"Thank you, aunt."

An Lingrong nodded slightly to Cui Jinxi to express her gratitude, and then followed her into the main hall.

In the main hall, Zhen Huan had already finished washing and dressing, and was now sitting on the main seat, with a maid standing beside her, naturally Liu Zhu and Huan Bi.

"Jinxi, go and close the door, and don't let anyone disturb us."

Seeing An Lingrong coming, Zhen Huan first gave Cui Jinxi a look, signaling her to go out and close the door.

"Yes." Cui Jinxi took the order and left. While closing the two carved doors, she also stood guard at the door to prevent outsiders from approaching.

"elder sister."

An Lingrong bowed to Zhen Huan.

"Sister, please sit down first." Zhen Huan nodded and signaled Liu Zhu to serve tea to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong sat beside Zhen Huan, took the teacup, took a sip, and saw Zhen Huan's complicated expression through the steam. She already knew why she came to ask her questions, so she smiled and said, "Sister, you got up so early, who disturbed your peace?"

"You didn't sleep well all night, did you?"

Zhen Huan asked back, and then said directly without hiding anything: "Is Baojuan not serving you properly? Or has something happened?"

When asked twice in a row, Zhen Huan's tone always attributed the fact that Baojuan was punished to kneel to herself.

His tone revealed not only trust in An Lingrong, but also concern.

This is because Zhen Huan thought she understood An Lingrong's character. If she spoke in a tone of accusation from the beginning, An Lingrong would probably be dissatisfied no matter what the result was.

It would be better to express your trust in An Lingrong first, then slowly ask for the truth, and finally make a decision.

Looking at the obvious blue circles under An Lingrong's eyes, Zhen Huan also thought that An Lingrong must have not slept all night.

Little did they know that this was actually just the effect created by An Lingrong using some makeup techniques.

An Lingrong didn't take Baojuan to heart. After sending her away, she settled down early and didn't have any sleepless nights.

However, she was sure that Baojuan would not give up and the matter would be known to everyone the next day, so she naturally had to make some preparations first.

"Sister, I am so ashamed when you say that!"

An Lingrong suddenly picked up the teacup and drank half a cup of water in one go. Then she put the teacup down and said bitterly, "I originally thought that since I have entered the palace, I should stay here honestly, not overstepping the boundaries, so as not to bring myself trouble. But the palace gates are like the sea, and it is really hard to predict..."

"what happened?"

Zhen Huan was frightened by An Lingrong's tone. Fortunately, besides herself and An Lingrong, there were only Liu Zhu and Huan Bi in the main hall. Both of them were her personal maids. They grew up together and were naturally very loyal to her.

If there were outsiders present and if An Lingrong's words were spread out, it would probably really bring disaster!

"Alas, I didn't want to punish the maids around me as soon as I entered the palace. It's really that Baojuan is really too much!"

Seeing Zhen Huan's puzzled expression, An Lingrong explained, "Yesterday I came to see my sister, and Chun Changzai also came in the afternoon. Then the three of us stayed until nightfall before we dispersed. I never thought that as soon as I returned to the West Side Hall, Baojuan pretended to care about me and provoked me with words, saying some extremely unpleasant and unbearable words."

Having said this, An Lingrong paused to give Zhen Huan time to digest it.

After hearing these words, Zhen Huan was indeed stunned.

She originally thought that Baojuan was punished to kneel for a night because she served An Lingrong inappropriately, which angered An Lingrong.

However, based on her daily understanding of An Lingrong, Zhen Huan thought that An Lingrong would not do such a thing.

Who knew that after asking so much, in the end, this question would actually be asked back at me!

It just so happened that she was so busy chatting with Concubine Chun yesterday that she really ignored An Lingrong. Now Zhen Huan felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Sister, I have no other intention in telling you this. I just hope you can understand that I will not take such a small matter to heart. And the villain who tries to use this to sow discord between us sisters is even more despicable!"

When An Lingrong saw Zhen Huan was silent, she understood her embarrassment and offered her a way out.

"Of course I understand. With my sister's docile character, she would never punish the palace maids around her for no reason."

Zhen Huan praised An Lingrong for a few words, and then changed the subject and asked, "What do you think, sister?"

Since Baojuan was able to secretly sow discord between them, Zhen Huan felt that such a servant should not be kept by her side, otherwise there was no guarantee that she would cause trouble in the future!

But after all, she was An Lingrong's person, and she couldn't interfere in her duties. In addition, An Lingrong was different from herself and did not bring any personal maid from outside the palace. Baojuan was the only palace maid serving her, which made Zhen Huan feel troubled.

"Baojuan's heart was not right, and she said nonsense, so I drove her out of the palace and asked her to reflect on her mistakes outside. I didn't see her when I came here just now, so I guess my sister must have made arrangements."

Seeing Zhen Huan nod in agreement, An Lingrong said, "In my opinion, we have just entered the palace, so it is not appropriate to cause any trouble."

"It is better to have less trouble than more trouble."

Zhen Huan also agreed with An Lingrong's words, and then said: "Baojuan is confused, but no one is perfect. Why not give her a chance? If she doesn't serve you wholeheartedly in the future, send her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Then I'll follow my sister's advice."

An Lingrong had never intended to take this opportunity to get rid of Baojuan from her side, so there was no reason for her to disagree with Zhen Huan's suggestion.

Zhen Huan was also very satisfied with An Lingrong's attitude. She immediately pulled her aside to talk a few more intimate words to enhance the sisterly relationship. Then she said, "Today is the day for the whole palace to pay respect to the Queen. I heard that Sister Mei was made a noble lady. It's a pity that she lives in Xianfu Palace, which is quite far from us. It's a good opportunity to meet her today!"

"Yes."

An Lingrong also knew that she would have to pay a visit to the Queen today, and if nothing unexpected happened, Concubine Hua would definitely fight with the Queen again in public.

That was a good show!

However, since I am not living in the Yanx Palace this time, I don’t know if Xia Dongchun will still be so arrogant and look down on everyone?

"My Lord, it's almost time."

Just as Zhen Huan and An Lingrong finished their conversation, Cui Jinxi outside heard their voices gradually stop, so she knocked on the door to remind Zhen Huan that she had to set off to meet the Queen.

It's not far from Suiyuxuan to Jingren Palace where the queen lives, so it would be more reassuring if you set out early.

"Yeah, coming right away."

Zhen Huan replied to Cui Jinxi's words, and then reached out to help An Lingrong tidy up her hair. Seeing that she was dressed very beautifully, she couldn't help but smile, "Sister, you are really more beautiful than before."

"Sister is as beautiful as a flower. Standing next to her, I look like a green leaf!"

An Lingrong smiled and replied, then said: "But with flowers and leaves accompanying each other, it seems a little incomplete without either of them."

"Oh, my sister is starting to become smooth-talking!"

These words made Zhen Huan's smile deepen. After a joke, they walked out of the main hall of Sui Yuxuan with the support of Liu Zhu and Huan Bi. Chun Changzai and two young palace maids were already waiting outside.

The three of them smiled at each other, then walked out of Suiyuxuan with their heads held high.
