An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Naturally, An Lingrong knew nothing about the conversation between Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi after she left.

However, she went to visit Zhen Huan intentionally, and said those words in order to plant a "seed" in Zhen Huan's heart.

After everything was arranged, An Lingrong wanted to give Zhen Huan some time to think, so she took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Fang Ruo said nothing on the way. After returning to Yonghe Palace, she first served An Lingrong.

"Aunt, do you have anything to say?"

An Lingrong said nothing at first, but when Fang Ruo was about to leave, she stopped her and asked this question.

Fang Ruo was still holding a few hairpins and rings that she had taken off for An Lingrong. When she heard An Lingrong asking her this, she was stunned at first, and then nodded in agreement.

"My lord, there is one thing I do not understand, but..."

But because An Lingrong hadn't said much before, Fang Ruo didn't know whether she would choose to explain, so in the end she didn't say anything.

Seeing that An Lingrong took the initiative to mention this matter, Fang Ruo knew that An Lingrong would explain it to her.

Since being assigned by the emperor to An Lingrong, Fang Ruo has not only been the aunt in charge of Yonghe Palace, but also An Lingrong's "adviser".

She has been in the palace for many years, and these are all valuable "experiences" that are not possessed by ordinary palace maids.

If not for this, An Lingrong would not have valued Fang Ruo so much.

Seeing Fang Ruo's attitude of listening attentively, An Lingrong laughed.

"Aunt, please sit down first and listen to me slowly!"

"Yes!"

There was no one around, so Fang Ruo didn't bother to be polite with An Lingrong. Since the master had given her a seat, she just had to thank him honestly.

Sitting down not far from An Lingrong, Fang Ruo turned her gaze to An Lingrong, waiting for her words.

"The doubts in Aunt's heart should have existed since the Changchun Palace, right?"

An Lingrong first asked back with a smile, and when Fang Ruo nodded, she continued, "And what I said to Sister Wan after I arrived at Sui Yu Xuan also made Aunt feel strange. It was obviously calm, so why did I take the initiative to stir up trouble?"

Seeing that An Lingrong had spoken out all her thoughts, Fang Ruo nodded again and said, "My lady, you understand my thoughts very well, but... I don't quite understand you now!"

Just like the feelings of Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi after An Lingrong left, Fang Ruo, who was with An Lingrong every day, undoubtedly had deeper feelings in this regard.

Originally, although An Lingrong seemed calm, she needed reminders in many aspects.

As long as An Lingrong thought what he said made sense, she would usually choose to listen to it.

However, Fang Ruo didn't know when it started, but she found that An Lingrong's actions were becoming more and more independent.

This is not a bad thing in itself, it means that An Lingrong has also grown.

Fang Ruo is not the type of person who wants to control his master and manipulate others, and he has always been very clear about his "identity".

However, there was only one thing that made Fang Ruo feel something was wrong!

That is An Lingrong's attitude towards the emperor.

Unlike others, An Lingrong not only did not actively seek favor, but even when Yongzheng came, she would rather not sleep with him.

At first, Fang Ruo thought that An Lingrong acted like this because she was pregnant and was considering the royal heir.

But as time went on, Fang Ruo gradually noticed some clues.

Perhaps, An Lingrong's avoidance of favor and her pregnancy were also related to a certain extent, but more importantly... it was because she didn't "care" about Yongzheng!

Yes, in Fangruo's eyes, she thought that her young lady didn't care about the emperor at all.

When it comes to serving the emperor, An Lingrong will not be perfunctory or vague. She will do things just as they should be.

But after doing her "duty", An Lingrong would not try to please the emperor or cater to others like Zhen Huan and the others did.

To Fangruo, this was simply incomprehensible.

In the palace, the emperor is the king!

If you have the emperor's favor, even someone as noble as the empress can't do anything to you.

But if she is not favored, what can she do even if she is the imperial concubine second only to the emperor?

Fang Ruo didn't believe that An Lingrong didn't understand this truth.

Because of this, Fang Ruo felt very uncomfortable when she heard An Lingrong's words to Zhen Huan in Sui Yuxuan.

"Aunt, let me ask you, is there any hope for us girls in this palace?"

An Lingrong was silent for a long time, and when Fang Ruo began to feel uneasy, she asked this question.

"Naturally there is."

Fang Ruo nodded and was about to have a good talk with An Lingrong, but she interrupted her.

"To compete for favor, to invite favor, to compete with others for beauty, just to be favored by the emperor temporarily, and then what? If you are lucky, you can give birth to a son or daughter, and then you will have a support in the future, right?"

Seeing that An Lingrong had finished what she was going to say, Fang Ruo felt as if her mouth was blocked by her, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Just as An Lingrong said, for women in the palace, especially those who become concubines, the end of their career is already in sight.

If you are a servant, if you are ambitious, you will want to climb up. If you have no ambition and just want to stay quiet and wait until you leave the palace, then you are naturally not in this category.

"I just think that instead of fighting with others, it's better to wait and see what happens."

An Lingrong said, "Auntie has been a court lady since the reign of Emperor Shengzu. She has seen a lot, so how could she not understand my intention?"

After hearing this, Fang Ruo was even more speechless.

According to An Lingrong's theory, this is actually true.

Nothing stays the same forever, and the same goes for the direction of the harem.

Take Concubine Hua as an example. When she was at her best, she was the most favored woman in the harem. Although she was only a concubine at the time, she had already left the empress with no power to fight back.

But now?

Although she became a noble concubine, whether in terms of emperor's favor or other aspects, Noble Concubine Hua was far inferior to when she was Concubine Hua.

It is never the first person in the palace to go downhill like this, and of course, it will not be the last either.

Since An Lingrong said she wanted to "wait and see", it seems reasonable for her not to engage in meaningless fights with others before that?

"My lord, you are right. It is I who am stupid and only pay attention to the light in front of me!"

Fang Ruo thought it over, then stood up from her chair and bowed politely to An Lingrong.

She was a palace maid, and even if she was a female official, she was still a servant after all.

Saying such words to An Lingrong was actually overstepping the boundaries if one looked deeper.

Although An Lingrong would not punish her for "great disrespect", Fang Ruo still honestly apologized as soon as she figured it out.

"Forget it, Auntie is doing this for my own good, how could I blame you?"

An Lingrong smiled and shook her head, looking nonchalant, and waved her hand, letting Fangruo go down.

After the other person left, the smile on An Lingrong's face gradually faded.
