An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Let’s not talk about how the distraught Concubine Qi left Jingren Palace.

After she left, the queen immediately called Jianqiu to her side.

"How's Concubine Qi doing?"

Facing the Queen's inquiry, Jianqiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, after talking to you, Concubine Qi seemed listless, as if she had lost hope in everything..."

Talking about Concubine Qi's subsequent reaction, although Jianqiu had a smile on her face, she was still a little sad in her heart.

Actually, Concubine Qi has been on good terms with the queen since she entered the palace.

And precisely because of her stupidity, the Queen, who was still a concubine at the time, began a plan to support the mother and son.

Concubine Qi did live up to the Queen's expectations. Over the years, she had always stood together with the Queen and followed her lead in everything.

It’s a pity that now the queen wants someone to help her achieve her goal.

An "old man" like Concubine Qi is of course her best choice.

"Ah."

The Queen didn't know what Jianqiu was thinking. After listening to Jianqiu's story, she nodded slowly, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Let's put it this way. Take some of the best Longjing tea to Concubine Qi and tell her that it's a gift from me. Let her drink it with the Third Prince. If she still doesn't understand, then you can remind her!"

"Yes."

When Jianqiu heard that the Queen was going to reward Concubine Qi with tea, she was stunned at first.

It is not spring yet, and the new Longjing tea will not be available for supply for several months. The Longjing tea that the Queen is talking about now is the old tea from last year.

The Queen obviously knew this, but she still let me do this. Her meaning is intriguing...

"Go."

The queen waved at Jianqiu, indicating that she could go down.

Even though Jianqiu was full of doubts, she could see that the Queen had no intention of explaining anything, so she could only suppress her doubts in her heart and turned around to go to Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace as the Queen instructed.

……

"Your Majesty, Aunt Jianqiu from the Queen's Palace is here!"

Concubine Qi has been feeling uneasy since she came back from the fight.

The Queen's previous words kept reappearing in her mind, causing Concubine Qi to unconsciously worry about the future of herself and her son.

And at this moment, Cuiguo suddenly ran to tell her that Jianqiu, who was beside the queen, had arrived!

"What did you say? Jianqiu? You're here now?"

Concubine Qi didn't want to face this fact, so she asked Cuiguo three questions in a row.

"Yes!" Cuiguo nodded, and said, "I'm waiting outside the palace gate now!"

"Ah, what you fear will come true!" Concubine Qi muttered in a low voice. Without waiting for Cui Guo to ask, she said, "Please invite her to the side hall first and ask her to wait. I will go there right away!"

"Yes." Cuiguo nodded without any doubt and ran out to greet Jianqiu.

Jianqiu was the queen's chief maid, so her status in the harem was certainly not the same as that of an ordinary maid.

For example, Cuiguo, although she is Concubine Qi's confidant and does quite well in Changchun Palace, if compared with Jianqiu, there is no comparison between the two.

"This……"

Concubine Qi paced back and forth in her room alone, not wanting to go out to meet Jianqiu at all.

But she also knew that she couldn't escape.

Jianqiu must have come here at the Queen's order.

She could not refuse the Queen's words, nor could she ignore them.

Thinking of this, Concubine Qi took a deep breath and walked out with her head held high.

In the side hall, Jianqiu was standing aside.

Although Cuiguo wanted to ask her to sit down, Jianqiu easily solved the problem with just one sentence.

According to Jianqiu, she and Cuiguo were the same, both were palace maids, just serving different masters.

Because of this, when Cuiguo asked her to sit down, Jianqiu certainly didn't dare to sit down.

She came here "with a mission", and if Concubine Qi took the opportunity to turn the tables on her because of such a small matter, she would be so angry that she would die.

"Why are you just standing there?"

Concubine Qi had finally prepared herself mentally, but as soon as she came in, she saw Jianqiu and Cuiguo standing in the side hall. The two of them were just standing in the hall, and there were chairs next to them, but they didn't sit down to wait.

Concubine Qi was startled at first, then pretended to be calm and said, "Jianqiu, the Queen asked you to come here, is there anything she wants to tell you?"

Although she had just returned from Jingren Palace, in front of Jianqiu, Concubine Qi still wanted to save face and maintain her status as the mistress of the palace.

Jianqiu knew all about this, and upon hearing this, she bowed to Concubine Qi, and then said, "Reporting to Concubine Qi, I am following the order of the Queen to bring you this 'Dragon Well Before the Rain'."

As she spoke, Jianqiu took out a can of tea leaves, and then paused for a moment before continuing, "The Queen said that she knows that the Third Prince has a hard time studying, so she wants you to drink this tea with the Third Prince. In addition, the Queen also hopes that you can teach the Third Prince well. If there is anything missing, just report back to the Queen!"

"what……"

As Concubine Qi listened to Jianqiu's retelling, her expression showed no excitement or emotion, but rather a bit stiff.

It was not until Cuiguo, who was standing beside her, could not help but secretly remind her that Concubine Qi finally reacted, "Cuiguo, put the tea away!"

After saying that, Concubine Qi cast her gaze towards Jianqiu again and said with a forced smile, "Jianqiu, go back and tell the Empress that I have made note of this 'grace'. Both I and Hongshi will definitely not let the Empress down!"

"Yes, I will take my leave now."

Jianqiu just said such a long list, actually it was mainly to get the "guarantee" from Concubine Qi.

Because before in Jingren Palace, facing the Queen's hint, Concubine Qi did not express her opinion on the spot.

Due to her status, the queen could not embarrass her directly and could only let her go.

However, seeing that the potential "threat" was becoming stronger and stronger, the Queen certainly could not remain indifferent.

Therefore, Concubine Qi must also express her attitude.

If you agree, then you have to do things for her like Chun'er does. Otherwise, you have to be prepared to be abandoned by her!

However, Concubine Qi knew very well that she had long been out of favor, and even for the sake of her son, she could not lose the protection of the Queen.

So, Concubine Qi had no other choice at all.

Seeing that Concubine Qi had made up her mind and Jianqiu had achieved her goal, she naturally had no reason to stay in Changchun Palace and immediately offered to resign.

"My lady, are you okay?"

Cuiguo followed Concubine Qi's request and put the can of Longjing tea into the cupboard.

When she came back, she found Jianqiu was gone.

Concubine Qi was still in the palace, but she was sitting on the armchair with a look of despair.

"Miss!"

Cuiguo was terrified and rushed over to check on Concubine Qi, "What happened to you?"

Concubine Qi shook her head and said, "Cuiguo, tell me, is there any way to get Concubine An and the others to come to my place? Or should I go to see them directly?"
