The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

That afternoon, everyone in the palace learned that Yu Ying'er had offended Princess Chaogui in the Imperial Garden and was slapped in the face.

When the emperor found out about it, he gave some ointment and said a few words of comfort, and also spoke to Princess Chaogui in a neutral tone, and the matter was over.

But Princess Chaogui was not convinced. The next day, she came to An Lingrong's palace and could not help complaining: "I don't know what my brother likes about that bitch. This bitch is so treacherous and even said that Sister An's child is yours, but my brother actually let her go."

"Well, Yu is now a favorite of the emperor. Besides, she was born a palace maid. You don't have to worry about losing your status if you argue with her." An Lingrong handed over a cup of tea and comforted him: "Besides, Yu is so arrogant, she will get retribution sooner or later."

An Lingrong comforted Princess Chaogui for a long time before she felt better. After saying a few words of concern to An Lingrong, she went back.

Because Yu Ying'er spoke up for Princess Chaogui on behalf of the Emperor, she became increasingly arrogant. Sometimes she even sang Kunqu opera all night long, which not only caused complaints from the entire palace, but no one could say anything.

An Lingrong calculated that the time should be almost up. Sure enough, within two days, Chun Changzai came running in crying. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang happened to be there too. Chun Changzai felt even more aggrieved when she saw the three older sisters, and she hugged An Lingrong and cried.

The three of them hurried to comfort Chun'er and asked what happened. "Okay, okay, stop crying. You've cried like a kitten. What happened? Talk to your sisters."

After saying this, Zhen Huan turned around and told the maid to pour a cup of milk tea for Chun Changzai.

Then Chun Er said in a tearful voice, "Just now, Sister Xin Changzai and I were returning to the palace. Unexpectedly, the paper lantern in the hand of the palace maid was blown by the wind and caught fire. It happened that Yu Da Ying came over in the Fengluan Chun En carriage. The horse driving the carriage was frightened and shocked Yu Da Ying. But I saw it clearly at the time. The imperial horses are well-trained and the shock was not a problem at all. But Yu Da Ying was relentless and Sister Xin Changzai was not too polite when she spoke."

"This is an elder person close to the emperor. He is older than Yu Da Ying in terms of seniority. There is no need for him to be respectful to Yu Da Ying." Jin Xi who was beside Zhen Huan said.

Chun Er wiped her tears and said, "Yu Da Ying is favored and has the support of Concubine Hua, so she has always been powerful. Sister Xin was already unhappy, and as a result, the two of them started arguing. Yu Da Ying got angry and had Sister Xin imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment."

Everyone was shocked. Even if Yu Ying'er had the title of Madam Miaoyin, her status was still lower than that of Xin Changzai. What's more, Xin Changzai had a daughter. Yu Da Ying's quarrel with Xin Changzai was already an infraction, and she even put him in the Ministry of Punishment.

In the harem, there is an order of hierarchy. An Lingrong remembered what Hua Fei said in her previous life: a concubine is a concubine, a noble concubine is a noble concubine, and those who are inferior to her must be obedient and not disobey.

In the harem, a higher-ranking official can crush someone. Concubine Xin not only has a higher position than Yu Ying'er, but also a title, and is much more noble than Yu Ying'er. "Didn't the Emperor and Empress ask about this?" Zhen Huan asked in confusion.

Chun Er shook her head: "I promised that if I disturb the Emperor and Empress, I will question the Chief of the Ministry of Punishment."

"I've never heard of Yu being so arrogant." Huanbi, who was beside Zhen Huan, couldn't help but say.

"This Yu is really arrogant. I met her on the palace road before and she was even more rude to me. Moreover, she was sitting in the sedan chair and talking to me the whole time without any etiquette or rules." Shen Meizhuang was also dissatisfied with Yu Ying'er.

"Isn't it? Her sudden rise to favor has already made many concubines dissatisfied. Now she is so unruly. Isn't this courting death?" Jing Xi, who was beside Zhen Huan, was an old hand in the palace. Even she sneered at Yu's behavior.

"That's right. A few days ago, I ran into her in the Imperial Garden with Noble Lady Fucha and Princess Chaogui. She was also rude. In the end, it was Princess Chaogui who revealed her identity and punished her. But within two days, the Emperor sent her a plaster to comfort her. Now, this Yu family is getting more and more arrogant."

But after all, Yu was favored, and none of them could do anything about her, so they could only comfort poor Chun'er, and after Chun'er recovered, they all returned to the palace.

Sure enough, within a few days, news came out that Yu Da Ying was stripped of her title by the Empress Dowager and was punished to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion for half a month.

Inside the Sui Yu Xuan, Zhen Huan asked curiously: "How come the Emperor and Empress didn't say anything, but it was the Queen Mother's order?"

Shen Meizhuang explained: "The emperor was busy with government affairs and didn't care about such trivial matters. The queen happened to be in the queen dowager's palace so the queen dowager knew about it."

After hearing this, An Lingrong said, "This queen is really scheming. Yu Ying is in favor right now. If the queen punishes her now, the emperor may ask for mercy. If she doesn't punish her or punishes her too lightly, the queen's dignity will be damaged. If she punishes her too heavily, the relationship between the emperor and the queen will be damaged. It would be better for the queen mother to come forward."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang both nodded. If it were in the past, they would have thought it was impossible, but now that they knew the Queen was not a good person, they would not think so.

But An Lingrong knew clearly that it would not be long before Yu would regain her favor. In the few days before that, she had to be careful, as it was inevitable that someone would try to take advantage of her belly.
