An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 45 The Emperor’s Mental Technique
When An Lingrong heard the emperor say that he wanted to promote her to the position of a concubine, she was stunned for a moment, but she was unable to conceal her shock, which made Yongzheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile.
"emperor!"
At the same time, Su Peisheng also heard what Yongzheng said. He pushed the door open and looked at the emperor and An Lingrong with a look of surprise on his face.
He had previously felt that An Lingrong had a good personality and would naturally be favored in the future.
But now, Yongzheng wants to promote An even though her name card has not been turned over. This is against the ancestral family rules!
Thinking of this, Su Peisheng hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, Princess An has just entered the palace and has not yet served in the emperor's bedchamber. It is against the rules to promote her before she has been favored!"
"You are doing a better and better job, but you are starting to control me?"
When Yongzheng heard what Su Peisheng said, his face suddenly darkened and he said, "Although An Ying was not selected by me, she served the queen attentively, so I want to reward her. What's wrong with that?"
"Yes……"
When Su Peisheng saw that Yongzheng spoke in this tone, he immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and accepted the order, not daring to try to persuade him any further.
He had followed Yongzheng since he was a child and was very familiar with his master's temperament. Whenever he spoke in this tone, it meant that he had made up his mind and would not allow anyone to disobey.
Su Peisheng had to give some advice because of his duty, otherwise whether An Lingrong was promoted or not would have nothing to do with him.
"Your Majesty's grace is so great that I am terrified! It is my duty to obey the Empress' orders, and I really do not deserve such a reward from the Emperor!"
When An Lingrong saw that the conversation between Yongzheng and Su Peisheng had come to an end, she immediately knelt down and saluted, saying that she dared not.
"I have made up my mind. If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it!"
Yongzheng said calmly: "Why don't you accept my order and thank me?"
Su Peisheng also said to An Lingrong, "Mr. An, thank you quickly!"
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
An Lingrong's words were not a false excuse, but she knew the emperor's character.
Even though promoting himself was just a casual thing for him, if he did not express his humility respectfully, he was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy again.
In her previous life, with the Queen's encouragement and her own efforts, she became a qualified "favored concubine".
Because of this, An Lingrong was able to accurately understand some of the emperor's thoughts.
Only in this way would Yongzheng be satisfied.
"Ah."
Sure enough, when Yongzheng saw that An Lingrong stopped talking and honestly bowed and thanked him, the expression on his face relaxed.
"Su Peisheng, go and draft the decree!"
After giving another order to Su Peisheng, Yongzheng spoke a few words to An Lingrong and sent her away. He himself had no intention of staying in Jingren Palace any longer, so he prepared to go to the front hall to take Concubine Hua away first.
"Your Majesty is seen off respectfully!"
An Lingrong half-knelt outside the palace gate, watching the emperor and a group of eunuchs and guards leave in a mighty procession.
When the emperor and everyone else disappeared, An Lingrong's eyes darkened.
She was promoted from a concubine to a Changzai, although it was only one level apart, but she had not been favored by the emperor, yet she had received this honor. If the concubines in the six palaces heard about it, I am afraid it would cause another wave of uproar!
However, An Lingrong had just analyzed the emperor's intentions in her mind.
She felt that there were only two reasons why the emperor wanted to promote her to be a concubine.
One is, as the emperor said, it is a reward to himself.
As for whether this reward was for his attentiveness and consideration when serving the Queen, or for his staying with Zhen Huan and being able to bring news to the Emperor, everyone has their own opinion.
The second reason is probably also because of this incident!
An Lingrong saw through it early on.
From the moment the Queen pretended to be sick, she was setting up a trap.
The game targets Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi is her son, Shen Meizhuang and Noble Lady Fucha are her assistants, and the power of the six palaces is used as bait.
So, no matter what, Concubine Hua will definitely take the bait!
After all, only by holding the palace power can she, the favored concubine, compete with the empress, the legitimate mistress of the six palaces.
How could Concubine Hua let it go when Concubine Qi and others came to share power?
When it comes to scheming and tactics, Concubine Hua is no match for the Queen, and she ends up being trapped herself.
Therefore, when the emperor chose to promote her at this time, An Lingrong thought that the emperor wanted to use this opportunity to make the queen keep quiet.
Because the emperor will not touch the Nian family now, and even if Concubine Hua offends the Empress, he will definitely protect her.
But now that things have come to this, I must give an explanation to the Queen, otherwise the Queen Mother will not be able to get away with it.
At this time, promoting An Lingrong will undoubtedly have multiple effects.
First of all, An Lingrong was a concubine who had just entered the palace, but she had already won the favor of the Queen. Yongzheng also understood the Queen's intention, and promoting An Lingrong was also a way of giving face to the Queen.
"That's all."
An Lingrong thought of this and shook her head.
Regardless of the emperor's true thoughts, she had gained substantial benefits in this matter, but she also had to guard against the hidden dangers that followed.
An Lingrong suppressed all the thoughts in her mind and returned to the Queen's bedroom once again before leaving.
The emperor could run away without saying a word, but she couldn't. Even if she wanted to leave, she had to at least let him know.
"My lady, Miss An is here."
Jianqiu was originally serving the Queen medicine. When she saw An Lingrong coming, her eyes became complicated for a moment.
An Lingrong did not miss the instant change in Jianqiu's eyes, so she concluded that the Queen must also know the news of her promotion.
"I wanted to come and see the queen again. Is she awake?"
Because they were quite far away, An Lingrong was not sure whether the Queen was awake or half-conscious, so she asked Jianqiu.
"The queen has woken up not long ago and just took the medicine."
Jianqiu simply answered An Lingrong and looked at the Queen at the same time.
"An Changzai, you have worked hard for a long time, go back and rest early!"
The Queen had no intention of letting An Lingrong get closer, but instead signaled her that she could go back.
This was An Lingrong's original purpose, and from the way the Queen addressed her, it was not difficult to tell that she had indeed known about this.
An Lingrong was just about to bow and leave when she heard the Queen's voice.
"I know the emperor's intentions. You are also an excellent person. You must not slack off in the future. Only by ensuring that you have all these advantages can you serve the emperor better. You are a smart person. You naturally know what I mean!"
The Queen's words were half a reminder and half a warning. How could An Lingrong not understand her true meaning?
The Queen simply wanted to let her know that the reason she was able to be promoted was all because of the Queen's blessing!
If she behaves obediently in the future, there will naturally be more benefits. Otherwise, An Lingrong will have to fend for herself.
"Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will follow your instructions and never forget them."
An Lingrong's tone was the same as before, without any arrogance or impetuousness revealed, which made the Queen very satisfied.
The Queen then instructed Jianqiu, "It's late at night. It's not safe for An Changzai to go back alone. Jianqiu, please send her back to Suiyuxuan!"
