After transforming into An Lingrong, he became the King of Juan and was crowned the Sixth Palace.

Chapter 36 Checking and Balancing the Queen
An Lingrong didn't speak, Concubine Hua was busy reading the account book, Songzhi and Jinxi looked at each other, temporarily put away the hostility in their eyes, lowered their heads and remained silent.

Before the two empresses opened their mouths, how could they, as servants, speak first.

It would be bad if I ruined the empress's affairs and fell into the conversation.

Just when Concubine Hua couldn't hold back her temper and was about to speak up and teach the mute An Lingrong a lesson, the lame Zhou Ninghai walked into the palace from the door with a charming look on her face, leaned over and said: "Concubine Hua, Eunuch Su is taking the Something has come from Yangxin Palace, do you want to meet me?"

"Nonsense! Eunuch Su is here because of the Emperor's wishes. How can I not see you?"

Concubine Hua slapped the table domineeringly, and then glanced contemptuously at An Lingrong, who had her head lowered and remained silent, feeling very proud of herself.

How could a Hanjun Banner woman from a small family be compared with the eldest daughter of a noble family like her?

Didn't you see that the emperor specially sent Su Peisheng to give her a gift?
I'm afraid An Bin has never seen this kind of treatment.

"Whoo."

Concubine Hua put down the account book in her hand, sat up straight, and watched with a smile as Su Peisheng held a box made of mahogany and walked to the incense burner to stand.

"Greetings to Concubine Hua and Concubine An. Your Majesty has received a new Dongzhu as a tribute. Knowing that Concubine Hua likes it, he specially ordered his servants to bring it to Concubine Hua and asked Concubine Hua to take a look at it."

With that said, Su Peisheng opened the box on his own. Under the sunlight, the Dongzhu in the box were all natural, extremely round, and the crystal clear texture stunned the servants on the side.

Only An Lingrong didn't even blink, and she didn't envy Concubine Hua for winning the Dongzhu or feel the slightest bit of jealousy.

Different from An Lingrong's calm expression, Concubine Hua left her position immediately when she saw the round pearls, and said with surprise on her face: "Does this palace belong to me alone, or does the queen also have it?"

"Nature is the empress's unique reward. The emperor's love for the empress cannot be compared with others."

Su Peisheng, who was lying without blushing and without a beating heart, carefully glanced at An Lingrong sitting next to him and Jin Xi behind her.

Seeing that An Bin and Jin Xi's expressions did not change, Su Peisheng's heart suddenly dropped.

Although he didn't understand why Concubine An privately asked Jin Xi to instruct him to say these words in Yikun Palace today, he didn't want to know too much about the concubines in the harem.

After all, if you know too much, you will die faster.

"Eunuch Su, are you serious about what you said?"

At this time, Concubine Hua's face was extremely rosy. She was very happy to hold an East Pearl and smiled silly towards the sun, acting like a little woman.

It's no wonder that Hua Fei was as happy as a flower in bloom. In the Manchu and Qing court, Dongzhu was actually the highest-quality pearl.

Compared with ordinary pearls, East Pearls are more crystal clear and larger. They are mainly produced in Songhua River and Heilongjiang.

Different from southern pearls, because of their translucent color, they were regarded as extremely precious by the Manchu court. Generally, eastern pearls were embedded in clothes and crowns, representing a kind of power and honor.

Moreover, the mining work of Dongzhu is very difficult. It is extremely difficult to obtain a good Dongzhu. Excessive demand has led to large-scale mining, so the number of good Dongzhu has become less and less.

Because of this, Dongzhu is an exclusive configuration of the royal family, and courtiers are absolutely not allowed to own it. Only the emperor, empress, and princes can own Dongzhu.

"How dare you deceive Concubine Hua? Concubine Hua is the only one who owns these pearls. Even the Queen Concubine didn't get a few."

Su Peisheng said this very well.

The Queen didn't get a few, which meant she still had them, but compared to the box of Dongzhu in Concubine Hua's hand, they were obviously not enough.

As for the love brain, the unenterprising Concubine Hua lost Li Gui and Cao Bin, two external brains who helped her solve the problem and discovered the loopholes in her speech. After that, she had no way to get the truth from Su Peisheng's mouth.

Therefore, after hearing Su Peisheng's repeated assurances, Concubine Hua quickly ordered Songzhi to get him a silver note as a reward.

Songzhi originally wanted to remind Concubine Hua that An Lingrong was still there, but when she saw her happy expression, she did not say anything disappointing and turned around and gave Su Peisheng a silver note worth 50 taels.

She knew that An Lingrong was one of her own and the most favored concubine around the emperor.

In order to win Jin Xi's favor in the future, Su Peisheng did not hesitate and took the bank note handed to him by Song Zhi. He said a few nice words about Concubine Hua, found a random reason, turned around and left Yikun Palace.

