The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

A few days before the enthronement, An Lingrong learned that the Queen was going to take Zhen Huan's auspicious clothes, and she knew that the Queen was going to take action.

So An Lingrong secretly told Concubine Hua that Huang Guiquan should try not to interfere in the matter of enthronement. At the very least, the enthronement of Concubine Wan must not go through his hands.

Although Concubine Hua was doubtful, she agreed. After all, she and Zhen Huan did not get along, and Huang Guiquan was a distant relative of hers. Concubine Hua would not ask her distant relative to please someone she hated if she could avoid it.

But Huang Guiquan was the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department after all, so he gave the conferment ceremony of Concubine Wan to the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, Jiang Zhongmin, and said that Concubine Wan was the most favored and would be rewarded handsomely if she did a good job.

Jiang Zhongmin did not doubt it. After all, everyone knew that Huang Guiquan was a distant relative of Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua did not like Zhen Huan. It was probably because of the pressure from Concubine Hua.

But this is indeed a good thing. Concubine Wan is the most favored by the emperor. If he does a good job, even if he is only responsible for one concubine, maybe by then, even Huang Guiquan will have to make way for him. Hahahaha.

The Queen was a little disappointed when she learned that it was the Deputy Chief Eunuch Jiang Zhongmin who was in charge of conferring the title of Emperor Zhen Huan. After all, she wanted to take this opportunity to remove the "arm" of Concubine Hua. But the Deputy Chief Eunuch is the Deputy Chief Eunuch.

This person originally belonged to her. In order not to alert others, she let Jiang Zhongmin move up slowly, step by step.

As a result, Huang Guiquan suddenly appeared halfway through, otherwise she would have let Jiang Zhongmin take the position of the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department long ago.

I didn't expect that Concubine Hua was not shy at all. She said that this person was her distant relative and openly asked the emperor to arrange a position for Huang Guiquan. At that time, I gave Jiang Zhongmin a lot of extra things to comfort him because of this matter. I have a headache just thinking about it.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, everyone else arrived first, but the Queen suddenly had a headache, so the Emperor and the concubines had to wait for a while. After all, the Queen Mother was ill, so there was no rush for the enthronement ceremony. Anyway, it was not the time yet and Zhen Huan had not arrived yet.

Shen Meizhuang looked back from time to time. Zhen Huan usually arrived early and rarely arrived on time. At that time, she thought Zhen Huan would arrive early so she didn't wait for her. Secondly, Cun Ju Tang and Sui Yu Xuan were not on the way.

The Emperor saw that the Empress was in great distress, and seeing that everyone except Zhen Huan had arrived early, he told everyone to kneel down and the ceremony was over. They didn't need to listen to any more instructions and could just go back.

When Zhen Huan arrived, she agreed to kneel down and leave. Anyway, it was only during this hour, and the Queen Mother's health was the most important. At worst, they could choose another time later to have them do it again.

Everyone knelt down to thank the Emperor and the Empress. After thanking them, they expressed their concern for the Empress politely and then took their leave.

The Queen said a few words "uncomfortable", muttering in her heart: How does Jiang Zhongmin do things? Why hasn't Zhen Huan come yet?

Since Concubine Hui was now Concubine Hui, the main empress, she could no longer live in the side hall of Xianfu Palace. The emperor originally wanted to arrange Shen Meizhuang to live in Zhongcui Palace, but Zhongcui Palace was previously occupied by Yu Shi, and Shen Meizhuang thought it was unlucky, so the emperor thought so and arranged Shen Meizhuang to live in Yonghe Palace.

Of course, when moving in, she had to take the plaque written by the emperor himself. However, the emperor thought that the name of the main hall, Cunju Hall, did not sound good, so he asked Shen Meizhuang to hang it in a side hall. After all, she was the mistress now, and everything in Yonghe Palace belonged to her.

As for Concubine Cao, she used to live with Concubine Li in Qixiang Palace. Now that Concubine Li was sent to the cold palace, Concubine Cao naturally became the master of Qixiang Palace and moved into the main hall.

However, because the original owner, Concubine Li, lived in the cold palace, Concubine Cao still disliked this place as unlucky, but she was not as favored as Concubine Hui, so she had to move in obediently.

Since entering the palace, Concubine Xiang and Noble Lady Yan have basically been chanting scriptures and praying in the Baohua Hall. They are also good friends and have become the mascots of the palace, so they are arranged to live in Jingyang Palace together (the author knows that no one can live there, referring to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, and there is really no palace with an empty main seat. The author knows that there is also a Zhongcui Palace, but it will be used later so it cannot be lived in for the time being).

On her way back, Huipin ran into Zhen Huan who was hurrying over. She said hurriedly, "You were never late before. What happened today?" She suddenly noticed Zhen Huan's clothes and asked, "Is this your wedding dress? Why does it look so old?"

Zhen Huan explained briefly, and Shen Meizhuang became a little worried after learning the whole story: "This auspicious dress is like a gift from the emperor, can it be used as a substitute? Besides, whose dress did it originally belong to? Your palace maid Jin Xi won't stop you from ordering it."

Zhen Huan comforted her, "It's okay. When Ling Rong was made a concubine last time, the auspicious date was set too hastily, so the auspicious dress that Concubine Qi wore before was modified. Moreover, the Queen Mother also praised the Queen for being expedient and polite. As for the origin, Deputy Chief Manager Jiang said that it might have been worn by the Queen before."

Shen Meizhuang was very surprised when she heard this: "How can I wear the Queen's old clothes?"

Shen Meizhuang's family used to be taught by the mistress of the house, so she naturally learned how to deal with those ignorant concubines. One of the rules was that if a concubine wore the mistress's clothes on her own initiative, no matter if they were red or not, she would be beaten and sold, or even worse.

Although Shen Meizhuang is now a concubine in the palace, she knows that even concubines from ordinary families are not allowed to wear the clothes of their mistresses. Even if they are the most noble concubines in the palace, they are not allowed to do so.

"Oh, Sister Mei, don't worry, it's okay, time is running out, I'll leave first."

"Hey! Huan'er!"

Although Zhen Huan did not get rid of the Nian family and Cao Qinmo in this life, her father was promoted for his meritorious investigation, and she and the emperor also had a harmonious relationship, which made her feel like she was "at the peak of her career".

You know, when a person is going smoothly, it is very easy to overestimate his own strength and think that achieving success is as easy as taking candy from a sack, thus turning a blind eye to potential risks and problems.

As for why Zhen Huan arrived on time, it was all thanks to An Lingrong. Because Jiang Zhongmin was the deputy general manager, An Lingrong specifically asked Huang Guiquan to trip Jiang Zhongmin and delay the time of bringing the clothes over.

And in order to let the Emperor see Zhen Huan wearing Chun Yuan's old clothes alone, the Queen pretended to be in great pain.

Everyone else had arrived, except Zhen Huan. Although it was not the time yet, seeing how distressed the Queen Mother was, she would naturally let others kneel down and pay their respects before leaving.

After all, the Queen is the mother of a country, so no matter what, she has to be cautious. Otherwise, not only will the Emperor lose face, but the Queen Mother will also come after him. Therefore, the Emperor would rather find time later for the concubines to listen to the teachings again, rather than rushing into it now.
