An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 48 New Year's Eve is coming

An Lingrong decided to keep a low profile, but she still paid attention to the movements in the outside world as usual.

Just as An Lingrong had guessed before, the emperor did take a "gentle and gentle" approach to Hua Fei's outrageous behavior.

Since Concubine Qi was the one who initiated this matter, if she didn't go to Yikun Palace to provoke Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua would naturally not offend the Queen!

Therefore, the emperor first called Concubine Qi to the Yangxin Palace and reprimanded her.

After scolding, the emperor did not deprive Concubine Qi of the "authorization" she had obtained from the Queen, and still allowed her and Concubine Hua to handle the affairs of the six palaces together. This could be regarded as a disguised way of appeasing the Queen again.

The queen was still "sick" and needed to rest well. She pretended not to see or hear what was happening outside and ignored it completely. Then, the matter came to an end.

When An Lingrong heard the news, she laughed.

Everything was just as she expected, but the more so, the more cautious she had to be.

Hua Fei probably won't think that the Emperor is protecting her, and will only continue to hate Qi Fei, and even Shen Meizhuang and Fu Cha Guiren who are helping her will be angered as well.

An Lingrong is now focusing on the fact that she is afraid of the cold weather, and she will not leave Shuiyuxuan easily.

However, it was impossible for An Lingrong to remain indifferent to the sick Zhen Huan.

For several days in a row, An Lingrong went to the main hall of Suiyuxuan early in the morning.

Every time they arrived at the main hall, An Lingrong either accompanied Zhen Huan for meals or chatted with her about poetry and songs.

Zhen Huan was a very talented woman, so she was naturally happy to see An Lingrong being so humble and eager to learn.

Zhen Huan had similar thoughts to An Lingrong, both felt that the waters in the palace were too deep and too muddy.

With my current level, if I rush into it rashly, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died in the end!

Zhen Huan just wanted to wait and see, and she took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician as usual. However, if outsiders came to visit her, Zhen Huan would immediately act like she was sick.

These days, the Queen also sent Jianqiu here several times.

Although he was mainly concerned about Zhen Huan's health, he couldn't help but ask about An Lingrong's well-being.

One day, Zhen Huan had just finished lunch when Jianqiu came to visit.

Zhen Huan was already accustomed to this, so she met the other party in a weak appearance, coughing twice from time to time, and simply completed the conversation. She then asked Cui Jinxi to escort the person out of Suiyuxuan in a safe manner.

"The Queen really favors my sister!"

As soon as Jianqiu left, Zhen Huan started teasing An Lingrong who was standing beside her.

"I really don't deserve what you said, sister!"

An Lingrong could tell that Zhen Huan was just joking with her, so she said with a smile, "If we talk about being favored by the Queen, who can compare to you?"

This is not empty talk. Every time the Queen sent Jianqiu over, she would ask about Zhen Huan's recovery and whether An Lingrong was safe.

But at the same time, she would have people send nourishing medicines or supplements every now and then, so that Zhen Huan is now a hot topic among the six palaces.

There were three maids living in the small Suiyuxuan, none of them had ever been selected, but two of them were favored by the emperor and the empress.

How could such a thing not attract the attention of the six palaces?

"Alas, the more this happens, the more I dare not go out!"

Zhen Huan sighed, put down the book in her hand, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

She had thought that she might become the target of public criticism, so she took advantage of the fact that the Queen had waived the ceremony of paying respects and stayed in her own palace, not going out to see anyone or interacting with others.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would soon be forgotten by everyone.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone’s focus will naturally shift.

That is true, but the tree wants to be still and the wind does not stop!

Zhen Huan wanted to be quiet and have less presence.

However, the queen would send people to deliver gifts or inquire about her recent situation every now and then.

In the eyes of the concubines in the six palaces, this behavior was clearly the Queen showing off her favor for Zhen Huan!

While everyone was envious, they couldn't help but recall the rumors when they first entered the palace.

It is said that Zhen Huan is similar to Queen Chun Yuan. Of course, this cannot be said directly on the table, but how can one stop one's thoughts just because one wants to?

Zhen Huan also thought that there was such a reason involved, and she also had some doubts about the Queen's "concern".

"So, it seems like Sister will have to stay in bed for a few more months?"

An Lingrong heard the unfinished meaning in "Legend of Zhen Huan" and immediately understood that this person was still unwilling to face the six concubines in the palace.

"Yeah." Zhen Huan nodded.

She did have that idea.

It is said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. Zhen Huan didn’t take it seriously before, but now it seems really scary!

"But if that's the case, then the young lady won't be able to attend the New Year's Eve banquet!"

Cui Jinxi also came back at this time, and heard what Zhen Huan said, so she said this.

New Year’s Eve dinner!

When An Lingrong heard this, her brows immediately frowned.

If I remember correctly, in her previous life, Zhen Huan claimed to be sick and did not attend the banquet.

However, not long after New Year's Eve, a palace maid who was cleaning the Yime Garden was noticed by the emperor and was immediately named "Lady Miaoyin". She became the most famous person for a while.

An Lingrong only found out afterwards that Yu Shi was actually just taking advantage of Zhen Huan!

That time, it was Zhen Huan who secretly ran to Yime Garden and was almost discovered. After escaping in a panic, Yu Ying'er claimed responsibility for Zhen Huan's actions, which is how she gained the favor of the emperor.

Now that she has the chance to do it all over again, An Lingrong feels a bit complicated.

After a moment of silence, An Lingrong said, "If that's the case, then I'll stay up with you, sister!"

After these words were spoken, Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi were both stunned.

Zhen Huan was surprised that An Lingrong chose to accompany her instead of attending the banquet. Cui Jinxi felt that An Lingrong might not know the importance of this "New Year's Eve Banquet", otherwise she might not have said that.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

After coming to her senses, Zhen Huan immediately picked up the book and gently hit An Lingrong, "The New Year's Eve banquet is set up by the emperor, and the royal family is invited to attend the banquet. Not only must all the concubines in the palace attend, but there will be rewards afterwards!"

Zhen Huan was reluctant to go because she was worried that she would be in the spotlight again, but that didn't mean she didn't know the benefits of the New Year's Eve banquet.

Not to mention external things like food, drink and rewards, if you are favored by the emperor at the banquet, then the emperor's favor will be within your reach!

"Sister, you have concerns in your heart, and so do I."

An Lingrong was silent for a moment, then slowly gave this answer.

When Zhen Huan heard this, her expression froze and she was speechless afterwards.

Although Cui Jinxi wanted to say something but hesitated, she saw that An Lingrong had made up her mind.

She hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not offer any "suggestions".

Under the eager anticipation of everyone in the six palaces, the palace finally welcomed the annual event of "New Year's Eve"!
