If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

"May the Queen be blessed with good health!"

"Everyone get up!"

Everyone in Jingren Palace paid their respects to the Queen. Concubine Hua saluted in an unruly manner as usual and sat down before others stood up.

"May the Empress Hua be blessed with good health!"

"Get up, sisters. Why are you so polite today?" Because the emperor wanted to reward her whole family and even promote her, Concubine Hua had been in a good mood these days.

"I heard that the Emperor wants to promote you, and since we are all family sisters, naturally I have to congratulate you first!" The Queen said with a smile. Although she congratulated him, the Queen did not think that the Emperor would really promote Concubine Hua, because she was already a Concubine, and the next promotion would be Imperial Concubine.

"It has always been the Queen who has been so blessed. I never thought that today I would also be blessed."

Concubine Hua's words confused everyone in the palace for a moment, and no one understood what she meant. Of course, others didn't understand and didn't ask more questions, and only Concubine Qi would mindlessly pick up her words.

"Empress Hua, what do you mean by this?"

"When the queen was promoted from concubine to wife, I think the concubines also congratulated her like this!"

Concubine Hua said this with a smile, and everyone saw the irony in her smile.

"Sister, you are so smart to think of others as well as yourself!" said the queen indifferently.

"No matter how smart I am, how can I compare to the Queen, who is both blessed and wise? The Queen has always loved to understand the Emperor's mind. I wonder what rank the Emperor wants to give me when he says he wants to promote me?" Concubine Hua pretended to be puzzled and asked. She knew that if the Queen had not passed away, she could only be promoted to Imperial Concubine, but she still asked this question, which was a clear target for the Queen's position.

"You are already a noble concubine, and above a noble concubine is an imperial noble concubine. This is what the emperor thinks." The queen naturally understood what Noble Concubine Hua meant, but she was not prepared to be angry with her. It has been like this for many years, so there is no need to care about these trivial matters.

"Your Majesty is wrong. There is the Queen above the Imperial Concubine!" Concubine Hua smiled provocatively. This was not the first time she had provoked the Queen. She was already very familiar with it.

"Oh, so my sister likes the position of Queen!" The Queen said with a chuckle. She couldn't help cursing in her heart, "Fool, you can't even be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, and you still dream of the position of Queen. I can't be you even if I die."

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I just heard that the position of Imperial Noble Consort is higher than that of Vice Empress and is very honorable. When Emperor Shunzhi's Imperial Noble Consort Dong'e was in power, Empress Borjigit didn't even have a place to stand!" Concubine Hua's words were heartbreaking. She was comparing herself to Imperial Noble Consort Dong'e and the empress to Empress Borjigit, ironically saying that the empress would have no place to stand in the palace in the future.

The Queen was really angry at her words and couldn't help but scold her. "Sister, you are really well-versed in history and current affairs. However, no matter how noble the Imperial Concubine is, she is only the same as the Empress. After all, the Empress is the Empress. You can have one Imperial Concubine, and you can have several, but there is only one mother of the country. Even if Imperial Concubine Dong E is posthumously named Empress, she is still the master without a temple. If the name is not right, the words will not flow. Sister, you are very smart and should know when to be content and when to act appropriately."

"Sister only knows that when things are unfair, people will speak out. I just said a few words, but the Queen Mother made a grand speech. If you don't know, you would think that the Queen Mother, like Queen Borjigit, was as nervous as facing a great enemy when she heard the three words "Royal Noble Consort"!"

What Concubine Hua said was disgusting. It was clearly her who provoked first, and now she is saying this after being scolded. It was as if she was saying, I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?

"It is the Queen's duty to teach concubines. Sister, listen more now. After you are promoted, you will be able to convince others with reason and virtue." The Queen was also furious, but she was able to hold on after years of patience. Of course, it was also because Concubine Hua's family had just made a contribution, so even if she was angry, it was inconvenient to punish her.

"Thank you for your advice, Queen. When I am promoted in the future, I will definitely fulfill my duties and assist in managing the six palaces," said Concubine Hua, glancing at the other concubines in the palace, "Then Queen can rest more."
