An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 385: In Case of Need
"Empress, these are the accounts you gave me to handle before. I have checked them. Please take a look!"
Because Jingpin had been dealing with various expenses of the harem that the Queen had requested to be carefully examined, she could not avoid Sun Zhuxi even if he came, and was "forced" to listen to him.
After Sun Zhuxi left, Jingpin finally finished those cumbersome account books. She handed them to the queen and waited for her reply nervously.
"Um……"
The queen slowly turned the pages of the book, looking at the various major expenditures of the Yikun Palace in the past, and her heart couldn't help but beam with joy.
She had used the excuse that Concubine Hua spent money like water, which played into the emperor's hands. This led to Shen Meiyu and Concubine Jing helping him take care of all the affairs in the harem, and invisibly regaining the palace power that had been taken away by Concubine Hua.
Now seeing that Yongzheng was going to promote Concubine Hua, the Queen could do nothing but smile and say yes in front of him. Of course, she couldn't just stand there and watch foolishly!
So, the Queen summoned Concubine Jing under the pretext of sorting out the matters left over from when she and others were not in the palace, and asked her to check the accounts, just to find something to hold against Concubine Hua.
"Jingpin, you did a great job. I was right about you!"
The queen put down the account book, smiled at Jingpin, and signaled that she could leave.
"Yes! Thank you for the compliment, Her Majesty! Then... I will go back first?"
Seeing that the Queen had no intention of finding fault with her, Concubine Jing finally felt relieved.
"Forget it, go back first."
The Queen looked at Concubine Jing, who looked uneasy, and was very pleased with her respect for her, but she still looked kind on the surface.
At the same time, the Queen seemed to be hesitant to speak, which made Jingpin's heart, which had just been put at ease, rise again.
If it were under normal circumstances, she would not be so nervous about the Queen, but Sun Zhuxi came not long ago and brought the Queen the Queen's "greetings" from the Queen Mother, which made Jingpin realize that something was wrong.
Even though these people have been in the palace all along and did not go to the Old Summer Palace with Yongzheng and others, it does not mean that they are blind or deaf and know nothing.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. Concubine Hua tried to make trouble for Shen Meizhuang and the other two in the Old Summer Palace, but she didn't expect to be caught in the act by the Emperor and the Empress, which resulted in her being confined to reflect on her mistakes.
Yongzheng did not deliberately suppress this news, so Jingpin also heard the "rumor" that spread from the streets.
Why did the Queen Mother openly show her goodwill to the Queen?
Is it really because you haven't seen the Queen for so long that you miss her?
Jingpin felt that this must not be the case.
The Empress Dowager's intention forced people to re-examine everything, which also led to Concubine Jing not daring to be careless with the Queen.
After a lot of inner struggle, Jingpin did not ask the queen any further questions. Instead, she pretended that she did not hear the queen's hidden meaning, nor did she see the reluctance to speak revealed on the queen's face.
"Your Majesty, Jingpin has left."
After Jingpin had completely left Jingren Palace, Jianqiu, who was responsible for sending her out, came back to report to the Queen.
"I didn't ask you a single question?"
When the Queen heard Jianqiu's reply, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then she said to herself: "No words? You are worthy of being like this!"
Jianqiu was standing by, and of course she also heard the queen talking to herself. At this moment, her expression changed, and she said to the queen: "Your Majesty, do you want Jingpin to 'question' you at that time?"
Based on her understanding of her master, Jianqiu felt that the Queen seemed to be testing Jingpin at that time.
However, Jingpin herself probably noticed this, so she escaped early.
But is the Queen satisfied with this result or not?
Jianqiu was a little unsure about this question.
"Hehe, I originally wanted to tell Jingpin that her 'hard times' over the years are finally over, but she herself doesn't want to ask, so of course I don't have anything more to say to her."
The Queen smiled at Jianqiu and said, "Well, don't worry about Jingpin for now. Get ready. I want to see the Queen Mother!"
"Yes!" Jian Qiu understood the Queen's thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief. Then a smile appeared on her face. "Your Majesty is right. The Queen Mother is so concerned about you, there must be a way!"
Jianqiu had been serving the Queen, and of course she knew that the Queen had been in a bad mood ever since she found out that the Emperor was going to promote her to Concubine Hua.
Now, having just returned to the palace, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to notify the Queen to come for an audience. This was obviously an announcement of her favor to the Queen!
Jianqiu has always regarded the interests of the Queen as her highest pursuit, and at this moment she is sincerely happy for her.
"hehe."
The queen just smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Jianqiu suppressed her smile and instead hurried to prepare the ceremonial equipment for the Queen's trip.
……
"Lingrong, you haven't been back for so long, are you used to everything?"
In Yonghe Palace, Zhen Huan came to visit An Lingrong and asked someone to bring a bunch of things.
"Everything is fine!"
An Lingrong answered, then shifted her gaze to Cui Jinxi behind Zhen Huan, and said helplessly: "Sister, are you moving to my place?"
An Lingrong had just seen the large and small packages in Cui Jinxi's hands and felt something was wrong at the time.
Although this was Zhen Huan's concern for her, An Lingrong felt that this "concern" was really too heavy!
Not to mention anything else, Cui Jinxi can’t hold on any longer!
"What nonsense!" Zhen Huan glared at her and said unhappily, "I was worried that you might be short of something, so I wanted to help you. Now it seems that it was all my wishful thinking. Okay, okay, Jinxi! Take the things back!"
As Zhen Huan said this, she made a move to leave, but was pulled back by An Lingrong the next second.
"My dear sister, you are so kind to Lingrong. Lingrong is so happy. How dare she go against your kindness?"
An Lingrong pulled Zhen Huan back and asked her to sit at the top seat, then said, "But, sister, please ask Jingxi to put the things down quickly!"
Following An Lingrong's words, Fang Ruo had already ordered Liuyun and the other little girls to go and help.
Cui Jinxi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she found someone to take over her position.
Originally, she really could not hold on any longer.
However, Zhen Huan was still "playing around" with An Lingrong at the time, which left Cui Jinxi helpless.
Fortunately, Fang Ruo was very smart. After she saw that An Lingrong had no intention of refusing, she felt at ease and asked someone to take it.
On the other hand, An Lingrong was also very curious. Based on her understanding of Zhen Huan and Zhen Huan's personality, it must not be a sudden whim that she would think of her like this, but there must be some reason behind it that led to this!
