Chapter 8 One Foot Red
An Lingrong chatted with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang who were walking out of the palace. When the Queen seemed to have no intention of suppressing Concubine Hua's dominance in the conversation, she saw Xia Dongchun appear out of nowhere, and Xia Changzai blocked the front.

The three of them all knew that Xia Dongchun had no brains and had had conflicts with them before the draft. Therefore, they were unwilling to talk to Chang Zai. They just wanted to keep things quiet, lest people in the palace would see the clues and discover the fact that they were not getting along.

An Lingrong looked fearless. She was not afraid of Xia Dongchun, let alone what would happen next.

After all, with the script in hand, she knew that Concubine Hua would come from behind soon to participate in this farce.

"Qing Chang's dressing and speaking skills today are as good as ever, which made Concubine Hua fall in love with you. It's a pity that it's the Empress and the concubines who are meeting today, not the Emperor."

Xia Dongchun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Since Qing Changzai is so sharp-tongued, why don't you speak for your good sisters so that Concubine Hua no longer blames Wan Changzai and Shen Guiren?"

This guy actually knows how to provoke. It's a pity that Zhen Huan and Shen Guiren have brains. They know very well that they were suppressed today because Concubine Hua was jealous of the emperor and didn't want anyone new to come in and share the favor that belongs to her alone. .

"My younger sister is stupid. She is far less eloquent and dazzling than my older sister. Even the jewelry she wears on her head is much better than my younger sister's."

"That's natural. I don't even know that this is something the Queen has given me. Unlike some people who, when they see Concubine Hua, think that everything will be fine and that they will have no worries in this life. In this harem, only the Queen is the real one." My master, Qing is always there, Wan is always here, does Mr. Shen understand?"

Zhen Huan, who saw Concubine Hua coming from a distance, pulled Shen Meizhuang's sleeves and whispered something, which made Shen Meizhuang, who was already very angry, subconsciously pretend to be aggrieved and did not dare to speak.

"Concubine Hua has arrived!"

Following Concubine Hua, the eunuch at the foot of the slope shouted, and An Lingrong and others retreated to the roadside in an orderly manner, lowering their heads and waiting for Concubine Hua's order before getting up.

From far away, she heard Xia Dongchun mocking Concubine Hua that she was not as good as the queen. Her eyes glanced at An Lingrong, who looked humble, and she felt a faint feeling of compassion in her heart.

In the harem, there have never been concubines with such status, but they can rely on the concubines step by step to be selected to meet the emperor.

Even if she was granted a permanent title by the emperor and received a title of "Qingzi", it would not be of much use.

After all, the emperor valued his mother's family, and many concubines in the harem had long known it.

"Get up, I heard from far away that Xia Changzai was dissatisfied with the rules of this palace and tried to use the queen to suppress the concubines in the harem, right?"

Concubine Hua's face was full of disgust. She didn't know why the emperor chose such a person to enter the harem. It really brought her down.

"Hua Fei, my concubine has no such intention."

Xia Dongchun, who still did not salute, really annoyed Concubine Hua. After Concubine Hua rewarded Xia Dongchun with a red gift, she looked at the charming Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, touched her forehead and left.

Zhen Huan stood up slightly tremblingly, her face full of fear.

This was the first time she felt the horror of the concubines in the harem, but she never thought that Concubine Hua would dare to reward Xia Changzai, who was not sleeping with her, with an extremely frightening one-foot red reward.

If this thing falls on the three of them, they will either die completely for the rest of their lives, or they will be completely disabled and have no way to live.

By then, let alone the emperor, they might not even be able to see the queen's face.

Zhen Huan, who originally planned to ask An Lingrong why she came to her palace to choose Jin Xi, completely lost her mind.

"Although Mrs. Xia is stupid and arrogant, her crime does not end there. Concubine Hua is too domineering!"

"I've always heard that Concubine Hua is ruthless in her methods, but she didn't want to be so decisive, and she completely ignored the sisterhood of everyone in the harem."

Sisterhood?
An Lingrong smiled, is Zhen Huan still thinking about the ridiculous sisterhood today?

The harem is a place of cannibalism, there is no such thing as sisterhood.

Putting away her smile, An Lingrong returned to her weak look, and said to the two of them: "Sister, don't be afraid, Mrs. Xia just provoked Concubine Hua in the Queen's Palace, saying that Concubine Hua was not good, and after leaving the palace, she showed up again. It's not good for the three of us to slander Concubine Hua in front of the three of us. Concubine Hua and the Queen have always been at odds with each other, so how can we fulfill her wish?"

An Lingrong pretended to touch their hands, "I know the two sisters are kind-hearted, but this harem has never been a place where sisterhood is discussed. If you are too good to others, you will easily be betrayed."

After hearing An Lingrong's explanation which was completely different from theirs, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other and finally let go of their soft hearts and went to the Queen's Palace to plead for Xia Changzai.

Zhen Huan sighed softly, looked at the fallen leaves not far away, and said: "I thought that after entering the palace, I would not encounter things recorded in ancient books. However, just a short time later, I saw Xia Changzai being rewarded by Concubine Hua. One foot red."

