"I understand." Shen Meizhuang came back to her senses, forced a smile with difficulty, and sat for a while before leaving.

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang's somewhat dejected back and couldn't help but feel sorry for her:

Come to think of it, it seemed that Shen Meizhuang in her previous life had lived her entire life for Zhen Huan.

After Zhen Huan became favored by the emperor, her status plummeted.

The reason why Concubine Hua treated her so cruelly was also because of Zhen Huan.

After Zhen Huan went to Ganlu Temple, she stayed in the deserted Suiyu Pavilion for many years with a pure heart and few desires...

Looking back now, she had no good relationship with anyone else in the harem except Zhen Huan and Jingpin. I hope she can wake up soon and live a life for herself.

After Zhen Huan returned to the palace, she was favored by the Emperor. The Emperor summoned Zhen Huan for seven consecutive days. Not only Concubine Hua was resentful about this, but all the concubines in the harem who had been favored by the Emperor were probably resentful and jealous.

Since Concubine Hua was out of favor, she had time to target Shen Meiyu. Shen Meiyu's life became more and more difficult, especially after she became favored by the Emperor, Concubine Hua's targeting became more and more frequent.

That day, after dinner, a strong wind suddenly blew outside. Mi Xia took a few maids to close the doors and windows. The eunuchs who were moving flowers and plants from the yard to the corridor were also busy.

"My lady, please come in. It might rain heavily." Juqing came in from outside and saw An Lingrong standing in the corridor. She took a few quick steps and helped An Lingrong who stood up and looked outside.

"But is there any letter?" An Lingrong was also happy when she saw the happy look on Mi Xia's face.

"Yes." Juqing nodded with a smile and helped An Lingrong into the inner hall.

"My lady, Aunt Xiao sent someone to tell me that everything has been done according to your wishes." Just hearing this, An Lingrong felt relieved.

The last time she sent a letter, she did not receive a reply from Aunt Xiao. This time she asked someone else and finally got a reply.

"Did you say what delayed you?" An Lingrong, who had relaxed, sat on the Luohan bed and asked Juqing.

"Congratulations, my lady~!" Ju Qing smiled and bowed to An Lingrong.

"What are you congratulating us for? We were just talking about Aunt Xiao." An Lingrong looked at Juqing, even more curious.

"My lady, the messenger said that Aunt Xiao's son passed the imperial examination last autumn and became a scholar. She took her son to Jeju to study in the spring, and our letter got lost, which delayed her reply." Juqing said with a smile, and An Lingrong was even more surprised.

Last year, Aunt Xiao accompanied him to Beijing, but she didn't think that An Fuwen would be able to pass the exam. In his previous life, An Fuwen did fail the exam, and then An Bihuai said that studying was useless, and it would be better to wait until he had money and donate a small official position like him, isn't it better than studying hard? !

This time, An Fuwen actually passed the exam.

"My lady, this is a letter from Aunt Xiao." Juqing took out the letter from her arms and handed it to An Lingrong, who was even more surprised.

"Girl, since you have a letter, why didn't you take it out earlier?!" An Lingrong tapped Juqing's forehead. Although she was reprimanding, there was a smile on her face.

An Lingrong unfolded the letter, and Aunt Xiao said that she would take care of everything and told An Lingrong not to worry, and that she would definitely do whatever An Lingrong asked.

He also said that An Fuwen passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, although his ranking was low, but because he passed the exam, An Bihuai felt proud and he no longer said that he could not study.

In fact, it was very simple to send the letter. There were palace maids and eunuchs in the harem who took things out to exchange for silver every day, and the guards turned a blind eye.

But it is difficult to send something in, so it is usually sent in via message. Now, I don’t know how many people this letter has passed through.

When An Lingrong wrote the letter, she only asked Aunt Xiao to keep an eye on An Bihuai and persuade him to behave properly. She also said that in the summer of next year, she hoped Aunt Xiao would ask her father to take leave and bring her mother to Beijing. She would find a doctor who treated eye diseases and wanted to check her mother's eyes.

As soon as Aunt Xiao read the letter, she knew what An Lingrong meant. When An Lingrong was at home, she had a bad relationship with An Bihuai. If they really just wanted to have a look, she would definitely ask Aunt Xiao to bring Madam An along.

Mentioning An Bihuai at this time and asking him to go to the capital together must mean that there are things to be arranged that cannot be written on paper.

So Aunt Xiao found an excuse, asked An Bihuai to arrange the matters at hand, and asked for leave. The letter said that they would set out from Songyang County at the end of April, and if they took the water route, they would be able to reach Beijing in mid-May.

An Lingrong was very happy to see this. In this way, An Bihuai would definitely miss the task of escorting the grain.

In this case, what An Lingrong has to do is to keep the emperor by her side and make him give her father an idle position in the capital where he cannot seek personal gain.

"This is for you." An Lingrong took off a jade bracelet from her hand and put it on Juqing's hand.

"What are you doing, young lady?" Ju Qing evaded.

"Since you have congratulated me, I naturally have to reward you." An Lingrong put away the letter from home and asked Juqing to find a box to put it in.

"Thank you for the reward, my lady." Ju Qingfuli smiled so happily that her teeth were showing.

"Hurry up and get up. Are you happy now? I heard you and Xier telling you about your brother the other day. Did something happen at home?" An Lingrong looked at Juqing with a smile on her face.

"My Lord, it's not a big deal. My brother used to be the assistant to the owner of a spice shop. He was about to be promoted to the owner, but the owner died of an illness.

Now the boss has changed his job to the second wife. I don’t know if he is reluctant to spend money or what, but he actually arranged for his brother-in-law to be the manager and let my brother start as an apprentice.

The elder brother was nostalgic for the old times and wanted to swallow his anger and continue to work, but his two nephews were at school and he could not afford the apprentice's salary.

My sister-in-law wrote to me because she couldn't persuade him anymore. After I wrote to her and talked to him about it, he quit his job and prepared to find another job.

When I got the letter, I was a little worried, so I talked to Xi'er about it, not wanting to disturb the young lady." After Ju Qing finished speaking, she changed a cup of tea for An Lingrong.

"Spice shop?" An Lingrong felt a little excited when she heard this. In her previous life, she had figured out so many recipes. If she took them out and opened a shop outside now, not only could she make some money, but she would also have something to pass the time during these long days.

What's more, my mother will have to go to Beijing for eye treatment soon, and she will need money.

"Yes, actually it's just a shop that's slightly bigger than a stall. Someone wanted to hire you for a high price before, but you were nostalgic and wanted to keep the friendship with your old employer, so you didn't have to leave. Now that you've quit this job, people will come to hire you for work, so you don't have to worry." Juqing said with a smile, with a sense of pride in his brother on his face.

"Juqing, what do you think of the spices I mixed?" An Lingrong held Juqing's hand.
