An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Although Fangruo once served in the imperial court, she has now been assigned to An Lingrong.

Because of this, Fang Ruo naturally no longer had the previous "foresight" in many things.

The only source of information she could get was the connections she had accumulated in her daily life.

As the saying goes, one should do his job according to his position. Fang Ruo is no longer a lady-in-waiting in front of the emperor, but the head aunt in Yonghe Palace.

So for the sake of her master, An Lingrong, Fang Ruo naturally began to make some preparations.

"Thank you for your concern, aunt."

An Lingrong understood that Fang Ruo did not know that she would soon be promoted by the emperor. Under this premise, she was still willing to say these words to her, and her feelings became more sincere.

Just for this reason, An Lingrong also appreciated it.

Then, An Lingrong had no intention of hiding anything, and directly told the reason why Yongzheng summoned her and Zhen Huan to the Qinzheng Hall when they were in the Old Summer Palace.

"This is happening!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruo's first reaction was of course to feel happy for An Lingrong.

Then, Fang Ruo frowned suddenly, and also tasted the deep meaning of it.

The emperor used promotion as a placation in exchange for Zhen Huan and others' silence about Concubine Hua's resurgence.

For the emperor, this was not really an exchange condition. It was simply a matter of giving a stick and then giving a sweet reward.

Just as Zhen Huan said before, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor.

Yongzheng was the monarch, the emperor. Although they were concubines, they were also maids.

Because of this, even Zhen Huan, who was extremely favored at the time, did not dare to say a word after understanding the emperor's intention.

Only by being "obedient" can one gain long-term favor from the emperor.

Regardless of whether favor or love comes first, if you want to live a good life, disobeying the emperor is a road that will never work and may even bring disaster to yourself.

Like Zhen Huan, she is extremely smart.

Her intelligence and unique appearance were the key factors in attracting the emperor.

But the main reason why Zhen Huan can remain standing in the harem is because she is still very sober!

If a woman becomes spoiled due to being favored, Concubine Hua is the best example.

In comparison, Zhen Huan did not have a close minister like Nian Gengyao who supported Yongzheng in ascending the throne!

Even though she was unwilling at the time, Zhen Huan still knew the situation and chose to shut up and thank the emperor.

This reaction satisfied Yongzheng, and naturally he often accompanied Zhen Huan afterwards.

"I'm sure Auntie has noticed it, too."

An Lingrong said, "Since his return, the Emperor has not come to my place, and I'm afraid the same is true for Concubine Hui."

Except for important days like the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, one had to follow ancestral rules and give face to the empress by staying overnight in Jingren Palace.

During the rest of his days, Yongzheng either stayed alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, or traveled between the Yiku Palace and the Suiyuxuan.

Regardless of whether the emperor did so to maintain superficial grace, to let Nian Gengyao off, or whether he had other ideas, no one else could hope to gain the emperor's favor now.

This is actually a good thing for An Lingrong.

After all, she is not suitable to serve the emperor now, but with a child, her daily treatment will definitely not be reduced, and Yongzheng will not have to come over to visit, so she is simply too happy.

However, this was just what An Lingrong thought in her heart.

In the eyes of others, since the emperor did not flip the card or go to the palace to visit, it was a sign that she was falling out of favor!

This is also why Fang Ruo had reminded An Lingrong in such a direct way beforehand to plan for herself. In the eyes of this "person close to her", An Lingrong's position was already in jeopardy.

You can imagine what others are thinking!

"My young master, you can think about this, and I feel relieved."

……

Because the Queen had already received direct instructions from Yongzheng before, she already had an idea about the future changes in the status of the concubines in the harem.

Therefore, during the morning meeting, the Queen deliberately said to Concubine Hua, "Speaking of which, my sister has served the Emperor for many years. When she returned from the Old Summer Palace this time, the Emperor mentioned to me that he wanted to promote my sister. Now I have to congratulate my sister."

"Oh? But I wonder what position the emperor intends to take in my palace?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua was already overjoyed in her heart, but on the surface, she showed an expression of unexpected surprise, and looked at the Queen with burning eyes.

The Queen also smiled and pretended to think for a moment before saying, "According to the rules of our ancestors, the rank above the Concubine is the Noble Concubine, and the rank above the Noble Concubine is the Imperial Noble Concubine. The Emperor's thoughts are no more than this."

"I heard that the status of the Imperial Noble Consort is extremely noble. During the reign of Emperor Shunzhi, the Imperial Noble Consort Dong E was the most popular and favored concubine in the harem..."

Cao Qinmo is Hua Fei's "right-hand man", better known as the worm in her stomach. Of course, she understands what Hua Fei wants to hear most now.

Before this, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the Imperial Concubine's dress to the Yikun Palace, which surprised Concubine Hua very much.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Hua couldn't wait to call Concubine Li and Noble Lady Cao to her palace in order to show them the glory she had gained.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was about to flap her wings and fly away again, although Cao Qinmo was extremely indignant, she immediately put away all the little thoughts that had arisen in her mind.

Your inner thoughts are one thing, and the reality is another.

Cao Qinmo has always been good at changing her attitude according to the situation, so she certainly knows what attitude she should adopt to please Concubine Hua.

Now, although everyone seems to be having a good time on the surface, there are undercurrents underneath, so Cao Qinmo volunteers to come out as an "assistant".

"The Imperial Noble Consort is indeed noble. If there is no Empress Dowager, she will be equal to the Vice Empress and can take charge of the affairs of the six palaces. Therefore, she should not be appointed lightly."

The Queen's tone was calm, as if she was not affected at all.

After saying this, Concubine Hua remained calm and just gave Cao Qinmo a look, telling her to shut up.

However, Zhen Huan, who was sitting below, felt the comings and goings of these people and her mood became heavy.

Could it be that the emperor would really confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Consort Hua?

If this is true, it would be like slapping the queen in public, and it was a very loud slap...

The queen was alive and well, but she was given the same title of Imperial Noble Consort as the vice queen. This was not something that would happen under normal circumstances.

However, based on past experience, if Concubine Hua was looking for trouble, she would definitely not let it go in the face of such an indifferent response from the Queen, and would immediately start mocking and targeting her again with even sharper and more cruel words.

However, this time Concubine Hua did not press on the opportunity to attack. Instead, she asked Cao Qinmo to stop talking, and she seemed to be ready to give up.

This was different from Concubine Hua's usual personality and behavior, and naturally attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives, and Zhen Huan was one of them.

As she was daydreaming, her eyes met with Jingpin beside her, and they were both moved immediately.
