For several days in a row, Yongzheng kept turning over An Lingrong's nameplate.

This resulted in An Lingrong being sent back to Sui Yuxuan early in the morning, and she had no time to rest before she had to dress up and go to Jingren Palace to pay a visit to the Queen. After finally completing the morning meeting, An Lingrong had no time to say a few words to Zhen Huan after returning, and she had to hurry up to rest.

Although at the beginning, the Queen did not take An Lingrong's mistakeless performance in her emperor's bedchamber to heart, when she found out that the Emperor had summoned An Lingrong for several days in a row, it was difficult for her not to have other thoughts in her mind.

"My lady..."

When Jianqiu walked in from outside, she saw the queen staring at the snow falling by the window, lost in thought. She sighed inwardly and then brought a cup of hot tea, "It's cold, your majesty, drink more hot tea to warm yourself up!"

"Recently, Jingren Palace has been as cold as an ice cellar. How can it be warmed up by drinking some tea?"

The queen had no intention of drinking tea, so Jianqiu could only put the cup on the table beside her.

After hesitating for a moment, Jianqiu asked cautiously, "Are you worried about An Changzai, Your Majesty?"

"Trouble? Haha, I have nothing to worry about!"

The Queen snorted coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "This person was originally recommended by me. Now he is favored by the Emperor and has been favored for days. This is his own good fortune and also An Changzai's own blessing!"

That was true, but the queen had a gloomy face and was obviously extremely unhappy.

"But... An Chang has been here for several days in a row. This is a bit too much!"

Jianqiu saw the queen's expression and understood that she was distressed, but she couldn't say it, so she spoke for the queen on her behalf.

"If the emperor wants to favor her, what else can others do?"

The queen glanced at Jianqiu, and then suddenly laughed, "Besides, this is not all bad!"

According to the Queen's original plan, she wanted An Lingrong to lose her composure while serving the Emperor in bed, so that the Emperor would send her back intact, and then she would come forward to comfort her in order to win over her hearts.

However, this matter did not go as the Queen's plan. Not only did nothing go wrong when An Lingrong slept with the Emperor, but she was even able to make the Emperor linger on her for just a few days. This naturally made the Queen unhappy.

But looking at it from another angle, the queen knew that there were many people in the palace who were more unhappy and anxious than herself.

"What does the lady mean?"

Jianqiu heard the queen's hidden meaning and immediately showed hesitation.

"Back then, since she first entered the palace, Concubine Hua has always been the favorite, and this has not changed even after she entered the palace. Now that someone like An Changzai has suddenly appeared, do you think Concubine Hua will not be angry?"

The queen picked up the white jade teacup beside her and used the covered bowl to stir the tea leaves in the cup. Seeing the tea leaves stretching in the water, her smile became even wider. She said faintly, "So you don't have to do anything, just watch!"

Given Hua Fei's personality, she would never tolerate this.

This also means that An Lingrong’s “good days” are almost over!

If Concubine Hua takes action against An Lingrong, regardless of whether the Emperor will come forward to protect her, the Queen can take this opportunity to show goodwill to An Lingrong!

"Your Majesty is right!"

Jianqiu immediately understood the Queen's plan and nodded.

Indeed, as the Queen said, when someone else becomes favored, no matter who it is, the first person to be affected is Concubine Hua!

Therefore, in this matter, the most anxious person is naturally Concubine Hua!

Moreover, Jianqiu thought privately that now it was Concubine An who had won the emperor's favor, which was better than Concubine Wan in any way!

"Okay, you go down, I will be alone for a while."

The queen never drank the tea and instead asked Jianqiu to leave.

When she was the only one left in the room, the calm look on the queen's face gradually faded, replaced by a look of deep thought and bitterness.

……

"Sister, are you feeling better?"

In the west hall of Sui Yuxuan, An Lingrong had just woken up from a nap and changed her clothes when she saw a figure outside the window, and then Zhen Huan's voice came from outside.

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan coming to her house, she was not too surprised and immediately opened the door to greet her.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now."

An Lingrong smiled at Zhen Huan, invited her into the palace, and then called Baojuan to boil water and make tea.

It was cold today, and the heating in Sui Yuxuan was good, and there was a charcoal fire burning on weekdays, so the room was naturally warm. But outside it was snowing heavily, and even if she just walked a few steps, Zhen Huan's hands and face would be frozen red.

An Lingrong asked Zhen Huan to sit on the warm kang and then served her tea personally.

"I'm glad my sister is okay."

An Lingrong took a sip of tea first, then glanced at Liu Zhu, who immediately understood what she meant and walked out first.

"Baojuan, you should stay outside too."

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan's actions, she instantly understood that she came here to talk to her about something else, otherwise she would not have deliberately sent Liu Zhu away in front of her.

Since Liuzhu has already left, Baojuan certainly can't stay.

"Yes!"

Although Baojuan was very unwilling, she did not dare to disobey An Lingrong's orders.

When An Lingrong was not yet in favor, Baojuan was forced to behave herself by a series of beatings and bullying, not to mention that she was in the emperor's favor at the moment!

"Oh, sister, I don't know what to say..."

Zhen Huan witnessed all this, and the complexity in her eyes became even more intense.

To be fair, An Lingrong's sudden rise to favor not only attracted the attention of the six palaces, but also caused everyone in Sui Yuxuan to have complicated feelings.

People like Chun'er are naturally extremely envious and jealous of this, but they cannot replace An Lingrong. However, due to her age, Chun'er is destined not to be called up in the short term, and even if she wants to compete for favor, she is powerless.

Zhen Huan was naturally happy for An Lingrong, but while she was happy, she also had some complicated feelings in her heart.

Zhen Huan is not blind. When she went to pay her respects to the Queen these days, the concubines seemed to be friendly to An Lingrong on the surface, but in fact, they were so jealous that they wanted to burn An Lingrong into ashes!

Although An Lingrong is very popular now, she is also like being placed on charcoal fire. It looks vigorous, but if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the flames!

So, Zhen Huan was also worried about this.

While she was worried about An Lingrong's situation, it was impossible to say that she didn't have any strange emotions at all.

No one is perfect!

Even though Zhen Huan had never thought about winning the emperor's favor before, and even felt anxious about her appearance, once the people around her suddenly became successful while she was left unknown, the gap between the two naturally touched Zhen Huan's heart.

"Lingrong knows very well how worried my sister is about me."

An Lingrong took the initiative to speak, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere, and then said to Zhen Huan bluntly: "But please don't mind, sister, because you are also about to get married!"
