I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 363 An Lingrong 19

"Eunuch Su, please help me pass the message." Zhen Huan said stubbornly.

Su Peisheng sighed and said, "Well, if the emperor doesn't want to see you this time, then Concubine Wan can go back."

After saying that, Su Peisheng entered the hall.

After a while, Su Peisheng came out. Facing Zhen Huan's expectant eyes, he shook his head.

The expectation in Zhen Huan's eyes was extinguished, but she didn't want to give up, so she knelt on the ground, hoping to make the emperor soften his heart and see her.

Su Peisheng looked at her action, raised his hand and put it down again: "My lady, why are you doing this?"

Zhen Huan didn't say anything. She knelt on the ground and looked at the hall, hoping that the emperor would spare her father this time because of their past friendship.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and then slowly set. Zhen Huan had been kneeling for several hours. Her face was sweaty from the sun, and her complexion was a little pale, as if she had suffered from heatstroke.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. Suddenly, she heard the sound of high-heeled shoes coming from behind her, and it was getting closer and closer.

At this time, Su Peisheng's voice rang out: "Hey, why is He Guiren here? You are pregnant, you can't get into trouble, Baojuan, why don't you support your master well."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan kneeling on the ground and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Concubine Wan? Eunuch Su, why is Concubine Wan kneeling here? Did she do something wrong?"

Hearing An Lingrong's voice, Zhen Huan perked up. Seeing Su Peisheng being polite and somewhat flattering to An Lingrong, and An Lingrong still showing off in front of her, she felt very embarrassed.

She used to think that she was of nobler birth than An Lingrong, and the emperor doted on her so much. She thought that one day she would surpass An Lingrong. By then, An Lingrong would probably not be as indifferent to her as she is now.

She would surely come to please her.

But she didn't expect that once her father got into trouble, all her ideas would be useless.

The emperor was obviously angry with her because of her father. Now An Lingrong is very much favored by the emperor. If she can plead for her father, I think the emperor will listen.

When this thought suddenly came to her mind, Zhen Huan felt both sad and expectant.

Seeing An Lingrong walking towards the main hall, Zhen Huan quickly called her, "Lingrong."

An Lingrong paused: "If I remember correctly, I am a noble lady and you are a concubine. You did not bow to me for a reason. Now you dare to call me by my name. What's the logic? It seems that Concubine Wan still needs to learn some more rules."

Wan Changzai felt even more humiliated. She thought angrily, how could An Lingrong think that others would look up to her just because she is taller than her?

I can't call her name yet.

But now that she suddenly needs help from An Lingrong, she will not object. It will not be too late to take revenge when she turns over again and becomes more powerful than her in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan acted like she was asking for help. She pleaded, "My dear, since I helped you before, can you please ask for mercy for my father?"

He Guiren suddenly realized: "So it's this matter. I heard that your father was a concubine and a maid, and he didn't cultivate his personal morality. This matter has spread throughout the court and the country, so the emperor demoted him again and again."

"Since you helped me before, I want to help you too, but I am just a girl in the harem, and girls in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I dare not knowingly break the rules."

"Mr. Wan, I can't help you either."

"In fact, the emperor has been lenient enough in punishing Uncle Zhen. He didn't want to kill him."

Zhen Huan felt like vomiting blood after listening to this. She also understood that An Lingrong meant that she would not plead for her.

She had helped her to plead for Xia Dongchun before. If she hadn't helped her, would she have been able to enter the palace and become a master? She was really an ungrateful person.

Knowing that An Lingrong was unreliable, Zhen Huan shouted angrily to the emperor, wanting him to hear her.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan who looked a little crazy. She put her index finger to her lips, hushed, and then said, "Wan Changzai, this is where the emperor rests and works. You have no right to yell here. It's really inappropriate. Eunuch Su, you should have someone take Wan Changzai back. It would be bad to disturb the emperor."

Su Peisheng bent over and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

So, after the announcement, An Lingrong entered the hall, and Zhen Huan was taken out of Jiuzhou Qingyan and could never enter again.

After entering the hall, An Lingrong saw the emperor sitting cross-legged on the kang, writing something.

An Lingrong bowed: "Greetings to the Emperor."

The emperor heard the voice and saw that it was An Lingrong, so he said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, An Lingrong took out a bowl of pear and white fungus soup from the food box brought by Baojuan and placed it in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the soup I made. It moistens the lungs and relieves coughs. I noticed that you have had a cough these past two days. You can drink some."

The emperor picked up the spoon and took a bite: "Mm, not bad, Rong'er is thoughtful."

An Lingrong smiled and said modestly, "As long as the emperor likes it."

After that, An Lingrong did not disturb him. She saw a book on the table and picked it up to read.

The hall was very quiet, and soon the emperor finished reviewing the memorials.

Then he looked at An Lingrong who was sitting opposite him.

At this time, An Lingrong was reading a book of poetry. The emperor asked, "Rong'er also likes poetry?"

An Lingrong said: "I have never had the opportunity to read such a book before. I have only just started reading it now. I am not very knowledgeable and cannot say whether I like it or not."

The emperor nodded: "I didn't understand it before, but it's not too late to read it now. Rong'er is smart, maybe we can discuss poetry together in the future."

An Lingrong: "Your Majesty really honors me."

An Lingrong had a smile on her face, but she was rolling her eyes in her heart. Although she understood poetry, she had no interest in discussing it with him.

Suddenly, the emperor asked, "Just now, you saw Concubine Wan outside the palace? Don't you have anything to say?"

He knew that Wan Changzai had been kneeling outside the door, but he was very angry because of her father, so how could he want to see her.

Since she wants to kneel, then she should kneel.

An Lingrong knew that the emperor was testing her: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral rules, women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I would not knowingly violate the rules. Besides, your majesty's orders are always correct. Your majesty must have made the decision after investigating the matter thoroughly, and he would not wrongly accuse anyone."

After hearing this, the emperor felt relieved and did not say anything more on the topic. The two of them changed the subject tacitly.

The atmosphere here was very good. On the other side, after Zhen Huan could not enter Jiuzhou Qingyan and pleaded with the Emperor, she was not concerned and had to take Liu Zhu to find Sister Mei.

As for Huanbi, she was taken away and punished after the incident was exposed, and there has been no news about her since then.

Sister Mei treats her as her own sister, so she will definitely help her.

She is not an ungrateful person like An Lingrong.
