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

Chapter 10
I wonder if Concubine Hua wants to be the first to denounce Shenmeizhuang, so she came very early today to greet her.

When she was helped into the palace by Songzhi, she saw An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang sitting in the palace drinking tea early, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Shen Guihe and Qing Changzai come so early every time they come to pay their respects to the queen. They almost catch up with the maids serving in the queen's palace."

"Concubine Concubine Hua, may you wish her well. It is your duty to pay your respects to the Concubine. It is of course best to come early."

An Lingrong saluted and took the lead in answering Concubine Hua's words on behalf of Shen Meizhuang, who was full of complaints.

Concubine Li, who noticed that the fight had begun inside, hurried in and said, "How come Mr. Shen didn't even bring anyone with him to serve you? Did he come over alone to pay his respects to the Queen?"

As soon as these words came out, the conclusion in Shen Meizhuang's heart was completely confirmed. Libi was the one who gave advice to Concubine Hua.

Shen Meizhuang stood up and said calmly to Libi: "On the way here, I met a sloppy little eunuch who poured dirty water on Caiyue. I asked her to go back and change clothes first to avoid dirtying everyone's eyes. "

"That's really not a coincidence."

Concubine Li carefully looked at Concubine Hua's face and smiled awkwardly when she saw that there seemed to be sparks in Concubine Hua's eyes.

"Yes, so I punished the young eunuch. I believe that after this lesson, he will not make such mistakes again in the future."

As a nobleman, Shen Meizhuang had no way to punish Concubine Hua or punish Concubine Li, so he naturally vented his anger on the eunuch who helped with the matter.

"Those eunuchs who didn't follow should be punished."

As soon as Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, the queen walked out from the front, held the handle, and sat on the seat.

"The time to pay my respects to this palace is still half an hour away. Why are you sisters here so early?"

"Back to the Queen, Mr. Shen and I were hit by bad things yesterday. Naturally, we wanted to come to the Queen's Palace as soon as possible to let the auspicious energy dissipate the bad luck."

An Lingrong lowered her head and said flattering words that made the queen extremely happy.

"Qing Chang Zai's words are sweet. I have also heard about what happened yesterday. Concubine Hua, I remember that the palace maid was specially assigned to serve you. How could she stumble and fall into the well?"

The queen put pressure on Concubine Hua, and it happened that other concubines entered the palace and heard what the queen said.

Concubine Hua immediately snorted coldly and said, "Ever since she became my concubine, she has been sneaking around all day long and has disappeared. Who knows if she has some evil intentions and fell into the well unconsciously."

"Is that right?"

The queen glanced at Concubine Li, who was obviously out of state, and made a decision in her heart, "In this case, it's not easy for me to ask any questions. I would like to remind you sisters that you should put your heirs first in everything, and find ways to communicate with the emperor. Only through contact can you continue to be favored like Concubine Hua."

"The queen is joking. My concubine's favor is not comparable to that of other low-class concubines. I am feeling a little unwell, so I will leave now."

After speaking, Concubine Hua stood up, waved her handkerchief, and left without waiting for the queen's reply.

Shen Meizhuang, who had long disliked Concubine Hua, subconsciously defended the empress, "Concubine Hua does not think highly of the empress. Doesn't the empress punish Concubine Hua?"

An Lingrong's heart tightened. Shen Meizhuang's recent performance was pretty good and he was considered a neutral.

But as soon as these words were spoken, it was easy for everyone to feel that they were in line.

The older Concubine Qi, who has always been in the Queen's faction, touched her handkerchief and said, "Queen, I think what Shen Guiren said is that every time Concubine Hua greets you, she either doesn't come or leaves early. She doesn't do it at all." I take you seriously." "I know Concubine Hua's temperament well."

The queen looked at Concubine Qi and Guiren Shen with satisfaction, hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision for the emperor.

"Compared to Concubine Hua, from today onwards the Emperor will let newcomers from each palace attend his bed. In my opinion, Shen Guiren is very likely to win the favor of the Emperor. After all, the Emperor always values ​​women from the Han banner."

In just one sentence, the flames of war were transferred from Concubine Hua to Shen Meizhuang.

The Queen's image of a good person has been engraved in everyone's bones. Upon hearing these words, all the concubines had no other thoughts except being envious and jealous that Shen Meizhuang was very likely to get the right to sleep with her tonight.

Shen Meizhuang, who became the focus of everyone, turned into a little girl who seemed to have been appointed by the emperor to sleep with her. She stood up and said softly: "I think it doesn't matter whether I am a concubine or not, as long as the emperor likes her."

"With your words, I feel relieved. My dear Fucha, you must also work hard."

The Queen, who waved her hand to signal everyone to leave, started her daily calligraphy practice with satisfaction.

After leaving the Queen's residence, Shen Meizhuang, who was walking at the front, slowed down slightly and waited for An Lingrong, who was walking at the back.

The two walked out together, talking about what had just happened.

"Lingrong, I was afraid that the Queen would eavesdrop, so I didn't take the initiative to talk to you about this matter."

Shen Meizhuang was the first to speak, holding An Lingrong's hand sincerely, with fear on his face, "If I am splashed with water by the eunuch today and cannot greet the Queen normally, perhaps I will be grounded by Concubine Hua and unable to leave the palace."

"Sister, you have to be more careful in the future. We came into the palace together and we are already sisters."

An Lingrong smiled and said: "What the queen said today is right. Maybe today my sister was turned over by the emperor and was favored by the emperor."

"You, what have you been thinking about all day long?"

Shen Meizhuang blushed at An Lingrong's straightforward words, and then said with some expectation: "Do you think the emperor will really turn over my name and let me go to bed?"

"It was supposed to be the noble Fucha, but when the queen mentioned this matter today, she probably told the emperor and asked my sister to go to bed first."

"But by doing this, the Empress, didn't the noble Fucha lose the opportunity and lose face?"

Hearing this, An Lingrong looked directly at Shen Meizhuang and said quietly: "Sister is smart, but Fucha has no family background and no brains. My sister also saw the expression in the palace before."

"The Empress took the initiative to let her sister sleep with her. Firstly, she was trying to steal Concubine Hua's favor. Secondly, she was trying to ignite the power of the noble Fucha to compete with her sister for favor."

"The three pillars are the most balanced!"

Shen Meizhuang was shocked by An Lingrong's words. She quickly looked around and found that there was no one else around. She whispered: "You should say such things outside. It is disrespectful to speculate on the Queen at will!"

Even if An Lingrong was telling the truth, without evidence, how could she prove that the Queen had such a wonderful thought.

"Sister, there are no outsiders here. Only my sister and I are talking sincerely. If my sister is betrayed tonight, she must be loved by the emperor, so that sister Wan and I can live well in the harem."