Although Su Peisheng was a rootless eunuch and a man without the ability to have children.

But the fragrance of Huanyi burning in Yikun Palace was too strong, and even he was unwilling to stay here for a long time.

Su Peisheng was deeply afraid that he would be contaminated with the smell of a man who was not a man or a woman who was not a woman.

Let’s not talk about being laughed at behind others’ backs, but it is not appropriate to just go to the Yangxin Palace to serve the emperor and let the emperor smell the fragrance!

Songzhi understood Concubine Hua's intention and quickly stepped up to follow Eunuch Su who was leaving. She pretended to be polite and said goodbye, which showed that the empress attached great importance to the servants serving the emperor.

Without Songzhi waiting on Concubine Hua, Zhou Ninghai, as a lame eunuch, resigned sensibly and guarded the door to prevent others from inquiring about the sounds inside.

Holding a fine Dongzhu, Concubine Hua was afraid that An Lingrong wouldn't see it, so she deliberately came closer and gloated: "It's a pity that the Emperor doesn't have sister An Bin in his eyes. Such a beautiful Dongzhu doesn't know how long it will take to live forever." Your Majesty, I think it’s really a pity.”

"As long as the empress likes her, I am young and cannot suppress Dongzhu's grace and splendor."

An Lingrong imitated Concubine Hua's way of mocking the queen, and used a woman's age to stimulate Concubine Hua.

It's a pity that Concubine Hua's eyes were full of Dongzhu and Su Peisheng's words that were unique to the empress but not to the queen, so she subconsciously ignored An Lingrong's taunting.

"Yes, sister An Bin likes to play with Hui Bin. The eldest daughter raised by a poor family is definitely not as good as our Nian family."

Concubine Hua kept saying that An Lingrong was on the wrong team and would be in bad luck sooner or later if she kept company with a bitch like Shen Meizhuang.

"The empress is joking. The Nian family holds military power, and your brother, General Nian, is a favorite who has won every battle. It is natural that the concubine and Sister Mei's mother's family is not as good as the Nian family, and everyone knows it."

It seems that he is praising Concubine Hua's mother's family background and winning the emperor's favor, but in fact he is mocking Concubine Hua's brother Nian Gengyao for not being able to distinguish the situation and constantly asking for credit and titles from the emperor.

This family had no idea what a person with great achievements was, so it was no wonder that the emperor and the queen mother conspired to have Concubine Duan give Concubine Hua a bowl of Juezi decoction.

The only person in the previous dynasty who could make the emperor fearful of him, apart from those older brothers, was Nian Gengyao. "Then, the elder brother shared the emperor's worries in the previous dynasty, and the younger sister helped the queen manage the harem. Is it possible that everyone can enjoy it?"

Concubine Hua touched Dongzhu and smiled.

When it came to managing the harem, she finally put her foot down and discussed with An Lingrong how to arrange the New Year's supplies so as to make some face for the emperor's upcoming family banquet.

Seeing that Concubine Hua finally mentioned the family banquet in the palace, An Lingrong did not take the account book handed over by Concubine Hua and said straight to the point: "Concubine Hua, do you really think it is a good thing for the Queen to delegate power to the two of us?"

"That's natural. The queen is old and has no energy to take care of the harem and take care of the emperor's worries. Otherwise, it would be your turn to do such errands?"

Concubine Hua slowly said: "If sister An Bin is not willing to help me, then I won't keep my sister, please come back."

An Lingrong said indifferently: "Even if the Queen wants to frame Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua still doesn't care?"

Concubine Hua chuckled, and her raised eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.

Her smile was like the thawed ice, making Yikun Palace warm.

As expected of Concubine Hua, she looks so beautiful even when she smiles.

"I feel that An Bin is not thinking very well today and is talking nonsense. How could the power of co-president of the Sixth Palace become the source of harm to me? Could it be that An Bin is jealous of my good family background and beautiful person, and slanders the Queen as a last resort? , plan to reconcile with me?"

An Lingrong felt that she was straightforward enough. What she said was so obvious, but Concubine Hua still didn't understand?

He is indeed a triathlete and has no brains at all!
But An Lingrong's face was still not annoyed, and she said slowly: "Since Concubine Hua doesn't believe it, let me explain it in detail. If Concubine Hua still doesn't believe me after listening to what I said, I will walk out immediately." Yikun Palace will no longer interfere with the Queen’s decision to host a family banquet.”

Concubine Hua also suppressed her smile and looked at An Lingrong who didn't look like she was joking. She took the box containing Dongzhu, returned to the main seat and sat down, assuming the posture of a proud superior, and said, "Say, If you can convince me, I will reward you with this box of Dongzhu."

