An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Originally, the reason why the Fourth Prince suddenly thought of coming to Fanyin Pavilion to pay his respects to An Lingrong was mainly because he found out through inquiries that Zhen Huan was not in her palace at the moment, so he chose to settle for the next best thing.

Just like An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang's first impression of the Fourth Prince, he indeed has a scheming and cunningness that is inconsistent with his age.

Long before the emperor brought people to the Old Summer Palace, the Fourth Prince had already secretly inquired about it.

The first time he and Zhen Huan met, they were looking at each other from afar outside the Qinzheng Palace.

But in fact, before this, the Fourth Prince had tried to meet Yongzheng through the Queen. Unfortunately, he was stopped outside by Jianqiu at that time. He had no choice but to try his luck in person.

Although he didn't get to see the emperor, he did see Zhen Huan.

He knew that Zhen Huan was his royal father's "favored concubine". Seeing that he could not get close to the empress, nor could he directly meet the emperor, he wanted to get close to Zhen Huan in an attempt to elevate his status in the emperor's mind.

After they separated, the Fourth Prince was not idle either. In addition to visiting Zhen Huan every now and then to show his presence, he also secretly paid attention to the circle of friends around Zhen Huan.

Upon learning that this noble lady Wan had two "good sisters" who were also pregnant with royal heirs, the Fourth Prince began to make his own plans.

Everything was going smoothly until An Lingrong gave this "reminder", which made the Fourth Prince stand there in a daze, speechless for a moment, not knowing how to react.

He really only wanted to please these "favorites in the imperial court", so when he spoke, he tried hard to say "auspicious words".

In addition, he was originally thrown into the temporary palace by the emperor and was left to roam free, so he had never received any proper "royal education".

Just like he knew the ranks of concubines in the palace and understood their levels, but he was not aware of the various detailed divisions and etiquette involved.

In the Fourth Prince's understanding, the word "Empress" is just a respectful title.

So, when he saw Zhen Huan outside the Qinzheng Palace before, the Fourth Prince rushed over without thinking and called her "Empress Wan" right away. Zhen Huan did not say anything to correct her at that time.

The result was that the Fourth Prince had no idea that there was anything wrong with this. Now when he met An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu, he chose to stick to his principles.

"My brother may not know that the title of 'Empress' can only be worthy of the title of the head of a palace, and the head position is always a concubine or above."

An Lingrong said, "Noble Lady Hui and I are both noble ladies. Logically, neither of us deserves this title."

After saying this, An Lingrong saw that the Fourth Prince was still confused, so she gestured to Shen Meizhuang beside her.

Shen Meizhuang also came back to her senses at this time, and nodded, "Yes, we really can't use such a name."

Seeing the horrified expression on the Fourth Prince's face because of her words, Shen Meizhuang quickly said, "Of course, ignorance is not a crime. Fourth Prince, you must remember not to do this again. What happened today..."

Knowing that An Lingrong's original intention was to scare the Fourth Prince and also to warn him, Shen Meizhuang turned her gaze to An Lingrong at the end of her speech, implying that it was her turn to step forward.

An Lingrong understood what she meant and immediately said to the Fourth Prince, "I have no ill intentions. I told you this, firstly to prevent myself and Concubine Hui from being criticized, and secondly, to warn you that you must be cautious whether you are in the Summer Palace or in any other occasion!"

"Yes, I know."

The Fourth Prince seemed to have just woken up from a dream at this time. After hearing An Lingrong's earnest words to him, his originally pale face improved a lot. He nodded repeatedly to express his willingness to listen to advice.

An Lingrong said a few more words and then said no more, letting the Fourth Prince leave on his own.

After the Fourth Prince left, Shen Meizhuang sighed, "Alas, this child... is such a pity."

According to Zhen Huan's previous description, Shen Meizhuang originally thought that the Fourth Prince should be a pitiful child.

But after actually meeting him, Shen Meizhuang felt that he was more worthy of the word "regret" rather than pity.

The emperor does not have many sons, otherwise, Concubine Qi, who only has one son, would not have talked about him all the time.

In Shen Meizhuang's opinion, the Fourth Prince is a very smart child. If he can be taught well, his future will be limitless!

But he was born to the palace maid Li Jingui, and his mother, who was of such a lowly status, really blocked his future.

Moreover, Yongzheng acted impulsively after drinking at that time, and was nearly deposed from his princely title because of it. As a result, the existence of the Fourth Prince was like a living "shame" to him!

"Sister Mei, that may not be the case!"

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang with a smile and said calmly, "How can a golden scalen be kept in a pond?"

They are all the emperor's biological sons. Now they are not favored. No one can predict how they will develop in the future!

……

"Oh, Your Majesty, please don't worry! You must take care of yourself!"

Inside the Qinzheng Hall, the Queen was still trying to persuade Yongzheng.

Before, Yongzheng turned over Zhen Huan's name card, but he only brought her over to talk to him.

After sending Zhen Huan back, the Queen also sent Prince Dun's wife out of the Old Summer Palace, and then turned around and came to Yongzheng to report her achievements to him.

Regarding this, Yongzheng was still unhappy and kept sulking.

The Queen knew that Prince Dun was like a thorn in the Emperor's throat, and it was disgusting that he would make trouble from time to time.

Yongzheng now felt like he had something stuck in his throat. The empress knew the reason but did not dare to touch the subject rashly. She could only say some innocuous words.

"Prince Dun, you are a great worry to me!"

Yongzheng was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out these words to the queen.

"Yes……"

Seeing that the emperor had already said so, the queen had no choice but to agree.

After a pause, the Queen continued, "Prince Dun has always been arrogant, and has become even more arrogant recently. He dared to speak rudely to the Emperor. Internally, he has lost respect for his elder brother, and externally, he is also disrespectful to the Emperor. He has lost his duty as a minister. It is really..."

The queen first obeyed Yongzheng's wishes and said what he wanted to hear.

Then, the Queen changed the subject and sighed, "Alas, thinking back to the past, Imperial Concubine Wenxi... was also the most favored concubine in the palace. No wonder Prince Dun has become so arrogant. On the other hand, he once worked with Nian Gengyao, but he is not as loyal to the Emperor as General Nian. Maybe he has been idle for too long?"

When the queen began to speak, Yongzheng's eyes flashed with a strange look. At this moment, his expression changed suddenly, and his gaze when he looked at the queen became much deeper.
