And promised to be favored!

A song of "Lotus Picking Song" is like the green lotus leaves trembling and swaying in a lotus pond in summer, bringing coolness and relief from the heat.

The emperor loved her beautiful voice so much that he summoned her to sleep with him that night.

This time, An Lingrong did not tremble. Although she was shy but also bold when she received the favor, which gave Pangju a different experience. Of course, what was more important was that when An Lingrong sang, her voice was 80% similar to that of Queen Chunyuan, which made Pangju have an endless aftertaste.

So within two days, He Dan agreed and became He Changzai.

Zhen Huan was happy for her, but also felt a little sad.

Although Hongli felt that Concubine Wan would not lose her power in the short term, he still wanted to wait a little longer for the sake of safety. Of course, he did not just wait around, but also showed his face in front of Zhen Huan and called her Concubine Wan with admiration.

Seeing that he had lost his mother at such a young age, was not favored by the emperor, and was left in the cold in the Old Summer Palace, Zhen Huan felt very sorry for him. In order to comfort his longing for his father, she took him to see the emperor from a distance. She also told him to study hard, and as long as he worked hard, the emperor would not forget him.

It's a pity that Zhen Huan's motherly love was wasted on Hongli, the ambitious little tea egg.

The Queen, while feeling her own cleverness, was also filled with rage, wasting several pages of writing. After all, An Lingrong's favor was due to her effective training, but she had trained her to mimic her sister's voice.

She was happy because An Lingrong had divided the favor between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua, but she was also upset because An Lingrong had learned the favor from her sister.

This feeling is not pleasant either.

As for Concubine Hua, she was furious. Zhen Huan, how dare she!

"Shen Meizhuang left, and now comes An Lingrong. Zhen Huan, this bitch!"

A few days ago, Concubine Hua took Wen Yi away to compete for her favor. Concubine Cao was caught in a weak spot and had to do her best to help Concubine Hua solve her problems. She immediately came up with a harmful idea - while Zhen Huan went to see Concubine He, she sent people to invite the emperor and Concubine He separately.

She said she was bored in the summer and heard that the emperor was very happy and often sang songs, so she invited her to sing a song in the depths of the cave.

"The Emperor likes Concubine He, but he won't take her too seriously. He won't offend the Empress for a mere concubine.

The Empress asked Eunuch Zhou to personally invite He Changzai, and she dared not refuse to come. She explained that she wanted her to sing, and Concubine Wan was accompanying her, so it would be inappropriate for someone to come alone to sing at the Empress's place. Then, He Changzai would sing and Concubine Wan would play the flute to entertain her.

After Concubine Wan became favored, she could no longer hide the fact that she had an affair with the emperor in the Imperial Garden because of Xiao.

Two sisters came to power, one by playing the flute and the other by singing songs. It doesn't sound very good to tell others about it!

Concubine Hua also thought of this and smiled, but she quickly asked, "What if Zhen Huan doesn't want to accompany her good sister to entertain me?"

"If she doesn't come, isn't she afraid that He Changzai will turn against her? Your Majesty, don't forget that the reason Zhen Huan pushed He Changzai to compete for favor was because of Shen Yingying in the palace!"

Yes, as long as Shen Meizhuang is not cleared of her grievances, Zhen Huan will not give up on her and the concubines easily. However, when Shen Meizhuang was mentioned, Concubine Hua became irritated and shook her handkerchief, asking, "So many people have been released, but there is still no news about Liu Bin?"

Songzhi knelt down and replied, "Don't be angry, Madam Nian. Madam Nian sent a message this morning saying that she has a clue about Liu Bin. I believe it won't be long before we catch him."

"That's good. Let Zhou Ninghai come in."

Concubine Hua was impatient and didn't want to wait at all. She immediately ordered Zhou Ninghai to keep an eye on An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, and if they were spotted meeting, he was to send someone to invite the Emperor and An Lingrong over.

It was a coincidence that An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were talking to each other at that time.

So, that evening, Zhen Huan accompanied An Lingrong to the depths of the cave.

In front of the emperor, Concubine Hua first ordered a song that An Lingrong had never learned, ridiculed her, and then asked someone to reward An Lingrong with a glass of sweet wine. An Lingrong didn't want to drink it, as she was afraid that her throat would feel uncomfortable if she drank it.

Zhen Huan tried to help her out, but Concubine Hua refused to give in. The Emperor pretended not to see An Lingrong's pleading look, so An Lingrong had no choice but to obey.

To embarrass An Lingrong, Concubine Hua sent Zhen Huan a bamboo flute. "I heard that Concubine Wan was born in the Imperial Garden because of this. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to hear Concubine Wan play a tune?"

Not only was An Lingrong embarrassed, but even Zhen Huan couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that Concubine Hua was really going too far.

