An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Concubine Qi, surnamed Li, was also from the Han Army Banner. Her father was originally just an ordinary soldier in the Han Army. Later, because Concubine Qi was commanded by the emperor who was still a prince, and because of her own meritorious service, she was eventually appointed as a fourth-rank prefect.

Precisely for this reason, Concubine Qi did not care about the origins and family backgrounds of the concubines. Even because her own family was not prominent, she would take care of the low-ranking concubines who also came from grassroots backgrounds.

When Concubine Qi heard the palace maid's report that Xia Dongchun looked down on An Lingrong because she was the daughter of a Baoyi Zuoling, she seemed to see herself back then.

At that time, she had just entered the palace. Although the wife was kind, some of the princesses under her were constantly fighting openly and secretly, and they only appeared to be harmonious on the surface.

Concubine Qi was not good at fighting with others, and she suffered a lot at that time.

Although she has now become the mistress of a palace and has a son, she still feels terrified when she looks back at the past.

At the same time, Concubine Qi felt a little unhappy and angry, which caused her to look at Xia Dongchun with an unfriendly look.

"Mother, mother..."

Although Xia Dongchun is domineering, it is mainly because he is used to being spoiled at home.

At the same time, because he was good at flattering others, when he saw Concubine Qi looking at him with a sharp gaze, he couldn't help feeling weak in his heart, and his previous arrogance disappeared all of a sudden.

An Lingrong knew that Xia Dongchun was just an embroidered pillow. She looked intimidating, but in reality she was just made of paper and would break if poked with a little force.

Now he used his years of calm and self-control to control his expression, so he didn't laugh out loud.

"No, I'm not your mother, why are you yelling like that?"

Concubine Qi snorted coldly, then without even looking at Xia Dongchun, she walked up to An Lingrong and said, "Since you have entered the palace, you are the emperor's concubine, and naturally you cannot allow others to insult you. If anyone is presumptuous, you can ask the Empress to take charge!"

At this point, Concubine Qi suddenly changed the subject and said, "The Empress governs the six palaces with benevolence and love. She doesn't want the sisters to quarrel every day and provoke the Emperor to be anti-Semitic. I hope that all the sisters can behave properly and not embarrass the Empress!"

"Yes, I will follow your instructions."

An Lingrong nodded to show that she accepted the advice.

Seeing that An Lingrong behaved well and obediently, Concubine Qi's expression eased a little. Then, without even looking at Xia Dongchun, she sat down on the first chair on the left with the help of a palace maid.

"Oh my, what's going on? Even Sister Qi Fei has started to reprimand the concubines in the palace?"

Just as Concubine Qi sat down, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Then, everyone saw a beautiful woman in a bright red Manchu dress slowly walking in.

The woman looked radiant and her makeup was extremely delicate. But the most attractive thing was the set of kingfisher feather headdress she wore on her head!

Although there was no little palace maid to tell tales this time and let everyone know the identity of this woman from the side, but looking at her wealthy and extravagant demeanor, anyone who is not a fool can naturally guess that this must be the Concubine Hua who has always been at odds with the Queen!

An Lingrong watched as Concubine Hua's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on Concubine Qi.

It is obvious that Concubine Qi has more seniority than Concubine Hua, has the same title, and even gave birth to a prince. However, when facing Concubine Hua's gaze, she chose to turn her face away, obviously unwilling to look at Concubine Hua.

This scene is completely different from when Concubine Qi scolded Xia Dongchun earlier.

Xia Dongchun was almost dumbfounded. After she came to her senses, she looked at Hua Fei eagerly as if she was waiting for Hua Fei to make a decision for her and support her.

However, Xia Dongchun had forgotten at this time that the new clothes she was wearing were all made of fabrics gifted by the Queen.

It was known to everyone in the palaces that Concubine Hua was not on good terms with the Empress. Even if Concubine Hua ridiculed Concubine Qi, how could she take a mere maid like Xia Dongchun seriously?

"Hehe, my sisters have come so early. I am sorry to have made you wait for so long."

And at this moment, the queen finally appeared.

As the queen's voice sounded, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

At the same time, everyone saw an elegant woman in bright yellow Manchu clothing slowly walking out from the back hall, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

"The Queen is here!"

At the same time, Jiang Fuhai, the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace, also shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen!"

Now, no one needed to be greeted and everyone bowed and greeted the queen according to palace rules and etiquette.

Originally, Concubine Hua was still in a stalemate with Concubine Qi, but the proper master of the six palaces arrived, and a group of concubines also greeted her at the same time. Naturally, Concubine Hua could not pretend that she didn't see it, so she could only say something reluctantly and waved her handkerchief at the Queen.

"Concubine Qi, you are an old man in the palace, and you have given birth to a prince. It is your responsibility to teach the new sisters."

The Queen had a smile on her face, but she ignored Concubine Hua and said something to Concubine Qi with a smile.

"Yes! I will do my best to help Her Majesty the Queen!"

Concubine Qi originally kept silent, mainly because she was a little afraid of Concubine Hua.

But the Queen gave her affirmation as soon as she arrived, which made Concubine Qi feel reassured. She immediately felt more confident and her voice became several degrees higher than before.

"Haha, although Sister Qi Fei has been in the palace for many years, she is still not proficient in palace affairs."

Hua Fei was not someone who would swallow her anger. Since the Queen ignored her, she chose to take the initiative to regain her home advantage. She interrupted the conversation between the two and said calmly, "If it weren't for this, the Emperor wouldn't have asked me to help the Queen manage the affairs of the six palaces!"

These words were spoken extremely bluntly, and Concubine Qi's smile disappeared instantly. At the same time, she tried to glare at Concubine Hua.

Unfortunately, Concubine Hua didn't take her seriously at all, so how could she care about this mere eye attack?

After all, the Queen is a shrewd womanizer. Even in the face of such blatant provocation from Concubine Hua, she can still remain calm.

The queen, supported by Jianqiu, walked up the small steps and sat on the phoenix throne in the middle.

The people below looked at each other in silence for a moment.

The fight between Concubine Hua and the Queen is not something that has just started today. For the old people who have been in the palace for a long time, it is nothing new.

People like Zhen Huan had just come in and saw such a big drama. They all had different thoughts in their minds, but they didn't show them on the surface.

As the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace, Jiang Fuhai was also very perceptive, and he immediately said, "Today is the first time for the eight new ladies to come to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress. Please pay your respects with great ceremony!"

As for this set of procedures, the concubines had already been taught by their respective aunts before they entered the palace.

Naturally, everyone was familiar with her, so they all bowed down to the queen.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Repeat this process three times and the first ritual of worship is completed.

However, among the eight people, Xia Dongchun's etiquette seemed extremely awkward, and naturally he was the most conspicuous one.

“Is this completely unlearned?”

An Lingrong looked at Xia Dongchun, who was acting strangely beside her, and felt confused.

This time she did not live in the Yanx Palace, but Xia Dongchun still came to provoke her, and the means of provocation were no different from those years.

But when performing the ceremony, the etiquette and manners displayed by Xia Dongchun seemed to be something that had not been learned properly!
