An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"This is Aunt Sun who is beside the Queen Mother!"

Shen Meizhuang was the first to notice Sun Zhuxi coming out of Shoukang Palace, and immediately introduced her to An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, and then said, "Aunt Sun, this is Wan Changzai and An Changzai from Suiyuxuan. They copied two volumes of Buddhist scriptures a few days ago and wanted to pay their respects to the Queen Mother and then present the scriptures to her."

Zhen Huan also felt that Aunt Sun was looking at her with a complicated gaze. She was not unfamiliar with this kind of gaze, because the emperor, the queen, and even Cui Jinxi had all looked at her with this kind of gaze before.

"Hello, Aunt Sun!"

An Lingrong knew that Sun Zhuxi was the Queen Mother's confidant, but she gave Zhen Huan a hint with her eyes and bowed slightly to Sun Zhuxi.

Zhen Huan came back to her senses and, like An Lingrong, gestured to Sun Zhuxi.

"You are welcome, young masters."

Sun Zhuxi's voice sounded old, but it had a deep feeling that made people feel at ease when they heard it.

She first bowed to Shen Meizhuang and the other two, and then said, "The Queen Mother has just taken medicine and is about to rest. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the three young ladies to pay their respects at this time."

Having said that, Sun Zhuxi glanced at Shen Meizhuang.

This noble lady Shen could be said to be a frequent visitor to Shoukang Palace. Because of her calm character and generous behavior, she was quite favored by the empress dowager.

Recently, the Queen Mother has been feeling unwell, and it was Shen Meizhuang who came to serve her and give her medicine.

However, not only did Shen Meizhuang arrive late today, she also brought two more people with her, one of whom was the "renowned" Concubine Wan. This made Sun Zhuxi realize that Shen Meizhuang had other intentions.

"Of course we can't disturb the Queen Mother's rest, so let's wait outside!"

Shen Meizhuang wanted to bring An Lingrong and the other two to the Queen Mother so that they could become familiar to her. If they could please the Queen Mother, their future life in the palace would be smoother.

Therefore, even though she heard the hint in Sun Zhuxi's words, Shen Meizhuang still didn't want to give up.

"Well...then please ask the three young ladies to wait in the side hall!"

Sun Zhuxi hesitated for a moment, then thought that there had indeed been unrest in the palace recently, and that the empress dowager treated Shen Meiyu differently. Since she insisted so much, he might as well let her stay first and then ask the empress dowager whether she wanted to summon her.

"Thank you, Aunt Sun!"

Upon hearing Sun Zhuxi's relief, Shen Meizhuang felt relieved. A bright smile immediately appeared on her face, and she kept thanking Sun Zhuxi.

Although the other party was just an old maid in the palace, Shen Meizhuang knew that an old woman like Sun Zhuxi, who had accompanied the empress dowager for decades, naturally had a status in her heart that was difficult to match by ordinary servants.

Therefore, as long as Sun Zhuxi is willing to let himself and others in, it means they will have the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother, and this trip will not be in vain!

"Lady Shen, there is no need to be polite to this old servant." Sun Zhuxi smiled and respectfully led the three people to the side hall of Shoukang Palace, and then asked a young palace maid to serve tea to them.

"Sister Mei, I don't know why, but I always feel so panicky..."

Zhen Huan held a cup of tea in her hand and drank most of it in one breath, but she was still shaking slightly.

"After all, you will be meeting the Queen Mother soon, so it is normal for you to be timid." Shen Meizhuang consoled her, and seeing that An Lingrong looked normal, she paused and said, "Lingrong, you don't have to feel any burden."

"Thank you, Sister Mei."

An Lingrong nodded, echoed Shen Meiyu's words, and together they comforted Zhen Huan.

She knew that Shen Meizhuang was only offering comfort as a passing remark. After all, her face did not show any worry. In comparison, Zhen Huan needed comforting even more.

