An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Sister, I think Concubine Qi was quite shocked just now."

Walking into the Qinzheng Palace with Zhen Huan, An Lingrong recalled the scene she saw when she turned her head just now, and felt that Zhen Huan's behavior at that time was still very decisive.

Faced with Concubine Qi's seemingly well-intentioned reminder, which was actually full of sarcasm, Zhen Huan said nothing and walked in with herself.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Qi, who was slapped in the face on the spot, broke down instantly. Zhen Huan's response at that time just fits the saying "silence is better than words at this time", but it is a murderous act!

"Although Concubine Qi has never targeted us on weekdays, she was obviously just trying to watch the fun. Since she doesn't care about her own dignity, why should I be considerate of her?"

Zhen Huan smiled at An Lingrong and expressed her current attitude towards things.

If people respect me, I will repay them. If people don’t respect me, why should I care about them?

This is Zhen Huan’s current way of dealing with the world.

"So good."

An Lingrong originally felt that Zhen Huan's character was somewhat twisted, but this was different from her own inferiority and cowardice in the past. Instead, when faced with things that went against her character, she would often take a compromising and evasive attitude.

But after experiencing a series of changes, Zhen Huan has obviously changed.

As of now, this change undoubtedly makes An Lingrong feel good.

"Okay, we're going to see the emperor soon, remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Zhen Huan felt uncomfortable with An Lingrong's "admiring" gaze, so she let out a dry cough and returned to her usual calm state, while reminding An Lingrong.

In fact, up to now, Zhen Huan still doesn't know why the emperor asked her and An Lingrong to come together.

If the emperor summoned any one of them individually, Zhen Huan would be able to guess the reason, but this time the emperor called both of them together, which was a bit strange!

Could it be related to Concubine Hua?

For some reason, this thought suddenly emerged in Zhen Huan's mind.

But if it was related to Concubine Hua, then Yongzheng should have asked Shen Meizhuang to come instead of asking himself and An Lingrong to come...

Shaking her head, Zhen Huan put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind.

After entering the hall, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan bowed politely.

Yongzheng was originally bent over his desk, writing furiously, apparently reviewing memorials to the emperor.

Hearing the noise, the emperor stopped what he was doing and said, "No need to be polite, please stand up. Su Peisheng, please take a seat."

"Whoo!"

Su Peisheng had originally come in with Zhen Huan and the others. Upon hearing Yongzheng's instructions, he immediately asked his apprentice Xiao Xiazi to help him move two chairs over so that Zhen Huan and An Lingrong could sit down.

Among them, An Lingrong needed a chair more than Zhen Huan because she was pregnant.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."

After An Lingrong and the other two expressed their gratitude to Yongzheng, Zhen Huan asked the emperor, "I wonder what instructions the emperor has for summoning me this time?"

Yongzheng did not answer Zhen Huan immediately, but gave her a look. Su Peisheng immediately understood what he meant and retreated with his apprentice.

In the blink of an eye, Yongzheng, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were the only ones left in the huge hall.

Yongzheng stared at Zhen Huan for a long time before he spoke: "Huan Huan, but this time I asked you and Rong Er to come here because I want to discuss something with you two."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Hearing that there was indeed something to be explained, Zhen Huan's heart trembled slightly.

Before Yongzheng opened his mouth, An Lingrong had almost predicted what he was going to say next, so she did not react too much, but pretended to listen attentively.

"Hua Fei was rude to Hui Guiren before, and she almost implicated you. This was really excessive, so... I have confined her to her house, but she is about to return to the palace, and I cannot keep her in the Old Summer Palace forever."

Yongzheng seemed to be in a dilemma, and then he said, "I have already ordered the death of the two Jiang brothers in the previous Fuling incident, which can be regarded as an explanation to Hui Guiren. I hope that all this will end here. You are all smart and considerate of others, so you should understand what I mean."

Having said this, it is already very clear what Yongzheng wants to express.

He was planning to release Concubine Hua, and hoped that Zhen Huan and the others could understand him. At the same time, he had to protect himself and try not to have any conflicts with Concubine Hua again.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you said, but..."

Although this was the result she had expected, she still subconsciously frowned after hearing this, and then continued, "I have always been respectful to Concubine Hua, and so are Sister Mei and Sister Lingrong. But Concubine Hua is deeply in love with the Emperor and has always believed that we have taken away the Emperor's favor that originally belonged to her. This is a false accusation."

Zhen Huan also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to ask the Emperor to keep Concubine Hua locked up forever.

Not to mention that the Nian family was still in its heyday at that time. Even if the Nian family fell, Yongzheng still had some feelings for Hua Fei. Moreover, for the sake of his own face, he could punish Hua Fei, but he could not just keep Hua Fei in the Old Summer Palace and ignore her.

Therefore, Zhen Huan has now made her words clear.

The previous conflicts and contradictions were caused by Concubine Hua herself who repeatedly came up to pick trouble. They had tried their best to avoid them, but how could they avoid it when they were sitting at home and disasters could come from the sky?

"This is Concubine Hua's personality. I really can't do anything with her."

Hearing Zhen Huan talking about Concubine Hua's feelings for him, Yongzheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He stared at Zhen Huan, and saw that she looked normal, but he felt guilty. He then looked away and said awkwardly, "I've thought about it. When I return to the palace, I will raise your positions and ask the Queen to pay attention. I won't let Concubine Hua embarrass you again!"

When these words were spoken, not only Zhen Huan, but even An Lingrong's eyes flickered.

It was really surprising that Yongzheng wanted to promote the status of himself and others at this time, but upon closer thought, it was also expected!

In her previous life, An Lingrong was promoted to a noble lady only after Zhen Huan was conferred the title of Wanpin. As for being conferred the title of concubine, that happened a long time later.

And Shen Meizhuang was promoted to Huipin because she accompanied the empress dowager and served her well.

Now, Yongzheng said that he would promote the six palaces after returning to the palace, so he and others would at least be promoted one level directly!

Moreover, now that they have been upgraded, how could Shen Meizhuang be left out?

There is also the noble lady Borjigit, who is also pregnant and comes from a prominent family, so she should be among them.

In this case, Concubine Hua might not be the only one who changed her attitude.

The most important thing is that Yongzheng actually said that he would let the Queen look after Concubine Hua?

This is really... a bit ironic.
