"My lord, it's raining so hard, why are you still going out?" Liu Zhi held up an umbrella to cover the rain, while stretching his arms around An Lingrong, fearing that she would be drenched in the rain.

"A few days ago when I was shopping, I accidentally lost the sachet, so I came to look for it." An Lingrong made an excuse casually.

"Oh, why did the young master come out to look for it by himself, and tell me to run for a while." Liu Zhi moved the oil-paper umbrella to An Lingrong's side by two points, but his shoulders were soaked in the rain.An Lingrong hurriedly moved the umbrella back again, and said, "Don't just focus on me, I'm wearing a cloak! I'm not afraid of the rain."

Zhang Qianqian floated beside her, watching the two of them walking in the heavy rain with umbrellas, she couldn't help regretting, "Look at my memory, I should have reminded you to bring two umbrellas when you first came out."

However, she thought that she had already come out, and the path to the Royal Garden was not too far away, so she said, "Hurry up and take a look, and come back quickly after you finish watching."

An Lingrong nodded, thinking of going back quickly, he hurriedly took Liu Zhi to the place where he saw Zhen Huan a few days ago, and didn't care about keeping Liu Zhi away.

Arriving at the place, Liu Zhi found that An Lingrong was not looking for any sachet, but was looking at something through the rain curtain, and immediately understood that An Lingrong was not looking for something, but for something else.Although he didn't know what it was, Liu Zhi was also a smart person, he didn't puncture it, but just followed An Lingrong secretly.

An Lingrong was still standing by the side of the small pavilion, using the small trees to hide his figure, the willow branch was also very clever when he saw this, imitating An Lingrong's appearance, and squatted down quietly.

Zhang Qianqian went to the swing, looked more carefully, and saw that there was no one next to the swing, so she came back and told An Lingrong.

"I was still worried about them, but they didn't come." An Lingrong sneezed a little while speaking, and the willow branch next to him rubbed his hand holding the umbrella, obviously feeling cold too.

Looking outside again, An Lingrong said to Liu Zhi: "Let's go back!"

Liu Zhi nodded, and was about to stand up, but was suddenly held down by An Lingrong again, and her eyes widened.

"Shut up!" An Lingrong made a silent gesture.Liu Zhi didn't know what happened, but followed An Lingrong's line of sight, and suddenly found that the person followed by a group of eunuchs and guards was the current emperor.

"Look, our timing is quite accurate." Zhang Qianqian explained to An Lingrong with a smile: "It's raining so much at this time, Zhen Huan must not be able to wait to go back first, now that the emperor is here, look No one thought that Zhen Huan was not here, and Zhen Huan must have thought that the Emperor was not here!"

"It's raining so heavily, yet the emperor is still here. It seems that the emperor likes sister Zhen." An Lingrong looked at the emperor in the rain, a little dazed.

"That's right, I said that Zhen Huan is blessed, right? Just wait and see, in a few days, Zhen Huan will be favored!" Just as she was talking happily, she saw the willow branch next to her sniffing her nose and hitting her a few times. After a small sneeze, Zhang Qianqian hurriedly urged An Lingrong: "Go back quickly, the willow branch is already sneezing, it will be bad if you two get sick!"

An Lingrong came back to his senses, looked at Liu Zhi apologetically, quietly pulled her up, and retreated.

After returning to the residence, Baojuan was still nowhere to be seen, probably still hiding in the room and lazing.Ju Xiang was playing with the rain in the corridor, An Lingrong called Ju Xiang and said, "Hurry up and cook some ginger soup!"

Ju Xiang looked suspiciously at the two people who came back from the rain, and after answering, hurriedly went to the back to cook ginger soup on the stove.

After entering the wing room, Willow Branch served An Lingrong, took off his cloak, changed his shoes, and hugged the stove on the floor. He was about to go back to the room to change clothes, when An Lingrong said: "You don't need to go back and change, your room It's cold. You can change into my old clothes first, the one I wore when I first entered the palace last year, it shouldn't be too big for you."

An Lingrong doesn't have many clothes, so she wants to wear them sparingly, but she can't take out the old clothes from last year to wear, and she can't take them out for silver like a handkerchief, and wear them on willow branches There's nothing wrong with that either.After all, it is a good material, but it would be a pity to let it go bad.

When Liu Zhi heard this, she was naturally moved. She was happy and thanked An Lingrong, and went out to find some clothes to change.An Lingrong was thin and small, but the willow branch had a big frame. Although the two were a few years apart in age, their clothes were similar, except that the sleeves were a little longer.Liu Zhi thought about cherishing some clothes, maybe he could wear them for a year or two.

On the second day, there was a rumor in the palace that the emperor fell ill, and all the high-ranking concubines went to attend to the illness.Both An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were still out of favour, so naturally it was not their turn to serve the sick.

However, An Lingrong still remembers the meeting between Zhen Huan and the emperor, so she is always uneasy.

Zhang Qianqian had a good idea at this time, and said: "I didn't see anyone yesterday, I'm afraid Zhen Huan is also thinking about it today, why don't you go to see her and remind her a few words tactfully. It doesn't need to be obvious, just say yesterday Looking for a sachet, I saw the emperor looking for someone by the swing. Zhen Huan is so smart, she will definitely understand."

An Lingrong thought about it carefully and agreed.If Zhen Huan is not reminded of this incident, even if Zhen Huan finds out that the person is the emperor, and mistook the emperor for the prince in the future, it will always be a hidden danger.

