The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

"Your Majesty, Jianqiu, who is beside the Empress, came just now and said that the Empress invited Your Majesty to have dinner over." Su Peisheng said respectfully.

"Jianqiu has been here?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"I have indeed neglected the Queen recently and have not seen her for several days. Send someone to tell the Queen that I will be there to have dinner with her tonight."

"Well, I understand!" Su Peisheng turned around and asked Xiao Xiazi to inform the queen.

In the evening, the emperor indeed went to the queen's place for dinner. However, Su Peisheng didn't know why, when the emperor came out of the queen's palace, he originally wanted to go to Sui Yuxuan, but instead went to Concubine Hui's Cun Jutang.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Why did you come here suddenly?" Concubine Hui asked in surprise.

"I'm free today and wanted to come and see you and the child. Why, don't you welcome me?" the emperor said jokingly.

"How could it be? I am so happy that Your Majesty can come to Cunju Hall. Your Majesty, please come and sit down. Caiyue, go and bring the child over for Your Majesty to see."

Caiyue went there happily, and soon brought the Sixth Prince back.

As soon as the emperor saw it, he hurriedly took the child from Caiyue.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Sixth Prince seems to have gained weight and grown taller." The emperor looked at the Sixth Prince with eyes full of pity.

Su Peisheng, who was outside the room, was in a dilemma. He said to Xiao Xiazi, "The Emperor just turned over Noble Concubine Rong's card, went to the Queen's for dinner, and now comes to Noble Concubine Hui's place. It seems that he wants to stay overnight in Cunju Hall."

"Master, what about Concubine Rong? What should we do?" Xiao Xia Zi asked Su Peisheng in confusion.

"You ask me what to do? I'm such a fool, of course I should answer truthfully. What else can I do? You go there in person and explain it to Concubine Rong. I'm sure Her Majesty will understand." Su Peisheng said to Xiao Xia Zi.

"Yes, Master, I'll go right away." Xiao Xiazi nodded and hurried towards Suiyuxuan.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has called your name tonight. I believe he will be here soon. Your Majesty, please get ready quickly!" Baojuan urged me.

"It's okay, there's no need to prepare anything." I said lightly.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi, who is with the emperor, is here and said that the emperor will not come tonight." Baoque came in and told me.

"Oh, the emperor is very busy with government affairs, so it's normal for him to be delayed." I said lightly.

"Xiao Xia Zi said that the Empress invited the Emperor to have dinner, and then the Emperor suddenly changed his mind and went to Cunju Hall to visit Concubine Hui and the Sixth Prince." Baoque whispered to me.

"So that's how it is, I know!"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor turned over your name card tonight, so why did he go to Concubine Hui?" Baojuan asked in confusion.

"What the Queen wants is to create a rift between Sister Mei and me so that she can benefit from it. Since the Queen is so concerned, we certainly can't let her down."

I can see that the Queen's intention is to create dissension between us so that we will become dependent on her. If that's the case, why don't I do what the Queen wants?

After all, if I want to survive in this deep palace, I must rely on a strong backer. The Queen is undoubtedly the best choice at this moment. As long as I can gain her support, I will be able to gain a firm foothold in this palace.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It seems that this is a rare opportunity. I can use it to rely on the queen and get more evidence.

In fact, in my previous life, during my time with the Queen, I had already discovered clues that she was plotting to murder Queen Chunyuan. However, I didn't care about it at the time, and was only obsessed with competing with my sister. Now I think I shouldn't have done that.

At that time, I had already noticed the Queen's conspiracy, but I didn't care too much. I only wanted to compete with my sister for the Emperor's favor. Looking back now, I was too naive at the time.

Afterwards, I asked Baojuan to quietly release the news, expressing some dissatisfaction with the matter, and the Queen soon got the news.

For several days, the emperor went to one palace or another, and even visited my sister several times, but he never came to me. I knew that all this was the queen's intention.

"Then let's go meet the Queen!" I suddenly said to Baojuan beside me.

"I thought the love between these sisters was so deep, but it turns out to be just like this, Your Majesty. It seems that your method has been effective. I heard that An Lingrong has been very unhappy recently and often loses her temper at the maids around her." Jianqiu said happily.

"Human nature is like this, how can there be exceptions? Back then, my sister and I had such a deep relationship, yet we turned against each other because of the Emperor. If she hadn't entered the palace as a concubine and hadn't competed with me for the Emperor, then she and I could still be good sisters, and she would still be my good sister."

The Queen was talking to Jianqiu, feeling quite emotional.

At this moment, Huichun suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is here. She said she came to pay her respects to you. Do you want her to come in?"

"Oh? Concubine Rong is here so soon? This is beyond my expectation." The Queen was somewhat incredulous.

"Does the Queen want to see her now?" Jianqiu asked.

"Jianqiu, go out and tell her that I'm tired and resting. Tell her to be patient and come back another day to see me."

Upon hearing this, Jianqiu lowered her head slightly and replied, "Yes, Madam, I will convey your words to Concubine Rong word for word."

Looking at Jianqiu's departing back, the queen sighed softly, leaned back on the couch, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

She was fully aware of her responsibilities and dignity as Empress, and could not be easily influenced by others. Although Concubine Rong usually kept a low profile, if she continued to be favored by the Emperor, she would likely lose control and become even more powerful and difficult to control.

Now she deliberately avoided meeting Concubine Rong because she wanted her to understand some rules. This harem was her world at all times, and she also wanted to see if she was really as smart as the outside world said.

A moment later, Jianqiu returned, a look of confusion on her face. "Your Majesty, I have already informed Noble Concubine Rong as you instructed, but... Noble Concubine Rong didn't seem displeased. She simply said she came to pay her respects to Your Majesty and that since Your Majesty was resting, she would come back another day."

In an instant, a subtle but inquiring light flashed in the queen's eyes, as if she was looking at someone carefully. Her eyes revealed a thoughtful expression, as if she was trying to figure out the other person's deepest thoughts and intentions.

"Yeah... I understand. Let her be. She will come back."

Seeing this, Jianqiu nodded quickly and said no more.

"Your Majesty's decision will not be wrong," Jianqiu was very sure.
