After Jinxi and the others came back, An Lingrong chatted with Zhen Huan for a few more words and then said it was getting late, so she got up and left.

Before leaving, she even whispered to Zhen Huan that she should wait for the Emperor tonight, which made Zhen Huan so embarrassed that she immediately drove him away.

As An Lingrong expected, the emperor did not turn over the card that night, and Huanbi did not go back. Even a fool would know what happened.

Sure enough, news came out the next day that Huanbi, who was beside Zhen Huan, became a concubine.

Because Huanbi was Zhen Huan's maidservant and looked a bit like Zhen Huan, the emperor directly promoted Huanbi to a concubine without starting as a court lady. She lived in Fanying Pavilion, where An Lingrong lived in her previous life, and lived in Suiyu Pavilion with Zhen Huan after returning to the palace.

From then on, there was one less maidservant named Huanbi by Zhen Huan's side, and one more maid named Huandaying was added in the palace.

The emperor originally thought that Huanbi was a bit confusing and wanted to give Huanbi a title. But Zhen Huan came forward and said that she wanted to take Huanbi as her adopted sister and serve the emperor as the second daughter of the Zhen family.

So Huanbi became Zhenying. Just like in her previous life, the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave her names that were written with the character "玉" instead of "女". However, Huanbi didn't dare to complain like she did in her previous life, because Zhen Huan was angry.

From that day on, the Zhen family had a second young lady named Zhen Yuyin, and there was also a tablet with the name "He Mianmian" engraved on it in the ancestral hall.

An Lingrong knew without even looking how rich the expressions of Zhen Huan and her mother were.

Maybe it was because it was new, or maybe the emperor wanted to know whether he was using Zhen Huan as a substitute or if he really had her in his heart. He kept looking at Huanbi's sign for two days.

On the third day, Baoyu brought back news that Zhen Huan had called Huanbi to Bitong Academy to talk behind closed doors. Half an hour later, Huanbi and Zhen Huan came out, with Huanbi's eyes red.

After that, the relationship between Huanbi and Zhen Huan seemed to have returned to normal, but An Lingrong knew that Zhen Huan was probably feeling a little uncomfortable. After all, Zhen Huan was in love with the emperor, and it would be strange for her to be happy if her own sister suddenly snatched her husband away.

However, Shen Meizhuang didn't know the inside story and thought that Huanbi had betrayed Zhen Huan, so she was not very happy towards Huanbi.

Liu Zhu was not happy with Huanbi's behavior, but after all, they grew up together, and Zhen Huan also forgave Huanbi, so she did not blame Huanbi too much, but she still felt uncomfortable. After all, in Liu Zhu's eyes, Huanbi, who was also a maid, had a good life, so why did she have to compete with Zhen Huan for her.

But Huanbi is not an ordinary maid. She should be the second lady of the Zhen family. Huanbi thinks that everything she has now is what she deserves.

After Zhen Yuandao learned about this, he wrote a letter to Zhen Huan, not only praising Zhen Huan for taking Huanbi as her sister, but also telling Zhen Huan not to be angry with Huanbi. After all, he was the one who was sorry for Huanbi and her daughter, and hoped that Zhen Huan would take good care of her. Besides, Huanbi was Zhen Huan's sister, so there was no reason for sisters to hold grudges against each other.

She also sent a lot of dowry to Huanbi, under the pretext that it would allow Huanbi to better help Zhen Huan. Zhen's mother couldn't say much, so she could only acquiesce, and in order to show her generosity, she also added some things to the dowry.

Although Huanbi was a palace maid who rose to power, she was adopted as an adopted daughter after all, and her family background was almost the same as that of An Lingrong's half-sister.

Thinking of his father An Lingrong, he was worried. The emperor followed An Bihuai and found several corrupt officials. But the emperor didn't say a word about his father's situation. The An family was terrified.

I learned from family letters that several concubines without children were planning to run away.

In her previous life, it was An Lingrong who felt uncomfortable seeing Huanbi wearing floating brocade. This time, it was Zhen Huan's own sister who shared a husband with her, and Zhen Huan felt uncomfortable.

The matter between the two of them is considered even.
