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

"Xiao Jiangzi, go to the Imperial Hospital and find me some medical books."

An Lingrong asked Xiao Jiangzi to go to the Imperial Hospital, but she didn't say who she was looking for or what book she wanted. This was to see if there was anyone in the Imperial Hospital who could be of use to her.

An Lingrong spoke vaguely, but Xiao Jiangzi did not ask any more questions and immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to do his job.

In Jingren Palace.

"Jianqiu, I feel so cold." The queen sat weakly on the chair. It was not yet midwinter but she felt the biting cold.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor still respects you, so please don't think too much." The Emperor's words in the Yangxin Palace that he regarded the Nian family as his benefactors spread in the harem for some reason. The Empress was silent for a long time after hearing it. Jianqiu knew that as long as the Nian family did not fall, Concubine Hua would not fall, so seeing that the Empress was heartbroken, she could only comfort her with words.

The useless consolation did not make the queen feel relieved. She exhaled deeply and said quietly, "Go and ask Concubine Wan to come and talk to me."

Jianqiu knew that the Queen had something to tell Zhen Huan, so she didn't dare to delay and went to do it.

In the Yanxi Palace, Xiao Jiangzi gave the medical book borrowed from the Imperial Hospital to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was not in a hurry to see what books there were. She asked calmly, "Who gave you these books?"

Little Jiangzi spoke very eloquently: "In reply to your question, young lady, when I arrived, Judge Zhang was busy writing pulse cases, and the other adults were also busy, so they randomly pointed a medicine boy to me and asked him to find one for me. The medicine boy seemed to be new, and he was frantically searching for a bunch of messy books. Later, it was Doctor Zhou who couldn't bear it and helped him, so I was able to come back and report."

Doctor Zhou? An Lingrong remembered that he had come to check her pulse more than a year ago, but Xia Dongchun had made a scene for him. After that, he never came to the Yanxi Palace again. She thought for a moment and asked, "Is Doctor Zhou not busy?"

"Busy. I saw him holding the prescription and asking people for advice, but no one paid any attention to him. That's why Doctor Zhou had time to help me."

An Lingrong thought of what Doctor Zhou said last time when he bullied Xia Dongchun, and thought that this man was too straightforward, which made him unpopular. However, this was just her one-sided guess. She would need to do more experiments to find out what kind of person he was.

In Jingren Palace, Zhen Huan listened carefully to what the Queen said:

"The Nian family is now in great power, and everyone in the palace is avoiding her aura. However, blindly avoiding and giving in is not a good strategy. It will only make her push her further. I feel sorry for you being implicated and demoted for no reason. If she takes advantage of Nian Gengyao's power and plots against you again, if you don't fight for her favor now, what will you use to resist her then?"

Zhen Huan knew that the Queen wanted her to confront Hua Fei again, but the Emperor had secretly told her to hide her edge and wait for the right time. She couldn't tell the Queen this, so she had to think of a tactful way to say: "Queen, I also want to fight for it, but the Emperor is being watched closely by her, so I can't find any chance at all. In my opinion, the ones who can sleep with you now are all old faces. It's better to have new people with new looks, which can make the Emperor pity me."

The Queen thought Zhen Huan was talking about Xia Dongchun. She frowned and said, "Xia Changzai is not right. I have promoted her many times, but she has not been able to grasp the emperor's grace. This method will not work."

Zhen Huan smiled and reminded, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun is already sixteen years old. She is innocent and loves to laugh. Whenever I talk to her, I can forget my worries. I think the Emperor will like her."

The Queen understood immediately and said with a smile: "The appearance of a rough jade is even more attractive. I was not wrong about you. You are indeed smart. I will facilitate this matter, but you can't rely entirely on Chun'er. You still have to make plans as soon as possible."

Zhen Huan smiled and said yes.

A few days later, the Queen invited the Emperor to Jingren Palace on the pretext of preparing a family banquet for the Beginning of Winter.

Before dinner, the first heavy snow of this winter finally fell. In the courtyard of Jingren Palace, innocent girls and palace maids built snowmen and had snowball fights. The emperor heard cheerful laughter like silver bells before he arrived. As soon as he stepped into Jingren Palace, a ball of snow fell into his arms. The laughter and joy around him stopped abruptly, and the palace servants were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Only Chun Er was not afraid of the emperor's majesty at all. She ran to the emperor briskly, stared at him with big eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are here. We are having a snowball fight. It's so fun. Please join us."

The emperor looked at her delicate face which was flushed from running all the time, and he could not bear to punish her. He smiled tolerantly: "You little girl, play less, be careful not to catch a cold. I will go to discuss things with the queen first."

Chun'er smiled even sweeter when she saw that he didn't scold her.

Two days later, Chun'er was carried into the Yangxin Palace with laughter all the way.

"Here comes another little bitch pretending to be stupid and foolish. It's really hard to guard against her." Concubine Hua had been living a very comfortable life during this period. Since Zhen Huan was demoted, she stayed at home every day, which made Concubine Hua very proud. She thought that Zhen Huan had been beaten by her and would never recover. However, she didn't expect that Zhen Huan would use Chun'er to disgust her, so she was very angry.

Concubine Cao hurriedly advised her, "Your Majesty, this is someone the Queen has promoted. The Emperor is just dealing with it for now, and he will forget about it in a few days. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."

Concubine Hua refused to listen. She gritted her teeth and looked grim. "Hmph, you are looking at me. The Queen and Zhen Huan are now in the same boat. I will not let them go this time. I will let them know my temper. Those who respect me will have no problem, but those who dare to go against me will not have a good end."

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Lipin's face was full of gloating.

Hua Fei's eyes were as cold as a knife, and she gnashed her teeth and said, "Isn't Zhen Huan relying on her family background? Tell my brother to investigate Zhen Yuandao. I will first knock out Zhen Huan's support, and then see what she, the daughter of a guilty minister, can do to fight me."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li immediately agreed and offered some bad ideas.

The two of them were talking excitedly, but for some reason, when Concubine Cao looked at the extremely arrogant Concubine Hua, she suddenly thought of the four words "from prosperity to decline". She shuddered and hurriedly drove this ominous thought out of her heart.

Inside the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong carefully watched the struggling face of Doctor Zhou, whose expression kept changing. Finally, she sighed and said, "My Lady An, I think you have been thinking too much during the day, which is why you have trouble sleeping at night. As long as you relax, you will recover without taking any medicine."

An Lingrong used the excuse that she had been sleepless for many days to invite Doctor Zhou over. After hearing what he said, she thought to herself that although he was honest, he was not pedantic, so she directly admitted:

"Doctor Zhou, I pretended to be sick just to see you."

Doctor Zhou was startled. People in the palace always spoke and acted in a tactful way. Not many people were as direct as An Lingrong in bringing things out. He immediately doubted An Lingrong's true intentions: "My Lady An, what do you want from me?"
