An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Because the details were not quite the same as what she remembered, An Lingrong kept thinking about Concubine Hua on the way back.

Although both of them are step-shaking ornaments, they are completely different in appearance and represent different meanings.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager, knowing that Concubine Hua's gift had "hidden meaning", still gave her such a hairpin as a "gift", which naturally had a different meaning.

The more An Lingrong thought about it, the more absent-minded she became. As a result, Zhen Huan called her several times in her ear, but An Lingrong did not respond.

"Lingrong, what's wrong with you?"

Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong who seemed to be in a trance and could not help but sigh.

In fact, this is not the first time that An Lingrong has been like this.

Zhen Huan remembered that An Lingrong had been in a daze like this before.

Based on her understanding of An Lingrong, Zhen Huan knew that whenever An Lingrong showed this expression, it meant that she was thinking.

So, after another failed call, Zhen Huan felt relieved.

"Forget it, Lingrong must be thinking about something important, let's not disturb her."

Zhen Huan explained this to Shen Meizhuang who was beside her.

"Okay." Although Shen Meizhuang was confused, out of trust in Zhen Huan, she didn't say anything more and just nodded to show her agreement.

The three of them walked together for a while and were about to part ways when An Lingrong suddenly came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Seeing Shen Meizhuang was about to leave, An Lingrong hurried forward to say goodbye to her.

"Sister Mei, I was thinking too hard just now, so I lost my composure. I hope Sister Mei can forgive me."

An Lingrong's words made Shen Meizhuang smile slightly.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Shen Meizhuang said with a smile, "You have always been resourceful. You must have thought of something important just now, right? Well, I won't say much. Anyway, the Queen Mother's previous words were a 'reminder' to the three of us. I also hope that sister can pay more attention to it."

After saying that, Shen Meizhuang nodded to An Lingrong, gestured to Zhen Huan, and left with Caiyue.

……

Shen Meizhuang walked lightly, and seemed not curious at all about what had made An Lingrong so devoted.

Zhen Huan is a "curious" person. Although she was cautious in the past, that was only on the external level.

For example, when it comes to An Lingrong, Zhen Huan will not be distant with her.

"So, what exactly are you up to?"

Seeing that they were about to reach the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan also understood that if she did not ask clearly now, it would be difficult to pry the truth out of An Lingrong after she entered the palace.

"Sister Huan, do you really want to know?"

An Lingrong asked Zhen Huan in return, "Even if it might make you worried, you must know it?"

"You are so secretive, there must be something wrong! Don't hide it from me, tell me now."

Zhen Huan originally just wanted to play around, but when An Lingrong asked this question, her curiosity was aroused and she insisted that An Lingrong explain herself clearly.

An Lingrong always felt that there seemed to be other meanings behind the Queen Mother's gift to Concubine Hua, and she also wanted to find someone to discuss it.

Therefore, even if Zhen Huan did not ask further questions, she herself intended to tell him the truth.

Now that Zhen Huan came to her on her own initiative, An Lingrong would certainly not refuse.

However, these things were obviously not something that could be discussed outside, so An Lingrong signaled Zhen Huan to be patient and to discuss everything after entering the house.

"The young masters are back!"

Cui Jinxi was already waiting in Suiyuxuan.

As soon as she saw Zhen Huan and An Lingrong coming back, she immediately called Huanbi and Xiao Yunzi over and led them into the hall.

In fact, according to the rules, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong should go back to their respective homes after entering Shuiyuxuan.

But now Chun'er has moved out of Sui Yuxuan, and everyone can see the "sisterhood" between An Lingrong and Zhen Huan.

Cui Jinxi has always been considerate. When she saw the two of them coming back just now, it was obvious from her expression that she had something to say.

Because of this, Cui Jinxi made all the necessary arrangements for Zhen Huan so that they had no worries.

"My lady, please take a rest in the palace first. I will prepare a meal for you."

Cui Jinxi respectfully invited Zhen Huan and An Lingrong to the main hall, dismissed everyone, and then found an excuse for herself and left very tactfully.

"it is good."

Zhen Huan was also satisfied with Cui Jinxi's thoughtfulness, so she smiled and nodded.

"I really envy my sister."

An Lingrong saw the whole scene and said jokingly, "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs could give me a head aunt like Jinxi, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Zhen Huan rolled her eyes at An Lingrong and exposed her mercilessly, "You've been ordering Jin Xi around a lot, and hasn't she agreed to do everything you ask?"

"Hey, you can't say that." An Lingrong shook her head and said, "Although Jinxi listens to me, it's all because of you, sister. If you hadn't treated me well, how could I have ordered your people around?"

An Lingrong asked a rhetorical question lightly. Seeing Zhen Huan's speechless expression, she smiled slightly and said, "Okay, no more jokes."

"You, now you are really different from before. Sometimes I don't know which one is the real you."

Zhen Huan pulled An Lingrong onto the small kang and they sat opposite each other.

An Lingrong said, "On my way back to the palace, I was distracted for a while and didn't even reply to Sister and Sister Mei. I guess Sister must be very confused too, right?"

"What else?" Zhen Huan said, "Sister Mei doesn't understand you as well as I do. She just heard from me that you are sometimes like that. Although this is the first time I have seen you like that, I am not surprised. But I know that what you are thinking in your heart must not be a simple matter..."

Having said this, Zhen Huan paused and her expression became a little uneasy.

While Zhen Huan was speaking, An Lingrong listened patiently without interrupting.

It was not until Zhen Huan could no longer speak that An Lingrong said, "Sister is always smart, why don't you guess it?"

Zhen Huan's eyelids twitched when she heard this, and then she looked into An Lingrong's smiling eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's related to Concubine Hua."

Zhen Huan expressed her guess according to An Lingrong's words.

Although it was just a guess, Zhen Huan's tone was very firm. It was not a guess at all, but more like a conclusion.

"That's right!" An Lingrong nodded, and then said, "Sister, think about it, did Concubine Hua come to Shoukang Palace just to visit the Queen Mother, or did she want to attack us? And the Queen Mother's warning before we left, wasn't it just to remind us?"
