"Sister Yunpin, you have come all the way to my Yonghe Palace. I hope you will forgive me if I have not treated you well enough!"

With Liuyun's support, An Lingrong slowly walked out.

When she saw Concubine Yun sitting upright on the chair, An Lingrong smiled and said this.

Concubine Yun was dressed simply, and the color of her cheongsam was not bright, but the material was all real and good stuff.

In addition, she wore corresponding jewelry on her head according to her rank. It was neither too eye-catching nor shabby, and everything was quite proper.

Judging from the appearance alone, apart from the fact that Yunpin looks slightly different from others, her temperament is exactly the same as the women in the palace, and it is obvious that she has integrated very well.

Born in the Mongolian military banner, Yunpin was a woman who grew up on the prairie. Logically, her words and deeds were naturally very different from those of the Manchu and Han concubines in the palace.

Therefore, before coming to the Forbidden City, Yunpin's father specially invited a nanny who was proficient in court etiquette to teach her. Until she successfully entered the palace, Yunpin herself also became familiar with these things.

"Hello, Sister Anpin."

When An Lingrong arrived, Yunpin heard her voice and stood up from her chair. The two greeted each other and performed the ritual of holding each other's hair.

Yunpin is older than An Lingrong, so there is nothing wrong with An Lingrong calling her "sister".

"I wonder if Sister Yunpin has something to do with coming here at this time?"

An Lingrong sat down in the main seat and asked Concubine Yun about her purpose of visit.

They had no dealings with each other before, let alone personal friendship, so there must be a reason for such a sudden visit.

An Lingrong guessed that this "cause" must be related to Shen Meiyu, but the specific reason would depend on Concubine Yun's reaction.

"I know that you and Huipin are very close sisters. I also know what happened in Xianfu Palace."

Concubine Yun didn't seem to like beating around the bush. As soon as An Lingrong asked, she immediately stated the topic.

This answer is not much different from what An Lingrong thought.

"Aunt Fangruo, take a few maids to the small kitchen to prepare some snacks. Sister Yun and I can share some."

Seeing this, An Lingrong did not immediately respond to Yunpin's questions, but gave Fangruo a look.

Her meaning was simple, she just wanted to "talk" to Yunpin alone.

However, considering that there were other people present, An Lingrong felt it was not very convenient.

Therefore, she asked her people to withdraw first, which was also a way to show her sincerity.

"Yes."

Fang Ruo immediately understood An Lingrong's meaning and nodded quickly, while asking everyone to leave.

She was not worried that anything would happen to An Lingrong. Yunpin had no grudge against An Lingrong, and this time she took the initiative to come and visit An Lingrong. If something happened to An Lingrong at this time, Yunpin would naturally be to blame.

Unless one is a fool or really crazy, who would dare to do anything bad to An Lingrong at this time?

"Ok?"

When Concubine Yun saw that everyone left in such a dignified manner, she was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at her trusted maid.

"master?"

The maid did not expect that Concubine An would be so "bold" and actually let everyone leave.

When she received the inquiring gaze from Yunpin at this time, she became hesitant.

Logically, she should stay by her master's side all the time.

Just now...

"The Han Chinese have a saying that it is impolite not to return the favor."

After a brief moment of daze, Yunpin understood An Lingrong's intention and said to the maid, "Xuelian, please go out for a moment. I have something to say to Sister Anpin."

"Yes."

Xuelian was still struggling, but now there is no need for her to hesitate.

After nodding obediently, Xuelian retreated with a nervous mood.

"Sister Yunpin is really knowledgeable."

When An Lingrong saw how Concubine Yun spoke, she knew that she must have been arranged to learn a lot of things before entering the palace.

"No, I can't compare to you guys who have been exposed to these things since childhood."

Concubine Yun shook her head with a very cheerful attitude.

"Although I haven't had much contact with you, but - Anpin, you give me a very strange feeling."

Concubine Yun looked at An Lingrong with curiosity in her eyes.

"Oh? I wonder what's so peculiar about it?"

Suddenly someone used the word "strange" to describe her. An Lingrong felt both amused and annoyed.

"It doesn't matter."

Yunpin shook her head, as if she didn't know how to describe it, and simply skipped the topic.

Then, Yunpin, who did not intend to drag things out, took advantage of the fact that no one was around and prepared to start a "secret talk" that only they knew about.

"You also know that I didn't really come here just to see you. I realized something was wrong after I learned that Huipin was in trouble."

Yunpin said: "You have a good relationship with Huipin. I want to ask you, do you know how this incident happened?"

"Sister Yunpin, if you say that, you are really flattering me."

An Lingrong felt the other party's temptation and shook her head. "Everyone is very concerned about this matter, but there is no definite answer until now. Huipin is even more confused. Although I have a close relationship with her, how can I know the truth?"

……

"Queen!"

In Jingren Palace, everyone held their morning meeting as usual.

After the queen finished her meaningless words, the concubines left one after another as usual.

The queen watched this scene with a smile, but at this moment, Concubine Qi, contrary to everyone else, suddenly came to her side and whispered, "I have something to say to you!"

"Ok?"

Seeing that Concubine Qi came to her side before the other concubines had left and said such words, the Queen looked at Concubine Qi who was so close to her with a puzzled look.

It’s a pity that Concubine Qi has never been someone who can read people’s expressions.

Even though the Queen's doubts and refusal were obvious enough, Concubine Qi seemed unaware and just stared at the Queen.

"Forget it, just follow me."

The Queen also knew that Concubine Qi was very stubborn. Seeing that she didn't understand her "hint" at all, she didn't get angry. Anyway, most people had left by now, so she gestured for her to go to the inner hall with her.

After arriving at the inner hall, the queen sat down first and asked Concubine Qi, "Okay, what do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty! I heard from Cuiguo that I saw Concubine Yun walking around yesterday, and she even went to Concubine An's Yonghe Palace!"

Speaking of this matter, Concubine Qi's tone immediately became vivid. She stared and said, "You know, these Mongolian concubines usually don't like to socialize with others. Concubine Yun is pregnant. She doesn't stay in her own palace to take care of herself, but walks outside. Isn't this too strange?"

"I find you a little strange."

The queen originally thought it was a big deal, but she didn't expect it to be just this.

Looking at the dumbfounded Concubine Qi, the Queen said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember what I told you before?"

"What the Queen said is..." Concubine Qi was a little unresponsive at first, but when she saw the Queen's serious eyes, she instantly recalled the task that the Queen had assigned to her before.

The Queen asked her to get close to An Lingrong, and preferably gain her trust, and then arouse An Lingrong's suspicion of Concubine Hua. If she could cause a fight between the two, she and others would naturally be able to reap the benefits.
