The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Now that I have this child, I don’t expect anything else. I just hope she can grow up safely and healthily.

However, I know very well in my heart that the struggle in the harem never stops, and no one can avoid being involved in it.

If I want to protect my child, the emperor's favor alone is far from enough. What is really important is the power in my hands.

Only with sufficient power can I deter those with ill intentions from harming my children. Therefore, I must strive for more power to ensure the safety and future of my children.

The harem is about to hold a grand ceremony to confer titles on the six concubines. This is a perfect opportunity. If I can skillfully seize this opportunity and speak to the emperor, I will surely win his favor and trust, and I will receive even more help in the future.

Then, after a few days, many rumors gradually spread in the harem.

Because my family background was not prominent and I had just given birth to a princess, I was ridiculed and mocked by everyone.

These rumors grew more and more intense, but I didn't mind and chose to keep them to myself.

Finally, even the emperor heard the news and was very angry about the matter. He ordered a thorough investigation.

The Empress naturally agreed. I think this rumor was probably her idea. Her ultimate goal was to remind me of my origins and win me over to her side. Unfortunately, I am no longer the An Lingrong of the past.

I hated the Queen so much. I had been her pawn all my life and couldn't even have a child of my own. Not only that, she allowed Concubine Qi to give me drugs that damaged my voice and made it impossible for me to sing again.

In order to regain the emperor's favor, I took Xiji Pills to lose weight and practiced ice skating so hard that I fainted several times.

The Empress was a model of virtue and virtuousness, a model for the nation. However, she plotted to murder her own sister, Empress Chunyuan, bringing disaster upon both mother and child.

I was able to gradually confirm this from the Queen's expression and words when her auspicious dress was damaged on the day my sister was canonized as Concubine Wan.

The Empress has the protection of the Ulanara and Uya clans, and with the Empress Dowager still around, she can't be shaken in the slightest. However, she still has a long time to live in the palace, so there's no rush.

Since the Queen has such thoughts, I should also comply with her wishes. Then I told Baojuan to do something quietly.

My mother stayed in the palace for a few days before leaving. Now that I have safely given birth to the child, for her safety, I sent someone back to the Queen and escorted her out of the palace.

The child grew up day by day, and nothing happened.

On the day of the princess's full moon, the emperor came to see me and mentioned that my sister's promotion to imperial concubine had been put on hold.

"Now that you have given birth to a princess, I am going to promote you as well. How about promoting you to Noble Concubine Rong? And Concubine Hui, how about promoting her to Noble Concubine Hui?" The emperor suddenly spoke.

This... I was a little stunned.

I never thought that the emperor would promote me as well, but he is suspicious, so I can't agree immediately.

She immediately knelt down and refused, saying, "I thank the emperor for his kindness, but I dare not compare myself with my two sisters. Both of them have given birth to princes. I beg the emperor to revoke his order."

"Hurry up and get up. If I say you can bear it, then you must be able to bear it. Our child is naturally the best. Look at Wen Yi, how smart and cute she is. Concubine Duan has raised Wen Yi so well. In the future, our Roujia will surely be as well-behaved as you." The emperor looked at me lovingly and said.

"Speaking of this, I get angry. Recently, rumors have been circulating in the palace from somewhere, which is inappropriate." The emperor was a little angry when talking about the rumors a while ago.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Although it is a rumor, what everyone says is true. Why should Your Majesty be angry? I only ask to stay by Your Majesty's side." I began to comfort the emperor.

"Well, since they say you're not from a high family, I'll use your younger brother, An Jinchuan. Although he's young, he's incredibly knowledgeable, humble, and polite. I think highly of him, and he's sure to achieve great things in the future."

"As for the prince, that's even less of a matter. There are many children without mothers in this palace. I think the Fourth Prince is a good choice. His mother is of humble origin, a mere palace maid. Now is the perfect time. If I adopt the Fourth Prince under your name, no one will say anything."

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules..."

Before I could finish, the emperor interrupted me.

"Don't make excuses, this is settled."

"I thank you very much, Your Majesty, but there is one thing I would like you to consider."

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, now that you are promoting me and my two sisters, I would like to ask Your Majesty to give priority to Sister Duan Fei, so that I can feel at ease. Sister Duan Fei has lived in the palace for a long time and is both virtuous and virtuous. I can't even compare to her." I said cautiously.

The emperor nodded in understanding. After all, Concubine Duan was an old lady in the palace, and her presence was beneficial to everyone.

To get what you want, you must have a strong ally, and Concubine Duan is just the right person.

In addition, I also understand that although I have the emperor's favor, it does not mean that I can do whatever I want in the harem.

I need to be vigilant at all times to avoid being envied and framed by other concubines, and as an elder in the harem, Concubine Duan’s experience and wisdom can help me better deal with various challenges.

The Emperor understood my feelings well, and he consoled me, "I know you are kind-hearted and always considerate of others. But I will also treat every concubine fairly and will not let anyone suffer injustice. As for Concubine Duan, I will visit her in person, and if she needs anything, I will do my best to meet her needs."

I was filled with gratitude and quickly knelt to express my gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding my feelings. I will serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul."

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Peisheng, who was standing beside him. His eyes were cold and indifferent, and he gave an order in a stern tone: "Su Peisheng, you must go to Shoukang Palace immediately and convey my order to the Queen Mother. Also, remember to inform the Queen."

After receiving the order, Su Peisheng immediately nodded and quickly left the room.

When everyone heard the emperor's decision, they were all very surprised and shocked, but they could not change the fact and could only silently express their dissatisfaction and unhappiness in their own palaces.

After all, the emperor's decree has been issued, and no one, no matter how unhappy, dares to talk about the emperor in private.

But the Fourth Prince was very surprised when he heard the news.

He studied hard every day just to get the emperor to look at him more. Knowing that his biological mother was not of high birth, he acted patiently and kept a low profile in everything.

I just don’t know why the emperor suddenly sent him to live with Concubine Rong?

At this time, the Fourth Prince was of course completely puzzled.
