The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

A few days later, An Lingrong was preparing the ingredients for making lucky bags for the New Year when Bao Lu came in to report that Concubine Wan had arrived.

"Let her in."

"I pay my respects to Concubine Rou."

"Sister, please get up soon. We haven't seen each other for a long time. You and I have become quite unfamiliar with each other."

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Baoyu came forward with two cups of tea and said, "Your Majesty, the scented tea has been finished. Baoyu just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some. Let's drink some Tianchi tea first."

An Lingrong frowned and said, "Forget it, it's just something to quench your thirst." Then she smiled and said to Zhen Huan, "It's just that I'm used to it. I always feel that other teas don't taste good."

Zhen Huan also said: "I still have some scented tea leaves. I will ask Liu Zhu to bring them to the queen later."

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. But sister and I are really estranged. I call you empress now. You can just call me Lingrong as before."

An Lingrong took a sip of tea, frowned, put it down and said, "However, with my sister's favor, I think it will be just around the corner for me to be crowned as a concubine."

"Lingrong, you are joking. The three of us entered the palace together, and now you have the highest rank among us. How can I, your elder sister, compare to you, your younger sister?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming cold, Zhen Huan turned her head to signal, and Jing Xi hurried forward with the box.

Before she could say anything, Baoyu brought a pair of earrings to her: "Your Majesty, when I was cleaning the storeroom just now, I saw this pair of white jade double-linked earrings. The emperor gave them to you a while ago. Your Majesty, would you like to wear them to the New Year's Eve banquet?"

From this angle, Zhen Huan could just see the pair of earrings. When she saw the material of the earrings, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Jin Xi also noticed it. She didn't know whether to hand over the box in her hand or not.

An Lingrong took a look and then looked away, took a sip of tea and said, "I remember there is another golden hairpin inlaid with precious stones, let's take these two."

"Yes."

An Lingrong put down her teacup and looked up and asked, "Sister, what did you want to say just now?"

"Sister, you don't have anything good either. This jade hairpin is the only thing you can show off. Although it's not as good as the earrings my sister just bought, it's also precious."

As she spoke, Jinxi opened the box, and it was the pair of Hetian jade hairpins from her previous life.

In the previous life, the reason why she gave the jade hairpin to Chun Changzai was because she devalued the pajamas she made in front of several people. When Zhen Huan knew that Chun Changzai had offended her, she gave her the jade hairpin.

An Lingrong later thought that there must be other purposes, most likely to divert the hostile attention from herself.

Although it was Concubine Chun who said that, in the final analysis, it was Zhen Huan who outdid herself. In addition, Zhen Huan knew that she was thoughtful and was afraid that she would think about why the two of them sent pajamas together.

So he had to transform the conflict between An Lingrong and himself into a conflict between An Lingrong and Chun Changzai.

At that time, Shen Meizhuang was under house arrest due to a fake pregnancy. Although Zhen Huan was not open to her, she was at least somewhat sincere to her at that time. She just felt humiliated at that time and always felt that she was being humiliated.

Moreover, An Lingrong glanced at Jin Xi.

This Jin Xi was obviously the most capable and cautious aunt in charge around Zhen Huan, but she said something extra when she gave her the jade hairpin.

At the first moment, she thought that Zhen Huan gave her such a good hairpin because she was afraid that she and Chun Changzai would quarrel and she was protecting Chun Changzai. Jing Xi and Zhen Huan both liked Chun Changzai's personality and she was not scheming. At the same time, they were also worried about Chun Changzai, fearing that she might offend others without knowing it.

This made An Lingrong feel that although Chun Changzai had said something wrong, she did not mean it. Not only was she not wrong, but she was also likable because of her innocent nature. As for An Lingrong, if she still cared about it, she would be petty and like to have wild thoughts.

Humph, I don't know, if Chun Changzai said the same thing to Zhen Huan, would Zhen Huan be just as generous? I still think Chun Changzai is so naive.

At that time, Chun Changzai could only say unpleasant things to herself because of her humble family background. Although most people would prefer a naive person to a sensitive and suspicious person, An Lingrong didn't believe that Zhen Huan couldn't hear it.

Maybe Zhen Huan thought she was too hypocritical at first, and the result was that she gave herself a jade hairpin. This made her even sadder.

An Lingrong smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister. However, although this jade hairpin of yours is of a rare and fine quality and has a soft texture, its style is really not suitable for me."

When Zhen Huan's smile froze on her face, she saw the jade hairpin and thought it was too valuable and not suitable for someone of her status, so she asked someone to put it away. However, she forgot that the Emperor had taken this into consideration. Although the material was valuable, the style and design were all made for noble ladies.

An Lingrong is now a concubine, but this jade hairpin, in addition to the right material, the design is all of the level of a noble lady. In addition, this hairpin was given by the emperor privately, and it was not taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Zhen Huan forgot about it.

Zhen Huan thought quickly, the jewelry she brought from home were all relatively simple and elegant. In addition, she was a concubine and An Lingrong was a consort, so it was naturally impossible for her to give the jewelry given by the emperor to An Lingrong.

The only thing that fit was the pair of jade shoes, but they were made according to Zhen Huan's size.

But even if it was just cloth, An Lingrong now had access to better materials than her.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan with some amusement. In her previous life, when her status was lower than hers, anything she gave was suitable and she would accept it, but now.

In the end, Zhen Huan could only say dryly: "It's my sister's fault for not considering it carefully..."

An Lingrong chuckled and said, "Sister, I know what you mean. We entered the palace together. No matter what, how could you turn against me?"

Although An Lingrong clearly told Zhen Huan that she would not stand against her, she did not say whether she would be on good terms with her in the future.

Zhen Huan could no longer sit still, so she stood up and left.

Before Zhen Huan left, An Lingrong gave her a silver jadeite tassel hairpin. This hairpin was given by the emperor when An Lingrong was a concubine. Because she was promoted to concubine within two months, and there was an epidemic at the time, she had never worn this hairpin and it was completely new.

Of course, it is also just right for Zhen Huan's current position. This hairpin is low-key and not ostentatious, and Zhen Huan will have to stay in this position for a few more years. There will always be a time to wear it.

When I was favored in my previous life, I gave gifts to Zhen Huan. I always felt that I had finally gotten my due and it was finally my turn to reward others.

Although she rarely had such thoughts in her new life, she still wanted to do it today for some reason. She just wanted to see what Zhen Huan looked like with the gift she gave her.

After Zhen Huan asked Jin Xi to take the box, she bowed and left.
