An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

When the emperor gave a banquet, according to past custom, everyone had to toast the emperor and say auspicious words.

Hua Fei's behavior was not originally considered extraordinary.

However, what Hua Fei said was indeed problematic, and it caused the entire atmosphere in the venue to stagnate.

Hua Fei’s first sentence was to wish the Emperor good health, which was naturally correct, but what about the second sentence?

How many beautiful women?

This seems to be a compliment to the emperor, but the sourness contained in it is not concealed at all.

Yongzheng naturally knew Hua Fei's temperament very well.

She is not only arrogant and domineering, but also very jealous.

In the past, the emperor would have been happy to see this.

After all, if Concubine Hua would be jealous, it means that she really loves herself terribly!

The emperor was naturally happy with this kind of "little fun".

But it’s different now!

Now, sitting in the Qianqing Palace are not only himself and the concubines, but also those former brothers and their wives!

Once Concubine Hua shouted this, wouldn't these people be laughing at her and regard her as a playboy?

Seeing several princes casting teasing glances at him, the smile on the emperor's face faded a little.

"Sister Hua Fei has a really clever tongue!"

The Empress' attention had always been focused on the Emperor, so she naturally noticed Yongzheng's change of expression the first time. At this moment, she smiled softly and said to him, "But you want to say there are too many beauties? Haha, the Emperor has just ascended the throne, and he doesn't want to be extravagant. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's advocacy of selecting girls so that there would be more women to fill the harem and expand the royal family, the Emperor would not have these new sisters entering the palace to accompany us out of consideration for the Empress Dowager's motherly love. Even so, the Emperor didn't want to let too many people enter the palace, so he only selected these sisters."

The Queen paused for a moment, then continued, "You sisters are young, so you must serve diligently and continue the Emperor's lineage!"

After the Queen's words, the Emperor's expression, which had just gloomed, lightened up a little, but Concubine Hua's expression became extremely ugly.

She naturally knew from the emperor's reaction that she had said the wrong thing just now, but she just couldn't control herself!

It’s just a pity that the Queen is always so hypocritical, and even now she wants to bring up the issue of offspring!

When she thought of this, Concubine Hua instantly clenched the cup in her hand, and her knuckles turned slightly white because she was squeezing too hard.

At the same time, An Lingrong and the others naturally could not ignore the Queen's call, and they all stood up and said, "We concubines will follow the Queen's instructions and serve the Emperor well, fulfill our duties as concubines, and dare not slack off in the slightest!"

"Okay, sit down, don't stand there!"

It was not until this time that Yongzheng finally spoke and glanced at Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei was originally filled with anger, but when the emperor gave her a warning look, her anger immediately turned into deep grievance.

However, in such a situation, Concubine Hua naturally didn't dare to do anything weird.

Without Concubine Hua adding fuel to the fire, the banquet finally returned to peace.

"Your Majesty is right. I am older and will help teach these sisters and share the worries of Your Majesty and Your Majesty!"

Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua had never gotten along well, and she had previously been humiliated because of the fight for the management power of the six palaces. Now that she saw Concubine Hua being humiliated, she was so happy that she immediately took the initiative to interrupt him cheerfully.

"Concubine Qi, you should eat more vegetables." Yongzheng looked at Concubine Qi with a meaningful look, hoping that she would shut up obediently.

But Concubine Qi had always been a person without tact. Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. Then she covered her lips with her hand and smiled delicately, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"

Her reaction immediately left many people speechless.

Everyone heard the emperor's subtext and knew that he didn't want the situation that had just returned to calm to be disturbed again by Concubine Qi. However, the emperor didn't hear the hidden meaning at all and actually took the beating as concern.

But then again, it would be much easier if one could live in one's own world as "innocently" and peacefully as Concubine Qi.

"Forget it, let's start eating!"

Just as he understood Concubine Hua, Yongzheng also knew Concubine Qi's temperament very well.

Therefore, Yongzheng did not bother with Concubine Qi, but waved his hand and asked everyone to start eating.

Normally, at a banquet like this, without the emperor's approval, others would not dare to pick up their chopsticks.

Now that the emperor had spoken, everyone had no more scruples and, served by the eunuchs beside them, began to taste the delicious dishes from the imperial kitchen.

An Lingrong ate her meal quietly, her attention focused only on herself.

But at this moment, a voice came from the side.

"Oh, this sister, I guess she must be An Changzai from Suiyuxuan?"

The sound was not loud, but it was just loud enough for An Lingrong to hear.

An Lingrong could guess who was talking without even turning around.

With this kind of artificial tone, he is undoubtedly the number one "brain trust" around Concubine Hua!

"Haha, sister, I want to talk to you, but why do you ignore me?"

Concubine Cao was originally speaking to An Lingrong in a low voice, but when she got no response, she raised her voice.

As soon as she said this, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and Xin Changzai who were sitting next to An Lingrong all looked at her sideways.

But An Lingrong seemed unaware of this and continued to leisurely savor the dishes in front of her.

"cough!"

It was not until Baojuan, who was standing behind her, wanted to remind her that An Lingrong put down her chopsticks. Then she turned her head to look at Concubine Cao, who was two tables behind her. She smiled and said, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. You were still eating just now, so it's not easy for you to respond to me. I don't know what you want to say."

“Haha… So that’s how it is!”

Concubine Cao originally felt that it was a bit embarrassing for An Lingrong to pay attention to her, so she raised her voice, trying to create the image of An Lingrong being "high-handed". However, An Lingrong's words "Don't talk while eating" easily resolved the issue. At this moment, her face froze, and then she smiled again and said, "Sister, I have heard that there are three constants living together in Suiyu Pavilion, which can be said to be 'hidden dragons and crouching tigers'. It's a rare opportunity to see them today, and I just know that the rumor is true, so I wanted to chat with you!"

"Ok?"

An Lingrong was surprised when she heard this, and then she asked curiously, "It's no secret that I live in Suiyuxuan with Concubine Wan and Concubine Chun, and this isn't the first time I've met Concubine Cao, right? Although... Sister doesn't come to pay respects to the Empress often, it's not that rare to see her, right?"

"Pfft!"

An Lingrong's seemingly serious question made Xin Changzai on her left unable to hold back and burst into laughter instantly.

In comparison, the "perfect smile" that Concubine Cao had worked so hard to create suddenly became shaky again.

At the same time, she keenly felt that An Lingrong was setting a trap for her with these words!

Just as Concubine Cao was about to fight back, An Lingrong's light voice came again.

"Of course, I know that you have to take care of Princess Wen Yi and serve Concubine Hua at the same time, so you are naturally busy on weekdays."

An Lingrong said she understood, but then she changed the subject and said, "But the Empress is the master of the palace. No matter how important the matter is, we must not miss the opportunity to pay respects to the Empress. Sister, you should keep this in mind. If you miss us, just go to Jingren Palace often and you will see us naturally."
