An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"This is really unreasonable!"

Yongzheng slammed the secret report on the table with a gloomy expression.

This secret report was sent by the inner palace spy he left in the palace, and it clearly recorded Concubine Hua's recent actions.

Anything else would have been fine, but when he saw that Concubine Hua actually ordered people to join forces with Nian Gengyao to suppress a mere county magistrate, Yongzheng was furious and deeply disappointed.

The former dynasty and the harem seem to be clearly divided, but in fact, undercurrents are surging underneath, and there are invisible connections everywhere.

The high-ranking concubines in the harem are even more special. Even if their mother's family does not have a high status at the beginning, as their daughter's rank rises, there is a certain probability that their mother's family will be reused by the emperor.

No matter which situation it is, when a concubine is promoted to the position of a concubine or above, her mother's family will at least be promoted to the position of a prefect.

The case of the Nian family is different because Nian Gengyao had already worked in Prince Yong's palace long before Yongzheng ascended the throne. Later, he became Yongzheng's "confidant" and helped him ascend the throne.

Because of this, the brother and sister Nian Gengyao and Nian Shilan seemed to support and rely on each other.

In Yongzheng's view, this was a double "betrayal" of himself!

He was already wary of Nian Gengyao, whose military achievements were becoming more and more profound. But the court needed him again and the other side was an expert in military operations, so Yongzheng had no choice but to let Nian Gengyao lead the troops to fight again.

As a result, it just started and such a mess happened!

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The empress and the emperor originally lived together to show the harmony between them.

So, when Yongzheng was sulking, the queen came over to "show concern" for him.

Given the Queen's understanding of Yongzheng, and the recent change in the court's tone, how could she not see what Yongzheng was angry about?

However, in the Queen's view, this is obviously a rare "opportunity" for her!

Since being conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, Nian Shilan's arrogance has become more and more arrogant, even worse than before.

The Queen saw all of this, but she remembered the teachings of her aunt, the Queen Mother, and never responded directly.

To others, this clearly shows that the queen is powerless. There may be people who turn against her at the critical moment, or there may be people who sympathize with her and use her for their own benefit!

Therefore, the queen would rather endure the criticism and choose to remain silent.

Before they left the palace, the Queen Mother called the Queen to her palace and gave her some earnest instructions.

The Empress Dowager meant that she hoped the Empress could seize this rare opportunity to be alone with the Emperor, or at least strengthen her status in the Emperor's mind.

The Queen listened to the Queen Mother's advice, kept it in mind, and wanted to put it into action.

Now, for the queen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"nothing."

Yongzheng had no idea what the queen was thinking, but out of instinct, he did not want the queen to know the truth of these matters.

"I know that the Queen is very busy and exhausted. As the Queen and the Emperor's wife, I cannot share His Majesty's worries. I am really incompetent!"

When the Queen saw Yongzheng's evasive attitude, she knew that in his heart, he still wanted to protect Concubine Hua.

The queen forced herself to ignore the bitterness in her heart and acted as if she was blaming herself.

Seeing this, Yongzheng sighed and said, "It's a palace matter, but it has nothing to do with the queen, and you don't know about it, so there's no need to be like this."

Because the queen had been in a state of "power deprivation" before, and the harem was almost entirely ruled by Concubine Hua, so Yongzheng certainly could not blame the queen in turn.

Not only could he not blame the Queen, Yongzheng also had to comfort her.

"Ah?" The Queen pretended to be stunned, paused, and asked, "What happened in the palace? I just saw that the Emperor was frowning, could it be because of his sisters..."

The queen did not say the rest.

According to the Queen's idea, she certainly hoped that the pregnant Shen Meizhuang and others could be killed by the equally jealous Concubine Hua when she and the Emperor were not in the Forbidden City.

However, the Queen was well aware of Concubine Hua's strength.

Even though he looks aggressive at ordinary times, as far as scheming is concerned, Nian Shilan has none of that!

Therefore, the queen certainly did not have any further ideas.

"It's Concubine Hua."

Yongzheng originally planned to tell the Queen about what had happened recently in the palace. However, he changed his mind and thought, if the Queen knew about it, wouldn’t that be like handing Concubine Hua’s “handle” to the Queen?

Concubine Hua and the Queen have always been at odds with each other. Yongzheng not only heard about this matter, but many times, once the matter came to him, he would often choose to protect Nian Shilan instead of the Queen who was more "reasonable".

After hesitating for a moment, Yongzheng still did not tell the truth.

Concubine Hua? "

Facing the Queen's puzzled question, Yongzheng said: "Concubine Hua and those people below are making trouble again!"

Yongzheng used the word "again" as the finishing touch to confuse this matter with previous jealousies.

"Oh okay."

As expected, the queen did not continue to ask questions, but nodded, as if she understood.

"Then I am relieved."

……

"Your Majesty! The Emperor is back!"

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was tasting freshly baked crab meat cakes. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Songzhi came trotting in and brought her good news.

"what?"

Hearing Songzhi say this, Concubine Hua was stunned.

The emperor is back?

But according to the current process, the emperor should come back with the queen tomorrow.

Moreover, even if the emperor decided to return to the palace early, he should notify the concubines to go to the palace gate to welcome him...

At this moment, Concubine Hua felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

I always feel that something is not right!

Because she was thinking, Concubine Hua did not reply immediately.

Seeing this, Songzhi didn't want to disturb her master, but she still had the emperor's order to convey, so she had to say, "Your Majesty, the emperor asked you to go to the Yangxin Palace to see him!"

"What? You want me to go now?"

Before Concubine Hua could figure out what was going on, she heard Song Zhi say this. She immediately came to her senses and asked back a question.

"Yes." Songzhi nodded.

This was reported by Xiao Xiazi, who was Su Peisheng's apprentice and also served in the imperial court, so his words were naturally reliable.

But because it was not the imperial edict announced by Su Peisheng, there was no need for Concubine Hua to receive it in person. He just asked Songzhi to tell Concubine Hua to go and see the emperor as soon as possible.

"Forget it, change my clothes!"

Concubine Hua ignored her uneasiness, ordered Songzhi to change her clothes, and then hurried to the Yangxin Palace.
