthus cake in the gift this time.

The deserted Sui Yuxuan suddenly became lively again after Zhen Huan slept with her.

At the end of the Shen period, the eunuchs from the Yangxin Palace came on the emperor's orders to pick up Concubine Wan to accompany him, and naturally she had to stay to sleep with him at night.

It is said that Lady Wan talked about tea and poetry with the emperor, and was highly praised by the emperor, and rewards were continuously sent to Suiyuxuan.

When An Lingrong exchanged for another fake pregnancy pill, Zhen Huan had already slept with him for seven consecutive days.

This time, there was no bathing in the Tangquan Palace, but she was still granted the grace of the "Pepper Room" in the Suiyuxuan, and the custom of "spreading the tent" was used to please Zhen Huan.

Hua Fei, who was guarding Yiku Palace alone, went to Yanqing Palace many times and called Shen Meiyu to her side every day to teach her.

Shen Meizhuang, who was busy studying palace affairs, looked even more haggard than Zhen Huan, who was accompanying the emperor.

Sure enough, not long after, news came that Shen Meizhuang had slipped and fallen into the Thousand Carp Pond.

"Your Majesty, Baoque was incompetent, and our people were unable to rescue Concubine Shen in time."

"This is not your fault. Concubine Hua has many capable people around her. They must have made arrangements before committing evil."

An Lingrong just wanted someone to take the opportunity to show some kindness to Shen Meiyu, so it didn't matter if she failed to save her.

She also had people monitor the movements in Xianfu Palace. If condolences from the empress and other high-ranking ladies were delivered, rewards from Yonghe Palace would also be sent over.

Only after the visitors left did Shen Meizhuang unable to hold back her tears.

"Huan'er, someone wants to harm me!"

Zhen Huan was also shocked when she heard this.

"Sister, did you see clearly who it was? If we get any evidence, we will report it directly to the Emperor."

"Huan'er, I didn't see clearly, it looked like a cripple. If there hadn't been a rock falling off the rockery, I would have..."

When Shen Meizhuang thought of the cold water constantly flowing into her throat, she couldn't help but tremble.

"Huan'er, it's Concubine Hua who wants to harm me! It must be her!"

Zhen Huan hugged Shen Meizhuang and analyzed the situation calmly.

"Sister, the Emperor has ordered you to learn about the affairs of the six palaces and help Concubine Hua."

"It's possible that Concubine Hua attacked my sister in a rage."

"Sister, Concubine Hua has deep roots. We must make long-term plans."

Shen Meizhuang also understood the principle that a centipede will persist even after death. If she wanted to take revenge, she must have enough evidence to bring down Concubine Hua.

But her one-sided statement is not convincing at all, and she may even be accused of making trouble out of nothing.

When An Lingrong learned that there had been no movement in Xianfu Palace and Suiyuxuan, she knew that Shen Meiyu had endured it under Zhen Huan's persuasion.

During the trip, the emperor came to Yonghe Palace to have a meal with An Lingrong, and then hurried to Suiyuxuan.

Not long after, Concubine Li was banished to the cold palace by the furious empress dowager, and the emperor never set foot in the Yiku Palace again.

The favored Zhen Huan suppressed everyone in the harem so much that they could not raise their heads.

Gyeongin Palace

"Jianqiu, have you arranged for the doctor that Nian Gengyao found from the folk?"

"Your Majesty, when our people went there, they saw Aunt Sun beside the Queen Mother. You can rest assured."

Even if Concubine Hua discovered the musk in Huanyixiang, it was too late.

"What about Suiyuxuan?"

"Your Majesty, musk and cold things are in progress. However, the emperor will stay in Suiyuxuan for a long time, so we dare not go too far."

"Yupin is almost five months old, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Last time, the emperor got angry with several palace maids in Yonghe Palace and ordered Su Peisheng to send a group of people, but their men have not found a chance to sneak in yet.

When paying respects that day, the Queen mentioned An Lingrong's name as usual.

"Princess Yu, how is your pregnancy these days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Both I and my unborn baby are doing well."

Concubine Qi stared at An Lingrong's belly with a bad look. She would never allow anyone to threaten the Third Prince's position.

When she got up early to serve the empress, she heard from outside that An Lingrong was very likely pregnant with a prince.

"Your belly is about to grow, and it would be inconvenient for you to come and pay your respects. I have obtained the emperor's consent and have ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you a new sedan chair so that you can travel."

The queen's magnanimity and virtue were envied by most people.

Concubines could travel in sedan chairs, while others below this rank could only walk to pay their respects.

"Thank you very much, Her Majesty, for the reward."

Baoque, who was standing behind her, felt very nervous.

Yonghe Palace is located diagonally to the side of Jingren Palace. The two palaces are not far apart. The Empress is borrowing...

As soon as she returned to Yonghe Palace, An Lingrong ordered people to put up the sedan chair that was given as a reward. In order to thank the emperor, she also asked Baoge to make a dish of osmanthus cake and send it to the Yangxin Palace.

When the osmanthus cake was delivered, Zhen Huan was accompanying the emperor inside.

The cunning Su Peisheng gave the opportunity to show up to his apprentice Xiao Xiazi.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu from Yonghe Palace sent some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to express her gratitude for the imperial sedan chair."

Zhen Huan, who was pouring tea for the emperor, paused, several thoughts flashed through her mind, and her hands kept moving.

"Send it in quickly."

He smiled and introduced himself to the person beside him.

"Huan'er, the osmanthus cake at Yonghe Palace is truly exceptional. Speaking of which, this osmanthus cake has a deep connection with you."

The emperor's words made Zhen Huan feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Could it be that Concubine Yu discovered something unusual about the osmanthus tree? Or...

No, she couldn't lose her composure.

Huanbi said that she had processed the musk in the cloth bag, and the small amount in the osmanthus tree soil should not hurt anyone.

Zhen Huan gently put down the teapot and massaged the emperor's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, when I first entered the palace, Concubine Yu and Sister Mei came to visit Suiyuxuan. When they saw the osmanthus tree, their eyes widened..."

"Princess Yu only has those few hobbies. She likes eating and drinking."

Six small pieces of osmanthus cake were placed on the table, and the emperor gave two pieces to Zhen Huan.

The osmanthus cake in Yonghe Palace is sweet but not greasy, which suits the emperor's appetite very well. He is thinking of going to Yonghe Palace for lunch again tomorrow.
