An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"I have calculated the date before. It will be Princess Wen Yi's first birthday soon. Although we are in the Yuanmingyuan Palace now, the ceremony cannot be abandoned. The emperor has also instructed me to ask Concubine Cao for her opinion. She said she would follow the emperor's arrangements!"

The Queen told Yongzheng the results of her communication with Cao Qinmo, and then she took out the plan she had prepared.

The princess's first birthday banquet was, after all, a family affair, so they simply held a banquet at Jiuzhou Qingyan, inviting all the concubines to attend, and then arranged some singing and dancing performances by the concubines, and everyone gave gifts and prayed for the princess, and the whole process was almost complete.

Having said that, the Old Summer Palace is now filled with Yongzheng's concubines.

The Queen naturally couldn't make up her mind whether to call other princes from the royal family, so she simply handed the final decision-making power back to the Emperor, allowing the Emperor to arrange the general direction of the matter.

"Well, the Queen has made very appropriate arrangements. I think there is no problem."

Yongzheng read the booklet handed to him by the Queen and thought it was quite good.

However, when the Queen asked Yongzheng whether he wanted to invite all the princes and their wives and families to come to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate, Yongzheng fell silent.

The emperor suddenly stopped talking, and the temperature in the entire Qinzheng Hall dropped several degrees.

"Let me think about this matter again."

In the end, the emperor did not give the queen a direct answer, but said that he still needed to think about it.

"Yes, I will take my leave now."

The Queen also knew that Prince Dun had made rude remarks during the Queen Mother's last hour and almost ruined the entire banquet.

Although Prince Dun later went to the palace to apologize to the emperor at the strong request of his wife, the disgust he had felt before lingered in Yongzheng's heart and was destined to be unforgettable.

At this moment, the reason why the Queen still came to ask was, of course, because the princess's first birthday was originally an internal matter of the royal family. If the Emperor left out these Aisin-Gioro relatives and celebrated it behind closed doors, it would also affect the Emperor's image.

From the perspective of the overall situation, no matter how reluctant he was, the emperor had to make some sacrifices, because this just showed his tolerance towards his brothers.

However, the empress could not go over her head and make decisions on Yongzheng's behalf. Instead of making him unhappy, it would be better for her to work hard to build a platform and then put up the ladder. Now it all depended on whether the emperor wanted to come down on his own.

"I suddenly remembered that I had prepared some embroidery for Sister Mei, so I'll take my leave now!"

As soon as the Queen left, An Lingrong also noticed the depressing atmosphere. Seeing that Zhen Huan was hesitant to speak to the Emperor, she knew that it would be useless for her and Shen Meiyu to stay. Instead, it would hinder Zhen Huan from persuading the Emperor in person.

Thinking of this, An Lingrong immediately decided to take her leave as well.

Shen Meizhuang didn't react at first, but after receiving the eye hint from An Ling, she looked at the inexplicable atmosphere between Zhen Huan and Yongzheng on the side, and immediately knew the reason.

Although she felt a little sad, Zhen Huan was her good sister after all. Moreover, after experiencing the previous changes, Shen Meizhuang had become much more sober. She no longer cared about the emperor as much as she did when she first entered the palace.

"Okay, you guys go first."

After coming back to his senses, Yongzheng nodded, agreeing to the two's departure.

Zhen Huan was originally a little embarrassed and was wondering whether she should leave as well, but the emperor happened to cast his gaze towards her.

When Zhen Huan saw this, she knew she couldn't leave, so she could only stay where she was.

……

"Lingrong, do you think... can Huan'er persuade the emperor to change his mind?"

As soon as she walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, Shen Meizhuang changed her previous silence and now became worried about Zhen Huan who was still inside.

Putting aside the little girls' thoughts, Shen Meizhuang had just listened to the entire conversation between the Queen and the Emperor.

She understood that even though the Queen did not say it explicitly, she was actually asking the Emperor whether to invite those royal relatives who were at odds with him to attend the celebration of the princess' birthday.

This was tantamount to making Yongzheng recall those unhappy past events!

The fact that Zhen Huan was left in the Qinzheng Palace clearly showed that Yongzheng wanted to discuss the matter with her.

However, serving the king is like serving a tiger!

Shen Meizhuang was very afraid that Zhen Huan would say something that would displease the Emperor, just like she did before for her. Wouldn't she be in trouble then?

"Don't worry." An Lingrong said, "Sister Huan has always been smart and knows how to advance and retreat. Besides... the emperor has probably already made a decision in his heart, but he just needs to wait for the right time."

Yongzheng was the emperor after all. How could he not be well aware of the emperor's mentality?

No matter how much he disliked his half-brothers, Yongzheng could not get rid of them now.

Since we can't eradicate the root of the problem, we should at least do a good job on the surface!

Therefore, what the emperor lacks now is a "step"

.

Zhen Huan staying there can undoubtedly play this role.

There is another point that An Lingrong did not say in front of Shen Meiyu.

That is, the reason why Zhen Huan had angered the emperor and was confined to her house was mainly because she wanted to clear Shen Meiyu's name.

For the emperor, this was tantamount to forcing himself to do something he didn't want to do.

How could he be happy?

It is different now. Right now, Yongzheng needs Zhen Huan to act as a "flower of eloquence". As long as Zhen Huan is not stupid, Yongzheng will definitely not blame her no matter what she says.

"makes sense……"

After listening to An Lingrong's analysis, Shen Meizhuang changed her mind and felt that this was indeed the truth. She nodded immediately and stopped worrying about Zhen Huan.

"By the way, Lingrong, you just said you had something for me. Is it really the embroidery you prepared?"

Shen Meizhuang recalled the reason An Lingrong had used to ask her to leave with her, and she couldn't help but become curious. She wondered if it was just an excuse or if it was true.

"It's natural."

An Lingrong smiled slightly and said, "Sister Mei, you know that I am only proficient in these knitting works. I originally thought that in a few months, our children would be born, so now we can make preparations early."

"That's indeed the truth." Shen Meizhuang listened and nodded.

Although there are many palace maids and maids in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare all the necessary things, it is still not as good as doing it yourself!

Counting the days, by next year, they will all be mothers!

Shen Meizhuang was filled with emotion for a moment, so she followed An Lingrong to Fanyin Pavilion.

On the other hand, after Yongzheng in the Qinzheng Hall told Zhen Huan about his concerns, he was moved by her emotional and logical advice and finally made up his mind to ask the Queen to call all the clan members together to give them a chance to "reconcile".
