The next morning, An Lingrong took the remaining cakes and delivered them to Concubine Qi, Concubine Li, Concubine Jing, Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin, the elderly people in the palace, and said a few good words.

Among them, Concubine Qi and Changzai Xin gave two. Seeing that An Lingrong thought of their own children, Concubine Qi and Changzai happily gave An Lingrong things as rewards.

Princess Wen Yi was too young to eat cakes, so she only brought one portion. But An Lingrong also brought a toy ball she had made herself, which was decorated with Suzhou embroidery. Although the ball seemed small in the eyes of adults, it was the same size as Wen Yi when she saw the ball. When Wen Yi saw the ball, she screamed with excitement.

When Concubine Cao saw her daughter so happy, she was naturally happy too, so she turned around and gave the pair of agate earrings that Concubine Hua had given to An Lingrong. An Lingrong happily thanked her and praised Princess Wen Yi a few words. Concubine Cao was extremely happy to hear someone praising her daughter.

Afterwards, An Lingrong thought about it and secretly took a copy to the palace of Concubine Duan in order to be on guard against Concubine Hua. After all, she was the concubine who survived to the end in her previous life, and those who could survive to the end must have some ability.

In addition, Concubine Duan helped Zhen Huan out of trouble several times. An Lingrong felt that this must be due to the fact that Zhen Huan had a pure face. But now Concubine Duan has not met Zhen Huan yet, and An Lingrong felt that she should seize the opportunity with her voice.

An Lingrong also learned from some fragmentary words in her previous life that when Concubine Hua was pregnant in the palace, Concubine Duan gave her a bowl of abortion-preserving medicine, but Concubine Hua then gave Concubine Duan a pot of safflower.

An Lingrong couldn't help but sigh that Yinzhen was really scheming. He was worthy of being the emperor. Both Hua Fei and Duan Fei's families held great power at the time, so this made it impossible for the two concubines with powerful backgrounds to get pregnant.

Everything was going well, but before long Concubine Duan's father and brother died on the battlefield, leaving her alone.

Alas, I wonder if Yinzhen ever regretted it later. After all, he once loved her, and she also loved his woman. Besides, treating an orphan girl well is a good reputation.

If the orphan has a child, if it is a daughter, there is a possibility that she has been favored by Concubine Duan's family. In order to prevent this girl from being raised by Mongolia, they will do their best to help the emperor solve the major threat from Mongolia.

In addition, I heard in my previous life that apart from Concubine Hua, the most favored one in the palace was Concubine Duan.

Yinzhen was so cruel to the two women he loved for the sake of his throne. I don't know what charm this emperor had, but Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan were both devoted to him.

Even when Zhen Huan slayed the dragon in the end, Concubine Duan still wanted to help the Emperor take revenge. Zhen Huan almost wanted to silence Concubine Duan. If it weren't for Princess Wen Yi being by her side at the time, Concubine Duan would have really done it.

Concubine Hua dared to love and hate. When she learned the secret of Huan Yixiang and knew that her lover had been plotting against her and even aborted their child, she hit her head against the wall and died in grief. If she hadn't died at that time, she would probably never look at the emperor again.

An Lingrong brought pastries to Concubine Duan's Yanqing Palace. Jixiang, the maid beside Concubine Duan, was a little surprised to see An Lingrong at first. After all, not many people would come to see their own queen.

So she invited An Lingrong in. Concubine Duan was also curious about who would come to see her. Wasn't she afraid of Concubine Hua?

"Your concubine An, the concubine of Yanxi Palace, pays respects to Concubine Duan. May Concubine Duan live in peace and happiness."

As expected, Concubine Duan was stunned when she heard An Lingrong's voice. "Get up. It's hard for Concubine An to come to see me. I don't have anything in my palace to entertain Concubine An."

"Your Highness, what are you saying? A few days ago, the Queen gave me three taels of Biluochun tea as a reward. I was not lucky enough to enjoy such a good tea, so I ordered the kitchen to grind the tea into powder and make it into a pastry from my hometown, Green Tea Milk Pastry, and specially sent it to the ladies in the palace to taste."

An Lingrong took out the cakes. Seeing Concubine Duan nod, Jixiang brought the cakes to Concubine Duan. Concubine Duan picked up a piece of cake, took a bite and said, "The cakes in An Changzai's hometown are delicious. I wonder where Changzai is from?"

"Your Majesty, I am from Songyang County." Concubine Duan nodded, looked at An Lingrong and said, "Your voice is very nice." Sure enough.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. When I was at home, my parents and aunt said that I had a nice voice." Concubine Duan nodded, suddenly coughed twice, and said that she was not feeling well and asked Jixiang to see the guest off. An Lingrong bowed politely and took her leave.

Concubine Duan looked at An Lingrong's back as she left and suddenly whispered, "I haven't heard this voice for a long time."

An Lingrong then gave one copy each to Borjigit Noblewoman and Yan Changzai.

The portion that Concubine Xia requested with more milk was also brought to her. Xia Dongchun took the pastry and gave An Lingrong a gold, tourmaline and glass hairpin. The portion was so generous that it was beyond words.

This made An Lingrong feel more favorable towards Xia Dongchun, and she even thought she was a little cute.

An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace and happily counted her spoils. Concubine Qi gave her a gilt and gem-inlaid brooch, Concubine Jing gave her a piece of light pink satin, Concubine Xin gave her a pair of Eight Immortals silver bracelets, and Concubine Cao gave her a jade necklace in addition to the pair of earrings.

Looking at these two things, there is no doubt that they were given to her by Concubine Hua. Concubine Duan will be of great use in the future, and Concubine Li casually gave her a silver hairpin. It was a great harvest.
