"Not only that, even Lady Miaoyin was promoted to a higher position. She is now a concubine and has been moved to Xianfu Palace..."

While Shen Meizhuang told An Lingrong and others the details of the Empress Dowager's decree to lift Concubine Hua's house arrest, she also broke the news that Yu Ying'er had been promoted by the Emperor.

These two events happened so closely that they could almost be said to have happened one after the other.

The reason why Shen Meizhuang showed such obvious anxiety was naturally because it was obvious that Yu was Hua Fei's person and had relied on Hua Fei to get to the top.

Now that Concubine Hua has been released from house arrest and is on the verge of making a comeback, the Emperor has also given respect to Concubine Yu at this time, intending to promote her and advance her position. The wind direction in the palace will change drastically in the future!

In addition, there were only her and Jingpin living in Xianfu Palace. The other party was a very easy-going person. They lived together in peace, and Shen Meizhuang did not have to worry about daily trivial matters.

But according to rumors from outside, the "Madam Miaoyin" who was born as a palace maid had an extremely arrogant temper. Once she was favored, she no longer took the palace maids who served her seriously and would often beat, scold and humiliate them.

With such a being placed next to her, Shen Meizhuang felt that her days ahead would not be peaceful!

She knew that Concubine Hua had always disliked her. Previously, when the Queen asked her and Noble Lady Fucha to learn about palace affairs, it caused a strong reaction from Concubine Hua. She would call them over to reprimand them every now and then, and even gave them a nice name, calling it "teaching."

"Right now, Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant with a dragon descendant. Even if Concubine Hua finds her annoying, she has to tolerate Noble Lady Fucha. She is not someone who will swallow her anger. I'm afraid she will vent her anger on others in the future!"

Shen Meizhuang expressed her thoughts, leaving An Lingrong and Zhen Huan speechless.

What Shen Meizhuang said was all true, and it was not her subjective conjecture, but something that was about to happen.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were both well aware of this.

After a moment of silence, Zhen Huan took the lead in comforting Shen Meizhuang, "Sister, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Even if...she really wants to cause trouble for us, it won't be that easy. Lingrong and I will help each other. As long as we are united, we can always get through it!"

Although Zhen Huan was comforting Shen Meizhuang, she was also cheering herself up.

Everyone has seen how powerful Concubine Hua was in the palace before.

During his heyday, he even looked down on the empress, let alone the other concubines.

But now Shen Meizhuang was obviously very worried about her future situation, so Zhen Huan could only suppress her uneasiness, act confidently, and comfort her sisters in a kind voice.

"Sister Huan is right."

An Lingrong also said at this time: "Even if he is released from confinement because of the Queen Mother's decree, if he does not mend his ways, he will soon return to his old ways. As long as we do not make mistakes and do not overstep the boundaries, we are of the same blood and have nothing to fear."

Just after listening to Shen Meizhuang's words, An Lingrong was also thinking quickly in her mind.

Hua Fei had been under house arrest for only a few days, and was suddenly released so soon. However, it was not an imperial decree issued by the emperor, but a gift from the empress dowager. It can be seen that there are many doubts behind this!

After much thought, An Lingrong felt that Hua Fei's return to favor this time was probably related to the power of the Nian family!

This is the only possibility that the emperor would choose to avoid suspicion!

As for praising Yu Ying'er?

Then it is more likely that it was done for Concubine Hua to see!

An Lingrong still remembered that in her previous life, the emperor also favored Song Zhi, who was by Concubine Hua's side, for a while, and at that time he even made her a concubine.

But in fact, this was just to confuse Concubine Hua. After the Nian family fell, Concubine Hua was also liquidated because of Cao Qinmo's defection, and "Zhi Da Ying" was turned back into a palace maid.

From this perspective, although Yu Ying'er, who no longer has the blessing of "Nifeng Rujieyi", still got the title of "Miaoyin Lady", what is the difference between her and "Zhi Daying"?

"Huan'er..."

When Shen Meizhuang heard what Zhen Huan said, and saw An Lingrong also said the same thing, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded.

"Alright, alright, Sister Mei, we still have to pay our respects to the Queen Mother. If we go in like this, I'm afraid it won't be good!"

Zhen Huan saw that Shen Meizhuang was finally comforted by her, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Zhen Huan signaled to Shen Meizhuang that she should adjust her emotions and expressions, otherwise when she turned around to see the Queen Mother, she would be hard to explain if she let her know.

"I know." Shen Meizhuang nodded seriously, and then took a few deep breaths, finally adjusting her state.

"The three young masters are here!"

At the same time, Sun Zhuxi also appeared in front of the three of them, and led them into Shoukang Palace with a smile.

When An Lingrong saw Sun Zhuxi come out at such a "just in time", she guessed that this Aunt Sun must have arrived nearby very early.

But they were comforting Shen Meizhuang before, so Sun Zhuxi naturally couldn't come out.

As for whether Sun Zhuxi was eavesdropping on them and would tell the empress dowager what they were talking about, An Lingrong was not too worried.

Their words and actions showed their worry about Concubine Hua's resurrection, but they did not have the slightest intention of resentment towards the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

Even if Sun Zhuxi was watching from the side because of the Queen Mother's order, just based on this sentence, perhaps there is no evidence that can affect them.

Everything happened just as An Lingrong had expected, and the Queen Mother didn't seem surprised at all that they were late.

After paying their respects to the Queen Mother, she took Shen Meizhuang's hand, asked them to sit closer, and then started talking about family matters.

Since the Queen Mother did not take the initiative to mention anything about Concubine Hua, An Lingrong and the others naturally would not bring up anything that was irrelevant.

Anyway, according to the Queen Mother's words, as long as we can make this person happy, that's better than anything else!

"You three are always good at making me laugh."

Among the three people including An Lingrong, the one the Queen Mother favored the most was naturally Shen Meizhuang. At this moment, her eyes were curved with laughter because of the three people's jokes.

It’s no wonder that the Queen Mother likes Shen Meizhuang. After all, Shen Meizhuang is pretty and has a good family background. More importantly, she is very sensible.

The last point is the most critical and particularly important.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager had often mentioned Shen Meizhuang's merits to the Emperor before.

At this time, the Queen Mother said again: "Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant, I am happy, but you three have to hurry up and catch up!"

Because including Zhen Huan, they have all been chosen by the emperor.

Right now, the Queen Mother hopes to hear more good news.

"Queen Mother..."

After hearing this, everyone naturally became shy, which inevitably led to a round of teasing from the Queen Mother.

Just when the atmosphere was full of joy, Sun Zhuxi walked in from outside and said to the Queen Mother, "Your Highness, Concubine Hua is here, and she brought Madam Miaoyin with her. She said she wanted to pay her respects to the Queen Mother!"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on the Queen Mother's face faded immediately, her brows slightly frowned, and she turned to An Lingrong and the other two people surrounding her and said, "Forget it, you guys just go to the back first."
