An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy
Chapter 39: Enough Steps
"You are a kind-hearted person. I will listen to you." Concubine Duan held An Lingrong's hand tightly and showed a warm smile. An Lingrong knew that the person in front of her belonged to her.
"Are you tired, Your Majesty? Lingrong will go back first. Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. If you have any problems, please let Jixiang come to me." Concubine Duan looked tired. An Lingrong just came over to take a look and did not disturb her anymore. She and Jixiang helped Concubine Duan onto the bed.
"Well, don't worry, I will bother you in the future." Concubine Duan lay on the bed and spoke with a faint smile. An Lingrong also showed a helpless smile. The two looked at each other and smiled, but Jixiang's eyes were red.
The Empress had been persecuted by Concubine Hua for many years, and no one in the harem dared to step into the door of Yanqing Palace. Not to mention the Empress, even I once thought that it would be a relief to drink a bowl of poison.
But the Queen cannot die. There is the General's Mansion behind her. For the sake of the General's Mansion, the Queen can only hold on like this and dare not breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, now, someone is finally willing to step in here and advise the queen to be at ease. There is finally some hope for the future...
*
Zhen Huan was promoted to noble lady even though she was out of favor. All the concubines in the harem were very dissatisfied, except for one person, and that was the queen.
The queen still had a faint smile on her face every day, and her mood was visibly much better than before, as if something she had been looking forward to for a long time had finally come true.
"Noble Lady Wan will be favored soon, and the harem will have another sister as beautiful as a flower. I heard that Noble Lady Wan is very talented and the emperor likes her very much. I am also happy." The queen smiled slightly, but looked at Concubine Hua.
"The Empress is kind and Concubine Wan is beautiful. She was promoted without any favor, which is unique in the harem. I just don't know what her character is like and whether she deserves the Empress' praise." Concubine Qi spoke without hesitation, but was glared at by the Empress. She shrank back in an instant.
"No flower stays red for a hundred days, and it is rare for beauty to serve a man for a long time. There is no one in the harem who is not beautiful. As for talent, the Queen's talent is unique."
Hua Fei looked at the Queen meaningfully and continued:
"It seems that no matter how good-looking or talented you are, if you can win the emperor's favor, that's real ability."
After Hua Fei finished speaking, none of the concubines dared to look at the Queen. They all shouted in their hearts that Hua Fei was really brave!
After hearing this, the queen just smiled faintly and said nothing more.
"Alas, I am old after all. I feel a little tired after talking for a while. If the Queen has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
Concubine Hua stood up and spoke, bowing slightly to the Queen. Without waiting for the Queen's permission, she helped Songzhi leave Jingren Palace.
After Concubine Hua left, the smile on the Queen's face disappeared instantly, and it was obvious that she was trying very hard to keep it together. The Queen waved her hand, and the concubines bowed and saw her off respectfully. Then the Queen returned to the inner hall.
An Lingrong looked at the Queen's back and felt very happy. After all, secretly criticizing her was not as satisfying as scolding her openly. One day, she would also scold her happily.
After this incident, the Queen reported that she was ill and excused us from visiting her every morning and evening for a few days. I guess she was seriously injured this time...
The concubines in the harem were happy and at ease because they didn't have to get up early to pay their respects. The emperor hadn't summoned anyone these days, probably because of Zhen Huan, which made Concubine Hua very angry. She heard that Concubine Cao had gone to the Yikun Palace early to serve for several days in a row.
An Lingrong had a lot of free time. She studied spice recipes and read miscellaneous notes in Zhenshunzhai every day, and felt fulfilled and comfortable.
More than a month later, Zhen Huan was granted a bath in Tangquan Palace. On the night she was favored, many people in the harem must have had sleepless nights. Concubine Hua didn't know about it, but the Queen must have had to stay awake until dawn!
And An Lingrong slept very well that night!
The stone in her heart fell to the ground, and from then on, she and Zhen Huan could only compete with each other.
Early the next morning, Shen Meizhuang came to Zhenshunzhai. An Lingrong saw that she looked the same as in her previous life, with a dark circle under her eyes. This was the strongest evidence that she did not sleep well last night.
You see, people are like this. When the other person is not as good as themselves, they will take everything into consideration. Once they surpass themselves, the bitterness and dissatisfaction in their hearts will fill their entire hearts.
"Sister, why are you here so early?" After welcoming Shen Meizhuang in and Ju Qing serving her tea, An Lingrong spoke with a smile.
"I was going to pay my respects to the Queen, but she was not feeling well and said there was no need to pay my respects, so I came to see you." Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, took a sip of tea and said:
"What kind of tea did you mix? It's so sweet and refreshing!"
"I was bored a few days ago, so I made some cold fragrant tea. I didn't expect that sister would like it. Juqing, go and pack some and let sister Mei take it away later." An Lingrong instructed Juqing, and Juqing took Caiyue to get the tea.
"How can you be like me? Not only do I come to eat, I also take it away." Shen Meizhuang forced a faint smile and joked.
"Sis likes it, Lingrong's craftsmanship is not in vain." An Lingrong said with a smile, and then continued:
"Yesterday, the Emperor granted Sister Wan a palace bath in Tangquan. I guess she has been favored. Apart from Concubine Hua, only Sister Wan has received such favor in the palace."
"I am happy that she is favored." Shen Meizhuang said. Although there was joy on her face, the obscurity in her eyes could not deceive anyone.
"Don't worry, sister. You are the first one to be favored by the emperor after entering the palace. Your friendship with the emperor is incomparable to anyone else. The emperor still loves you." An Lingrong comforted.
In her previous life, she had never been favored because of that reason. When Shen Meizhuang came to see her at that time, it was more to comfort herself. She was not as favored as Zhen Huan, and An Lingrong was not as good as herself. But she could think of herself as not the worst.
But now it is different. She came here this time to see how An Lingrong is doing and whether she is also tossing and turning like herself, so as to dispel her shame caused by jealousy.
However, An Lingrong did not seem to be as jealous as she had expected, and she felt extremely ashamed and angry.
"Lingrong, I am very happy that Huan'er is favored, but I..."
"Sister, I understand..." An Lingrong knew her character. She knew that Shen Meizhuang would be so entangled in her jealousy of Zhen Huan and even feel ashamed of such feelings that she would be unable to extricate herself, so she gave her a way out.
"Lingrong, I know I shouldn't be like this, but I..." Shen Meizhuang held An Lingrong's hand, hoping that she could empathize with her.
"The emperor treats sister Wan like this, not only you, sister Mei, but also the harem, including Concubine Hua, will be jealous.
Sister has always been very smart, and there will be more beauties in the harem in the future, so sister, please don't think too much." An Lingrong thought, "I hope Shen Meizhuang will not have a wasted trip."
