An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

After the reward was given, Su Peisheng and the others knew that An Lingrong would have to order people to arrange various things herself, so they did not continue to disturb her and respectfully took their leave.

After Su Peisheng and the others left, An Lingrong, accompanied by Baojuan and Liuyun, began to visit Yonghe Palace.

As one of the six official palaces, the Yonghe Palace covers a vast area, and its various regulations cannot be compared with the Suiyuxuan, which was converted from a stage.

"My lady, this palace is so magnificent!"

Since Liuyun entered the palace, except for the time when he was educated by Jianqiu in the Queen's Jingren Palace, he had never seen such a large palace. Now, looking at the East Palace where An Lingrong was about to move in, he felt that it was larger than the main hall of Suiyuxuan and the West side hall where they originally lived.

"This Yonghe Palace was renovated during the reign of Emperor Shengzu. The current Empress Dowager has lived here for a long time before she moved to Shoukang Palace."

An Lingrong casually answered Liuyun's curiosity, while thinking about the matter in her heart.

According to her previous speculation, combined with what Yongzheng said at the time, it seemed that he intended to promote her to concubine after she gave birth to the child.

However, there are many vacant palaces in the East and West Palaces. Why did Yongzheng choose the Yonghe Palace to live in? Was it really just a careless decision?

An Lingrong naturally didn't believe this.

As an emperor, everything Yongzheng did was often meaningful, and he would not just do things according to his own ideas.

Considering the identity of the previous owner of this palace, An Lingrong felt that she had to go to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

Maybe I can hear some relevant news from the Queen Mother, but I don’t know for sure!

"My lady, Liuyun and I will go put our things in order. Please find a place to rest first!"

Seeing that An Lingrong looked thoughtful, Baojuan guessed that An Lingrong might have thought of something.

But now she has learned her lesson and will not rashly try to pry into An Lingrong's inner thoughts.

"Yeah." An Lingrong nodded to Baojuan, then walked to a chair nearby and sat down.

An Lingrong was indeed thinking now, but she was not analyzing the deeper meaning of the emperor's decision to arrange for her to live in Yonghe Palace.

She was not in a hurry to get to the bottom of this matter.

When I go back to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, I can take the opportunity to ask her. If the Queen Mother knows about it and wants to tell me, she will definitely tell me directly. Otherwise, even if I want to know the truth, it will probably be impossible.

What An Lingrong is analyzing at this moment is the current situation in the harem——

Nowadays, apart from the Queen, there are only three concubines in the palace, namely Concubine Duan, Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi.

Among these three people, at first glance, the weakest one is Concubine Duan, who has been bedridden for many years.

Although she is an "old friend" of Yongzheng, she has formed an irreconcilable hatred with Nian Shilan because of the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine that year. After entering the palace, she has been tortured by the other party a lot, and now she is just a "concubine" in name only.

The only one left is Concubine Qi. Her situation is not much better than Concubine Duan's. They both suffered from "fading beauty and fading love".

However, compared to Concubine Duan, Concubine Qi has the advantage that she has a son, and her grudge with Concubine Hua is not that deep. Although she may be hit by the other party occasionally, her own strength is still there.

Among the three concubines, the most powerful is Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei is a very capable person, and Yongzheng should have some "true feelings" for her. Moreover, with the support of the Nian family, she is the cause of both his success and failure.

"According to the timeline, with Nian Gengyao's return, the emperor's patience with him will reach its limit. Then... the emperor may choose 'her' again?"

An Lingrong thought about her previous life, when the emperor fell in love with Zhen Huan at first sight and then doted on her.

It was not until he went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat that the emperor officially began the liquidation of the Nian family. Zhen Huan cooperated with him from inside and outside and used the tactic of "praising to death" on Concubine Hua.

At that time, because she had received advice from the Queen and had also sensed some signs of trouble, she followed Zhen Huan wholeheartedly. When Zhen Huan was conferred the title of Wanpin, she also achieved the position of a noble lady.

At the moment, because of An Lingrong's instigation, the harem is not all on Zhen Huan's side, but everyone is equally favored, so Zhen Huan is not too eye-catching.

But if the emperor wants to deal with the Nian family, then the next trend will probably be similar to the previous life...

"My lady! Lady Wan is here!"

Just when An Lingrong was analyzing what to do next, Baojuan ran over with a happy look on her face and told An Lingrong that Zhen Huan and the others had arrived.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, An Lingrong's expression changed, then returned to normal again, and she walked out to meet him.

"Sister, you're here so soon. I haven't even cleaned up yet." An Lingrong smiled and bowed to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan also smiled in return, and then said: "Yonghe Palace is so big, even if it has not been cleaned up yet, there should be a place for us sisters to chat, right?"

"Look at what my sister said, come on!" An Lingrong smiled slightly and started to walk around with Zhen Huan.

……

"You don't know, but going to pay respects to the Queen this time really terrified me."

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan left their maids behind and strolled in the small garden of Yonghe Palace.

As they walked, Zhen Huan told An Lingrong what happened to her this morning.

"The queen congratulated me in front of everyone, but I always felt that the tone was not right."

Zhen Huan recalled it and felt that the Queen at that time was very different from what she usually saw.

The Queen was clearly smiling, but Zhen Huan did not sense the slightest kindness from her.

Originally, Zhen Huan thought that she might just be overthinking.

But on the way back, Zhen Huan told Cui Jinxi her guess.

Cui Jinxi's face also turned very ugly at that time, because she, like Zhen Huan, felt something strange at that time!

However, once these words were spoken, they would inevitably cause bad associations. Therefore, Cui Jinxi did not dare to say a word before Zhen Huan took the initiative to speak.

"Jinxi told me that although the queen has always been tolerant of others, it is natural for her to be wary in a situation like ours."

At this point, Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong seriously and added, "Then Concubine Cao started a verbal battle with me. This must have been instigated by Concubine Hua. However, Concubine Fucha was indifferent. I think something is wrong!"

"Sister, do you think that Noble Lady Fucha is going to turn against us again?"

An Lingrong listened quietly at first, until Zhen Huan mentioned that Noble Lady Fucha was just staring at Chun'er at the time, then she spoke.

"That's right." Zhen Huan nodded, frowned slightly, and a look of deep worry appeared on her face.
