An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Sister, the plum blossom hairpin on your head is so exquisitely designed!"

Sure enough, when An Lingrong changed her clothes and appeared in front of Zhen Huan, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

Zhen Huan was not stingy with her praise, and she could tell at a glance that the plum blossom hairpin worn on An Lingrong's head must have been a reward from the emperor.

"Sister, you are so kind, but I just want to take advantage of the festive occasion."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, and she and Zhen Huan looked at each other, revealing a tacit smile.

She had reminded Zhen Huan before and asked her to be prepared so that she could respond to the emperor's summons at any time.

Since that day, Zhen Huan finally listened to a lot of what An Lingrong said, and she forced herself to change her mentality.

So, when seeing An Lingrong starting to dress up, Zhen Huan certainly understood the deep meaning behind this move.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan's smile deepened, and then she said, "Okay, let's go quickly. If we miss the time, it will be bad!"

This time, the emperor held a banquet in the Qianqing Palace. Because it was a royal "family banquet", those present included the emperor, empress, and concubines in the harem, as well as princes, wives, and various relatives from the royal family.

For a grand occasion like this, the Queen Mother, the head of the royal family, would definitely show up.

However, the empress dowager said that she was old and not in good health, so she would not attend such a banquet. The emperor did not force her to do so, but he and the empress went to the empress dowager's palace in the afternoon and kept her company for a long time.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan had already packed up their things and were about to leave Sui Yuxuan and head to the Qianqing Palace with Liu Zhu, Huanbi, Baojuan and others.

"Sisters, don't you want to wait for me?"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far behind An Lingrong and the others.

When An Lingrong heard the voice, she turned around and saw Chun'er slowly walking out of the east side hall accompanied by two old maids.

"It turned out to be Sister Chun'er."

Zhen Huan also set her sights on Chun Er. At this moment, she curled her lips and smiled. "I thought my sister had already left for the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I was afraid that I would miss the auspicious time, so I wanted to catch up with her. Unexpectedly, my sister has not left the house either."

"Ha ha……"

Chun'er was obviously not satisfied with the "explanation" given by Zhen Huan. She gave a fake smile and walked out on her own.

"My lord! Slow down!"

The two old maids looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. At the same time, they apologized to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, and hurriedly caught up.

"This young lady Chun is becoming more and more arrogant!"

Huanbi has always regarded herself as "Zhen Huan's mouthpiece". Seeing Chun'er directly turning her face away from Zhen Huan and the others, her face suddenly darkened, and she said sarcastically: "It's like this before you get favor. If you get favored one day, I'm afraid you will go to heaven!"

Although Chun'er walked quickly, she did not go far. As soon as Huanbi finished speaking, her figure paused, obviously because she heard these words.

However, Chun'er did not turn back to argue with Huanbi about this matter. Instead, she waited for the two old maids to catch up, and then she walked forward quickly again.

"Huanbi."

Only after Chun Er had gone far away did Zhen Huan say, "Don't say such nonsense in the future."

Having said that, there wasn't much blame in Zhen Huan's tone.

"My lady, I know the importance of this matter, but I despise Concubine Chun's frivolous attitude! She just wants to gain some respect from the Empress, and she has always looked down on others. She is so arrogant!

Huanbi knew that Zhen Huan had no intention of blaming her, and she was actually speaking up for Zhen Huan. Upon hearing this, she expressed all her past dissatisfaction with Chun'er.

"All right!"

Seeing that Huanbi was getting a little out of control, Zhen Huan emphasized her tone and said, "No matter what, she is still the young lady of the palace. You can't talk about her behind her back. If you bring disaster upon yourself in the future, won't you suffer the consequences?"

"Yes, I've made note of it and will never do it again."

Huanbi also felt the change in Zhen Huan's attitude from the change in her tone. Her face changed immediately and she became obedient in an instant.

"My two young ladies, please don't worry about this matter. Let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity as soon as possible!"

Baojuan felt that Huanbi had already shown her loyalty, and she should also demonstrate her loyalty in front of An Lingrong, so she learned her lesson and reminded everyone to hurry on their way.

"Sister, let's go."

An Lingrong knew that in Zhen Huan's heart, she no longer cared about Chun'er.

Because of this, Huanbi started pointing fingers at Chun'er before she had even walked far away, and Zhen Huan did not interrupt her immediately.

But Huanbi also had a weak sense of propriety. Since Zhen Huan did not stop her, she became a little inflated. This forced Zhen Huan to give her a good warning to prevent Huanbi from getting into trouble in the future.

"Ah."

Zhen Huan nodded, but walked towards the Qianqing Palace hand in hand with An Lingrong.

Because it was still early, they were not in a hurry to travel.

Of course, the more important point is that Zhen Huan doesn't want to run into Chun'er again at this time.

After all, Huanbi had spoken rudely before, and even if she had tacitly approved of this behavior, if she ran into Chun'er again on the road, there was no guarantee that she would not fight back.

As long as they arrived at the Qianqing Palace and all the concubines in the six palaces gathered together, Chun'er naturally would not dare to make any moves.

……

The Qianqing Palace, as one of the "three inner palaces" of the Forbidden City, is the residence of the emperor.

It was only because Yongzheng built the Hall of Mental Cultivation as his daily living place after he ascended the throne that the Palace of Heavenly Purity gradually became the venue for royal banquets.

At this time, the entire palace was decorated with gold and splendor and brightly lit.

Under the guidance of the young eunuch, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan passed through numerous corridors, climbed the long steps, and finally entered the hall.

"call……"

As soon as Zhen Huan sat down, she let out a long sigh and looked at An Lingrong beside her.

An Lingrong was calm and composed, and she was also determined in her heart.

This was the first banquet of this scale since they entered the palace. Even someone as calm as Zhen Huan couldn't help feeling a little nervous at this moment.

In comparison, these were undoubtedly dwarfed by the giants in An Lingrong's eyes, and naturally she did not take them seriously.

An Lingrong gave Zhen Huan a soothing look, while also looking at the concubines around her.

As expected, they were all familiar faces, but because it had been a long time since they last met, An Lingrong's memory of them had become a little fuzzy.

The emperor sat on the main seat in the hall, with the queen sitting next to him. Even a noble concubine like Concubine Hua could only be ranked among the concubines, not much different from Concubine Qi. At this moment, she had her usual fake smile on her face.

In addition, An Lingrong discovered that Concubine Duan still had not appeared and seemed to be still ill.

Therefore, apart from Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi, the one with the highest rank was Concubine Li, followed by Shen Meizhuang, Noble Lady Fucha and others.

From this perspective, there are really very few people in the palace nowadays.

That's true. After all, it hasn't been long since the emperor ascended the throne, and he only took eight people into the palace during the selection, which is not a lot.

In comparison, it was the princes, dukes and their wives sitting there who seemed to be a much larger number.

"At this family dinner, everyone present is from my family. I hope everyone can be free and drink to their heart's content!"

Just as An Lingrong was analyzing everyone on the field, Yongzheng glanced around, then took the lead in raising the golden cup in front of him and gave a speech.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone immediately responded, and for a moment the entire hall was filled with cheers of congratulations.

After three rounds of drinking, Concubine Hua narrowed her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. She asked Songzhi to fill the wine glass in front of her again, but she stood up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I wish you good health and safety, and congratulations on your beautiful wife!"
