"Sisters, what are you making? It smells so good!"

Chun'er ran over from the side, then moved her nose slightly and sniffed the food, then showed a curious look towards An Lingrong and Zhen Huan.

She has also learned her lesson recently and no longer only revolves around Zhen Huan like before. She also has a good attitude towards An Lingrong.

"They are just some trinkets, not worth mentioning."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, then closed the small brocade box in front of Chun'er and put it back into her sleeve.

Some time ago, Xia Dongchun was punished by Concubine Hua with a lash of lashes, which resulted in her becoming disabled and being locked up in the cold palace. Once the news spread, everyone in the six palaces felt insecure. Not only did they try their best to avoid the Yikun Palace, they also restrained their words and deeds in their daily lives, for fear that they would offend Concubine Hua and end up like Xia. It would be too late to regret then.

Chun'er's transformation may be due to the rumors she heard, or it may be because the two nannies gave her some advice.

But no matter what the truth is, An Lingrong is not curious.

She had not deliberately targeted Chun'er before, but the other party had always ignored her. Later, she deliberately argued with her in front of Zhen Huan, as if she was "competing for favor."

Zhen Huan was helpless in the face of Chun'er's childish behavior, so she could only secretly comfort An Lingrong and ask her to be more tolerant.

After all, three people live in the same palace, and it is best if nothing goes wrong.

An Lingrong promised Zhen Huan that she would not argue with Chun'er, but that does not mean she would accept Chun'er's advances.

What's more, Chun'er didn't come here to curry favor, but clearly thought that she could get "benefits" as long as she followed Zhen Huan, so she stared at the box eagerly.

"Alright, alright, you're a grown man now. How can you run out without packing up properly?"

Zhen Huan has been somewhat troubled by Chun'er recently, so she naturally understands An Lingrong at this time.

First of all, this spice was originally developed by An Lingrong herself. An Lingrong was willing to give it to her for use. That was An Lingrong's kindness, and Zhen Huan also appreciated it.

When facing Chun'er, since An Lingrong didn't want to share the spices she made with her, Zhen Huan also felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so she ignored Chun'er's curious and inquiring eyes and sent her back with a few words.

"Oh fine."

Chun'er failed to use the ointment successfully. Seeing that Zhen Huan was not on her side at all, she could only pout in grievance, and then ran back to her palace to continue dressing up.

"It's hard for my sister."

After Chun'er left, Zhen Huan saw that An Lingrong still looked indifferent, but she stepped forward to comfort her: "Although she is a little noisy, she has no intention of harming anyone. We are all in the same palace, so it would be best if we can just get along."

This is not meant to make An Lingrong treat Chun'er well. It's just that in Zhen Huan's view, as long as Chun'er lives in Sui Yuxuan, they will see each other every day, and there is no need to make clear distinctions.

"Sister, I know the good intentions in my heart."

An Lingrong nodded first, and then said in a voice that only Zhen Huan could hear: "It's just that sister doesn't know, I've been used to seeing these people who are on the red top white since I was a child. Lingrong has always kept a distance from such people. I am on good terms with sister, not only because of your help in the past, but also because sister never looks down on Lingrong from a high position. But others may not have the same heart as sister, so why should I care?"

"This……"

Zhen Huan didn't expect to get such an answer from An Lingrong. Now seeing her calm expression, she recalled the day when she was still in her own mansion and accidentally heard Aunt Xiao talking about An Lingrong's past.

Indeed, in the eyes of others, for someone like An Lingrong, who came from a humble family, to be chosen to enter the palace was already a great fortune. Even if she entered the palace, she would be at the bottom of the society. It is precisely because of this that prejudice often arises unconsciously.

Looking back on the past, Zhen Huan naturally knew that Chun'er had always looked down on An Lingrong.

However, compared with Xia Dongchun's arrogance and wantonness, Chun'er had no intention of actively persecuting her in this regard. In the past, she only showed her disdain by not wanting to have too much contact with An Lingrong.

