An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Inside the Forbidden City, in the Yikun Palace.

The lights were bright, and countless palace servants were taking care of the affairs of the palace. Everything was orderly and well-organized.

"My queen, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are here!"

Inside the main hall of Yikun Palace, a beautiful lady was sitting on a small couch. She was very graceful and was lazily tasting the tribute fruits from outside. Upon hearing this, she frowned and asked, "Why are the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs here at this time?"

The woman dressed as a palace maid replied respectfully, "It is the Queen's will that the palaces for the new ladies to live in have been decided, so she asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and report to the Queen."

"In that case, let someone in."

Concubine Hua put down the silver fork in her hand. When she thought of the election scene she witnessed that day, she couldn't help feeling a little angry. Then she glared at the eunuch who walked into the palace.

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty Hua Fei!"

Huang Guiquan was also feeling bitter at this time, thinking that as the General Manager of the Imperial Household Department, he seemed to be in a high position and had great power, but in fact, he was promoted mostly because of Hua Fei's power to assist in managing the six palaces.

The Queen obviously wanted to disgust Concubine Hua by distributing titles to the newly-arrived beauties, so she deliberately asked him to deliver the order. Huang Guiquan was unable to refuse the Queen's order, so he had no choice but to come.

Huang Guiquan suppressed his helplessness and said carefully, "Your Highness, Concubine Hua, there are eight new ladies entering the palace, and their residences have been decided. The Queen asked me to present this to Your Highness for your review. If Your Highness feels it is inappropriate, please make changes!"

"Yeah." Hua Fei responded lightly, and with a glance, Song Zhi beside her took the book from the tray and handed it to Hua Fei respectfully.

Hua Fei was flipping through the book, and when she saw the three words "Wan Chang Zai", her eyes froze slightly.

"Live in Chengqian Palace?" Concubine Hua threw the book in her hand aside casually and sneered, "Is this Concubine Wan the one who was good at speaking during the election?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Huang Guiquan nodded obediently. At the same time, he guessed that based on Concubine Hua's reaction, she was probably very displeased with Concubine Wan!

"Who arranged this Chengqian Palace? She is just a concubine, so how can she be qualified?"

There was no smile on Concubine Hua's face at this time, she only questioned Huang Guiquan coldly.

Huang Guiquan was sweating profusely, and said quickly: "It was arranged by the Queen. The Queen also knows that the Emperor never cares about this matter..."

When a new beauty enters the palace, it should be the Queen's job to take care of her. However, because Concubine Hua has the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, she is allowed to review everything as well.

"Haha, the Queen is always able to understand the Emperor's feelings!"

Concubine Hua curled her lips, motioned Songzhi to pick up the book, and then flipped through it in front of her.

After looking at it for a while, Concubine Hua asked again, "Why did this Concubine Wan stand out so much during the palace selection?"

Huang Guiquan said: "It seems that the concubine of the Xia family, the Baoyi Zuoling, bullied another concubine with words, and the Wan Changzai couldn't stand it, so she spoke out to help..."

Huang Guiquan paused for a moment, and seeing that Concubine Hua had no intention of interrupting him, he continued, "According to the eunuch who went to announce the decree and send a nanny a few days ago, this Xia family is extremely cunning and arrogant, and she doesn't even take the aunt sent by the palace seriously!"

As soon as Huang Guiquan said this, Concubine Hua's eyes suddenly became sharper.

"Oh? Is this happening?"

Hua Fei pondered for a while, then said: "Since Wan Changzai is so kind-hearted, let her move in with the concubine who was rescued that day! Isn't it appropriate for a small family to be matched with such a self-righteous person?"

Huang Guiquan asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want them to all live in Chengqian Palace?"

"What a fool! Is it possible that there is no other place besides this Liugong?"

Concubine Hua glared at Huang Guiquan fiercely and said, "Find a quiet place away from people to house them. Do you still need my advice on such a small matter?"

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is absolutely right! I understand!"

Huang Guiquan immediately sensed that Concubine Hua was unhappy when he heard this, and nodded quickly, then said: "Why not go to Suiyuxuan? It's quiet there, and few people go there..."

"Hmm." Concubine Hua responded indifferently, and then ordered Songzhi to send Huang Guiquan away.

Songzhi sent the person out of the palace and returned to Concubine Hua again, but she seemed a little worried.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Concubine Hua glanced at Songzhi.

"My queen, it is said that Wan Changzai looks like the late queen. Now you have sent them to Sui Yu Xuan. If the emperor learns of this in the future, will it be a problem?"

Songzhi hesitated to tell the rumors, but she was worried that Concubine Hua's actions would displease the emperor.

