Chapter 39 Daily Life of the Maids Around Concubine Fang 12

An Lingrong's slender fingers hanging at her side clenched the handkerchief, and her eyes showed vigilance. She didn't know why the palace maid in front of her would say such words to her. She even only knew that the palace maid was called Qu Lian, and she knew nothing else.

She didn't know Qu Lian, but Qu Lian seemed to know her very well. If she hadn't investigated secretly, how could she know so clearly?

She was just an unfavored concubine. She was sent back on her first night with the emperor and never had the chance to sleep with him again. Was there anything wrong with her that was worthy of Concubine Fang's investigation?

"It has been a natural law since ancient times for women to obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage. Even if I am favored, what else can I do besides scolding my father?"

While enjoying the flowers, An Lingrong saw that there were no one around, so she gave up and spoke with a bit of fear and confusion about the future.

When she was chosen at first, she was ecstatic, thinking that by entering the palace she could get rid of her father's influence and save her mother.

However, she was not up to the task. The first time she slept with the emperor, she was so ridiculously afraid that the emperor "returned the jade intact to Zhao" and she became the only laughing stock in the entire palace.

Later, her father was implicated and imprisoned. She had no other options but to crawl and beg for help from her sister Mei, with whom she was still on good terms.

Who knew that Sister Mei really didn't treat her as a sister or friend. She just said she would help her, but in fact she didn't help her at all. It was the Queen who helped her.

However, the Queen's help was also mixed with calculations. She just needed An Lingrong to be her pawn to help the Queen do things that were inconvenient to do.

Although Qu Lian was a pure ancient person before her death, her soul had experienced hundreds of years and lived to the technologically advanced modern era. She had seen all kinds of thoughts and no longer cared about the thoughts of slave women. She patiently persuaded An Lingrong:

"That's true, but if you were able to buy a strong slave to protect your mother, what would your father do?"

An Bihuai was just a county magistrate of Songyang County. Once An Lingrong gained favor, she would have plenty of ways to control An Bihuai.

Unfortunately, An Lingrong was a native of the Qing Dynasty and had no idea about resisting patriarchy. She spent half her life being betrayed and dragged down by An Bihuai, her entire family.

If An Bihuai's own corruption had not caused his entire family to be imprisoned and An Lingrong's mother to die in prison, An Lingrong would not have been so desperate that she had no hope of living and would not have eaten a bunch of bitter almonds and died in hatred.

After all, she had been a lifelong friend of An Lingrong. Even though An Lingrong in this life had nothing to do with her friend, Qu Lian couldn't bear to watch An Lingrong end up like the original drama.

Live well.

Such beautiful sunshine is worth An Lingrong seeing for a lifetime.

Qu Lian's words were like thunder, shaking An Lingrong's limited perspective. She pondered for a long time, and under Qu Lian's encouraging eyes, she slowly smiled. She saw something and asked tentatively,

"The reason why Concubine Fang was able to make a comeback is due to your efforts, right?"

She had asked people about Concubine Fang and understood that small people also had their own wisdom, which was different from the Queen's contempt. After interacting with Qu Lian for a while, she realized that Qu Lian was definitely not as simple as she seemed.

"My mistress said that Miss An can come and talk to her when she's free. Miss An, I'll be going back first. Please think about it carefully."

Qu Lian turned and walked towards Concubine Fang.

An Lingrong pursed her lips again and fell into deep thought.

She was promised that she could only have one palace maid and eunuch serving her. The young eunuch was not convenient to come to such occasions, so he was left in the Yanx Palace. At that time, the only person serving An Lingrong was Baojuan.

In the distance, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were talking and laughing while admiring the blooming peonies. An Lingrong took a look, then lowered her eyelashes again, her whole body exuding loneliness.

Baojuan was An Lingrong's confidant. She had heard everything that Qu Lian and An Lingrong had said. Seeing that the young lady was confused, Baojuan said:

"My lady, I think what Qu Lian said makes sense."

Baojuan had been in the harem for a few years earlier than An Lingrong, and most of the time, Baojuan told An Lingrong what she didn't understand.

Seeing that Baojuan seemed to understand something, An Lingrong hurriedly said, "Good Baojuan, go back to Yanxi Palace and analyze this with me in detail. I'm going to go enjoy the flowers now."

Interrupted by Qu Lian, An Lingrong almost forgot the most important thing of her day, but as soon as Qu Lian left, An Lingrong realized it belatedly and remembered it.

Baojuan was not quite sure what her master's plan was, and she did not ask much. Instead, she pondered over the unspoken words and prepared to analyze them with her master when she returned to the Yanx Palace.

Water flows to higher places and people tend to go to higher places. Even if Baojuan is just a palace maid, she still has to plan for her future. Now that the young lady is out of favor and her life is difficult, Baojuan as a palace maid has it even more difficult. Following the queen is not reliable, but following Concubine Fang, who is about to have a child, may bring her some benefits.

Songzi was a well-behaved cat, held by Jianqiu, and the Queen granted Concubine Fang's request.

Concubine Fang tried but found that she couldn't hold the baby, so she had to touch him instead.

She was interacting with Songzi to attract the attention of the Queen and others, while Qu Lian took the opportunity to talk to An Lingrong. The master and servant cooperated well.

When Qu Lian came back, Concubine Fang took advantage of Qu Lian's support and went to a nearby pavilion to sit down and rest.

Over there, Noble Lady Fucha and Zhen Huan were talking together. Since Zhen Huan was favored, Noble Lady Fucha always tried to put Zhen Huan down in gossip by using her pregnancy as an excuse, but Zhen Huan calmly blocked her out.

The Queen saw An Lingrong reappear in her sight, glanced at her, and silently urged her.

An Lingrong squeezed the spice bottle in her hand and was about to take action, but then she hesitated when she remembered Qu Lian's words.

Seeing that An Lingrong did not move for a long time, the Queen became anxious.

Just as she was about to say something, An Lingrong smiled at the Queen, put the spices back into her sleeve, and walked towards Zhen Huan.

Yixiu's heartbeat quickened as she followed, appearing to enjoy the flowers.

Jianqiu handed the cat to another palace maid and went to support the queen.

The palace maid holding the cat quickly followed.

Seeing the queen, Noblewoman Fucha and Zhen Huan took the initiative to strike up a conversation, praising the queen for being more beautiful than flowers.

Yixiu smiled and agreed to let Bingkua go back, but in fact she was secretly hoping that An Lingrong would take action quickly.

But An Lingrong did not take any action until the flower viewing banquet was over.

Yixiu almost broke her white teeth.

The game she had worked so hard to set up was just one step away from success, but something went wrong with the chess piece.

After the flower viewing banquet, Yixiu called An Lingrong over and threatened her in a threatening tone during the chat, saying that she had to be obedient if she wanted to gain favor.

An Lingrong agreed obediently, but turned around and went to Xianfu Palace to see Sister Mei on the pretext of looking for Sister Mei to play with. Then, under Sister Mei's guidance, she went to the west side hall to look for Concubine Fang.

——She wanted to find a new way out for herself.
