Chapter 11. Suppression

In the snow and ice, An Lingrong stood under the corridor of Yikun Palace holding a basin of water, trembling, but she dared not and could not relax. The voice of Hua Fei inside came, like a tiny needle that fell into her ears, and every word was humiliation and contempt.

An Lingrong closed her eyes weakly, with cold sweat on her head, she swayed and fell heavily from the steps. The basin of water sprinkled all over her body. When the cold wind blew, it immediately condensed into ice. She felt that it was so cold that it was bone-bone.

This is the third day she was punished in Huafei Palace and the third day she received a new title.

After only three months of entering the palace, An Lingrong was promoted as soon as she served in bed, and then was awarded the title of the sixth rank. In the palace, no one except Zhen Huan, who had always been sick, had ever received this honor. Even though she carefully avoided favors and tried her best to please Concubine Hua, she still could not escape the fate of being suppressed by Concubine Hua.

Seeing that her honor and favor were about to surpass the two nobles, Chenmeizhuang and Fucha Yixin, Hua Fei immediately became alert.

"Empress, Rong Changzai fainted." Song Zhi walked in and reported to Concubine Hua.

Lipin sat in the hall, and Concubine Cao and Yu agreed. As they were talking, Concubine Hua pretended that she hadn't heard what Song Zhi said, and was joking with the three of them. She slowly rolled her face with the jade wheel, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, but her smile was not enough to reach her eyes.

"I heard that my sister can sing Kunqu opera, and the emperor likes it." Lipin looked at Yu and agreed, secretly teasing her.

Concubine Cao smiled and continued: "The emperor is busy with the government affairs on weekdays, and it is most comfortable to listen to his sister sing a song. No wonder her sister is so happy to please the emperor." She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly. She glanced out of the corner of her eyes and glanced out of the door, and a trace of unbearableness passed by, "But this Feng Changzai has a good voice, and she can't even sing the song, and she can't even compare to her sister's star."

Concubine Hua seemed to be unaware: "What kind of songs do sister Yu sing?"

Yu agreed to fall into Hua Fei's eyes consciously, and hurriedly got up and replied, "I was shocked by the dreams of traveling to the garden, which was taught by my concubine's father."

Concubine Hua raised her voice and asked Langlang: "Can you sing a fool?"

Yu agreed and was stunned.

Lipin and Cao Guiren suddenly reacted, and their faces changed.

Under the corridor, An Lingrong's breath was weak and his consciousness was hazy. Cao Guiren's voice seemed to come from the sky: "... Rong Chang was born in a humble family. If he thought that he could reach the sky with the emperor's favor, he would be able to reach the sky in one step. If the Empress doesn't like her anymore, let her die on her own. Why bother to get angry with herself?"

Lipin's voice also came around: "I also felt unlucky. I thought I was a clever person, but I didn't expect it to be a sick person who coughed all day long, and it was so unlucky."

After holding a Yu agreed in his hand, Hua Fei's dislike for An Lingrong became more and more prominent. She was persuaded by both sides and immediately patted the board: "Didn't that Shuyuxuan always be sick? Humph, I saw that the two of them were very compatible. One and two were sick, and they might be able to be sisters together. Lipin, when she went back, she asked the palace people to clean up and let her move to Shuyuxuan..."

An Lingrong completely fainted. The last moment she saw was the figure of Concubine Cao hurriedly walking out.

When I opened my eyes again, the bedroom in front of me had already changed.

Cardamom shed tears in front of the bed, and Dill was walking in with the medicine in his hand. Seeing An Lingrong open his eyes, he swept his sad face and ran forward three steps and two steps: "My master, you are awake. You have been unconscious for three days, but you have scared me."

Cardamom was also shocked and rushed to An Lingrong and cried.

"Okay, stop crying." An Lingrong was weak and raised her hand to touch Cardamom's face with difficulty, and looked at Dill again, "Where is this? It seems that it is not Zichun Pavilion."

Dill's face turned dark and said, "This is the East Side Hall of Sailuxuan. Chunchang was originally where he lived, but Wanchang was sick when he first entered the palace, so she moved out to avoid illness, so she was always empty here." The little master and Wanchang were in the same class as the sixth rank, one lived in the main hall and the other lived in the side hall, and the other appeared immediately. Why was he inferior?

