An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 291 Concubine Qi Copying Scriptures

Since arriving at the palace, Concubine Hua has fought with the Queen countless times.

Because of this, they know each other well.

Hua Fei knew exactly what the Queen was capable of. Similarly, the Queen also knew Hua Fei's capabilities.

In the past, the reason why Concubine Hua was able to suppress the Queen was all because of the Emperor's favoritism.

But things are different now. In the past two months, Yongzheng has come to Yikun Palace only a few times, but he has been extremely fond of Zhen Huan.

Although Hua Fei's power to assist in managing the six palaces was restored and she was not held accountable for the incident with Shen Meizhuang, the loss of the emperor's favor was like "killing someone and destroying their heart."

While Hua Fei was envious and jealous, she also felt uneasy.

She has always been proud and willful, and does whatever she wants in the harem, but this does not mean that Concubine Hua really does not know where her uniqueness comes from.

The reason why she was favored by everyone in the harem was all because of the emperor.

One day in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's attention was no longer on himself, then...

“It will all change beyond all recognition.”

After sending everyone away, Concubine Hua stood alone by the window, thinking back on the emperor's attitude towards her these days, and couldn't help feeling sad.

……

On the other hand, the Queen had not taken any other action since she summoned Noble Lady Fucha alone. Apart from accepting greetings from the concubines every day, she practiced calligraphy and painting, and her life was very relaxing.

After hearing that Zhen Huan was in trouble, the Queen did not have any unusual reaction.

At that time, Jianqiu even suggested to the Queen whether she should intervene.

After all, only Zhen Huan can now share the favor from Concubine Hua, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Hua is very different from before.

Jianqiu thought that this was also an opportunity for the Queen. If she grasped it well, she could reap the benefits behind the scenes.

However, the queen did not think so.

"The emperor loves Wan Guiren's youth and beauty, but she is young and ignorant, and she gets carried away when she is not careful."

The queen carefully looked at a painting, with a satisfied smile on her face, and said as if talking to herself: "But as long as the emperor is willing to pamper me, what's wrong with being a little frivolous?"

"Your Highness, do you mean to wait and see?"

Jianqiu was originally helping to grind ink nearby. After hearing these words, she immediately understood what the Queen meant.

"It's not just the trapped people who are anxious, and this 'bird in a cage' may not be left without love!"

The queen narrowed her eyes with a smile, blocking out the malice that surged like a tidal wave.

She has made her attitude clear, which is to just ignore it.

So after the morning meeting, Concubine Qi came over and took the initiative to talk about this matter. The Queen also looked unhurried.

"Concubine Qi, you are an old woman, and you are also the biological mother of the Third Prince. You should focus more on your son instead of haggling over these little girls."

The Queen scolded Concubine Qi, and then asked, "By the way, how is Hongshi's study going recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. This...I am not sure about it either."

Concubine Qi originally ran over excitedly and wanted to eat melon with the Queen, but she didn't expect the Queen to be interested in it at all. Instead, she asked about her son's situation.

If we are talking about gossip, then Concubine Qi really has endless energy.

But when it comes to the Third Prince, it's not that Concubine Qi is unwilling to care about him, but her son is gradually growing up and has his own ideas, and he will not tell her everything in detail.

Apart from that, even the Third Prince himself felt overwhelmed by the homework in the study. Even if Concubine Qi wanted to ask about it, it was like listening to a mystery. She was unable to do so.

"You, if you have these thoughts, why don't you focus on serious things like this!"

Seeing Concubine Qi's embarrassed look, the Queen immediately felt furious, "Stop making groundless accusations and gossiping. As a concubine, you should set an example yourself and set a good example for your son!"

After saying this, the Queen thought about it for a while and knew that Concubine Qi would not take it to heart, so she said, "I see that you are too idle on weekdays. There are a few Buddhist scriptures here. You can take them back and copy them, and recite the scriptures in front of the Buddha every day to pray for blessings!"

"Your Majesty! Are you going to punish me?"

When Concubine Qi first heard the Queen say this, she didn't take it to heart.

But who would have thought that as soon as the queen finished speaking, Jianqiu beside her actually took out several thick Buddhist scriptures and placed them in front of her.

Looking at those scriptures, Concubine Qi felt her vision suddenly go dark. She then turned to look at the queen, her eyes also full of disbelief.

"I hope you can understand the Buddhist principles and calm your mind by reading Buddhist scriptures. Besides, copying scriptures is a merit. It is also a good thing for the Third Prince. It is better than you doing nothing!"

The Queen's tone was full of good intentions for Concubine Qi and her son. Coupled with her majestic expression, Concubine Qi, who originally wanted to refute, suddenly dared not say a word.

"Yes, I thank the Queen for thinking of me!"

Concubine Qi's voice was obviously several degrees lower than before. After she finished speaking, she asked Cuiguo to take the scripture from Jianqiu.

"By the way, after you finish copying the scriptures, you can send them to Shoukang Palace. This will be a way to pay respects to the Queen Mother and also to please her."

When Concubine Qi was about to leave, the Queen stopped her and gave her some advice.

"Yes!"

This time, Concubine Qi did not act stupidly. Instead, she instantly understood that the Queen wanted her to take the opportunity to please the Queen Mother. She immediately regained her energy and assured the Queen with great confidence that she would complete the task.

……

At the same time, in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was talking to An Lingrong.

"To be honest, I haven't seen you and Concubine Hui for quite some time. Seeing that you look better, I feel relieved."

The Queen Mother smiled and told An Lingrong about some interesting things that happened when she summoned Shen Meizhuang yesterday. She expressed her gratitude for Shen Meizhuang's thoughtfulness to her, but then she became worried about her health.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your concern. I am very happy to see that Your Majesty is well!"

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Sister Mei has the Queen Mother's blessing, so she will be fine."

After saying this, An Lingrong did not wait for the Queen Mother to express her opinion on the matter, but took out an exquisite headband from the side and said to the Queen Mother: "This is a headband embroidered by me personally, using the fabric that the Queen Mother had awarded me before. Although my craftsmanship is not as good as the skilled craftsmen in the palace, I thought that it would be windy tonight, so I wanted to present it to the Queen Mother!"

"You are so thoughtful. Look at the feathers of this phoenix. Each feather is clearly visible!"

The Queen Mother took the headband in her hand and examined it carefully. She could not help but marvel at it. At the same time, she immediately recognized the embroidery skills used by An Lingrong and said, "You are good at needlework. Is it Suzhou embroidery?"

"Your Majesty, you have a keen eye! When I was at home, I was taught by my mother, so I know a thing or two."

An Lingrong answered all the empress dowager's questions one by one, which aroused the empress dowager's interest, and the two sides chatted about the matter for a while.

Seeing An Lingrong looking calm and having specially made a headband for her, the Queen Mother was moved and recalled what An Lingrong had said before. She said, "Come to think of it, Concubine Hui does look unhappy. She seems to have something on her mind. I'm afraid it's all because of Concubine Wan!"
