"Good things are coming..."

Zhen Huan was so stunned by An Lingrong's words that she even forgot what she was going to say.

After coming back to her senses, Zhen Huan's face instantly turned red, and then she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! If you are so frivolous, I will beat you up!"

"Sister, I'm not kidding you."

An Lingrong smiled and joked with Zhen Huan for a while, then said, "The Emperor has long been in love with you, so you know the reason why he has not turned over your name card until now. Now that you are recovering, there is no reason for the Emperor not to turn over your name card. Besides... it's time."

"Is it time?"

Zhen Huan was originally very shy because of An Lingrong's words, but after hearing this, her brows slightly frowned.

As perceptive as Zhen Huan was, she naturally sensed the unspoken meaning in An Lingrong's words and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Sister, looking at the six palaces, before this election, Concubine Hua was the only one who stood out. Concubine Duan claimed to be ill all year round and did not go out. Although Concubine Qi was pregnant with a prince, she was getting old and gradually lost favor. The rest of them can be said to have their own abilities, but they are all old people in the palace. The emperor maintains respect and affection for them and does not summon them often. That's why the queen mother advocated the selection of concubines."

An Lingrong first analyzed the situation in the six palaces with Zhen Huan one by one. Seeing that Zhen Huan seemed to be thinking about something, she continued, "Besides, during the New Year's Day, Concubine Hua lost her composure in public, which made the Emperor unhappy."

Therefore, whether it was to fulfill the Empress Dowager's wishes, to warn Concubine Hua, or to satisfy his own thoughts that he could not tell others, the Emperor now consciously transferred his favor to the new people in the harem.

The reason why An Lingrong was called upon by the emperor to sleep with him for several days in a row was not only because the emperor intended to pave the way for Zhen Huan to sleep with him later, but also because of the means that An Lingrong secretly used!

After all, she was a favorite concubine for a lifetime, and it was because of her own abilities, not because of any other reasons.

Therefore, An Lingrong naturally knew how to win over the emperor.

Just like using spices, it can make people's eyes bright and increase the sense of freshness, but it is not a long-term solution. Things like "love incense" are even worse methods. They should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary!

In addition to these "external objects", if you want to attract the emperor's attention and make him focus on you, you have to rely on more things.

Take Zhen Huan for example. Besides her resemblance to Queen Chun Yuan, what is more important is that Zhen Huan herself is well-versed in poetry and literature, understands righteousness, and is good at knowing when to advance and when to retreat!

Otherwise, even if she only has the beauty of Queen Chunyuan but lacks her talent, the emperor may be pleased with her, but the novelty will not last too long. Once the excitement wears off, she will eventually become a "vase" and be placed aside.

In her previous life, An Lingrong followed the Queen's instructions and tried to please the Emperor in every way she could, but she was only regarded as a "plaything" by him and was not freed until her death.

An Lingrong today will certainly not repeat the same mistakes, but many useful experiences can still be used as reference!

"If you use your beauty to please others, how long can it last..."

Zhen Huan was inevitably touched by An Lingrong's words, and she unconsciously recited poetry.

“That’s for other people.”

An Lingrong said: "Sister, you are well-educated and well-mannered. You are a lady from a noble family. Naturally, you don't rely on your looks to seduce people. As for the specifics, it's all up to you to decide. But I want to tell you that the road to the deep palace is not easy. Even if you just want to protect yourself, you should think twice before acting!"

"Yeah, how could I not understand this?"

Zhen Huan nodded slowly, then smiled at An Lingrong and said casually, "Okay, don't just focus on me, take care of your own body!"

Zhen Huan did have some complicated and unspeakable emotions in her heart, but after a long conversation with An Lingrong, she was able to vent them.

In addition, after being persuaded by An Lingrong, Zhen Huan immediately felt a sense of crisis in her heart!

The harem seems peaceful, but in fact there are undercurrents!

Zhen Huan had a premonition that if she made a wrong move, what would be waiting for her would be an abyss!

However, unlike before, Zhen Huan was not too afraid now. Instead, she was aroused by An Lingrong's words and felt very passionate!

"Oh, by the way, Sister Mei sent someone to tell me that she wanted to find a good time to invite us to Xianfu Palace. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Mei for many days since that banquet."

When Zhen Huan thought of Shen Meizhuang, who was also in the limelight, her face showed not only emotion but also a hint of worry.

Before this, they had always been unknown and had no sense of presence in the palace, while Shen Meizhuang and Noble Lady Fucha were the first to be favored.

The emperor seemed to want to cultivate Shen Meizhuang, and asked her to follow the queen to learn more about managing the affairs of the harem so that she could help the queen in the future. However, this move brought her hatred from Concubine Hua, who even made things difficult for Shen Meizhuang for a long time afterwards.

As a good sister, Zhen Huan was naturally anxious when she saw Shen Meizhuang being bullied.

"It's been snowing hard these past two days. Let's go visit Sister Mei on a sunny day!"

An Lingrong knew about the sisterhood between Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu, and she used to be envious and jealous of it. But now she is also one of them, so she has naturally let it go and expressed her ideas to Zhen Huan.

"That's the truth, of course."

Zhen Huan nodded, then talked to An Lingrong for a while, let her have a good rest, and she walked back slowly accompanied by Liu Zhu.

As soon as Zhen Huan left, Baojuan immediately returned to An Lingrong.

"My lord, it's getting late. Are you ready?"

In response to Baojuan's question, An Lingrong shook her head.

"No need. The emperor may not let me sleep with him today."

An Lingrong said calmly: "If there is really an order, it won't be too late for me to prepare."

After hearing this, Baojuan frowned slightly and was about to comfort An Lingrong not to be discouraged, but when she saw that An Chang did not look disappointed at all, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Yes……"

Baojuan believed that An Lingrong had her own ideas, so when faced with her rare expression of "lack of confidence", after some thought, she did not try to comfort her. She just agreed obediently and went about her business without saying a word.

The reason An Lingrong said this was certainly not because she had an inferiority complex and thought she was not worthy.

But relying on her understanding of the emperor, An Lingrong knew that Yongzheng's interest in her was about to come to an end.

At the same time, she had been called up for several days in a row, which must have made some people unable to hold back!

Sure enough, everything happened just as An Lingrong had expected. That night, everything in Shuiyuxuan was peaceful and calm.

There was no imperial decree from the Yangxin Palace, and she could finally sleep peacefully.

However, just as An Lingrong fell asleep peacefully, a storm broke out in the palace!
