The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

The children on the side may be tired from playing. An Lingrong's three little babies were drowsy, and Wen Yi was also a little bored, so the third prince stood up and said, "Father, my brothers and sisters are a little sleepy. Please allow them to go back first."

The wet nurses came forward and picked up the child, waiting for the emperor to speak. The emperor looked at Xiao Hongyun who nodded, and smiled and agreed to let the mother take the child back first.

Because of Concubine Nian's matter, Concubine Cao and An Lingrong, who had taken refuge with Concubine Nian, had to go and take a look. Although her fiery temper meant that it would probably be useless for them to go, they couldn't just not go.

Before going to Yiku Palace, An Lingrong quietly told Concubine Cao to send Princess Wen Yi back first to prevent Concubine Nian from getting angry and hurting the child.

When Concubine Cao heard this, she thought it made sense and quickly asked the wet nurse to take the child back to the palace and she would follow later.

When the two arrived at the Yikun Palace, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down. Concubine Cao, who was of a lower rank, knelt down and saluted: "Good luck to the queen."

An Lingrong was about to take action when she suddenly remembered that she was now a concubine with a title, while Nian Shilan was a concubine without a title. She still needed to perform the ritual when she saw her.

Calling her "Empress" would definitely not work, so after thinking it over for a while, she decided to keep quiet.

When Concubine Nian heard Concubine Cao's own voice, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said, "I have been stripped of my title and demoted to a concubine, my rank is lower than those two bitches, Concubine Qi and Concubine Duan." Then she looked at An Lingrong and said, "Your rank is higher than mine now."

An Lingrong was about to move, but then she remembered that it was wrong. Her position was higher than Nian Shilan's, so she could not call herself a concubine. After hesitating for a while, she spoke again: "I dare not. It was thanks to my sister's support that I am where I am today."

Nianpin turned her head to stare at the incense burner, then said, "Is the wine served by the emperor delicious? Is the singing and dancing of the lady from Yunguan good?"

"My queen, please calm down." "Sister, don't be angry, take care of yourself."

"Calm down, how dare I be angry? I only see the new people laughing, but I don't hear the old people crying. You are feasting and listening to songs on Qionghua Island, but I am suffering humiliation under the scorching sun."

An Lingrong didn't see Concubine Hua being humiliated, and she felt a little sorry. She was humiliated by Concubine Hua in her previous life, and she never saw Concubine Hua being humiliated again. Even though she knelt at the gate of the Yangxin Palace, she still had the demeanor of a general.

Concubine Cao said, "Your Majesty, that actor is just singing and dancing to win the emperor's favor. Your Majesty, don't worry about it."

"First it was Shen Meizhuang, then Zhen Huan, and now there's another girl named Yunguan. They are all so charming and seductive, confusing the emperor's heart. Why? Why does the emperor favor them?"

Concubine Cao lowered her head even lower. She was now extremely grateful that she had listened to An Lingrong's advice and sent Wen Yi back first, otherwise she would have been scared.

Nianpin looked at An Lingrong and Cao Qinmo and said, "You have a child. No matter what you do wrong, the emperor will take the child's mother into consideration. But what do you think of me? The emperor will favor me when he is happy, and throw me aside to be humiliated and trampled on when he is unhappy."

Then she said blankly: "My child, my child, if I had a child, he would cry and laugh, and the emperor would not ignore me."

Then she seemed to remember something: "Yes, I have a child, a fully formed male fetus. It's all Concubine Duan's fault, it's all that bitch's fault. I'm going to kill her."

Nianpin laughed and fell to the ground, saying in a daze: "How can I kill her? Now when I see her, I have to kneel down and greet her!"

Cao Qinmo looked at An Lingrong with a hint of pleading. An Lingrong hurried forward to help Nianpin up and said, "Sister, please stop worrying. Think carefully. What happened today is really strange. The emperor did not summon you in advance, and he would not ask you to go to Taiye Lake at the last minute. Someone must want you to join the game."

Nianpin was helped up by An Lingrong in a daze: "Sister is lucky that nothing happened because of the incident with Yunguan's daughter. Otherwise, sister would not be able to spend her time in Yikun Palace."

"Yes." Nianpin thought: "It was a young eunuch with an unfamiliar face who said that the emperor was holding a banquet at Taiye Lake and asked if I had time to go."

Then she suddenly realized: "It's Zhen Huan, it's the Queen." She cried out sadly: "She wants to harm me, they all want to harm me."

Everyone in the Yikun Palace was afraid to make a sound. An Lingrong bravely said, "It was the Queen. This banquet was prepared by the Queen. And the people who usually pass messages to my sister from the Emperor's side are Eunuch Su and Xiao Xiazi. How come a little eunuch with an unfamiliar face suddenly appeared out of nowhere?"

An Lingrong glanced at Concubine Cao who was kneeling on the ground, and said stiffly: "Sister, you'd better stop talking. If the emperor hears about this, I'm afraid he will blame you."

Concubine Nian wiped the tears from her face and sat on the couch. An Lingrong couldn't help but sigh, Nian Shilan is such a proud person that he even wipes his tears upwards.

"The emperor doesn't want to see me anymore, so why blame me?" Then she glanced at An Lingrong who was standing, and said, "Sit down. You are a concubine now, so don't worry about me."

An Lingrong opened her mouth but said nothing, so she had to sit down. After all, she was now a concubine, so it was natural for her to sit down, and there was no reason to thank her.

With An Lingrong as the concubine, Concubine Cao tried not to speak as much as possible. At the beginning, Concubine Nian even wanted to bring Wen Yi to her side, but fortunately she was rejected by the Empress. She didn't want to come this time, but she had to depend on her.

Concubine Cao did not speak to comfort Concubine Nian, and neither did An Lingrong. After all, the time was not yet ripe, and if she were to be comforted now, it would be detrimental to subsequent developments.

"Noble Lady Cao, you have been away for so long, Wen Yi may miss you, so go back first." After hearing An Lingrong's words, Noble Lady Cao hurriedly thanked her and took her leave. After all, An Lingrong was a concubine, and even if Concubine Nian blamed her later, she could say that she could not disobey Concubine Rou's orders.

An Lingrong asked Songzhi to bring a cup of tea to Nianpin, and then she talked to her for a few more words. An Lingrong estimated that if she waited for another month or so, it would be enough.
