The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

A few days later, it was reported that the emperor had caught a cold while standing in the rain in the imperial garden. Hua Fei naturally would not let anyone else serve the emperor, so she took care of the emperor alone until he recovered.

An Lingrong couldn't help but sigh that Concubine Hua really loved the emperor. Alas, the two people in the harem who truly loved the emperor were prevented from having children by the emperor's design.

It’s a pity for the two infatuated concubines, Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan.

The first thing the emperor did was to go to the Imperial Garden to find Zhen Huan. That afternoon, it was reported that Yu was demoted to an official woman and moved out of Zhongcui Palace, and was promoted to Wan Guiren in Suiyuxuan. She was taken back to Suiyuxuan by the emperor.

During those two days, there were continuous rewards from Sui Yuxuan, and for a while, Zhen Huan became the most envied person in the harem. After all, it was the first time that she was promoted to a higher rank without having to sleep with the emperor.

A few days later, the emperor ordered that Zhen Huan be given hot spring bathing and took Zhen Huan to the Tangquan Palace with her alone. An Lingrong knew that Shen Meiyu must be feeling bad at this time, so she asked Bao Yu to bring some snacks to visit Shen Meiyu.

After they exchanged a few pleasantries at Cunju Hall, An Lingrong said, "Sister Mei, do you know that the emperor took sister Wan to the Tangquan Palace?"

Speaking of this, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help feeling a little lonely: "Of course I know. I'm also very happy that Huan'er is favored. It's a good thing that you two are favored by the emperor. Rather than someone else, I would rather it be you."

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang and couldn't help but wonder, is this the daughter of a big family? Even if she was jealous, she could only hide it in her heart.

"Sister Mei, do you know that when the Emperor first proposed to go to the hot spring palace, he didn't want to take Sister Wan alone. He also wanted to take the Queen, but the Queen claimed to be ill and declined, so the Emperor only took Sister Wan with him."

Shen Meizhuang was shocked: "There is such a thing?"

Afterwards, Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment, then looked up and said: "The Queen wants to make Huan'er a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the harem." An Lingrong nodded. Shen Meizhuang was indeed a lady from a noble family, so there was no need for her to say it explicitly.

"Now Sister Wan has gone to the hot spring palace with the emperor. We can only remind Sister Wan to be careful when we come back." After hearing An Lingrong's words, Shen Meizhuang nodded, her eyes full of worry for Zhen Huan.

Seeing this, An Lingrong couldn't help but envy their relationship.

Shen Meizhuang was raised in her maternal grandparents' home, which was only separated from the Zhen family by a wall. The two had similar family backgrounds. Although one was a scholar and the other a martial artist, they were both ladies from prominent families and could talk and play together.

Normally, when two children are together, they are inevitably compared. Zhen Huan is slightly better than Shen Meizhuang in terms of talent and knowledge, while Shen Meizhuang is slightly better than Zhen Huan in terms of virtue.

It was also a coincidence that the emperor was impressed by Zhen Huan's talent, and the queen mother liked Shen Meizhuang's virtue. In addition, Zhen Huan was good at dancing, so Shen Meizhuang learned to play the piano, which was just right to accompany Zhen Huan's dance.

Wasn't that the Jinghong Dance back then? Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan sensed something was up, so Shen Meizhuang took the initiative to ask her to sing, she would play the piano, and Zhen Huan would dance as a trio. Although Concubine Hua finally regained her favor with Loudong Fu, fortunately the three of them did not lose.

An Lingrong couldn't help but think that in fact, it would have been fine if only Shen Meizhuang had accompanied Zhen Huan at that time, but because she had never been favored at that time, they probably wanted to help her at that time.

After the two of them had discussed it, An Lingrong left. After all, Shen Meiyu still had palace affairs to deal with. Before leaving, An Lingrong thought about it and turned around to give Shen Meiyu a few words of advice.

Try not to be too conspicuous and protect yourself. Shen Meizhuang also nodded to indicate that she would be careful, and asked An Lingrong to pay attention to the plots of people in the palace, as she also had to be the godmother of the child in her belly.
