The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

In the next few days, after An Lingrong finished embroidering the remaining two pieces in her room, she took Baoyu and Baoyu to Jinxiu Tower.

After coming out, An Lingrong suddenly thought of something, "What day is today?" Baoyu said, "Miss, today is August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival."

On the 15th of August, An Lingrong remembered that before Zhen Huan entered the palace, she would go to Shangshan Temple to burn incense on the 15th of every month. It was a good opportunity for her to go there and meet Zhen Huan. She had not seen Zhen Huan in these days since her rebirth, and she didn't know how to face her. Anyway, she would see her sooner or later, so she might as well go now.

Then the three of them called a carriage to Shangshan Temple. In the carriage, Baoyu said, "Miss, if you want to burn incense, I will change your hairstyle now."

An Lingrong thought about it and nodded. Although Baoyu was young, her makeup skills were quite impressive. She could perfectly cover up her shortcomings and show off her strengths.

After arriving at the temple, An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan as soon as she got off the carriage. Sister, An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan again, and their past gradually emerged in her mind, meeting, getting to know each other, and finally becoming enemies. An Lingrong took a deep breath and walked up the stairs. She would meet sooner or later anyway.

In front of the Buddha statue, An Lingrong knelt behind Zhen Huan, looking at her. She knew that Zhen Huan must be begging her to give up her loyalty. As proud as she was, she wanted to marry the best man in the world. But wasn't the emperor the best man in the world? And the most noble one.

At this moment, An Lingrong felt that Zhen Huan was hypocritical. She wanted the best man in the world but not the emperor. How could this be possible?

An Lingrong looked at the Buddha statue, thought for a moment, then closed her eyes, praying for her mother Lin Xiu's safety and a speedy recovery of her eyesight.

In fact, when An Lingrong was just reborn, she did think about quitting her job and going home. But what could she do if she went back? Her mother was simple-minded and had poor eyesight, and her father did not value her. If she entered the palace, her mother would be better off. If she did not, her father would probably give her to a superior to help him get promoted, and her mother would be unable to do anything except being sad. She could do nothing either.

Alas, An Lingrong's heart was suddenly filled with a sense of powerlessness.

After the blessing, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong both stood up and offered incense to the Buddha. Zhen Huan smiled and bowed to An Lingrong when she saw her. An Lingrong also bowed back. Zhen Huan generously donated a lot of incense money. An Lingrong counted, gritted her teeth, and donated five taels of silver.

After leaving the temple, Zhen Huan suddenly said, "I have never seen you in the capital before. You have a very good temperament. May I ask which family you are from?"

An Lingrong calmed herself down and said to Zhen Huan, "My father is An Bihuai, the magistrate of Songyang County. I came to the capital to participate in the palace selection. I heard that the temple here is effective, so I came here to burn incense."

"I see. Then I wish you all the best."

"Sister also wishes sister all her wishes come true." The two greeted each other again, chatted for a few words and left.

When leaving, An Lingrong saw Wen Shichu coming with something in his hand. An Lingrong felt strange, so she stood behind a tree to listen to what was going on.

When An Lingrong heard Wen Shichu expressing his feelings to Zhen Huan and taking out his family heirloom jade pot and wanting to give it to Zhen Huan, she couldn't help but sigh: He treated people outside the palace without permission, proposed to a concubine who had not yet participated in the selection, and had an affair with Shen Meiyu and gave birth to a daughter. Wen Shichu looked quite honest, but nothing he did was honest.

An Lingrong couldn't help thinking, Zhen Huan is really popular, Doctor Wen, Prince Guo, the Emperor, it seems that all the men who have seen her are attracted to her.

An Lingrong felt the jealousy she had felt for Zhen Huan coming back to her. Alas, Zhen Huan was really something to be envied. Feeling bitter, An Lingrong hurriedly called a taxi back to the inn.

After An Lingrong returned to the inn, she counted the silver she currently had in her hand, and found that she still had about two hundred and sixty taels.

At that time, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict twice would be rewarded, once when he brought the aunt in, and again when she left.

An Lingrong thought that in her previous life, she was led by two eunuchs. This time, since she had a maid, only one would be arranged. So the eunuch who led the way would be rewarded once, and then the maid arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs would also have to be rewarded, and the eunuch who arranged the maid would have to be rewarded even more. This time, the innkeeper would also have to be rewarded. Alas, it's all money.

After calculating this and buying medicine and spices, there is not much left. Fortunately, I will stay at Zhen Huan's house temporarily later, otherwise it will be another expense.

Thinking of Zhen Huan's parents, An Lingrong recalled that in her previous life, she bribed the jailer out of jealousy and became a rat in the prison, causing Zhen Huan's father to be infected with the plague. However, she did not benefit from it in the end. Her deeds of harming Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were exposed, resulting in An Bihuai being sentenced to death.

Alas, retribution.
