Chapter 151 Yixiu 20
As soon as An Lingrong entered the door, she saw Xia Dongchun walking back and forth in front of her door, and the fan in her hand left an afterimage when she waved it.
She had put a lot of effort into weaving the flowers made of colorful gemstones, but it was actually a bit heavy and not very convenient to hold.
But Xia Dongchun liked this. Knowing that the gift was for her, she not only overturned the original idea, but also actively looked for materials and gave suggestions.
In the end, it became just an "ornamental piece".
An Lingrong was actually very reluctant to admit that she made this thing, she despised it!
"You're finally back. I've been away from Suiyuxuan for so long, and Tuanzi is crying out in hunger today. Come with me and take a look."
When Xia Dongchun saw An Lingrong, he immediately ran over and anxiously pulled her towards the back hall.
"Sister Xia, please wait a moment. Let me go in and rest and change my clothes."
Only then did Xia Dongchun notice the sweat on An Lingrong's forehead, and he pulled her back to the house, still complaining.
"That's right, otherwise, after smelling you so nice, Tuanzi would have hidden himself again."
"Shuiyuxuan is so far away from us, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. You really have energy and are not afraid of tiring yourself out! Hurry up, I'll wait for you."
"Okay, then please sit down first, sister. I'll ask Baojuan to prepare some refreshments for you..."
"Alright, alright, go ahead. You've been here so many times and you still have to arrange such a small thing."
Xia Dongchun waved her hand impatiently to tell people to leave quickly, and then she looked at the embroidery that An Lingrong had placed on the table.
An Lingrong smiled and turned to leave. No one in the Yanxi Palace dared to let Tuanzi go hungry. It was just an excuse.
She knew that Xia Dongchuchun was a little afraid of Tuanzi, which was why she insisted on dragging her along. She didn't understand what there was to be afraid of such a small furry creature, but she always pretended not to know.
After Tuanzi was sent to the Yanx Palace, he was loved by everyone in the palace. Even the queen came to see him. Noble Lady Fucha was very satisfied with this. She now cares a lot about her reputation and popularity.
He was no longer as indifferent to An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun as before. If he couldn't get along well with the concubines in his palace, how could he handle the palace affairs?
She originally just wanted to find a rare toy to relieve her boredom, which would match her background as a member of the Fucha family.
I didn't expect to find such a cute little thing.
This immediately gave Noble Lady Fucha many opportunities to make friends with high-ranking concubines. The Empress Dowager ordered that concubines were no longer allowed to privately look for such little bears to raise.
She even forbade anyone to spread the news outside the palace on the grounds that raising ferocious beasts would damage the reputation of concubines.
The emperor also supported this. It was fine for his concubines to keep some pets, but it would be bad if word got out that the concubines in the harem were all vicious people who liked to keep wild beasts.
Because of this order, Tuanzi's existence became unique in the palace.
While everyone was having fun in the Yanx Palace, things were not so peaceful in the Suiyuxuan.
After Concubine Chun left, Shen Meizhuang dismissed the palace maids and looked at Zhen Huan solemnly.
Seeing Shen Meizhuang's behavior, Zhen Huan was also a little puzzled.
"Sister Mei? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Huan'er, have you noticed anything about what happened today?"
Zhen Huan subconsciously wanted to defend Chun Er, "Chun Er is young and doesn't understand these things. Her words may have offended Ling Rong, but she didn't mean to do that."
"I'll have Huanbi send some gifts to Lingrong as an apology later."
Shen Meizhuang closed her eyes and shook her head, thinking to herself that it was indeed so.
Seeing this, Zhen Huan stopped talking. She knew that Shen Meizhuang must have something to say to her.
"Does Huan'er really think Chun Chang didn't mean anything when she said that? Two boxes are so clearly placed here, and she still thinks they were made by the embroiderer?"
"But Chun'er has been getting along very well with me these days, and she doesn't have any other thoughts."
An Lingrong lived in the Zhen Mansion for a period of time, but the two separated after entering the palace. Since then, it has always been Chun Changzai who has been with Zhen Huan.
To Zhen Huan, both of them are friends who deserve her sincere treatment.
"I can see that Concubine Chun is sincere towards you, but she may not be friendly towards Lingrong."
"What do you mean, sister?"
Seeing that Zhen Huan understood, Shen Meizhuang felt relieved. She picked up the tea and slowly sipped a little to moisten her throat before continuing.
"Although I don't know why, it's obvious that Concubine Chun is rejecting Lingrong. It's just that the impression she left on you was too deep, so you were blinded."
When Zhen Huan thought about it carefully, she realized that Chun'er's attitude towards Lingrong was indeed very subtle every time.
And she had never noticed these before.
Realizing this, Zhen Huan reached out and held Shen Meizhuang's hand, pleading, "If there is anything else, please tell me clearly at once, sister."
"Let them handle their own affairs. Just pretend you don't know anything. Don't apologize on behalf of Chun Changzai."
"Think about it, if I met someone else today and she offended you with her words, and I gave her a gift, how would you feel?"
Zhen Huan felt a pang in her heart after hearing what Shen Meizhuang said. She stood up and sat over there, hugging Shen Meizhuang's arm.
He leaned on her shoulder and said sourly, "Then I'm going to be miserable."
Girls’ friendship is so strange. You can have many good friends, but there must be one who is the most special.
They grew up together and naturally made some other acquaintances during that time, but they were the two that got along best.
"My sister treats me better, but what if they just can't get along?"
"Don't worry about it. Let's just not let them get together. Lingrong is a simple-minded person, but I think she has her own thoughts. She must have seen through it a long time ago and doesn't want to argue with Chun Changzai."
"Although her family background is not prominent, you can't let Chun Changzai bully her like this. Chun Changzai lives with you, so it's not good for her to be a stranger. It's best for her not to interfere and not to choose."
Zhen Huan nodded continuously after hearing this, "Sister Mei is right. Just because we are friends with them doesn't mean we have to be friends with them."
Huanbi, who was waiting on the side, frowned slightly when she heard this and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Lady Shen, Concubine An's position is not high, her family background is humble, and even her favor is ordinary. Will Concubine Chun be dissatisfied with what the young lady did?"
No matter how you look at it, Chun Changzai is more worthy of friendship, and Huanbi doesn't understand why she has to pretend to be stupid.
"No, Huanbi, when you make friends with someone, you can't just look at their value."
"Yes, the situation in the palace changes rapidly. Who can guess what will happen next?"
Shen Meizhuang then let out a long sigh. They had never encountered any major setbacks since entering the palace, which seemed extremely strange to her.
Whether it was history books or her mother's teachings, Shen Meizhuang was extremely wary of life in the harem.
The backyard of a wealthy businessman is not peaceful, let alone such a large harem.
But now everything was eerily quiet. Even the most powerful Queen and Concubine Hua did not make any moves, causing the high-ranking concubines to dare not move either.
At this time, Shen Meizhuang didn't want to offend anyone easily.
Zhen Huan was also secretly reflecting on her own words and deeds. Since she gained favor, everything went smoothly for her and she was surrounded by good people. Chun'er said all kinds of good things to her every day.
She had become so lax without realizing it.
