The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

The next day was Princess Wen Yi's first birthday banquet. An Lingrong adjusted her mood and reported to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang that she was safe.

The next morning, before going to Jiuzhou Qingyan, An Lingrong first went to Xianyue Pavilion. Zhen Huan was there too, so the three of them planned to go there together.

An Lingrong saw the hairpin on Shen Meizhuang's head and asked, "Sister, this hairpin looks nice, but was it given by the Queen Mother?"

Shen Meizhuang touched the hairpin happily and said: "Yes, you are right, it was a reward from the Queen Mother." An Lingrong's face changed and she said quickly: "Sister, please put the hairpin away and don't wear it." Seeing that An Lingrong was so nervous, the two of them asked what was going on.

"Bao Yu beside me always likes to ask for information. It is said that this hairpin was worn by the Queen Mother when she was pregnant with the Fourteenth Master. It is well known that the Emperor and the Fourteenth Master have a bad relationship. If my sister wears this hairpin, it may upset the Emperor."

When Shen Meizhuang heard what An Lingrong said, she hurriedly asked Cai Xing and Cai Yue to re-dress her and put away the hairpin that the empress dowager had given her.

"Thanks to Lingrong, your little girl named Baoyu is very smart and has helped me a lot now." Shen Meizhuang said gratefully.

"I'll go back and reward that girl then. It's getting late, let's get going."

The three of them came to Jiuzhou Qingyan. Because they were all nobles with titles now, An Lingrong, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang sat next to each other. The three of them chatted happily while waiting for the banquet to begin.

At the beginning of the banquet, Prince Guo killed two birds with one stone in front of Yinzhen, making the emperor suspicious of him. In order to express to the emperor that he just wanted to be a free and easy prince, he was late for the banquet.

The emperor looked at the position of Prince Guo and said, "I wonder what new thing this old Seventeen has seen that makes him unwilling to move and why he hasn't come yet."

"Your Majesty, you know Seventeenth Brother. He is the most casual and free-spirited." Prince Shen was still young and said naively.

The emperor nodded: "It's just a family dinner, and I've seen him skipping the feast in the past, so let him be."

In this life, Shen Meizhuang did not wear the hairpin awarded by the Empress Dowager because of An Lingrong's reminder, so Concubine Qi did not make trouble and was very calm.

But the Queen spoke up: "Noble Hui is pregnant now, so she should be most careful in the first three months. I heard that Noble Hui likes sour food now, so sour boys and spicy girls, this is a good sign."

"Yes, thank you very much for your concern, Her Majesty. However, I hope it's a princess, as cute as Wen Yi." Although Shen Meizhuang wanted a prince, after all, she would have someone to rely on, she absolutely could not say it in this kind of occasion.

When Concubine Cao heard what Shen Meizhuang said, she smiled. Everyone else thought it was because Shen Meizhuang praised Wen Yi for being cute and that she was happy as a mother. However, An Lingrong felt that Concubine Cao was mocking her. After all, Concubine Cao knew very well whether Shen Meizhuang could give birth to the child.

The wet nurse was coaxing the protagonist of today's banquet, Princess Wen Yi, when she suddenly heard the eunuch outside chanting: "The Concubine Duan has arrived!"

An Lingrong couldn't help but sigh as she watched Concubine Duan come in. She was indeed the daughter of a general. Although she looked sick, she made people respect her even though she had been lying in bed when she went to see her before. What's more, with the outfit she wore now, her aura instantly emerged after taking a few steps.

"I wish the emperor and the empress good health and happiness." The emperor looked at Concubine Duan expressionlessly and said, "Get up." "Thank you, Your Majesty."

An Lingrong was very confused. Is this emperor so good? The emperor smiled when he spoke to her. Although the emperor had no expression on his face, if you look closely, you can see that the guilt flashed in his eyes when he heard Concubine Duan.

Concubine Hua glared at Concubine Duan fiercely, and she must have cut her into pieces in her heart.

At this time, Concubine Duan turned her gaze to the new concubines. An Lingrong and Concubine Duan were quite familiar with each other. When Concubine Duan looked over, An Lingrong smiled and nodded, and Concubine Duan also smiled back.

But when she saw Zhen Huan, Concubine Duan was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to understand something and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty has found another beauty."

The Queen also understood what Concubine Duan meant and said with a smile: "Concubine Duan hasn't seen strangers for many years, so she still has the same vision as before."

"The sun is so hot outside, and you still rush over? It's just a child's birthday celebration, it's not a big deal." The emperor quickly ended the topic, obviously feeling a little guilty.

"It is a great joy that Wen Yi is one year old. I must come to congratulate her. I haven't seen Wen Yi for a long time." When Concubine Duan said this, the emperor instantly remembered that she had caused her to be childless.

"sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Duan came over and said, "The last time we met was when Princess Wen Yi was one month old." Concubine Duan said so, and Concubine Cao said, "Quickly bring the princess to show Her Majesty."

After being supported by Jixiang and sitting down, Concubine Duan said: "I really want to hug Wen Yi, but I don't have the strength and I'm afraid of dropping her." The emperor sitting upstairs felt even more guilty and remorseful after hearing this.

"Jixiang." Concubine Duan turned her head, and Jixiang immediately opened the box in his arms, and Concubine Duan took out a necklace from it.

When the emperor saw it, he said, "This necklace is your dowry. Wen Yi is still a child. How can you give her such a valuable thing?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory. It's a pity that I have been ill for many years. It would be a pity to keep her. Wen Yi is so cute. It would be perfect for her."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Wen Yi." Concubine Cao was naturally happy to see someone giving her daughter such an expensive gift.

An Lingrong looked at the extremely happy Cao Qinmo and said secretly in her heart: Why are you thanking me? From now on, your Wen Yi will belong to someone else.

Then the emperor nodded and lowered his head, no longer looking at Concubine Duan, the guilt in his eyes almost overflowing.

Concubine Duan, a shrewd person, also saw it, so she gave him a gift, said a few words, and left. After all, if you feel guilty once or twice, fortunately, you will become numb to it after many times.

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Duan's departing back and was worried that Concubine Duan would stand in Zhen Huan's team.
