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

When An Lingrong was preparing to leave.

Xiao Xiazi stepped forward and greeted An Lingrong: "My Lady An, the Emperor has asked for a sedan chair to be prepared for you. I will send someone to take you to Jingren Palace right away."

If I really took a sedan chair, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to deal with today.

An Lingrong gently waved her hand at him: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. It's still early, so there's no need to rush. Walking can stretch your muscles, so there's no need to bother."

Inside the Jingren Palace, the Queen was dressed very luxuriously today. She sat at the head of the table, holding up a teacup and sniffing the fragrant tea.

Hua Fei, the concubine sitting at the head of the right side, looked at An Lingrong with arrogance as she saluted the Queen.

An Lingrong bowed respectfully to the empress: "Your servant An pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

The Queen smiled and said in a gentle voice, "We are sisters. There is no need for such a big ceremony. The Emperor has elevated you to a higher position, which shows that you have served him very well. You need to serve him more attentively in the future and give birth to an heir for the royal family as soon as possible. I will reward you handsomely then." Having said that, she did not let An Lingrong stand up. She only ordered Jianqiu to take out the reward that had been prepared long ago, which was a pile of gold, silver, jewellery, fabrics and accessories. Among them was a jade ruyi, which was carved from a whole piece of seed material. The jade was white and warm, and it was obviously a treasure at first glance.

Concubine Qi looked at the pile of rewards and said sarcastically, "An Changzai is so lucky. She was favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace. The queen also values ​​you so much. If you really get pregnant in the future, I wonder what kind of honor and favor you will get?"

Noble Lady Fucha frowned and called out to Concubine Qi softly, "Sister Qi."

Concubine Qi glanced at Fu Cha and said to her, "I am congratulating An Changzai on her promotion, and I am also reminding her not to forget her duties. I am saying these two words for her own good."

An Lingrong still maintained her salute to the Queen, and could only turn sideways and bow to Concubine Qi: "I will remember Concubine Qi's teachings."

Hua Fei, who had been standing by with an impatient look on her face, suddenly said, "Hmph! An, you said the other day that you dared not disobey my teachings, but why do you have to remember Qi Fei's teachings today? Could it be that you were just trying to please me the other day?"

When Concubine Cao saw Concubine Hua speak, her eyes flashed slightly. She understood that although Concubine Hua would win over An Lingrong, she was still angry that she was the first to sleep with him. If she didn't let her vent her anger, she would be the one to suffer when she returned to Yikun Palace. It was better to let her vent so that An Lingrong would understand her situation and it would be easier to win her over. Therefore, she said nothing.

"Your Majesty Hua, you are in charge of the six palaces and have the duty to teach the concubines, but Lingrong dare not disobey your orders, so I dare not disobey Your Majesty. Your Majesty's teaching is like that of an elder sister teaching her younger sister at home, so Lingrong will remember it carefully." An Lingrong spoke after careful consideration.

"It turns out that I was wrong. Concubine An is also a sharp-tongued person. The days from now on will be lively. Your Majesty, I still have palace affairs to take care of, so I will take my leave first." Concubine Hua stood up, bowed slightly to the Queen, winked at Song Zhi, and prepared to leave leisurely.

An Lingrong once again turned sideways to see Concubine Hua off, but unexpectedly Song Zhi twisted her foot and leaned towards An Lingrong. An Lingrong was unable to dodge and was pounced on by Song Zhi. She became Song Zhi's meat cushion and her internal organs were hurt.

"An Changzai, I didn't mean it. The soles of my shoes were loose and Miss An's clothes were too slippery. I accidentally stepped on the corner of her clothes and lost my balance, causing her to fall. Please forgive me, An Changzai." Song Zhi struggled to get up from An Lingrong, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and apologized.

This sudden change shocked all the concubines. They didn't expect that Concubine Hua would let her personal maid humiliate An Lingrong in public like this. She was really not shy at all.

Noble Lady Fucha and Concubine Jing were the first to react. They immediately reached out to pull An Lingrong up from the ground. Seeing that her clothes were wrinkled and her hair was messed up, they looked at Song Zhi with dissatisfaction.

Hua Fei had a smile in her eyes but she was scolding Song Zhi: "How can you walk, you fool? An Changzai is the apple of the emperor's eye. You, a servant of this palace, acted so unsafely. You fell down and caused An Changzai to fall to the ground. You should kneel here and apologize to An Changzai."

The Queen stood up from her chair and showed concern for An Lingrong: "Quickly send the imperial physician to see if An Changzai is injured." Then she changed the subject: "Sister, what you said is not true. If Songzhi's shoe sole is really loose, we will know if someone examines it. Otherwise, it is a deliberate attempt to murder the concubine. We need to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough investigation."

When Songzhi heard this, she was so frightened that she kept kowtowing to the queen: "Queen, I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me."

An Lingrong understood clearly that the Queen was taking the opportunity to make a big deal out of it. If she could send Songzhi to the Ministry of Punishment to embarrass Concubine Hua, that would be great. If not, she could win the Queen's favor and that of the other concubines, and further solidify Concubine Hua's reputation of being arrogant and vicious. The two of them would use her as a raft to fight against each other, and no matter who won or lost, she would have a hard time. There was still a lot of time left, and she would not fight or get angry, as she would get what she wanted eventually.

Hua Fei held up the hairpins on her temples and said, "It is said that the Empress is the most tolerant and kind. Why do you want to send me to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment? The Empress's rule is specifically aimed at me. If this is the case, I will go to the Emperor to seek justice."

Hua Fei's attitude instantly turned the Queen's face cold: "Because she is your maidservant, I should investigate it thoroughly, lest some ignorant people spread rumors that this girl took advantage of my favor and dared to bully the concubines. Wouldn't that ruin my reputation for nothing?"

Hua Fei smiled even more: "Whether there are villains or not, it depends on how you deal with them. Besides, I am never afraid of these villains' tricks, otherwise the emperor would not give me the power to assist in the six palaces. Songzhi accidentally bumped into An Changzai today, and I will give An Changzai an explanation. Songzhi, you acted rashly, and I will fine you half a year's salary to An Changzai for recuperation. Is the queen satisfied with your sister's handling?"

Concubine Hua mentioned the emperor in every sentence. The queen didn't know how to respond, so she smiled and threw the question to An Lingrong: "An Changzai, are you injured? If so, I will definitely seek justice for you."

An Ling tolerated the pain and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. The carpet in Jingren Palace is soft. I am not injured. There is no need to trouble the imperial physician to come."

Concubine Hua sneered, "Empress, An Changzai said she's fine, and I've punished Songzhi, can my sister leave now?"

The Queen had no choice but to let Concubine Hua leave, and all the concubines also took their leave. Noble Lady Fucha helped An Lingrong out of Jingren Palace.

Rendong had been waiting outside Jingren Palace. Seeing An Lingrong in a dishevel, she immediately came over and took An Lingrong from Noble Lady Fucha.

After taking only two steps, Xia Dongchun's voice came from behind.
