An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

However, ever since Emperor Yongzheng ordered Concubine Hua to be under house arrest, all the concubines in the Old Summer Palace knew that the wind direction had suddenly changed.

However, except for Cao Qinmo, who had originally depended on Concubine Hua and was caught off guard, the rest of the people, including the Queen, Concubine Qi, Concubine Xin, and Chun'er, were happy to see this happen.

Anyway, it was Concubine Hua who was locked up. She often acted domineeringly there and her relationship with them could only be described as extremely bad.

So, when the Queen saw Concubine Hua finally reaping the fruits of her own labor, although she did not show it on her face, she was actually laughing like crazy in her heart.

As for the others, after watching Bai Bai laugh at the joke, they all felt that their chance had come, and they were all rubbing their hands, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to show their courtesy in front of the emperor in order to snatch a place in the emperor's heart.

After receiving the Queen's instructions, Concubine Qi agreed with them and began her performance.

In Concubine Qi’s mind, to be a “virtuous and decent” concubine, one must first show great concern for the emperor!

With this idea in mind, Concubine Qi cooked herself every day and made many soups for Yongzheng. Then she would go to the Qinzheng Hall to visit the emperor under the scorching sun, carrying the soups.

At the beginning, facing such an attentive Concubine Qi, Yongzheng still gave her some face. Not only did he give her high praise, he also drank up the soup, which made Concubine Qi extremely surprised.

However, Concubine Qi obviously did not realize that the emperor was just trying to take care of her self-esteem. Instead, she naively believed that her actions really moved the emperor!

Therefore, in order to please him, Concubine Qi decided to continue working hard on this path.

When she thought that the emperor would regain his favor for her after drinking the nourishing soup she had prepared, and that the Third Prince's status would also rise, Concubine Qi felt as if she was soaked in a honey pot, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

Supported by such fantasies, Concubine Qi felt happy no matter how hard or tiring the life was.

But this made Yongzheng suffer.

Originally, he was very upset because of Concubine Hua's affairs.

The empress was quite perceptive and knew that the emperor was in a bad mood recently. After coming here once, she decisively chose to retreat behind the scenes and made up her mind not to go in front of Yongzheng easily again.

But Concubine Qi had no tact at all, and didn't even realize that her actions had already displeased the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is here!"

On this day, Yongzheng had no appetite due to the hot weather. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Peisheng suddenly ran in to report and told him that Concubine Qi had come again.

Upon hearing this, Yongzheng suddenly felt overwhelmed. He immediately closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Tell her I'm busy right now and I won't see anyone!"

Yongzheng would not let himself be wronged, so he decisively chose to avoid the meeting.

Ever since he drank the soup for the first time, Concubine Qi came almost every day. Rain or shine, it couldn't stop her from wanting to "send soup".

In order to prevent his appetite and mood from being ruined, Yongzheng asked Su Peisheng to keep him out of the door.

As for the "tonic soup" sent by Concubine Qi, although Su Peisheng would accept it as ordered, as to who ended up with it, that was not a question he needed to explain on the spot.

It just so happened that Concubine Qi was sometimes cowardly, but she was also obedient. Even though she liked to get to the bottom of things, she would always restrain herself in front of the emperor.

Therefore, when Su Peisheng came out as usual to tell Concubine Qi that the emperor was busy and had no time to summon her, although Concubine Qi's expression changed from joy to disappointment at a speed visible to the naked eye, she did not say much in the end.

"Since the emperor is busy now, I don't want to disturb him. Please trouble Eunuch Su to deliver this soup to the emperor!"

After all, this was not the first time this had happened, and Concubine Qi knew what to say. She just gave a look, and Cuiguo, who was holding a sandalwood box at the side, immediately handed the box to Su Peisheng.

"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely keep it well!"

Su Peisheng took the thing respectfully with a smile on his face, but his answer was also quite fitting.

He only said that he would keep the things safe, but did not promise Concubine Qi that he would let the emperor take them. In this way, Su Peisheng could have a "clear conscience" from the inside out.

But Concubine Qi was unaware of this subtle change. After delivering the soup, she looked outside the Qinzheng Hall for a while, but the door was tightly closed and she could not see the emperor inside no matter what. In the end, she could only leave in disappointment.

As luck would have it, at this moment, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong also got off the sedan chair and walked up the stairs towards the Qinzheng Hall.

Seeing that it was Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, Concubine Qi, who was already feeling a little disappointed, suddenly changed her expression and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Concubine Wan and Concubine An? Are you here to pay your respects to the Emperor as well?"

"Good luck to Concubine Qi!"

When Zhen Huan saw that Concubine Qi took the initiative to greet her and others, she did not dare to be negligent and bowed to Concubine Qi.

At the same time, Concubine Qi said, "I'm not saying anything, but the Emperor is busy right now! He doesn't want to see anyone!"

After saying this, Concubine Qi flicked her handkerchief and was about to open the door with Cuiguo leisurely.

She herself was unable to meet Yongzheng, and when she saw Zhen Huan and An Lingrong arriving together, she naturally imagined the scene of them being similarly humiliated.

However, Zhen Huan ignored Concubine Qi and just took An Lingrong with her, and walked into the Qinzheng Hall with its door opened, with Su Peisheng respectfully welcoming her.

"This this!"

After seeing this scene, Concubine Qi, who had a smile on her face, suddenly stopped smiling.

Turning around, she asked Cuiguo, "Cuiguo, was I dazzled just now?"

How did Zhen Huan and An Lingrong get in?

Didn’t Su Peisheng just say that the emperor is busy now, so he can’t meet him?

Concubine Qi was extremely confused. She had a vague guess in her mind as to why Zhen Huan and the other two were allowed to enter the Qinzheng Palace while she was blocked outside, but she was still unwilling to face it.

At this time, if it were a more clever maid, facing her master's questions, she would definitely not answer directly, but would use some tactful comfort and persuasion to soothe her emotions.

But unfortunately, Cuiguo was after all Concubine Qi's maid, and was usually influenced by this concubine.

When asked, Cuiguo answered without thinking: "Your Majesty! You are not seeing things. I saw it clearly. That's how Concubine Wan and Concubine An entered!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Qi could no longer hold back. Not only did her expression instantly fall, but tears also flashed in her eyes. Then, like a gust of wind, she stepped on her clogs and quickly fled from this place that made her sad.
