When An Lingrong heard in the palace that Zhen Huan had been granted the title of Jin Dynasty, there was no joy on his face.
"Little Master."
Baojuan whispered: "Xia Changzai was given death."
"Really?"
This news actually made An Lingrong even more excited. After all, his life would be much easier without Xia Dongchun.
Although the noble Fucha is not easy to get along with, after all, she rarely takes the initiative to embarrass herself.
"It's absolutely true. My servant also heard that it was because Xia Changzai and Yu promised to have a conflict with Wan Guiren that the emperor ordered the two of them to be dealt with."
Baojuan knew that An Lingrong usually had a good relationship with Zhen Huan and the others, so she told it in a way that An Lingrong liked to hear. But she didn't know that An Lingrong was not so happy now.
Maybe she would have been very happy before, but recently when she was following the Queen, the Queen would always talk about recommending her to the Emperor, intentionally or unintentionally. As long as she worked for the Queen wholeheartedly, her position would definitely be better in the future. Higher is more stable.
But she also knows that Shen Meizhuang is favored now, and Concubine Hua always goes to Zhen Huan, so she still needs to pretend to be on good terms with them.
"You go and prepare some things first. When Huigui comes to see me, I will go with her to congratulate Sister Wan."
An Lingrong thought that Shenmeizhuang would come to see her soon, but she didn't expect that Shenmeizhuang didn't come after waiting for a whole day.
When she wanted to go the next day, she also received the emperor's order not to disturb Zhen Huan's recovery.
This made her feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, she usually goes to Zhen Huan's place a lot, so it's not too out of the ordinary now.
During these days, she went to Jingren Palace more often, and she obviously felt that Shen Meizhuang was not as close to her as before.
An Lingrong got up early in the morning and went to pay his respects to the queen, but was left behind by the queen.
"Empress."
When everyone left and An Lingrong was alone, An Lingrong said with some restraint, "My Majesty, I have something to give you."
"You've also heard about Wan Guiren, right?"
Although the expression on the queen's face did not show happiness, there was no displeasure either.
"Yes, I'm still thinking of going to Sister Wan's place to see her soon."
An Lingrong said quickly: "Sister Wan is ill now, so she is not very happy."
"It's her business whether she likes it or not, and it's your business whether you go or not. Look, Chun Chang is here. Yesterday was over as soon as he got the news. You have to take the initiative. Now she and Hui Gui It’s always a good thing if you go more often.”
The queen seemed to have said unintentionally: "Among the new ladies in the palace, you and Chun Changzai are the only ones who have not yet slept with you. Chun Changzai is still young, so you still have a chance. I will also mention it to the emperor." Yes, don’t let me down.”
"Concubine, thank you for taking care of me."
An Lingrong went out after finishing speaking.
Originally, An Lingrong planned to go to Chengqian Palace as soon as she left Jingren Palace, but after such a delay, by the time she arrived, Shen Meizhuang and Feng Ruozhao were already inside.
"Greetings to the concubine, may you wish me all the best."
Among the few people, Concubine Jing had the highest status, so An Lingrong paid her respects to Concubine Jing first.
"Get up."
Feng Ruozhao has always had a good temper, so even though he couldn't call An Lingrong by name, he wouldn't be embarrassed.
"Thank you, ma'am."
An Lingrong stood up, and Zhen Huan asked someone to bring her a stool and sit down quickly.
"Yesterday I heard that Sister Wan was made a noble person. I was very happy, but I was afraid that too many people would delay my sister's rest, so I came here today to congratulate my sister."
This was the rhetoric that An Lingrong had thought of long ago. Now that he saw Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang here, he felt more at ease. Obviously, they thought so too.
"Yes, I suddenly heard the news in the palace yesterday. I thought it was a rumor. Xiao Xiazi, who was with the emperor for the first time, came over and conveyed the decree, and then I realized that it was true."
Feng Ruozhao really didn't care who the emperor favored. After so many years in the palace, she had already taken it lightly. Moreover, there were so many women in the palace, how could the emperor take care of them all? Didn't he just count the days by himself during this long night?
So when I heard that Zhen Huan was granted a title by the Jin Dynasty, I only knew that she had a very good relationship with Hui Guiren in her palace, and recently, Nian Shilan's love came, and her relationship with Nian Shilan had eased. Lets come look.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Shen Meizhuang took Zhen Huan's hand and said, "You should have told me about this matter earlier."
"My encounter with the emperor was accidental, and I didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly grant me a title."
Zhen Huan wanted to tell Shen Meizhuang about herself and the emperor, but now that Concubine Jing and An Lingrong were both there, she couldn't tell the truth.
Fortunately, Shen Meizhuang was always the most considerate and didn't ask any questions.
On the contrary, Concubine Jing glanced at An Lingrong and said, "An promised to return the favor but didn't go to bed with her, right?"
"Yes."
What An Lingrong dislikes most now is for others to ask him about this matter, but it is inevitable that everyone will ask him when he sees it.
"The emperor is busy recently and rarely comes to the harem. Don't take it too seriously."
Seeing An Lingrong's uncomfortable look, Shen Meizhuang comforted him.
"I know, thank you sister."
Several people were still talking about An Lingrong's bedside service at this time, but they did not expect that the emperor would turn over An Lingrong's sign that night.
When Nian Shilan heard the news, she was teasing little Wen Yi at Concubine Duan's place.
"She has managed to survive, but I don't know if she is worthy of the queen's cultivation."
Nian Shilan smiled sarcastically, and naturally he didn't have a good tone.
Concubine Duan just thought that she was in a bad mood again, and comforted her by saying, "There are always so many women in this palace. If you want to be like this for everyone, how can you be so angry?"
"Who said I was angry?"
Nian Shilan looked unconcerned: "I just think that the queen's efforts may be counterproductive in the end."
"How do you say this?"
Concubine Duan naturally didn't know that An Lingrong in her previous life was afraid of being sent out of the Yangxin Palace by the emperor, so she couldn't hear Nian Shilan's words.
"It's okay. I heard that Cao Guiren is dying. He may not be able to survive tonight."
After Nian Shilan said this, Songzhi came in.
Nian Shilan basically knew what she was talking about when he saw her. She sighed in her heart, wondering why her mouth was like a consecrated mouth. What she said came out of nowhere.
"The two empresses, noble Cao, are dead."
