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

"You did a great job this time. You are a role model for the Empress."

Two days ago, the Queen advised the Emperor in front of all the concubines that Concubine Nian had been careful in her words and deeds during her period of contemplation, and that her punishment was too long, which would cause criticism in the court and the harem. She suggested that the Emperor reinstate Concubine Nian to quell the controversy.

The Queen pleaded for mercy, and after much deliberation, the Emperor finally issued an edict to restore Concubine Nian's position and her title.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, Nian Gengyao of the previous dynasty immediately wrote a letter of greeting, expressing gratitude to the emperor for forgiving Hua Fei's mistake.

The Queen made an indispensable contribution in this matter. The Emperor stayed in the Central Palace for two consecutive days and gave the Queen a pile of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings for her to enjoy.

Zhen Huan was also very happy, as she didn't have to offend Sister Mei and could still enjoy watching the frog being boiled in warm water.

Even for Concubine Duan, the Emperor secretly compensated her with a bunch of medicinal herbs, fabrics, rare treasures and jewels from his private treasury.

The Queen Mother also felt that the Queen had done a great job in this matter. She did not care about her own personal gain and was able to focus on the overall situation. She called her to Shoukang Palace and gave her earnest instructions:

"As a queen, you have to endure the suffering of ordinary people, but you have to look at the end of things. The one who laughs last is the winner. This matter not only makes the emperor appreciate your kindness, but also allows the former court officials to see the queen's demeanor. People's hearts will naturally be on your side."

When the emperor first hinted at it, the queen was a little unhappy, but in order not to disobey the emperor, she endured the nausea and agreed. Unexpectedly, she received praise from the empress dowager. You know, her aunt always looked down on her behavior, but she didn't expect that this time she would receive her praise by accident.

The Queen had no choice but to say politely: "I thank you for your careful teaching, Empress Dowager. I was inevitably not comprehensive in the past. Please give me more guidance in the future."

"It's not about giving advice. In the future, as long as you think about sharing the emperor's worries and making the concubines obedient, you will naturally gain his sincere respect. In this way, no matter who is favored in the future, they will not be able to surpass you."

Just after she finished praising him, she was scolded again. The queen was filled with anger. As the unique queen mother, her aunt could naturally not fight for anything, but the queen could not not fight. If she did not fight, she would be cannibalized by those below her. She agreed against her will: "I will remember the teachings of the queen mother today."

An Lingrong was also very satisfied with the outcome of this matter. As expected, every move made by Concubine Duan would not fail, and it could also cause the Emperor to feel more guilty. This guilt was the key to success in the future.

Only Concubine Hua was both happy and angry. She was happy that the emperor finally forgave her and directly restored her position, which showed that the emperor never blamed her in his heart. It was all the fault of that bitch Zhen Huan that caused her to be neglected for so long.

What made her angry was that the old woman, the Queen, had bad intentions. She had worked hard for many days and was about to succeed, but the Queen took all the benefits for nothing. She had to express her gratitude to the Queen. Because of this incident, she would be more humble when she saw the Queen in the future.

Seeing that she had lost her mind again, Songzhi hurriedly reminded her, "Your Highness, this is not the time to be angry with the Queen. You have to act like you really like her, so that the Emperor will be happy to see you."

Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at her and said, "I don't need you to remind me of this. I naturally know it. Why didn't Concubine Cao come today?"

Songzhi thought of the generous reward given by Concubine Cao, and hurriedly spoke up to help, "Concubine Cao said that your Highness and the Emperor must have a lot of personal conversations after a long separation, so she couldn't come over to disturb you during this period. She left after delivering the gift yesterday."

Thinking of the emperor's love words last night, Concubine Hua smiled shyly: "It's hard for her to understand. Go and tell her that I allow her to rest for ten days or half a month. After this period of time, she can't be lazy anymore."

Songzhi agreed and then talked about the manpower: "Yes, I will go and tell you later. There is one more thing. After Lin Bin was sent away by the queen, there is no more chief eunuch in the Yikun Palace. Now that the queen has regained the emperor's favor, there are naturally more things to do around her. Do you think you can let the Ministry of Internal Affairs select new staff for you?"

When this matter was mentioned, Concubine Hua was extremely unhappy: "Zhen Huan cut off the people I could use, and the Queen took advantage of my downfall to blatantly arrange spies around me. I have to thank Fei Shi for committing suicide, so that I could send that lowly slave away. But now I dare not rashly ask for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the emperor comes, I will see if I can find a young eunuch from the Yangxin Palace to help me manage this palace of slaves."

Song Zhi agreed, "Your Highness, you are devoted to the Emperor, so you can tell him everything. If someone from the Imperial Court is willing to come, it will deter those villains."

But she immediately thought of something else: "If your Majesty does this, it will be difficult for people outside to ask your help in the future."

Hua Fei was unwilling to give up this way of making money, but she also understood that without anyone trustworthy, she could never do this again: "It's good this way, it's quiet, I can serve the emperor with peace of mind. Now that I don't take care of palace affairs, I think I can save some money on rewards. Besides, with my brother here, I won't owe you money, so people from outside won't come to me again in the future."

"Your Majesty, as long as you are safe and happy in the palace, the general will be at ease outside." This way, he won't have to worry every day, Songzhi thought.

When Concubine Hua thought of the Nian family, she felt flustered for some reason, so she had to interrupt: "Stop talking, come with me to see how the dinner is prepared."

The Yikun Palace became especially lively due to Concubine Hua's restoration of favor.

But in Yonghe Palace, there was silence.

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Cao who was holding Princess Wen Yi and asked, "Sister Cao, how long do you plan to hide like this?"

Concubine Cao didn't want Wen Yi to hear about the affairs of the harem at such a young age, so she asked the wet nurse to take her to the yard to play. After settling her daughter down, she said worriedly:

"Madam Wenpin, I am helpless. You know the temper of Madam Huafei. She always thinks that the big loss she suffered last time was related to Madam Wanpin. Now she is in a strong position and will definitely fight back. But how dare I provoke the Wanpin who is in the limelight? That's why I want to delay it for a day."

An Lingrong looked at her with a half-smile: "Sister Cao, you hid yourself probably because you don't want to offend Wanpin."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her, Concubine Cao directly complained: "I don't know why Wan Concubine is thinking about me. She first used Wen Yi as an excuse. I had no influence, so I had to endure it. But last night she sent me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, saying that she had offended me before, and these were to apologize to Wen Yi. Madam, no matter how stupid I am, I can think of something wrong. She even wanted to ask me to go to Yongshou Palace to talk often. I was attacked from both sides and had to hide."

In the previous life, Concubine Hua fell, and Concubine Cao made great contributions. In this life, Zhen Huan probably wanted to dig something out of her. However, she came into contact with Concubine Cao too late, and she also interfered in the matter, which made the always cautious and suspicious Cao Qinmo wary of Zhen Huan. An Lingrong smiled and asked:

"Sister Cao, do you want to take it a step further?"
