"Okay, young lady, just go in and lie down. The emperor will come naturally after he finishes his government affairs."

Fang Ruo and a group of young palace maids took good care of An Lingrong. They then escorted her to the dragon bed and gave her a few instructions.

"Thank you, aunt."

An Lingrong thanked him with a smile, and then watched him and a group of palace maids leave the Yangxin Palace.

Lying on the bed, An Lingrong naturally saw the totem of the soaring golden dragon.

Unconsciously, her thoughts began to drift away.

The scene was similar in my previous life, but my heart was completely different from what it is now.

An Lingrong still remembered that she was very panicked at that time and she couldn't stop shivering while taking a bath.

Although Fang Ruo had served many concubines and was also an old nanny in the palace, she was accustomed to all kinds of scenes. However, she was a little stunned by An Lingrong's nervousness at that time. Although she tried her best to comfort her, An Lingrong turned a deaf ear to her, and Fang Ruo could do nothing about it.

An Lingrong was a rookie at that time and had no idea how complicated the situation was in the palace. Naturally, she would never have thought that her anxiety was completely exaggerated.

Under that situation, although An Lingrong finally waited for the emperor, Yongzheng never liked to force others in this regard.

After all, the emperor owns three palaces and six courtyards. He only needs to give him a glance and many concubines will come to him and throw themselves into his arms. How could he need to force An Lingrong?

Because of this, the trembling An Lingrong was finally packed up and sent back intact.

At that time, An Lingrong felt extremely humiliated, and felt that all her prospects and future were ruined in that one night.

Although An Lingrong also experienced being stood up by the emperor later, it was definitely not as unforgettable as the first time!

……

"Crench!"

As the door was pushed open from the outside, footsteps were heard from not far away.

The sudden sound brought An Lingrong back to her senses and she focused back on reality.

The emperor has arrived.

Realizing that Yongzheng had already walked into the bedroom, An Lingrong took a deep breath, and then a perfect expression of shyness and uneasiness appeared on her face.

This was her first time to sleep with the emperor. Even though An Lingrong felt calm inside, she could not show such an expression in front of the emperor. Otherwise, it would not only arouse the emperor's suspicion, but also greatly reduce his interest.

In her previous life, An Lingrong had been a "favored concubine" for a long time, and she knew very well how to please the emperor.

In addition to catering to the other person's preferences, the most important thing is actually the word "measure"!

There are many considerations in what to say and what to do at what time.

Unless one has lived with the emperor for many years and is favored by him, it would be impossible for others to figure out these things, even if someone gives them guidance.

There is no need to mention An Lingrong. Although she was supported by the queen in her previous life, she also experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the middle, from being in favor to falling out of favor. The twists and turns were full of bitterness and were not something that ordinary people could understand.

An Lingrong’s ability to get back on her feet several times was not only due to the right time and place, but also closely related to her own efforts.

"Your Majesty, may your majesty be blessed!"

When Yongzheng reached out to lift the bed curtain, An Lingrong said something auspicious in a slightly trembling voice.

"Ah."

Yongzheng looked at the girl who appeared to be calm but was actually trembling slightly, and his expression softened a lot.

According to his original intention, the emperor actually wanted Zhen Huan to sleep with him.

But the Queen advised her that, firstly, Zhen Huan had just recovered from her illness and might not be able to serve the Emperor well, and she might also get sick again. Secondly, even though Zhen Huan had been extremely low-key at the banquet in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, there was no guarantee that some people would regard her as a potential "threat". If the Emperor were to make a move at this time, Zhen Huan would be in the spotlight again!

After listening to the Queen's words, Yongzheng had to admit that what she said made sense, so he finally gave up summoning Zhen Huan to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and instead turned over An Lingrong's nameplate.

Having said that, Yongzheng had no aversion to An Lingrong.

The emperor was even quite impressed by An Lingrong's calm and measured attitude every time she faced him.

Now seeing An Lingrong lying obediently on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, obviously extremely panicked but trying to pretend to be calm, Yongzheng couldn't help but smile.

Then, Yongzheng seemed to have noticed something, but he took a deep breath, then looked at An Lingrong and murmured to himself: "You smell so good!"

Hearing this, An Lingrong's mouth twitched, and memories of her previous life subconsciously emerged.

Fortunately, she had strong self-control. Although she recalled her "dark history" in her heart, she did not show it on her face, but pretended to smile shyly.

Does she smell good?

It would be strange if it didn’t smell good!

The perfumed powder that An Lingrong used was her secret recipe, and it was meant to add fuel to the fire at times like this.

If Yongzheng remained indifferent, An Lingrong would have to wonder if her level had declined.

"Hehehe!"

Yongzheng was obviously pleased with this and immediately burst into a hearty laugh, then turned around and pulled down the bed curtains again.

The night was beautiful, and in a blink of an eye it was the next morning.

Yongzheng's daily routine was set, and he would wake up on his own without anyone calling him.

An Lingrong slept uneasily that night and woke up many times, but when her eyes met the emperor beside her, she could only close her eyes and pretend to sleep again.

She was half asleep and half awake, and finally made it to dawn, but An Lingrong was tortured badly.

Now that Yongzheng stood up, An Lingrong also opened her eyes, but said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Your Majesty is awake? I will serve you right away!"

"No need, you are tired too, let the servants do this kind of work."

While summoning Su Peisheng, Yongzheng said to An Lingrong, "Rest well in the Yangxin Palace first. I will send someone to take you back when daybreak comes!"

After these words were spoken, Su Peisheng, who came after hearing the news, paused, but in his heart, he raised An Lingrong's position a lot higher.

According to the rules of the palace, unless the emperor gave special permission, concubines had to go back to where they came from after serving the emperor.

Although this Concubine An was sleeping with the emperor for the first time, she was not sent back to Suiyuxuan by the emperor. This shows that the emperor must be quite satisfied with her.

In Su Peisheng's opinion, he felt that from now on, An Lingrong might really become the "new upstart" in the palace!

On the other hand, An Lingrong was not surprised that Yongzheng gave her such an "honor".

She had planned carefully before in order to leave a certain presence on the emperor's side, so that when the card was called, it would enhance the effect.

If An Lingrong couldn't even stay in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, then she would be wasting her efforts.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Although she was not surprised, An Lingrong showed an expression of gratitude and surprise, and even wanted to stand up and salute the emperor.

"Alright, alright, lie down now!"

Yongzheng did not wait for An Lingrong to really get up, but pushed her back first, and then said to Su Peisheng who came up to help him put on his clothes: "Wait until dawn, send An Changzai back to the palace."

"Yes!" Su Peisheng agreed respectfully and kept his head down the whole time. His eyes did not even wander towards An Lingrong, but he strictly abided by the rules of serving the emperor.

Yongzheng paused for a moment, then said, "Take Curry's set of multicolored gemstone headpiece back to An Changzai as well!"

After saying this, Yongzheng was about to get up and prepare to attend the morning court.

But for some reason, the faint floral scent emanating from An Lingrong last night reappeared in his mind. His heart moved, and then he turned back to the room and whispered in An Lingrong's ear: "I'll come to see you tonight!"

"Yes……"

An Lingrong's voice was filled with weariness, but a faint smile appeared on her face, as if she was extremely happy.

This scene naturally made Yongzheng very satisfied, and then he left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a smile.

After Yongzheng and the others left, An Lingrong, who should have fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Although their eyes were bloodshot, there was no sign of sleepiness, but rather clarity!
