Concubine Hua drank one glass after another. She didn't drink often to maintain her health, but today, perhaps because she was in a high mood, she drank quite a lot.

She was a little tipsy, but her mind was clear. When she heard Nian Shishao's words, her smile became even more self-deprecating:

"Precious? It's just something that can be easily taken back, just a passing cloud..."

She understood everything clearly from the moment she took advantage of her power in the palace to openly punish the concubines she disliked and was punished by the emperor to grind ink for an hour.

The so-called power to assist in managing the six palaces in his hands only sounds impressive, but in reality it can be taken back at any time.

Faced with the words of Nian's mother, Concubine Hua felt a little relieved. After her admonition, her mother actually learned to be careful with her words.

Her expression eased slightly, and she moved closer to Nian's mother, put her arm around her sister, and smiled slightly:

"Look, I was drunk just now, and I was talking nonsense.

Mother, sister, you don't have to take what I just said to heart. I am living a good life now.

After all, the Emperor loves me the most among all the people in the harem."

She was like a drunk cat, rubbing against her closest relatives, her voice full of laziness.

Seeing Concubine Hua like this, Nian Shishao couldn't help but feel even more distressed.

However, my sister’s marriage had been a foregone conclusion many years ago and was no longer something that could be changed.

Palace maids helped to blanch the meat in the hot pot, and when it was cooked, they would pick it up and put it on the plates of the nobles.

Nian Shishao wanted to change the subject, so she looked at the plate, her peach-like face forced a smile, and said:

"Sister, try this venison. It looks fresh and must be delicious."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua took a bite and thought it was quite good. She nodded and said, "Shi Shao, eat it too. You don't have to worry about me."

Seeing that the heavy topic was passed over, Nian's mother was relieved. She felt sorry for her daughter and felt that she was not as unrestrained as before in the palace.

But there is no way, human nature changes rapidly, let alone an emperor.

Now Se-ran has received all the treatment she deserves, and the emperor's relationship with Se-ran is not much different from before on the surface. This is enough.

After all, the Nian family can't force the emperor to favor Concubine Hua more.

——Well, except for a certain brother.

After all, Nian Gengyao really did submit a memorial, suggesting that the emperor pay more attention to Hua Fei's actions.

The Empress Dowager also came out for this family dinner. In the past few months, the Emperor had been finding fault with her and confining her to house arrest, and she felt very suffocated in the palace.

The ban had been lifted for several days, and Concubine Qi happened to be holding a banquet. She thought it had been a while since she had joined in the fun, so she came too.

In view of the emperor's change of attitude, when the empress dowager came, she was still worried that the emperor would cause trouble for her at the banquet. With a nervous mood, the empress dowager stubbornly appeared at the banquet and sat below the emperor.

Fortunately, the worried thing did not happen. The emperor paid no attention to the empress dowager tonight. His attention was all on the food and the performance.

Yinzhen has been traveling through time for so long, dealing with memorials every day, planning things with his thirteenth brother, and having to visit his fourteenth brother from time to time.

He also took time to regularly favor his concubines and care about their physical and mental health. His daily schedule was very full.

There was something fun to attend today, so he relaxed completely and enjoyed the pleasant banquet time. He was too lazy to persecute the Queen Mother for fun. The Queen Mother's worries were completely unnecessary.

Moreover, his so-called persecution of the Queen Mother was nothing more than a joke done out of boredom, a childish trick like playing house.

It can't be said that she felt uncomfortable at all. If he was serious, the Queen Mother would not be able to worship Buddha so leisurely.

An Lingrong's position was only a maid, and her position was far away from the emperor, almost sitting at the very end.

Next to her was Zhen Changzai, and next to Zhen Changzai was Shen Guiren.

An Lingrong was not familiar with the two men. When they met, they nodded and saluted, and then there was no further communication.

Of course, today is a family dinner, and the concubine can communicate whenever she wants. Naturally, she is not in a hurry to communicate during the time when she can be with her family.

Long before, the emperor suggested that An Lingrong could completely take revenge on An Bihuai, and An Lingrong suddenly realized it.

She realized that she could actually give An Bihuai a taste of his own medicine and didn't have to endure in silence while he continued to humiliate her mother.

As a concubine, although she did not have much power, it was easy for her to take revenge on An Bihuai, the county magistrate of Songyang County, as she had the emperor's support behind her.

An Bihuai was drugged by An Lingrong and became blind. He was then beaten by people sent by An Lingrong until he could not take care of himself. Now he relies on the concubines that An Bihuai had kept for food, drink, and defecation.

Since he was deposed, his official position was naturally removed as well. Now he is just an ordinary person with no power, and almost all the money he had was taken away by the people sent by An Lingrong.

An Bihuai not only had no power but also no money. He was a pauper. An Lingrong's mother gave An Bihuai some money as a token of her gratitude, which was enough for them to survive and end their ill-fated relationship for many years.

Giving money is not repaying kindness with kindness, but rather wanting An Bihuai to live longer and suffer while he is alive.

Wouldn't it be a complete resolution if he simply died? It would be a good thing for him.

An's mother and Aunt Xiao were taken to live in the capital by An Lingrong.

An Bihuai had no money and no power. His concubines, who had been trying to please him by calling him "Master", were eager to leave him immediately, and their sons also wanted to stay away from him.

Where can this go?

An Lingrong naturally would not let go of the concubines who had bullied her as well, so she asked people to watch over them every day and keep An Bihuai to serve him.

Just wait until An Bihuai dies, and then give some poison to kill the concubines who bullied An Lingrong and their children.

Let them make love in secret.

An Lingrong told the emperor what she had done.

Her eyes were bright that day, but she was timid, because she was gambling.

She bet that the emperor would not blame her. If she lost the bet, she would lose her current favor.

Reason told her that she shouldn't tell the emperor, but her love for the emperor made her do something risky.

She likes the emperor too much.

She liked him so much that she didn't want to hide herself in front of him. She wanted to tell the emperor that she was such a vicious person.

I am so vicious, will you still indulge me? My beloved emperor...

Facts proved that her bet was right. The emperor did not blame her and even praised her for doing the right thing.

That’s right, when facing an enemy, you must retaliate physically and mentally. If you only retaliate verbally but still allow the other person to live a life of ease and comfort, then what’s the difference between that and not taking revenge at all?

An Lingrong smiled sweetly, and from then on she completely fell in love, allowing herself to sink wholeheartedly into her love for the emperor.

If Yinzhen had a strategy system, at that moment the system's strategy value for An Lingrong would be reported as: strategy value 1000%.

An Lingrong's love is simple, and it is within reach as long as you are willing to take the time to understand her.

Yinzhen's purpose was never to make her fall in love with him, it was just something he did conveniently, but it made her lose her heart.

An Lingrong's mother was named Lin Xiu, a typical Jiangnan woman with a gentle and graceful personality and a soft Wu dialect. She was also a beautiful woman with delicate appearance when she was young.
