After An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace, Bao Yu came up to her and said, "My lady, Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan received the gifts and ordered me to bring you something. There is also a gift from Concubine Fucha, waiting for your inspection." An Lingrong nodded and walked in.

The gifts given by Noble Lady Fucha were a Ming-style filigree blue butterfly small hairpin, a pair of butterfly hairpins with small butterfly pendants made of beads on the back and a gold-plated small butterfly, a Hetian jade bracelet, two gilt filigree silver rings, a pair of green Su earrings, and a pair of silver-plated kingfisher dragon head earrings.

Concubine Shen sent a piece of lilac-colored cloud satin embroidered with a vine pattern, and a piece of moon-white Western gauze. Concubine Wan sent a silver-burned blue hairpin inlaid with coral, and a hollow ivory hairpin with peach, bamboo and Ganoderma lucidum.

"My lady, these things given to you by Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan are so beautiful. However, compared with those given by Concubine Fucha, they seem a little inferior." Baoyu couldn't help but say as he looked at the things on the table.

"Baoyu, you dare to say anything. If you do this again next time, don't blame me for being merciless. Although the gifts from Noble Lady Fucha are beautiful and exquisite, many of them are beyond my capacity of status. However, the gifts from Sister Mei and Sister Wan are exactly what I can use now." An Lingrong glared at Baoyu and then spoke.

These things that Noble Lady Fucha awarded were probably because she felt they were not suitable for her, and they were definitely not in line with her position. The Fucha family was a big Manchu family, and they were very confident about their future promotion. If someone was not suitable for her to lead for the time being, she would keep him for when she was promoted.

All the gifts from Sister Mei and Sister Wan were very suitable for me. I remembered that they became enemies in the previous life and caused Shen Meizhuang to die in childbirth.

"Baoyu, register all these things. Baoyu, pick out a few that are suitable for me, and keep the rest for future exchange or reward. By the way, Baoyu, take the box of bird's nest that the Queen Mother gave you to the kitchen and make a portion with the recipe I gave you."

"Yes." After everything was arranged, An Lingrong sat on a stool to rest. She was exhausted after a busy day.

After a while, Bao He suddenly came over anxiously with the box of bird's nests that the Queen Mother had given him, "My lady, look quickly." Seeing Bao He so anxious, An Lingrong hurriedly looked into the box, and saw that in addition to a few bird's nests, there was also a purse at the bottom of the box.

An Lingrong took out the purse and opened it, and inside was some silver cushions. An Lingrong weighed them and estimated that there were about 70 or 80 taels.

An Lingrong was delighted, as it seemed that the Queen Mother knew that she was in financial difficulty, so she gave her the reward money. It happened that she did not have much money at the moment, so the Queen Mother was really a timely help.

But after being happy, An Lingrong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Why did the Queen Mother give her money? How did the Queen Mother know that she was short of money?

Obviously, the Queen Mother went to investigate her, and the purpose of the investigation was obviously her voice.

An Lingrong was very scared, but fortunately, when she was in Songyang County, An Bihuai said that it was not appropriate for a girl to show up in public. Her mother was not valued and no one took care of her, so not many people knew her specific situation.

Because he already knew that Aunt Zhuxi was the Queen Mother's person, in order to leave an impression on her, he imitated Queen Chunyuan from the beginning.

An Lingrong felt like she had survived a calamity. If any step went wrong, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. What's more, she would be imitating the emperor's white moonlight, then her plan would end just as it began.

As expected, in the palace, every step must be taken carefully. This time, An Lingrong escaped by coincidence, but she might not be so lucky next time. Alas, I clearly experienced this in my previous life, but I still didn't pay attention.

"Put away the bird's nest first, and put away the silver as well. I'm tired, so I'll go and rest first." An Lingrong stood up tiredly and ordered. "Yes, I will help you bathe and change clothes."

After copying the rest of the Buddhist scriptures, I will make some incense for worshiping Buddha and go to the Queen Mother to express my gratitude. Anyway, the Queen Mother knows her situation now, and she can't give away anything valuable. The only things she can give away are her embroidery and perfume.

After An Lingrong thought it over, she lay down and said, "Let's take a rest first. The Queen's reward will probably arrive tomorrow."
