The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

After An Lingrong's secret arrangements, Huanbi thought that she was not pretty enough. Based on the beauty recipe that An Lingrong deliberately leaked, Baoyu brought back the news that Huanbi had been paying much attention to maintenance recently.

An Lingrong nodded, then took out a prescription. She halved the dosage of the prescription. Although it could guarantee pregnancy, it could not guarantee whether it was a boy or a girl, and it was also uncertain whether she would be able to have children in the future.

But there was no need to worry about it, since she wasn't going to drink it herself. An Lingrong gave the recipe to Baoyu and asked Baoyu to find the right opportunity and work with Wei Lin to let Huanbi see the recipe.

Baoyu is smart and sociable, so it's perfect for her to do this job.

After giving the instructions, An Lingrong stopped caring about anything else. Chaogui's coming-of-age ceremony would be soon. No matter how much she, Huanbi, wanted to marry into a rich and powerful family, she had to wait until after the ceremony. No one could ruin Chaogui's birthday.

Fortunately, Huanbi did not find an opportunity during this period. Chaogui's coming-of-age ceremony was very grand. Those officials saw the emperor's importance to Princess Chaogui. Although the prince consorts of the Qing Dynasty could become officials, they were mainly from the Mongolian and Manchu ethnic groups, and very few Han people could marry a princess.

So those Mongolian and Manchu officials recommended their own sons openly or secretly, but Chao Gui didn't like them. The emperor told her not to worry and to take her time to choose, as the blueprint of the princess's mansion had been drawn and it would take at least a year to build.

Since they were in the capital anyway, Concubine Guo did not urge her daughter to settle down quickly. Although An Lingrong was afraid that something might go wrong, since her own mother hadn't said anything, An Lingrong couldn't say anything.

After Princess Chaogui's issue was resolved, the next issue was Huanbi.

An Lingrong picked a time to go to Bitong Academy. Those beauty recipes really worked. After not seeing Huanbi for a few days, she looked much prettier now.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan sat together discussing needlework. After a while, An Lingrong made the excuse that she was greedy and asked Bao Yu to ask the kitchen to make a portion of Sun Ni'e Fen white cake.

Zhen Huan was very curious and asked what kind of pastry it was. Of course, Zhen Huan didn't know that this was a pastry from the hometown of Empress Fucha during Emperor Qianlong's reign. In order for Empress Fucha to eat it, Hongli specially arranged for 25 cows to milk it.

Although this pastry has been around for a long time, it was not introduced into the palace until the reign of Emperor Qianlong because of Empress Fucha. An Lingrong said that she had read in a travelogue a few days ago that this was a Manchu-style dish.

The Manchus lived outside the Great Wall, where the climate was cold and they needed to supplement their calories, which directly made them particularly fond of high-calorie foods. Sunni'efen white cake is one of them.

However, making this pastry requires fresh milk. If An Lingrong had not been pregnant and Wei Lin had not said that he needed fresh milk, the emperor would have arranged a cow for him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to make this pastry.

After the cakes were served, Zhen Huan also tasted a bite out of curiosity and couldn't help but praise it: "Well, this cake tastes sweet but not greasy, and it leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth. It is soft and tempting in the mouth."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Since my sister is pregnant, she is always greedy, so when she has nothing to do, she will look through travel notes to find something delicious." Zhen Huan teased, "Then if Meijie and I get pregnant in the future, we don't have to look for delicious food, because you have found it for us."

After the two talked and laughed for a while, An Lingrong made an excuse that she had some delicious pastries. When Zhen Huan heard this, she also said that she would make some and send them to Chun'er, as she liked pastries the most.

An Lingrong took the opportunity to send away Jingxi, Liuzhu, and Baoyu who were beside her, and only left Huanbi here.

When An Lingrong thought the time was about right, she said, "The emperor's biological mother and adoptive mother are both Manchus, and this snack is also something the Manchus like. How about we send this plate of snacks to the emperor?"

Zhen Huan thought about it and agreed. Since the others had been sent away in advance, this task naturally fell on Huanbi.

Huanbi was naturally happy to see the emperor. When she finished packing the cakes and was ready to leave, An Lingrong said, "You don't have to go too early. Just walk slowly." Then she looked at Zhen Huan and pretended to think for a moment and said, "The emperor should be reading memorials at this time."

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, the emperor has to read memorials for six or seven hours every day, and he should still be busy at this time." Then she looked at Huanbi and said: "Go slowly on the way, don't be too anxious."

Huanbi agreed and went out with the food box. After a while, An Lingrong looked up slightly and saw Xiao Linzi nodded at the door. Humph, she knew that since there was plenty of time, Huanbi would definitely dress up before going, and maybe even drink the medicine.

An Lingrong had evil thoughts at this time, so she said to Zhen Huan with a smile: "The emperor sees that you are so considerate, maybe he will turn over your card tonight." Zhen Huan blushed when she heard what An Lingrong said, but she was also looking forward to it. After all, An Lingrong was pregnant, and the emperor would definitely come to her.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan's shy look and thought to herself: Go ahead and smile, we'll see if you can come out smiling tomorrow.

An Lingrong thought that if Huanbi successfully became a concubine, Zhen Yuandao would definitely want Zhen Huan to adopt her as her sister. After all, Zhen's father and the daughter of the traitor had a deep relationship.

He also felt that he owed Huanbi. It was not easy for Huanbi to have a good marriage. Huanbi was the most noble person in the world. Zhen Yuandao must be very happy to have two daughters serving the emperor.

Oh, I am really looking forward to seeing Zhen Huan's expression tomorrow. Huanbi, Huanbi, the food is already in front of your mouth, you must know how to open your mouth.
