Chapter 224 Ulanara Yixiu (3)
An Lingrong did not mention what happened in Jingren Palace first, but asked Zhen Huan: "Sister Mei had such a big thing happen, why didn't Sister Wan inform me? I only found out this morning that such a big thing happened last night, and I was worried for a while. Is Sister Mei okay?"
Zhen Huan patiently explained, "It was already so late at night, and I only knew about it because Eunuch Su informed the Emperor. I was confused at first because I was anxious and had to argue with Concubine Hua about Sister Mei falling into the water. Later, I saw that Sister Mei was no longer seriously injured, and it was so late, so I didn't ask anyone to disturb you. Lingrong, don't worry, Sister Mei was just frightened at the time, and now she is fine."
An Lingrong asked this just to show her concern for her good sister. When Zhen Huan said, "It's all right now," she seemed to be relieved: "I'm glad Sister Mei is fine."
The atmosphere became a little awkward after that. If Zhen Huan hadn't brought it up, An Lingrong couldn't just say out loud, "I didn't listen to the instigation of Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua. I always treated you as a good sister", right?
Besides, in her current condition, she can’t even see the Emperor, so she can only hope to have a favorite concubine who will mention her in person.
Otherwise, the palace was like a snow cave; the gate was comparable to the cold palace; the ration was deducted again and again, and her mother still relied on her to help... An Lingrong was afraid that she would live a miserable life like this.
But what would Zhen Huan say?
Said that he would introduce An Lingrong to the emperor?
Stop joking. Zhen Huan is now at the peak of her favor and has the deepest love with the Emperor. She has never even mentioned Shen Meizhuang in front of the Emperor, let alone An Lingrong?
The emperor’s favor could not be mentioned, so An Lingrong chatted awkwardly with Zhen Huan for a while and then left.
As soon as she returned to the Yanxi Palace, Baojuan began to nag Zhen Huan and the others, "My lady, such a big thing happened to Concubine Shen last night. Concubine Wan didn't inform us yesterday, but she could barely say that she was considerate of us because we live far away. But she didn't even tell us a word today, which is really too distant with us."
An Lingrong laughed at herself and gave up on Bao Juan. "Forget it. Who am I? You just heard it. The one who went there yesterday was either the Queen or Concubine Hua. Sister Wan is also a favorite concubine now. A small concubine like me can't afford to offend any of these people. What's the point of me going there? It's better to know nothing than to be in a dilemma."
Baojuan immediately comforted her: "My lady, please don't say that. You are just looking for an opportunity now. If Concubine Wan can help introduce you, you may have a chance to succeed."
When Baojuan mentioned this, An Lingrong's mood became even worse: "Sister Wan is in favor now, how could she think of me? Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi made it so obvious when they paid their respects, but Sister Wan didn't mention this at all when we went to Suiyuxuan, which shows that she didn't mean it that way."
Baojuan continued, "If Wan Changzai and Shen Guiren are favored, then you, my lady, will never have a chance to rise. I see that they are having an easy life, so I don't care about your life or death at all."
Then Baojuan recounted Zhen Huan's ruthlessness and disloyalty again and again: "During the half year when Wan Changzai was ill, our own allowances were not enough, and life was so difficult, but you insisted on sending more than half of your clothes and charcoal to Wan Changzai. You were reluctant to use those silk fabrics yourself, but made hand warmers for her.
Such a great favor of helping in a time of need, but Wan Changzai seemed to have forgotten it at all. She was in favor now, and the emperor sent a lot of rewards to Sui Yuxuan, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs never let them lose anything.
Ever since you, my lady... our lives are so difficult now. Wan Changzai has also experienced such difficult times, but he turned a blind eye to your difficulties.
It's fine that she's too pampered to give you a little bit, but I haven't seen any of their things. I won't say anything else. It's been a long time since Ju Qing was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet filled our ranks.
It was because of Ju Qing sent by Wan Chang Zai that another maid was sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now Ju Qing is gone, and we are short of manpower here. If Wan Chang Zai had mentioned it to the emperor, people would have helped us a long time ago. If you don't even want to say a word, what kind of good sister are you?"
In fact, some of Baojuan's words were a bit unreasonable.
Zhen Huan had just been demoted to a concubine for violating palace rules. How could she possibly presumptuously interfere in personnel transfers at this critical juncture?
However, what she said before was not only the truth but also touched An Lingrong's heart.
When she first entered the palace, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan told her that as long as the three of them were united in purpose, they would not be afraid of any difficulties. She believed them, so she did her best to be nice to Zhen Huan and provide her with help.
But now?
When the other two were doing well, no one came out to help her. What kind of good sisters are they?
Her previous sincerity was simply wasted!
Seeing that she had successfully resonated with An Lingrong, Baojuan began to recommend Yixiu to her, and urged her to just join Yixiu.
The queen herself is old and ugly, and has no young concubines to rely on. If she goes there now, she can help the queen's team win favor.
An Lingrong hesitated: "But the Queen seems to be at odds with Concubine Hua." And Concubine Hua is very cruel.
An Lingrong witnessed Xia Dongchun being beaten to a cripple and also ran into the "Popular Fortune" in the well. She was really afraid of Concubine Hua.
Baojuan had her own reasons: "But who in the palace doesn't know that Concubine Hua cares the most about the Emperor? Concubine Shen got all the green chrysanthemums from the Emperor and also took away some of Concubine Hua's palace power; and Concubine Wan recently took away Concubine Hua's favor. They have already offended Concubine Hua to death.
And these two are both favored and have family backgrounds. If you mix with them, Empress Hua may still have some reservations about dealing with them, but dealing with the young ladies who are on good terms with them... "It's as easy as cleaning a dish.
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Only then did An Lingrong realize that she was in danger.
This is exactly as Baojuan said. She has not enjoyed any benefits brought by Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu. On the contrary, if she continues like this, when Concubine Hua notices it, she will probably be the first one to be killed by Concubine Hua.
The reason why Concubine Hua didn't kill Shen Meizhuang in one go last night was because of her strong family background. An Lingrong didn't have the confidence to do so.
No, she had to untie Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and the others! No matter how many friendships there were, their lives were not as important as hers!
An Lingrong grabbed Baojuan's hand like a life-saving straw: "Baojuan, but I have nothing. Sister Lian Wan, no, Lian Wan Changzai and Shen Guiren look down on me. Can the Queen accept me?"
The fish is hooked~
A smile quickly appeared on Baojuan's lips.
A sweet: "The original title won an overwhelming victory, so the title of this book will remain "Dian Fei"."
