An Lingrong and Zhen Huan reached a consensus and then filed a lawsuit.

Coincidentally, Cui Jinxi and the others also came back at this time.

The coincidence in timing made An Lingrong think for a moment that Cui Jinxi had done it on purpose.

"My lords, I have already arranged the meals. Please go to the side hall to eat."

Cui Jinxi had a smile on her face and invited Zhen Huan and the others to go out for dinner.

"Lingrong, don't go back yet, let's go together."

Zhen Huan knew that An Lingrong had been feeling very depressed these days because of Baojuan's behavior.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I don't feel hungry now."

Faced with Zhen Huan's kindness, An Lingrong shook her head and indicated that she did not want to eat.

These words made Zhen Huan frown. Just as she was about to try to persuade them, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a figure walking towards them.

That’s right, this person is naturally Baojuan.

However, Baojuan stood outside Jingren Palace for a long time after being ignored by An Lingrong that day. Finally, she followed Jianqiu in to pay a visit to the Queen.

As for what the Queen had told her in Jingren Palace that day, only Baojuan herself knew.

However, after that, Baojuan returned to Suiyuxuan and served An Lingrong just as she did in the past.

An Lingrong saw all of this and said nothing, as if those things had never happened.

However, An Lingrong no longer had the intention to win Baojuan over again.

Baojuan is a person who, apart from being utilitarian, has very strong ideas of her own.

Therefore, with a personality like Baojuan, how could An Lingrong win her heart unless she could surpass the Queen?

Instead of wasting time on someone who is impossible to raise, it is better to just pretend that she does not exist. This is what An Lingrong is thinking now.

Baojuan came to An Lingrong and the others, bowed respectfully, and said, "I congratulate the young lady on her great happiness!"

An Lingrong looked indifferent, as if she hadn't heard anything. She only said to Zhen Huan, "Sister, go and have your meal. I'll be leaving first."

"You look like this..."

Zhen Huan looked at this master and servant and felt uneasy in her heart.

Although Baojuan should not be so bold as to do anything to harm An Lingrong, Zhen Huan had just talked with An Lingrong about Concubine Hua's secret spying, so she couldn't help but feel a little weird now.

"Don't worry, we live in the same palace, what can go wrong?"

An Lingrong smiled at Zhen Huan, indicating that Zhen Huan could rest assured.

After saying this, An Lingrong didn't even look at Baojuan, and walked towards her own palace.

……

Returning to her own territory, An Lingrong sat on the chair.

Baojuan had been following An Lingrong closely, so she naturally returned to the palace at this time.

"My lady, I have already boiled some water. Do you want to take a bath and change your clothes?"

Baojuan smiled at An Lingrong and tried to please her.

"No need."

At this time, An Lingrong finally set her gaze on Baojuan's face. She felt nothing as she saw her cautious flattery.

In fact, An Lingrong could understand some of Baojuan's thoughts.

Since she was bribed by the Queen and boarded that big ship, it would not be easy for her to get off again.

Therefore, even if it was just to complete the task assigned by the Queen, Baojuan had to stay by her side.

However, An Lingrong had already told the Queen that she needed a new palace maid, and also said that all this was because Baojuan was "dishonest".

The Queen was not a fool. After hearing An Lingrong's words, she could naturally sense that An Lingrong was also slowly realizing the "truth" behind it.

Therefore, as long as the Queen did not really want to push An Lingrong away, she would definitely not give Baojuan any new instructions at this time.

That is to say, Baojuan's current attentiveness is purely out of her desire to please An Lingrong.

"My lady, I know that no matter what I say, you will never forget those things. But I have sworn to heaven that I will serve you well. Now you are pregnant with a dragon descendant. This is a great joy. I am also happy for you from the bottom of my heart!"

Seeing that An Lingrong was indifferent, Baojuan changed her previous miserable expression and replaced it with a bright smile, as if she was happy for An Lingrong.

"so what?"

Seeing Baojuan performing hard, An Lingrong just wanted to laugh, so she actually smiled.

"So! I want to serve you well!"

When Baojuan saw An Lingrong also laughed, she thought that her "heartfelt words" moved An Lingrong, and she immediately worked harder.

"Haha, if you really want to make me happy, go ask the Queen when the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a new maid."

An Lingrong's smile didn't change at all, but the words she said made Baojuan's expression change immediately.

"What's wrong? You don't think I can only have you as a maid to serve me, do you?"

An Lingrong knew that deep down in Baojuan's heart, she must have hoped that she was the only palace maid on her side, so that it would be more convenient for Baojuan to act.

However, this is not against the "rules". The Queen is the master of the six palaces, and of course she would not remain indifferent after An Lingrong's open feedback.

"Yes, of course I dare not!" Bao Juan lowered her head, not daring to look An Lingrong in the eye, and then said: "My lady, you don't have to think about anything now, just let me serve you!"

An Lingrong didn't say anything else. She just took off all the jewelry on her head and then washed herself with the hot water that Baojuan had fetched earlier.

Seeing that An Lingrong no longer paid attention to her, Baojuan felt helpless and could only keep it to herself.

……

The next morning, Zhen Huan was supposed to wait for An Lingrong to go pay respects to the Queen together.

Unexpectedly, Jianqiu arrived before they even left the house.

"Aunt Jianqiu?"

When they heard Cui Jinxi's report, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were both stunned.

Jianqiu would come here at this time, something must have happened again.

"Please come in quickly." Zhen Huan asked Cui Jinxi to invite Jianqiu to the main hall for her.

Cui Jinxi took the order and left. Soon, she brought Jianqiu back to Zhen Huan.

However, Jianqiu did not come alone.

She also brought with her a little girl who looked quite young, and judging by her dress, she was undoubtedly a palace maid.

Is this the palace maid that the Queen asked the Imperial Household Department to prepare?

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other and this guess emerged in their minds.

When An Lingrong saw the little girl, her eyes moved.

Precious magpie!

It turned out to be Baoque.

It seems that the queen is still unwilling to let her go, so she prepared another "surprise" like this...

An Lingrong smiled coldly in her heart, but did not show the slightest strange expression on her face.
