An Lingrong followed the eunuch who led the way to the place where she lived in her previous life. The difference from her previous life was that this time the bedroom had been specially renovated and looked much better than in her previous life.

Moreover, in this life, there were palace servants waiting to greet him outside the palace, which was something that never happened in his previous life.

An Lingrong nodded, and then Bao Lu took out a bag of silver and gave it to the eunuch who led the way. The eunuch weighed the amount of the silver in his hand and left with satisfaction.

"I am here to pay my respects to An Changzai, may An Changzai be blessed with good fortune."

An Lingrong nodded and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Mrs.

"Go in first."

"Yes."

An Lingrong was about to walk into the palace when suddenly a domineering voice came from behind her.

"You can enter the palace too?" Oh, here she comes again. She forgot about her, An Lingrong thought helplessly. Then she turned around and looked at Xia Dongchun who was coming over and bowed. She thought that although she didn't want to pay attention to her, she was in the palace after all, and etiquette could not be abolished so as not to let others catch her.

Because Xia Dongchun had given the cold shoulder to her aunt, and because of Concubine Hua's order, Xia Dongchun didn't know that An Lingrong was performing the equal bow. She thought that An Lingrong was bowing to her because her rank was lower than hers, and she was quite proud of it.

"Hmph, looking at you like this, I'm afraid you've agreed. How did you learn the rules? You don't even know how to say hello, hmph."

An Lingrong couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, idiot. Baojuan on the side said: "Our young mistress is An Changzai, and what we just did was the Ping etiquette."

Xia Dongchun was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Although she was stupid, she was still the daughter of a wealthy family. She knew that she had made a fool of herself, so she snorted and turned away.

An Lingrong ignored her and asked them to say their names after entering the hall.

"My lady, my name is Baojuan, this is Baoque, and these are Xiaoshengzi and Xiaolezi." Baojuan actively introduced them to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong looked at Baojuan and thought that the Queen had indeed set a trap for her again. Fortunately, this time she brought Baolu and Baoyu. Baojuan was a person that could not be kept, so she found a chance to get rid of her. As for Baoque, he was beaten to death in his previous life because of her own reasons. Anyway, she didn't think Baoque had any ulterior motives before he died.

Anyway, from now on, the ones around me are mainly Bao Que and Bao Yu, and secondly Bao Que. This life is different after all, and I have two little eunuchs.

An Lingrong looked at them, turned around and nodded to Bao He, who gave each of the four a purse. Everyone thanked An Lingrong for the reward. An Lingrong looked at them and gave them a few instructions. Everyone knelt down and expressed their loyalty to the young master.

"From now on, Baoyu and Baoyu will serve me mainly. Baoque and Baojuan, you two will serve outside the palace first."

"Yes, I understand." Baojuan thought that she would have the opportunity to serve An Lingrong in the future, so there was no need to rush.

After An Lingrong had packed up, she went to pay her respects to Noble Lady Fucha, taking with her the incense she liked, which she had specially prepared for her based on her memories of her past life before entering the palace.

Although there is no main seat in the Yanxi Palace now, Noble Lady Fucha has the highest status and should go to pay respects. In addition, the Fucha family is a big Manchu family. If Noble Lady Fucha is happy, she might reward herself with something.

At that time, she felt it was not appropriate to reward Aunt Fangruo directly with money, so she only embroidered a purse and a sachet. However, Aunt Fangruo did not use money to reward her. Excluding the money for buying medicine and spices and rewarding her palace maids, she now had only twenty taels left, which she urgently needed to replenish.

An Lingrong brought Baoyu to the gate of Fucha Guiren Palace and explained her purpose to Sang'er who was at the gate. After a while, Sang'er invited An Lingrong and the others in.

After An Lingrong came in, she bowed to Noble Lady Fucha according to the rules, and then asked Baoyu to take out the incense she mixed. "This is the incense that Lingrong mixed herself. Lingrong was born in a humble family and does not have any valuable things. I hope Noble Lady Fucha will not despise it."

Noble Lady Fucha nodded. After taking the spices, Sang'er did not give them directly to Noble Lady Fucha, but gave them to another maid. After the maid smelled them and nodded, Sang'er gave them to Noble Lady Fucha.

As expected of the Fucha clan, a prominent Manchu family. It seemed that the maid was someone who knew medicine, arranged by the family. Maids who knew medicine were very rare, and Baoyu beside him was saved by luck, otherwise he would not be able to find a maid who knew medicine.

However, Noble Lady Fucha actually dared to show her in front of her which maidservant knew medical skills. Perhaps the family arranged for someone to be particularly loyal and not afraid of being bribed.

No wonder in her previous life the Queen could only use scent to train the cat to cause Noble Lady Fucha to have a miscarriage, instead of directly rewarding Noble Lady Qi with an item containing musk. It was probably because of this maid.

