The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

"Fuzi is dead?" The queen frowned slightly.

"It was already swollen when it was found in the well." Jiang Fuhai answered truthfully, causing Jianqiu to give him a sharp look.

"Hua Fei is so arrogant. It's also Fu Zi's fault that she is useless. Jianqiu, give some silver to her family. Jiang Fuhai, go to Hua Fei's palace and ask how the person I gave her could appear in the well?" The Queen rubbed her temples gently and instructed Jiang Fuhai repeatedly.

After Jiang Fuhai left, the queen continued to move her hands, as if chatting with Jianqiu casually: "The new bride will serve in the bedchamber, and it's time for other flowers to bloom in this palace."

Jianqiu responded: "Yes, how can a flower stand out alone?"

An Lingrong looked at the two bowls of slightly cool medicine in front of her, raised her hand, picked up one bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The medicine tasted slightly sour and astringent. She carefully verified the theory of medicine and then said to Noble Lady Fucha: "This medicine is not bitter. Sister Fucha, drink it quickly."

It was the first time that Noble Lady Fucha saw such a generous way of drinking medicine. She thought An Lingrong was frank and cute, so she followed her example and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Rendong took the medicine bowl away, and when she returned to An Lingrong, she nodded at her.

An Lingrong immediately stood up and said goodbye to Fu Chagui: "Too many things happened today, and Sister Fu Cha was too exhausted. After taking the medicine, you should sleep for a while. It's always good to rest your mind. Lingrong will also go back to sleep for a while."

Noble Lady Fucha smiled and said, "I was born in a military family. In my spare time, I followed my father to ride horses and hunt. Today's work is not tiring at all. But you are weak. You should take good care of yourself. Go now."

After returning to Le Dao Tang, Ren Dong saw that there was no one around, so she said softly to An Lingrong, "My lady, I think Noble Lady Fucha treats you sincerely. This is better than being alone."

An Lingrong sighed, "Yes, hearts are exchanged for hearts. People in a palace should support each other. No matter how good others are, they will not share the same heart and mind, let alone the same path."

In her previous life, she really didn't understand the ways of the world. As soon as she entered the palace, she clung to Zhen Huan and the others, and never tried to be nice to Noble Lady Fucha who lived with her. Zhen Huan offended so many people when she was in great favor. Others didn't want to cause trouble for Zhen Huan, but they would not be polite to An Lingrong, who was not favored, so they naturally took their anger out on her.

Rendong glanced around again and saw that there was indeed no one around, so she quietly handed An Lingrong a bag.

An Lingrong has always been meticulous in her work. Although there is no strange smell in the medicine, there are many conflicting herbs in the prescription, so she has to check it carefully before she can feel at ease.

Seeing her carefully searching through the medicine, Honeysuckle couldn't help but ask, "My lady, are you worried that someone has poisoned the medicine?"

An Lingrong taught Ren Dong seriously, "Only fools would use poison that takes effect immediately. What we are afraid of is that there are things in the herbs that counteract each other. Over a long period of time, they will slowly penetrate and naturally harm people."

Rendong was very smart. She didn't ask An Lingrong why she knew all this. She just stood aside quietly with her hands hanging down and learned seriously.

After making sure everything was alright, she handed the medicine residue to Honeysuckle: "These medicines have only been boiled once. Although they have lost some of their medicinal properties, they are still useful. You should put them away properly."

After saying this, An Lingrong looked around Le Dao Hall and said softly, "This place is still too small."

Ledao Hall is made up of three small rooms. The outer room is a small restaurant, and the inner room is a rest area connected to the dormitory. The room will be full if you put some things in it, let alone live in it.

Ren Dong comforted An Lingrong: "My lady, if you win the first prize tomorrow, maybe you can move to a more spacious residence."

An Lingrong chuckled: "It's not that easy to change residence. Go find that piece of brocade and we will make two heater covers tonight."

An Lingrong recalled her past life. On the day when new concubines were allowed to sleep with the emperor, Zhen Huan fell ill. What a coincidence, otherwise, with her appearance, she would have been the first person to sleep with the emperor. Something else must have happened on this day in her past life, something that made Zhen Huan feel scared and beyond her control, so she fell ill.

On the afternoon of the second day, the palace received news that Zhen Huan was ill. Noble Lady Fucha took the initiative to find An Lingrong and said, "Sister An, Concubine Wan must have been too frightened yesterday. Let's go and take a look."

An Lingrong was naturally more than happy to do so, so she took Rendong with her and followed Noble Lady Fucha to Suiyuxuan.

"Good luck to the two young ladies. Thank you for coming to visit. It's just that my young lady has a high fever now. The imperial physician said that the weather is bad now and she is experiencing alternating hot and cold temperatures. We are afraid that she may infect other young ladies, so she needs to rest in isolation. Please follow me to the small flower hall for tea." Huanbi was polite to the two of them while standing in the courtyard, but the implicit meaning of her words was that they should not come into the room to visit.

Noble Lady Fucha said nonchalantly, "We came here unintentionally. Your young lady is ill, so we won't disturb her."

An Lingrong also said politely, "Please ask Miss Huanbi to give our regards to your young mistress. We will come to visit her again when Concubine Wan gets better."

Huanbi bowed and said, "I will pass on the message when my young mistress wakes up. Take care, young mistresses."

Noble Lady Fucha did not take Zhen Huan's illness seriously. As soon as she left the Suiyu Pavilion, she said to An Lingrong, "We have to pass Changchun Palace when we go back from here. My family has an old relationship with Concubine Qi's family. Why don't you come with me to her palace to have a cup of tea?"

An Lingrong was a smart person and refused: "Sister Fucha, Lingrong learned a new pattern last night and wanted to embroider it today."

Noble Lady Fucha looked at An Lingrong knowingly, and took Sang'er to Changchun Palace through a shortcut, while An Lingrong took Rendong back to Yanxi Palace along the original route.

"Honeysuckle, do you see anything?"

"The begonias in Suiyuxuan don't have any buds at this time of year, and there's still some dirt around the begonia pots that hasn't been swept clean."

"You mean there was something buried under the begonia, and it's just been discovered now?"

"That should be the case, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for so many osmanthus flowers to cover up the smell."

"During this period of time, you should pay more attention to Sui Yuxuan."

"This slave has taken note of it."

Just after dinner, the eunuch from the Jingshifang came to Ledao Hall with the Siqinmai, smiling, and started to congratulate: "Congratulations, An, the emperor turned over the sign that promised you tonight. You are the first one among the new ladies who have entered the palace to be favored by the emperor."

An Lingrong thought to herself that the Queen was really impatient and indeed arranged for her to be the first one to sleep with her.
