After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 20: Hua Fei's people are coming

An Lingrong asked without comment: "Really?"

Will she ever have such a day? She doesn't have the noble birth and eyebrows of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. How can she win the emperor's favor in the six palaces?

After returning to Mingseju in Changsheng Palace, An Lingrong had a gloomy face.

Baojuan was standing up for the injustice, "Since Shen Guiren and Wan Changzai have won the emperor's favor, why don't they mention the young lady's name to the emperor and let the emperor favor the young lady?"

This is also what An Lingrong wanted to ask.

She said coldly: "I think the two sisters also have their own difficulties."

Bao Juan snorted coldly: "What's the difficulty? It's just a suggestion."

An Lingrong clenched her handkerchief tightly and said nothing more.

In the evening, the emperor had dinner in Jingren Palace as usual. Because he arrived early, he was still having dinner when the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the names of the ladies.

The emperor put down the bowl in his hand and quickly moved his hand across the sign.

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty should treat everyone equally. An Lingrong has been in the palace for a long time, but she has never slept with you."

The emperor took one look and had no impression of the name, as if he had never seen her name card before, so he casually said, "That's her."

An Lingrong was doing embroidery with Baojuan for her own use. When the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department happily informed the Emperor that he had turned over An Lingrong's name card, An Lingrong almost got herself stabbed by the needle.

"Is this true, father-in-law?"

"Of course it's true. My lady, please get ready quickly. We will be here in the evening." The eunuch smiled so much that his eyes almost narrowed into a line.

An Lingrong felt like she was dreaming. She was arranged to take a bath, wrapped in a quilt, and carried into Fengluan's special car.

"Your Majesty, even that lowly An Lingrong has been picked!" Song Zhi said to Concubine Hua sourly.

Hua Fei had read half of "Zuo Zhuan" and felt sleepy. She yawned and said, "Help me undress."

Seeing that Concubine Hua didn't care at all, Song Zhi became even more angry, "Your Majesty, An Lingrong has been picked!"

Hua Fei slammed the book shut. "I am not deaf! But your ears are getting worse! You can't hear anything I ask you to do!"

Songzhi's face turned pale with fear. "I know I was wrong. I will help you undress and go to bed right away."

Seeing Songzhi looking so aggrieved, Concubine Hua couldn't bear it anymore.

"I know you are worried about me. But as the emperor's woman, shouldn't I be prepared for him to have more women and favor other women? Besides, you think it's a good thing that An Lingrong is favored, but it's not necessarily true. In this world, fortune and disaster go hand in hand."

Although she didn't understand why Concubine Hua suddenly changed, Songzhi nodded because she was loyal to her.

"That's what the Queen said."

Inside the Jingren Palace, Jiang Fuhai said, "Your Majesty, An Yingda has been carried out in one piece."

The queen almost spit out the tea she drank.

"How could this be?"

Jiang Fuhai said with a look of pity and gloating, "I heard from the eunuchs in the Yangxin Palace that An Da Ying was so nervous that her whole body was shaking. The emperor was upset when he saw her, so he had her carried back intact."

Jianqiu covered her mouth and laughed, "She's just like a country girl who has never seen the world!"

Jiang Fuhai also agreed, "Isn't it?"

The queen said with great regret: "This is her fate."

The news that An Lingrong was carried back to Mingseju intact soon spread throughout the six palaces and became a laughing stock.

Songzhi informed Concubine Hua about this matter.

"Your Majesty, it is just as you said, fortune and disaster are related. This Concubine An was picked out of the spot, and instead of being favored, she was ridiculed by everyone in the harem."

Zhou Ninghai also laughed and said, "An Da Ying originally came from a humble background and should not have received so much favor. He deserves to be carried out."

Thinking of An Lingrong's methods in the previous life, Concubine Hua ordered: "You can only say these words in front of me, but don't spread them outside, especially don't let An Lingrong hear them."

Songzhi was a little confused.

"My queen, we are not the only ones saying this. Everyone in the harem is saying this."

Hua Fei shouted: "Others can say what they say, but people in Yikun Palace are not allowed to say it. Do you understand?"

It was okay at night, at least An Lingrong didn't have to meet so many people, but at dawn, she had to face the mocking gazes and words of the palace maids and eunuchs.

Baojuan stood up for An Lingrong. "These servants who look down on others are really despicable. After all, you are the mistress too!"

An Lingrong smiled bitterly, "A young lady without favor in this deep palace is worse than a servant!"

The master and the servant were about to turn around and go back to Mingse Residence when a voice came from behind them, "An promised to stay."

An Lingrong turned around, saw the person coming, and said with a smile, "Aunt Jianqiu."

Jian Qiu looked regretful, "The Queen said that last night she advised the Emperor to treat everyone equally, but she never thought that she would mess up the good thing."

An Lingrong's eyebrows relaxed slightly, "So it was the Queen last night! I would like to thank the Queen for her support...but, it's just that I failed the Queen's kindness."

Jianqiu handed a piece of satin in her hand to An Lingrong, "My lady, don't be discouraged. There is still a long way to go."

An Lingrong nodded gratefully and watched Jianqiu leave.

"Your Majesty, I just saw An Lingrong talking to Jianqiu. They looked very friendly." Songzhi had just returned from outside and told Concubine Hua the news.

Concubine Hua smiled faintly, "The queen is kind and virtuous. I think she felt sorry for An Da Ying and went to comfort her."

This is not consolation at all, it is giving a sweet date after a slap in the face, helping someone in need. Concubine Hua knows the Queen's methods too well.

"The Queen has given gifts to An Lingrong, so I will follow her example. Songzhi, pick out a nice headdress and send it to Mingseju."

Songzhi refused.

"My lady, how can An accompany you to deliver something to her?"

Zhou Ninghai also said "Pah" at the side, "I also think that An Da Ying is not worthy! Look at her poor appearance, it makes me sick, I want to go up and slap her a few times!"

Listening to the words of her two confidants, Concubine Hua rubbed her temples with a headache. It was all her fault for being spoiled and domineering, and the servants just followed their master's example.

"Shut up!" Hua Fei shouted, "You are so unruly. I have spoiled you too much on weekdays! You are becoming more and more unruly in your speech!"

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai looked at each other and shut their mouths.

Hua Fei continued, "No matter how humble An Ying is, she is still the emperor's woman! You are talking about the emperor's woman behind his back like this. This is a crime of insubordination and you will be beaten to death! In the final analysis, it is still my fault. No matter how I teach you, you will never learn it."

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai both knelt on the ground and kowtowed to confess their guilt.

"My lady, I know I was wrong!"

"My lady, I know I was wrong!"

When Concubine Hua saw that the two realized their mistakes, she sent them to Mingseju to deliver the things.

"Remember, keep your attitude straight!"

"Yes, ma'am."

An Lingrong had just sat down when Baojuan ran in panicked, "My lady, it's bad! Concubine Hua's people are here!"