But if you want to remind Zhen Huan, let Zhen Huan know that she met her privately with the emperor and mistakenly identified the emperor, and Zhen Huan will be reminded but plant a thorn in her heart, always worrying that she will threaten her with this matter.

But it rained heavily yesterday, so coincidentally, she only saw the emperor, not Zhen Huan.It is a great opportunity to tell Zhen Huan in this way that Zhen Huan is favored by her without worrying about her knowing her private affairs.

As soon as he said it, An Lingrong tidied up casually while it was still early, and took Liu Zhi to see Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan was worrying about yesterday's events, when she saw An Lingrong coming, although she didn't want to welcome her, she reluctantly smiled and came into the room.

Zhen Huan always concealed it, and An Lingrong didn't see her reluctance to come. She only mentioned the sick emperor according to the words discussed with Zhang Qianqian: "Today I wanted to ask sister Shen to come and talk, but the emperor is sick. If she wants to be sick, I will come here by myself. The spring tide needs to be protected from the frost. Yesterday, the emperor fell ill after being drenched in the rain in the imperial garden for a while..."

"What?" Zhen Huan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked directly, "The emperor was caught in the rain in the imperial garden? Who did you hear?"

"I didn't hear from anyone. I lost the sachet to look for it, and I happened to see it." An Lingrong continued unhurriedly: "The sachet has my name embroidered on it. I'm so anxious to lose it. It was raining heavily again, and I almost caught a cold, so I drank two bowls of ginger soup when I went back!"

"Did you see the emperor? Where did you see it?" Zhen Huan was really curious about the emperor's illness and kept asking.

"It seems to be next to the apricot garden, right? There is also a swing. The emperor is in a hurry, but he doesn't know what he is looking for." An Lingrong pretended to be joking: "I wonder if the emperor has lost something too. But I vaguely heard something like 'It's raining so hard, it's normal if you don't come'."

"Really?" Zhen Huan didn't know where her thoughts drifted when she heard this, she just murmured in a low voice, "So it's the emperor."

"This..." An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan in a daze, and it was obvious that she was in a daze.She was still talking, but she couldn't pretend she didn't see something wrong with Zhen Huan!

"Zhen Huan is thinking about something, you can find an excuse to leave!" Zhang Qianqian reminded: "When she recovers and thinks about it, she will definitely appreciate your reminder."

"I hope." An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief, took Liu Zhi and Liu Zhu who was guarding the door, said "I still have something to do" and went back.

After waiting for a few days, Zhen Huan was indeed favored and made a nobleman.An Lingrong was delighted to hear this, and wanted to congratulate Zhen Huan, but after hearing the emperor's decree that Zhen Huan should not be disturbed if she was recuperating, she calmed down.

Zhen Huan became more and more popular, and the women in the palace were all attracted to her. An Lingrong, who was not noticed at all, was very carefree except for her difficult life.

Of course, whenever Zhen Huan was favored and the emperor went to see her every day, An Lingrong would feel a little sad when he heard about it.

Zhang Qianqian comforted her again: "Do you still remember the time of the draft? At that time, you were also selected first after being dismissed. The so-called good things take time, and the same is true for your sleeping. When the time is right, you are waiting The opportunity will come."

An Lingrong's personality was originally sensitive and worrying, but now with Liu Zhi serving her, Zhang Qianqian's constant relief, and her friendship with Zhen Huan Shenmeizhuang, her personality is much stronger than when she first entered the palace.

Besides, although Zhang Qianqian always said that she still had a chance to serve her bed, An Lingrong only took Zhang Qianqian to comfort herself, and didn't really look forward to it. Thinking of her dark future, she relied even more on the help of Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang up.

After another month or so, Zhen Huan went to bed, and she even became a pet for several days in a row.An Lingrong had to marvel at Zhen Huan's ability.But she also knows that Zhen Huan is good-looking and proficient in piano, chess, poetry and painting, so it is normal to be favored, and great favor is also acceptable.

An Lingrong also thought that Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were both favored, and maybe she would also think of supporting her as a sister.

In such a mood of thinking and anticipating every day, the days passed extremely quickly, and several major events also happened in the palace.

First, Concubine Hua was dissatisfied with Zhen Huan being favored, so she quietly asked someone to push her into the water by torturing Shen Meizhuang.When An Lingrong hurriedly visited Shen Meizhuang to see that she was well, he learned that someone in Zhen Huan Palace had poisoned her.

Although the person who poisoned has been caught, the emperor ordered Yu Shi who instigated the poison to commit suicide, but there were many dangers in the middle, An Lingrong was frightened into a cold sweat several times, his mind became more determined, and he understood the danger in the palace.

In Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan and the three were sitting and talking, a young eunuch came to report that Mrs. Yu refused to commit suicide, had been making trouble, and cursed Zhen Huan loudly, and many palace people heard it.

Shen Meizhuang asked the little eunuch a few words, and learned that the queen didn't care about it, and the emperor went out of the palace again, so there was no way for Yu to commit suicide, so she could only let her yell and scold in the cold palace.

Although it was in the Leng Palace, there were many palace people on duty nearby, and in just a few hours, the scolding words spread to most of the palace.Mrs Yu hated Zhen Huan in her heart, and she was born in the market, so she always picked the worst curse words.If this continues, Zhen Huan will be scolded.

An Lingrong was thoughtful after hearing this, and suddenly made up his mind to leave and leave.
