The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of An Lingrong: Counterattack to Become the Queen Mother

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong sat opposite each other in the warm room and drank tea.

Zhen Huan opened her red lips and said, "Lingrong, this Ulanara has been granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort. She may seem submissive, but her eyes reveal a tenacity. I'm afraid she won't be content with peace in the future."

An Lingrong put down her teacup and nodded slightly. "Huan'er, you're absolutely right. Although Madam Rong is there to remind her to keep a low profile, the situation in the palace is unpredictable."

Concubine Hua came walking over and said, "Hmph! If she dares to have any evil intentions, I will not let her off easily, no matter what title she is, Imperial Noble Concubine."

At this time, Ulanara came with Madam Rong to pay her respects.

Ulanara bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Consort Dowager, your concubine and I have come to pay our respects to you all."

Zhen Huan smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite, Imperial Concubine. Has everything been going well in the palace lately?"

Ulanara replied softly, "Your Majesty, everything is fine. However, I am a new Imperial Noble Consort and still need to learn many things. I am afraid I may have missed something."

Rong Mama said respectfully, "Lao Foye, Empress Dowager, Consort Dowager, Your Majesty has been working hard day and night, hoping to relieve His Majesty's worries and bring more blessings to the harem."

An Lingrong examined them and said, "It is truly kind of the Imperial Concubine to have such a heart. Peace in this palace is not easy to come by, and it requires everyone's concerted efforts to maintain it."

Ulanara nodded and said, "The Empress Dowager's teachings will be remembered in my heart."

A few days later, a palace banquet was held in the palace.

Hongli sat in the upper seat, looked at the concubines, and said: "Today is the palace banquet. My beloved concubines, please don't be restrained. Come and share in this peaceful joy."

Empress Fucha said gently, "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. It is because of your good governance that the harem is peaceful."

After three rounds of drinks, a newly promoted maid stood up and performed a dance. After the dance, she said in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, I have heard many interesting stories among the people. I would like to share them with Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the concubines to entertain you."

Hongli smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Chang Zai would talk endlessly about folk anecdotes, and everyone was fascinated by his talk.

After the maid finished speaking, Concubine Hua said with a smile, "You little girl, you do know a lot of interesting things, but don't run around in this palace and break the rules."

Chang Zai hurriedly responded, "Your Highness the Concubine is right. I dare not."

At this time, the palace maid beside Ulanara accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the wine splashed onto the skirt of a noble lady next to her.

The nobleman's face suddenly changed: "You reckless maid, what's the matter with you!"

The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, my lord. I didn't mean to do that."

Ulanara scolded, "Why don't you apologize to the noble lady quickly? What did I teach you?"

Rong Mama also hurried forward and said, "Please calm down, my lord. I will take her down to receive her punishment right away."

Zhen Huan watched this scene and whispered to An Lingrong, "This may seem like a small matter, but it also shows that the people in this palace can cause trouble if they are not careful."

An Lingrong said, "Huan'er, that's indeed the case. We still need to pay more attention."

After the palace banquet ended, Ulanara returned to the palace and said to Madam Rong, "Madam, although this incident today did not lead to a major disaster, it has made me alert. There are eyes everywhere in this palace, and we must be more cautious."

Rong Mama said, "Your Majesty is right. I will always remind you not to let anyone catch me."

On the other side, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were also discussing.

Zhen Huan said, "While there wasn't anything wrong with what Ulanara did today, I wonder if there's something else going on with the palace maid."

An Lingrong pondered for a moment. "Huan'er, whether there's a hidden secret or not, it's always right for us to strengthen our defenses. We can arrange for some reliable people to keep an eye on the movements within the Ulanara family's palace."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua volunteered: "Leave this matter to me. I want to see what tricks she can come up with."

A few days later, Concubine Hua came to report: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, from what I have observed these past few days, the Ulanara family is quite well behaved. However, Madam Rong often secretly meets with some young eunuchs in the palace. I wonder what she is planning."

Zhen Huan frowned: "This Rong Mama, we must find out what she is doing. Don't let her stay in the palace.