And An Lingrong did not feel any psychological pressure because she was about to meet the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother didn't like her very much in her previous life, An Lingrong had been in the palace for so many years that she naturally knew how to show her good side in front of her. Even if she couldn't win the Queen Mother's favor, at least she wouldn't make her unhappy.

……

In the main hall of Shoukang Palace, a woman was half lying on the bed with her eyes slightly closed.

At this moment, another figure pushed the door open and walked in, and then said respectfully: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shen is here."

As soon as Sun Zhuxi finished speaking, the woman who had been resting with her eyes closed slowly opened her eyes.

"Since you're here, why don't you bring her in?"

Although she kept claiming to be sick, the Queen Mother's voice did not sound weak.

Sun Zhuxi lowered his eyes and replied, "Noble Lady Shen did not come alone this time. She also brought two young ladies with her. She said she wanted to pay her respects to the Queen Mother."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face did not fluctuate at all, she just said: "Zhu Xi, do you know what happened in Jingren Palace?"

Sun Zhuxi said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have also heard that the Emperor seems to have lost his temper."

Although the incident happened not long ago, there is always a wall in the world that is impenetrable, and this is especially true in this palace.

As soon as something happened in Jingren Palace, the Emperor received the notification and the Empress Dowager also received the news.

As the empress dowager's confidant for many years, Sun Zhuxi naturally understood the meaning of her question.

"Alas, Concubine Hua really went too far."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and changed the subject, "Where are they?"

"Replying to the Queen Mother, I heard that you are resting. Lady Shen and the others naturally dare not disturb you, but they still want to pay their respects to you."

"In that case, let them in. I also want to see what kind of person the emperor is so obsessed with."

It was impossible to tell whether the Queen Mother was happy or angry in her voice, but Sun Zhuxi immediately understood what she meant.

Originally, the Empress Dowager regarded Zhen as a "hidden danger", so she tried to eliminate her during the palace selection. However, she could not resist the Emperor's rare interest in her, so she had to give in to the Emperor's wishes.

But after that, the Queen Mother simply ignored Zhen Huan.

Now, Shen Meizhuang and the other two have come to pay their respects, and the Queen Mother is planning to summon them. I guess she wants to honor them!

Thinking of this, Sun Zhuxi did not dare to be careless and hurried to find Shen Meizhuang and the others.

……

"I, your concubines, pay my respects to the Queen Mother! I wish you good health and happiness!"

Led by Sun Zhuxi, An Lingrong and the other two slowly walked into the main hall of Shoukang Palace. After entering the inner room, they saw the empress dowager lying on the bed.

As An Lingrong saluted, she was also observing the current Holy Mother Empress Dowager out of the corner of her eye.

An Lingrong didn't have much impression of the Empress Dowager.

In her previous life, except for the rare festivals when everyone would come to pay homage to the empress dowager, she usually lived in seclusion in Shoukang Palace. Apart from the emperor and empress, only those who were favored by her, like Shen Meizhuang, could often visit her.

Compared to the appearance in An Lingrong's memory, the empress dowager at this moment was undoubtedly much younger and her complexion was more rosy.

An Lingrong knew that the Empress Dowager was from the Uya clan and had originally been the Virtuous Consort of the late Emperor Shengzu. Later, with the ascension of Yongzheng to the throne, she naturally became the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

Whether it is the long-deceased Empress Chunyuan, or the current Empress Ulanara, they are all cousins ​​of the Empress Dowager Uya!

Therefore, the Queen Mother chose to meet with me and others today, I am afraid that the Queen will be "uneasy" again!

"No gift."

The Queen Mother's voice came faintly, and then she said to Shen Meizhuang: "Why did you come so late today? I have already taken the medicine, and you just came. Don't you think it's troublesome to serve an old woman like me?"

When the Queen Mother said this, An Lingrong and the other two who had just stood up had their eyelids jump, and they knelt down again in an instant!
