Originally, An Lingrong didn't know what it meant when the housekeeper said that she could bring two maids into the palace. It was not until the eunuch came over at night and said that she had been promoted to the position of Changzai that An Lingrong suddenly realized that she could be promoted to Changzai as soon as she entered the palace.

She knew that the emperor was good to her, but she didn't expect him to be so good to her. Although the position of a concubine might not be high, as an ordinary lady from a humble family, she could be promoted to a concubine the first time she entered the palace. This was something she had never dared to imagine. She thought that getting a position of a concubine would be the best result.

The first thing An Lingrong thought of was the benefits of being a concubine, and she was moved. She wanted to choke up several times, but she held it back. She tried her best to express her gratitude with a normal expression.

When getting up, Chun Hu held An Lingrong's arm, and Chun Die took the initiative to take out a purse and give it to the eunuch who came to convey the imperial decree. The eunuch quickly bowed to express his gratitude and said a lot of nice words, then left with his back bent.

After everyone left, An Lingrong said to Chundie, "Chundie, thank you for your reward, but now..."

Is she unwilling to do the social etiquette of rewarding others?

not necessarily.

It was because she really didn't have the ability to give rewards, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared to be so stingy in the original plot. Didn't she also want to reward Su Peisheng with golden melon seeds like Shen Meizhuang?

But she herself had a hard time making a living, her unscrupulous father refused to give her money, and she had nothing, otherwise she wouldn't be so stingy.

Chundie said, "My lady, to be honest, I was sent by the Emperor to serve you, so naturally I must do my best. You don't have to thank me, this is what I should do."

An Lingrong was stunned and thought for a while, then vaguely understood Chundie's meaning. Everything she did was naturally instructed by the emperor, even her help and reward was instructed by the emperor.

The emperor seemed to understand her situation very well and even considered this matter for her.

An Lingrong had no idea that the emperor's soul had been replaced by a new person. She just thought that the emperor was worthy of being the Son of Heaven, and that she, a mere daughter of a county magistrate, could understand everything.

Not only does he understand her, but he also takes her difficulties into consideration from all aspects and helps her solve her problems.

An Lingrong was deeply moved for the umpteenth time today. She clutched her handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes once again. She asked, "Your Majesty...did he say anything else?"

She had some hope, although she didn't know what she was expecting.

Chundie and Chunhu looked at each other, both of them a little embarrassed. It was obvious that the young lady was looking forward to what the emperor would say, but in fact the emperor only simply instructed them to remember to help reward the eunuch before the young lady entered the palace, and did not say anything else.

But seeing the young lady's expectant look, Chunhu and Chundie couldn't bear to spoil her fun.

Chundie said carefully, "The Emperor said... that the servants should serve the young lady well and not cause her any trouble."

Although the emperor did not say any specific words, his overall meaning was to ask them to serve An Lingrong well, so there is nothing wrong with saying so.

At this moment, An Lingrong was like a girl who fell in love for the first time, with a slightly flushed cheek. She was very happy to be comforted by these words. She was still inferior, but at the same time, she also vaguely felt that she seemed to have been loved.

Even if this love is weak, it is enough to make her happy.

Think about the people selected in today's selection, who else except her can get such special care? It is the care given to her by the best man in the world. It is also because An Lingrong has an inferiority complex. If it were someone like Xia Dongchun, as soon as the emperor praised her name during the selection, her tail would be up to the sky and she would directly regard herself as the favorite concubine.

The following learning rules were very boring.

But An Lingrong studied very hard. Fang Ruo knew that An Lingrong was valued by the emperor. She originally thought that if she couldn't learn well, she would teach her patiently. Unexpectedly, An Lingrong studied very hard and well. Fang Ruo was really relieved.

Who doesn’t like students who study well?

Even if it's just a student for a while.

An Lingrong was living a peaceful life, but among the same group of concubines, there was one who was not doing so well in her studies, and that was Xia Dongchun.

Yinzhen naturally had a good impression of Xia Dongchun, but Xia Dongchun was different from An Lingrong. Xia Dongchun was spoiled since childhood, with a lively personality, stupid and arrogant. She was a low-end version of Concubine Hua, with the arrogance of Concubine Hua but not her family background.

She even dared to openly provoke Concubine Hua and curry favor with the Queen, thinking that she could thereby join the Queen's camp and rise to higher positions, thus deeply offending Concubine Hua.

Unexpectedly, her provocation was successful, but she did not get the Queen's approval. The Queen even felt it was unlucky to talk to her.

As a result, Xia Dongchun was caught in a dilemma and offended both sides, and ended up being beaten to death with a stick.

Yinzhen knew that Xia Dongchun was the type of person who would dare to open a dyeing workshop if given a little color, so he did not show any special care to her during the selection. He simply told her to keep the brand and said nothing else.

But since he dared to keep Xia Dongchun, he would naturally save her life. In order to prevent Xia Dongchun from being killed as soon as she entered the palace, Yinzhen specially sent another palace maid to teach Xia Dongchun.

As for whether she was worried that her little actions would attract the attention of the Queen and Concubine Hua.

Yinzhen was not worried.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the person with the most concentrated imperial power, if he still has to live his life according to the wishes of his concubines and the queen, he might as well just kill himself and continue to reincarnate.

Xia Dongchun has been bad at everything she learns since she was a child. She is terrible at needlework, which is something that ordinary women can do, and her reading and writing skills are also a mess.

Asking her to learn palace rules now is like asking for her life.

But you have to learn!

Xia Dongchun really wanted to quit.

However, the palace maid sent to teach was a palace maid in front of the emperor. Although she was not a head palace maid like Fangruo, she was also a first-class palace maid. With the blessing of her identity as a palace maid serving in front of the emperor, Xia Dongchun was most respectful to the emperor and dared not act recklessly.

But she just felt it was difficult. After practicing for the 30th time, Xia Dongchun said with a sad face: "Fangzhi, can I stop learning?"

Fang Zhi was relieved to see that although Xia Dongchun was stupid, she did not make a fuss and refuse to learn. She was sent by the emperor himself, and she knew she could not and dared not disobey the emperor's orders, so she taught Xia Dongchun very seriously.

Fang Zhi said with a stern face, "Please study hard, my lady. The palace rules are very strict. If you can't learn them, you will be punished if you don't behave properly when you meet the Empress in the harem. I hope that for your future, you will learn all the etiquette as soon as possible."

When Xia Dongchun heard that he would be punished, he put on a sad face, endured the pain in his hands and feet, and continued to study hard.

After all, it was the title of imperial maid that intimidated her.

Firstly, she was really afraid that the emperor would be angry, and secondly, she was proud that she was taught personally by the imperial maid. You know, among the same group of concubines, as far as she knew, there was only one person who had such an honor, An Lingrong!

Although Xia Dongchun was very angry that An Lingrong was also favored by the emperor, it did not prevent her from being happy that she could also get the emperor's attention.

In order not to disappoint the emperor's trust, she studies hard!