She then excused herself by saying that her flute playing was not good and she was afraid of polluting the Empress's ears. Fortunately, her piano skills were decent, and if the Emperor and the Empress did not mind, she was willing to play a piece of music to accompany him.

Hua Fei responded with good temper, and Pang Ju was a little surprised. When did Hua Fei become so easy to get rid of?

It was not until Zhen Huan sat down and began to tune the guqin that she discovered that two strings were loose.

It turned out that when Zhen Huan and the others came over, Liusu, who was holding the guqin, was bumped into by a little eunuch on the road. At that time, it was just an accident, but now it seems that it was planned by Concubine Hua in advance.

"Hmm? Why is Lady Wan just standing there in a daze?"

Song Zhi was standing behind Zhen Huan. Upon hearing this, she knelt down and replied for her, "Your Majesty, I see that Concubine Wan's zither strings seem to be loose!"

"The strings are loose? Isn't Concubine Wan a piano lover? How come she didn't even notice the strings were loose? Or did she not want to play for me at all, so she did it on purpose?"

Zhen Huan secretly resented her hypocritical behavior and could only kneel down to apologize, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do anything. I just happened to meet a clumsy eunuch on the road and bumped into the zither. My sister and I were busy coming to see the Emperor and Your Majesty, so we didn't take a closer look."

Fat Orange felt sorry for her, "Okay, since it's my fault, why bother to apologize? Get up first. Su Peisheng, go ask what the servant who made the mistake does, don't make me worry."

"Yes, slaves follow the order."

Seeing that the emperor was so protective of Zhen Huan, Concubine Hua felt sour again and rolled her eyes in agreement.

"Since the Emperor has said so, then Lady Wan, please get up. Your zither is broken, and I don't have any good ones for you to use. So, you should just play the flute. If the Emperor likes it, I won't dislike it either. Or is it that Lady Wan doesn't want to play?"

Now Pangju couldn't help them anymore, and Zhen Huan had no choice but to take over and play the flute.

When the two of them returned, Zhen Huan's cheeks were sore and An Lingrong's voice was hoarse, but only Concubine Hua was extremely happy.

Although Fat Ju felt sorry for his Huanhuan, he found Hua Fei's jealous look cute. He found it half funny and half enjoyed the concubines fighting for his favor.

Fortunately, Zhen Huan didn’t know what Si Lang was thinking, otherwise she would have vomited to death!

An Lingrong's voice became hoarse from singing, and naturally she could no longer accompany the emperor to sleep with him for a period of time, so Concubine Hua began to feel proud again.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would get a new favorite before he could enjoy it for two days!

The emperor fell in love with a female horse trainer in the Beast Garden, and he agreed to marry her and personally bestowed the title "Ning" on her.

The news spread throughout the garden like a tornado.

Zhen Huan felt mixed emotions. She had just come to terms with Ling Rong's favor, but she never expected that the emperor had a new favorite.

So, even if she hadn't created opportunities for Lingrong, would the emperor still fall in love with someone else?

Hua Fei was naturally angry. She had been married to the emperor for so many years and had always been favored by him, but the emperor had never remained chaste for her. Therefore, as long as the person the emperor liked was sensible and not as favored as her, she would try not to mind the existence of those women for the emperor's sake.

But then she heard that Ning Ying's demeanor was just as impressive as when she first entered the palace. How could she tolerate this?! What did the emperor think of Ning Ying? Her replacement? But her mother, Nian Shilan, was still alive!

When others heard that Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin were also there when the Emperor fell in love with Ning Daiming, they all came to their courtyards to inquire about the news.

It turned out that after lunch today, the emperor missed the Sixth Prince, so he went to Concubine Jing's Wuling Spring Scenery, but he didn't expect that both mother and son were not at home.

When the emperor asked what was going on, he learned that after lunch today, Concubine Xin came to talk to Concubine Jing and mentioned the new Chow Chow dogs that had arrived in the Beast Courtyard in recent days. They were said to be very cute and well-behaved. Concubine Jing was interested, so she took the Sixth Prince to choose a pet.

The emperor was in the mood, so he also went to the Beast Garden. When he passed by the horse training ground, he was attracted by Ning Ying who was riding a horse.

Not only does Ning Da Ying have a beautiful face, but what's rare is that she looks so energetic on horseback, just like the unrestrained Hua Fei when she first married into the palace.

Fat Orange was so thirsty from watching this that he immediately wanted to tame the person.

After the people changed their clothes and came to serve him, they were overjoyed when he opened his mouth and loved it very much.

When the empress heard that the emperor had found a horse trainer to serve as a substitute for Concubine Hua when she was young, she was gloating over it in Changchun Xianguan. But when Ning agreed to come and pay her respects the next day, Yixiu's face suddenly changed as soon as the voice came out.
