After Concubine Hua finished speaking, she felt a little unsatisfied, and said to An Lingrong: "An Bin is smart and beautiful, so it is reasonable for her to be favored by the emperor, but it is just another person. Since An Bin and Hui Bin are like sisters, they are like sisters. Why did you forget that you should give a share of the pie to your sisters besides being your favorite?"

Concubine Hua's words were already aggressive.

Meizhuang, who was accompanied by her daughter, looked calmly and touched the jade bracelet An Lingrong gave her, without saying anything.

On the contrary, because An Lingrong was favored, she did not get to see the emperor as she wished. Zhen Huan was dissatisfied when she was awarded the jade room. She couldn't help but look up at An Lingrong, whose appearance had not changed, but her temperament was somewhat unfamiliar.

By chance, An Lingrong also raised her eyes to look at Zhen Huan, and the two looked at each other.

An Lingrong smiled warmly, and Zhen Huan turned her eyes away with a guilty conscience and stopped looking at her.

After taking a sip of tea, An Lingrong turned sideways, stared at Concubine Hua, and said with a faint smile: "The empress asked my sister to copy the Analects of Confucius to instruct the female relatives in the Sixth Palace. How could my sister not know that jealousy and resentment are a great disadvantage to a woman's virtue? Ling Although Rong is incompetent and dull, he knows the virtues of concubines Hui and nobles but he never dares to do anything wrong."

Concubine Hua said: "Although you swear that people are virtuous, there is no guarantee that others will not be the same. I have been in the palace for many years, and I have seen a lot of cold and capricious people."

An Lingrong paused. She did not expect that Concubine Hua was so smart when it came to competing for favor.

So, she also smiled and said: "Thank you for your advice. Since your Majesty didn't copy the Analects of Confucius and give it to everyone in the harem, in order to prevent the harem from fighting for favor and causing trouble. Your Majesty has good intentions, but it's too late for the sisters to obey respectfully. Why? You still dare to go against your wishes, let alone..."

An Lingrong looked at the golden phoenix and pearl hairpin trembling gently on Concubine Hua's temples, and said with a chuckle, "Queen Lu is cruel, Concubine Qi is the only favorite, Mrs. Guan and Zhao Zi'er both ended up miserable. Now that the empress and Concubine Hua are virtuous, how can the harem of Emperor Gaozu be compared with I compare it to the North."

The smile on Concubine Hua's lips froze slightly. Fu Cha was always watching her words and would immediately retort.

Concubine Hua looked sideways out of the corner of her eyes and happened to see the Queen walking out of the curtain and said bluntly: "The Queen is here, but she has a headache? Do you need me to ask two Imperial Physicians Jiang to come and take a look?"

Fucha Changzai heard that the queen came out, and she had no choice but to retreat silently as she was riding two boats.

The queen's face was slightly stiff, and then she sat down next to the main seat with the support of Jian Qiu, and said kindly: "There is a happy event today. I am a little late to look at the account book. I don't bother Concubine Hua to find the imperial doctor to see me. I have been here for many years. It’s an old problem.”

As she spoke, she looked at An Lingrong with burning eyes, and then said: "Concubine An has been getting along with Concubine Wan Gui and Concubine Hui for a long time, and her talk skills have become increasingly clever. I can hear your noisy voice from a long distance away."

Mei Zhuang's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just silently.

An Lingrong didn't say anything more and nodded slightly toward the queen.

Seeing that the place was a little cold, the queen said some thoughtful words, which made the place warm again.

Xingui, who was accustomed to being outspoken, looked at the queen and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the queen's face has become more and more delicate. Could it be that she got some treasure? Can I let all the sisters see it?"

Hearing this, the chattering concubines became quiet and looked directly at the queen.

It was only now that they noticed that the Queen's complexion had improved and her body was much lighter.

Could it be that he had a rash and was cured by the people from Taiyuan Hospital, and it still had such effects?
Some of the concubines who didn't have the rash suddenly felt a little excited. Rather than suffering temporary pain, they would rather let their youth stay on their faces, which would also please the emperor.

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth became much stiffer. She looked at the Xingui man below her eyes and said slowly: "I have never liked to use rouge powder. Maybe it was because I didn't go out to walk around after getting a rash. You think I am a little younger."

Concubine Qi, who liked to be fooled, nodded. Just as she was about to show off that her third elder brother had grown taller again, Su Peisheng's voice came from outside.

"The Emperor is here—"

The emperor was wearing a dragon robe and looked solemn.

All the concubines stood up and stood aside, waiting for the emperor's instructions.The emperor said to everyone with a gentle look: "Sit down, today I come to the Queen's Palace to gather everyone and announce some important things."

The queen next to her didn't look good. She thought the emperor was going to promote An Lingrong to the throne, so she moved her lips but didn't speak.

Concubine Hua also had a restless temper. Even though Cao Qinmo had tried to persuade her before, she still stood up and said to the emperor tenderly: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Concubine An and Noble Lady Wan were disrespectful to me."

An Lingrong felt a little speechless after hearing this. She looked at the emperor as usual, waiting for his decision.

When the emperor heard this, he said expressionlessly, and then asked Concubine An and Concubine Hua how they could be so disrespectful.

In front of everyone, Concubine Hua spoke about the reprimand copying without blushing or heartbeat.

After hearing this, the emperor waved his hand and motioned for Concubine Hua to sit down first.

Concubine Hua was unwilling to give in, but Cao Qinmo couldn't stand it anymore. He stretched out his hand and pulled Concubine Hua's sleeve, and smiled awkwardly at the emperor and queen.

All the concubines just pretended not to see Cao Qinmo's actions, so as not to let An Lingrong get promoted and Concubine Hua take out her anger on old people like them in the future.

Seeing that the emperor had no reaction, Concubine Hua pouted and sat down.

The concubines, who were waiting for the emperor's order, soon heard the emperor's deep voice.

"I have thought about it again and again. Since I came to the throne, I have really neglected some elderly people in the palace, so I have decided to promote the concubine's position and hold a concubine ceremony in seven days."

Everyone was confused. It turned out that An Lingrong was not the concubine, but Jing Concubine?

As for the concubine huddled there, the invisible concubine was surprised and happy when she heard this, and she bent down to salute and thank her.

The emperor clapped his hands, and Su Peisheng handed over another brochure, which finally set the date for the concubine's appointment as concubine.

"Get up."

"The concubine thanked the emperor."

All the concubines also hurriedly spoke up and congratulated the concubine on her concubine with smiling faces.

Concubine Jing stood up and took the booklet, overjoyed. Then she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the smile on An Lingrong's face and the slight mouth movements she made.

That was the code word that the two of them had spoken privately at that time.

The original sentence is, "Today, the empress finally gets her wish."

Having just been made a concubine by the emperor, Concubine Jing, who was somewhat in a state of excitement, felt her heart tighten.

She asked why the emperor had made her a concubine instead of being promoted to a concubine who was favored by Cao and had children by his side.

It turned out that it was An Bin who was blowing the pillow wind behind her back to say good things to her.

Concubine Jing was not a fool. She naturally knew what An Lingrong had done behind her back. She just wanted her to take more care of Concubine Hui, so that Concubine Hui would not be bullied by Concubine Hua's party.

At the same time, I also hope that I can be on their side to check and balance the arrogant and domineering Hua Fei Party. (End of chapter)
