Chapter 437: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 41

The news spread quickly. As soon as the Jingren Palace paid respects, the Qianqing Palace had already received the news. However, no one in the palace, from top to bottom, including the Emperor, had any objection to Concubine Hua's actions. After listening to the Queen's "story", he blamed Shang Rou for agreeing to her.

"I've just been too busy lately, and I like to watch her dance for fun, so I summoned her a few more times. How dare you compare yourself with Shi Lan!"

"A fake is a fake. I'm not as tactful as the noble lady from Wan."

The emperor was upset and did not want to see the queen's false face. He waved his hand for the queen to leave and started writing a new letter to mourn his deceased wife Chunyuan.

"Alas, Shilan has a strong character and will not give in. She doesn't like to laugh or get along with others. If this incident gets out, I think someone will write a memorial to scold Shilan again."

Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, many ministers have been dissatisfied with the fact that Concubine Hua, a concubine, is in charge of the power in the harem. Some of them were arranged by Longkodo at the behest of the Empress Dowager, and some were followers of the Ulanara family. Overall, they had one purpose, which was to ask Nian Shilan to return the power in the palace to the Empress.

At the beginning, the emperor did let the queen take charge, but the queen was really incompetent and always did some petty things that made him lose face in front of his relatives and ministers. Later, he had no choice but to transfer the power of the palace to Concubine Hua. On the one hand, it was to stabilize Nian Gengyao who was leading troops in the northwest, and on the other hand, it was because the emperor had no money and relied on Concubine Hua to pay for it.

The Empress and the Queen Mother were also aware of this, so they could accept the fact that the power of the palace was in the hands of Concubine Hua. However, after Concubine Hua had the power of the palace, the Queen Mother and the Empress would no longer favor her, especially if it was a sincere favor with no other reason.

That's why a new person was brought into the palace. Looking at the current situation, the Queen Mother's approach cannot be said to be ineffective, but the effect was not as good as she expected, so she brought in another soft concubine.

"Your Highness, Concubine Hua has gone too far. I am wronged."

At this time, Rouguan girl was kneeling in the Cining Palace and crying to the Empress Dowager. Her face was still swollen from the slap, and her eyes were badly swollen. The Empress Dowager knew that Rouguan girl had been wronged, but she had also heard the whole story. Rouguan girl was punished because she was the one who provoked Concubine Hua with her bad mouth.

"Hey, you get up first."

"I know you have been wronged, but although Concubine Hua punished her severely, you can't blame her. It was you who started it first."

"I asked you to enter the palace because I hoped you would help the queen maintain her favor and give birth to a prince with Uya's bloodline."

If I had known that my niece Wu Yarou'er was so stupid and reckless, I would never have chosen her to enter the palace just because she looked a bit like Rouze.

"Empress Dowager, how can I face the Emperor after Concubine Hua hit me in the face like this?"

After a few simple words of persuasion, the gentle official girl refused to listen and kept crying and begging the Queen Mother to make a decision for her. The Queen Mother gradually frowned and became impatient, "If it weren't for the fact that you are a junior of my clan, a official girl wouldn't even be qualified to kowtow to me outside the Cining Palace."

"If you still don't obey, I can just replace you with someone who is obedient to enter the palace."

When Rouguan heard the empress dowager's harsh words that she was going to give up on her, she dared not cry anymore. She could only suppress the grievance in her heart and leave obediently. However, as soon as she walked out of the Cining Palace, Rouguan's expression changed instantly.

"Hmph, you old fool. You lied to my father and mother that I had to enter the palace to help the queen win her favor, and then you did it yourself. When you were punished by Concubine Hua, neither the queen nor the queen mother would say a word of comfort."

"You still dare to threaten me to replace someone else to enter the palace?"

The soft official woman's eyes hardened, and she made up her mind. She raised her hand to touch her face and lowered her eyes, "After I recover from my injuries..."