Dill is young after all, even though he is usually calm and experienced, his face is a little emotional now.

"Don't say that." An Lingrong sat up, held one with one hand, and said earnestly, "The emperor suddenly gave me a title, annoyed Concubine Hua. This was something I had never expected. Being moved out of Qixiang Palace at the moment may not be a good thing for me. First, I can avoid the edge, and second, I will also take advantage of the situation to escape from Concubine Hua's control, and at least I can take a breath."

Originally, she didn't think about staying in Hua Fei's camp for how long.

"What's more, Wan Changzai from Shuyuxuan is a smart person with a good temper. If I live with her, I will feel much more comfortable in the future. You two should get along well with them and don't cause trouble." An Lingrong reminded them.

Dill and cardamom nodded.

An Lingrong coughed twice, and Dill felt tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back: "This time I really hurt my body. I must let Cardamom take some care of it."

An Lingrong nodded and told Dill to go to Jingshifang to remove his green head.

"Young Master, don't worry about this. Concubine Hua has sent someone to say it. I'm afraid the little master will not be able to serve her for a long time." Douko said angrily, raised her hand to take her pulse, and whispered, "As for the Wan Changzai next door, I took a look at her from a distance. She is not sick at all and is in good health!"

An Lingrong pursed her lips and said nothing.

Sure enough, Zhen Huan in her previous life deliberately avoided favor.

While drinking medicine, someone came in outside.

"I am the head of the palace maid Cui Jinxi, who is in charge of the palace maid from Shayuxuan, and I hope that it will be auspicious." Cui Jinxi dressed up in plain colors and looked very reliable. "A few days ago, the young master was in a coma, and Wan Chang was thinking that the west side hall was cold and wet, which was not conducive to the young master's care, so he decided to arrange you in the east side hall. If the young master doesn't like it, it would be good to move to the west side hall in a few days."

"Sister Guan is thoughtful and there is no need to move anymore, that's great." An Lingrong nodded slightly and smiled slightly, "In the future, I will live with Sister Guan, so I have to bother my aunt to take care of it everywhere. These are just expenses for daily management."

Dill took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Cui Jinxi's hand.

Cui Jinxi's eyes were filled with surprise, thinking that Rong Chang was just the daughter of the county magistrate, why did she act so generously? But she didn't show her face. She took her politely and left.

"Cui Jinxi is obviously talking to Wan Chang. Don't treat her too well." Douko nodded.

An Lingrong just smiled and instead told Douko: "Don't run around these days, stay in Broken Yuxuan." After saying that, he sighed.

She originally thought that she could be safer for more than half a year with the mountain of Concubine Hua, but she slowly made plans, but she didn't expect that the emperor suddenly came out, which made Concubine Hua afraid of her favor, and she could not tolerate her for one more day. If it weren't for Concubine Cao, she would be unable to save her life.

It’s a pity that most of the good things she sent out to prepare before were wasted.

However, it was not entirely rewarding. At least she knew what she was worth in the emperor's heart, right?

An Lingrong recited her title quietly. Although the word "Rong" is similar to her name, the emperor said that she was "a gentle and tolerant, gentle and kind." This word was not taken from her name, but a symbol of the emperor's recognition of her.

An Lingrong couldn't help but smiled sadly.

In her previous life, she spent her whole life getting the title of "中" and could not escape the prison of the cage bird until her death. In this life, she had her own title early and was valued by the emperor.

It's really different.

Even though he suffered all the troubles and humiliations from Concubine Hua because of this title, An Lingrong thought it was worth it.

Since her rebirth, she has not realized as clearly as she is now that fate has been held in her hand.

Life in Shuyuxuan was not easy. Hua Fei suppressed her everywhere, and she was obviously always there, but An Lingrong could get only the promised one. Even because the palace people worshiped high and lowered, her share was shrinking again and again.

An Lingrong had to look like he was sluggish.

"My master, the 'thing' I bought last month by Shopkeeper Xun has arrived now. Do you want to click it in person?" An Lingrong was picking flowers with Zhen Huan and dill came in to report.

