The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

On the second day, the Queen and Concubine Hua ordered the eunuchs to give rewards to the concubines who entered the palace. Since An Lingrong was a concubine in this life, she thought that her life would not be as shabby as in her previous life.

What surprised her this time was that Aunt Jianqiu, who was by the Queen's side, actually came in person. An Lingrong hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Aunt, how are you? Why are you here in person? Please come in."

No matter what, the queen is still the queen. As someone close to the queen, Jianqiu naturally cannot lack the etiquette and face she should be given.

"Good luck to Miss An. I am here on orders to bring you a reward." Then the three eunuchs behind Jianqiu came over with the reward.

One of them was holding a piece of light green palace silk with a magnolia branch pattern, another was holding a jewelry box containing jewelry and a banner suitable for a permanent position, and the other eunuch seemed to be holding tea. Was the empress sending him tea?

In theory, only nobles are eligible to receive seven liang of Liu'an tea and four liang of Tianchi tea every month. People of lower status either bring their own from home or don't drink tea.

In her previous life, An Lingrong could only drink tea when invited by the Queen or when she went to see Zhen Huan. It was not until she became a noble lady that she could receive tea.

"This is the newly-tributed Biluochun. The Queen Mother specially ordered me to bring it to you, young lady." Jianqiu opened the lid, and there were about three taels of Biluochun inside.

Is the Queen trying to win me over now? Is it because she didn't let Baojuan come in to serve and couldn't get any information? Although it was strange, An Lingrong still bowed properly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am flattered to receive such precious tea leaves. Bao He." Bao He immediately stepped forward, took out a bag of silver and handed it to Jian Qiu.

"It's hot recently, please go and have some tea with me, Auntie." Jianqiu took the purse and ordered the eunuch to put the things down. Then she said, "My lady, please be busy first. Please remember to go to Jingren Palace at 1:00 a.m. in three days to pay respects to the Empress. I will take my leave now."

"Okay, I'll remember this. I'll see my aunt off."

After An Lingrong sent Jianqiu out, she went into the house to see the things the Queen had given her as a reward. Baoyu checked them and found nothing bad mixed in.

What's going on? Has the Queen changed her personality? An Lingrong took the tea and smelled it curiously. She asked why the Queen suddenly sent her such good tea. Although it was well preserved, it still had a musty smell. Humph, they said it was a new tribute, but it must have been stored for at least more than a year.

If it was An Lingrong from her previous life, she would definitely not be able to smell it, but she was reborn, and in her previous life she had at least achieved the position of a concubine, so she could still smell it.

"My lady, this Biluochun is top-grade tea. The Queen really likes you." Baojuan said on the side, and the others also agreed with Baojuan. Oh, yes, they forgot that these people could not smell the moldy smell in it.

An Lingrong looked at the tea leaves, then handed them to Bao Que and said, "These tea leaves are precious, I can't use them all by myself, go ask the kitchen to grind them into tea powder. There is a kind of cake called green tea milk cake in my hometown. Go get some milk, I will write you a recipe later, you and Bao Que make the cakes, and we will take them to the ladies in the palace."

Although they were puzzled as to why the young lady asked for such good tea to be made into cakes to give away, they had to do what the young lady asked. Bao Que and Bao Que obediently took the tea and left.

"Oh, right, ask the imperial kitchen to make two copies urgently. We need to send them to the empress and the queen mother first." Then he handed a silver ingot to Bao He, thought for a moment and said, "Take the Hetian jade bracelet that Noble Lady Fucha gave you yesterday. If it doesn't work, give this bracelet."

After Baoyu left, An Lingrong looked at the remaining rewards and arranged for Baoyu to register the rest into the warehouse, and pick out a few suitable ones to present to the Queen three days later.

An Lingrong just checked and found that there was no problem. Well, the Queen would not be stupid enough to put something on the reward. When the time comes, they will know it is her. Besides, these rewards were reviewed by the Queen herself, so there is no way to say that it was the servants' problem.

I thought it was over, but another group of palace servants came and said it was a reward from Concubine Hua.

An Lingrong was somewhat surprised that this time both the Queen and Concubine Hua gave her a reward. Although Concubine Hua gave a small amount, it was extremely valuable. She must have felt that she was a humble family but was given a concubine.

It seems that my position of Changzai should have been decided by the Emperor when he reviewed it for the last time. After all, in my previous life, I was only given the position of Yiying because of my family background and appearance. This time, with the voice of Empress Chunyuan, I was given the title of Changzai.

Empress Hua gave a silver-gilt headdress with kingfisher feather patterns, a silver-gilt hairpin inlaid with pearls and a pair of pure gold filigree phoenix hairpins from the palace collection.

Very good, very expensive, not even what I am qualified to wear. An Lingrong sighed in her heart, but this still couldn't stop her from wanting to rely on this stupid and rich boss.

At this time, Xia Dongchun had just seen Jianqiu off and passed by. Because the Queen's rewards had just been put away, Xia Dongchun thought that An Lingrong only had the things rewarded by Concubine Hua.

He couldn't help but say arrogantly: "You are of humble origin, so don't blame others for disliking you. This reward is really shabby." An Lingrong didn't want to pay attention to this idiot. This guy was really stupid.

Seeing An Lingrong like this, Xia Dongchun thought that what she said was right. She looked at the palace servant who was leaving after delivering the reward to An Lingrong and said proudly: "No matter how good the reward given by Concubine Hua is, it is not as good as the one given by the Empress. Make a set of clothes with the material given by the Empress, and I will wear it when the palace gathers together to pay my respects to the Empress and thank her for her kindness."

After saying this, she gave An Lingrong a provocative look, not knowing that everything she said was heard by Zhou Ninghai, who had just come out from Noble Lady Fucha.

It was her own fault. An Lingrong wondered whether she should still win over this idiot, but when she thought of Xia Dongchun's family background, she thought, forget it. For the sake of money, she might as well help her.
