An Lingrong didn't want to win favor by relying on her beauty.

But now she likes the emperor.

When you like someone, you want to show your best self in front of him.

Therefore, she cared particularly about her image in front of Yinzhen.

Just like a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love, she doesn’t want to expose herself in front of her lover.

Chundie took a closer look, pretending to think deeply for a moment, then said with a smile:

"My lady is getting more and more beautiful. She is naturally beautiful. I'm sure the emperor will be moved when he sees her!"

The praise, the actions, expressions, and the time to think were all in place, not perfunctory at all.

An Lingrong blushed slightly at the compliment, but then she thought of something and her expression darkened again.

"There are so many beautiful women in the harem. I'm just the most inconspicuous one. The emperor is used to seeing beauties. He...as long as he doesn't despise me, that's all."

Chun Hu said softly:

"My dear, don't think so. The Emperor has always been very kind to you. He will only treat you sincerely if he truly loves you.

The Emperor definitely likes you, you have to believe in yourself."

The praise for the selection, and the time when she succeeded in the selection but failed to enter the palace.

The special care the emperor gave An Lingrong was one of the best times she had ever enjoyed in her life.

It was because of the care during that period that An Lingrong gradually came to believe that there was someone who really liked her.

Even if the other person likes many people, she is just one of them, and for her, that is enough.

After all, she never expected to receive unique love.

Not long after Su Peisheng left, a eunuch came to pick up An Lingrong.

After washing and incense, An Changzai was rolled up into a cicada pupa and sent to the dragon bed.

After completing the process and cleaning again.

An Lingrong leaned in the emperor's arms, feeling his heartbeat carefully. Her slender fingers gently held one of the emperor's arms. She looked up and saw the emperor's profile.

A simple hug prolongs the warmth after tenderness and can make people feel satisfied.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and saw An Changzai peeking at him, her eyes filled with his reflection.

Yinzhen lowered his head and pressed his lips to her forehead, smiling and asking, "What have you been doing these days?"

An Lingrong subconsciously touched the forehead that the emperor had gently kissed.

Listening to the emperor's gentle voice, her heart was filled with joy, and she whispered softly about her daily life in the past few days.

After sleeping with each other, they did not fall asleep immediately, but hugged each other and chatted for a while, whether it was about family matters or hobbies, it was just chatting.

This action made the sensitive An Lingrong feel warm in her heart, and she liked the emperor even more.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you." An Lingrong suddenly said.

Yinzhen: "Speak."

The concise words made An Lingrong feel less anxious about what was coming next:

"I would like to ask the Emperor to remove my father's official position and let him become an ordinary citizen..."

Life was so beautiful now, so beautiful that An Lingrong didn't want any possibility of it being ruined.

Some time ago, when Chunhu and Chundie were chatting with her, they mentioned that there were concubines in the harem who were dragged down by their fathers and brothers in the previous dynasty.

She felt uneasy and always felt that it was not a good thing for her father to be an official.

Although she is not favored enough now, she still has a lot of love.

If her father becomes arrogant and acts tyrannically, causing trouble for her...

Also, An Lingrong wanted to take advantage of removing her father's official position to control him and prevent him from treating her mother badly.

Although her mother wrote to her saying that her father didn't dare to do anything to her, An Lingrong was still afraid of accidents.

What if my mother only reports good news and not bad news...

Yinzhen asked, "Why do you say that suddenly?"

The two of them had few opportunities to be alone together, which resulted in An Lingrong liking the emperor but not knowing him well enough.

When An Lingrong heard the emperor ask this, she shuddered for a moment, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

But facing the emperor's gentle eyes, An Lingrong mustered up her courage and said:

"I would like to tell you about my past. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen?"

It was still some time before bedtime, so Yinzhen was not in a hurry to sleep.

He lay down, holding An Changzai in his arms, stroking her fair and delicate shoulders with his hands, and whispered:

"Whatever Lingrong wants to say, I will listen. There is no need to worry about anything."

An Lingrong was held in Yinzhen's arms, feeling very safe. She relaxed her spine, and because she was lying on her side, a small piece of cheek flesh was squeezed out by the pillow.

An Lingrong quietly adjusted her head, and the area that was squeezed felt much better. She told her story to the emperor in detail.

She told stories about her mother, her own childhood, her biased father and domineering concubine, and the half of her life she had been oppressed.

Of course, An Lingrong carefully concealed the fact that her mother embroidered something to bribe officials for her father to buy an official position...

After all, this matter is illegal, and the information about the previous dynasty's arrest of corrupt officials for illegal crimes has long been spread privately in the harem as gossip.

An Lingrong had naturally heard about it, but she had just realized how serious the matter was, so she didn't dare to mention it.

An Lingrong really regarded Yinzhen as someone she could trust and trusted him very much, so she was willing to tear open her shameful past and show it to him.

Perhaps because she had been keeping it in her heart for too long, she finally got the chance to talk. She said a lot in a soft voice, her voice was uniquely gentle and graceful, and quite pleasant to the ear.

.....It's like a sleep aid.

Yinzhen had to prop up one arm and drink some water to keep himself awake.

Yinzhen gave the palace maid a look, and the palace maid understood and handed over the cup belonging to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was thirsty after talking so much. She looked at the considerate emperor with gratitude, drank half a glass of water, and continued to tell the unfinished story.

After An Lingrong entered the palace, even if she was just a concubine, it was a suppression for her scumbag father.

Her scumbag father, who was once like a mountain pressing down on her head, was no more than a villain who could be manipulated once she gained power.

But obviously, An Lingrong didn't get it right.

She had limited thinking and only warned her father not to bully her mother again and warned the concubines not to make trouble.

He also gave money to his mother and Aunt Xiao, and did nothing else.

After he finished speaking, An Lingrong felt a lot more relaxed, as if the mountain that had been weighing on her heart for years had been lifted away.

Although Yinzhen already knew An Lingrong's past, he still listened very carefully.

An Lingrong was willing to talk to him out of trust, so he was naturally willing to be a qualified listener and give a response from time to time, such as "And then?", so that the other party could continue talking.

Seeing that An Lingrong seemed to have finished speaking, Yinzhen first said, "I feel sorry for you," and then sighed and said:

"An Bihuai treated you like this, and you just wanted to suspend him. My An Changzai is really too kind."

An Lingrong sensed something unusual from the Emperor, but she couldn't grasp its meaning and said bewilderedly:

"Your Majesty, what do you think I should do?"
