An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Sister, your speculation does make sense. Just as you said, maybe when the emperor looked at you, he unconsciously thought of his 'old friend', which is why he showed such an expression?"

An Lingrong's voice was not loud, but Zhen Huan could hear clearly what she was saying.

"Sister, do you know something?"

After hearing what An Lingrong said, Zhen Huan frowned suddenly and then began to ask hurriedly.

She was usually alert, and she was just feeling anxious and uneasy just now because she felt that she had become the target of public criticism.

Now that she had calmed down a little, Zhen Huan suddenly felt that An Lingrong seemed to have something unsatisfied.

"Sister, you and I entered the palace on the same day, so it was impossible for me to know any secrets before that."

An Lingrong shook her head at first, then changed the subject and said, "But the rumors that spread after entering the palace, even if I don't want to hear them, there's no guarantee that they will drift into my ears."

Zhen Huan's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, but she said, "Please tell me, sister."

An Lingrong did not speak in a hurry, but stood up and went to the window to look carefully. Seeing that no one was walking outside, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Her serious attitude made Zhen Huan feel nervous.

Since we have to be so careful, it is obvious that what I am about to say is not something that can be easily told to outsiders!

An Lingrong returned to Zhen Huan's side, pondered for a moment, and said, "I also heard what Baojuan said. Sister should still remember that the reason I punished her was because Baojuan talked nonsense and tried to cause discord between me and Concubine Chun."

Seeing Zhen Huan nod, An Lingrong continued, "Baojuan said that day that with my sister's looks, she would definitely be favored in the future, so she advised me to suppress Concubine Chun in order to please my sister and benefit from it."

"Why would she say that?"

After hearing these words, the confusion on Zhen Huan's face did not diminish, but became even more intense.

Although she was given a title when she entered the palace, it was only the rank of a concubine and there was nothing particularly outstanding about her.

But Baojuan was just a maid assigned from the Imperial Household Department, yet she had already predicted that she would definitely receive the emperor's favor in the future, and even secretly instigated An Lingrong to curry favor with her...

This made Zhen Huan sigh that Baojuan was indeed very scheming, but she was also even more puzzled.

But then Zhen Huan suddenly remembered An Lingrong's words. The emperor looked at her with a look that reminded her of someone...

Combined with Baojuan's words, could it be that Baojuan actually knows the inside story?

"I was also curious at the time, so I asked her about it. Baojuan only said that during the election, the emperor fell in love with a young lady at first sight, and then a rumor started out of nowhere, saying that the young lady looked very much like the late queen."

An Lingrong's voice came from the side, the volume was not loud, but it made Zhen Huan feel like being struck by lightning.

"Looks a lot like the late queen... me?"

Zhen Huan widened her eyes and looked at An Lingrong with astonishment.

She had had various guesses before, but no matter what the guess was, Zhen Huan did not lean towards the late Queen Chun Yuan!

On the one hand, it was because Queen Chunyuan had passed away many years ago and the time was too far away. On the other hand, before this election, although Zhen Huan was a lady from an official family, she had never been exposed to such royal affairs.

Therefore, before hearing An Lingrong say this, Zhen Huan had never thought about it in this regard!

"I wonder if you still remember what Aunt Fangruo said when she was teaching us etiquette?"

An Lingrong saw the shock on Zhen Huan's face, but gave further hints.

"This... Aunt Fangruo said a lot of things, and I don't remember them all. Please explain clearly, sister!"

Zhen Huan frowned and thought, but after thinking for a long time, she still didn't understand what An Lingrong was referring to, so she wanted An Lingrong to speak directly.

An Lingrong didn't mean to whet Zhen Huan's appetite on purpose. She just mentioned Aunt Fangruo first to make it easier for her to say the next words.

"Before Aunt Fangruo taught us the palace rules and etiquette, she introduced to us the queens who were the main ladies of the six palaces."

Seeing Zhen Huan nod, An Lingrong continued, "If I remember correctly, I remember that according to Aunt Fangruo, the current Empress is the sister of the former Empress, and Empress Chunyuan is the Emperor's legitimate wife. Unfortunately, she died young..."

After An Lingrong said this, a smart person like Zhen Huan naturally understood everything.

"So, during the election that day, the Emperor showed interest in me, and the Empress Dowager was shocked, all because of my similar appearance to Queen Chunyuan?"

Even though she already had the answer in her heart, Zhen Huan was still shocked when she came to this conclusion.

But with this said, the Emperor's great attention to himself, the Empress Dowager's difficulties at that time, and the Empress's strange reaction when he met her today, everything seemed to make sense.

"I didn't know there would be such a reason. Is this a blessing or a curse for me?"

Zhen Huan murmured to herself, not disguising the gloom on her face at all.

Although she was afraid and worried because the emperor was staring at her, she still had a glimmer of fantasy in her heart.

Maybe the emperor really did this because he liked me?

But after An Lingrong's analysis, Zhen Huan could not deceive herself into thinking that the emperor would fall in love with her at first sight.

On the contrary, she entered the palace because the emperor was attracted by her appearance!

Now that she has entered the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. Zhen Huan is really a little hesitant.

"Sister, don't say that!"

An Lingrong deliberately revealed all this at this moment, mainly to make Zhen Huan sober, not to make her depressed.

Seeing that Zhen Huan was not moved by her words, An Lingrong said, "Let alone that all this is just speculation based on rumors from the outside world, even if it is true, the fact that Sister looks like Queen Chunyuan is a gift from God, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhen Huan laughed at herself and said in a hoarse voice: "Just because I was born with this face, I should be grateful and use it to seek favor?"

She woke up from her sweet dream and regained some of her sanity.

As the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, Zhen Huan has been well-versed in poetry and books since childhood, and she has a proud character!

If you use your beauty to please men, it won't last long, and you will be putting yourself in a situation where you are like a plaything.

She would rather be out of favor all her life and spend the rest of her life in these six palaces than do such a thing.

"If you say that, sister, you really misunderstood me."

An Lingrong heard a hint of sarcasm in Zhen Huan's tone, but she remained unmoved.

If I were to say the same thing to myself in my previous life, I would probably have already put myself into it.

But having experienced the ups and downs of life in the palace, An Lingrong's heart had already become extremely firm.

No matter what others say, as long as you remain unmoved, everything is in vain!

"You say it."

Zhen Huan leaned lazily on the kang, her expression had become very indifferent, and she felt as if there was nothing more sad than a dead heart.
