Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Xi Qiao's expression was slightly cold, with a mocking smile on his lips.

Pregnancy and childbirth? Promotion to the rank of imperial concubine?

Although the Empress Dowager wasn't as ruthless as the Empress, who immediately thought of abortion upon seeing a pregnant woman, once An Lingrong joined the Empress Dowager's ranks, unless pregnancy would benefit the Empress Dowager and the Wuya family, An Lingrong would have no chance of getting pregnant.

Once An Lingrong has an imperial heir, she will have the power to oppose the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager would not seek trouble or sow seeds of disaster for herself.

An Lingrong and her servant quickly returned to Yanxi Palace, retrieved the prepared gifts for moving, and then went to Chengqian Palace.

When they arrived, Yun Xinluo had already had the things she wanted to bring to the Fourth Prince's Southern Palace packed.

Upon seeing An Lingrong arrive, he immediately greeted her warmly, "Lingrong, you've finally arrived!"

In Yun Xinluo's mind, moving her child to another hospital was a big deal.

When her two daughters moved to a different hospital, she specially ordered a banquet to celebrate.

Although her current status prevents her from hosting lavish banquets, she can still spend a lot of money to hold a small feast at the South Third Prison for private enjoyment.

It wasn't that Yun Xinluo was being overly particular, but rather that she wanted to show the Fourth Prince how much she valued him.

An Lingrong stepped forward gently and gave Yun Xinlu a polite bow. "It is my fault for keeping you and the Fourth Prince waiting. It's just that after the greetings, I went to Shou Kang Palace with Sister Shen, which caused the delay."

When Yun Xinluo and the Fourth Prince heard that she had gone to Shou Kang Palace, their eyes flashed simultaneously.

Before Yun Xinluo could speak, the Fourth Prince immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully to An Lingrong, saying, "Hongli greets Your Highness An and thanks Your Highness for taking the time to come and celebrate with me."

An Lingrong helped him up personally, saying, "I am not worthy of such a greeting from the Fourth Prince. This is a housewarming gift for the Fourth Prince, a book bag that I embroidered myself. Please do not find it offensive."

Upon hearing the words "bookish," the Fourth Prince's smile faltered slightly.

It wasn't that I thought the gift was too meager, but rather that the book bag brought back extremely unpleasant memories.

Although the Emperor ordered him to move to the South Third Palace, he did not issue an edict for him to study in the Imperial Study.

He's eleven years old!

If I don't go to the Imperial Study to study now, when will I be able to get involved in politics and seize power?

The Fourth Prince was feeling down, but he still smiled brightly and kindly. "Thank you, Consort An. It is Consort An's skill that is so exquisite. The small screen on Mother's kang table was praised by Father Emperor. Hongli cherishes this book bag so much that he would not dislike it."

Upon hearing that the emperor had actually praised her embroidery, An Lingrong's smile immediately became more genuine. "If Fourth Prince likes it, I will make more for you in the future."

The Fourth Prince did not refuse: "Then Hongli will remember this. I will have to trouble Consort An in the future."

Yun Xinluo chuckled and gave the Fourth Prince a reproachful look, "You silly child, you've really troubled Consort An."

An Lingrong pulled her back, "Sister, don't say that. Lingrong likes the warmth when she's with you, and she also likes the Fourth Prince's liveliness and wit. Lingrong is genuinely happy to have more contact with you and the Fourth Prince."

Yun Xinluo, moved, grasped An Lingrong's hand in return, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. It's getting late, let's go to the South Third Palace first."

"it is good."

The three of them, accompanied by a line of palace maids and eunuchs, carrying their packed luggage, headed towards the South Third Palace.

On the way, Yun Xinluo sighed seemingly unintentionally, then turned to ask An Lingrong, "I entered the palace late and don't know many things. Lingrong, what do you think of the Third Prince? The Third Prince is still living in the Southern Third Palace. Hongli is still young and has only just returned to the palace. I'm worried that he won't be able to adapt."

An Lingrong frowned. "Sister, when I entered the palace, the Third Prince had already moved into the Southern Third Palace. The princes' daily greetings to the concubines were at different times, so so far, apart from seeing him twice at palace banquets, I have had no interaction with the Third Prince."

Yun Xinluo was not disappointed. Instead, she spoke up again with great interest: "I heard that the Third Prince has always been personally cared for by the Empress Dowager. Children's character is always most similar to that of their closest relatives. I've heard that you often visit Shou Kang Palace. I wonder if you could tell me a little about the Empress Dowager's deeds?"

The imperial harem is a difficult place, and Yun Xinluo also intends to find herself a powerful backer.

The Empress Dowager was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the Empress Dowager might not be willing to let her get close to her.

But it's okay, better safe than sorry. The more we learn, the more hope we might find.

An Lingrong's eyes narrowed, and she sneered inwardly. Yun Xinluo, that bitch, is really dreaming!

She looked troubled: "Sister, I have only recently started going to Shou Kang Palace, and I am not yet familiar with the Empress Dowager and the people of Shou Kang Palace."

So don't get your hands on me!

An Lingrong's eyes flickered: "However, if you really want to understand the Empress Dowager, you can try to get to Asiha, the head of the Imperial Kitchen. He is a junior member of the Empress Dowager's clan, and the Empress Dowager often summons him."

Hmph—go ahead, go ahead! Go and make your life miserable!

Consort Zhuang, a palace master bearing the mark of Shou Kang Palace, has to spend a lot of money to bribe officials just to get a meal that suits her taste. Yun Xinluo, a low-ranking concubine, dares to barge in and inquire about the Empress Dowager's affairs. It's no wonder that Asiha will rip her off badly!

Yun Xinluo, unaware of the trap, immediately brightened up and thanked An Lingrong with a smile.

"Thank you for informing me, sister. The Third Prince is indeed of noble status and is highly regarded by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The Fourth Prince is new here, and I'm afraid he might do something wrong that would displease the Third Prince."

She sighed and continued with a sense of inferiority and self-pity, "It's all because of my incompetence as your mother. We are both princes of the emperor, but it's one thing that the fourth prince's status is not as high as the third prince's, but I, as his mother, can't even get the emperor to favor and pay attention to the fourth prince. This is all I can do."

An Lingrong felt disgusted. Everyone knew what was going on between Yun Xinluo and the Fourth Prince.

"Sister, please don't say that. The Emperor has a deep affection for you. Sooner or later he will see how good the Fourth Prince is and will treat him with special favor."

The Fourth Prince quickly added, "Mother, please don't belittle yourself. In my heart, you are the best mother in the world. With you by my side, I am content."

Yun Xinluo looked comforted and touched, "With Hongli, Mother also feels very happy."

As they were talking, a group of people bumped into Xiao Yunzi, who was walking in a hurry, outside Jingren Palace.

As Zhen Huan's chief eunuch, Xiao Yunzi naturally recognized Yun Xinluo. Although he was in a hurry, he bowed very respectfully: "This servant greets Consort An and Consort Yun."
