The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

After An Lingrong and the others arrived at the Yiku Palace, Concubine Hua waved her hand generously and had all the pastries made.

This instantly made Chun Changzai become Hua Fei's little fan girl. Hua Fei liked her even more when she knew Chun Changzai was only fourteen years old. After all, the Emperor would not be fond of such a child.

Concubine Hua loves everyone equally who does not compete with her for favor.

While eating snacks, the clever An Lingrong relied on her memories from her previous life to say words that Concubine Hua liked, but in a way that made people not feel like she was flattering.

After eating the snacks, Concubine Hua waved her hand and gave rewards to all the concubines who came to eat snacks. An Lingrong took the heavy box and knew how much reward was inside without thinking.

An Lingrong was looking down happily. When Concubine Hua saw the silver-plated gilt and pearl-studded love flower hairpin on An Lingrong's head, she thought for a moment and said, "An Changzai is a beautiful girl from a small family, but it's not good to be too plain. Go, Songzhi, give An Changzai my pair of gilded silver and phoenix-patterned hairpins."

After hearing this, An Lingrong quickly thanked him and was extremely happy.

After returning to the Yanxi Palace, Baoyu said to An Lingrong as soon as she entered: "My lady, Concubine Wan saw it."

An Lingrong nodded: "I understand. Register all these rewards and put them into the warehouse. Then take out some of the snacks given by Concubine Hua and pack them up. Then go see Princess Chaogui later."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Baoyu bowed and left.

An Lingrong sat down and opened the box given by Concubine Hua. Inside were several precious white jade bracelets and jadeite bracelets, and two pearl necklaces of excellent quality. An Lingrong looked through it and found that there was even a round bracelet made of icy imperial purple chalcedony.

An Lingrong picked up the bracelet and found that it was made of agate. Such a wonderful treasure was just given away by Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua was so generous.

There was usually no need for special inspection for such open rewards, and Hua Fei never did those insidious things. She would only target people blatantly.

Although this agate bracelet is nice, it is not something a mere concubine like me can wear. The silver-plated gold and pearl-studded hairpin I wore today was not in conformity with the rules. Fortunately, no one except Concubine Hua noticed it, otherwise she would have been caught.

An Lingrong thought to herself that if Zhen Huan saw that dirty thing, she probably wouldn't sleep with him even if her house arrest was lifted.

The prescription for conceiving a child given by the queen in the previous life was also collected by An Lingrong in bits and pieces. However, the prescription was too strong. If one forced pregnancy, he would be childless like the queen, and the child would be weak and die young. The eldest prince Honghui was a good example.

So An Lingrong decided to take it slow. She would first find a trustworthy imperial physician to slowly regulate her body, then find some beauty secrets for herself. When it was time to serve the emperor in bed, she would reduce the dosage of the prescription. It would be best if she could get pregnant without hurting her body.

Everything went smoothly today. Xia Dongchun was saved, Fu Zi was seen by Zhen Huan, and Concubine Hua had made a good impression. An Lingrong touched the silver-plated and pearl-studded love flower hairpin on her head and said silently in her heart that the plan was a success.

An Lingrong took off the hairpin and gave it to Baoyu along with the reward to be registered and put into the warehouse. Then she took the snacks to see Princess Chaogui and Concubine Guo.

After all, I plan to take care of my body so that it will be easier to have children. It is always good to exercise more, and it also makes it easier to socialize, killing two birds with one stone.

Princess Chaogui was extremely happy when she saw that An Lingrong had brought her snacks from Concubine Hua's palace. After all, the snacks in Yikun Palace were famous for their deliciousness, and she had never tasted them before. An Lingrong brought her so many at once, including crab roe crisps.

"Sister An is so nice, she is really my good sister-in-law. Sister An, don't worry, I will find a prince consort in the capital and marry him. He will be close to my mother and Sister An. I can also come back to the palace to play with Sister An every day."

Princess Chaogui said happily while eating snacks, An Lingrong couldn't help feeling a little pity for her, not only thinking that Princess Chaogui would marry into the Dzungar Khanate in the future, but also would have to serve an old man who was about to die, and even in the later period she would be demoted from princess to concubine.

We should take things one step at a time. We should try to delay Princess Chaogui's marriage, preferably after the old Khan dies. At least, she won't have to be a concubine.
