An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Just as Cao Qinmo had thought before, Shen Meizhuang's request to the Queen Mother was not only closely related to herself, but also really brought her great benefits!

Originally, Cao Qinmo thought that if she wanted to get her daughter back, she might have to wait until Concubine Hua fell.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Meizhuang just gave a few reasons and then begged the empress dowager, and the empress dowager actually agreed!

Seeing that the matter was done, Concubine Hua had no choice but to deliver the gifts with a sullen face. She then tried to get closer to the Queen Mother, but was also rejected. In the end, she had to return home in disappointment.

Cao Qinmo was originally very uneasy, fearing that as soon as she took her daughter out of Shoukang Palace, she would be attacked by Concubine Hua like a violent storm.

The Queen Mother also noticed her embarrassment, so she deliberately kept Cao Qinmo and said that she would let Sun Zhuxi teach her so that Cao Qinmo could educate the princess seriously.

As soon as these words were spoken, they sounded like the sound of nature to Cao Qinmo, making her want to kowtow to the Queen Mother dozens of times immediately.

"Well, Concubine Cao, you gave birth to a princess for the emperor, and you have made great contributions to the country. Although the emperor allowed you to take care of Wen Yi because of Concubine Hua instead of putting her directly in the Southern Three Houses, he still trusted you. You must not let me and the emperor down again!"

As soon as Concubine Hua left, the Queen Mother criticized Cao Qinmo.

Cao Qinmo had nothing to say except to nod in agreement about what the Queen Mother said.

If it were someone else, she would naturally have a lot of reasons to refute.

But now it was the Queen Mother who was warning her. It was only through the Queen Mother that she was able to get her daughter back. So, no matter what the Queen Mother said now, Cao Qinmo would just accept it obediently.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother knew that she and Cao Qinmo had nothing more to explain.

What's more, it is true to say so. With Hua Fei's status as a concubine, even if Cao Qinmo has the bonus of being a princess, she is no match for her. Once the two of them start to quarrel, it is no wonder which side the emperor will side with.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Sun Zhuxi took Cao Qinmo out.

After Cao Qinmo, her wet nurse, and Princess Wen Yi, who was still in her arms, said goodbye and left, the empress dowager slowly turned her gaze to Cao Qinmo, who had not spoken a word since Concubine Hua left.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

The Queen Mother said: "Your mercy today will make Concubine Hua hate you to the core!"

"Haha, I was able to get what I wanted because the Queen Mother was willing to help me make it happen."

Shen Meizhuang first flattered the Queen Mother, and then changed the subject and said, "As for other things, I don't take them to heart."

She made it clear that she didn't care about being hated by Concubine Hua because the two sides were already in a hostile relationship.

In addition, Shen Meizhuang meant that she was considering everything for the royal family, that is, for the emperor and Yongzheng.

There is no doubt that the last part is what really satisfied the Queen Mother.

Just like at the beginning, when she heard that Concubine Hua was coming, no matter how unhappy she was in her heart, the Queen Mother could not refuse her entry as she had done before. Instead, she planned to appease her.

But no one expected that Concubine Hua, with Princess Wen Yi, would become the straw that broke the camel's back, and caused the Queen Mother to change her attitude instantly.

"As long as you understand what you are doing, I will say the same thing. As long as you serve the emperor well and do your job well, you don't have to worry about anything else!"

Before letting Shen Meizhuang leave, the Queen Mother said meaningfully, "Hua Fei has been arrogant for a long time. You are pregnant now. Even if she has a prejudice against you, she dare not do anything openly. But you must know that it is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark! If you have time, go and see the Queen. The Queen also has the responsibility to protect the concubines."

"Yes, I will follow the Queen Mother's instructions."

Shen Meizhuang knew that the Queen Mother wanted her to surrender to the Queen. After expressing her understanding, she left Shoukang Palace at her signal.

……

"My lady, what are you thinking about? Why do you seem so worried since you came back from Yonghe Palace?"

In Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan was sitting under the window, staring at the small porcelain bottle in her hand, lost in thought.

Liu Zhu just happened to come over with a pot of freshly brewed tea. Seeing that Zhen Huan was still in the same state as when she left, even her posture had not changed, she couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"nothing."

Zhen Huan shook her head and said, "Put down the tea, and go out first. I want to be alone for a while."

"Oh." Seeing that he couldn't get any answer, Liu Zhu could only suppress his worry in his heart.

She is not as flexible as Huanbi. Although she often puts herself in Zhen Huan's shoes, she is not as good as Huanbi in adapting to changing circumstances.

Just like now, Liu Zhu saw that Zhen Huan was still hiding something in her heart and was unwilling to say it, but the people who went to Yonghe Palace with Zhen Huan before were Cui Jinxi and Huanbi.

Liu Zhu did not witness the entire process, so of course he couldn't figure out what had happened no matter how hard he tried.

"By the way, don't say anything to Huanbi after you get out. I'm fine, don't worry."

When Liu Zhu was about to leave the room, Zhen Huan suddenly called her and gave her a reminder.

"Yes, the servant knows."

When Liu Zhu heard Zhen Huan's words, her body stiffened for a moment.

Because she really wanted to ask Cui Jinxi and the others to see if they could discuss the reason why Zhen Huan was acting abnormally.

However, Zhen Huan knew her maid very well, and she exposed Liu Zhu's little thoughts with just one sentence.

After Liu Zhu left, Zhen Huan spread out her palms, and the seemingly ordinary little porcelain bottle lay quietly in her palms, and she recalled what An Lingrong said to her when they left.

"Sister, I know you value friendship, but I'm sure you've learned a lesson from what happened before. This is the sweet honey I carefully prepared. It has no other uses, but it can help you calm down. If you can't fall asleep because you're upset, mix this with some spices and burn them together, and you'll be able to sleep soundly until dawn."

When An Lingrong gave herself this bottle of fragrant honey, she also said these words.

Although according to An Lingrong, this was a gift for Zhen Huan to use for sleeping.

However, An Lingrong's expression and tone at that time revealed a "profound meaning".

Based on this point, Zhen Huan subconsciously felt that An Lingrong's purpose in giving her this thing was definitely not what she said on the surface.

At the same time, Zhen Huan recalled that she was always feeling uneasy when she was with the emperor recently.

"Could it be that Ling Rong guessed it?"

Zhen Huan gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and stuffed the bottle into the small box on the windowsill. Then she turned around, pushed the door and walked out.

Although it was a little difficult to say, at this time, she really needed to find Cui Jinxi to talk!
