An Lingrong, who had also received the news from the Zhen family, looked up at the cloudless blue sky, smiled and said, "Today is such a nice day."

I couldn't help but think: Zhen Huan, your father has become a criminal. You are no longer the daughter of a high-ranking fourth-rank official, but the daughter of a criminal. Do you still have the confidence to be so high-ranking?

Looking at the boat going farther and farther in front of her, Aunt Xiao was on the boat. Aunt Xiao was going back to Songyang County by boat today, and An Lingrong was looking forward to receiving a letter from Songyang.

As An Lingrong waited for the imperial edict to arrive, she heard the eunuch in front of her read, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: An Lingrong, the eldest daughter of An Bihuai, the magistrate of Songyang County, is to be conferred the title of a sixth-rank official. She shall enter the palace on September 15th. This is my decree."

An Lingrong received the imperial edict and knelt down in the direction of the palace to express her gratitude: "I am your concubine An, thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor."

The eunuch who announced the decree stepped forward and helped An Lingrong up, congratulating her: "Congratulations, Miss An."

An Lingrong smiled and replied, "Thank you, eunuch, for your kind words."

Turning to Baoqin, she said, "Please share in my happiness, eunuch."

Xuanzhi Taizhi took the purse, shook it with his hands behind his back, and said with a deeper smile: "Thank you, Miss An, for the reward."

Then the imperial edict led the maid beside her and introduced: "This is the maid who taught Lady An before she entered the palace. Her name is Fang Ling."

An Lingrong bowed to Fang Ling, Fang Ling dodged and bowed, saying, "My Lady An, please don't be so polite."

An Lingrong also avoided An Ling's courtesy and said, "Now that Aunt Fang Ling is here, please treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, just tell Baoqi."

Baoqi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Baoqi, your servant, and I am honored to meet you, aunt. Please follow me, aunt."

Baoshu sent the eunuch who announced the imperial edict away, and An Lingrong handed the imperial edict to Baoqin and asked her to keep it safe.

Since the imperial edict entered the palace, the entire second courtyard has been surrounded by the imperial guards. From then on, An Lingrong had to stay in her own residence in the backyard, not going out and not seeing other men.

An Lingrong was very familiar with this process as she had experienced it in her previous life.

In her previous life, An Lingrong stayed at the Zhen family, so she and Zhen Huan had the same nanny, Aunt Fangruo.

But Aunt Fangruo seldom talked about the rules of the palace, and spent most of her teaching time talking about interesting things in the palace.

Either it was about Queen Chunyuan, or it was about the Queen and Concubine Hua. As a result, An Lingrong knew very little about the palace rules in her previous life, and she suffered a lot when she entered the palace.

Zhen Huan has a face that looks 50% like Chun Yuan, and she really disregards the palace rules.

When she paid her first respects, she would stand at the front of the new ladies entering the palace, and the two Manchu and Mongolian nobles would stand behind her.

Although Sui Yu Xuan is not a proper palace but was converted from a stage, it has the main hall and the east and west side halls.

Zhen Huan was only a maid and a concubine, not worthy of being the head of a palace, but she moved into the main palace with Cui Jinxi.

Cui Jinxi, as the head aunt of Suiyuxuan, actually disregarded the palace rules and followed orders from a maid.

Not to mention that Zhen Huan was just a concubine who had just entered the palace, not the queen, and had no power to rule the palace, but she dared to send a palace maid to An Lingrong.

Later, she even secretly built a swing in the imperial garden to attract the emperor. She violated palace rules countless times.

The Queen, the mistress of the harem, turned a blind eye to it. It was not known whether Concubine Hua did not notice it or did not find fault because she saw that the Emperor liked Zhen Huan.

In fact, there is something that An Lingrong doesn't know. If An Lingrong knew that Zhen Huan dared to have an affair with Prince Guo and even gave birth to the child with the emperor, she would be really shocked.
