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

When it was one o'clock in the evening, there was no movement in the Jingshifang, and everyone in the harem knew that the emperor was busy with government affairs in the Yangxin Palace.

After hearing the news, Huanbi quietly found Liuzhu and asked in a low voice.

"Liu Zhu, I'm not feeling well and want to go to bed early. Please help me get the young lady to bed."

Considering that Huanbi had just had a high fever, Liuzhu agreed without hesitation and asked with concern.

"Huanbi, do you want me to tell the young lady to ask Doctor Wen to come and see you tomorrow?"

Huanbi waved her hands uncomfortably.

"I haven't slept well these past few days. Don't talk to me when you return to your room."

She returned to the small room under Liu Zhu's worried gaze, covering her pounding heart.

When she thought of her mother who had no one to worship her, Huanbi threw away all her hesitations.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the refreshed Huanbi avoided people and rushed to the Yangxin Palace.

Meanwhile, in the Yangxin Palace, the emperor, who had just strolled around the garden, was diligently reviewing memorials.

Although the Sixth Prince is small, he is of great importance.

The emperor moved his shoulders imperceptibly, and expressed his admiration for Concubine Shu's ability to take care of the child and raise the Sixth Prince well.

He was busy when Su Peisheng came to report.

"Your Majesty, Huanbi, a maid in Suiyuxuan, said that Concubine Wan had written a piece of calligraphy and sent it here for Your Majesty to see."

Since being scolded by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has not seen Concubine Wan for several days.

Upon hearing that the person he missed had sent someone to deliver something, he hurriedly gave instructions.

"Let someone come in quickly."

After Huanbi finished her ceremony, she took advantage of Su Peisheng being a few steps away, plucked up her courage and trotted forward to present the item in the brocade box.

Su Peisheng at the back silently retreated to the door.

This is another palace maid who overestimates her own abilities and wants to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

The emperor spread out the paper covered with words on the table. When he saw what was written, the expression in his eyes was hard to tell.

A scent of plum blossoms hit him, and he turned to look at Huanbi sitting beside the table.

"Why do you smell like plum blossoms?"

"Your Majesty, I applied plum blossom dew before leaving."

Huanbi responded shyly.

The emperor has seen countless people, how could he not see what she was thinking?

He glanced at the three words "Xiangfei Bamboo" on the paper and spoke casually.

"My shoulders are a little sore, come over and give me a massage."

"The slaves obey the order."

Su Peisheng quietly retreated outside.

The reason why he has been able to serve the emperor all these years is because of his good judgment.

The candle in the main seat of Suiyuxuan went out, and Liuzhu tiptoed back to the room.

She was still a little worried about Huanbi, so she gently moved to the bedside and wanted to touch her forehead.

But unexpectedly, what he felt on his hand was cotton cloth. Liu Zhu's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

"My lady, Huanbi is here at the beginning of the night... I was really worried about her... Who knew she had a pillow and winter clothes in her quilt..."

"Huanbi has no acquaintances in the palace. Where could she go? Please send someone to look for her."

As soon as Cui Jinxi heard this, she knew that what she was worried about had finally come true.

"My lady, there are quite a few palace maids at Suiyuxuan. Let's call them first to ask if they have seen Miss Huanbi."

Huanbi and the young lady have been friends since childhood, and she cannot easily express her thoughts without evidence.

Also, if Huanbi really went to the Yangxin Palace, why didn't Su Peisheng send someone to inform her?

Cui Jinxi stayed beside the young lady, watching Liu Zhu anxiously asking if anyone had seen Huanbi.

One of the younger palace maids whispered.

"My dear lady, I saw Sister Huanbi carrying a brocade box out of the side door at the beginning of the evening."

"She looks different."

The thoughtful Zhen Huan thought about how Huanbi had deliberately behaved in front of the emperor and asked.

"Bai Wei, what's the difference between Huanbi and Bai Wei?"

"My dear lady, I saw Sister Huanbi wearing a pink palace dress, and her hair seemed to be done differently than during the day."

Zhen Huan waved her hand irritably and asked everyone to leave.

"Aunt Jinxi, what do you think of Huanbi not being at Suiyuxuan?"

"My dear, I suspect Miss Huanbi will show up tomorrow. Please rest well."

The two people had the same idea, and Cui Jinxi knew that there would be a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

They have to conserve their energy.

Liu Zhu was always worried about Huanbi's safety and never thought about anything else. She fell asleep with deep doubts.

The next morning, when she learned from Xiao Yunzi that Huanbi had served in the emperor's bedchamber, she murmured in disbelief.

"Impossible! Huanbi would never betray the young lady."

Xiao Yunzi looked at Liu Zhu worriedly and said angrily.

"My lady, there's news from the Yangxin Palace: He Guan's daughter slept with you last night."

Only then did Liu Zhu have to believe that Huanbi had really betrayed her.

The servants who entered the mansion were given names by their masters, which meant new life. She had been with Huanbi for many years, so she naturally knew her deceased mother's surname.

"Miss, Huanbi..."

"Liu Zhu, you stay at Suiyuxuan. Aunt Jinxi and Xiao Yunzi will accompany me to pay my respects."

What needs to be faced must be faced eventually.

Most people in the harem were shocked by the news from the Yangxin Palace while they were dressing.

In order to consolidate her favor, Concubine Wan from Suiyuxuan actually presented her personal maid to the emperor.

An Lingrong didn't even have time to eat some snacks to fill her stomach, just to watch the fun.

The characters in the play had not arrived yet, and she didn't want to glare at the angry Concubine Hua opposite her, so she whispered to Concubine Jing beside her about the fashionable clothes and cosmetics in the capital.

As she caught a glimpse of Zhen Huan entering the room, Concubine Hua sitting opposite her suddenly sat up straight and spoke contemptuously.

"The Concubine Wan is quite capable. Not only does she monopolize the Emperor, she also pushes out her personal maid to secure his favor."

"In all these years, I have never seen such a shameless person."

On the way here, Zhen Huan had expected to be harassed, but she didn't expect Concubine Hua to say such harsh words.

Huanbi is not only from Suiyuxuan, but also her biological sister.

No matter what, even if she had to grit her teeth and swallow her blood, she had to bear the reputation of offering someone to secure her favor.

Zhen Huan bowed slightly to Concubine Hua.

"Reporting to Concubine Hua, it is a blessing for a woman like Heguan to be favored by the Emperor."

"Although the Heguan girl once served the concubines, as the emperor's women, it is only right that we live in harmony."

Concubine Hua didn't expect that Zhen Huan would imply that she was unfriendly to the emperor's women.

Just as he was about to push back, Jiang Fuhai's voice rang out.

"The Queen is here!"

"Your humble concubine pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen."

The pregnant queen gently asked everyone to excuse themselves.

"I believe all the sisters have already known that we have a new sister."

"Come, Miss He, greet all the sisters."

Huanbi had the lowest rank in the entire room. She greeted everyone one by one, starting with the queen.

Hua Fei, who was ranked second, naturally had a bad face and could not help but make some sarcastic remarks.

An Lingrong looked at Huanbi with tears in her eyes, politely accepted her gift, and gave her a silver hairpin that she had pulled out of her head.

Official girls were not considered the emperor's proper women and had no chance to receive rewards from the palaces.

She chose the most inconspicuous thing among the rewards, but as a government official, Huanbi could not wear it.
