"Aunt Jinxi, what's wrong?"

Baojuan has been rather well behaved recently since she suffered a setback last time.

Now seeing Cui Jinxi, the head maid of Suiyuxuan, coming to her side, she was also confused, so she asked on behalf of An Lingrong.

In fact, according to convention, a palace maid in charge like Cui Jinxi usually has to follow the master.

However, Sui Yuxuan was not a proper palace, and Zhen Huan, as "Wan Changzai" at the time, naturally lived in the main palace, so Cui Jinxi was assigned to live with Zhen Huan.

Later, when Jianqiu came and caused a "palace moving incident", An Lingrong simply decided that neither she nor Zhen Huan would live in the main palace, but would directly live in the east and west side palaces. As for the main palace, they would simply leave it empty. On weekdays, everyone could gather in it, but no one would live there to avoid a lot of trouble.

Her proposal was initially rejected by Zhen Huan, who also tried hard to persuade An Lingrong to move in.

But seeing that persuasion was futile, Zhen Huan finally had no choice but to give up.

On the other hand, An Lingrong had no intention of competing with Zhen Huan for her, so Cui Jinxi was still Zhen Huan's person, but she would also help serve An Lingrong from time to time. Her current identity was more like the "chief housekeeper" of Sui Yuxuan, which was in line with her duties as the head maid.

"Good luck to you, noble lady An. I am here to tell you that Concubine Qi sent Cuiguo, who is by her side, to say that she plans to invite the ladies to go to Changchun Palace to enjoy the flowers next month!"

"Invite us to enjoy the flowers?"

An Lingrong repeated what Cui Jinxi said and her brows suddenly frowned.

She didn't have much contact with Concubine Qi, but one thing was certain, the other party was not someone who liked to be lively. She remembered that in her previous life, Concubine Qi had never arranged such a thing.

By the way, speaking of flower viewing, it seems the Queen held one at that time?

Moreover, it was through this incident that Noble Lady Fucha's child was harmed, and it also gave her the opportunity to use "Scar-Removing Glue" on Zhen Huan!

Thinking of this, An Lingrong narrowed her eyes to block out the flickering brilliance.

If that's the case, then it all seems to make sense.

It is no secret that Concubine Qi is the Queen's person, and it would not be surprising if it was the Queen who instructed Concubine Qi.

"Yes."

Cui Jinxi also felt the doubt expressed by An Lingrong at that moment, and felt it was absurd as well.

After all, it’s so cold today that the flowers haven’t bloomed yet. What can the ladies see if they go to Changchun Palace?

Relying on the senses honed from living in the palace for many years, Cui Jinxi instinctively told herself that Concubine Qi might have bad intentions.

Cui Jinxi had already said this to Zhen Huan in the East Wing Hall.

Zhen Huan was also a little worried at the time, so she asked Cui Jinxi to come and tell An Lingrong.

In addition to informing them of this matter, Zhen Huan also wanted them to be prepared early.

An Lingrong is not alone now, there is a dragon fetus in her belly!

Even for this reason, we have to be cautious.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I understand."

An Lingrong "heard the sound of the strings and understood the elegant meaning", and immediately realized what Zhen Huan's intention was, so she smiled at Cui Jinxi, indicating that she would take it to heart.

"There is still about a month left. Maybe something else will happen during this time. Who knows..."

Cui Jinxi said this, bowed respectfully, and said, "Then I will not disturb you to rest."

After getting An Lingrong's nod, Cui Jinxi turned around and walked out.

"My lady! Please forgive me for speaking frankly!"

As soon as Cui Jinxi left, Baojuan could no longer hold back and said directly to An Lingrong: "I don't think you can go!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

Faced with Baojuan's "concern", An Lingrong looked at her with a smile, waiting for Baojuan's next words.

Although Baojuan is the Queen's person, it is usually Jianqiu who contacts her. Of course, the Queen herself will not easily lower her status.

So, An Lingrong was very curious, did Baojuan know any "secret"?

"I just feel that since the young lady is pregnant, it is inconvenient for her to go to crowded places."

Baojuan lowered her head so that no one could see her expression, and her voice was also low.

An Lingrong heard this without changing her smile. She only said, "But Concubine Qi has good intentions. If I don't go, won't people think that I am arrogant because I have the dragon fetus in my body?"

An Lingrong's words were very reasonable, and Baojuan couldn't think of anything to refute for a moment.

But for Baojuan, although she didn't know whether the Queen and Concubine Qi had any plans, she could guess something based on her intuition.

"My lady, Sister Baojuan is worried about you."

At this moment, Liuyun, who had been standing quietly by the side like a background board, suddenly spoke.

Baojuan was stunned by Liuyun’s words. She didn’t expect that she would speak up for her.

It was clear that when Baojuan tried to win over Liuyun before, she had already refused. Since then, Baojuan began to consciously distance herself from Liuyun.

But now Liuyun was speaking for her, which made Baojuan feel a little complicated for a moment.

An Lingrong watched this scene with a smile and ignored what the two said.

In fact, An Lingrong had already figured out Concubine Qi's intentions.

When Cui Jinxi came to inform her, An Lingrong reviewed the whole situation.

But at this time, An Lingrong also wanted to see whether the two "palace maids" around her would have different reactions.

Just like Baojuan was bribed by the Queen, she could also take this opportunity to give her "advice", which would not be strange at this moment.

As for Liuyun, although An Lingrong wanted to use him for her own purposes, it ultimately depended on whether Liuyun himself was willing.

In the end, their reactions were quite good. They all opposed my going on the date. This was quite interesting...

"Forget it. I know your good intentions."

Seeing that the two of them still looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated, An Lingrong simply waved at them.

Then, An Lingrong said that she had her own ideas about this and told them not to worry about it anymore.

Baojuan saw that An Lingrong's attitude was very firm, so of course there was not much to say.

Liuyun had originally been a dull person, and even after being trained by An Lingrong for a while, his nature had not changed much.

Seeing that the two palace maids had become well-behaved, An Lingrong did not intend to care about them.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Xiazi from the Yangxin Palace suddenly came and told An Lingrong that the emperor would stay at Suiyuxuan tonight, so she could prepare early.

When An Lingrong heard this, her eyes flashed, and she realized that the emperor's purpose of coming this time might not just be for her.