After taking the incense, Noble Lady Fucha opened the box and sniffed it gently, with a glimmer of surprise in her eyes. "An Changzai is so thoughtful. I like it very much. Sang'er, go and give An Changzai the box of jewelry on my dressing table."

"Thank you, Noble Fucha. I'm glad you like it." An Lingrong quickly bowed to express her gratitude, and was looking forward to what kind of jewelry Noble Fucha would give her.

"It can be seen that An Changzai knows etiquette, unlike that Xia, huh, stupid." It can be seen that after spending these few days together, Fu Cha Guiren is very dissatisfied with Xia. However, as a Han army flag, Xia was able to enter the palace together with the Mongolian and Manchu army flags.

As expected, Xia Shi is worthy of being a person with both family background and wisdom.

She chatted with Noble Lady Fucha for a few more sentences. After all, she was reborn, and An Lingrong also knew what Noble Lady Fucha liked to hear and what she liked.

After a few words, she coaxed Noble Lady Fucha to give her two hairpins. "It's getting late, I'll take my leave first." Noble Lady Fucha looked at the time and nodded, then An Lingrong stood up and bowed to take her leave.

As soon as Baoyu, who was guarding in the room, saw An Lingrong and Baoyu coming out from Noble Lady Fucha, he quickly picked up a stack of papers and ran over.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall." An Lingrong said hurriedly.

"Hey, young lady, your servant has prepared the snacks and spices you requested."

An Lingrong nodded, turned to Baoyu and said, "Take the things that Noble Lady Fucha gave you back first, and then send the snacks and spices to Sister Wan and Sister Mei. Baoyu, you and I will take these copied Buddhist scriptures to send to the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

An Lingrong arrived at Shoukang Palace and explained her purpose to the eunuch at the door and then stuffed ten taels of silver into the eunuch's hand. The eunuch took the silver and went in with a smile to report. After a while, Aunt Zhuxi, who was beside the empress dowager, came out.

An Lingrong hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello, aunt. Why do I need you to come out in person to greet me? I am really troubling you."

"Oh, it's okay. May I ask where Concubine An is today?" Aunt Zhuxi naturally remembered An Lingrong and spoke in a more friendly manner.

"I know that I am of low status and cannot pay my respects to the Queen Mother and serve her. I feel ashamed. This is the Buddhist scripture I copied these days. I come to present it to the Queen Mother to show my filial piety. I wish the Queen Mother good health."

As she spoke, she handed the copied Buddhist scripture to Aunt Zhuxi. Aunt Zhuxi took the scripture and looked at An Lingrong's small and beautiful handwriting and was very satisfied.

"My lady, you are so thoughtful. I will send it to the Queen Mother right away. Please wait outside for a moment."

"Thank you, Auntie." An Lingrong bowed to her aunt again, politely. Auntie Zhuxi took the Buddhist scriptures and went in to report.

After a while, Aunt Zhuxi came out with a box in her hand. "The Empress Dowager is very satisfied with your Buddhist scriptures. This is the bird's nest that the Empress Dowager asked me to bring to you. I hope you will give birth to an heir soon."

"Thank you for the reward, Queen Mother. I am a humble concubine, and it is my blessing that the Queen Mother is satisfied. Thank you, Aunt Zhuxi, for your hard work."

As she spoke, An Lingrong bowed to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace and then to Aunt Zhuxi, her movements being very standard.

After Aunt Zhuxi handed the bird's nest to An Lingrong, she bowed to her aunt and left.

After Aunt Zhuxi returned, the Queen Mother asked, "Are you gone?"

"Replying to the Queen Mother, An Changzai thanked her and left." Then she said, "From what I have seen, An Changzai is a person who knows the rules and is filial."

The empress dowager nodded. Indeed, An Lingrong was the first person to visit her after she entered the palace. She also gave her a handwritten Buddhist scripture. She had just read it herself. The handwriting was beautiful and elegant, like a beautiful girl from a small family.

I thought of the news I had heard before. People in Songyang County said that the county magistrate's daughter seldom went out, and An Lingrong and her mother were not valued. There were not many servants in the yard. Not much was known about them, but the only thing that everyone recognized was that An Lingrong had a very nice voice.

"That's right." As soon as Aunt Zhuxi heard the Queen Mother speak, she knew what she was going to ask.

"I heard that Concubine An's voice is exactly the same as when she was selected for the beauty pageant." Upon hearing this, the empress dowager nodded, and she felt relieved.

Aunt Zhuxi naturally couldn't hear it. An Lingrong knew that Aunt Zhuxi was someone close to the Queen Mother, so her initial conversation with Aunt Zhuxi was just imitating Chun Yuan, and there was no mistake at all.
