The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 20: The audience with the emperor

Today is the day for the whole palace to meet the Queen. Last night, An Lingrong asked Baoyu to prepare the clothes and jewelry to be worn the next day, so she can dress up directly after getting up in the morning.

An Lingrong looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly thought for a moment and said, "Baoyu, bring me the silver-plated gold-inlaid pearl-inlaid love flower hairpin that Concubine Hua gave me."

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then obediently put on An Lingrong and adjusted her hairstyle and makeup.

After all, this thing was a gift from Concubine Hua. Besides, she would be standing at the back, so the Queen might not see her. An Lingrong remembered that Zhen Huan fell ill because she saw the blessing child in the Sutra Well.

In addition, Xia Dongchun was so frightened after being awarded a hundred lashes of red lashes, that he actually wanted to save Xia Dongchun. That was something he had to do, but Zhen Huan had to get sick.

If Zhen Huan had been favored at the beginning, she would have had nothing to do later. After she became pregnant with the royal heir, Zhen Huan would come out to be favored again to divert everyone's attention and no one would notice her anymore.

After all, between a concubine from a small family and a "copy of Chun Yuan" who is 50% similar and 50% talented, I believe the queen will definitely know how to choose.

After An Lingrong left, she originally planned to go with Noble Lady Fucha, but Sang'er said that Noble Lady Fucha was still getting dressed, and the maid next to Concubine Xia said that Concubine Xia had just gotten up. An Lingrong had no choice but to go first.

Arriving at the gate of Jingren Palace, An Lingrong was the first one to arrive as expected. Jiang Fuhai said when he saw An Lingrong arriving, "I pay my respects to you, young lady. Please wait outside for a while until the other young ladies arrive and then go in together."

Of course, thank you, eunuch." Then An Lingrong took out a silver ingot and gave it to Jiang Fuhai: "Eunuch, thank you for your hard work. Please have some tea." "Thank you, my lady." Jiang Fuhai took the silver and thanked An Lingrong happily.

Although Jianqiu, who was beside the queen, was extremely loyal and could not be bought with money, the same could not be said for Jiang Fuhai.

In her previous life, after An Lingrong died, she saw these two being tortured. Jianqiu's punishment was heavier than Jiang Fuhai's. Jianqiu didn't say anything, but Jiang Fuhai vomited everything out. Alas, but the two of them could last so long. I don't know why they were so loyal to the queen, and I haven't seen anything good from the queen.

After about half an hour, all the other concubines arrived. They lined up and prepared to go in to pay their respects to the Queen. An Lingrong watched Zhen Huan standing at the front with Shen Meizhuang, just like in her previous life.

She couldn't help but smile and thought that the Queen originally wanted to use Concubine Hua to punish Zhen Huan. After all, Zhen Huan was given the character "Wan" by the Emperor. Others might not know what it meant, but Yixiu must know.

But that day, Concubine Hua was thinking about how so many people had come to compete with her for the throne of the Emperor. Although she asked Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan, she did not notice the problem with the standing positions. The others saw that the Queen and Concubine Hua did not say anything, so they naturally did not mention this matter either.

But she was the "virtuous queen", and the emperor valued Zhen Huan, so she naturally couldn't bring it up. This led to the queen looking annoyed every time she brought up the matter.

After coming in, An Lingrong saw that Concubine Hua was late again. It was the first time for Chun Changzai to see such a big scene and she was a little nervous. When An Lingrong noticed this, she took out a pre-made autumn pear candy from the bag and gave it to Chun Changzai.

Chun Chang was no longer nervous when she ate the delicious food, and then looked at An Lingrong eagerly. An Lingrong whispered: "We have to pay respects to the Queen now, so we can't eat too much. It's against the rules."

Chun Changzai had no choice but to give up. Then, just like in her previous life, Concubine Hua came late and had a few words with Concubine Qi.

Xia Dongchun, like in her previous life, said to Noble Lady Fucha without a brain: "Who is Concubine Hua doing this for with such a grand show?"

Noblewoman Fucha didn't want to pay attention to her, and Concubine Hua also glared at Xia Dongchun. An Lingrong couldn't help thinking, what a fool, who is she doing this for? Of course I did it for you. You said it so loudly that day, you don't think you are the only one who knows.

Then everyone began to pay their respects to the queen. They knelt down and held her hair three times. They stood up, knelt again, and repeated the process, which corresponded to the three kneeling and nine kowtows ceremony.

After it was over, everyone began to pay their respects to Concubine Hua. Because An Lingrong had known that Concubine Hua would be embarrassed, she found a comfortable posture to pay her respects from the beginning.

Sure enough, after Concubine Hua and the Queen chatted about jadeite for a while, the Queen pretended to be a good person and reminded An Lingrong that they were still kneeling, and then asked them to stand up.

"There is a Concubine Xia who I heard is very capable." Here she comes, An Lingrong thought.

Sure enough, Xia Dongchun took a few steps forward and bowed, saying, "Madam Hua, may you be blessed with good health. I am your concubine, that is, Concubine Xia."

As expected, the consequence of being scorned by Aunt Jiaoyin was that she performed the ceremony like a clown. Even Songzhi beside Concubine Hua couldn't help laughing at her.

"Mrs. Xia is very good at dressing up. The material of this dress must be very expensive." Oh, Xia Dongchun, Concubine Hua is calling you. Concubine Hua knows everything you said. An Lingrong is so anxious that she can hardly stand.

But Xia Dongchun didn't hear it, and thought that Concubine Hua was praising her, and she was quite happy. "Haha, this is the material given by the Queen. I specially wore it for the audience today."

"Dao knows how to repay kindness, and is a thoughtful person. Get up."

"Thank you, Empress Hua."

Well, An Lingrong decided that although she would keep Xia Dongchun, she would never get close to her to avoid misunderstandings from her future boss.
