If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Ever since Lingrong asked Juqing about getting married, Juqing has been following Lingrong around every day, never out of her sight. Lingrong knew she was worried, or afraid that she would send her away.

Since the banquet that day, Concubine Hua has been sleeping with him for the past few days. During the day, Zhen Huan occasionally accompanies him. The only people who have been to the Qinzheng Palace are Lingrong, who has been there twice, and Meizhuang, who has been there once. The others have not even seen the emperor. After the lunch break today, Lingrong waited for the emperor to get up and then came out of the Qinzheng Palace. Zhou Ninghai, who was beside Concubine Hua, invited her to the Qingliang Palace halfway.

"Your concubine pays her respects to Concubine Hua. May Concubine Hua be blessed with good health." Lingrong squatted deeply to salute. This was the first time she had met Concubine Hua alone since she entered the palace. She still felt a little uneasy.

"Lady Jing, please stand up." Hua Fei said with a fake smile. Ling Rong felt a little guilty when she saw her look. She had exposed several of her plans in the past few days. If she had not been restored to favor at that time and did not dare to cause trouble, Ling Rong felt that Hua Fei should have killed her several times.

"Empress Hua, I wonder what instructions you have for me today?" Ling Rong humbled herself. She was just a small noble lady, and Concubine Hua could kill her with just a finger. She was not as arrogant as Zhen Huan.

"Lady Jing, your foot has gotten better recently. I heard that you sprained your foot a while ago, and the emperor was very worried." Hua Fei leaned on the couch and fanned herself lightly, looking very leisurely. Ling Rong looked at her as if she could easily kill herself with such leisure.

"I'm sorry to have worried Your Majesty. I'm fine now." Ling Rong couldn't figure out what Concubine Hua wanted to do.

"It's good that you've become more steady," Hua Fei changed the subject and continued, "Since you can sprain your ankle even when walking, it means that Lady Jing is very lacking in etiquette. She still needs to be taught well." Just as Hua Fei finished speaking, two maids came in from outside. Hua Fei looked at them and continued, "They are the maids who teach etiquette in the palace. Let them teach you etiquette again. If you sprain your ankle again in public in the future, won't it make people in the palace laugh at you?"

Lingrong looked at Concubine Hua's half-smile, and felt that her day was over. Concubine Hua was just trying to kill her. Although Lingrong was very scared, she didn't show it on her face. "Yes, Madam. I will live up to your teachings."

Concubine Hua sneered and closed her eyes. The two maids came forward and took Lingrong out. "Please move outside, Miss Jing." Lingrong heard Songzhi behind her chuckle and say, "This Miss Jing is very stubborn. I wonder if she can still be so stubborn later."

Lingrong looked at the hot outside, closed her eyes tightly and walked out. She knew that she was going to get hurt today. Juqing was originally helping Lingrong out, but the sullen-faced nanny pulled Juqing aside and said, "Young lady, please walk out quickly. You have to walk steadily." Fortunately, Lingrong stood steadily, otherwise she would have dragged Lingrong down with her if she had pulled Juqing.

After walking outside, two maids followed Lingrong, one holding a thick ruler about one foot long and one inch wide, and the other watching from a distance. She smiled very gently, but to Lingrong, her smile looked a little creepy.

The nanny focused on teaching her how to walk and behave properly. If she made a mistake, she would hit her with a ruler. Lingrong cried out in pain. When she cried out, the nanny would hit her with a ruler again, saying that she was crying out without manners. After that, Lingrong didn't dare to make a sound anymore, but she endured the pain. She thought that Hua Fei would just hit her a few times to vent her anger, but she didn't expect that Hua Fei would not let her off so easily. She taught her the palace rules and etiquette until dinner time.

Until Songzhi came out and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to the Qinzheng Palace. Today's etiquette will end here. Concubine Jing, please go back." Upon hearing the pardon order, Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to fall down. Fortunately, Juqing arrived in time to support Lingrong.

"Lingrong thanks Concubine Hua for her teachings." Lingrong's legs were shaking as she saluted. After the ceremony, Juqing dragged her out. Just as she walked out of the Qingliang Palace, Lingrong could no longer walk and sat down on a stone beside her. She thought that today was over.
