The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan argued back and forth. Finally, the emperor decided to wait a few days before discussing the matter, and asked the Junggar envoy to stay in Beijing for a few more days. Finally, he left.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After the emperor left, the queen said a few words and asked everyone to leave.

After leaving Jingren Palace, An Lingrong happened to see Chao Gui waving at her not far away.

"How is it? How is it? What did my brother say? He won't really marry me off, will he?"

Now An Lingrong was not sure either, and could only comfort her by saying that the matter had not been finalized yet.

Chao Gui couldn't help crying, regretting that she complained when the marriage was arranged, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get the upper hand. She even slapped herself in the face.

An Lingrong hurriedly held her hand to comfort her. In order to ease her emotions, An Lingrong asked Chao Gui to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow. Chao Gui nodded with red eyes. After all, when she thought that she might never come back, she wanted to see more of the home where she had lived for so long.

As soon as they turned the corner, they saw Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang talking to Cao Qinmo.

"Is that Wanpin?"

"Yes." An Lingrong nodded. After all, the clothes of nobles and concubines were different. There were two nobles and one concubine among the three people. The princess had lived in the palace for so long, so An Lingrong naturally didn't think Chao Gui would make a mistake.

There was a hint of hatred in Chao Gui's eyes when he looked at Zhen Huan. If it weren't for this woman, he would not have faced the risk of marriage.

The two of them were standing at a corner at the moment, not far from the three people, so An Lingrong and the others could hear what they said.

"Now that the national treasury is empty, marriage is the best solution. Sister Cao is very considerate, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of the princess's dowry in the future."

"Sister, you are too serious. The princess's dowry is decided by the Queen and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can I interfere?"

"It's easy to prepare the dowry, but it's all under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's also difficult. There can't be any mistakes. If there are any, it will affect the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. Sister Cao is very careful, so this matter must be handled by you."

Cao Qinmo could only bow her head. She knew that Zhen Huan was in favor now, and no matter what Zhen Huan said, as long as it was not too much, the emperor would agree.

An Lingrong clearly felt that Princess Chaogui's breath beside her had become unstable.

As expected, Princess Chaogui looked at Zhen Huan with undisguised hatred in her eyes. She was already in danger of being married off to Junggar because of Zhen Huan, and now her dowry had to be arranged by a noble.

"Zhen Huan."

……

The emperor has been very worried about the marriage these days. If he wants a marriage, there is no candidate. If he wants a war, the princess will be more powerful than him and threaten his throne.

So the emperor naturally thought of An Lingrong, who had a gentle personality and was the most pleasing to the eye.

After lunch, the emperor came to the Yanx Palace to see the children. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Yanx Palace, the emperor saw Concubine Nian was also there.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor has been feeling upset these days. When he saw Concubine Nian, he thought of Nian Gengyao. He was about to ask Concubine Nian to go back first, but Concubine Nian took her leave first. The emperor was stunned and nodded in agreement after a little hesitation.

After the emperor sat down, An Lingrong ordered someone to bring snacks and tea.

"Your Majesty, please try this winter plum shrimp cake. It was brought by Princess Chaogui yesterday. These are all winter plum petals that she picked herself."

When the emperor heard Chao Gui's name, he became even more worried. He didn't even eat the cakes. After sitting for a while, he said he had some government affairs to deal with and got up and left.

I don't know if it was the emperor's instruction, but during the time the Junggar envoy was in the capital, he seemed to know that there was no princess of the right age to marry his Khan. So he asked for a few benefits. Although these benefits were a bit excessive, compared to fighting a war, the emperor had no choice but to compromise.

This matter seems to be over.

Note: Today I looked for the prototypes of Noble Lady Fucha, they were Qin Fangyi and Du Peiyun. Du Peiyun was later named Concubine Tian, ​​so I changed Noble Lady Fucha's title to Tian.
