An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Because Concubine Duan deliberately concealed the incident, and because Concubine Hua had given the order, no one dared to ask the imperial physician to come and treat the patient. So except for the emperor, the empress and the queen mother, no one else knew about the farce that took place in Yanqing Palace last night.

"After all, Concubine Hua went too far."

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she felt quite sympathetic towards Concubine Duan.

The incident back then was initiated by the emperor, and she also agreed with her son's point of view, and ultimately let Concubine Duan take the blame.

Whether from an emotional or logical point of view, the royal family was sorry to Concubine Duan in this matter.

So, when Yongzheng came to pay his respects to her, the Empress Dowager said this.

"What the Empress said is true."

Yongzheng also learned about Concubine Duan's experience from Su Peisheng's report. Seeing the Queen Mother's expression of pity, her face froze for a moment, and then she said, "My son will go to see Concubine Duan when he has time."

Concubine Duan was born into a Wu family. Her ancestors were founding fathers of the country, but the family is now in decline.

Yongzheng also had some true feelings for his first concubine.

Even though Concubine Duan is now old and no longer young, Yongzheng feels deeply guilty about what happened back then. However, he now needs the Nian family to maintain stability both internally and externally for the court, so he naturally cannot punish Nian Shilan too much.

"I know the emperor's dilemma, but Hua Fei is so domineering, in addition to her character, it is more or less related to the emperor's favor."

The Empress Dowager looked at Yongzheng and saw that he was silent, so she asked herself, "You said you would visit Concubine Duan when you are free. Can you visit once or twice a year?"

Without waiting for Yongzheng's answer, the Empress Dowager continued, "Of course, it's not that you don't want to go, but sometimes the Emperor can't help himself. I see all this and understand it."

"What does the Empress Dowager think we should do?"

Yongzheng remained silent and did not respond, also because he felt guilty.

The Queen Mother was right. The fact that Nian Shilan had become what he is now was naturally closely related to his indulgence.

After listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Yongzheng sensed that there was something else behind her words, so he decided to listen to what his mother had to say.

"I think it's not appropriate for the Emperor to meet Concubine Duan now."

The Queen Mother said, "The Emperor knows what Hua Fei is worried about. You should visit Duan Fei when you have time. If Hua Fei finds out, there will definitely be trouble. So, if the Emperor really wants to be good to Duan Fei, it is better to control Hua Fei."

The empress dowager looked at the emperor's embarrassment because of her words, and she was also trying to save face for her son.

According to the Empress Dowager's understanding of Yongzheng, if she did not intervene, Yongzheng would probably soon restore Hua Fei's authority to assist in managing the six palaces.

Of course, the Queen Mother did not want to see this.

It just so happened that last night, Concubine Hua couldn't bear to be lonely again, so she went to find Concubine Duan and made a big fuss.

The Queen Mother is now using this incident to "bargain" with the Emperor.

She knew that given the emperor's temper, if it weren't for Concubine Hua's behavior yesterday, Yongzheng would not have listened even if she said so.

As an emperor, he has the final say. If others interfere in his affairs, it is hard to guarantee that he will not arouse rebellion in his heart.

But now the situation is different. First, Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage for some reason, and then Concubine Hua did not know her limits. She was released just as she started making trouble again.

The Empress Dowager wanted to let the Emperor know that Concubine Hua was not a person who would be content with her lot. Even if the Emperor wanted to favor her, he had to restrain himself, otherwise he would be the one to worry about it in the future.

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true. I also think that Concubine Hua's temper needs to be tempered. For the time being, I will not consider restoring her power to assist in managing the six palaces."

Sure enough, after hearing what the empress dowager said, Yongzheng began to waver in his heart and believed that it would be impossible to restore Hua Fei's power in a short period of time.

Just imagine, Concubine Hua has not yet been restored to her power to assist in managing the six palaces, but she is already so arrogant.

If Concubine Hua's power is restored, won't it become even worse than before?

"The Queen is not in good health right now. Although Hua Fei was able to help her in the past, she often did what she wanted, which made the Queen worry a lot."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said slowly, "Now that Concubine Fucha is in trouble and the Queen is busy with this, I think it would be better to let Concubine Shen assist the Queen. It just so happens that the Emperor originally had this intention, and she has been studying palace affairs for some time. What do you think?"

The Queen Mother is optimistic about Shen Meizhuang and also hopes to have more helpers for the Queen.

This is a great opportunity, and the Queen Mother will naturally not let it go.

"Your Majesty has thought it through carefully, and I think it is very appropriate."

Yongzheng also admired Shen Meizhuang and felt that there were very few women with the same talent and pride as her.

So, after some thought, he agreed to the Queen Mother's arrangement.

……

"What? Sister Mei is going to assist in managing the Six Palaces?"

In Xianfu Palace, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong's eyes widened when they heard the news.

However, Zhen Huan was simply happy for her sister, while An Lingrong felt that there might be something fishy going on.

"It is the Queen Mother's order."

Shen Meizhuang smiled reservedly, and then corrected herself: "But I am not the assistant in charge of the six palaces. I just help the Queen deal with some trivial matters."

"That being said, looking at the entire Six Palaces, you are the only one who can have this honor!"

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhen Huan spoke more casually, with a bright smile on her face, "That's great! With Sister Mei's talent, she will definitely be able to make further progress with this!"

Shen Meizhuang is now a noble lady. If she takes one step further, she will become a concubine and can be the mistress of a palace!

In Zhen Huan's view, with Shen Meizhuang's ability and favor, it would be easy for her to become a concubine!

"In that case, congratulations to Sister Mei first."

An Lingrong agreed with a smile, but she saw that Shen Meizhuang's smile was a bit forced, and she showed a faint sadness, as if she was worried about something, so she asked: "Sister Mei, are you worried about Concubine Hua?"

"yes……"

Shen Meizhuang did not shy away from admitting her concerns by nodding her head.

Concubine Hua would never tolerate others taking away her favor, and now she has been named by the Queen Mother to assist the Empress. In Concubine Hua's eyes, this would probably be considered as an attempt to divide power!

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about facing Concubine Hua in the future.

"Don't panic, sister. Since it is the Queen Mother's order, can Concubine Hua still question it?"

Zhen Huan said: "Besides, sister is assisting the queen in managing the six palaces. The queen will definitely protect sister."

"hope so."

Shen Meizhuang sighed and changed the subject, "By the way, should we go visit Noble Lady Fucha? She lost her child suddenly, it's really pitiful!"

Shen Meizhuang's words were immediately responded to by An Lingrong and Zhen Huan.

An Lingrong said, "Consort Xin also sent a maid to look for us earlier, saying that she wanted to arrange to go visit Noble Lady Fucha together. Since Sister Mei has this intention, why don't we go together?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Meizhuang readily agreed.

The three people who reached a consensus decided to go find Concubine Xin first, and then go to the Yanx Palace together to visit Concubine Fucha.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Queen suddenly sent Jianqiu to visit and directly called Shen Meizhuang away.

"Why... so suddenly?"

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other and both felt something was wrong.

Normally, the Queen would not easily send someone to summon concubines to Jingren Palace.

Unless—something happens again!