"Oh, so what even if they are similar?" Hua Fei smiled coldly, "If the emperor really cared, why would he only grant me the position of a concubine? That's it, the old woman, the queen, only knows how to please the emperor to show her virtue and generosity, but I just don't want to do what she wants!"

"Yes……"

Seeing Concubine Hua like this, Songzhi naturally didn't dare to say anything.

When this news reached Jingren Palace, the Queen simply smiled and did not stop it, so the living quarters of these new beauties were decided.

……

"My lord, you are doing very well."

In the side room of Zhen Mansion.

Aunt Fangruo looked at An Lingrong who was walking lightly with lotus steps, and nodded slightly.

During these days, she taught Zhen Huan and An Lingrong court etiquette as ordered.

Originally, Fang Ruo thought that since An Lingrong came from a humble background, it would be quite difficult for her to learn etiquette. However, when she really started to learn, she found that An Lingrong's progress was no slower than Zhen Huan's, which made Fang Ruo secretly shocked.

It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. Although Miss An seems to be taciturn, she is actually thoughtful and calm. Perhaps she will have her own destiny in the future!

"My two young ladies, you are both well versed in palace etiquette and the status of the harem. Now that the day of entering the palace is not far away, I ask you to read the palace rules carefully and behave properly after entering the palace, so that you can maintain your long-term security."

While Fang Ruo was giving the two of them earnest instructions, she also looked at Zhen Huan's beautiful face and sighed in her heart.

They look so similar, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"Thank you for your teaching, Auntie."

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan both bowed to Fang Ruofu. Compared with Zhen Huan, An Lingrong was undoubtedly more proficient in etiquette.

This was not the result of her hard practice in private, but after staying in the palace for so many years, some things had already been ingrained in her bones. With such a lifetime of memories, An Lingrong naturally did not need to work hard on these trivial details.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for An Lingrong and others to enter the palace.

"My two young ladies, please take good care of yourselves!"

On the day of leaving the mansion, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan boarded the carriage sent by the palace one after another. Zhen Yuandao had already finished his private words with Zhen Huan, and now he brought his family to see them off according to etiquette.

"Father, mother, you must take care of your health. I will be in the palace soon and it will be hard for me to see my parents again. Yurao, you must be more attentive to your sister and serve father and mother well!"

Zhen Huan looked at her parents and sister, tears in her eyes, and she was obviously reluctant to leave.

"My dear, you must be well..."

Aunt Xiao was also beside An Lingrong's carriage. Her eyes were red as she kept nagging her.

But Aunt Xiao had never been educated, so apart from repeatedly asking An Lingrong to take care of herself, it was unclear what else she had to say.

"I will. Auntie, please be careful on your way back."

An Lingrong nodded and at the same time stretched out her hand and shook hands tightly with Aunt Xiao.

Her mother has passed away, and only Aunt Xiao, the elder who has watched her grow up since she was a child, is left and still has some true feelings for her.

It's a pity that in her previous life, she was fully immersed in treating her father well, but she had little influence in the early stage. After she gained favor by relying on the queen, she did benefit the entire Anjia family. However, her true love was misplaced after all, and she might as well be fed to a dog!

This time, An Lingrong naturally put herself first. If there was a chance in the future to take care of Aunt Xiao, she would naturally not be stingy, but that is a story for later.

"Okay, it's time to go!"

At Fang Ruo's order, two young eunuchs drove the carriage slowly towards the Forbidden City.

Under the reluctant gaze of the Zhen family and Aunt Xiao, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, carrying different expectations and holding completely different ideas in their hearts, slowly entered the royal palace that everyone had dreamed of.

The carriage drove all the way and arrived at the side door of the palace.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were helped out of the carriage by the young eunuchs. Looking at the red walls and green tiles, and the towering palace in the distance that seemed to have no end, they all took a deep breath.

Unlike Zhen Huan who was nervous and anxious, An Lingrong was calm.

Forbidden City, I am finally back!

An Lingrong narrowed her eyes slightly to hide the flickering brilliance.

"Are they all in Suiyuxuan?"

At this moment, Aunt Fangruo, who was not far away, finished a conversation with an old nanny. After learning where Zhen Huan and An Lingrong lived, she let out a low cry.

This commotion naturally caught Zhen Huan's attention, so she took Huanbi, Liuzhu, and An Lingrong with her to ask Aunt Fangruo.

"Aunt, what happened?"

Facing Zhen Huan's question, Aunt Fang Ruo naturally couldn't say anything bad, so she could only force a smile and then said, "Nothing, but you and Miss An are also destined to live in Sui Yu Xuan. You two ladies, don't worry. Next, the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will lead you to the palace!"
