Everyone in Yonghe Palace was very happy to see An Lingrong return.

Originally, Baojuan was so attentive at the beginning just to get An Lingrong to take her with her so that she could improve her favorability anytime and anywhere.

Unexpectedly, she ended up making things worse. Not only did she fail to follow An Lingrong to Xianfu Palace, but she also attracted the attention of the newly appointed head aunt Fang Ruo. As a result, she was pulled into the ear room and received a lecture like a storm.

Fangruo is worthy of being the aunt who is responsible for teaching etiquette in the palace. Her ability in preaching is unquestionable. Even Baojuan, who is always good at changing with the times, did not gain any benefit when she fell into Fangruo's hands.

That’s why Baojuan was extremely happy to see An Lingrong coming back.

When the young lady returns, Fangruo will definitely go to serve the nobleman, and he will have no time to take care of her anymore.

When she thought of this, Baojuan's eyes were filled with tears, and the direct result was that when she ran to greet An Lingrong, her eyes were red.

Seeing this scene, An Lingrong couldn't help but look at Fang Ruo.

I thought to myself, this aunt is really amazing. Did she make Baojuan cry?

"My lord, please go and have a rest with Miss Xin!"

Fang Ruo didn't expect that An Lingrong would come back with more than one person, and even brought Xin Changzai with her. However, she was an old veteran in the palace after all, and was used to many ups and downs.

She knew that An Lingrong must have her own reasons for bringing Xin Changzai back.

No matter what An Lingrong wants to do, it is not something that the people below can guess at will.

Because of this, Fang Ruo greeted An Lingrong and Yu Xinchangzai and sent the two young ladies into the main hall. Then, when she turned around and saw Baojuan getting ready to make a move, the smile on her face immediately fell.

"Baojuan, go to the small kitchen and boil some water. Liuyun, prepare some snacks!"

Fang Ruo's voice was gentle, but there was an unquestionable sense of majesty in her tone.

Faced with the order from the aunt in charge, Baojuan's mouth twitched. At this time, she was unable to muster the slightest resistance. She quickly turned around and went to the small kitchen.

Although Liuyun was busy for a while, she was always obedient and did not show any dissatisfaction with Fangruo's arrangements.

Seeing that they were all so honest, Fang Ruo nodded slightly.

Fortunately, her skills are still there, otherwise, she would really feel ashamed of An Lingrong!

When Fang Ruo had been talking with An Lingrong before, she had learned of An Lingrong's request and had also made a promise there, promising that she would manage the entire Yonghe Palace in an orderly manner from top to bottom.

But as soon as these words were spoken, Baojuan came to ruin her plan in public. For Fangruo, this was the greatest humiliation in her long career in the palace!

With that previous experience in mind, Fangruo no longer dared to take Baojuan lightly.

Therefore, when the tea was ready and the snacks were brought over, Fangruo followed behind the two of them, watching them personally arrange everything, and then without saying anything, she pulled Baojuan and Liuyun out.

"My lady, I suddenly remembered that the flowers and trees in the back yard have not been trimmed yet, so I will take Baojuan and the others there right away. If you have any instructions, please send someone to find me!"

Fang Ruo left these words and left the palace at An Lingrong's nod.

"Sister, it seems that what I said to your girl before was not an exaggeration at all!"

When Fangruo brought people in to serve, Xinchang said nothing, but was actually observing these people secretly.

Just like when they were talking outside before, Liuyun sent the eunuchs who were responsible for carrying the sedan chair away, and she watched from a distance. At that time, Xin Chang felt that this girl acted properly. In addition to her own personality, it was probably also largely related to the care she received from An Lingrong on a daily basis.

Now that she has come to Yonghe Palace, she has also experienced the "palace style" of An Lingrong.

Not only were these little girls very nice, but Aunt Fangruo was even more of a surprise to her.

Xin Changzai had been in the palace for quite some time. She had met Fang Ruo before and knew that she was an old aunt who had worked in the palace for many years.

The fact that Fang Ruo was able to come to Yonghe Palace to serve was definitely an assignment from the emperor, which also indirectly shows how favored Lady An is now.

If it were under normal circumstances, no matter how open-minded Xin Changzai was, she would still feel upset when seeing all these things.

But it’s different now. She had heard a hint of “hint” in An Lingrong’s words before.

Combining her own guesses, Concubine Xin was hoping that An Lingrong could become the apple of the emperor's eye.

She had never taken sides before, not only because she didn't want to be controlled by others, but mainly because she had no good choices.

Concubine Hua has an arrogant personality and behaves domineeringly on a daily basis. Although the Queen is dignified and generous, she is overwhelmed by her and has no power to fight back. She can only give in repeatedly.

In this situation, Concubine Xin could only shrink in the corner like a transparent person to protect herself, and could only agree with the Queen when she was not too angry.

But once the Queen and Concubine Hua really started to compete, she could only choose to watch from the sidelines.

What An Lingrong had said before actually hit exactly the sore spot for Concubine Xin.

At the same time, she was forced to face reality.

In this case, Xin Changzai wanted to see what was so attractive about this Concubine An that could impress her.

If the price she offered was really high, then there was no need for me to continue to be so arrogant.

"Sister is so impressed."

An Lingrong simply smiled back at Xin Changzai's compliment, and then continued, "Now it's just the two of us, and I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to stand together with you, and we should help each other, not only for ourselves, but also for our children."

These words were spoken very straightforwardly, and also showed An Lingrong's attitude and sincerity.

Xin Changzai didn't expect An Lingrong to be so straightforward and directly express her thoughts.

After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at An Lingrong, smiled bitterly, and said, "Do you want me to climb up? Do you think I haven't thought about it?"

If possible, she would certainly not be just a concubine.

Xin Changzai is self-aware. She is actually similar to Cao Qinmo. They are both ordinary concubines who, in the eyes of the emperor, have nothing outstanding except giving birth to a princess.

However, unlike himself, Cao Qinmo, because of her dependence on Concubine Hua, was able to rely on Concubine Hua's "pillow talk" to obtain some substantial benefits, such as personally raising the princess as a noble.

Compared with the two, I am far inferior.

Xin Changzai also couldn't stand Hua Fei's behavior, and she knew very well that even if she chose to join Hua Fei, Hua Fei might not accept her.

Rather than being in trouble and not getting any benefits, it is better to stay where you are.

"Sister, you are indeed very sober."

An Lingrong expressed a certain degree of admiration for Xin Changzai's "self-knowledge", but then changed the subject and said, "But in my opinion, this is wrong!"
