An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"My Lord, are you unhappy?"

After leaving Shoukang Palace, Caiyue helped Shen Meizhuang to find a sedan chair, and at the same time she keenly noticed that Shen Meizhuang looked a little depressed.

Combined with what the Queen Mother said to Shen Meiyu in Shoukang Palace before, Caiyue also had some guesses in her mind about this.

It seems that Shen Meizhuang’s mood change was due to the Queen Mother’s previous “instructions”?

"Shh." Shen Meizhuang was originally immersed in her own thoughts, but when she heard Caiyue's question suddenly, she came back to her senses and quickly made a gesture to Caiyue.

"Yes."

Caiyue was a cautious person by nature, so she naturally knew what she could and could not say in the palace.

Shen Meizhuang had just given her a reminder when Caiyue reacted immediately, then shut her mouth and stopped talking.

The master and servant were silent all the way. When they got on the sedan chair, Shen Meizhuang kept repeating what the empress dowager had said before in her mind as the sedan chair was shaking.

"Princess Hui, I like you, so I have been paying close attention to you since you entered the palace, and you have indeed lived up to my expectations... Therefore, I hope you can help the Queen more when she needs it!"

The voice kept echoing in her ears, like an invisible hammer, hitting Shen Meizhuang's heart again and again, making her feel depressed.

Shen Meizhuang was full of respect for the Queen Mother.

Since entering the palace, she would often go to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager whenever she had the chance.

In Shen Meizhuang's view, serving the empress dowager is not only the duty of a concubine, but also a way for her to make a living.

If one wants to gain a foothold in the harem, the emperor's favor is indispensable, and if one is lucky enough to have a child, the future will be even brighter.

Having said that, the emperor ruled the country with filial piety, and when facing his own mother, Yongzheng at least did a good job on the surface.

During the palace selection, facing the repeated questions from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, Shen Meizhuang won the favor of both parties with her measured answers. In the end, she was favored by the Empress Dowager and was successfully selected.

After entering the palace, Shen Meizhuang's life was actually going smoothly. Except for the time when she was almost framed by Concubine Hua and was bullied by others on a daily basis, she always had a certain presence on the Empress Dowager's side.

Shen Meizhuang is well aware of this and knows exactly how to play to her strengths and further enhance and amplify this invisible advantage.

Before she became pregnant, Shen Meizhuang had managed to coax the Queen Mother into submission.

Whatever the Queen Mother needs, Shen Meizhuang will certainly take care of it personally.

However, what the Queen Mother said today forced Shen Meizhuang to wake up and once again realize that in the Queen Mother's heart, she might just be a "tool".

The Queen Mother did favor me, but that was because I did not flatter her and could really help the Queen.

In this case, the Queen Mother's favor to herself was actually like giving the Queen a hand.

"Alas, everything is as it should be. Why should I be sad?"

As the sedan chair landed on the ground, Shen Meizhuang woke up as if from a dream.

She is not a person with a blind character. She is very open-minded about everything.

Even though he looked dejected due to his mood before, it was only for a moment.

In this short period of time, Shen Meizhuang had adjusted her emotions and felt relieved.

No matter if he was regarded as a chess piece or a tool, as long as he did what the Queen Mother said, he could at least get her protection. As for the future, he didn't need to rush and could just take his time.

With a plan in mind, Shen Meizhuang regained her usual calmness.

……

"How come Concubine An passed away so quickly? I didn't even congratulate my sister!"

On the other side, An Lingrong had already boarded the sedan chair, but unexpectedly, Concubine Qi's voice suddenly came from the side, causing the eunuchs who were originally planning to lift the sedan chair to be stunned.

Concubine Qi was a high-ranking concubine of higher rank than An Lingrong. She acted as if she wanted to talk to An Lingrong, so naturally, the servants did not dare to stop her.

"Good luck to Concubine Qi."

An Lingrong naturally knew this. Even if she didn't want to pay attention to this person, she had to respond to him in order to save face for both parties.

Lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, An Lingrong said with a smile, "I haven't seen Concubine Qi for a long time, and I miss you very much. Unfortunately, when I woke up this morning, I felt a little dizzy. I think it's because of the cold, so I really can't stay with you for long!"

"Oh! Anpin, you actually caught a cold?"

Concubine Qi originally just wanted to come here to make her presence felt. On the other hand, ever since the Queen gave the order to go and make friends with Zhen Huan and others, she has been trying hard to carry it out.

It just so happened that today, the six palaces were being conferred titles. As a spectator, Concubine Qi felt that this was a very reasonable opportunity to walk around for a while. Of course, she couldn't let go of such a good opportunity easily!

Originally, Concubine Qi's first choice was Shen Meizhuang, who was favored by the Queen Mother.

However, Shen Meizhuang was secretly detained by the Queen Mother. Concubine Qi, who was unaware of the situation, looked outside for a long time but did not see Shen Meizhuang, so she could only settle for the next best thing.

At this moment, seeing An Lingrong using "illness" as an excuse for refusal, Qi's eyes widened, and for a moment they were at a loss what to do.

"Ha ha……"

An Lingrong smiled and nodded, without answering Concubine Qi's question full of disbelief.

Fang Ruo and An Lingrong already had a tacit understanding, so as soon as they gave an order, the eunuchs in charge of carrying the sedan chair immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly carried the sedan chair and sped away from the palace road.

"My lady, why don't you go back?"

Cuiguo saw that Concubine Qi's face was changing from gloomy to bright, and she felt uneasy, fearing that Concubine Qi would suddenly come up with some "idea" again.

Fortunately, at this moment, the queen's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Concubine Qi, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the Queen's question, Concubine Qi was in a trance, then turned around and smiled, "I just met Concubine An here and chatted with her for a few words. I didn't expect that Concubine An actually caught a cold. It's really..."

Before she could utter the word "useless", Concubine Qi suddenly felt someone pulling her sleeve. She saw Cuiguo looking panicked and winking at her frantically.

Concubine Qi looked at the Queen and saw that her face was not looking good either. Although she didn't understand why, she didn't continue speaking.

"Well, you don't have to do this anymore."

The queen took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said calmly: "If there is nothing else important, please come with me."

"Yes!"

Concubine Qi was originally very idle, and when she heard that the Queen was going to take her along, she thought that the Queen was very pleased with her recent actions, so she happily followed her.

After the Queen and her companions left, the master and the servant in the corner saw the entire scene.

At this moment, Cao Qinmo, who happened to pass by, had a flash of eyes and knew that there would probably be another good show to watch next.
