I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

In the spring morning, the queen's grace spreads throughout the six palaces.

An Lingrong pardoned Zhen Huan and freed her from house arrest, and all the lower-ranking concubines were promoted one level.

When the news came out, the harem was shocked.

In the Suiyu Pavilion, the long-lost sunlight shines through the mottled window lattices, casting swaying light and shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with a faint smell of dust, mixed with a few traces of long-dormant sandalwood scent.

Zhen Huan sat alone in front of the window, her fingertips gently stroking the cold window frame, her eyes empty, like a jade sculpture.

The huge gap between her former glory and current desolation was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting her heart.

The palace maid Liu Zhu walked into the room cautiously and bowed:

"My lady, the Empress has decreed that your house arrest be lifted and you be promoted to a concubine."

Liu Zhu's voice trembled slightly, showing both joy and worry.

Zhen Huan's eyes moved slightly, and a ripple crossed the calm lake surface.

"Queen..."

She murmured to herself in an inaudible voice.

The floodgates of memory suddenly opened, and the past came flooding back like a tide.

The former sisters now hold high positions, while she is confined to the Shattered Jade Pavilion and suffers humiliation.

The trick of fate made her feel mixed emotions.

"My lady, you should change your clothes."

Liu Zhu reminded softly and placed a new set of regular clothes on the table.

The goose yellow fabric, embroidered with delicate hibiscus flowers, sparkled in the sunlight.

Zhen Huan slowly stood up, her eyes falling on the gorgeous clothes with a complicated expression.

This dress represents a new beginning and also represents endless challenges.

The first greeting after the queen's coronation ceremony was particularly grand.

At dawn, the rays of the rising sun fill the Forbidden City, and the golden glazed tiles sparkle in the sun.

The concubines in each palace dressed up and entered the Yongshou Palace where the queen was located in order of their rank.

The air was filled with the strong scent of powder, mixed with a hint of sandalwood, which made people feel a little depressed.

In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, An Lingrong sat upright on the phoenix throne, wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head, looking graceful and elegant.

Her eyes were calm as she scanned the concubines of His Highness, and her every gesture revealed the majesty of a queen.

The concubines bowed to the queen in turn, speaking auspicious words of congratulation.

"I, your concubine, congratulate Her Majesty the Queen on her good health."

"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The sounds rose and fell, echoing in the hall.

Zhen Huan stood at the end, looking at An Lingrong at the top, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Once upon a time, they entered the palace together and experienced the intrigues and deceptions in the harem together.

Now, An Lingrong is the mother of the country, but she can only stand in the most inconspicuous position.

This huge gap filled her heart with resentment and resentment.

She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she felt no pain at all.

why?

Why isn't she sitting in that seat?

She is more beautiful and talented than An Lingrong, and knows how to please the emperor better.

However, fate played a huge joke on her.

An Lingrong's gaze swept over Zhen Huan, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.

She knew what Zhen Huan was thinking and also knew the resentment in her heart.

However, she would not give Zhen Huan any chance.

"Sisters, please don't be polite."

An Lingrong's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The concubines stood up and took their seats in order of rank.

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the sound of palace maids quietly serving tea.

An Lingrong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down.

"This is my first time as Queen, and I have many things to do. I will need your help in the future."

She looked around, her eyes falling on the faces of each concubine.

"I hope that the harem will be harmonious, that the sisters will respect and love each other, and that they will serve the Emperor together."

The concubines responded one after another, saying that they would follow the Queen's instructions.

After paying their respects, the concubines left one after another.

Zhen Huan walked at the end, her steps heavy, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness.

Inside Yongshou Palace, the air is filled with the aroma of sandalwood, which is soothing and calming.

The sunlight shines through the window lattices, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

An Lingrong leaned against the soft couch, her slender fingers gently stroking the teacup in her hand, her eyes drifting out the window, her mind full of thoughts.

Doctor Xu stood aside with his head bowed, quietly waiting for the Queen's instructions.

"Doctor Xu," An Lingrong put down her teacup, her voice clear and pleasant, "I have an idea in mind, but I'm not sure whether I should share it or not."

Doctor Xu quickly responded, "Your Majesty, please feel free to speak. I am all ears."

An Lingrong took a deep breath and said slowly, "I want to compile a medical book, gathering the essence of medical classics from past dynasties and adding some folk remedies and prescriptions. This way, it will benefit the people of the world and allow everyone to learn medicine, no longer restricted by the master-disciple tradition."

She paused and looked at Doctor Xu with burning eyes, "Doctor Xu, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu was shocked, and then he was filled with admiration.

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty is wise! This action is of immeasurable merit. If it succeeds, your name will surely go down in history!"

The corners of An Lingrong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

"Doctor Xu, this matter is of no small importance. We must proceed with caution."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance. "I want to hand over the full responsibility of this matter to you. Are you willing?"

Doctor Xu was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He kowtowed again and said, "I will do my best to live up to your high expectations!"

An Lingrong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and sat back on the couch.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Doctor Xu then."

She picked up the teacup, took a sip, her eyes full of anticipation.

"There is one thing I don't understand, please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Doctor Xu asked cautiously.

"speak."

"Your Majesty, compiling this medical book is a time-consuming and time-consuming undertaking, requiring enormous manpower and resources. How will Your Majesty arrange this?"

An Lingrong put down her teacup, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have already considered this matter thoroughly and reported it to the Emperor."

A gleam of brilliance flashed in her eyes. "In terms of manpower, we can draw personnel from the Imperial Hospital and recruit some experienced doctors from the public. In terms of material resources, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will allocate funds to ensure that all necessary supplies are sufficient."

After hearing this, Doctor Xu secretly admired the Queen's thoughtful consideration.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

An Lingrong smiled slightly and continued, "In addition, I also plan to set up a special agency to be responsible for the compilation, proofreading, and printing of medical books."

Her eyes were bright and her tone was firm, "This institution is called the Imperial Medical Bureau."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu admired the Queen's foresight even more.

"Your Majesty has great foresight, and I admire you deeply!"

An Lingrong waved her hand, signaling him to stand up.

"Doctor Xu, this matter is of great importance. You must do your best and not slack off in the slightest."

"Your humble servant will obey the Empress's order!" Imperial Physician Xu kowtowed again with a firm tone.

An Lingrong looked at Doctor Xu's departing back, her heart filled with hope.

She believed that the birth of this medical book would definitely change the current medical situation in the Qing Dynasty and benefit all people.
