Chapter 190 Ling Huan joins hands to resolve past grudges
Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were strolling in the Imperial Garden. Zhen Huan sniffed the flowers and said slowly, "Lingrong, now that Concubine Hua has been reinstated and seems to be showing signs of reforming, do you think there's something fishy going on?"
An Lingrong shook her head slightly. "Huan'er, I can't say for sure. But she has certainly restrained herself a lot now, and her former arrogance is no longer visible."
As she was speaking, Concubine Hua came towards her and bowed slightly: "My two sisters, you are in such a good mood today."
Zhen Huan responded, "Sister Hua Fei, it's been a long time since we last met. You seem different."
Concubine Hua sighed softly, "In the past, I was too obsessed and made many mistakes. In that cold palace, I thought a lot and realized my foolishness. Thank you, my two sisters, for pleading with the emperor, giving me this opportunity to reform."
An Lingrong said, "I'm glad you understand, sister. From now on, it's better for us to support each other in this palace than to scheme against each other."
Concubine Hua nodded: "Sister Lingrong is right. I heard that your spice shop is doing a booming business. Even the Emperor has inscribed a calligraphy and presented a plaque to you. You are truly capable."
An Lingrong smiled faintly: "They are just some small things, how can they compare to my sister's elegance and splendor."
A few days later, a flower viewing banquet was held in the palace. The concubines gathered together, admiring the flowers and drinking tea. Concubine Hua looked at the blossoms in the courtyard and said to Zhen Huan, "Huan Huan, look at these peonies. They are so beautiful! They are so gorgeous! I used to always have the limelight to myself, but now I understand that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone."
Zhen Huan said, "Sister, you have such a realization. It is a blessing for the palace. This palace should not be a place of only fighting. Harmony is the right way."
At this moment, a young palace maid accidentally knocked over a teacup, splashing tea onto Yu Da Ying's skirt. Yu Da Ying flew into a rage, "You clumsy servant! You know this skirt is a new gift from the Emperor! Can you afford to pay for it?"
The little maid was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lady, please forgive me, my lady, please forgive me!"
Seeing this, Zhen Huan hurriedly said, "I agree. This little maid must have made an unintentional mistake. Don't be angry. Just let her change her clothes and come back to serve you."
Yu agreed but persisted: "Zhen Huan, don't pretend to be a good person here! This is my maid, I will deal with it myself, it's not your turn to meddle in other people's business!"
Concubine Hua frowned and said, "I promise you, what's your attitude? Sister Zhen Huan also has good intentions. You are so aggressive and you have lost the dignity of a concubine."
Yu agreed and snorted, "Hua Fei, don't think that just because you've been reinstated you can teach me a lesson. I'm not afraid of you!"
An Lingrong said softly, "I promise. If you continue to be so willful, you might displease the Emperor."
Yu agreed and stopped talking, but still glared at the little palace maid fiercely.
After the flower viewing banquet, Concubine Hua said to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, "Yu promised to be so arrogant that she will cause disaster sooner or later. We must find a way to restrain her."
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I think we can start with her hobbies. I heard that she loves singing. If we can make her fall in this area, perhaps she will be more restrained."
An Lingrong's eyes lit up. "Huan'er, this is a brilliant plan. We can arrange a palace banquet and invite some musicians. Then, we can deliberately praise the song that Yu Da Ying is singing in front of the musicians and have her sing it in public. Then, we can secretly instruct the musicians to tamper with her singing to make her look bad."
Concubine Hua laughed and said, "You two little brats, you have quite a few ideas. Let's do it this way."
At the palace banquet, Yu Ying was flattered by everyone, and when Zhen Huan asked her to sing a song, she agreed without hesitation. However, when she started to sing, she found that the tune was completely wrong and her voice became hoarse and unpleasant.
Yu Da Ying was shocked and angry: "This...what's going on?"
The concubines all covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Concubine Hua pretended to be surprised and said, "Yu Danying, why is your song so unsatisfactory today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Da Ying knew that he had been plotted against, but he had no choice but to leave the table in shame.
After this incident, I promised to be more restrained and no longer act as recklessly as before.
The relationship between Zhen Huan, An Lingrong and Hua Fei also becomes closer and closer. They support each other and jointly deal with other challenges in the palace.
However, with the arrival of a mysterious noblewoman, new waves of unrest are brewing in the palace. This noblewoman, with her mysterious identity, elegant manners, and deep favor from the emperor, quickly establishes a firm foothold in the palace. Her appearance makes Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and Concubine Hua feel threatened. How should they deal with this new situation?