Rouguan woman was like a comet. She quickly gained favor, met Nian Shilan, and then quickly fell out of favor. She was a flash in the pan and then faded into silence in the harem.

Perhaps it was because of the absence of Rouguannv, Chun Yuan's second substitute, the emperor missed Chun Yuan and could only look for Zhen Huan, Chun Yuan's first substitute. Since Rouguannv was demoted, Zhen Huan quickly took her place and favored her even as much as Nian Shilan. After that, the emperor stayed in Yikun Palace for about ten days and in Chengqian Palace for about ten days.

However, this time, Shen Meizhuang could only see the emperor for one or two days every month, and most of the ten days in Chengqian Palace were given to Zhen Huan.

Huanbi, who was beside Zhen Huan, became proud again because of this. She not only started to make sarcastic remarks to Caiyue and Caixing, who served Shen Meiyu, but also directly called An Lingrong, who came to visit Zhen Huan, "a beggar". Coincidentally, An Lingrong herself heard it with her own ears.

This incident was even more embarrassing for An Lingrong than the "Floating Light Brocade" incident in her previous life. Zhen Huan witnessed this scene awkwardly. Although she scolded Huanbi a few words, her protective attitude still broke An Lingrong's heart.

"Does my sister think of me the same way?"

An Lingrong mustered up the courage to look Zhen Huan straight in the eye, wanting to see Zhen Huan's true thoughts. Zhen Huan was startled by An Lingrong's seriousness and her eyes wandered. Although Zhen Huan reacted quickly and came back to her senses almost immediately, An Lingrong still saw the hesitation for a few seconds clearly.

"Although Lingrong is grateful for her sister's kindness during the selection, she knows that she is of low status and cannot help her sister in any way. Lingrong will remember her sister's kindness in her heart. When her sister needs it, Lingrong will definitely repay her with all her strength. However, Lingrong will not come to Chengqian Palace from now on."

This is what it means to owe someone a favor. Even if they look down on you and you want to break up with them, you cannot say harsh words. Although Zhen Huan was angry that An Lingrong misunderstood her because of such a small matter, as soon as she thought that An Lingrong had not even met the Emperor yet and could not help her at all, she felt that it would be fine if An Lingrong did not come.

"Since Sister An has made up her mind, I don't want to force her. Huanbi said the wrong thing today, so please don't misunderstand."

"In the future, if you need any help from me, you can send someone to Chengqian Palace. I will definitely help if I can." So remember to help you if I can in the future because of my kindness to you!

When An Lingrong left Chengqian Palace, she did not feel as painful as she had imagined. Instead, she felt relieved. It was as if she had gotten rid of a burden from her heart.

"It turns out that Zhen Huan's kindness to me has become a burden on my heart, weighing me down and making me feel suffocated..."

Although An Lingrong has an inferiority complex, she actually has a very high self-esteem in her heart. She is very grateful to Zhen Huan. The emotional changes in the later part of the plot, including giving the Fu Guang Jin to Zhen Huan after she was favored in the early stage, are all manifestations of An Lingrong's strong self-esteem. She is eager to repay Zhen Huan's kindness and interact with Zhen Huan in an upright manner, as if only in this way can she get rid of her inferiority complex and become Zhen Huan's true good sister.

But no matter in the past life or this life, An Lingrong failed to realize her inner desire and become Zhen Huan's good sister. It was just that An Lingrong in the past life became evil because of this, but in this life, An Lingrong only felt relieved because she finally exchanged the favor with her promise.

The most terrifying thing about repaying a favor is that there is no limit. An Lingrong never knows to what extent she should go to repay Zhen Huan's favor, because she owes a favor and can only be inferior to Zhen Huan, which is really too frustrating.

It's good in this life. Everything is out in the open. I made a promise to Zhen Huan. When Zhen Huan comes to me one day in the future, the time when I fulfill my promise will be when I will repay Zhen Huan's kindness.