Concubine Hua wanted to hear how An Lingrong persuaded her that the Queen's old woman was actually doing her harm by giving her the right to host a New Year's family dinner.

An Lingrong smiled lightly, pointed to the account book next to Concubine Hua, and said, "Concubine Hua did organize a family banquet, but in order to satisfy the emperor, did she secretly put a lot of silver into it?"

Hearing this, Concubine Hua said proudly: "That's natural. I am the emperor's favorite concubine. If you can't arrange the New Year's family dinner properly, it will be a slap in the emperor's face."

"is it?"

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Hua meaningfully and said, "But the princes don't know that the family banquet is organized by Concubine Hua. They will only give credit to the Queen. After all, this is a royal family banquet and the Queen should be allowed to attend." Take charge of the affairs."

"Even if Concubine Hua tries her best, can it be that Concubine Hua is the first to speak at the dinner table and not the Emperor and the Empress?"

No matter how favored Concubine Hua is, she is just a concubine, while the Queen is the Emperor's only wife.

As long as the queen doesn't seek death and gets rid of the emperor honestly, isn't her position as the queen mother stable?
Even if the new emperor's biological mother is not dead, so what?

People in the previous dynasty and among the people still believed in the late emperor's surviving wife instead of loving the biological mother of the current emperor.

It is a very common thing in the harem that the biological mother is not as good as the adoptive mother. An Lingrong does not believe that Concubine Hua does not understand this truth.

As An Lingrong narrated, Concubine Hua went from being triumphant at the beginning to becoming silent later.

Judging from Concubine Hua's expression, An Lingrong probably concluded that she believed her sincere advice.

And why did she take the risk of inhaling musk and come to Yikun Palace to inform Concubine Hua? She just wanted Concubine Hua to point the finger at the Queen and prevent that sinister and vicious woman, known as the captain of the abortion team, from sitting high on the Diaoyutai and watching. Watching the concubines fighting below.

"If Concubine Hua doesn't speak, then I will take it as Concubine Hua's acquiescence." After saying that, An Lingrong added, "In my opinion, Concubine Hua should return this beautiful job to the queen. The Queen’s family is not as rich as Nian’s family, so it will definitely be very difficult to arrange a New Year’s dinner.”

Concubine Hua said casually: "If the queen is unwilling, the emperor will blame it, and it will be yours and my palace's."

Concubine Hua actually believed An Lingrong's words, but she still hesitated whether to believe what An Lingrong said and really hand over the palace power to the queen again.

An Lingrong was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't believe that Concubine Hua was so stupid, and then said helplessly: "The queen is the queen, and this position is destined to bear a lot of responsibilities. It's just that the queen is too strong, otherwise the emperor would not take such drudgery. Give it to the queen."

Concubine Hua carefully thought about what An Lingrong said and found that it made sense.

Why did she put in so many people and efforts, and in the end it was the queen who spoke politely at the family banquet, making the princes mistakenly think that hosting the New Year's family banquet was the queen's doing, and not her concubine's credit?

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that An Lingrong's words made sense. Concubine Hua glanced at the Dongzhu placed in the box.

She casually picked up the biggest one, regardless of whether An Lingrong could catch it, and threw it to the other party boldly.

An Lingrong was startled by this huge pearl. Fortunately, she never stopped doing yoga exercises on weekdays, so she held the beautiful and heavy pearl with her hands.

"What An Bin said makes sense. I have made a note of it. You can take this Dongzhu with you, Songzhi, to see you off!"

"Then I would like to thank you in advance. I hope I can come to Yikun Palace to visit you in the future if I have the opportunity."

After saying that, An Lingrong took Jin Xi, who looked frightened, and left the musky Yikun Palace.

If she didn't hope that the queen would not worry about having an abortion on Shen Meizhuang, why would she come here to find fault?

But it's not a bad thing to get the biggest Dongzhu. I'll polish it when I get back and use it as a hand mask.

Naturally, she couldn't keep Concubine Hua's things. She would either give them away or use them as consumables. Anyway, they couldn't be seen out. She had a close relationship with Concubine Hua.

As for Songzhi, who had just stepped into the palace gate with her left foot, she was ordered by Concubine Hua to leave with An Lingrong.

Until An Bin was sent away, Songzhi thought hard and couldn't figure out why the empress would give such a big pearl to An Bin, who she didn't like!
However, a slave should not talk too much, so she did not ask Concubine Hua.

After Concubine Hua watched An Lingrong leave, she glanced at the account book that made her feel irritated, and signaled Zhou Ninghai to speak to the emperor.

She was not feeling well and could not share the emperor's worries with An Bin and host the family banquet.

We can only trouble the Queen to take action and arrange all this herself.
