The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 33: Sleeping with the Emperor (4)

After it was over, An Lingrong murmured secretly in her heart, in her previous life, she had only used incense three times a night at most, and she didn't expect this fat guy had such potential, and she didn't expect he was someone who could do it five times a night.

According to the rules, An Lingrong would be sent back after bathing. As soon as she stood up with the help of the nanny, the emperor said: "You don't have to go back tonight, just rest here."

An Lingrong was startled and quickly bowed to express her gratitude: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

The next day, when An Lingrong woke up, the emperor was no longer beside her. She hurriedly got up but fell back into bed because of a pain in her waist. Hiss, what a bastard.

Baoyu heard the voice and quickly opened the curtain: "My lady, you are awake. The emperor specifically ordered you to continue sleeping, and said that you don't need to go to pay respects today."

Finally, she thought of something and knelt down happily: "Congratulations, my lady. The emperor promoted you before he left. You are now a noble lady."

An Lingrong couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She was promoted to a noble lady just like that. Then An Lingrong asked again: "What time is it now?"

Baoyu looked outside and then said, "My lord, it's almost dawn."

"Dress me up. Although the emperor has exempted me from paying respects, rules are rules. If I don't go, people will probably think I am arrogant because of my favor."

"Yes, my lord."

Baoyu and Baoyu worked as quickly as possible to help An Lingrong dress up. After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Xiaoxiazi, who was waiting outside, hurried to greet An Lingrong as soon as she saw her coming out and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to the noble lady An. The emperor has arranged a sedan chair for the young lady and said that if she wants to pay her respects to the queen, she can take the sedan chair. Eunuch Su specially asked me to wait here."

An Lingrong looked at the sedan chair in front of her. Although she knew that this was a bit against the rules, she had no choice but to nod and say, "In that case, I'll trouble you, eunuch."

Afterwards, Bao Lu helped An Lingrong into the sedan chair, turned around and took out an ingot of silver and gave it to Xiao Xiazi.

"Thank you, young lady. Please rest assured that we will not let you be late for paying your respects." Xiao Xiazi put the silver into his arms and said with a smile.

Baoyu nodded: "Thank you, eunuch."

When we arrived at Jingren Palace, the time was just right. The door had just opened and the concubines standing outside were about to go in.

An Lingrong got off the sedan chair and looked up just in time to see Shen Meizhuang: "Sister Mei."

Shen Meizhuang also saw that An Lingrong was not in a position to talk at the gate of Jingren Palace, so she nodded and went in.

After entering Jingren Palace, An Lingrong saw that Concubine Hua had arrived early this time. Well, the Emperor had turned over her card last night, so there was no reason for Concubine Hua to be late.

When Concubine Hua saw her, she rolled her eyes. An Lingrong knew that Concubine Hua was jealous again. Well, she had to take it one step at a time.

After the Queen arrived, all the concubines paid their respects to her. Then, according to the etiquette, An Lingrong, who had slept with the Queen for the first time the night before, performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the Queen alone.

After An Lingrong finished her ceremony, the Queen gave her some instructions on how to serve the Emperor well and expand the royal family. Then she said a few simple words and let everyone go.

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were about to say something after leaving Jingren Palace when Concubine Hua came in aggressively. The two of them hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to Her Majesty Concubine Hua."

Concubine Hua did not ask them to get up: "An Changzai, oh, now I should call you An Guiren. An Guiren is really good at tricking. Not only did you coax the Queen Mother to help you, but the Emperor also let you stay in the Yangxin Palace."

"I dare not. I was just lucky enough to catch the eye of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. My appearance is not even one ten-thousandth of yours. The Emperor also praised yours in front of me last night."

An Lingrong thought that any bit of recovery would be the best, otherwise she would never be able to enter the Yikun Palace in the future.

"Hmph. You're smart." Then Concubine Hua left with her people without looking back. "Your concubine respectfully sees off Her Majesty Hua." Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong waited until Concubine Hua was far away before they stood up.

"Now, we have both become the thorns in the eyes of Concubine Hua." Shen Meizhuang said worriedly: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Now you and I are both noble ladies. You don't have to go through those empty formalities when you see me in the future."

"Thank you, sister. Lingrong has just served the emperor in the night court. She cannot compare to your importance in the emperor's heart." The two talked for a while and then Shen Meizhuang left first because she had to take care of palace affairs.

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang's back as she left, and thought that Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were confined for a month at first, and the green chrysanthemum was awarded to Concubine Hua by the Emperor in advance, so Shen Meizhuang would not be fined a month's salary by Concubine Hua for being splashed with water in this life. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