At this moment, Chun'er suddenly showed an abnormal desire to get closer to the two of them. I'm afraid it wasn't a sudden awakening, but another deeper meaning.

When she thought of this, Zhen Huan no longer had the heart to persuade An Lingrong and Chun'er to make peace.

After a moment of silence, Zhen Huan also replied in a low voice: "Since we can't take care of everything, we can only keep ourselves safe. Sister, we should go now."

"Thank you sister."

An Lingrong smiled back, and then the two sisters walked out of Suiyuxuan hand in hand, and went to Jingren Palace with the palace maids.

……

In the Jingren Palace, the concubines of the six palaces took their seats one after another.

"Sister, it seems that Concubine Hua did not come on time."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were sitting very close to each other, whispering to each other, their eyes fixed on the first empty seat.

That was the position that belonged to Concubine Hua, but now most of the concubines in the palace had arrived, but Concubine Hua still hadn't arrived, which made Zhen Huan feel strange.

Although Concubine Hua assists in managing the six palaces, the Queen is the master of the six palaces after all. Isn't it too presumptuous to look down on her like this?

"Shh..."

An Lingrong winked at Zhen Huan, indicating that she should look at Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing and others.

Concubine Hua has been arrogant for a long time, so it is naturally impossible that she is late for the first time. Didn’t you see that Concubine Qi and the others all looked as if they were used to it?

"Ugh……"

Zhen Huan naturally noticed this and immediately let out a sigh.

He was the master of the six palaces, yet he was so neglected that he allowed a concubine to show off his power over him.

It is so frustrating for this queen to be like this!

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan subconsciously glanced at Shen Meizhuang who was sitting opposite her.

Shen Meizhuang looked more haggard than the last time they went to visit her in Xianfu Palace. She must have been tortured by Concubine Hua in the past few days.

Thinking of this reason, Zhen Huan's dissatisfaction with Concubine Hua increased further.

"The Queen is here!"

Not long after, accompanied by the eunuchs singing loudly, the queen, wearing a light blue cheongsam, walked out from the inner hall, supported by the head palace maid Jianqiu.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen!"

As soon as the queen arrived, everyone's spirits were instantly lifted, and then they performed the ceremony according to the procedure.

"No need to be polite, sisters."

The queen smiled slightly and raised her hand to support him. At the same time, her eyes fell on the empty seat beside her.

Concubine Hua didn't come.

Although it was not the first time, it still made the queen purse her lips.

Time and time again, relying on the emperor's favor, Concubine Hua became more and more arrogant and domineering!

"Empress, you have been ill for many days and have just recovered. You must not work too hard!"

Concubine Qi has always been short of tact. She failed to see that the Queen was unhappy. As soon as she sat down, she immediately expressed her worry and concern for the Queen.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Qifei. This is just an old problem of mine. It's nothing serious."

Although the Queen was speechless, she knew Concubine Qi very well. She knew that she was a straightforward person who often spoke without thinking, so she didn't take it to heart.

It just so happens that their conversation can demonstrate the harmony between the sisters, which will not only make Concubine Qi follow her more wholeheartedly, but also win her favor in front of these new concubines entering the palace. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

"Empress Hua is here!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a noise outside, and Concubine Hua finally arrived!

As soon as the young eunuch's report sounded, footsteps were heard, and then a graceful and elegant figure appeared in Jingren Palace.

"Oh, I'm late. Please forgive me, Queen."

Hua Fei yawned, looking very lazy, and before Qi Fei could get angry, she explained, "It's not that I wanted to be late, it's just that the Emperor didn't want me to be awakened. By the time I woke up, it was already too late. I don't think the Empress will blame me, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen's smile faded, and Concubine Qi's face turned green!

An Lingrong watched the changes in the expressions of these big men. Although it was not the first time she had seen it, she was still amazed at Hua Fei's ability to "attract hatred".
