The farce ended, the maid was beaten to death on the spot, and An Lingrong left first.

On the way back, An Lingrong somehow came to Chang'an Palace.

Feng Ruozhao looked at An Lingrong crying heart-wrenchingly on his knees, and thought that Zhen Heng would be able to marry a princess in the future and live happily with her. He felt that the old saying was right: men are often unfaithful.

An Lingrong was very grateful for Feng Ruozhao's advice and was determined to fight for his favor to the end.

Although the farce in the palace ended, it was still going on outside the palace.

Zhen Yuandao wanted to kick Zhen Heng out of the house, so Zhen Heng left home with the prostitute Jiayi.

An Lingrong did not cut human flesh for Zhen Huan to use as medicine. When Zhen Huan fell ill, she only sent some nourishing herbs as usual.

An Lingrong knew that Zhen Huan could harbor grudges against people over the smallest things.

An Lingrong was competing for favor, but Zhen Huan got no benefits and was not informed in advance. How could Zhen Huan not mind?

Even if An Lingrong gave her heart to Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan still would not believe An Lingrong. So why bother herself and do something thankless?

It's the summer vacation season again. There are not many concubines accompanying Taiping Palace, and the favored ones are still Zhen Huan and An Lingrong.

At the July Night Banquet, Zhen Huan mentioned to Xuan Ling that Shen Meizhuang was taking care of the Queen Mother.

Xuan Ling promoted Shen Meizhuang to the rank of third-rank imperial concubine, but then, remembering that An Lingrong was still a young maiden, he promoted her to the rank of fifth-rank concubine.

The Queen asked about the title, Zhen Huan stepped forward to pour wine for the Emperor, Xuan Ling drank the wine and said, "Use the surname as the title."

An Lingrong's face turned pale. Everyone knew that An Lingrong was favored, but the reason she had not been given a title yet could only be because her family background was too low.

Hua Fei sneered: "The surname An is an easy title, so there is no need to think of another one."

Feng Ruozhao naturally wants to protect An Lingrong, not because he likes An Lingrong so much, but because in this novel, An Lingrong is really pitiful.

Feng Ruozhao spoke up: "Anpin has a gentle and soft temperament. On that day, only Anpin comforted the emperor's grief."

Xuan Ling was very sad when he thought about the day he lost his son, even though he had a second son born to Concubine Jing.

During that time, Ling Rong used her tenderness to slowly ease the pain in Xuan Ling's heart.

Xuan Ling put down the cup, stretched out his hand to pull An Lingrong to his side and said: "Give the word Rou as your title, do you like it?"

An Lingrong's eyes were slightly red, and she hummed softly with a red face.

Xuan Ling felt a little guilty towards An Lingrong, and gave her many precious things.

Shen Meizhuang looked unhappy. It was a happy event for her to be promoted to a concubine, but it was completely overshadowed by An Lingrong.

Zhen Huan turned her head to look at Shen Meizhuang, shook her head at her, and Shen Meizhuang returned to her cold expression.

At night, Zhen Huan recalled what happened at the banquet and felt a little secretly happy, thinking that An Lingrong's position in Xuan Ling's heart was just like this.

Concubine Xin accused An Lingrong of seducing Zhen Huan into favor when she had a miscarriage, but Zhen Huan remembered that when she was about to regain her favor, An Lingrong ruined Zhen Huan's plan of playing hard to get, and the plan was forced to be terminated.

After An Lingrong was promoted, Xuan Ling suddenly started to treat her equally, favoring mostly concubines with good family backgrounds.

Shen Meizhuang did not sleep with him, so Xuan Ling turned over Shen Meizhuang's name card. After arriving at Cunju Hall, Shen Meizhuang advised Xuan Ling to go somewhere else.

It was another night banquet. Zhen Huan had a verbal dispute with Qiao Cainu (Song Zhi), and Xuan Ling ordered her to go to Wuliang Palace to reflect on her mistakes.

Feng Ruozhao knew that the emperor wanted to deal with the Prince of Runan, but Feng Ruozhao couldn't understand it. No matter whether it was the Great Qing Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor didn't care about his mother, his sons and daughters, but only cared about Zhen Huan's safety.

Even though Xuan Ling had given up his elders and young children, Zhen Huan was still dissatisfied with him.

Xuan Ling promoted Qiao Cainu to be Qiao Xianshi, and Zhen Huan left in tears.

An Lingrong still brought Baojuan and accompanied Zhen Huan to the Wuliang Palace on the island in the middle of the lake.

Xuan Ling threatened the King of Runan with his wife and children, and asked the King of Qinghe, Xuan Qing, to take over the military power of the King of Runan in various places in advance.

After planning for many days, we finally won a great victory.

Xuan Ling talked to Zhen Huan about what Zhen Heng did. If An Lingrong listened to their conversation, she would understand that everything was planned by them.

Zhen Huan can treat An Lingrong as a fool, and if An Lingrong does not tell Zhen Huan in advance that she wants to compete for favor, Zhen Huan will secretly sigh that people's hearts have changed.
