An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

The Empress Dowager had always thought highly of Shen Meizhuang, thinking that she was dignified and generous, and very suitable to be a "standard concubine" who cared for Yongzheng.

After Shen Meizhuang brought the good news, the Queen Mother naturally favored the pregnant Shen Meizhuang more.

However, the Queen Mother did not show any love to Zhen Huan, her good sister who was loved by Shen Meizhuang, but was indifferent to her.

Outsiders may be puzzled by this, but An Lingrong knows it clearly in her heart.

The Queen Mother disliked Zhen Huan because she looked too much like Queen Chun Yuan.

Back then, Empress Chunyuan made Emperor Yongzheng love her to the core.

But after all, she was the daughter of the Ulanara family and the blood relative of the empress dowager, so of course she wouldn't say anything.

The current Zhen Huan is favored enough to sweep across the six palaces in the east and west, but she has nothing to do with Ulanara and Uya. It is not easy for the empress dowager to tolerate her, and it is naturally impossible to treat her differently.

Therefore, when the Queen Mother mentioned Zhen Huan intentionally or unintentionally, An Lingrong realized in her heart that the Queen Mother was also a little restless!

The Queen Mother is the Queen's greatest supporter. In practical terms, she is far more important to the Queen than her husband, the Emperor.

Therefore, the Queen Mother is probably not simply feeling sorry for Shen Meiyu's worries about Zhen Huan, the more likely reason is that the old lady also thinks that now is a suitable opportunity!

"Queen, don't worry..."

Seeing the Queen Mother's smiling face, An Lingrong's thoughts were hard to guess, so she said very cautiously: "Sister Mei and Concubine Wan have been friends since childhood. Now that Concubine Wan has angered His Majesty, if Sister Mei doesn't worry about it, it would seem cold and heartless. The Queen Mother also knows that Sister Mei is not of that nature. This can be said to be human nature!"

"It's a normal human behavior."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and then said, "I can naturally understand Concubine Hui's feelings, but you are both pregnant with the Dragon Child now, and nothing is more important than this matter. You must know that your body is not only yours, but also the Emperor's. Raising the heir well and obeying the Emperor is the proper way!"

"Thank you very much for your teachings, Queen Mother."

An Lingrong looked as if she agreed with it deeply, but she was sighing in her heart.

She originally thought that the Queen Mother should still have some sincerity towards Shen Meizhuang, the girl who had always been so devoted to her.

But now it seems that in this big world, there is nothing bigger than the piece of meat in their stomachs.

Although she felt it was not worth it for Shen Meizhuang for a moment, she changed her mind and thought that this was a very common thing in the harem. An Lingrong was relieved and acted as if she had learned a lot.

"Don't just listen. I am telling you these words because I hope you can be a considerate person beside the emperor."

How could the Queen Mother not see that although An Lingrong appeared obedient on the surface, she was actually a person with her own ideas?

Therefore, the Queen Mother had no choice but to give An Lingrong a few warnings.

Seeing that the time was almost right, the Queen Mother stopped talking and let An Lingrong go back by herself.

"Concubine, please retire."

When An Lingrong heard that she could leave, she immediately felt a sense of relief on her shoulders. After paying her respects, she quickly left Shoukang Palace.

"It seems that I still need to remind you!"

Recalling what the Queen Mother had just said, An Lingrong felt it necessary to remind Shen Meiyu that she should be more cautious in front of the Queen Mother from now on. Even if she had to pretend, she had to act as if nothing had happened.

Otherwise, it would cause the Queen Mother's displeasure and no one would suffer.

……

"Zhuxi, go and call the queen over to me."

Shortly after An Lingrong left, the Queen Mother called Sun Zhuxi to her side and asked her to invite the Queen.

"Queen, you mean..."

After all, they had been master and servant for many years, and Sun Zhuxi realized in an instant that the Queen Mother might have been inspired by something in her previous conversation with Concubine An, so she wanted to ask the Queen to come over.

"Go."

The Queen Mother nodded and signaled Sun Zhuxi to go quickly.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the empress dowager didn't want to talk to him more, Sun Zhuxi didn't dare to say much. Instead, he nodded and went to Jingren Palace.

When he met the queen, Sun Zhuxi repeated what the empress dowager had told him.

"The Queen Mother wants to see me now?"

After hearing this, the Queen's first reaction was surprise.

Out of nowhere, the Queen Mother suddenly wants to go there by herself. I don't think it's a good thing!

"Yes, the Queen Mother asked you to go there. You will know what the matter is after you go there."

Sun Zhuxi looked respectful, but his tone revealed that he would not accept rejection.

"Then please wait for a while, Aunt Sun. I will go change my clothes first."

The queen smiled and nodded, signaling Jianqiu to serve tea to Sun Zhuxi, while she went to the back hall to change her clothes.

The queen felt something was a little strange, but then she changed her mind and realized that she had been "behaving herself" recently. Not only had she not done anything, but she also had no handle that could be used against her, so there was no need to panic.

Besides, the Queen Mother’s call cannot be refused under any circumstances.

A moment later, the queen, who had changed into casual clothes, took her palace maids and eunuchs, got on the queen's carriage, and headed for Shoukang Palace under the leadership of Sun Zhuxi.

When the empress went out, the ceremonial procession led the way. Naturally, this scene made the servants avoid her wherever she went. The little palace maids and eunuchs who knelt to pay their respects also gathered together on both sides of the palace road and stayed obediently.

Such a large formation naturally attracted the attention of Concubine Hua.

"The Queen went to Shoukang Palace. Did the Queen Mother have any instructions?"

When Concubine Hua heard the report from her subordinates, she frowned slightly and said, "Keep sending people to keep an eye on it. If there is any disturbance, report back to me immediately!"

The Queen naturally knew that such a fuss would attract the attention of Concubine Hua, but she was not afraid of it.

Right now, Zhen Huan has been punished to be under house arrest, and Concubine Hua has also been influenced by Nian Gengyao. She cannot return to the top position in the emperor's heart for the time being. Even if she has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, so what?

After all, she is the queen!

As long as I don't make any mistakes, the emperor won't do anything to me, let alone Concubine Hua.

……

"Queen, you see, this is a lot lighter."

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother and the Empress sat opposite each other. Looking at her daughter-in-law, she sighed.

The Empress Dowager also knew that Yongzheng did not love his cousin.

Fortunately, the queen herself knew her own limitations. From the moment she was enthroned as queen, she gave up her wishful thinking of gaining the emperor's favor and instead acted like a virtuous woman.

In this way, Yongzheng, for the sake of his own mother, would certainly not haggle with the Queen.

Even if you don't love someone, at least give them respect on the surface, so that everyone can have a decent ending.

Likewise, this is all the Queen can gain.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam."

The queen smiled and shook her head, saying, "I haven't had much of an appetite lately."

"Who is it because of? Or what is it?"

The Queen Mother immediately understood the Queen's hidden meaning and asked back.