Shen Meizhuang touched his heart and said to An Lingrong: "I thought you were eloquent before, but I didn't expect that after encountering this kind of thing, you are still more open-minded and thoughtful than me and Zhen Huan."

Hearing this, An Lingrong felt that Shen Meizhuang was kind to her. The big girl born in Shandong might be like the colleagues she met in her previous life. She just spoke frankly and had no ill intentions.

Thinking like this, An Lingrong became less wary of Shen Meizhuang and told her story with some sincerity.

"Two sisters, my mother was not taken seriously at home. She used to sit in the small courtyard and listen to the joyful sounds of various young women in the back house. Only Aunt Xiao was kind to me, so I have gotten used to it."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang really didn't notice An Lingrong's family background. After hearing this, they quickly said: "It doesn't matter, sister Lingrong, we will take care of you from now on."

Her hands were held by the two people. Regardless of whether Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang treated her sincerely, An Lingrong put aside the prejudice of bystanders, her heart softened, and her eye circles became slightly red.

No one knows how much hardship she suffered and how many times she failed since she traveled through time before her mother and Aunt Xiao could live a good life.And these things are things that many concubines in the harem have never experienced before. They will not understand them and will only feel that they are pitiful, pathetic and deplorable.

Fortunately, she is not weak and inferior, and has different vision and skills. If Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang treat her sincerely later, she will also treat them well.

After some greetings, the screams of the palace maid suddenly came from not far away.

Several palace maids and eunuchs seemed to have been greatly frightened, and ran over from a short distance away.

The first few people ran straight through An Lingling and others. The slower ones behind were stopped by An Lingling and asked, "What happened? How can we not behave properly!"

Stopped by An Lingrong, the unfortunate little eunuch realized that the three people in front of him were not ordinary people, but the young master who had just entered the palace.

He quickly knelt down to say hello, and then hurriedly said: "Someone fell into the water in the well."

"what?"

The kind-hearted Zhen Huan exclaimed when she heard this and said quickly: "I'll go take a look."

Zhen Huan, who had been stimulated by Xia Dongchun's reward of [-] feet of red, could never see another life lost under her nose.

Therefore, An Lingrong, who wanted to stop Zhen Huan, found that she failed to stop her.

She looked at Shen Meizhuang, who was a little scared, and said, "Sister, I don't worry about Sister Wan going there alone. Let's go together."

"Okay, Zhen Huan is too brave. How can she rush through this kind of thing alone? She doesn't understand water. What will we do if she falls into the water?"

Although Shen Meizhuang was a little worried about seeing something bad, Zhen Huan had already left, and An Lingrong planned to go over to have a look, so she had to go with her beating heart.

As soon as they arrived at the well, they saw Zhen Huan leaning forward boldly, planning to lean in to observe the mouth of the well.

An Lingrong suddenly felt that something was wrong, her voice broke, "Sister, don't look."

Unfortunately, she was still one step too late.

Zhen Huan watched as she came into close contact with the palace maid who had soaked the steamed buns. She jumped up in fright, then her feet were sprained by the rocks behind her and she fell to the ground.

"Sister Wan!"

"Zhen Huan!"

Zhen Huan was greatly frightened by such a commotion. Not only the people in the palace knew about it, but also the emperor, who was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, was also alarmed.

People from the Imperial Hospital and the palace were busy, fearing that something might happen to Zhen Huan, and the Queen and the Emperor would question them.

Shen Meizhuang also felt acclimatized because Zhen Huan was frightened and fainted, so he was also helped to rest in the palace.

Only An Lingrong, who was bold and not afraid of ghosts, gods, or corpses, noticed a pair of clean women's shoes at the mouth of the well. She didn't mind them being dirty, so she secretly took them into her sleeves and returned to the palace.

Back in the palace, Jinxi, Baojuan, and Baoping, who also found out what happened to the three of them, came out with worried expressions on their faces.

"Sister Wan and Sister Shen have encountered something dirty and have fallen ill now. Jinxi, please send me some refreshing essential oils later so that the two sisters can take a nice hot bath after they wake up. .”

Jinxi nodded and went to get something to send to the two palaces.

Unlike Jinxi who thinks a lot about everything, Baojuan and Baoping's thoughts are much simpler. They smiled and said: "My lord, tomorrow the emperor will summon the new concubines to sleep with them."

"You two are the only ones with bad thoughts. You are still thinking about bedtime at this time."

An Lingrong covered her mouth and smiled, but she felt a bit of resistance to Daju in her heart.

She couldn't put down her body to cater to the big orange cat.

But it is really annoying to not please Daju and have no way to improve his status in the future.

"My little master is naturally beautiful, the emperor will definitely like my little master!"

"You two, just do your job and don't cause trouble. Don't think about these things. If others in the harem hear about it, you will only be the ones who suffer in the end."

"The servant understands."

Seeing that the two of them were obedient, An Lingrong didn't want to say anything more. She put the shoes she picked up under the bed, washed herself early, and went to bed.

Early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, An Lingrong heard Kang Fushou, who was in utter disarray, saying that the emperor felt sorry for Shen Guiren yesterday, and knowing that Shen Guiren loved chrysanthemums, he authorized all the chrysanthemums in the flower room to be sent to Shen Guiren's palace. middle.