An Lingrong knew it and said, "Go and bring that crabapple hairpin and put the rest into the warehouse one by one according to the previous rules." Instead, he said to Zhen Huan, "Sister Wan, this hairpin is a picture I have personally described. Sister, you must accept it."

Zhen Huan refused twice and refused, but she accepted it.

In this blink of an eye, An Lingrong had been living in Shuyuxuan for almost a month. Winter went and spring came, but these two days were colder than in the first month. The emperor seemed to have forgotten her and never summoned her again.

An Lingrong didn't care, and just joked with Zhen Huan every day. Occasionally, she met Shen Meizhuang to visit her, and the three of them slowly established a relationship.

When it's good, Zhen Huan will dress up with An Lingrong and carry a hairpin, which will give you a bit of the scene when An Lingrong temporarily lived in Zhen's mansion in his previous life.

Seeing that An Lingrong and Zhen Huan were getting better and better, Dill Cardamom and Huanbi Liuzhu became familiar with each other. In the rest, Moer and Qiner and Peier were in good terms, and Xiao Yunzi and Xiao Shizi got along well.

Yes, the three of them followed after An Lingrong moved out of Qixiang Palace without saying a word, but let Dill and Cardamom look at each other differently.

At night, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan had dinner together and sat together to sew clothes.

Due to the suppression of Concubine Hua, even with Shen Meizhuang's help, the winter clothes prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were still not enough, and they had to do some embroidery work by themselves.

Cui Jinxi took two hand stoves and stuffed them into An Lingrong and Zhen Huan's arms one by one.

"A few days ago, I went to the Interior Office to receive the end of the month. On the way, I met several palace ladies and said that Xia's family in Yanxi Palace had been demoted to agree!" Liu Zhu and Dou Kou looked at each other and talked about this matter. "The chief supervisor of the Interior Office made things difficult for Xia's promise to frost flowers around her. In the end, they didn't give her money. Frost flowers walked away with tears."

Cardamom looked resentful: "It was both agreed, but I agreed and it was very unfair."

An Lingrong patted her gently: "Don't talk behind the scenes, be careful that others will hear you, you will suffer."

Zhen Huan quickly changed the topic: "Sister Mei said that the emperor wants to reduce the cost of the harem. Which palace does not do some needlework to subsidize it? At least we still loosen our hands." Zhen Huan looked up and smiled at An Lingrong.

An Lingrong also nodded and said, "What's more, I like embroidery, and I just think it's practiced for myself, so as not to get unfamiliar with the needle for too long."

Everyone smiled.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door. An Lingrong looked up at Zhen Huan with some confusion, and saw her with a confused look on her face.

It’s strange that Shayuxuan is remote and so late again, who else will come?

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan also asked, "It's so late, who will come?"

Huanbi immediately got up and walked out with Dill. After a while, she led Chunchang, who was crying, and said: "Little Master, Rong, it's Xiao Master Chun who is here."

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan quickly put away the needle and thread.

As soon as Chunchang entered the door, he threw himself into Zhen Huan's arms. His petite body kept shaking, unable to speak clearly, and he just wanted to cry.

Zhen Huan coaxed her for a while, then asked her to drink milk tea, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid", and then she stopped coaxing her.

After a while, Chunchangzai was a little better, and she explained the reason: "Xinchang and I returned to the palace just now. But the paper lanterns in the palace maid's hand were burned by the wind. Yu happened to have agreed to come over in Fengluan Chunen's car. The horse driving was frightened and shocked Yu." Chunchang raised his face full of tears and said in a crying voice, "But I saw it really at that time, and the horse was skilled in training, and that shock was not at all. But Yu agreed not to let go, and Xinchang was not too polite when she spoke..."

Cui Jinxi said from the side: "Xin Chang is the old man next to the emperor, and his rank is higher than Yu's promise. There is no need to be respectful to Yu's promise."

Chunchang wiped his tears: "Yu promised to be favored, and with the support of Concubine Hua, he has always been awesome." She turned to look at Zhen Huan, "Sister Xin was not happy at first, but the two of them quarreled. Yu agreed to be angry and asked someone to lock Sister Xin in the Shenzheng Department!" As she said that, her voice was filled with crying again.
